Dawn was a boy that loved video games, Yes, I know. Dawn is a girl name, but I don't care, especially MMORPGS. He couldn't wait for the game Sword Art Online came out. His friend, Silica, and him were going to play together at least 1 time everyday.

"I can't wait for SAO to come out." Silica said excited

"That's why we are first in line for it." I replied

She nodded and looked foward. "The first VRMMORPG, just thinking about it makes me love it even more."

I chuckled. "Silly Silica, oh how I love to be with you."

"Stop calling me Silly Silica."

"Not my fault about what happened when we were kids."

Silica did something silly, but I can't remember, Don't worry, Dawn MIGHT remember it later. We loved joking around.

"How's Pina?"

"She's is fine. Thanks for asking, no one usually asks about her."

"You know I care about you and her."

"Thanks!"

The door opened and we walked inside. "Get us a place in line, I'll go grab SAO."

She nodded and rushed to the counter. I ran to where SAO was at and grabbed two copies of it. I ran as fast as I can to Silica. I got to Silica as she was waiting at the counter and I gave her a copy. I paid for both of them and we rushed out. We looked right behind us as we see a swarm of people at the counter. I smiled and looked forward. We took our normal shortcut that we take when we go home from school. Silica was 12 years old, Starting at the Aincrad Arc, I was also 12 years old. We were about the same height, me being a little bit taller than her. We lived right next to each other, so our parents were familiar with each other. Silica stopped suddenly.

"What's wrong?" I asked her. She pointed forward where there was a shadow. My mom being paranoid of me getting kidnapped or hurt, gave me a karambit knife. I pulled it out and Silica backed away from me.

"Get behind me." I said. I gave her my game and held my karambit knife steady.

"Who are you?" I shouted at the figure. I started to step forward. The figure didn't move or talk. As I got closer the figure began to disappear. "Run." I said as we ran forward. We got to our street and looked right behind us. There were men standing there begging for us to come back. I looked at Silica, grabbed her arm and ran to our houses. I panted and turned around.

"Good, they, aren't, following, us." I said panting.

"Yea, thank, you."

"No, problem." I replied

"See you in SAO?" I asked

"Yea!" Silica said

We stepped into our houses and got our NerveGear's on. "Link Start." I said.

I begin to sign in and created my character.
