>A couple of hours later, you are the most aceptable NPC around
>You bathed, shaved, and found proper clothes that fit: a shirt with jeans and a pair of sneakers
>You drive to Twilight's home, and hope Shining isn't there
>Or at least, he left the anger behind
>You pull up in front, and knock at the door. A "coming" sound comes from inside
>Moments later, Twilight's mom opens the door
>"Yes?"
"Good afternoon ma'am. I am Anonymous, a friend of Twilight. Is she at home?"
>"Sure, come in"
>She lets you in
>"Why don't you take a seat? I'll go get her"
"Thanks"
>You sit on a sofa, and see Twily mom go upstairs
>A few moments later, she comes down
>"She is at her room, and she told me you are welcome to see her. Just knock before enter, she must be investigating something"
"Perfect. Which door?"
>"Is easy: is the one at the end of the corridor, to the left"
"Got it. Thanks"
>You go upstairs, turn left, and go to the door at the end
*knock-knock* "Twilight? Is me, Anonymous. We need to talk"
>The door only unlocks, and a "come in" comes from inside
>Well, this is it

>You go inside her room. Is barely lit
"Twilight, are you there?"
>For some reason, now there isn't any answer. But there is a funny smell
>You check the door's surroundings, looking for a light switch
>You found one with ease, and flip it
>The room was bizarre: there is tomato and mayonaise sauce everywhere, a mute video where a girl is getting gangbanged is playing on her laptop, and Spike is humping an onnahole
>All this happens as Twilight is under dildos and burguers
"What the-?!"
>"Anon..."
"...!"
>"Join me..."
"I see you are busy. I'll check on you later"
>You leave Twilight's room shocked, and go downstairs. What the fuck was that?!
>"What are you doing here?"
"Uh?"
>Is Shining Armor!
"Ehh, Hi man"
>"I repeat: What are YOU doing HERE?"
"Oh, well... I was visiting your sister. She told me she could help me be my old self"
>"Why would she do that?"
"Long story. But she is busy, so I'll check on her after some time. See you around"
>"Now hold on a second: how did you get in my house in the first place?"
"Your mom: I just told her I was Twilight's friend, and we know she has a very social life"
>"Dang it. I must talk with mom about that. Now: what is she doing?"
"I don't know how to say this, so I will just say it: she is in the middle of her room, watching porn and surrounded by burguers"
>Shining facepalms
>"She always does that when she is really tense. It may last hours"
>Oh wow, so that happened before?
"Well, since I am going to wait for a while, how about we speak for a bit?"
>"You look different"
"Trust me, I AM different. And I will start by apologizing for what happened a month ago: I shouldn't have acted like a jerk, made your sister cry, and generally ruining the day for everyone"
>"Well, apology accepted, but don't think it will happen twice"
"Trust me, I know. So, how you been?"
>"Fine. Cadance can work with ease the principal job"
"Good, good"
>"And what about you? Everything is fine?"
"Yeah, something like that"

>Shining's phone rings, and he answers quickly
>"Hello?... There isn't a way you can come up?... Ok, I'll see if I can get someone to join us. Take care, ok?"
"Hey, what happened?"
>"Mac ringing up. Is harvest season so is kind of hard to him to hang out with me an Flash"
"What were you guys supposed to do today?"
>"Well, we-"
>He looks at you for a moment, and an idea comes to him
>"You said you changed? Let's test that. I'm giving you another chance to hang with us, how about it?"
"Well, your sis will take her time and I got nothing to do. I'm in"
>"No going back now"
"Whatever it is, I can take it"
----
>30 minutes later
Crowd: "Sing! Sing! Sing!"
>You are in a karaoke. It turns out Shining Armor not only is a Brad, he is a huge weaboo. And Flash told him that the karaoke added songs from the game "Yakuza" into the playlist
>Your "test" is to sing one of the songs in front of everyone
>You can't decide. The fuckers added the songs in japanese, not english!
>The crowd doesn't make it easy neither. They are getting more loud
[Oh, fuck you guys. I should've stayed clear from both of you]
>"You are giving the first steps. Don't turn back now"
>You are in a bit of a trance. Did you just heard Chad?
>"Kid, the public is waiting. You sing even in the shower; pick a song and show them how it's done"
>More confident from that, you look at the playlist
"This one should be good"
>https://youtu.be/ueTZfpV3ZxY [Yakuza 0 OST - Judgement]
>The song roars from the speakers
>You are shaking a bit, but you feel you can do this!
>The lyrics are flashing on the screen. You put the mic close to your mouth, take a deep breath, and start singing

"Reeru kara hazureta..."
>The crowd is cheering
"... Furyouhin no norainu sa..."
>You see Flash and Shining clap
"...Da kedo kantan ni wa... teeru wa furanai ze"
>As the song keeps going, you feel something in your body changing
"YES man ni, narisobireta..."
>As the backup singers sound, the public stops cheering, but they keep looking amazed
"Waru ni nokosareta, no! to iu na no..."
>You feel it, Your Chad is back
"... JUSTICE!"

>A few moments later
"Wow, Breakin’ the law!"
F: "Breakin’ the world!"
SA: "Kowase!"
>The guys came up to stage after the first chorus, and you have been singing together ever since
All three: "Kirisake, Tenderness!"
"Wow, Breakin’ the rules!"
"Roppouzensho ja shibarenai"
F and SA: "hanran bunshi sa!"
"Furiagero nigirikobushi wo oretachi wa"
F and SA: "Sou sa oretachi ga!"
All three: "JUDGEMENT!"
>You three strike a pose before finishing the song
"JUDGEMENT"
>The song ends, and the people goes crazy
>But for some reason, your Chadness fades away after all this
SA: "Wow anon! That was amazing!"
F: "Where did you learn to sing like that?"
"Ehh, I used to do that back then"
>You lie. The only thing you ever made with other Chads was repetitive hand pumps on clubs
"Well, who's next?"
S: Me! Me!
>Shining picks a song: https://youtu.be/zMKGEyAmhkg [Yakuza 0 OST - 24 Hours Cinderella]
F: I guess I go next
>Flash picks another one: https://youtu.be/PTrbRMr3Bzk [Yakuza Kiwami 2 OST - Is alright if you are happy]

>The afternoon passes with song after song after song
>When everybody got enough, it was decided to visit Big M
>Hey, cool nicks. Maybe you are coming back
>Shining parks in front of Sweet Apple Acres. You can smell all the sweet apples ready to collect
>In the garden, the red humble giant is picking the latest harvest
SA: "Hey Big Mac, everything alright?"
BM: "Eeyup"
F: "No problems with anything?"
BM: "Nope"
SA: "Great. Hey, let me present you anon. Remember him?"
BM: "Mo' less"
>He climbs down from the tree. He is more muscular up close. A bit intimidating to be honest
"Heeey, buddy"
>Oh, come on. You were cool in the club, you can't be scared now
>He gives you his hand, so you take it. He then gives a strong, firm shake
BM: "Fancy meetin' ya"
>The hard shake really hurt
"Ugh. Likewise"
SA: "Say, are you close to finish?"
BM: "Nope"
F: "Oh man, I really missed you in the crusade"
>"Crusade"? Must be the board game
>Suddenly, an idea pops up
"Hey, and how about we help Big Mac with the apples? I bet we can finish today"
SA: "Hey, that is a good idea"
F: "No problems big fella?"
BM: "Nope"
"Great. Let's get started!"

>Everybody is picking apples right now. The boxes had been pilling up nicely
>Quite quickly, you might add. Looks like for some reason Big Mac was doing this alone
"Hey Mac, doesn't your sister helps you with this type of stuff?"
>"She meets the dealers. Fancy's quite picky with providers"
"Huh, that's weird. I though you two had a proper business relationship, seeing your apples in all his stores"
>"Well, once a month he checks. AJ takes care of him"
>Yeah,"takes care". If what you heard is true, he's getting an "apple" once a month
>After a while, everyone carry the boxes to the main shack. Only 6 were left
"Don't worry. I'll get them"
F: "Are you sure you don't need a hand dude?"
"Nah. Is just like 270 pounds. I used to carry that with one hand"
>You take all 6, but your lack of exercise has made you more weaker than you though
"Hpfft!"
>You try to put more strenght from wherever you can find, and slowly rise the boxes
F: "Come on anon, you can do it!"
SA: "Yeah! Lift those boxes!"
BM: "EYUUUPPP!!!"
>Again, the Chad sensation overcomes you. You know what you must do!
"You... Can't... Beat... My... GAINS!!!"
>Before you notice, you launch the cargo and catch it with one arm, not a single apple fallen
>The guys just muted. They saw you carry 6 boxes of Sweet Apple Acres apples and leave them perfectly piled up on the truck
"Now that was a good workout. Need anything else Mac?"
BM: "... Nope"
"Cool. Oh, hey Shining! You think your sister is "presentable" now?"
SA: "Ummm... Yeah, I think she is"
"Nice. Come on guys, let's go home"
>Everybody waves goodbye, and Shining takes you to his place
>Twilight won't believe this

>"... And I turned stronger for a moment. I carried all 6 boxes! I'm coming back Twilight!"
>"Uh-hu, yeah"
>Twilight is no longer on the floor, watching porn and self indulging herself
>But she didn't relax at all. Chad scolded her really badly because she masturbated in decadence
"Say, Twilight, why did you do that... "Thing" when I came here? I just can't imagine why you ended up that way"
>"I can. You see, after I returned home yesterday, I couldn't find out any catalyst to your Chad cells"
>She brings out a complex chart and anotations
>"Music, some microwave radiation, some "essence", but nothing happened"
>She stores back the plans
"And now I just had my Chadness back for a moment out of nowhere? But I just sang karaoke and carried a few boxes"
>"I know. I couldn't find out why did you Chad up out from those things"
"Well, I still got time. How about I'm your volunteer for today? Maybe two minds will help find out the secret"
>Twilight smiles and gives you a lab coat
>"Come assistant, we have to investigate! To the lab!"
>You expected some secret door or hidden passage to go to the lab
>But no, it turns out it was just an outhouse in the yard
"Alright. What are the tests?"
>"I suppose we are going to start with physical activity. That way, I can collect some sweat and get more precise data"
"Ok. Let's begin the tests"

>The physical test was a bit hard on the body, but you managed to push through
>Twilight got all the sweat she needed, and started to separate it in different tubes
>Sadly, no Chad out
>The next series of tests were repetitions of your last events
>You sang a few songs, lifted some heavy boxes: nothing
>"I don't get it. We basically did what you did to Chad out, but there's no reaction"
"Don't worry Twilight. We are going to find the last element eventually. Can I come tomorrow so we keep going?"
>"Sure. Just let me record these last events"
>You have to admit: even if she didn't got what he wanted, she looks like she has high hopes now
"You really like this investigation, science stuff, don'cha Twi?"
>"Well, after changing so drastically, I've been more curious about DNA changes. Who knows what will happen if you go back to being a Chad"
"Whatever it happens, I bet it will be incredible"
>"Maybe. *blip* There, go take a shower in the decontamination room. I'm going to stay here for a bit"
"Hey Twilight"
>"Yes?"
"Thanks for helping me out. You didn't had to"
>"Like I said: you changed me for the better. It's the least I can do"
>You take a small shower in the detox room, leave the lab, and thank everyone in Twilight's place for the hospitality
>You return home, more relaxed and positive than usual
>You grab the papers, and check the job opportunity section. Looks like they need a mechanic half-time
>You circle the ad. You can check it out after going to Twilight's
>After finishing your housework, you change your clothes into your pjs, and go to bed
>For the first time after so long, you sleep with the feeling of fulfillment
