This is just an idea I had earlier this week. "What if my sister and I tried a VR game together?" However, I won't be using our names, lol. :) I hope you enjoy this fun story. I'm listening to I(heart)Radio while I write this. :)
Warning: I forgot to mention, but this story will have cussing. If you haven't noticed before, you will now. I'm sorry if that offends you. :( Boo, sorry... It's just my character and some others. And, Boo, sorry about my little dig at you here... You'll understand which part I mean. :)
Now, back to the story:
Chapter 4: The End of the Beginning
The teams were all fighting Illfang the Kobold Lord. Pyra got a few cuts in, but she was knocked to the side. She pulled herself up to her knees, and fired off a few arrows. She saw Ember throw knives at the floor boss and cut it with her glaive. Kirito and Asuna took turns cutting the boss and in a fury of cuts, Kirito defeated the boss. "Yes!" Pyra shouted.
Kibaou yelled. "He knew that the boss would change weapons to something different from what we were told! He has to be a Beta Tester!"
"Are you still on about that?!" Pyra hissed at the douchebag. "If you had any common sense, you'd have noticed that our leader knew what he was doing when he leapt to attack alone! Furthermore, you would have also felt that something was different. You're nothing but a -"
"Pyra," Ember interrupted. "Come on, he's not worth it." She led her sister to the door leading to Floor 2. "Let's get out of this dang game."
"Hahaha... Yes, Let's get out of the damn game." Pyra laughed. She and her sister left the Boss Room together, and took the first step to their future.
...
Pyra wouldn't ever tell her baby sister, but she was still hurting from having her teammates die in front of her or in her arms. A few months later, and it was still affecting her. If she didn't do a certain something to release the pain, she would still be an empty shell. Pyra saw her sister enter the restaurant where they were supposed to meet. She waved a hand at the NPC waiter, and he brought the pre-ordered drinks over to their table. "Hey, sis. Don't get mad about my choice of drink for you, please."
"It's alcoholic?" Ember asked, exasperatedly.
"Sort of."
"How is it 'Sort of'?" Ember shot back.
Pyra smirked. "Alcoholic drinks in this game don't affect you at all." Her smirk widened. "There isn't any alcohol in these alcoholic drinks. Just think: It's a virgin, just like you."
Ember stared at her sister for a moment. "Well, at least I know you're back to normal." She glared. "Just don't say stuff like that again!"
"I'll try not to, but you know my mouth just runs off with me." Pyra laughed. "Alright. Here's to sisters, finding ourselves, and getting the heck out of this stupid game." She raised her pint.
Ember raised her pint. "Cheers."
"Salute," Pyra replied, clinking her pint against her sister's. Then she took a long drink. She had to frown, though.
"What? Does it taste bad?" Ember asked.
Pyra shook her head. "Tastes like tea... unsweetened tea."
Ember laughed and took a little sip from hers. "You're right!" She frowned. "Hmm. Oh well."
"Yes, oh well," Pyra replied. They sat and drank their drinks. "A few more months, and it will be a year since we got stuck in here. What level are you now?"
Ember sighed. "Level 43. I have also maxed out my cooking and armory skills."
"Wicked!" Pyra sipped at her drink. "I am level 58 and I've gotten halfway on my cooking skill. I don't think I'll max that skill out. I'll help you cook sometimes, but I leave the majority of that to you." She laughed.
Ember couldn't help but laugh. "Yeah, I thought so." She looked around, and saw Kirito and Asuna sitting at a table nearby. They seemed to be talking about something important. When they jumped up, she said, "Something's up."
Pyra nodded. "Yep. Let's see if we can help?" Ember nodded, and Pyra threw back the last of her drink. She set the pint glass down on the table and both sisters got up. They left the building to see Kirito riding off on a horse. "How the hell did he find a horse so fast?" Ember just shrugged in response. "Ugh, let's just find a horse. A big-boned one," Pyra continued. She spoke to a guy, and came back with a huge horse. The guy brought over a step, just in case they needed it. Pyra put her left foot in the stirrup, grabbed the reigns and saddle horn with her left hand, and grabbed the back of the saddle with her right hand. She knew she looked silly trying to get up on a big horse without using the step, but she used her left leg to push and her arms to pull herself up, and then she was in the saddle. She looked down at her sister. "Ready?"
Ember swallowed. "Ready." She watched her sister move her left foot out of the stirrup, and the guy from before placed the step down by the horse. Ember stood on the step, and placed her left foot in the stirrup. She gripped Pyra's offered hand, and struggled up behind her sister. She removed her foot from the stirrup to give it back to Pyra. "We've never doubled up on a horse before."
"We'll be fine. Just hold on." Pyra nodded her thanks to the stableman and then nudged the Stallion into motion when she felt her sister holding on. "Keep an eye on Kirito's marker on the map." They took off, galloping through the town and then through the woods.
"He's up ahead; He's stopped," Ember said. They rode for a few minutes, and stopped when they saw Kirito. Ember slid off the horse and rubbed her butt. "Ow... I don't ride much." She looked at Kirito. "Hi, what made you ride out of town so fast?"
"Uh, hi." Kirito explained briefly what was going on up to that point, while watching Pyra swing off of the horse. He blinked.
"Yikes. It's been a while," Pyra said, rubbing her inner thighs (over her jeans, of course). She stopped and stood up straight.
AN: Thank you for your patience so far! I know that this is happening pretty fast (3 chapters in 3 days - unless you count the multi-chapter pages, then it's 5 chapters... lol.), but I hope you love the story!
