"Hello everybody, Mike Dixon here, today we got some shocking news for today. The newly virus known as 'Helo' has once again spiked into three-digit numbers in the last few weeks, we ask individuals on what they think about the spike in recent week." Dixion explain while cutting off to a reporter

"Hello Sir!" said a eager woman

"What you're thought on the recent events with 'Helo' and your experience on the whole situation we are facing as we speak?" she said holding her mac towards him

"Look lady are you here for something or are you trying to scare off my costumers? Well not like I have any" he said imitating

"No Sir, we just simply want to know you're experience with the virus that's we are dealing with, and to know how small businesses like you are doing and how you are holding on." she said calmly not faze by the man imitation

"Hmm well Miss as you can see." he waved his hands around his store

"Business been slow and bealy anyone comes to my store thanks to 'Helo', and last week my friend store had to close because he couldn't pay the bills, you can thank Mr. Jac-" the TV suddenly shuts off

"Ohh my, look at the time." said a slightly older woman

she then got up and started walking to the kitchen humming her favorite tone while getting ready to start making breakfast. She then started getting everything ready for cooking, once she done getting all the ingredients prepared she then started looking for her phone, "Might as well put on a podcast." she hummed while she found her phone and quickly picked one podcast and waited for to start, she started mixing the ingredients and from there she was fully in the motion of cooking and left the podcast going in the background

"And we are back lady and gentlemen." said a monotone voice coming through the speaker.

"Today we got a world renowned doctor Steven Den and his team who been working hard in the field of medicine science working on a vaccine on the newly virus called 'Helo'." he said

"Thanks for having me TenthMoon I'm sorry to say that only I can make the call, something happened in the lab today so my team is working on that problem as we speak." he said explaining why he was the only one

"That fine Mr. Den, but nonetheless. Welcome and thank you for coming on today's podcast. Now Mr. Den can I ask you some questions about you're studies on the topic of 'Helo' and the progress you made during the time you and your team boldly undertook this difficult task?" He said hoping for some answer

"Haha well I'm sorry to say, I can't give the progress out all willy nilly like that, because I don't want to get anyone's hopes up with the progress we made." he said calm and cool

"So you are saying you haven't made any progress is what you are saying?" he question

"No no I'm just saying, it's take time to take the information we gather about this virus, and whether or not we can take this information at face value or dismiss because it either pointless or a flaw in our studies." he answered

"But I thought making antibodies was easy, like taking someone who was cured and taking some of theirs blood or something?" he tried to simplify the whole problem

"Well somebody been doing their homework now. Yes when you look at it like that but I can say the 'Helo' virus isn't acting like any virus we seen at all, we tried using our medicine and cutting edge technology, but still having no affect what so ever. And being resistant to heat and cold makes spreading it's much more easier, the only saving grace is it's only skin to skin conta-" it's cut off

She stopped the podcast midway while humming to herself

"Annnnnnd done~" she said while in tone with her humming

"Hmm maybe a bit more? Nah this should be plenty enough for all the kids and father Hub." she said satisfied with the amount food cooked on the table, "Ohh my, I didn't know I blew through with all the cooking to still have sometime for myself." she said in surprise on how quickly she prepared breakfast

'huh maybe I should stop talking out loud for now, don't wanna wake the kids and make myself look like a crazy person who talk to none' she thought to herself while covering up the food, making sure the food doesn't get cold

she walked to the the family computer, making sure she doesn't make a loud sound trying to get the chair out 'huh maybe we should invest some money into a swivel chair' she think maybe that'll decrease the sounds that comes from the annoying kitchen chair screeching every time she try to put it out

Once on. She started looking through her Facebook, growing angrier when she past her classmates posts about their life, relationships, and their kids.

"Hmmm? No Jackie I won't friend you just because you picked on me back then hehehe....what I'm doing with my life now...." she said a bit disgusted, but when back through scrolling her classmates post because they're weren't anything better to do

she scrolled down far enough to see a very interesting post made by a Facebook's Karen 'hehe what does a Karen gonna complain about now' she thought while snickering

Once she opened it up they're were a long page worth of nonsense. But having nothing to do right now at the moment she gloss over it

' yatta yatta yatta broken government yatta yatta yatta Authority corrupt yatta yatta yatta companies shutting down yatta yatta yatta police brutality yatta yatta yatta a tyrant Corporation yatta yatta yatta American being targeted yatta yatta yatta more of the outbreak...hmmm but this is from a school close by.' she almost looked over a important part

'On June 11th a school was opened to the virus known as 'Helo' infected the whole school, and the heartbreaking information is that that said school was ready for graduation till one student with a verified case of having 'Helo' attention the graduation....outbreak happened later that month once the graduation was finish, people been reporting positive for 'Helo' thus some family infecting their younger family members killing over 35 kids/babies in the neighborhood and infecting a whole worth of people in that said neighborhood. Then after that outbreak peoples shutdown most of the school, but later on that said school opened up but-' she was shocked when she felt a touch on her arm

"Ahrjdndf!?!" she fell out of the chair thanks to the fear of what touch her

"Ahmm Miss. Luna are you gonna come eat/help us with the food? Everyone is up is what they said." said a small children looking down on the poor woman

"Ohh rightttt....hahaha sorry I was busy doing adult work." she said smiling at kid, "Anyway come on Daisy, let's go meet with the others." she picked up the children while moving to the kitchen

"You know I could walk there right? I'm not a child anymore!" Daisy putting a hisses fit

"ohh is someone hungry or did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" she tried to sound motherly

"Yeah that not gonna work now, after the way you reacted just by me touching you." she said looking at her all innocent like but smug about her accident

"Okay you~ someone must have been daydreaming." she said walking into a kitchen full with kids running around and the teens getting the food and helping out the kids

"Morning everyone~" she said to the people in the kitchen

"Morning Miss. Luna!" all the kids said happily

"Morning Miss. L" some of the teens said while the other when with "Lu"

"Oh my is everyone up and ready for the day?" she asked everyone

but was met was silent and small snickering, after a unbearable five minutes of silence she got upset and started looking around panicking

"W-why are you just quiet?!" she opened her eyes to see everyone cringing over her outburst, then Daisy still in her arms and smugly said

"Aww did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Or is someone a bit too hungry she had a little outburst?" she said towards her caretaker

then everyone started laughing at Miss. Luna, she pouted at first but then started to laught along with them after she stopped having a hisses fit as well. And thus the teens and Miss. Luna started helping out with the kids who couldn't get their food themselves.

"Where's father Hub?" ask one of the smaller kid

"Probably drinking away are money this month." said the kid with a emo bangs

"Christ! Enough!" shouted Miss. Luna towards

"Well it's true Miss. Lu, we all see him drunk in the afternoon every Monday or morning." one of the teen tried to back up Christ statement

"Look...we talked about this." she took a break to catch her mind "He gonna through rough times okay? The whole 'Helo' virus took something from everyone in this world, and in some cases someone you love. So please don't hold it on him, I know it unfair on your part, but bear it for awhile. I convinced him to seek help, so all we can do is pray for him." she said looking down while praying

"I- I'm sorry Miss. Luna...I know it been hard on him but come on it's been over a three months and now it's December so shouldn't he be better by now right?" he said sticking with his statement

"I-" she was cut off

There were a big smashing sound in the livingroom area, and if you can listen closely you can hear moaning that sounded like a ghost, if you had the mind of a child, but after weeks of the same routine happening again and again they all know who that was.

"Christ and Kenny can you please go help father Hub to his room?" she as politely to the two young male

"Welp here we go again...." "Ohh brighten up Chris, you're looking a bit on the boney side so maybe this I'll help out?" they moved out

once they made to the livingroom they see the father in all of his glory and holiness, a drunken man not knowing if he made it to his house or if he even left the bar to begin with. Looking at each other, they both lifted up his body with Christ getting his legs and Kenny getting the arms. Slowly but surely they made there way across the house to the father room

"ooH ThaNkS u gUuy veRy mUch." he hiccup through his sentence while having a fun time being carried

Once they made it to his door, something snapped inside of him once Kenny tried to open the door to his room and figuring out his door was locked

"Thanks you very much children, and I'm sorry if I bother you with myself." once he said that he got up from their delivery way of carrying him through the house, and fished out his key from his pocket, then looked back at the two

"Again, thanks you for your concern for my wellbeing, you can leave now." he said all calmly like he wasn't drunk while blankly look them to leave

"Ummm father Hub I'm curious about why you keep your door locked and never let anyone inside it." Kenny asked

"Something very important my dear child, I can't go into deeply but I can say this, there's nothing more I can thanks then to be in trusted with this knowledge." he smiled creepily at them scaring Kenny but Christ unfazed about the sight

"U-u-um-" "Don't worry about it father, we can see you are very busy with you're research in there, so don't mind us." Christ interrupt Kenny and then grabbing his arm and dragging him away from his door

"thank you." the two started walking away from father's door and then started walking back to the kitchen, but Kenny tried to look back trying to take a peek of father's room from the small creek the door had before father Hub close it. Till Christ snap his attention back to him

"Don't look in there and keep moving." he said looking forward without having any interest behind him

once they made it back to the kitchen everyone once again when back to enjoying their time with everyone and enjoying their breakfast at the same, till Kenny was still shocked at father's Hub reaction and facial expression when talking about his room

Kenny then moved closer to Christ "Hey, Chirs? What the deal with father Hub back there? He got really strange once we tried to take him into his room?" he said trying to fish out some answer

"Like father Hub said, he doing very important research in there and we shouldn't bother him in his studies." he said coldly looking in a different direction, "But, nothing to worry about." he tried to reassure him "Just something father Hub need to to do is all." he said getting back to his breakfast

not wanting to ruin their breakfast, Kenny then shrugged it off like it was nothing to mind and when right back to his unfinished breakfast

After a delightful breakfast with a big family, everyone started getting ready for school. Little ones when to grab their bags, while the older ones looking disappointed they needed to go to school and brave the 'Helo' virus that loom over them every time they go outside.

after everyone was ready to go, they all walked to the nearest bus station near their house and was ready to go to school, "Hey aren't we short of numbers here?" asked Daisy looking at her family while they wait for the bus

"Hmm? Are we?" Kenny looked around them

"Yeah now that you mentioned it." said Christ "All morning I felt happy over every little thing we did, not having someone ruined it by they own take of things." he said looking aloof on who he was thinking about

"Are you two morons?" Daisy spoke looking at the two of them, "Have you forgotten about Grey? The person who been living with us for two years now?!" she question them on how they forgot their other brother who been missing on the group

"Ohh yeah, Greyson....Greyson not here!?!" Kenny sounded surprised about this fact, "oh man he gonna kill me..." he started panicking on the spot while looking back at the path they came from thinking about how to make it back before the bus arrived

"Oh? why that?" question Christ looking uninterested about the topic of Grey

"Because I was supposed to wake him up this morning! And I forgot to! And you know how's Grey gets when you don't do as he said." he explained his reason why he'll be the dieded after school

"Welp can't do anything now. We're already at the bus station and it'll take 10 minute to run back to the house and come back, so it's not really worth the trouble going back." Christ looked at time and seeing as it's was getting closer to the arrival of the bus. "And besides, why should you wake him up? He have a phone for a reason you know? He should have put a alarm clock to wake him on time." he sounded like he was talking about a child and was disappointed and started rubbing the temple out of anger of his sibling lack of maturity

"A-about that....you see." Kenny looked down "I wanted to impressed this girl, so I told her I had a phone.....but tried to borrow Grey's one without his permission and.....broken it when I tripped over his messy room trying to escape his kingdom..." he said recalling his memories of that event "And so, I been making it up to him by waking him on time so he doesn't have trouble sleeping in." he was done his story and the reason why he haven't been present so far

"But I don't get it?" question Daisy "We been making so much noise in the morning and having father Hub loud entrance, how can he sleep through that?" she looking suspicious at him

"He a heavy sleeper." chirped Kenny "Once I got into his room, I wasn't that quiet. I tripped over mostly all of his stuff and he slept through all that like nothing." he recalled "Plus it's made sentence why he was cranky in the morning. Man loves his bed...some say he and that bed become one during quarantine...."

After a long talk about the mythical Grey character, the bus finally arrived. A bit late then usually, but overall made it's destination

"So...We leaving Grey?" asked Daisy to everyone

"I guess, no point in running back now that the bus is here." said Christ entering the bus

"Yeah, I guess I'll have to get his punishment after school." siding about the fact on how he gonna get it

"You know, we could have gotten him if we didn't talked about him and instead just ran to go get him right?" one of them said to the group

"Ehh? You know Amber." Daisy looking at her older sibling "I guess you're right, but it's much better then hearing his sarcastic voice and comments on everything." she said entering the bus

"Yeah." they all agree and enter the bus like nothing happens

Once on the bus, they all started looking for a seat from themselves, "Christ! Over here!" yelled Kenny, he then started waving his hands around to get his attention, "Yeah, yeah." was all he respond with.

Once they both were seated together, "So how you think Gre-" Christ couldn't finish his sentence, once people in front of them were making a rucket, "Did you see how Crispy killed Creamy last night?! In OurCraft!" said one of the 'weeb' in the front of them, "Yeah! Then pepper coming out of nowhere! I was surprised at him coming out of nowhere!?" said the another 'weeb', now matching his friend excitement.

"Do you know what's there talking about?" asked Christ to Kenny, with a sighing after a harmless question asked.

"Sadly I do..." he looked sad at this fact, "There's basically talking about Vtubers." he looked tired from mentioning 'Vtubers'.

"Vtubers..?" Christ couldn't understand the meaning behind the word, "I felt that I heard that word before?" he now looked at Kenny to answer his questions.

"We're going to be here awhile." he sighed, "Vtubers were around in 2010. So they been here for ten years already-" he was cut off, " It's called a decade actually." Christ quickly corrected him, "..So then been here for like a 'decade', and they haven't been mainstream here at all since they started, but they lived on in Japan. And in 2016 a company called Fullalive were made, they basically took to whole Vtubers thing to the next level; they made them a entertainment idol. And it's should have ended there, they were basically only meant to be in Japan, but then another company came out of nowhere in 2018 saw this as a free real estate." he stopped to take a breath, "They used the same thing as Fullalive, but they marked to the entire world, and at the start of there launched, they weren't doing too great, they were in a lot of controversy and the media lashing out on them for this new thing. And like before, it's should have ended with the company 'VLED.' going under from all the back lash it gotten, but the 'weeb' nations fought along side them till 2019, where the media stopped their back lashing on them once the 'Helo' virus came to be." he stopped once the bus stopped at a bus station. And seeing most of their family members left the bus to get to their schools.

"V-L-E-D?" asked Christ confused by there name.

"Yes, Virtual Life Entertainer Industry. 'VLED' for short." he answered.

"But industry start with a 'I' not a 'D'? Why not 'V-L-E-I'?" he shot another question to him.

"Because, 'VLED' at least sounds like something instead of something like 'V-L-E-I', plus it's still the same thing if you put the 'D' in there." he again answered

"That doesn't sound-"

"It's 'weeb' nations way of talking about that company, so they decided on the 'D' instead of the 'I' okay?"

"Hmm, I see now...Kinda." he tried to get it.

"Okay-" Kenny didn't get to finish his explanation, once the bus now was at his stop, "Sorry we'll finish this later on!" he ran out the bus.

"..."

And after everyone entered the bus and left to their schools one by one, wishing each others a good day, and leaving each others. Lastly Christ was the last one to get off the bus

'VLED...huh...' he thought remembering Kenny's explanation.

"Hmm wonder how's Grey doing." he said that while exiting the bus and making his way to his school 'Probably got up by now.' he thought that while passing some people by, 'While not my problem. But still he should have picked a school closer to the house if he gonna sleep in.' he made it to the entrance of the school and still walking 'Hehe I guess I can't think like him tho, and besides if anyone got accepted into a top school, then why not? Even if it's far away it's better then a average school education. ' he pulled the entrance door opened and started walking to his locker 'If only I was like him in education wise' and with that finally thought that occurred in his head, he shakes it off and when to class happy with choosing a slightly behaved school then a average

Going to a person who been having a mini panic attack over the time and how late it's is

And hearing the a name being yelled

"KENNYYYYYYYYY"
