A/N: This is my first ever fan fiction! If you've never watched Sword Art Online, stop reading this and go watch it now, it's amazing. Anyways, I hope you like it and I'm always open to suggestions! Enjoy! :)

Rose held the Nervegear in her hands, trembling as she put it on over her long jet-black hair.

"Don't worry!" Blade grinned at her. "You're not gonna die, remember? They fixed that."

"I remember, I'm just, uh, kinda nervous." Rose replied.

Rose was sitting next to Asuna on her bed. Kirito was leaning on the wall and his brother, Blade, was sitting in his computer chair.

"Do you really want to give this to me?" Rose asked. "I mean, it's brand new, and-"

"Relax." assured Asuna. "It's fine."

"Wow! Thanks so much!" Rose cried as she hugged her tight.

~At Rose's home

Rose was supposed to meet Kirito, Blade and Asuna in SAO at 8:00, and it was only 5:00. Time seemed to drag when she waited for something.

Finally, it was 8:00, and Rose logged in. Her username being Kanade, she wore a long red skirt and a red corset and her hair in a long ponytail, tied with a red ribbon.

"Hey, Blade! Where are the others?" she asked.

"Oh, they had some kind of BIG emergency with Asuna's dad, so they couldn't come. It's just you and me." he answered.

"Well, it's getting kinda dark so I think we should get a place to stay for the night." Rose suggested.

"Good idea." he said.

~At the hotel

As Rose was settling into the bed she heard a shuffling noise, like someone almost tripping.

"Did you hear that?" she said.

"Hear what?" Blade looked at her like she was crazy.

"Nothing. I must have heard wrong." she murmured. What she didn't know was how right she was about what she had heard.

A/N: This is just a little preview to see if you guys like it. If you're wondering why I rated it M, it's because I'm planning on adding some action if you know what I mean. *wink wink*;)
