Legend: (Y/N) - Your Name (L/N) - Last Name (E/C) - Eye Color (F/C) - Favorite Color (FN/I) - First Name Initial ??? - [REDACTED]

===========================

(Author's POV)

Panty: A ghost that's trying to hit up men? You don't see that everyday. That face looks like it's been through hell and back.

Stocking: Right? She kinda acts like you when you're finding a guy, except you're actually more prettier.

Panty: I'll... Take that as a compliment.

Stocking: What do you think (Y/N)? Should we go and- Huh?

When she looked by her side, she saw that you weren't next to her. Panty looked over to her side to see that you weren't there either. In fact, you weren't even on top of the building at all!

(Y/N): Hello, my lovely lady~

W-Wait what?

You were apparently hitting up the lady ghost that was failing to get a date! Bystanders were in utter shock, disgust, and stood in total awe. The binoculars that the Anarchy sisters were using just shattered.

Stocking and Panty: WHAT THE FUCK?!

Okay uhh... This is a big turn of events right now. I was indeed not expecting this to happen. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

(Y/N)'s Thoughts: Holy SHIT she stinks.

Tatsumatsu: Dude. What the actual hell are you doing?

(Y/N)'s Thoughts: Just trust me on this one. I just wanna test something.

Tatsumatsu: Well would you mind filling me in on this? Even Author-Kun seems pretty confused on what's happening.

Yeah... I am.

(Y/N)'s Thoughts: It's a personal thing. I'll tell you both later, right now I just need to talk to her.

And so you did. You introduced yourself to the ghost and figured out her name was Penelope Fagry.

She was very shy and had a soft voice around others, but was really desperate to find someone to like her. She even offered her slightly hideous body to the men, which caused them to throw up.

But you politely declined her body, and just said she was perfect just the way she is. Despite her God-awful stench, she was really happy that at least SOMEONE was interested in her. You both talked for a bit and laughed.

But someone was NOT pleased in the slightest.

Panty: Jesus, what the hell has gotten in you? It looks like you're about to go on a fucking murder spree.

Stocking: ...

Panty: Stocking? Helloooooo? Is the fatty goth girl in there?

Stocking: ...

But she didn't respond. She just kept glaring at Penelope with a glare so icy sharp that it could put Mitsuru's to shame. Stocking wasn't too pleased that you just suddenly taken a liking to this ghost. Panty was slightly surprised that none of her insults for Stocking are even reaching to her. She just kept ignoring her and kept her gaze at the two of you.

(scene break)

Stocking: You're going to WHAT?!

(Y/N): I'm going on a date, duh. I mean if it wasn't obvious of what I'm trying to do right now.

(DING!)

(Y/N): Ah! Cookies are ready!

Yep. Like the madlad he is, our protagonist is going on a date with Penelope. You asked her yesterday if she was willing to go on a date with you, and she happily accepted the invitation. Stocking was burning up with rage in her eyes, fueling the fire that was deep inside of her.

Despite all of that though, she can slowly feel her heart crack little by little. Seeing you with a joyful smile and caring eyes for someone else. She knows you were serious with this whole "dating" thing.

Stocking: (Y/N), this is a ghost we're talking about. A GHOST!

(Y/N): Don't worry Stocking. She's a friendly ghost, so she's not gonna attack me. You don't have to worry about me getting hurt.

Stocking: It's not that! It's just that I... I-I...

But she knew she couldn't say it. Her heart swells up in her chest. It hurted so much that the words couldn't form in her mouth

(Y/N): You... What?

Stocking: I... (groans) I don't know! It's just wrong that a human is dating a ghost! It's just super wrong!

(Y/N): Hey, there's a first time for everything. Now if you excuse me, I gotta head over to the park before these get cold.

You wrapped up the box that had cookies inside and walked out the door with a gentle smile on your face. Stocking's expression could only be described as sorrowful and despair.

At the park, Penelope was sitting down on a park bench, which a slightly anxious expression. She was wondering if this was just all a prank like how she used to live as a human. She even used a perfume to make herself smell less putrid than normal.

(Y/N): Heyo!

Her eyes widen in shock to hear your voice approaching her. She kept her composure and smiled the best she can.

Penelope: (blushes slightly) H-H-Hello!

(Y/N): Sorry, did I kept you waiting here?

Penelope: Not a-at all! I was j-just here a few minutes ago...

(Y/N): Ah, that's good. In any case, (reaches into Tatsumatsu's pocket) these are are for you.

Penelope: O-Oh goodness...! Umm... I r-really don't deserve these.

(Y/N): Shush. You have every right to take it. You're very special after all.

Penelope: T-Thank you. Sorry, nobody really tells me this kind of stuff before...

(Y/N): It's no problem. Shall we get going now?

Penelope: A-Alright... Where shall we go first?

Ever since that day, for the next couple of days or so, you went out with Penelope. Despite her being a horrible looking ghost on the outside, she was really sweet on the inside. You both had a good time going around town to do stuff many couples will do. Go to the movies, est at restaurants, going shopping, you know the gist.

Many people were shocked, disgusted, or thought you were crazy that you were going out with HER of all people. But if they ever said anything about Penelope, you always defended her and protected her. Opposites attract, but it was almost like you two were meant for each other.

But then again, you had no actual plans to be with Penelope. You have someone else in mind.

Stocking on the other hand was just frustrated just seeing you being all smiles and rainbows after a date with Penelope. That should be HER doing all of those things with (Y/N).

But in the process, she's losing hope that she was going to lose the one she loves to a ghost of all people.

One specific day though, you and Penelope were talking among yourselves in an empty park. Penelope was slightly depressed about something, so it was up to you to comfort her.

Penelope: My brother was right... "You would never get a fucking boyfriend", he said. "You're too damn stupid and ugly to stay in a relationship", he told me.

(Y/N): Sounds like damn fuckwad of a brother.

Penelope: (sighs) What's the point though? Patrick was right, I would never get a boyfriend... I would never even fall in love...

You can see tears welling up in her eyes as she continues to speak.

Penelope: Patrick was a smelly, foul mouthed asshole when he was a human, so why did he get so many girlfriends?! (hic) I know I'm not as beautiful, outgoing, or any of that stuff men go for... But I know I could treat someone properly!

(Y/N): Shhh... (wipes away her tears) I'm sorry that happened to you. I know this would could be harsh and cruel, but I know you could find someone.

Penelope: (sniff) Sorry... I just wish I was beautiful so people would notice me...

(Y/N): You don't always need looks for people to like you.

Penelope: Huh?

(Y/N): It's always what inside that counts. Sure, you can be the most beautiful girl in the world, but you can also have the most nastiest personality that anyone wouldn't ask for. Maybe the reason your brother got so many girlfriends is because that they kept breaking up with him.

You stared right into Penelope's eyes with a giant smile on your face.

(Y/N): You're an amazing girl to be with, Penelope. So those guys who ever rejected you before are all blind fools.

Penelope: Y-You... (chuckles) You really don't mean that, do you?

(Y/N): Would I be joking if I did this?

Penelope let out a small gasp when you gently wrapped your arms around her. She can feel her body warm up in comfort, her heart beating rapidly, and her face turning red instantly. She never felt this sensation before in her entire life.

Penelope: (Y-Y/N)...

(Y/N): I have something to confess too.

You backed up and looked at her slightly red face.

(Y/N): I'm actually friends with angels.

Penelope: A-Angels?!

(Y/N): Yeah. You know, the ones who are supposed to execute ghosts?

Penelope: P-Please don't tell me you're going to kill me!

(Y/N): (chuckles while shaking your head) Of course I'm not. I didn't became friends with you for nothing, you know. If my angel friends want to kill you, they gotta get through ME first.

Penelope: I... I-I don't know what to say... (Y/N), I-I-

(Y/N): Shhh... How about you save that until later? You can actually tell me tonight if you want to.

Penelope: Really?

(Y/N): Yeah. Besides this isn't the right time to do so. How about we meet here at nine?

Penelope: O-Of course! (ahem) I mean... Sure, if you want to.

(Y/N): Alright. I better get ready then. I'll see you later okay?

You then departed at separate directions. However, a long figure standing behind a tree was listening to your conversation.

???: Nine o'clock huh? (grins sinisterly) So all I have to do is get here before him.

(timeskip brought to you by a chibi Stocking pouting jealously over chibi (Y/N) and Penelope)

The night falls, and the the city lights brighten up the scenery. Penelope decided to arrive a little early to the park in a combination of her anxiousness, excitement, and nervousness. She puts her hands in her pants pockets while the cold wind blew into her face.

Penelope: (sighs) He's such a great guy. So sweet, so kind, very adventurous. No doubt that any girl will fall for him. I just hope he would accept me. M-Maybe we should go eat somewhere first. I was so nervous that I didn't even eat. I couldn't stop thinking about him all day that I missed lunch.

???: Oh you don't have to worry about THAT.

Penelope: H-Huh? Who goes ther- Ahh!

She became terrified out of her mind when she sees a light blue sword to her neck. The dark silhouette brightened up to reveal Stocking in a black winter jacket with her Stripe.

Stocking: You're hungry huh? Well I have something you can chew on!

Penelope: W-Who are you?! Please don't kill me!

Stocking: The name's Stocking. One of (Y/N)'s "Angel Friends".

Penelope: You know (Y/N)... W-Wait, you're an angel?!

Stocking: That's right, and I'm the angel who's gonna send you to your grave!

Penelope: W-Wait, please! Why do you want to kill me?! I didn't anything wrong!

Stocking: Aside of stealing (Y/N) from me?

Penelope: Stealing? What are you talking abou- Wait... Do you li-

Stocking: Argh! It doesn't matter anymore!

She pulled her sword back and got ready to strike.

Stocking: REPENT, MOTHERFUCKER!

(CLASH!)

Stocking's eyes widen to see a shiny (F/C) shield blocking her sword. Her gaze was met with your slightly disapproval expression. She quickly jumped back to see Penelope cowering behind you.

(Y/N): You alright?

Penelope: M-Mhm...

(Y/N): Good. (looks over at Stocking) Stocking, the hell has gotten into you?

Stocking: You need to wake up (Y/N). There are many girls that you can go for.

(Y/N): Why are you doing this, Stocking?

Stocking: Because dating a ghost is wrong!

(Y/N): You never told Panty who she should date, so why only me?!

Stocking: Why can't you just listen to me?!

(Y/N): WHY THE HELL DO YOU CARE SO MUCH?!

Stocking: BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, DUMBASS!

She quickly realized what she said and covered her mouth in a panic. You were slightly shocked to say the least, since you did kinda expect Stocking having some sort of feelings for you. You never expected she was gonna confess here and there though.

Penelope just smiled. Taking a small breath, she pulls out a small red box and presents it to you.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMwymS9OlFM

Penelope: I know this isn't the best time, but here, I want you to have this.

Our hero looks over to Stocking, who was blushing super hard, before looking back at Penelope. You deactivated your shield before opening the box.

It revealed to be a shiny gold bracelet with a big red (FN/I) in the middle. It looked pretty expensive, so you accepted the gift and gently took the box by your hands before looking at the bracelet in it's total beauty.

(Y/N): Penelope... This looks amazing.

Penelope: This was supposed to be my confession gift, but...

She looks over at Stocking with a soft smile before continuing.

Penelope: I realized that I'm not the only one with feelings for you. Instead, this is my thank you gift. You really opened my eyes for being my temporary lover, (Y/N). Even if it was for a short time, I really enjoyed everything we did together.

Her body started glowing, and she began to slowly ascend upwards.

Penelope: Going to new places, hanging around new sights, or just us talking. It was super fun. It also made me realized I was in love with you. Even if we weren't officially together, you finally made me feel what true love feels like.

(Y/N): Penelope...

Penelope: Thank you... (Y/N)...

In a flash of light, Penelope disappeared into the dark starry sky. You smiled while staring at the beautiful bracelet Penelope gave you.

???: A ghost that was born from the lingering regrets of women who had never tasted the bittersweetness of love.

You and Stocking turned around to see Garterbelt and Panty approaching you two. He picked up two Heaven coins from the ground and stared at them.

Garterbelt: Fated to leave the world upon falling in love.

(Y/N): And she did. Even if it was for a short time, she finally found love.

Stocking: Wait... You knew this would happen?!

(Y/N): Of course I did, and it was thanks to this guy right here. (points thumb towards Garterbelt)

Panty: When did he ever told you that?

(Y/N): Well...

FLASHBACK - Almost a Week Ago

You just returned from greeting and hanging out with Penelope. The angels were already fast asleep, but Garterbelt was just looking through the fridge for something to drink.

(Y/N): Yo, Garter.

Garterbelt: Hmm? Oh you're back. We finished dinner a few hours ago, so I hope you ate already.

(Y/N): Don't worry, I ate already. But hey listen. I need to ask you about something.

Garterbelt: What?

(Y/N): You seem to know alot about ghosts, so who's exactly "Penelope Fagry"?

Garterbelt: Is that the ghost that Stocking was rambling about? She sounded pretty annoyed when she was rambling about it to Panty.

(Y/N): She was? But yeah, that's her.

Garterbelt: Let's see...

He puts a finger on his chin before thinking it over. After a minute, he explained that she was the ghost that never fell in love and blah blah blah. You know this shit already.

(Y/N): I see... I have a favor to ask you.

Garterbelt: Yes?

(Y/N): I'm going to date this ghost so that she could be sent off to heaven. I had a friend that used to be treated like that before she committed suicide due to depression.

Garterbelt: I understand, but what do you want me to do?

(Y/N): Don't tell Stocking nor Panty why I'm dating her. I also want to test a theory out that has to deal with Stocking.

Which was basically to see if Stocking actually had any real feelings for you.

Garterbelt: Alright. I'll see what I can do.

(Y/N): Thanks Garter.

FLASHBACK END - Present Day

Stocking: So... Your friend committed suicide because of the way she wasn't being loved?

(Y/N): She was a good friend of mine. I knew her for a long time, so it deeply hurted me to hear that she was gone.

Stocking: So the reason you dated Penelope was because-

(Y/N): No one should be treated like some sort of shit on the ground. Plus just killing a ghost like her was just wrong. Sorry if I didn't tell you before, I just wanted to handle this myself.

Stocking: No... I should be the one apologising. I went batshit crazy and almost sliced her head off from my own hatred.

You walked over to Stocking and gently placed your hand on her shoulder. Her pearly blue eyes glistening in the moonlight just staring back st your shiny (E/C) ones. Her cheeks glowed dark pink at how close you two are.

(Y/N): I'm pretty sure you have something to tell me?

Stocking: I-I... Umm...

(Y/N): Come on... Say it.

Stocking: (pouts) You're such an asshole, you know.

(Y/N): (chuckles, and rolls eyes) Just go on with it already.

Stocking: I... Love yo- Mmph!

Stocking was abruptly interrupted when your lips crashed onto hers. She quickly kissed back gently with her cheeks growing more redder than before. Garter almost had no expression, but you can barely see a small smirk he has on his face. Panty scoffed and rolled her eyes for such a mushy scene.

You both eventually broke the kiss and gazed into each others eyes under the bright moonlight. Snowflakes start to fall and the temperature begins to slightly drop.

(Y/N): Wanna grab some coffee?

Stocking: ...Mhm. Sharing some warm sweets with you sounds nice.

(Y/N): Heh, knowing you, I bet you just want to eat all of the pastries in the counter. (laughs)

Stocking: (giggles) You're such a dork.

The two of you started walking away from the park, leaving Panty and Garterbelt to return home.

(stop music)

(scene break brought to you by-

Tatsumatsu: WAIT A SECOND! We still need to clear up something really quick.

(Y/N): The hell?

Tatsumatsu: Apparently a few readers were a bit confused that you "broke up" with Ryuko from the last book for Stocking.

(Y/N): Oh, that? Psh, nah. Think of it as a massive... Harem? No harem is a bit of a strong word. Many people don't like that word.

How about... Polygamy?

(Y/N): I guess that works. So basically readers, I didn't actually BREAK UP with Ryuko. I just... Umm... Look as long as it's not another girl in her universe, it doesn't count as cheating, okay?! She's just a part of my Polygamy!

Tatsumatsu: I'm pretty sure that's just-

(Y/N): In ANYCASE, let's just continue to the next scene!

Tatsumatsu: This shit is gonna bite you in the ass later on, you know that right?

(Y/N): Probably.

So yeah... That just happened. Hope that clears everything up for you guys.)

So almost a month has passed since the little incident. Nothing really interesting has been going on.

There was the time where the Deamon sisters shrunk the angels to the size of miniature action figures, but let's not talk about that. Let's just say it involves legitimate vore, male birth, and Garterbelt fingering. Like, not even kidding.

In anycase, there was also the time when the trio found Garterbelt's diary and learning about his "Beginning of Time" punishment. And one day they ordered too much food that all of their stomachs bloated to balloons.

As for you and Stocking, you two have been going out whenever Garterbelt wasn't bitching about ghosts running around destroying shit. Recently you both just went to the beach by yourselves, and got yourself s many tubs of ice cream from that one place from an earlier chapter.

???: Jeez, you could be impatient sometimes. You need to take a damn chill pill every now and then old man.

Oh... Right. They're here. Where are we again? Oh right, we're at the-

Mayor's Office

???: Ah Author-Kun. Glad you can finally make an acquaintance to us.

Right. So if you remember around four chapters ago, this mysterious character silhouette entered the fray.

???: Oh cut the crap and just get to the damn chase. I'm pretty sure the readers already know who I am by now. Some already guessed correctly in the comments of that chapter anyways.

Mayor: Who the hell are you talking to?

???: None of your business. As I was saying, I think it's about time I cause some havoc around here. I'm getting REALLY fucking bored right now, and I wanna blow up some shit.

Mayor: Ah, I see. So you're planning to cause some destruction around the city, and as a result, lure the angels and the boy out and kill them!

???: I mean... I guess? I wasn't actually planning on it, but if (Y/N) comes around, then I will have no objections to try and fight him.

Mayor: Very well then. I shall observe from a distance. I'm pretty sure they'll come once you start doing some collateral damage.

???: Hah. I know he'll come. He's always itching for a fight. And you better not say SHIT Author-Kun!

(scene break)

I'm kinda scared of that dude too. He can pretty much do anything at this point.

The camera cuts back to you, who was cuddling with Stocking on the couch while watching some random movie. As for Panty, she was nowhere to be seen. Very convenient huh?

The movie was just... Meh. You were actually more focused on Stocking's warmth more than anything.

(KABOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!)

Well... Until that happened.

You slightly jumped to hear a sudden explosion from quite a distance away from here.

(Y/N): The hell was that?

Stocking: (shrugs) Don't know, don't care.

(Y/N): I hope they ain't starting World War Three again.

Tatsumatsu: AGAIN?! The hell happened last time?!

(Y/N): You don't wanna know.

Garterbelt slams the door into the living room, rushing like a chicken with its head cut off. He looked around to only see you two alone.

Garterbelt: Where the hell is Panty?!

(Y/N) and Stocking: (shrugs) Beats me.

He quickly grabs his phone and speed dialed Panty. After a few attempts though, she didn't answer. Garterbelt became frustrated and just tightened the grip on his phone, almost crushing it.

Garterbelt: When that damn whore is needed, she's nowhere to be found! Man I can't STAND her sometimes!

(Y/N): The hell's going on?

Garterbelt: Apparently there's something or someone causing destruction by the main square of the city. Its presence itself is so powerful, so that's why I was looking for Panty, since you three will be able to work together to take it down.

Stocking: Well too bad blond bitch ain't around here. I guess it's up to us to repent the ghost (Y/N).

(Y/N): (sighs) Yeah... Man I was getting comfortable with you too.

Stocking: (smiles) We'll cuddle more later. Let's just go and kick some ass first.

(Y/N): (smirks) Alrighty babe. Let's do this shit.

The two of you jumped downstairs to get to the garage. See Through revs up, and dashed through the driveway and onto the main street. Garterbelt just had a tingling feeling that something may go wrong here.

As Stocking was driving, you noticed the scenarios around you. Burning roads, crashed cars, crumbling buildings, and bent-over streetlights. Whoever done this really took their time to cause destruction.

Stocking: Jesus. What kind of ghost did this?

(Y/N): There's only one way to find out. Let's GO!

Stocking dashed through the streets and dodged all the crushed cars, leading up to an empty street with a lone person standing in the middle of the wreckage. The two of you got out and prepared your weapons.

(Y/N): Stop right there, criminal scum!

Stocking: Turn around slowly so that we kick the shit out of you!

...

...

...

But the lone figure just stands there. As if it wasn't listening at all.

???: This is a test... I've taken this test to stand victorious against my past. A person only becomes stronger when they defeat their weaker self.

Your eyes widen to hear something that was beyond this world. Something that many people wouldn't understand. Something that only YOU guys would know.

A reference.

(Y/N): The only person so says that is Diav-... Who are you?!

???: (chuckles) Isn't it obvious? After all this time, you already forgotten about moi?

The figure turns around to reveal their face, and many emotions filled your head all at once. The one person you were trying to chase, the man you swore revenge to, and the only individual you know that has your family.

(Y/N): Kisama! (T/N)!!!

===========================

Author's Note: Yay! Slightly earlier chapter than usual! But then again, it is shorter than usual too...

Sorry to leave it on a cliff hanger, but the end of Panty and Stocking is coming very soon.

I also messed up on one of the references. RIP.

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, and I'll see you all in the next one!
