Victoria sighed as she got up, first thing in the morning. She quickly got dressed in a pair of black skinny jeans that fitted around her hips easily and had a medium brown colored belt through the loops. She also wore a black tank top with a black sweater with silver skulls all over it zipped up over top. She slowly pulled on her black sneakers with her purple laces before stretching.

Victoria's room was average sized. She had white walls with two black stripes that seemed to connect even through the changing walls and doors. In one corner of her room, to the left of the door was a pure black desk with various things scattered on top of it. Some of those things included a small green Geometry book, an envelope with your best friends posting address on it, a empty ensure bottle, and empty can of coke, a big black hard cover book with the title, "THE ELEMENTS. A Visual Exploration Of Every Known Atom In The Universe." Written in big white lettering on the cover. Inside the book there was a notebook and pen from where she had been taking notes on it lats, and scattered beside and on top of this marvelous book was various different birthday cards.

'My god, I hate my birthday.' Victoria found herself thinking. It was true, she did hate it sometimes. She always received bright pink birthday cards with bribe money inside from her sisters friends. She despised the color pink. It was so bright, and cheerful. It made her sick. She loved her world of darkness.

On the right side of the desk was an attached very sturdy shelf that had a hamster cage with a pure white hamster sleeping soundly inside. Underneath the shelf was a cubby with a cupboard underneath. She had a wonderful system set in place. Movies behind and TV shows in the front. Except for the TV shows that she had collected in an expansion pack set with all the seasons. Those went in the small cupboard underneath.

She picked up the birthday package she had received from John, one of her only friends. He had sent her a white card with black bunnies on it with a brand new skull bracelet, pentagram necklace, and Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword Game Guide.

She slowly turned to admire one of her many posters, it was her trusty Legend of Zelda, Skyward Sword poster, taped up on the left hand side of her closet door. On the right hand side was a Lost Prophets poster, and beside it three more posters, Once Upon A Time, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and another Zelda poster.

She grabbed her black laptop with the Hylian Royal Family Crest sticker on the back of the screen. She set it down on her bed and quickly flicked it on, only to immediately receive a pester from John.

EB: hi victoria! happy birthday!

AN: Sup, Johnny Boy.

EB: you seem to be in a good mood today.

AN: Yeah. I look bad ass in this outfit.

EB: i tried to convince rose and jade to unblock you but they said no. :(

AN: Eh. I've gotten enough chums crowding my chum list. I don't need those two being all fucking pissy at me for being my normal bitchy self.

AN: My god. Nobody is leaving me alone today.

AN: Their all with the congratulations.

AN: So I've fucking turned thirteen. So what? Big fucking whoop.

EB: heh. so um, here's the thing. there's this new game that just came in through the mail and it looks like so much fun! you ordered it, remember?

AN: Fuck. I was hoping you'd forgotten about that. Fine. I've got nothing to do today anyway. I'll go do that now and keep you posted.

EB: sure. i'll connect to you when you're ready.

AN: Alright.

She sighed as she held the Sburb beta disc in her hand and eyes it critically. She shrugged nonchalantly. "It's now or never." She commented as she inserted the game into her computer.

Waiting for server to establish connection..." She rolled her eyes before she decided food was worth the risk of running into you severely disturbed, anti-social, fuck ass of a sister. She grabbed her plastic halloween black and green battle ninja sword just in case and crept down the stairs, ready for anything that might strik-

She was cut off from her deadly and dramatic train of thought as he computer beeped. She spun round' and darted back over to it, leaping though the air to land on the bed.

She ignored John's desperate attempt to contact her and simply hit enter without a second thought. It's like she always said. Don't get caught in the fire unless your prepared to deal with the flames. A dumb analogy, to be sure, but...affective.

A large variety of different loading words passed before her eyes as it loaded, the original gate that had appeared changing shape, color and form as beautiful music hit her ears.

She let a small smile spread across her face as she tied her hair long black hair up into a ponytail, her light brown eyes narrowing mischievously as it finished loading causing one word to dance across her screen in big bold Green lettering.

"SBURB."
