Hello. This is my first FanFic, so please leave comments. I'd like to get better at this so the creators, not me, aren't shamed.

"Al, where are you? Lyco, you there?" Hokuto asked while pouting. She had been waiting outside of Albireo's house for about half an hour. "It's not right to keep a lady waiting, you know."

As a stranger in the shadows walked by they mumbled, "Lady? Yeah right. To call you a lady would be an insult to every woman in the entire world."

Having heard this, Hokuto's eyes blew up in a fiery rage right before shouting, "What was that! How dare you, a common Long Arm, not call me a lady! You don't even know me! Jerk."

"Oh, but I do know you." The light then reviled the Long Arm to be Albireo.

"You're still a jerk." I knew that Hokuto couldn't bare to lose; she's a girl after all. However, that meant nothing to me.

"Says you. You don't even know the real me, only Albireo the Long Arm."

"The same could be said for you. You only know Hokuto the Wavemaster. And I am a lady." Her PC's face then closed it's eyes and stuck it's tongue at me. She must've typed in a command, the only way to show actual expression in The World.

"Actually..." I said as my voice trailed off. Hokuto was displeased. Her expression didn't change, but you could feel the tension in the air. Or maybe, I just need to get out of the office and game more. I'm turning into a crip, I suppose.

"Actually what?" Her voice was shaking. She knew I found out about the real her; about her being W. B. Yates.

"Actually, there's an event today that's stating soon. I was wondering if you would wanna go with me." I had done it; I had swallowed my pride. I knew that if said anything she'd make a scene and deny it. Besides, she knew about Lyco. There was no way that I'd ever let a secret like that get out.

So, all I have to do now is make it through this event. It shouldn't take more than half an hour anyways. I had heard around the water cooler that Mr. Nakamora created this event. Yoshiyuki Nakamora was infamous at CC Corp. for his easy events. Any time he made one the announcements of the winners would come in within an hour.

"How nice of you, Al. Trying to make up for your rudeness earlier?"

I left her in silence as I walked toward the event banner. Hokuto started to follow. As I skimmed the banner, it said that the event was called "The One Journey" and would be held in Delta Chosen Prosperous Pathway.

"What a stupid name. They just had an event named 'The One...'! The next one will be called 'The One Event'."

"Thank you for your unwanted two cents, Hokuto," I sarcastically said. "Why don't we just go before someone beats it?"

"Fine, fine. You just better behave yourself!"

"Whatever." I couldn't care less about this event or her, yet she's raving about it. "I bet she just likes to hear herself talk," I mumbled.

With that, we both warped to Delta Chosen Prosperous Pathway.
