"It was supposed to be a better plot, it shouldn't get worse!" I shrieked. My friends Glier, Elsa, Delta, Aria, Rhea and Autumn flinched. They were used to outbursts about arts and stories but today was a bit unusual.

"Look, we must find a better plot or this entire idea will go to the dumpster," I continued.

Did I forget to introduce myself? Hey, I'm Eda and I am a teen who has a too imaginative mind and always fussy and silly at the same time.

Aria the manga fan of the group tried to calm her while stating, "I don't see a problem to the plot, we can try to extend it and make it more logical?"

Rhea suggested some ideas to make it a cuter story and Autumn as the actually-studying-for-school girl was trying to suggest character ideas of the story.

Glier the geek and Delta the part time artist shrugged and agreed to some of the ideas and occasionally added some of their own. Elsa was the nerdy one, giving references from most of the movies/ books that she loved.

"I guess I needed some ideas," I leaned back on her chair, and quickly added, "But no absurd or totally ridiculous ones!"

"But girl, you are the one with the ridiculous ideas."

I feigned a horrified look, "Me?!"

"Yeah... like every story, you are the one with the most weird plots," Aria added.

I shrugged, "Too much fanfics for me I guess, but I'm not quitting it, okay?"

The six of them stared at me before muttering "are-you-serious" and "she's-not-gonna-stop-with-the-fluff/horror/romance/weird-fanfics".

Ahh, I just loved to mess with them sometimes, it's just so... satisfying...?

"I feel like we are straying from our goal here today, do you all want to continue or..." Glier trailed off and some of them begin to pale. A form appeared behind me, I can feel her presence. So I did what I always do.

I laughed.

My friends looked at me with horrified expressions. The robot behind me wore a dark green trench coat with a bright lighted 'G' at the edge. She wore a neon blue belt with a sound wave symbol. Her eyes were metallic and emotionless, she looks just like me but instead of just black hair, she has a neon blue fringe that curtains her right eye. I made a reassuring hand gesture while trying to explain through my laughter, "Guys.... meet Sireda. Sireda, my friends. You might have heard of her as one of my OCs but yes, she is real. That confirms Autumn's fear that Sireda is real, in fact, all of our characters are real but you just didn't know!"

My friends' gaze shifted from the robot to me and back again to Sireda. Aria finally has the courage to speak out, "So wait, you mean that this..." she gestured to the robot behind me, "...is not the only one that is real but in fact, the killer OCs, the mythicals... and others... ARE ALSO REAL? That could be bad right? Some of them can possibly kill us with the powers we had given them!"

"Or it can be disastrous," Delta said, "There are some characters that ended up being the ones we gave the most unfortunate lives to, they may want revenge!"

"In short, not-a-good-idea and possible-death-awaits," Autumn said.

Elsa, the optimistic bubble, voiced up, "Maybe it could be a good thing? We can learn more from them too! What do you think, Eda?"
