Hi Everybody!!! I'm new Fanfiction writer Billy-Bob Burmstrang, and this is my first fanfic. First off, I thought of writing this story for a while. I wanted to write it but my computer wasn't fast enough. When we finally got the internet upgraded, after writing the first chapter and knowing where I'm going with this. Imagine my horror when Yoshiman 's fanfic titled Video Game was a little similar to his at little parts and REALLY similar in chapter two (you'll see why). This is not a mild plagerization. His story and mine being a little bit similar at parts and a lot similar in chapter two are big coincidences. Please don't get angry at me. I hope you like this just as much as his or more!!! If you don't, that's okay too.

Legal disclaimer: I am a little wussy man and do not own most of these characters. The characters that are unique are of my creation, so I'm slapping my name on them, and, well, since I don't want to give away the story, you'll probably be able to tell. In the other chapters legal disclaimers I'll name the characters as I go along.

I know this chapter's kind of boring, but it's just to set up the story, and it'll get a lot better.

I had to add more characters to get what I want!!! Might wanna re-read this chapter...

Chapter 1: The Beginning

Ashley was sitting alone on the porch, crying and thinking. The tears dribbled from her blue eyes down to her long brunette hair. A dark skinned girl with green eyes peeked her head out the door and saw her.

"Ashley?"

"Yes, Kate?"

"Why are you crying?"

"Because I miss him. I know he's still out there."

Kate sat down beside her friend. "I miss him too. But, it's been a year exactly since he disappeared. You heard the news. He's missing. I know he was your boyfriend but... he's gone."

They were talking about Ashley's boyfriend, Brian. He had disappeared a year ago and no one had ever seen him again. Ashley kept thinking about the last time she saw him, walking from the bus to his house. As she watched through the window, Brian tripped on a rock and fell into a puddle. The bus turned the corner just as Brian was about to hit the puddle, luckily for his pride. He apparently disappeared before he got home. If she'd only seen what happened...

There was someone shouting from inside, "hey! Are we getting this contest started or what? The Video Game Lover's Tournament is about to begin."

Kate shouted back down the hall, "just a minute!" She looked at Ashley, "Why'd you think about him now?"

"I don't know. I just had this sudden thought of him in my brain. It's getting hard to remember him, too."

Kate just shrugged her shoulders, then said " that sounds weird. Now, come on, Mark's going to get angry if we take too long out here." She smiled evilly. "Plus, I wanna kick his butt at Pokemon."

Three guys were waiting for them, fighting over who gets to play first. Their names were Mark, who was very tall for 15, about 6 feet 2 inches. Everyone there was 15 except for Jake, who was 18. Mark had black hair, and blue eyes. There was also Rob, about 5 foot 9, with buzz-cut blonde hair and brown eyes, Rob's older brother, Jake, who was shorter than Rob, 5 foot 3, but looked more fit, and had spiky blonde hair and brown eyes, Cole, 5 foot 1, with a shaved head and blue eyes, and Daniel, 5 foot 3, with black hair and green eyes. They all lived in this apartment and put their money together every month to pay the rent, but ever since Brian, who also lived there, had disappeared, they were having problems with the rent.

"You got to play first last time, Jake!" Rob half-shouted.

"Yeah. But it's my house so I'm going to play first anyway." He said with a grin.

Rob looked angry, so Ashley knew she should change the subject before he got really angry with his big brother. "Guys, let's just turn it on and go from there, okay?"

Jake, who owned the systems, agreed with this and turned the game on.

The screen started glowing a pale, bright white, and didn't change for half a minute. Jake, looking at the others faces, said, " just a sec, I probably need to restart it."

Then the screen started crackling and a hole opened in the screen. "What the...?" Mark started to say, but then, all at once, everyone passed out.
M, MGM, Z, P, K.
