"Noooooo! This damn…bitch"

"Language carrot!"

„Shut up! Just…someone get the fucking sniper!"

„On it! Where is he?"

„The yellow building…the YELLOW ONE!"

…

„Got him."

„NO!...what?..."

- Your Party won the Game -

„YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

„WOOOOHOOOO!"

„FUCK YES, BITCH! Get what you deserve."

„GunGirl, your so over the top…"

„Oh, come one. You would be pissed off too."

"Sorry guys, I have to go. Tomorrow will be another test. You should leave as well, Negi-chan. Or did you finished your report?"

"No fun, Icy…."

"Tomorrow is Friday. We can play through the night then."

"….okay, bye everyone."

"Bye."

"Byebeee."

"See you tomorrow."

"Good luck."

"See ya."

„Bye bye! And do your best!"

I ended the voice chat and finally put my headset down. With a tired sigh I leaned back and looked at the time…I really don't feel like studying but well…I have to. So I got up from my desk and sat on my bed for a 'nice' study session. Meanwhile I was thinking back at our game play today. Gungirl can be so chaotic at times…and it's not helping when PurpleSamurai calls her 'carrot'. I laugh silently at this memory. Okay, focus Kaito. This grade is important.

The next day was awfully uneventful. I wrote my test and nearly fell asleep thanks to my very interesting history teacher. Best part of the day always will be break time.

I went straight to the rooftop and was already greeted by my teal haired best friend. „Kaito! Finally! Let's eat." Always so excited…but that's why I love her so much. I set myself right next to her. „Yesterday was a blast, we totally killed those guys." She laughed referring to yesterday's game. „Well we lost OrangeJuice, PinkTako and GunGirl." Which kinda sucked because PinkTako was our Healer. „Hey! RedWarrior was with us so losing was no option." Oh yeah, she was so silent when playing. A little like me, but then she could suddenly roar like a Tiger…like out of nowhere. The first time it happened I was slightly scared.

„….true. But the final Hit was from BananaJuice." Miku laughed. „Revenge for his sisters dead! Even though PurpleSamurai nearly died because Bananas Special took so long." „Yeah, but it's pretty op. So a weakness is needed." But it really needs ages to prepare. So he can rarely use it. „You are such a fair nerd." She sighed, I just laughed it off. I am just a nice gamer, who appreciates nice balancing in Game play and Characters.

„Sooo, you really won't come tomorrow?" Ah, this again. Our party exists for quite some time now and we became friends in no time. Voice chats where nothing new while online gaming so it was only natural to use them for better team play.

It ended up in us talking for ages at some days without even thinking about starting a game. That's how we realized we all life somewhere in Tokyo and at some point we tried to find a date where everyone was free for a meet-up. Everyone but me…

„You know I can't…my father would never allow me to…" She looked at me sadly. Miku knew what I was talking about. „And what about sneaking out?" I looked at her and she pressed her lips in a thin line.

My face was probably reflecting my unhappiness about the memories of our last failed attempt to sneak out. This fucked up guilt trip my father always used on me was downright awful. „No…" It would be worth it…if I just knew how to succeed.

She sighed. I know I was disappointing everyone but I told them to do it without me. I even begged them. We could still meet next time…or…another time…after next time…right?

The bell rung. Miku and I had to part and go to our classes. School will be as boring as always. But it's Friday, so I may will have an exciting night?

„Good Night, Red!"

„See you tomorrow, Red."

„Yeah, don't stay up to long, guys."

She yawned again and finally closed her video chat. Now me and PurpleSamurai where the only ones left.

„Shouldn't you go to sleep as well?" I asked with a smile he can't see. „Naw, we don't meet that early. Do not forget half of us are university students." He said pushing his bangs back. I like him doing that. „True…so…you really meeting tomorrow, huh?"

I want to go…I want to go so bad right now. I mean I wanted to go the whole time! Just…he was the person I really wanted to meet the most. We just…get along so well, in-game and out of games. Despite him being a university student and I being still a High schooler. He never treated me like a kid.

„Yeah…I can't believe it will happen…finally. Still…there will be something missing." Don't say that. „Did you lost something?" He laughed at this and did not said anything further. He never pushed this topic and always stopped the others from doing so.

„Well, maybe the webcam fairy will visit you." What a stupid joke. I laughed anyway. I have a webcam… I even have two. Both working but…I just can't use them. It's easier for me with just voice chatting. I told everyone my webcam died and I can't afford a new one because there was a more important matter I save money for…which was not even a lie!

„A fairy? Really? Go to bed, mister. You need to sleep." He sighed. I was right. „You go too?" Well, with him offline there was nothing left for me to stay awake for. „Yeah, I still have to recover from all the screaming today." He rolled his eyes. „Urg, yeah. Today really escalated quickly." He fake-shuddered. That was kinda cute. „Well, good night then. Have a nice dream, IceCreamDragon." „Thanks, you too, PurpleSamurai." He waved me and I waved back…unseen. Then the call ended.

I leaned back and looked at my ceiling. Today was such a scream-fest. Everyone was shouting at some point even PinkTako and she was such a…well-behaved person. I think everyone was just overly excited for tomorrow. Can't blame them.

I hope Miku will tell me everything and if Purple really punished GunGirl for today's escalation. He threatened to and the possibility is high because they know each other from University. As far as I remember they became to know each other because of PinkTako. GunGirl and PinkTako had a project together in a course they went to in first semester and PinkTako knew PurpleSamurai from High school. They were in the same class but have never been friends till GunGirl mixed in and forced everyone to play our game. Thank you, GunGirl.

OrangeJuice and BananaJuice were siblings and the youngest. They just started High school. We went through all the tears and frustration with them. All the school end exam and school entrance exam where the initial reason we started to have days of just talking.

RedWarrior is the only one no one of us knew outside of the game in person. She just entered GunGirls Party on a whim. And yes, our party was founded by her. Since then she is our most powerful member. She also is kind of everyones mum-friend because she is the oldest. She just started her last year of university. I hope she will stay with us after getting a Job.

By the way Miku and I are nerds for a lifetime. She loved online games while I was more into consoles. But well…she just joined GunGirl after having a rather absurd conversation in the game chat…I don't remember what it was about anymore. I deleted all the screens related to it a long time ago…kinda regret that now. Long story short, Miku begged me to try the game and join the party…both happen….I regret nothing!

I smiled to myself and got up. Time to shut down the pc. Changed and inside my blanket I fell asleep. Sad….but with fond memories running through my head.
