It's still January 2, 2020. Gothic was going to see her friends School, Noble, Delusion Girl Miku, and Deep Sky about what happened earlier today. Earlier, she had a chat with Starmine, a Len module. She reached Deep Sky's house and knocked on the door. Deep Sky answered it.

Deep Sky: Hey, Grace.

Gothic: Skylar! I have to tell you and the other girls something. Can I come in?

Deep Sky: Yeah, of course.

Gothic came into the house. She saw her other friends Naureen, Delilah, and Sarah in the living room.

Noble: Hey, Grace.

Deep Sky: Okay, Grace. What do you have to tell us?

Gothic: Alright. Earlier, I wanted to take a walk to the park. But as soon as it was starting to get quiet, I heard someone crying.

Delusion Girl Miku: Was it Ciel?

Noble: Did Agitation break up with him?!1

Gothic: No! God, I hope not. I saw Starmine instead.

Delusion Girl Miku: What was he doing at the park?

Gothic: Probably the same as me. Anyway, it was his daughter Amanda that was crying. It wouldn't stop after a while. I saw him and I offered to help him calm his daughter.

School: I forgot that he has a little girl.

Deep Sky: He's the only Len that has a child.

Delusion Girl Miku: I thought Eraser is currently expecting?

Noble: Is he? Huh. I thought Shelby got Alexiel pregnant. Or Lillian got Hansel pregnant.2

Gothic: We're not talking about Eraser, Hansel, or Alexiel! We're talking about Starmine here. Anyway, after I calmed Amanda down, Starmine and I decided to talk about recent changes in our lives. Starmine told me something horrible.

School: What?

Gothic: He told me that Ashley broke up with him recently. She's been seeing someone else. Probably a non-module.

The other girls gasped.

Deep Sky: That's awful!

Noble: So, he's single?

Gothic nodded.

Delusion Girl Miku: But he and Ashley love each other! Why break up?

Gothic: The reason why Amanda was crying was because she misses her dad. In other words, Ashley.

Delusion Girl Miku: That's so sad.

Deep Sky: And then what happened?

Gothic: I comforted him, and then he was gonna tell Ashley something. Something really important. But he never got the chance to tell her.

Noble: What was it?

Gothic: He told me that it's okay if I told you guys. Since you guys are my closest friends. I can't tell anyone else.

Deep Sky: Just tell us! We're all dying to know!

Gothic: Alright. Starmine...is pregnant.

The rest of the girls gasped.

Delusion Girl Miku: Wow. Wasn't expecting that at all.

Noble: But he's like what? 16 years old? Like us?

Gothic: I'm 17. Going to be 18 in October.

Deep Sky: He had Amanda when he was 15, right?

Gothic: I think so. Veronica told me that she helped him give birth to her.

Delusion Girl Miku: Still. There's nothing worse than being a pregnant teenager.

Noble: How far along is he, do you know?

Gothic: I don't know. He never told me. Maybe during our little date he'll tell me.

Delusion Girl Miku: Whoa, girlfriend. Hold that thought. You're going to date a pregnant Len?

Gothic: It's going to be a friendly date.

School: So, you're just friends? You don't want to be an item with him?

Gothic: I don't know. Maybe the authoress's friend can decide what to do with me and my relationship.1

Noble: Where will this date be held?

Gothic: I suggested my house. He seemed okay with that. I even offered to cook the food. Since he can't cook.

Deep Sky: Well, as long as you're happy, we'll support you.

Gothic: Thanks, girls. I need to wear something nice.

Delusion Girl Miku: Why not what you have on now?

Gothic: I suppose that could work. What am I supposed to cook?

School: Maybe your favorite food. Since you don't know what your boyfriend likes.

Gothic: He's not my boyfriend! Not yet. We're just dating as friends.

School: Suuuuurrreee.

Delusion Girl Miku: But still...I don't like this little match-up. I mean, he's pregnant. As in, he's having a baby soon. That doesn't bother you at all?

Gothic: I don't get why you guys are against Starmine and the fact that he's a mother!

Delusion Girl Miku: A teenage mother.

Gothic: Whatever! Even though he doesn't have a girlfriend anymore, he still has friends. Like us and the other Len modules.

School: And you as his future girlfriend.

Gothic: I'm not even sure he likes me like that.

School: I'll bet he does. Besides, he's single.

Delusion Girl Miku: And pregnant.

Gothic: I don't even care if the baby's not mine. I'm still going to help him give birth to this baby when the time comes.

Noble: And maybe we can help, too.

Gothic: Yeah. So, he's not really alone after all. Okay, we're all in this little plan.

Deep Sky: You should get ready for that little date of yours.

Gothic: Yeah. I need to go grocery shopping. Bye, girls!

Noble: Let us know when that baby comes!

School: And tell us if he likes you back!

Gothic: SARAH!!!
