บท 429: 429. Finding Josuke ~Just Finding Josuke~
"So... You want the four of us... The... JoJoGals!!!" yelled Yurielle. "To help you in your battle?"
"I can't join because the Jump Force will be there," said Shizuka.
"Me, neither," said Irene.
"Me, three," said Mercuria.
"Then who do you want to join you?" asked Yurielle.
"You. Gabrielle. Narcos. And F.F."
"What about me!?" asked Mercuria.
"You just said that you didn't wanna," said Josuke.
"Yeah! But why does it feel like I'm not included in this!?"
"Merci, all you do is duplicate things," said Gabrielle.
"Right," said Mercuria. "As if fusing things is worthless..."
"Anyways," said Josuke. "Let's start with Try-Outs tomorrow! Everyone be there at 6 PM Sharp, okay? No! Never mind! Be there at 3!!! Okay?!"
"SIR, YES SIR!!!" yelled everyone.
"Huh... Wow," said Gabrielle. "What a great leader you are, Kuya Josuke! Early and strict as he should be!"
The next day at 3 PM...
The Jazz Fusion looks around while Finn argues with a Squidward person. Sorry, that was racist. With an Evolved Octopus.
They all check the clock to see that it's 4:01 PM.
"Well, that was a fucking lie," said Gabrielle.
"I WILL NOT WEAR THAT COLLAR!!!" yelled Finn.

Josuke sat on the hospital bed, saddened and beaten.
Now...
Josuke drinks some iced coffee after they finish training.
"Hey, Josuke?" asked Erina. "Wanna go for another date...?"
"No, thank you," Josuke eats some pie.
Erina frowns.
"What...?"
"No! It's just that... I thought you wanted us to pursue each other into a relationship... And you're not doing anything about it..."
"I'm raising our daughter, aren't I?"
"Yeah... But... We aren't really... together."
"Y-... Yeah... But... No."
"Why not...?" asked Erina.
"I just don't want to."
"Then... should we keep dating...?"
"I don't know."
Erina facepalms. "Josuke... You can't just call it off like this! Respect the fact that you wanted to date me, at least! I know that I can't exactly force you, but-!"
"Well, sorry... But... Why do we have to date in the first place...? Isn't the deal that I should be there for my kid...?"
"So, should I even be living here...!?"
"Yes. Because there are multiple rogues out there ranging from serial killers in mascot golden bunny suits to fat Mukbangers and all the way to the Head and CEO of Walt Disney Studios who is also a Sith Lord."
"But you can't just... hold me captive like this like a prisoner!"
"Right..." Josuke sighs. "We should at least do this for the kid..."
"No! I want you to do this only if you're in love with me! Not because you're forced to!"
"I am in love with you! I'm just used to... people being terrible to me."
"I won't be terrible to you, Josuke! I swear!"
Josuke sets his coffee on the table. "Sorry... Right... Let's go have a date."
"No..." said Erina. "Just stay there and be alone. It's the best thing you do, anyway." Erina walks away.
Josuke felt like crying, standing up.
She walks into the corridor only for Suki to kick her shin.
"OW!!! SHIT!!!" yelled Erina.
"You're an idiot, Mom!" yelled Suki. "And no swearing in front of me!"
"What!? Were you listening!? Suki! Let the adults handle this little situation your father has!"
"Clearly, you 'adults-!!!'" she said in quotation marks. "-...aren't handling this LIKE adults!"
"Ugh! Fine!" yelled Erina. "Hey, Josuke..." Erina walks back in. "Sorry about-..."
Erina looks around only to see that Josuke left. "Where'd he go?Ugh! He left his iced coffee!Could you read his mind for me...?"
Suki closes her eyes and senses Josuke. "I can't."
"Ha...?"
Later...
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE RAN AWAY!!!?" asked Rick. "THE TRYOUTS ARE TONIGHT!!!WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY TO HIM!!!?"
"I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THERE WERE TRYOUTS TONIGHT!!!"
"That didn't-... *BURP!!!* (Answer my question!)"
"I don't know!"
"Uh..." said Suki. "Mommy told Daddy to be alone like he does best."
"I didn't say that!" yelled Erina.
"Yeah. You told him to 'just stay there and be alone. It's the best thing he does, anyway.'"
"What!? No! Did I...!? I would never say that! Ugh! Maybe I did!"
"Jesus Christ," said Rick. "You told that to a former abuse victim AND a person with special needs!?"
"He has special needs!?"
"I thought you were dating him? WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP!?"
"I DON'T KNOW!!!" sobbed Erina. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
"HEY!!!" Suki slaps her mother across the face.
"WHAT THE F-!?"
"ZIP IT, OLD LADY!!! YOU MADE MY NEW DADDY CRY!!! NOW HERE IS WHAT YOU DO!!! WE FIND THE PERSON WHO IS BEST SUITED TO FINDING, TRACKING, AND SPYING ON DADDY!!!"
Erina sighs. "That would be me... That was literally my entire childhood..."
"So...!? Where's the first place he'd go!?"
"He didn't finish his iced coffee... He'd go-..."
Erina, with Suki being carried on her back, enters...Filipino Cafe...
"This is the main coffee place the Jazz Fusion goes to..." said Erina, sighing. "He isn't here..."
Erina activates 21 Pilots as one of the Stands searches for Josuke.
She gains a radar on her wrist to search for Josuke.
"His heat signature isn't around here..." said Erina.
"Ew!" yelled Suki. "You used to stalk Dad? You're freaky, Mommy."
"N-No... Suki, sweetie... I was an agent of the Eradicator Movement because I was against your father's family's regime."
"That's funny!"
"Why...?"
"Because I'm part of that family, now! And so are you, kinda!"
"Well... Yeah... I never really belonged anywhere in the first place... My family... our other family... were killed by Josuke's family's soldiers."
"Do you... hate Daddy...?Do you... hate me...?"
"You could already read my mind to know the answer..."
"I'm too scared to do it."
"I love you... I will always love you."
"Do you love Daddy?"
Erina stares at Suki with a scared look. "I don't know... I never really knew..."
"Well... Where would Dad be...?" asked Suki.
Erina's eyes widen.
Meanwhile...
"Are you sure that you're an Omega Level, sir...?" asked the Octopus.
"OOH!!! OOH!!!" yelled the Evolved Chimps.
"Are you sure you're vaccinated?" asked the Octopus.
"Yes..." said one. "We... Are..."
"Get in..." sighed the Octopus. "Is your last member here yet...?"
"Not yet!" yelled Gabrielle. "But we promise he'll be here before night comes!"
"Hmph..." said the Octopus. "He better. Uhuh! Uhuh! Uhuh!" he laughed and walked away. "Or you'll be disqualified! So much for good publicity! Uhuh!"
"Sure!" smiled Gabrielle. As the Evolved Octopus walked away, Gabrielle clenches her jaw. "Villager-lookin' ass."
"Hey," said Yurielle. "Where the hell is the bathroom of this place!? Why do both the male and female bathrooms have urinals!? I can't tell which one is which!"
"I told you that I didn't wanna help you!" yelled Gumball, as Laserheart.
"Yeah! I didn't tell you to follow me in there, you idiot!"
"I'm a creepy absent-minded man with a disease known as stupidity! What did you expect!?God! The pepper spray still burns!Damned public bathrooms!"
Darwin sighs. "Sorry for his idiocy."
"I'm also an idiot!" smiled F.F. "Don't worry."
"So am I!" smiled Patrick. "But I'm also mentally challenged! Possibly insane!"
"I'm one of those things!" smiled Narcos.
Gabrielle pats Narcos' cheek. "Easy there, sweet cheeks. Don't go flexing your stupidity except for me."
"Where's Josuke...?" asked Spongebob.
"I don't know..." said Jake. "Should I call Erina?"
Finn is arguing with an Evolved Octopus. "For the last time! I'm not placing that thing on my neck!"
"You're detected as Beyond Omega Level because of your Stand, sir!" yelled the Evolved Octopus.
"I have a contract!"
"Which you broke! I'm not starting until you put this on your neck!" he whispers. "Because my boss will-..."
"Finn!" argued Mark. "Just wear the Goddamned collar!"
"NEVER!!!" yelled Finn.
An Evolved Crab walks out of his office. "Mr. Squimsley!? Are all the participants ready to go!?" he yelled in a deep pirate's accent.
"M-Mr. Klaws! No, sir! They will be!" smiled Squimsley, sweating with nervousness.
The door slams.
"WEAR THE COLLAR!!!"
"NO!!!"
"We have some time..." said Darwin.
Meanwhile...
Erina and Suki are in the abandoned cinema.
"What is this place?" asked Suki.
"This was the place of our first date..." said Erina.
"I can sense conflict in what you said..."
"Nonsense, Suki. I'm positive he's here."
Later...
"He's not here..." said Erina, as one of her plane-Stands returns. She sighs. "I don't understand! This was the place where we dated for the first time! Ugh!"
*beep! beep!*
"Yo, Erina! How's it goin'! Feelin' algebraic?"
"No... I don't feel... very algebra..." sighed Erina. "Josuke isn't anywhere in the city."
"Ah, well... Gabrielle isn't going to be happy about this..."
"She's younger than me."
"Mommy, I'm more mature than you, and I'm the one who's mature here..."
"Oh, SNAP!!!" smiled Jake.
"FIST BUMP!!!" yelled the pair.
Erina facepalms. "Wait... Say that again."
"Oh, snap?"
"No... the other one..."
"Fist bump...?" asked Suki.
Erina smiles...
After a short second...
Josuke sat in the bumper car to think and get away from everything.
Josuke is wearing a helmet similar to Magneto's helmet.
"Hey," said Erina.
Suki is asleep in her arms.
"You seriously brought Suki?"
"A tracker needs a radar."
"You never changed, huh?"
"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry..."
"So am I. But that's not what you do best, right?"
"Josuke... Please... I just wanted to hang out with you and you acted coldly to me... *sighs...* Which... I should've gotten the hint that you weren't ready yet."
Josuke nods. "How'd you find I was here?"
"This is where we had our first date, right?"
"Yeah..." said Josuke. "Clever girl."
Erina sits next to Josuke, and they stay quiet.
"Jesus, we're awkward," said Erina.
"Well... We've done... fricked up things before. I didn't stop telling you that I hated you. And... you made me hate you... You even turned our child... Into...A Chimera..."
"Yeah... Sorry. I truly am... sorry...But... we have to communicate.Do you understand? And I promise to communicate to you more."
"Why'd you betray me...?"
"I thought you already knew. Your family killed mine."
Josuke shakes his head. "Even after we were together... You... used me... Why?"
"Because I was alone. I always thought that... it's every woman for herself, y'know? And I hated everyone around me, Josuke...When I was a kid... I was the type who'd sit at the lunch table all alone...I was cast away because I gave people weird vibes... I was just that type of lady.People would ignore me because I was a Grimm. They didn't want to acknowledge the fact that I had a tragic life... Because that'd pester them.But then... You started saying things that really... resonated with me. I felt that we are the same, essentially. And you gave me what essentially was a friendship...But I was under Eradicator's light... He gave me a home. He thought that I was... like him. Guess I just found a family in the wrong person...And I'm sorry... You're a really, really great guy... And I really, really want to date you again. "
"Yeah... And I'm... sorry, too. It's not fair to just keep you like that and think everything's okay. I was... angry... I lost my Stand recently. I got stressed with the kid and the tournament. I recently don't feel like... myself.Not literally!Just... I wish that I have Prince back. Even though it was the reason why I was alone... Like something's... missing...That's why I snapped at you, earlier... And that wasn't fair."
"Let me make things up to you."
"By dating me...?"
"No..."
All twenty-one planes of hers return to her.
"What did... you do...?" asked Josuke.
"This is the first step to my billion-step apology..." smiled Erina. "We never had fun on that bumper car ride, did we?"
Josuke sighs and smiles. "This'll be a long, long, long road for us both."
"I know... How exciting!" smiled Erina.
Later...
The Jazz Fusion looks around nervously.
"What about Josuke!?" asked Gabrielle. "We're fucking dead if he isn't here in literally a minute!"
It's 5:59 PM.
*SLAM!!!*
"HERE!!!" yelled Josuke, as he walks in. "Hey!"
"WE'RE ALL HERE!!!" smiled Gabrielle.
"YAY!!!" smiled the Jazz Fusion.
"Please enter... Jazz Fusion and Friends..." said the Evolved Octopus.
Gabrielle sighs in relief.
Yurielle sniffs the air. "Ah... That explains it."
"What?" asked Gabrielle.
"Josuke's releasing... pheromones..." said Yurielle.
Gabrielle stares at Yurielle, scarred.
Yurielle pats her cousin on the head. "There, there... Scary thoughts of Dad's variant doing it AWAY!!! Scary thoughts of Dad's variant doing it AWAY!!!"
Extra...
Suki stares at Erina in horror while both are eating dinner.
"What...?" asked Erina.
"You and Dad are gross," said Suki, as she finishes her food and left. "I read your mind and saw the things you did there on that bumper ride... while I was there. Anyway, I'd like bacon and eggs tomorrow. No salt, please."
"You can't talk to me that way! AND STOP READING PEOPLE'S MINDS WITHOUT PERMISSION!!!"
"Uh-huh... Without my fist bump with Uncle Jake-...!You wouldn't be here..." she hissed.
"Bacon and eggs. On it."
"You're so easy to manipulate, Mommy."
"You're an evil child."
"I'm cute that way."
Erina sees three of the Ghost Guppies. "C'mon, girls..."
"Yes, Madame," said the trio, following after Erina.
Erina facepalms. "Just like I was..." she sighed, smiling.
Extra 2...
F.F. is sucking her toe.
"So, you're plankton, right?" asked Patrick.
"Yeah. Freshwater," smiled F.F.
"Ah... A country girl!" smiled Spongebob. "What are your thoughts on Krusty Krabs in Freshwater Ponds?"
"That's gentrification," said F.F.
"Oof," said Patrick. Patrick pats Spongebob's back. "Told you, buddy."
"Patrick... What's gentrification?"
"It's when your intestines and stomach are inflamed!"
"Patrick, that's gastroenteritis."
