SORRY FOR THE TERRIBLE SUMMARY! There is only so much I can fit into that tiny box-_-

I have to admit, I was super surprised when someone requested this. When I first got the request I hadn't even watched the movie Summer Wars yet. I've heard a few things about it, but just never got around to watching it.

Some liked it, some didn't, so I wasn't sure what to expect. However, I'm really glad I got a chance to watch it because I loved it! I'm also glad I got this request from Gabby1234! You have been so nice to me and asked really politely. And even though you gave me this request a while ago I'm glad you didn't rush me to post it.

When ever I write a story I prefer to have written a few bits of every chapter and have the basic story developed on a little scrap paper or something before I post chapter one.

So thank you for letting me take my time with this.

As the summary says above, this is a sequel to the movie. Based around two years after defeating Love Machine.

Just to get this story going I am adding three OCs. These three will be the only OCs added to this story. (…maybe. I dunno)

I hope you don't mind.

I was actually really surprised when Gabby1234 asked if I could add my two Ocs, Arinna and Vincent to her request story. The other OC is hers and her name is Rei.

Don't worry though, for those who don't really like OC"s I'm going to try my best to mainly stick to Kenji in this story!

Also, I apologize ahead of time for any spelling and/or grammar errors there may be.

Summer wars

Two years.

It was hard to believe that is has been two years since the incident involving Love Machine.

It was hard at first, trying to get everything back on track with OZ, but they were able to do it, with a whole lot of help from everyone.

After what happened, things began to improve for everyone. In a way, it was sort of a good thing all this happened. It showed everyone just how dependant they had become on one thing. No one wanted to get rid of OZ, yet at the same time, we also realized that we can't be so cooped up in the virtual world.

That you can manage in this world without OZ 24/7.

Thinking about it more and more, many good things came from this. He wasn't saying that he was glad Love Machine came around, not at all. He was just glad a lot of people were able to come together and stand as one.

It was really inspiring.

And the past part of this whole thing… Kenji got his first girlfriend!

Even thinking about it now made him blush and want to faint. He had gotten better at not fainting, thankfully, but the thought of doing so was still there.

Being with Natsuki was the greatest thing to ever happen to Kenji. He loved her with all his heart, and was still shocked that she felt the same. That such a beautiful and kind girl like her would like a nerd like him? It seemed impossible.

But it was true.

Kenji could picture that first kiss they shared. Well… that Natsuki gave him. He didn't want to kiss her with a bloody nose, but she kissed his cheek anyway.

He was embarrassed to say he fainted after it. The family was ecstatic none the less though, and welcomed Kenji like one of their own. It was nice, having such a big family.

Kenji's mind began to flash back to that last day at the Jinnouchi family house.

Everyone was waving good bye to him and excitedly telling him to come next year. Even Kazuma lifted his hand for a few seconds in a short farwell.

Kenji had felt so sad to go, knowing that as soon as he returned, he would be living in that quiet house all alone again. With both of his parents always gone on business, Kenji was almost always alone.

Thankfully though, as soon as they returned he spent almost every waking moment with Natsuki. She would come over to his house all the time, simply because she felt like it.

He wondered if part of the reason was because she knew he was always home alone, and was truly grateful to his beautiful girl friend.

Girl friend.

(Don't faint Kenji! Pull it together man!)

Kenji chuckled nervously to himself. Smiling like a love struck idiot, which is what he was, he paused when suddenly his thoughts moved to Love Machine.

Love Machine's face appeared in his mind, halting all other thoughts.

His mind seemed to freeze, and everything went dark.

Love Machine stood before him, still using his old Avatar to travel around. His creepy smiled pulled on his face and he chuckled.

"L-Love Machine?" Kenji squeaked in surprise. "What are you-" before he could even get another word out, Love Machine turned, and lifted is hand.

OZ appeared above their heads, normal and carrying on with its daily business.

With one wave of his hand, OZ began to crash down again, just as it did before.

"Ah! Stop!" Kenji screamed.

Looking over his shoulder, Love Machine chuckled, watching with amusement as OZ began to crumble, falling into pieces around them.

(Kenji.)

Horrified, Kenji felt frozen in place, unable to do anything to stop this.

(Kenji!)

Unable to do anything.

"Kenji. He-y, Kenji!" A voice called to him within the darkness.

Forced out of his dream, Kenji eyes snapped open and he lifted his head off of his desk drowsily. "…Huh?" he turned towards the owner of the voice.

A chuckle filled his ears. "Really Kenji, you shouldn't fall asleep while you are working."

Blinking a few times to clear the haze in his eyes, he was surprised at who he saw.

It was his classmate, and new co-worker, Arinna Kentin.

"Hi." She waved.

"Arinna." He spazzed a bit, embarrassed to be caught sleeping on the job. "W-What are you-?"

"I work here, remember?" she moved to sit in the chair next to him. Reaching for her computer, she brought up her OZ account. Just like Kenji did, Arinna worked to improve OZ's system.

After the whole Love Machine incident, Kenji's name had thankfully been cleared. He also got promoted to a high position with OZ and was asked to improve the encryption system.

Stunned, Kenji took the job happily, and was thanked more than once by people around the world. It was rather embarrassing to say the least.

Around this time, Kenji was officially one year out of high school. No longer able to use the computer rooms to finish his job, Kenji had gotten together with his three friends to start a small little business of work. It was Takashi Sakuma, his best friend, and an old classmate they had in the Math club, Arinna Kentin.

Of course all them worked for OZ doing different things.

You see, after they left high school they took a bit of money they got from their jobs in OZ and got this small one story building, with only two rooms, as an area of work for their OZ jobs. It was sort of like their own personal offices.

Glancing at Arinna, he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. He watched as her profile, a large turtle, appeared on the screen.

This turtle was different then most you see within the world. Thanks to OZ's advance customizing system, she created quite an amazing avatar.

Her profile stood tall on its back legs, similar to how Kazuma's Avatar character was. Since Arinna knew Taijutsu, she insisted that her Turtle character was a Ninja Turtle.

You can laugh if you want, but that Turtle is definitely more than meets the eye. Especially when thrown into battle.

"Oh hey." Without looking away from the computer screen, she held out his phone to him. "You girl friend, Natsuki called."

"What?!" Kenji almost fell out of his chair in his mad scramble to reach for his phone.

"Yeah, you were sleeping though, so I picked it up for you. She wanted to know if you are still coming over to her house for the some giant family get together?" Arinna glanced at him.

"Oh, yeah." He smiled fondly at his phone. "It is in honor of Natsuki's grandmother. She really loved the family, and didn't want any of them to pull apart, so in her will she asked that the family stay strong, and continued to run the place in her absence. So the family decided that every year for at least one week everyone, if they could, would go up to Natsuki's grandma's house and spend some time together. It is what she would have wanted."

Arinna whistled. "It sounds fun... and sweet."

"It is. Last year was the first year we did it. It was crazy." Kenji grinned.

"You went too?" Arinna titled her head.

Blushing, Kenji laughed nervously. "W-Well yeah, I was invited and… and stuff."

"So you are like family to them." Arinna smiled. "That is sweet."

Flushing red from the idea of being apart of Natsuki's family, he smiled sheepishly. Glancing at her computer, he pointed to the screen. "Hey, look." He gawked when suddenly, a huge pile of old data files landed in front of her.

"What a mess." Arinna sighed at the sight of it.

Oh hey, that brings up Arinna's job for OZ. She doesn't do the same things Kenji and Takashi do. She takes care of OZ's waste disposal.

Any old data files, pictures, upgrades no longer need, you name it, if someone deletes it on OZ, it comes to her to handle.

Well, not exactly to her. It goes to OZ's trash bin. It is a section of OZ that no on really cares to go to because it is as the name implies, for trash.

It is like a city's dump, except it is for OZ.

So nothing over flows and is disposed of correctly, Arinna goes in and organizes it, until the systems trash units, or TU's, can take care of it.

It is a big job that Arinna often finds herself spending hours on, but it pays for her bills, so she does it regardless of the endless hours.

Clicking her mouse, Arinna's profile began to approach the pile. Lifting her animated three fingered turtle hand, the files levitated into the air and began to move into different slots.

Kenji had to admit; he wondered what it would be life to work for OZ's trash disposal.

It involved going to a section of OZ that not many people venture to. Plus, they didn't delete everything that came there. Usually only old files were deleted.

However, they did keep some of the old upgrades, company designs, and different OZ related upgrades there too. Such as some old OZ clothing that went out of fashion years ago. It was sort of like going to a museum and seeing OZ's history.

Because of this though, and to protect old OZ files, you need an access code to get into it. The same goes for getting out.

Slowly pulling his gaze away from the screen, Kenji looked down to his phone. Natsuki had called about 10 minutes ago.

Flipping up his phone, and ready to call back, he paused when the door opened and his best friend Takashi Sakuma came in.

"Hard at work I see." He smiled at the two of them.

"Yeah. You're late." Arinna glanced at him. "Get distracted by a girl on the way here?"

"Jealous?" Sakuma smirked at her.

"You wish." She snorted, looking back at her computer. "Hey, I saw you threw away a few of your old files yesterday. The ones about the incident with Love Handle."

Kenji looked to Sakuma in surprise.

"Those were the reports I sent into OZ on what happened. Oh, and it is 'Love Machine' not 'handle.'" he corrected. Arinna didn't reply and stared at the screen.

"Why did you throw them away?" Kenji asked.

"I didn't need them anymore. They are stored in OZ's history files anyway and were taking up space on my computer that I needed. Besides, it's not like I really need them anymore with Love Machine long gone." Sakuma answered.

"Oh, I guess that is true." Kenji nodded, still not completely liking the idea of throwing those files away. Speaking of Love Machine, it reminded him of his bizzare dream he just had.

What was up with that? He hadn't had dreams like that for a long while. Sure he had him the first week after defeating Love Machine, but that was to be expected.

To think he would have one now after these past two years? It was strange, and a little disturbing.

"You gonna get that?"

Kenji looked to Sakuma when he suddenly spoke up. "Huh?"

"What are you spacing out for man?" Sakuma smirked. "You got an e-mail, your phone is buzzing."

Looking down at his phone in his hands, Kenji blinked to find that it was buzzing… and really starting to tickle his hands. Opening, he blinked to find it was from OZ.

"OZ?' he questioned.

"Oh, you're in trouble." Arinna and Sakuma joked.

"EH?!" Kenji gawked at them, not getting the joking tone they were using. "I am? Oh no. I didn't do anything! Oh, but what if I did?" he whispered. "I'm so dead!"

"Dude, calm down. Just open the text." Sakuma chuckled.

Taking a deep breath, Kenji opened his phone to see a large attachment. Clicking open, he brought the attachment up on his computer and tilted his head.

They were Data files and reports for OZ. OZ wanted him to go over them and check to see if they could remain safe, in case a hacker came in. Which implied that he would have to go over the encryption locks for the files, which always took forever. Looking towards the bottom of the attachment, Kenji's eyes widened to see that the deadline to finish all of these was Three days.

Going through them would take forever!

"Aw man." Kenji ran his fingers through his hair. "I can't finish this in three days. There are too many files."

Looking over his shoulder Sakuma whistled. "Good luck buddy." He patted Kenji's back.

"What? You aren't even going to help me out?" Kenji whined to his friend.

"Hey, don't look at me." He shrugged, moving back to his own computer.

"Come on Sakuma, help me out." Kenji pleaded. "I have to head with Natsuki to her Grandma's house tomorrow morning. I wont be able to find much time to go through these files."

"Ask Arinna. She can help you." Sakuma answered simply

"I don't want to impose, she has enough to do as it is." Kenji looked at his feet.

"You wouldn't be imposing." Sakuma shook his head.

"Uh… I'm right here, ya know." Arinna sighed at the two. Looking at Kenji, she smiled. "I'd be happy to help Kenji, but most of those files require the programs on your computer to open. Not to mention the files that require your access code." She reminded him.

"Ah, you're right…" he lowered his head in defeat. "I guess it is a no go then, huh?"

"Well, it would work out if I could be sitting next to you when working on the files." Arinna shrugged. "But as you said, you are leaving tomorrow morning."

Her words didn't comfort him. "Yeah."

"Then just go with him." Sakuma spun around in his spinning chair to look at them.

"What?" Arinna gawked at him. "I can't do that. That right there, would be imposing." She pointed to him.

Slowly lifting his head, Kenji's eyes beamed with hope. "W-Wait, maybe you can!' he squeaked. His two friends turned to him in surprise.

"…Huh?" Arinna blinked

"You can come with Natsuki and me tomorrow. We can get the files done by the dead line and then you can head home when you are finished." Kenji announced.

Blinking, Arinna titled her head. "Uh… I got no problem going on a little road trip with your girl friend and you, Kenji. But… yeah, as you said, you are going to Natsuki's grandma's house for a family thing. I don't think they would be too happy with a stranger coming."

"Oh wait, I don't think you know this family, do you?" Sakuma spoke up, pointing to Arinna. "They might just be cool with it."

"Yeah." Kenji nodded his head wildly in agreement.

"Really?' Arinna gawked at them both. "But um-"

Before Arinna could get out another word, Kenji was calling Natsuki. When she picked up, he quickly explained the situation.

"You want Arinna to come?" Natsuki questioned

"Yeah." Kenji said nervously.

"Oh well, that is fine. If this is about work then it can't be helped. The more the merrier." His girl friend laughed. "As long as she is fine with it."

With a relieved and happy smile Kenji looked to Arinna hopefully. Blinking, she rubbed the back of her head, surprised that this was happening so suddenly.

"Uh… I mean, I'm cool with coming, but I got a problem." She said slowly.

"What's that?" Kenji blinked.

"Well, I got my siblings."

"Siblings?" Sakuma and Kenji questioned.

Arinna sent Sakuma an un-amused look. "You know, my two little siblings."

"Oh, right. You little brother and sister." Sakuma leaned back on his chair to rub his chin. "It should be fine, right? They aren't in school right now. It is Summer break. Since you have to watch them, you can watch them there."

Blinking Kenji looked at Arinna, not knowing she had to baby sit her two little siblings. "I'm… sure they can come with."

Arinna almost laughed. "You really want me to help you with this, don't you?" she chuckled.

"Yes." He cried out desperately. "I really do!"

"Kenji?" Natsuki asked, still on the phone with him.

"Oh, sorry Natsuki. Arinna has two younger siblings whom she needs to watch, and she can't leave them alone."

"If that is the problem they can come too. All my little cousins are coming. So if she wants, her siblings could play with them while you two work."

"Really?" Kenji sniffed.

"Yeah of course. Arinna is welcome anytime. She is like a sister to me too."

Kenji looked to Arinna, hoping that she heard that. Blinking in surprise, Arinna slowly let out a sigh.

"Well-" she smiled. "I guess I don't really have a choice. I'm coming with ya."

"Oh thank you thank you thank you thank you." Kenji fell to his knees, bowing to her.

"Do you have no pride man?" Sakuma sighed at his friend.

"Oh, and thank you too Natsuki." Kenji smiled into the phone, completely ignoring what Takashi said.

"Haha, any time Kenji. Just don't be late tomorrow. We are meeting where we always do."

"Oh okay, see you then."

"See ya." With the Natsuki hung up. With a happy smile, Kenji looked up to Arinna, who blinked down at him.

"Okay so… road trip." She nodded.

"More like awesome vacation." Sakuma corrected.

"Oh, jealous?" Arinna asked, mocking his voice of when he first came into the room. He pouted, lifting his pencil up to his nose to balance it there.

"No comment."

Kenji and Arinna laughed.

"Okay then, we leave tomorrow, right?" Arinna asked after a good laugh.

"Yeah." Kenji nodded. "The train leaves at 8;30, so you should probably get there at 8. Met me at the front gate and then we can go meet Natsuki inside."

"Roger that." Arinna nodded, lifting out a sharpie and writing herself a reminded on her arm.

"You know it's bad to write on your arm. Could cause some skin disease or something." Sakuma said, glancing at her from balancing his pencil.

She shrugged. "Haven't got skin poisoning yet."

"Could still happen." He shrugged back.

Kenji chuckled at the two. "Again, thank you so much Arinna."

"No problem-" she paused. "Ah, I should probably go tell my sibs we are leaving tomorrow." She gasped, lifting her head.

"Yeah, they probably need to know that." Sakuma snickered.

Grabbing her laptop, Arinna gave the boys a peace sign as she rushed for the door. "See ya boys!"

"See ya." They waved back

When she left, Kenji let out a sigh of relief, happy that he wouldn't have to go through all those files alone.

Yet, he was worried. He knew how the Jinnouchi family could get sometimes. He just hoped Arinna and her siblings would get too freaked out in the crazyness that was quickly approaching.

JAJA! And we are done with chapter one! I was a little worried at first, but I'm feeling better now that this chapter is up! YAY!

Hope you all like it! Especially you Gabby1234!
OH HEY HEY! For all of you who have read my TMNT fanfics, did you get the little joke I put in there? The joke about Arinna's Avatar being a 'Ninja Turtle?" XD I couldn't resist putting that in there, I just couldn't XD HAHAHA
