Yumi's POV:

I ran my character around the very small town for yet another time. I was waiting for Alita to log on, since she was the one who showed me this fantasy role playing game. While it was sort of addicting, I normally just logged off when Alita was stuck at the factory working with Jeremy.

Alita had been drawn to all the things your character can do. I just found it funny that Sorcerers, like my character named Ruby, pretty much had to fight evil wearing a prom dress…or so her outfit looked like to me…

I pulled up my friends list. Alita's character was the only one on the list, & she still wasn't on…I'd give her anther few minutes before logging off for the night.

I was staring off into space when I heard a ding from the computer. Somebody was talking to me using the game's private instant messaging.

"Hi." said somebody named Kit had sent. "What's up?"

"Just waiting for a friend of mine to show up…" I said.

"Same here, but he's asleep…" Kit said.

"You never know." I typed back. "He might log on."

"He's my roommate; I can see that he's asleep."

"Oh." I said. "Well, at lest you know not to wait around for him…"

"lol." We sat there for a while, & I was about to log off when he sent anther message.

"How did you get interested in the game?"

"A friend of mine told me about it. I liked the fact that it let me fight stuff after a long day…What about you?"

"The sleeping roommate showed it to me. The game's a good stress reliever." Kit said. "Trust me, I would know…"

"Really? What's so bad about it?" I asked, then realized that it might be personal. "Sorry, I don't mean to be nosy. You don't have to answer that…"

"No, it's ok." Kit said. "There's this girl…"

"Aw!"

"Not like that. She is the most annoying person I have ever met. She keeps trying to ask me out even though I've told her several times that I'm just not interested…"

"That sucks." I said. "I know one of those types, too. Thinks she's better then everybody else?"

"That's the type." Kit said. "What about you? What do you stress about?"

I tried to figure out what to say, since XANA & Lyoko weren't things I cold bring up. "I…feel like the world is on my shoulders." I said. "Like, everybody expects me to do everything…"

"Yeh, I know all about that. My parents want me to be an amazing student, but I've never really been good at school…"

We kept talking for a while, about little things that I guess didn't really matter, but he was so amazing. We liked a lot of the same stuff, his life seemed to be a lot like mine…Except for the whole saving the world thing…

Without realizing it, we managed to talk for a full hour into the night. Once we finally logged off, I went to bed hoping that we would see each other again…

I have wanted to do a story like this for a long time…& what a better story to use then my favorite film of all time?

I really hope you guys like this one!
