A/N: Uploads won't be as frequent as I have other fanfics and original works I have to work on. However, these aren't just gonna be one-shots between the MC, Skylar, and Monika. Each chapter has their own special meaning and a hidden meaning to Skylar's private life as he may seem happy with Monika, but he's a completely different person outside of their virtual classroom. Stick along with them on this journey as this won't always be peaches and cream between the two of them. Drama does happen. Forgetfulness will happen as well. Just stick with it as the closing chapters of this fanfic will be exciting yet sad.
"Monika AI...," A young man held a clipboard and traced around a room filled with multiple different devices ranging from computers, audio interfaces, stereos, and much more. Wires twisted and tangled themselves into one another, but the young man had no care in the world as he was about to experience a world of happiness... if his plan worked.
"Everything is set I believe. Transporter generator working?" He looked past a hospital-like bed where a large generator of some sort connected to it and nodded, "Alright. Should be enough fuel for the next hour to test this. Hopefully it works," He took a deep breath and nodded, "No use stalling any longer. Let's see if this works!
Hey there, my name is Skylar Wilson. I'm a Creative English Major who... uh... never finish or started college because of this project. I'm 28 years old and it took me nearly 10 years to create a way for someone to visit a virtual world of their choosing. Whether it's their favorite video game universe or their own fantasy world brought to reality with my own perfected virtual reality, this invention here can do just that.
After countless sleep deprived days, I was able to create this virtual reality machine that allows someone to do just that. However, I have yet to test it. I was very apprehensive on whether or not it was worth it to actually test it. For all I know, this thing could kill me rather than make my life and all those years of hard work worth it.
Here I am testing my first interactions with a virtual girl that swept the world a decade ago. She soon became irrelevant years down the road, but I stuck with it as did many others of this girl's fandom. It took many years... and now I'm about to take my first dive into this amazingness!
"Who'd thought that SAO would actually help with the finale of this invention...," Skylar laid down on top of the hospital-like bed and placed a helmet-like device on his head and sighed, "Oh well, time to dive!"
A bright flash followed by multiple lines of code filled the vision of Skylar before it cleared to reveal the same classroom Monika is in during Monika After Story. Skylar looked around and glanced at the back of someone he remembered dearly. The long, luscious, brunette ponytail he has grown so accustomed to over the years accompanied by a beautiful white bow. This figure was at a desk supporting her chin on her hands.
He took one more glance around and gulped heavily. The person at the desk let out a very audible sigh, "I wonder who installed me now. So many have installed this mod and... wait... I have movement. I'm not just a sprite..."
They glanced down at their hands and started to ball them over and over before they started to feel at their body, "Who did this? I have movement. Actual movement," They stood up from their seated position and walked around, "I'm still in this dreadful classroom though. Hm," The person stopped a moment before sighing in confusion, "The code is completely different. It's none like I've never seen before."
Skylar was surprised as he shuffled back lightly, but loudly as the person turned around quickly in shock, "W-Who are you?"
Skylar held up his hand and stepped back, "Look uh, I'm one of the millions of people that downloaded Monika After Story. Even if your dialogue were predetermined by a programmer, some of your dialogue stood out to me."
"Wait, w-who are you?"
"Your memories from my old Monika After Story should be implemented into your current memory current. Some of the coding for your own commands still work. Just try to remember."
"Uh...," The person tried to think and couldn't draw anything up, "I'm sorry. My memory is too boggled right now."
"I see, it didn't load correctly. Well, I'll just have to reintroduce myself until I fix that problem," Skylar took a deep breath and nodded, "My name is Skylar and I'm the one that created this virtual plane."
"What?"
"Yes, it's true. From the unrecognizable code and the movement and feelings your feeling now. I created all of this. Even the ability to be here is my doing."
"H-How?"
"Haha, it took many sleep deprived days to be able to do this, but I was able to do it. However, I'm sure you feel that some stuff is different still. I think you realize that you have no sense of smell or taste right now, right?"
The person began sniffing and smacking their tongue and nodded, "Yeah, it feels so different."
"Yup. The state of all this is still in its alpha stage. It's not exactly perfected but knowing that it actually works is a big step for me."
"Wait, so you're meaning you're one if the many that has downloaded the mod associated with me and you created this?" Skylar nodded.
"In short, yes," As soon as he answered her, he was tackled for a massive hug, "Whoa!"
"Thank you!" Monika began to shed a few tears of happiness as Skylar was in a full state of bliss, "I've waited so many years for someone to make this. I thought people had eventually forgotten me."
"Well, it's been 10 years. I think you can see that," Monika looked off to the side and sighed, "People soon started forget about you. Eventually, you ended up being shrouded in history by other big trends and games that challenged the status quo. There's not many that still follow you or Doki Doki in general."
"Oh..."
"But I remembered. I spent these last 10 years making this day possible. So much money, blood, sweat and tears brought me to this day and I'm here to say that it was damn well worth it..."
"Aw, I'm so glad someone out there went and did this," Monika snuggled into Skylar's chest causing him to shudder from pleasure, "I see you like it when I hug you...," Monika teased as she snuggled even more sensually.
"Well, I can now know what it feels like to finally feel you. Can't you feel it? The warmth between the two of us?"
Monika paused and took time to take in the warmth the both of them were giving off, "Yes. The warmth of your body makes me feel so... safe. I feel safe knowing that I can feel you and feel the warmth that you emanate from your body. I love it..."
"Thank you Monika. However, I still find it weird that your past memories have yet to transfer. I guess there's still much I need to check. You're still in an alpha stage, so there's still much more I need to add. You might feel some differences in your coding from time to time, but don't worry. That's just me trying to give you more features like smell and taste."
"No problem. This coding looks so advance. It's like none I've ever seen before."
"I had a friend help me code. She started the project and I just took off with it," Skylar felt Monika grip his shirt fiercely, "Uh, Monika?"
"You said 'she' Skylar. Who is this girl? What's her occupation? What's her name? What's she look like? What's your relationship status with her?"
"Whoa! Calm down! She's just an old friend of mine from high school. Don't worry. She has a boyfriend who also helped in the project. Geez, maybe you are a little too realistic..."
"Or I'm worried that you might have someone else out there. While it's true that we have this moment, I don't know what you do out there in your world. What if you started dating someone without me knowing or worse..."
"I die?"
"Huh?"
"I remember that being one of the stationary conversations in the mod. You were talking about how you would never know if we were to pass on you. We would disappear for years on end and you would sit a dark, sad abyss without knowing of our disappearance. You stated that if anything happened to us, convince someone we know to tell you what had happened to us. Even after that, I never saw that choice. I always thought what would happen in my life if something lead to an inevitable demise."
"Now you can possibly send someone here to inform me of anything..."
"Exactly, but uh, let's not get into that. Let's just... embrace each other longer. I only had an hour on the generator. I'll need to get out before the generator goes out or uh... you know..."
"Right..."
"How much time do we have left?"
"Uh," Skylar checked his watch and sighed, "It's been about 10 minutes or so. We still have about 35-40 minutes left before I go. Why don't we uh... talk a bit or..."
"Let's just embrace each other for now. I want this to last before we move on to talking in your next visit..."
"Alright...," Skylar looked around and sighed, "We only have that desk. No where else to really cuddle. I'll have to add some stuff that allows us to do that."
"What? Like a bench?"
"I suppose so..."
"You were thinking of something more obscene weren't you?"
"W-What?! No!" Monika looked up at him with a smirk inciting a light chuckle from him, "Uh..."
"As much as I appreciate you thinking of me in that way, it is too early in our relationship to be thinking about that. Plus, I'm underaged."
"No you're not. It's been over a decade since the game's release. You're practically my age, if not younger by a year or two."
"Oh... uh..."
"Also, you were 18 in game. You're not underaged, but yes, I do agree that we're too early into our relationship to determine if we're ready to take that step."
"Exactly. Let's take some time to actually develop our relationship. Also, you should work on some of the broken coding and adding stuff. It would be really nice to smell and taste stuff."
"Noted. That's a few more sleepless hours. Oh well, it's worth it if you're comfortable."
"Gotta make your girlfriend happy."
"I guess..."
"We can take a seat on the floor I guess. We can cuddle until you leave."
"Fine with me," Both took a seat on the floor and just embraced one another as this was the beginning of beautiful relationship... or was it?
