Yo, sorry for taking so long on this. Biomedical Science is a bitch. I also had halfway finished this chapter, but then ended up losing it all because my comp crashed and pretty much blew up. Again. Now I have a new, better computer, so let the posting begin!

Anyway, enough of my very short rant, let's get to the Reviews, shall we?

Man in the shadow: sorry, but Gui will NOT go out with Feng Lang. Evar. Still, Princess will most definitely make him suffer.

Cookie-TheDestroyer: *hugs* I mentioned you TWICE now! :3 I have the team thought up now, so thanks for your compliments!

KuroHi91: Not sure if serious, or being sarcastic…

Just a fan reader: um… Prince Effect?

Aurora Leon DeLuna: oh, don't worry my friend. She won't get water powers, but someone else will…

Megaeddie14: nope, I'm a freaking genius =D

So now, reviews are done. Let's move on to the show! Hope you enjoy it!

2/1 Princess

Ch.3:

"Ei!" Princess yelled as she slashed another mob with her sword, and smiled brightly. She had been leveling up like crazy, with her AOE spell "Ifrit's Fury" and her loot spell "Call of Lupin". She had trouble luring mobs near her, but otherwise she had been doing just fine leveling up. Her own level, along with her skill levels and item levels, had gone up so high that she could solo a boss mob near her level, if she tried hard enough and had enough money for the potions. Wiping some sweat from her forehead, she smiled as she looked through her inventory. "This is good… if I sell all this, I should be able to buy enough potions to handle the entire week."

Quickly, the mage packed up her things, and left the area before the mobs respawned. It would be troublesome if they began attacking her while she was collecting items, after all. She headed back to the city to sell her things, when she caught glimpse of some female users with hearts in their eyes as they gazed at something. Thinking that this was just another girl thing, Princess went into her usual shop before selling everything, and went to buy some potions. Once she finished, she went to check what the deal was.

When she got there, she saw red. Not just on Prince's eyes and Lolidragon's armor, either.

Her eyes widened, and she grit her teeth, but managed to slowly calm herself. If she attacked them here in public, she would be seen as the bad one while they would be seen as the victims. She couldn't allow that. Instead, she went into the restaurant so that she could calm down as she ate, and to make sure that they wouldn't follow her, she went into the fanciest restaurant in the city. The two that she hated were still wearing crappy gear. They wouldn't possibly waste their money on something so trivial as fake foo-

"Table for two, please."

She spoke too soon.

Luckily for her, a waitress was able to say one sentence before she began squealing like a fangirl. "Oh I'm sorry, we don't have any tables left over- BISHIE!"

Hearing this, Princess sighed. After a moment she spoke up, raising her hand. They may have ruined her Second Life experience, but she wouldn't make them suffer as much as to deprive them of food. "They can join me at my table."

Hearing that, Prince and Lolidragon smiled brightly, when they noticed that the person who spoke was a girl. Walking to the table slowly, the fake couple began whispering to each other. "Oh crap, it's a girl… should we leave? What if she tries to rape me like the others?!"

"Don't worry, I'll keep her at bay if she tries to do that. You're my toy, not anyone else's." Lolidragon smirked, enticing a small whimper from the warrior of the team. They sat down at the table, with the girl that seemed oddly familiar.

"Sup, bitch?"

Now that, they recognized. Choking slightly on the water the waitress got them, their eyes bulged and they jumped out of their chairs. "YOU?!"

"Yea me." Princess sighed, closing her inventory. "Look, I'm not gonna attack you in public, especially not here. I happen to enjoy coming here, so don't provoke me into killing you again."

"Again?! When did we provoke you the first time?!" Lolidragon growled, making Princess shake her head at her. If they didn't know what pissed her off, then she wouldn't tell them. She'd just keep hunting them down again and again. However, this gesture made Lolidragon get different ideas. "Don't tell me… you're envious of me having Prince with me?"

That comment got Lolidragon a kick in the shin, under the table. Well, kicked her twice; seeing as how both Prince and Princess kicked her. Sighing, the black haired beauty shook her head again. "If that was true, I wouldn't have killed Prince. Just you. Apparently you don't remember or you don't know how you ruined everything, so if you can find out and apologize for it, then I'll forgive you."

Now, the two were even more puzzled. When their food got there, they were quiet for a while, before Prince grabbed all the meatbuns, including the ones Princess ordered. The girl was about to say something, when Prince did something so retardedly outrageous that she had no explanation for it. Prince took out ANOTHER meatbun, and set them all on the table. That itself was simple, but what was so strange was the fact that Prince's meatbun began to DEVOUR the other ones. "A… a cannibal bun?"

"Oh, this is Meatbun, my pet…" Prince chuckled awkwardly, hoping that someday he'll be free from the scary girl's wrath. She may have killed him for a reason he didn't know, but in the end she still had a reason. Once he found out, Prince would decide if she had a good reason or not. If she did, then he would try to be friends with her… especially since he was looking for teammates, and Princess was a girl that didn't fawn over him, and yet was extremely powerful. "But yea, I guess it does eat its own kind…" (note that it hasn't started speaking yet, so it doesn't call Prince Mama. As such, he doesn't call it his daughter.)

Silence. Princess was so confused, she had nothing that she could say. Slowly, she reached over to Prince's pet, before grabbing it carefully. It would be a terrible way to die if she got eaten by food, after all.

However, her cautiousness was broken by a childish squeal, snapping Princess out of her pseudo-trance. She turned the bun around, and saw it. Princess saw the cute chibi face that was smiling at her, as if enjoying the feeling of being held. The two locked eyes, and there was a moment of silence, before Princess hugged the small creature, burying it between her rather large pair of breasts as she let out a sound of joy. "So cute!"

Prince and Lolidragon… they were at a loss for words. Was this the same girl that had killed them so easily, or cruelly, way back when? Was this seriously the same scary girl?

Apparently, she was. The scary image the two had of the girl in their heads was instantly shattered by the sight of her snuggling the little pet. "I used to think that the pets in the game should be big and strong, but now I want a cute one like Meatbun!"

"H-hey! Meatbun is mine!" Prince whined, making the two females at the table giggle slightly at his childishness.

"You know, you're a lot different than what my first impressions told me." Lolidragon laughed, smiling to Princess. There was a moment of silence from Princess, as if she was thinking, before she finally spoke.

"Same goes for you." Princess admitted, laughing just like Lolidragon. The two of them continued to laugh a bit, both at their thoughts and at Prince's cute whining…. But Princess had to stop. If she continued, then she feared that she might feel a connection to them, making her hesitate when she is about to kill them… "Still, I will continue killing you… for now."

Hearing that, Lolidragon deflated, as she was hoping to make Princess stop hating them by trying to befriend her. However, it seemed that she would forgive them if they figured out why she hated them, so she just left it at that for now. Even Princess said "for now" at the end of her sentence, so all that Lolidragon could do was wait until she and her companion could find out exactly what Prince did that made Princess want to kill the two of them so badly. Things got silent again, before a voice was heard.

"Wu Qing, the Raging Dragon's Valley may be a little dangerous, but with the six of us and you, going there to train, it should pose no problem," a human warrior smiled to the guy next to him as they descended the stairs.

"That's right, Wu Qing. Come with us!" A second voice insisted, making Prince's eyes widen. Princess took note of this fact, and frowned slightly. Were they friends of his? Or perhaps they were rivals in the quest to kill Prince? Either way, it was not good news for her. Especially if they were the reckless sort, in which case they might try to harm her while she's in the city. Perhaps even ambush her when she's returning from a training trip, when she'd be worn and tired.

"Since friend Broken Sword and friend Li'l Strong have offered such a warm invitation, Feng Wu Qing shall not further refuse, and will join you as a member of Rose Team. Let us work hard together from now on!" Feng Wu Qing announced, smiling dashingly as he fanned himself. He was wearing a stylish robe and holding a jade flute. All that, in addition to his above-average looks, was enough to render the team's girls sighing in content as they looked at him with sparkly eyes. Of course, this was for the other team. Princess herself frowned at Feng Wu Qing, knowing that he was one of those playboys that he hated so much. Then again, Princess hated a lot of things.

Sitting by the stairs, they heard every word that was being said by the group. Hearing the name "Feng Wu Qing", together with that irritating way of talking that was getting on Princess's nerves… she narrowed her eyes, as did Prince. However, somehow they knew they were doing so due to different reasons.

Prince turned around to see who the team was, and began glaring a hole into the guy's head. Seeing this, Princess smirked happily, knowing that the person would be killed by Prince if she didn't kill him first.

"Fairsky? What's the matter? Why have you stopped mid-step?" Legolas asked, seeing that Fairsky had frozen.

"Fairsky?" The rest of the strange team looked questioningly at Fairsky and then, following her line of sight, turned to look at Prince. As he was being awfully quiet, Princess guessed that he was talking to Lolidragon by way of PM. After a while, Prince got up and walked up to them, before speaking with a smile.

"It's been a while, Rose, Li'l Strong, Legolas, For Healing Only," the elf warrior smiles warmly to them. Following his gaze, Princess could gather that Rose was the female mage wearing white, "Li'l Strong" was the large male warrior, Legolas was obviously the elven archer, and For Healing Only was definitely the priest. As for the other three, their names came up in the conversation. Feng Wu Qing was the pretty boy, Broken Sword was the human warrior, and Fairsky was the other female. Perhaps she was a thief, seeing as how she had no weapons on her person.

Prince and the group began to have a conversation , the first trying to make the latter remember who he was, but Princess had no care for such a discussion, so she just pretended to tune them out, taking care of Meatbun instead. Still, she wanted to gather information on her rival, so she listened in on the conversations without being too obvious. Apparently Prince knew the flirt from reality, but since he was actually a she in reality, it's only obvious that the guy didn't know him back. Still, it seemed that the rest of the group actually knew Prince in-game, but as it seemed, they did not know him in reality by the way they were addressing him as if he was actually a man. This guy may be the guy that she hated, but Princess couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl/man for having such randomness in her/his life.

"My fair maiden, I am a warrior who goes by the name of Feng We Qing. Might this humble swordsman trouble you for your name?" the flirt named Feng Wu Qing asked with a shining smile on his face. He had snuck up on Princess while she was observing the situation and Prince was talking to the others of the Rose Team.

Although she was surprised by his sudden closeness, Princess managed to put up a rather regal smile and she spoke in a similar tone as his. "I am called Princess, sir Feng Wu Qing. It is a pleasure to meet you."

"Are you possibly a member of sir Prince's party?" Feng asked, hope in his voice. Seeing how much of a flirt he was, Princess wanted to say yes, but she was not a liar.

"No, I'm afraid I am a solo player." Princess admitted, and lifted a hand to stop Feng Wu Qing from talking. "If you are trying to recruit me into your group, then I'm afraid I must say my statement again. I am a solo player, meaning I don't join any group. I may do so in the future, but at the moment I do not wish to join any party."

"Oh…" Feng frowned, obviously disappointed that he was unable to woo the beauty. Knowing that she was unneeded, Princess got up and turned to Prince.

"It is about time for me to take my leave. The next time we meet, Prince… we may not be on friendly terms again." The stronger player sighed, before leaving the building.

Fairsky and Rose looked at Prince, and spoke softly, curious but also wanting to seem attractive to the bishounen tranny warrior. "Who was that?"

Hearing that, Prince sighed, telling them the truth. He didn't want to admit it, but this was the inevitable fact until he could learn the truth. After taking a deep breath, he told the Rose team who Princess was, in just two words. "My executioner…"

Princess moved on to another training ground, looking for more enemies. The enemies in the area were very elusive and enjoyed sneaking up on people. Yet, she could not see a single one. She was almost certain that they were not THAT elusive. In fact, she would have been ambushed by now…

"Regenerating Body!" a girl's voice called out, followed by the sound of a healing spell activating. A priest? Princess was not keen on the idea of playing with a bunch of strangers, but a priest… she could use one of those. She moved towards the voice, and found a huge amount of the monsters, along with the Leopard Boss. They were currently fighting… a huge serpent made of glowing water, with a teenager riding on top of it?

The teenager riding on the serpent, which was revealed to be a white-haired boy with an emotionless face, jumped down, slashing the boss as the serpent attacked the smaller mobs. Meanwhile, a black-haired girl wearing all black healed the two constantly as they fought, the priest smacking monsters away with her staff when they got too close. Upon closer inspection, the priest was not using a mage staff, but rather a bo staff… a weapon. The bo staff had two pegs on each side, making it seem like a priest's staff, but it was simply far too long. Seeing this, Princess decided to intervene, with a smile on her face. "Is it alright if I help you there?"

"Please feel free to join us! There are plenty of mobs to go around!" the girl smiled, and Princess rushed in, beginning to slash the enemies with her swords. The mobs were quickly destroyed, and the three players moved to greet each other. "That was great!"

"Thank you, but you two did most of the work." Princess smiled to the girl and the emotionless boy. "Oh, it seems that I have not introduced myself yet. I am called Princess, a mage who uses a sword. It is a pleasure to meet you."

"I'm Little White Lie, a priest, while my brother over here is The Sad Truth, a summoner. However, we prefer to be called Sagi and Jin. It doesn't feel right when we aren't being called by our true names. The two of them seemed very familiar… and sounded familiar… However, they seemed to have noticed, as they were looking at Princess with confusion. "Is… is there something wrong?"

"No, sorry." Princess shook her head, blushing in embarrassment. The girl was extremely cute, admittedly, but she still seemed too much like someone she knew… "It's just… you remind me of two friends I had in the past. You even have the same names… Their names were Da Jinshil and Da Sagi… though I usually called Jinshil as Jin."

"How do you know our names?" the other girl, who was apparently Sagi, asked in surprise and confusion.

"Sagi…? Jin…?" Princess asked, gaping slightly at the two. The emotionless boy named Jin nodded a bit, and Princess immediately caught them in a hug. "Oh my God… it really is you… it's me! Rain!"

"Rain…?" Sagi asked in surprise, though Jin was still looking slightly bored. Yet, his eyebrows were slightly raised, pointing out that he was surprised. Jin and Sagi were twins who were Rain's childhood friends… He hadn't seen them since middle school began… only Jin was happier… and Sagi was always shy around men-

Oh.

Right.

Princess wasn't a man.

However, Sagi now knew that Princess was Rain, a male fried in the past. "W-wait… Rain…? Wh-why do you look like a girl…? Or were you a girl the entire time and we thought you were a boy for some reason…? Oh dear…"

"It's fine, Sagi." Princess laughed slightly, and patted the girl's shoulder as she began to explain everything that happened to her. She normally wouldn't tell anyone about this, but Jin and Sagi were her best friends. She would trust them with her life and more.

When the story ended, Jin nodded, and took out a notebook before writing on it. He then showed the note to Princess, letting her read the words "That's quite the story… but you do look somewhat similar to Rain. Also, it would be too much of a coincidence for you to be some kind of stalker who knows about our lives, and also somehow managed to find us inside the game. Your story does not sound plausible, but… the Rain I know would never lie to me. So I will believe you."

Princess was shocked upon reading that, and felt tears welling up in her eyes. She had been a solo player, but that also meant that it was extremely lonely, living and fighting alone the whole time she had been playing, with the only people trying to talk to her being either NPCs, or men who wanted to get into her pants/dress.

But now… there was someone who she could trust. Someone who she could talk to… someone who believed her… someone who she could pour out all the worries in her heart to… she had two of those people now.

Those two people were Sagi and Jin, her two best friends. Her two best friends, who were currently hugging her as she cried tears of joy.

To be continued…

Sorry about making the chapter even shorter, but I finally got a usable computer to write the fics on, and I didn't want you guys to wait more than you had to. So the team so far is:

Princess (Rain)

The Sad Truth (Jin)

Little White Lie (Sagi)

And there will be more to come… in the future.

Lastly, there will be a fic coming out that I always wanted to make, but never found time to. You see, my ACTUAL very first fic was a Bleach fic about the son of the Shinigami King… and after reading Hill of Swords for the thousand time, I couldn't handle it anymore. I had to write a Familiar of Zero fanfic. So please wait for Zero no Ouji… the story of Jin. Yes, the same OC in this story, only not from the ½ Princess world, but rather the Bleach world.

Yea…

TrueXSong, out.
