Scary Stories and CreepyPasta's!

Dying Happy

Author's note: The following is a video game pasta that requires basic knowledge of Tomodachi Life for the Nintendo 3DS to fully understand. The game involves Nintendo Miis that the player creates, living in an apartment building on an island where they have relationships, sing songs, etc. This pasta is not intended to glorify suicide in any way. I would never EVER want anyone to take their own life. It's just a story. ~Kendall

"So did you get Smash Bros.?" I asked my friend, Owen.

He paused to take a drag on a cigarette before answering, "I got Tomodachi Life."

"What? I thought you were gonna get Smash Bros.? I got it, thinking we were gonna play together."

"I know, but then I watched these hilarious Youtube videos of Tomodachi characters singing songs. You can change the lyrics to anything you want. It's friggin' awesome."

"That does sound awesome, but I wish you had told me. I would have just gotten it too."

"Sorry, dude."

"Oh well. Smash Bros. should be fun anyway."

Owen took another drag before saying, "I gotta go back to work. I'll call you later and tell you how it is."

"Okay. I'll just play Smash Bros. 'till then. Bye."

"Bye. And watch the videos."

"Okay. Bye."

I went to Youtube and searched: "Tomodachi Life funny songs". Needless to say, people making their own lyrics to songs sung by video game characters is as funny as you would think it is.

"Damn," I said, "Now I want this game."

That evening, Owen called to tell me all about it.

"Dude. You would love Tomodachi Life. I made the most messed up looking people. I can't wait for them to have babies."

"They have babies? That's awesome!"

"Yeah, and they're a combination of the parents, so if the parents look all crazy then the baby will probably be extra super crazy."

"Damn. Smash Bros. is fun. I did a few online battles, but I don't know what I'm doing yet."

Owen changed the subject back to Tomodachi, "It's weird, though. I didn't get to make my own character at the beginning."

"Why not?"

"I don't know. There was already a character there. I wanted to import my Mii, but it just jumped over that part. I know because I watched a video on Youtube showing someone starting the game for the first time. I tried to edit it, but it won't save."

"That's weird. So you're forced to be someone else?"

"Well, not really. I mean, I just made another character that looks like me, and I'm pretending he's the main guy. It's just weird 'cause the Miis talk about the other guy like he's the mayor or whatever, not me."

"Hey wait, did you get a used copy?"

"Ohh, that must be it. They usually erase the games before they resell them. At least at my store we did." Owen had previously worked at Game Stop. "I guess they forgot, or didn't bother."

"Are you gonna restart?"

"Eh. There's no point, really. Besides, this character is awesome. His name is Mr. Happy Death Death. He's even got a song."

"A song? Do other people get songs?"

"Yeah, but his is fucking awesome. It's called 'Dying Happy'."
