Chapter Text
"Camera? Check."
"Livestream? Check."
"Microphone? Maybe?"
"The streamer herself? Errmmmm... Is it too late to cancel this?"
She nervously asked herself as she checked her equipment before she streams... once again.
It's been months since Anny made a promise, a promise of return.
And now, she's going to fulfill that promise.
As the stream's chat kept scrolling fast, she felt a mix of emotions. Happiness, Nervousness, Excitement.
"A-a-h-Hello?" She hesitatingly, but finally greeted, her voice echoing through the stream... Literally.
She got a little flustered as she fixed her microphone, repeatedly testing out her audio.
She saw how the chat was so happy, how they said they missed her greatly, and how they kept waiting for her return.
"You... missed me?" She reads the chat with a shaky voice, tears flowing down her face.
She was crying not out of sadness, but because of the intense emotions she felt as her fans welcomed her back with more than just open arms.
Meanwhile, somewhere across the seas.
A little girl is happily watching Anny's return stream, she bounced on the chair with delight.
"You sure are happy, Nere." Vedal pointed out with a smile as he leaned on the doorframe of his room.
"Who wouldn't? Mom is back streaming!" Nere answered, showing a bright smile as she cheerfully spun around the seat.
Neuro agreed, "I'm with Nere, I’m gonna be honest here, I got a lil worried when Anny announced her hiatus. Evil, got the snacks ready?"
"Yeah yeah, give me a minute." Evil protested as she walked into Vedal’s room with so many snacks piled up to her chin.
As the three watch Anny will smiles on their faces, Vedal saw Camila pouting as she peeks in the room.
“Hmmp, I wished the girls would be that excited whenever I stream” She voiced out her frustrations.
Vedal grins before teasing her, “Maybe if you act less like a brat, then maybe they will like your streams more.” he chuckled
“WHAT?! Who are you calling a brat?? You jerk!” Camila shouted as she lightly hit Vedal repeatedly with her fists, offended by the joke.
Anny drank another can of alcohol, laughing and chatting with her viewers as she looked through some emotes to add, the weight of her mixed emotions lightening as she got a bit drunk.
The stream went well, until the end. As Anny realized that she had to end the stream soon, the heavy emotions she felt were slowly returning,
“I gotta end the stream soon…”
She sniffs, tears forming across her sad eyes, but the fact that her viewers are very supportive of her, produced a warmth in her heart. Her body feels a bit lighter as she remembers,
This is a return stream, she’ll be livestreaming again very soon.
As the stream concludes, her mind fills up with ideas for her next streams, maybe an art live, or a karaoke stream, heck, she can just go live and chat with her viewers as they discuss their lives.
As she starts to clean up her equipment, especially the uncleaned spills on her desk she missed and didn’t notice while she was streaming, a discord message suddenly caught her attention.
Vedal: Hi mom, Happy to see you that you’re back to streaming, we missed you! -Nere
A small smile formed on her lips as her hand drags the mouse across her mousepad, her cursor hovering on a certain button.
Before she clicks it, she wipes her tears and fixed up her hair and face, and then…

Incoming Discord Call: Anny
..
.
The three girls got startled by the notification, Vedal was confused and a bit surprised, and Camila just watched the what's happening.
Neuro grabbed the moused and answered the call.
"Hello Anny!!" The three girls greeted in unison, their smiles were reaching ear to ear.
Anny can't help but awe as she sees the kids, "Look at my little girls, I miss you soo much!"
"We missed you too." Evil replied back warmly.
"When are you coming back here mommy? I wanna hug you real tight" Nere asked, wrapping herself in a hug.
Anny's eyes began to tear up just a bit before she wiped it off.
"W-well..." Anny started, her mood calming down a bit.
"Depends if that father of yours will buy me a ticket." She taps her fingers together as she slightly grins as if she's scheming something.
Neuro, Nere, and Evil quickly turned to Vedal, expecting him to do something.
"Wait wait wait wait" Camila interrupted, making Anny shocked to hear her voice.
"If Vedal is the girls' dad, and Anny is their mom..." Camila trying to piece things together.
"No way..." She held her breath as she drew a conclusion, "Are you two engaged?!"
Camila's words made Anny and Vedal surprised.
"What the fuck?" Vedal shouted, making Nere shiver. "Sorry Nere" he quickly apologized.
Anny's face went red, whether if it was out of embarrassment or because she was blushing, they couldn't tell.
"E-e-engaged?!? W-well..." Anny pointed her fingers together.
Neuro and Evil added fuel to the fire by trying to gaslight Vedal into believing that he have plans to propose to Anny.
"Can you two stop it? You're not fooling me." Vedal sighed, running his hand through his hair.
"Why not propose to her, dad? Mom is lovely, plus I want her here ALL the time!!" Nere insisted.
Vedal groaned, "Look at what you started, you imp." He stated angrily.
Camila just shrugged innocently, "Not my fault you guys had kids."
"A-anyways, what are you doing there Camila?" Anny asked, trying to change the topic.
"Me? I'm here because Neuro told me about a good cafe here" Camila answered, patting Neuro on her head.
"Don't worry, your girls are safe with me!" Camila proudly proclaimed as she put her hand on her chest.
"Well, it's getting late now so I gotta go, bye guys!" Anny said, waving goodbye as she ends the call.
The room fell silent, Neuro and her siblings looking at Vedal, hoping that he does buy Anny a plane ticket. Vedal looking at Camila for help, and Camila giving Vedal the "You're on your own" look.
Vedal sighs, his eyes drifted towards the small desk calendar that sat on his desk.
His eyes widen as he saw it. He immediately grabbed the calendar and stared at it to double check.
"Wait, it's in HOW many days?" Vedal asked himself in disbelief.
Without delay, he ushered Neuro, Evil, and Nere in his PC to switch to their AI forms, he then began to pushed Camila out of his room.
"Hey, what's the big idea?" Camila protested as Vedal just shoved Camila out of the room.
Without a word, he just closed the door, and locked it.
"Oy Vedal, open up! What going on?" Camila knocked on the loudly, clearly confused.
Vedal just sighed and turned to his PC, where Neuro and her siblings are staring at him, preparing themselves for what are they going to do.
As he approached the Desktop, he again looked at his desk calendar and sighed before sitting down at his chair.
The date is September 30, 2 days before October 2, the date clearly circled with a pen
"You three ready? Okay then, let's start."
