Chapter Text
"Hey, Is anyone there?"
He could see the small shadow coming towards him, it looked weird.
"What the-"
Out popped a small pink looking squid, it was cute.
"I'm a happian! I'm in a quest to spread happiness through the universe-pi. Having bid farewell to my home, Planet Happy, I landed on this green-blue planet today-pi. But I was close to being captured and had nothing to eat. It was rough-pi."
That's when Kalluto-kun came to my rescue-pi!
"Thank you so much-pi! This bread is so yummy-pi!"
"So you're really an alien? Whats your name?"
"Nueinukf is my name-pi."
"Huh.?"
"Nueinukf"
"Oh uh- but you can call me whatever you like-pi!"
"Mhmh.. well in that case, takopi"
Kalluto signed somewhat what they looked like but Takopi didn't get it.
If Kalluto-kun says we look alike then perhaps we do. Kalluto-kun is a kind of "human" he's aged 13 years. He knows a lot about "living creatures" and is very nice. He makes Takopi really happy..
"Oh- Kalluto-kun! Let me repay you for your kindness-pi!"
He pulled out a ring like object with wings on it.
"Flappy wings! This is one of my happy gadgets! It allows you to fly freely through the sky-pi! Just like this!"
Takopi was flying around with his gadget and Kalluto stared blankly but almost curiously.
"What do you think-pi? Here, you try now-pi, Kalluto-kun."
"Um, no thanks.."
Kalluto turned to leave.
"h-huh?"
"I have to go back home, I've been out too long. Bye"
"E-eh!?"
"Oh, and the bread was leftover from my lunch, so don't worry about it. I can give you more tomorrow."
"W-Why-pi! It's so fun you should try it!"
"...Even if I could fly, nothing would change."
"Mata ashita"
(Seeya tomorrow)
Could it be that.. Kalluto-kun can already fly!? This planet does have plenty flying creatures.. So maybe humans go out every night to practice their flying skills?
"Kalluto-kun, is this also apart of your training-pi?"
"Keep it down, we're in a public park. If anyone wants to come by you could be found. The children are just getting out of school and if they find you it's the animal shelter."
"Pi!"
"School" is where children go everyday to learn. I wonder why Kalluto-kun doesn't go-pi?
"Why don't you go to school Kalluto-kun?"
"My parents teach me at home."
The children were giggling and talking amongst themselves.
"That sounds fun, why don't you go talk with them-pi?"
"I don't know them. It'd be weird."
Takopi didn't understand "weird' or the concept of not talking to someone because you dont know them. Happians always talk together no matter who knows who!
"Ah right! Let me repay your kindness-pi! Today's Happy Gadget is... a Happy Camera!"
They sat on the large pipes that'd been giving shelter to Takopi.
"It may look like an ordinary camera, but when you take a picture with it-pi... it instantly prints the image onto Happy-Paper-pi."
Takopi was looking at the photo and Kalluto grabbed the camera.
"But why not just use a smartphone, its much heavier than it looks too."
"Pi! But, but... this camera has a special function."
"Ah, I need to get back home again, otherwise my okaasama will be mad."
"Pi! So quickly? Why would your okaasan be mad?"
"She doesn't like me out late.. or at all."
"Mata ashita."
Kalluto-kun's mother must care for him dearly which is why he calls her okaasama! Humans are really fascinating-pi
Takopi looked at the photo of him and Kalluto-kun.
I'll make him happy tomorrow for sure-pi!
"Kalluto-kun!! This is a gadget that helps you throw surprise birthday parties-pi!"
"See you"
"Pi :("
"Today's bread is really sweet!"
"mh.."
"Fact-kun! A gadget that will always be your best friend and give you wonderful advice-pi!"
Kalluto was looking up at the sky as Takopi jumped around him.
"Mh."
"Today's gadget is so awesome-pi! A ballpoint pen that looks of a rabbit from saturn!"
"Eh Takopi, I need to get home early today, mata ashita!"
"Pi! But why?"
"I need to get home for my onii-sama"
"Onii-sama?"
"uh... do you want to come along?"
It was a long walk,
"You'll have to stay behind in my garden but atleast there my okaasama won't be so mad.."
"Garden?"
"it's big you'll be fine, just don't disturb Mike"
Kalluto left Takopi in the garden for a few hours before coming back.
"Sorry, we had dinner."
Kalluto gave Takopi some food.
"Did you see your onii-san-pi?"
"Mhm.. he'll be here for a while. I have to train with him tomorrow. As long as it makes my okaasama happy. I'll do anything"
Kalluto has a blank face with a sense of distance in his eyes that Takopi didn't understand. He'd remembered the rules his mom gave him. He wasn't too worried since Kalluto-kun hadn't used any gadgets yet. They'd been strolling the garden and Takopi looked up at Kalluto-kun. He wanted to see Kalluto smile more..
"Kalluto-kun! One day I'll invite you to Planet Happy-pi! We have plenty of Happy Gadets there and-.."
"I said there isn't anything for you to do to help me."
"And I'll bring out the most amazing smile you've ever had-pi!"
Kallutos eyes softened slightly as he saw Takopis insistence.
"B-but I can't take you there now, but one day I will-pi!"
"Takopi, you're turning red"
He said it with a small chuckle and Takopi got embarrased.
"I have to go back home now.."
"Kalluto-kun?
Kalluto gave a soft smile.
"Mata ashita"
"Kalluto-kun! How are you? I have a new gadget to show you-pi! huh..? Why is your face different colors?"
"I had a fight with my onii-sama."
"Ah! So when humans fight their faces become decorated? I have the perfect gadget for you and your brother today-pi!"
"The Reconciliation Ribbon! What do you think? by tying your pinky finger with your onii-sans, youll become best friends again!"
The pink ribbon was floating around them both but Kallutos face stayed the same.
"Oh, and it's strong and can be stretched to infinity-pi."
"Thats good. I wanna use it."
He put out his hand, his kimono covered most of his scars.
"Really-pi!? Then let's go find your bro-"
"I wanna take time to use it myself. Can i borrow it?"
"Eh?"
The ruled of a Happy Gadget! It is only to be used under the supervision of a Happian. It is never to be entrusted into an alien being.
"Please.. Takopi?"
His hand stayed out.
But It was Kalluto-kun asking-pi!
"You can borrow it-pi. Come ask me if you have questions-pi!
"Okay.."
Kalluto strolled off to his house.
"I hope you can make up with your brother-pi!"
"Mhm"
Kalluto was already nearly gone.
"Bye-bye."
He went back near the rocks he'd been by
In sure Kalluto-kun will be fine, there's nothing to worry about.
The day passed slowly by Takopi.
But- I'm just a little worried-pi. The ribbon tangles easily. I'll use my Happy Gadget to stay out of sight as Kalluto-kun asks.
It took him a bit to get to Kalluto-kuns room and to find out which one it was. His house was very big and super cool! when he got in there kalluto was there hanging from the ribbon.
"Kalluto-kun? What're you doing-pi? The ribbon won't do anything if you tie it to a beam-pi..."
"Kalluto-kun?"
"Kalluto-kun?"
"Kall-"
The door opened and Takopi got scared hiding under Kalluto-kuns bed. He assumed it was his okaasama. When she walked in she looked mad but her breath caught in her throat. The chameleon plant fallen off onto the floor.
"K-KALLUTO!"
She grabbed him off the ribbon and screamed. He was dead. She cried so hard as she looked down at him. His body was cold and his eyes were empty. The ribbon only darkened the scar already around his neck. There was spit spilt from his mouth from choking. Someone who Takopi'd guessed was his brother, looked surprised and frozen. His mother was screaming at the top of her lungs holding him close. And eventually the whole house heard it. Takopi felt horrible for them. Why did Kalluto-kun do that? The act of taking ones life is called "suicide". Takopi had left without anyone noticing. He didn't understand what happened, but.. he wanted to!
He had to save Kalluto, he used the Happy Camera to go back. When the pixture is put back in th. Camera you can turn back to the time it was taken. When they popped back together he had to keep himself from crying.
"Takopi?"
"Pi?"
"Is something the matter?"
"Kalluto-kun, from here on I want to come with you when your home!"
"Eh.?"
