SilverGoldCrystal3: That's a very good idea!
Romantic Sloth: I have to agree! I wrote this story when I was having a very bad day so I guess I projected on Star a little bit! Thanks for the compliment!
Bravo107: Thank you very much!
Lupus Boulevard: She definitely can! But in my opinion, everyone even someone as strong as Star can be overpowered. And everyone can feel alone and powerless. Thank you for your compliment!
deadshoot12345: thank you!
MaFx98: Thank you! I tried to make it a little sad! Thanks for telling me how to make author notes by the way!

Here we go! I wrote this in 1 hour! Enjoy! It may be a little cheesy but I hope you like it!
"+100 EXP +54 Gold Level Up!"
Marco smiled at his raise in level. Grinding for many hours he finally made it to level 47 in his favorite MMORPG. Leaning back into his chair he let out a sigh, stretching his arms over his head. The door of his apartment slammed as his roommate got home. He was about to call out to say hi, but her door closed with a slam before he got the chance. He sighed in annoyance.
"Stella has logged in!" The computer let out a noise as his girlfriend was now online.
Marco jumped up happily, opening the chat box to send her a message. Typing furiously he looked over his message carefully before hitting send.
"Marth: Hey Stella! How was your day at school?"
"Stella is typing…"
Star threw her bag onto her bed, sighing in frustration. Today's classes took so long! She was happy to be able to relax. Pushing herself into her chair, she spun around in slow circles, before stopping in front of the computer and typing her username into the game.
"Marth is online!"
Her eyes grew wide as she let out a squeal of excitement. I didn't miss him! We can talk today! She thought as she opened the chat box to read his message.
"Stella: Ugh it was awful! But talking to you has made it a million times better!"
"Marth is typing…"
He felt his cheeks warm up at the message, a goofy smile gracing his face as he began typing.
"Marth: I'm sorry your day was bad! But I'm glad that I could make my princess happier!"
Marco laughed out loud, hoping that she would enjoy his message again. They had been dating for about a year online. Neither of them knew what the other looked like
in real life. They didn't know each other's real names. Marco didn't care. Just to have someone like Stella, made him happier than you could imagine.
"Stella is typing…"
She squealed happily yet again, her heart beating fast at how ecstatic she was. She really really really liked Marth. They had so much in common. Well in the case of interests. All they knew about their real lives were their ages. She heard a laugh come from her roommates room across the hall.
"Stella: Omg Marth you're too sweet! And of course you make me happier! Nothing in the world could make me happier than talking to you!"
She hit send on the message, before pushing away from the table and grabbing a pillow. Thrusting her face into it she let out yet another happy squeal as she spun around in circles.
"Marth is typing…"
Marco heard a squeal come from the other room and he sighed. She's probably talking to her boyfriend or something. He thought as he read the message. The smile on his face grew tenfold as his heart rate picked up speed.
"Marth: Oh man, you're making me blush lol. So do you want to go on a quest today? Or just go grind and talk?"
He stretched his back upward as he turned to grab his glass of water. Taking a small sip of it he turned to look at the screen.
"Stella: I'd love to go on a quest with you, my prince!"
He smiled as he moved to add her to his party.
"Marth: Are you ready?"
Star let out a love struck sigh. He's so kind. She sighed as she began typing.
"Stella: Of course! There's a dragon on Mountain Korgo if you want to go take that on!"
She had been trying to take on that dragon for weeks! Marth was never on when she was, so she was excited to try and beat it with her boyfriend by her side.
"Marth: Oh yeah! I heard that there's some secret treasure up there! Ready to go?"
Star smiled at his message, her namesake fluttering in her stomach.
"Stella: As long as you are my prince."
He loved when she called him that. It made him so happy. He really loved her. He swiftly summoned a horse, and pressed the command to pull Stella on it with him.
"Marth: So how did that test in Spanish go today?"
Marco asked as he directed the horse towards the mountain, the steed going at top speeds.
Star giggled. His messages always making her feel flustered, even when they weren't romantic, she sighed, opening her menu and setting her magic sword in the weapons slot.
"Stella: I think I did ok! I'm a little nervous though! I didn't understand the conjugations."
"Marth: Well if you'd like I could tutor you. Spanish is my second language."
Star couldn't help the silly grin on her face as she began typing. He was too nice.
"Stella: That would mean the world to me Marth."
Star sighed, crossing her arms over her chest as she looked down. She was deep in love with Marth and she really wanted to meet him in real life. But he probably lived on the other side of the world. As a college student, there was no way she could afford a trip to see him.
"Marth is typing…"
The conversation went on for hours, as the young couple made their way up the mountain, fighting monsters as they talked about silly things.
Marco's eyes grew wide at seeing his health bar. He had been so busy talking to Stella that he hadn't even noticed that he wasn't healing.
"No no no no!" Marco whispered as he tried to grab a health potion from his menu. It was too late. A monster came up from behind and took a swing at him, knocking his 12 out of 400 HP down to 0. His character fell to the ground in a dramatic sweeping motion, as Marco threw his arms into the air.
"No! Stella! She's going to die up there without me!" He yelled into the air as he attempted to respawn at the closest village.
Star gasped as she saw Marth fall to the ground. He must have run out of HP! She thought as she began setting up a shield around his items, making sure none of the monsters destroyed them.
"No! Stella! She's going to die up there without me!" Her roommate shrieked from the other room.
Star jumped up, her eyes wide at the sound of her online aliases name being yelled by her friend. Rushing over to the door she pulled it open at top speeds. Rushing across the hall she threw open the door to her roommates room.
Marco whipped his head around, seeing his roommate standing there, a shocked look on her face.
"Oh Hey Star. What's up?" He asked, not stopping running to the mountain.
Star looked over his shoulder, seeing the game on his screen. It can't be… She thought as she walked closer, to read the name above his character.
Marth.
She opened her mouth slowly trying to make the words come out of her mouth. She didn't know what to say.
"Marco? Y-you're…. you're Marth?"
Marco turned to look over his shoulder, his eyebrow raised in confusion. "Yeah? What about it?"
Star slowly fell to the ground, her arms wrapping around herself. "M-My prince? Lives in the same house as me?"
His face turned white, pausing the game, and turning to look at her.
"S-Star what do you mean?" He asked quietly, his eyes wide and his jaw dropped.
Star was so happy, tears streaming down her cheeks as she hugged herself.
"Marth, It's me! Stella!" She cried out, her cheeks red as she stared at the ground.
Marco felt his heart stop. Standing up he moved to stand in front of her, falling to his knees, his hands on her shoulders.
"Stella? It's you?" He whispered, tears forming in the corners of his eyes.
She threw herself towards him, burying her face in his chest.
"I can't believe it… I can't believe it...:" She mumbled into his chest as she grasped at his hoodie.
Marco stroked her hair softly, his mind moving a mile a minute.
She pulled back quickly. Her eyes bright as she stared at him.
"Marth! No… Marco! I've wanted to meet you for so long!"
Smiling, he placed his hands around her face, hoping this wasn't a dream.
"Stella… Star… So have I."
"I love you!" Both of them shouted at the same time. The two of them smiled at each other, before Star threw herself at him, her lips crashing into his as they fell to the ground together.
The two gamers, that fell in love in a video game.
They thought that they would never meet.
They thought they lived on the other side of the world.
It turns out, they lived on the other side of the hall.
These two nerds were going to be happy for the rest of their lives. As Stella and Marth, and Star and Marco.
