I need to have everyone know about this webcomic. It is a terrific webcomic and its influence must be spread far and wide. Let's get the Erma fanfictions rolling in, people!

Disclaimer: I do not own Erma, it belongs to Brandon Santiago.

A white Mazda CX-9. The spacious home-made vehicle was moving slowly across the forest trail leading to Blairwood, a small suburban town in Oregon and which was where the driver grew up before moving out in their middle school years. Arriving at their destination, the car parked in a modest house as a young man stepped out. He had black hair and a light mustache and goatee and looked to be in his mid-20's. He had washboard abs and a scar over the far left side of his lip.

This man was Alex Wick, a man who used to live in Blairwood before moving out to study abroad. It was there that he also briefly trained in martial arts and military weaponry. However, he now was home and was planning on staying this time.

"It's been a long time...but I'm home."

Smiling and taking a deep breath of the crisp afternoon air, Alex walked into the house, seeing most of his belongings already moved in. After setting everything up, he sat down on the couch and began watching TV, tuning in to a good movie as he decided to take a nap.

A few hours later, he was aroused from his slumber by the sound of flickering static. Opening his eyes, he saw his TV was showing nothing but the dreaded black and white digital particles. Groaning in annoyance, he got up to see what the problem was before stopping when he saw a black shape beginning to take form on the screen.

"What the hell...?" Was all he could muster as he reached out with his hand before jumping back in shock when the black shape burst through the screen, revealing a small figure with black hair covering its face. Alex stood his ground, refusing to show fear in the face of this mysterious creature as it crawled out of the TV and jumped down, revealing itself to be a little girl in a white dress with black dress shoes.

"Um...am I on the set for a new Ring movie?" The man muttered curiously as he squatted down to the little girls' level. She flipped her hair out of her face to reveal pale white skin, black eyes with white irises and a cute smiling face.

"Huh. you don't seem to be threatening..." Sighing, Alex stood up with his hands on his hips. "Alright kid, where are your parents? They might be looking for you."

Suddenly, a knock on the door was heard as Alex moved to answer it, only to freeze up in surprise when he saw who was there.

He was a relatively young man, probably around the same age as Alex. He had brown hair, glasses, and a goatee. He was rather lanky and alongside him was a woman who looked like an adult version of the girl that was currently in Alex's house.

"Sam?"

"Alex?"

Silence washed over before the two men smiled brightly and laughed as they hugged each other tightly. The little girl and the woman both looked confused before the two broke away.

"Alex! You came back!"

"Came back? I came HOME!"

"Dear, do you mind explaining to me how you know this man?" The woman asked politely as Sam chuckled sheepishly in response.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot. Alex, I'd like you to meet my wife, Emiko."

Alex smiled and shook her hand. "Nice to meet you. I heard Sam had picked himself up a girl and I'm quite surprised he got who I can only guess is Samara's cousin!"

Despite her eyes being shrouded by her bangs, Emiko gave the man an unamused look. "I've heard that joke before. I'm not exactly too keen on it."

The little girl soon walked up beside Alex and immediately flew into Emiko's arms. "Erma, what have I told you about scaring other people in their houses?"

The little girl now known as Erma gave a sheepish smile as Alex chuckled and ruffled her head. "Don't worry, Emi, this little runt didn't cause me any harm."

For the next half-hour, Alex got around to catching up with Sam and also talking with Emiko. Turns out, Sam met her while he was in his first year of college, studying for his writer's degree. Things just clicked between them and no sooner after Sam graduated did they marry and give birth to little Erma.

"Man, must have been one hell of a honeymoon, huh?" Alex said as Emiko giggled while Sam awkwardly rubbed the back of his head.

"Yeah, it was something, I'll tell you that."

Erma then let out a silent yawn as she curled up to her parents. Emiko smiled as she held her daughter in her arms as she stood up.

"It's been nice to meet you, Alex, but I think it's time Erma went to bed."

Alex nodded as he and Sam exchanged one last hug. "Catch up with you tomorrow?"

"Name a time and I'll be there."

As Sam and Emiko headed to their house, which was surprisingly only just across from Alex's own, the man in question had a small dinner and then went to bed, soon falling asleep with content, glad to have reunited with his best friend.

Don't worry, I'm not quitting Erma and the Mask in case you were wondering. I just want to do a fic where the OC Main Character is a Badass Normal like Sam is.

Also, yes, Alex's last name is a dead giveaway to John Wick, which I personally haven't seen but considering all the good stuff people say about it, I should probably check them out.

Also, this will be a Harem story just FYI but Sam and Emiko will still be together. Who will Alex's Harem be? Well, you'll just have to wait and see.

See you all next time and be sure to spread the good word of Erma!
