This….Is the story of how I died…

Justin: Oh don't even start with that…

Fine you fun buster. Disclaimer time outta the way :) I in NO WAY own Tales of Vesperia, the Tales Series, any other animes and songs that may or may not be referenced or sang, Caryn, and Justin. I only own myself, Kairi, and this fanfiction, but since it follows the Vesperia plot their quotes and stuff in game aren't mine…Disclaimers are boring, it should be obvious what a person owns and not owns when writing a FAN FICTION DX

Caryn: Well you still have to do it, and now that your 2 week Vegas/California Vacation got cancelled, you have no excuse to not do this fan fiction until late August now :)

You hate me so much don't you…

Caryn: I love you!~ XD

Yup figured XD Parenthesis are thoughts and italics are telepathic communication.

Waking up at 5 in the morning just wasn't my thing, but here I am, awake, why? "I'll be back late and your brother has work at 9 a.m., if you get hungry there's left over grilled chicken in the fridge," my dad was explaining to me, "and if you need anything while I'm gone call me ok?" My father has a responsibility to take my mom to her doctor's appointments, only thing is: we live here up near Dallas and she lives near Waco, the poor guy has a two hour drive to get to my mom's house and an hour drive to take her to her doctor, and all because the government threatened to penalize her disability check and other things if she were to try to move up here with us. It was such a pain in the ass, but it had to get done, with a yawn and a wave I bid my dad farewell as he drove out the car port and away down the street, locking the door behind me to go back to bed until 9 a.m. when I knew I'd get that inevitable knock on my door from my little brother that time.

1 p.m., that's what my Yuri Lowell alarm clock told me when I opened my eyes after hearing Toriumi talk about Brave Vesperia having to work hard today and that if I didn't wake up Repede would eat my food; thankfully my brother hadn't knocked on my door to wake me up at 9 a.m., but I had overslept a bit. After a quick shower, teeth and hair brushed, still in my teal nightie refusing to change clothes, a hearty plate of white rice along with some grilled chicken, I was good for the day! To do what…..? "Ugh, what do I even wanna do today? It's so boring around here and we're in a city gosh darn it! It's too hot to even be outside despite all the clouds! There should be like at least 1 arcade in this city! Movie Theatre, don't feel like it! If I go to the mall or shops I'm just gonna wanna buy things and I have no cash on me!...GAH! AADGSFGHHHJJJKLLKLKUURFFFBBBB!," I began raging and flopped myself on the massive king sized bed we have in my craft room just in case when guests or family decide to stay over. Rolling around in frustration a while I stopped, let out a large sigh, and finally gave up, "I'll just skype Caryn, and call Justin over, maybe I'll play a game and get so caught up the time will pass by until I can sleep again…," I truly am a lazy human being. Just who am I? I am Liana Banda, and I send this message for all youth to hear…..don't grow up to be like me…

"HEY JUSTIN BUDDY!" I shouted into the phone, "WANNA HANG OUT AND PLAY VIDEO GAMES WITH ME TODAY :D!" Pained grunts could be heard on the other end of the phone before making me press my ear close to the phone to listen, unaware of the pain that was coming, "FUCKS SAKE WOMAN STOP SHOUTING!" Ah my ear drums were gonna hurt a while. 17 minutes later my doorbell rang and in came Justin who made himself comfortable on my couch, Caroline was on the screen of my laptop in the living room to chill with us, "So what we playing?," Justin asked. "I don't know, I don't have many 2 player games, what about Vesperia :D you can play as Estelle while I main Yuri!," my offer didn't sound too appealing to him at all, "Just how many times have you played that dang game Liana?" I sat thinking, "Ummmm, 11 times on Xbox 360 and about 4 times on the PS3," Justin shook his head, "You are seriously a Vesperia Junkie, but I bet people do worse than just 15 plays on a single game." I nodded in agreement, "So therefore we can play Vesperia :D!" "Rejected!" "We're playing XD!" "OBJECTION!" "UNOBJECT DX!" The back and forth lasted a while with Caroline laughing her ass off in the background. The storm outside brewed and it began to rain like no tomorrow, thunder clapping here and there, I'd hate to admit it, but I have a fear of thunderstorms; because, thunderstorms equal power outages, power outages equal black outs, black outs mean the darkness, and I was deathly terrified of being alone in the dark. Childish I know, but it was a fear I couldn't grow out of.

Shaking in my nightie I loaded Vesperia into my PS3, after much debate Caroline decided Vesperia was fun, mainly cause she just wanted to hear Flynn's voice, and Justin realizing I was getting scared with the storm gave in an agreed we could play to take my mind off the thunder. I was pathetic I knew, I just was lucky to have friends who understood and supported me rather than calling me out on my weaknesses and laughing at them. The title screen made me smile wholeheartedly seeing Yuri against the tree staring out at Zaphias with Repede, mainly because my OC Kairi was in love with Yuri, it wasn't me, no, if it was me, I'd admit I love Papa Nier from Nier Gestalt. That earned me an incredulous look from Kairi who had exited my head and appeared on my couch, no she isn't real, in fact, she looks like a ghost with her holographic appearance when I see her, and ever since I was young, I had no friends. So when I made a friend for myself, she was it, what I wanted as a friend, what I wanted to be, what I wished I could be; I suppose you could say she was like an imaginary friend, only that my mind was so far crazed I could see her. "Don't you give me that look," I told her with my mouth closed, "He treats Yonah so well, he may not be the best looking, but he's buff, he's tall, and a hell of a father! I'd definitely want to marry that!" She fell on the couch laughing, saying my face was like a tomato, (Ah shoot I was blushing for no reason and Justin is probably wondering why) turning my head I saw Justin giving me a look like I was on drugs or something, "You want to marry what now?" (Ah shit I said that last line aloud, way to go me….) I'm pretty sure right now I was shaming the most crimson red there can be in the world.

I shook my head and assured Justin it was a moment of temporal insanity and decided to do a new game and play from the beginning, seeing the familiar opening video, Caroline squealing when Flynn began talking about what could have happened to the town, Kairi softly leaning on the couch as it got to the part with Yuri on his window sill, the game began. "Ah it feels like forever since I played this," I said, my focus being taken off the storm outside and focusing on Ted informing Yuri of the Broken Aqua Blastia and to help fix it. Justin just sat pouting a bit, "You said you were playing this last week, how can it have been forever? Can't you skip dialogue, it's not like I understand Japanese, plus I'm not gonna get to play until there's 2 party members!"

I rolled my eyes and ignored his request and continued with the game, running up to the Royal Quarter to sneak into the mansion after being told not to by Hanks, only to be duped by a guy who looks like a mouse with his long whiskers and buck teeth, ah I played so much, I knew what was coming, but it didn't make it any less ridiculous to think of, and then came the tweedles to stop me. "It makes me wonder how these guys are knights. I mean I know the game needs some form of tutorial for things, but seriously think about it, these guys are pansies, wimps, and basically punching bags, how'd they get in? They don't look like nobles who paid to get in." I noted. "Dunno and don't care," Justin said, "just hurry up and let him get beat to a pulp by Cumore's squad and get in the castle to get Estelle." I huffed, "seriously I could take them all on, sure I sucked at combat in the first play through, but I know how to use Yuri now and I could wipe the floor clean of these creeps!"

As the sound of a beat down went on in the black screen that would soon show Yuri in the jail cell, a brilliant flash of light seemed to come from the window along with an ear rending BANG! My vision went white, Justin shouted colorful words, I could hear Caryn scream bloody murder from the computer screen at how loud the sound was, but something wasn't right. The bright light didn't just flash, it remained for what seemed like 4 minutes, Justin nor Caroline had said anything…I began to panic. "OMG I died didn't I, I am so dead, is this where souls go to wait to go to heaven or hell or am I just stuck? I DO NOT WANNA BE HERE FOR ETERNITY, I'M NOT READY FOR LIMBO!"

Just as I finished my rant gravity seemed to take me and I fell backwards as a sudden darkness enveloped the area, it was dark but I could make out a dark brick ceiling and wall, my sense returning as I heard voices "Ow! What the hell? What was that light? Hey! Where did you two come from?...Do you mind getting off me?" the first voice I heard spoke, it was a male voice, a very familiar male voice, "Ah I-I-I I'm so sorry! I mean we didn't know, I mean uhhhh ahhh sorry!" That next voice was a female voice, again familiar, the sounds of scurried movement along with her apologies filling my ears, I dared myself to sit up and my jaw hit the floor. I was staring at Yuri Lowell sitting up on his makeshift cell bed staring at me, Yuri Fucking Lowell was staring at me, and on the other side of the bed with pink cheeks, waving her hands as she frantically apologized seeming to have trouble finding any words….was my OC Kairi, not holographic, not a ghost, she was solid….no Justin in sight….what the hell is going on indeed.

Dun dun dun You have become level one :D now things are still messed up in my house so, ignore Caryn's line in the top stuff that Vacation may still go on, but maybe for a week rather than 2, gotta see how things go.
