Mini Buddies!! Let's Buddyfight!

Noboru's Year... Yes, I'm Doing It Again!

During New Year's Eve, Noboru, his parents, and El Quixote were sitting in the living room waiting for the countdown.

Mrs. Kodo: Noboru sweetie, you should go to sleep.

Noboru: But moooooom! I'm not sleepy yeeeeet!

Mr. Kodo: *pats his head* You sound so sleepy though! *laughs*

Noboru: Myaaaaaa.... *snores*

El Quixote: Oh my. 

Rocinante decides to sit on Noboru's lap and slap his face with his tail.

Noboru: ACHOOO! *rubs his nose* Rocinante! Bad! *pulls out a spray*

Rocinante hisses as he immediately jumps off of Noboru's lap. Noboru's parents just laughed as the dad turns on the TV. There, Paruko is announcing the countdown with a random TV reporter.

Paruko: Whenever there's something weird in this story, Paruko Nanana is here to report it!

TV Reporter: Well, the only thing that is about to happen is that the end of the year is upon us!

Paruko: That... That sounds super ominous, dude.

TV Reporter: I used to be a part of the occult. 

Paruko: Dude...

TV Reporter: Girl...

Takosuke: Takochuu...

There was an awkward silence between them, to the point Noboru could hear Ikazuchi yelling in the background.

Ikazuchi: LET ME WIN THE LUCK RAFFLE THIS YEAR!!!!

Noboru: Was that-

TV Reporter: AAAAANYWAYS we are are down to our final minute!

Paruko: So ominous- wait are those shooting stars?!

TV Reporter: Wait where???

The camera pans to the sky, where a meteor shower starts to appear.

Paruko: It's a New Year miracle! 

TV Reporter: Well looks like we're ending the year with a big bang! *laughs*

Paruko: Seriously stop being so-

TV Reporter: Oh! Ten seconds left! START THE COUNTDOWN!

Everyone begins counting down. Noboru smiles at his family and his Buddy as they all counted down the last 3 seconds.

Mr. & Mrs. Kodo: Three!

El Quixote: Two!

Noboru: One!

???: MYAAAAA!!!

Noboru: Eh?

Fireworks were being released into the sky as the new year has arrived. People cheered, Ikazuchi cursed out loud, and the meteor shower SOMEHOW TURNED INTO A GIANT CAT?!

Noboru: *rubs his eyes* I'm getting sleepy for some reason...

Mr. Kodo: Well, looks like we'll visit the shrine first thing in the morning.

Mrs. Kodo: Good night Noboru.

Noboru: Love you mom. Love you too dad... *SNORES*

- THE NEXT DAY - 

Noboru: *wakes up* Nyaaaa~!! Man, that was a nice nap, nya. *rubs his eyes* Huh? Why is everything... So big, nya? Wait, nya?

Noboru tries to get off of his bed, but he falls onto the floor face first.
