"Jonathan! Its time to wake up for school!" a female voice shouted, waking Jonathan from his sleep, rolling over in his bed, "mmm…just five more minutes…" he muttered to himself, however his alarm clock sounded right at 8AM. Slowly sitting up from the loud noises, he turned to the clock and raised a hand and shut it off, only to hear his mother shut the door behind her. "Oh…right. There is that test today…" he said to himself as he climbed out of bed, and grabbed a towel and wandered to the shower. "I don't know why she's so upset…I wake up every weekday to go to school and I'm getting good grades…" after he was finished with his shower, he wandered back into his room, dried off and looked at his selection of clothes.
Looking through some piles of clean clothes, Jonathan found a blue long sleeved shirt along with a pair of baggy cargo pants. The shirt complemented his icy blue eyes, but didn't do much for his jet black hair, grabbing his book bag, he wandered downstairs, and came into the kitchen, and looked inside the fridge, only to find it was almost empty, "oh, right. Mom said she was going to go shopping later today…" Jonathan thought to himself as he grabbed his keys and wallet left the house, locking the door behind him. "All righty…off to college…"
Sitting at the desk, Jonathan listened to his professor drone on about variables and solutions, "ugh…I paid my whole paycheck to listen to this guy go on?" Jonathan thought to himself when he finally heard the teacher announce that they were all dismissed, gathering this things, Jonathan made his way out of the class room and outside, and started wandering to his car. "Hey John!" a male voice called out to him, causing him to turn around, "oh hey Mike, what's up?" Mike's mouth dropped, "what's up? Did you totally forget that the new AGES game just came out?" Jonathan put a hand to his chin, "oh…" thinking about it for a moment, "that's the online game right? The one that uses the new Virtual Reality headsets?" Mike nodded in excitement; "I'm running to the store to get it right now, you should get a copy too! That way, we can play together!"
Running off to his car, Mike gave a quick wave and got in, and drove away, "I wonder if that game is really what Mike says it is…" Jonathan thought as he got into his car, "well…he was right about that other game that he got me hooked on…" he said aloud and started his car, driving back into town and into a videogame store he frequently visited. Wandering through the isles, he finally found the game that Mike described. Picking up the game, he looked over the cover, showing various characters from the game and promptly flipped it over to the back. Reading over the case, he wandered to the counter, and looked around, "hello?" he asked, and someone came into his view from the right, a employee at the store, "uh…what have you heard about this game?" The employee was dumbfounded.
"You've never heard of this game? Its been the best selling game for the Virtual Reality headsets…we can't even keep it on the shelves…" the employee finished, pointing behind Jonathan who turned, to see many other people behind him with scowls on their faces; they ranged from the young to old. He slowly turned around and pulled out his wallet and found his bank card, and completed the transaction and quickly left the store, and looked over the game once more before getting into his car, "hm…the adventure of my life?" he read the front of the case and he laughed inside, "that's what they all say…" Jonathan said to himself and got into his car, driving back to his home.
Pulling into the parking lot, Jonathan got out of his car, unlocking the door to the apartment, he swiftly shut the door behind him, locking it and placed his keys and wallet on the table and looked over the game again. Shrugging his shoulders, he slipped off his shoes and wandered through the smaller space towards his room, and grabbed the virtual reality headset, which was simply a helmet that covered the eyes and ears along with a microphone, and he opened the game case and put the game disk into the headset's reader.
A/N: I know its a new story, like I said about my New Years resolution, Im gonna be working on alot of different stories all at the same time, it might cure me of my Writers Block I have for my Kingdom Heart stories right now. But like it says this story is going to be a Phantasy Star Online crossover with the .HACK series, Ive had this idea in my head for ever, and after talking to a few people about it on PSU, they all really liked the idea, so rather than letting it sit in my head, Im going to get it all written down. I hope you like the story!
