The Next Life (SaTzu)

The Stick of Fate

"Tzuyu... Tell me what will happen in our next life."

"You and I are both going to meet each other again."

"When?"

"Probably a little earlier than when we met each other in this life."

"Okay."

The city was loud and rowdy. The sun was bearing down on the people below. Everyone around was gross and sweaty. Needless to say, a tired Tzuyu was having a pretty horrible day. She stood around awkwardly as she clutched onto her pamphlets. She was advertising some restaurant's fried chicken. Honestly, she didn't know what she was doing. She just randomly decided to get a part-time job.

Several people had already walked by Tzuyu. No one would take her pamphlets. Tzuyu walked behind a man and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Excuse me, would you like-"

"I'm busy!" He screeched at her. He huffed before speeding away. Tzuyu bit her bottom lip to stop herself from cursing.

Tzuyu saw a group of girls walk by her. She gave it a shot.

"Hey guys, would you like to eat some chicken?" Tzuyu smiled the best she could.

The group of girls looked awkwardly at each other, willing someone to answer Tzuyu. Eventually, one of the girls got nudged and she smiled apologetically at Tzuyu. "Sorry, we're vegetarian."

"But... you're all eating beef." Tzuyu pointed at their little container of beef. The girls looked around awkwardly again before nudging a different girl to answer.

"W-We took this beef from the store to stop others from eating it."

"But you all ate it yourselves-"

"Bye!"

They all scrammed. Tzuyu sighed heavily, placing her pamphlets down on the table next to her. She didn't want to get fired. She had to hand out all her pamphlets before the day ended. You're probably wondering, can't Tzuyu just throw them all away or hide them? Well, that's a very good point, but unfortunately Tzuyu has too much integrity and pride to do that... She's also very dumb because she never thought of those ideas.

Tzuyu stomped her feet when she realized that no one was going to take her stupid pamphlets and she was indeed going to get fired.

"This is going to be a long day."

Tzuyu blinked rapidly as she saw a pretty weird girl skipping towards her area.

"At her pace, it would be a miracle if she doesn't fall."

Not too far from the chicken-pamphlet advertiser, Sana was skipping along the sidewalk happily. She just learned that she passed all her exams. She hummed to herself as she look at her exam papers, very satisfied with the high marks.

While this was happening, people were rushing to get to work from their lunch breaks and children were making bets on who could reach the park faster. The city was currently very rowdy, wild, and noisy. You would think that this would be the reason that Sana accidentally tripped, but nope.

"You're going to trip over a stick like you always do and I'm going to save you."

She tripped over a little stick.

Sana squeaked as she tumbled forward. In her attempt to save herself, she let go of her papers so that she could at least fall to the ground fabulously. She didn't want to look like a dimwit... But to be honest, letting go of the papers was a pretty dumb idea, because they all began to fly away in the wind.
