Wow! So this is the last chapter? Hmm...It's been almost a year since I first did this story. Boy, do I feel so accomplished.

Switched Realities: Chapter Seven
How come I don't feel sleepy anymore?
Wasn't I dead now?
What's that noise that I'm hearing?
Questions began running through my head as my senses were active once more. I had that feeling people get when about to wake up after a night of sleep and I wondered why. Didn't Vergil stab me and sent me to my death? Was this the afterlife? I felt as if I was floating in midair and it seemed I was slowly floating down. I couldn't seem to open my eyes but I continued on floating til I reached a soft surface. I inhaled through my nose and caught a wiff. It smelled like my comforter! That was when my eyes finally opened and sat up. My eyes widened as I glanced around where I was now.
I was back in my bedroom.
There I was, sitting on my bed, and dressed in my night wear. The white walls were covered with familiar pictures and posters. The black fan spinned around quietly as I saw the light was still on. Even the t.v. was on showing some boring t.v. ad. My huge desk was in it's usual place at the corner...Everything was here.
''Dante? Nero?'' I stood up and walked to my PS2. It was off but I turned it back on but only to turn it off once more. Nothing. I did it once more but only to be disapointed. ''No...'' I slowly walked back to my bed and buried myself in the pillows and blankets.''No...''
So it was just a dream? It never occurred? Never happened? I was never in a life or death situation? I never was at the Devil May Cry? I never met...Dante?
''Dante?''
Life was back to normal or I tried to. Days passed as I tried my best to go on with life but with no success. I went back to school and saw people again. But just realizing it was just a dream hit me hard. It felt so real...It really made me so happy. Sure, a part of me was glad to be alive but it was actually nice ''dying'' in Dante's arms and hearing his voice. I couldn't bring myself to be the happy,always laughing person that I was. My friends noticed of my aura and tried their best to help me only to have no luck. Would I recover? All of this just because of a videogame?
I thought if I played Devil May Cry, it would help me. But for some strange reason, all the games in the series had disappeared;gone from their usual spot in my videogame collection. There, it sent me in a even deeper depression. I even noticed that all the pictures of Devil May Cry on my walls had disappeared. What was going on? I even went on the computer and searched Devil May Cry. My insides twisted into tight knots as the the screen said:
''No results found on Devil May Cry videogame.''
No...
So now there is no such thing as Devil May Cry? Now they are considered figments of my imagination? Just a made up dream? I continued spiraling downward.
But that was only the beginning to my recovery as the doorbell rang.
Still a bit of myself, I went and answered the door to see it was one of my friends.
''Oh. Hey.'' I said to him.
''Still feeling depressed?'' The friend told me. I nodded.
''Maybe a videogame will cheer you up?'' He suggested. ''Mortal Kombat? You know how you love to play as Kitana...''
My head thought of something.
''Hey. You don't happen to have any games of mine? I'm missing a few...'' I asked him. ''It's called Devil May Cry...''
But that was when he started laughing.
''What?''
''There's no such thing as that.'' My head fell down. But he continued on speaking. ''You're telling me that the guy who owns the Devil May Cry shop has a videogame?!''
My head looked up.
''Where?'' My friend looked a bit surprised.
''Huh? Across town...HEY!'' I rushed back into my house and locked the door to my place as I went back out. I said a quick goodbye and was off.
It only took about a mere twenty minutes to find my legs shaking as I saw the flickering neon sign that said Devil May Cry. I took steps foward and thought of how this could be. But wait, what if Dante doesn't remember me? That hit me. I just shook that fear away as I was now at the front doors. With a deep breath, I opened them and went inside.
Everything was in place as I stared at the back of the office. Right there, on the ebony desk, was him. But Dante did not stir. He was in his usual spot when taking a nap. I heard nothing but my breathing and the jukebox playing some soft rock.
''Dante?'' I asked toward him. His head lifted up and he opened his warm,blue eyes. I froze as he stretched,stood up and walked toward the front of his desk. We just stared at each other til a smile crept across his face.
''Lola.''
With joy, I ran toward him and threw my arms around his waist.
''I thought it was a dream! So it really did happen! But wait how did you get here?! Wait...How am I still alive?! '' Dante grabbed hold of me and had me look at him.
'' Somehow,a portal opened just when you were about to die. I just took you though it and you somehow healed quickly. Like you were just dreaming it. That was when we had a bit of a mix up when both worlds clashed together. Vergil disappeared while this happened but I'm sure it's not the last we've seen of him. Nero and I took him down hard but he was still moving. '' I liked how he said ''we've''. I brought up my top a bit where Vergil stabbed me and right there, was this skinny scar. I looked back at Dante shocked. He simply smirked.
''Wait!'' I then said. ''The amulets were destroyed!''
Dante just shrugged and went into his top. His finger brought out a necklace with a red amulet.
''What?!''
''The one I shot at was just a copy. This is the real deal.'' Dante said.'' Trish made it just in case.''
I looked at him and laughed a bit. Clever devils...But I dropped the subject.
''So?'' Dante began.''How do you feel?''
''It's real now...Everything.'' I smiled up at him. ''Everything. I feel so comfortable here...''
I was just too happy. Nothing could ruin this moment...Well except for the telephone ringing.
The half demon just kicked the front part of the desk and it sent the reciever flying into the air. He caught it with ease.
''Devil May Cry.'' He didn't take me eyes off me.''Okay then...I'll be right there.'' He threw it back and landed safely on the cradle.''Sorry,babe but duty calls.''
In a stylish way, Dante threw his coat on and equipped Rebellion along with his beloved guns and stopped by me on the way to the doors.
''See you when I get back?'' He raised an eyebrow.
''Yeah. Maybe I'll have pizza when you return...'' I smiled once more. He nodded and walked toward the fronts doors. Something about his current mood warned me. ''DANTE!''
He looked back at me just when as he had his leg up for a kick.
''Please don't kick down the doors.'' I pleaded.''That'll add to you debt.'' He put his leg down.
''Oh yeah...Like the ending in Devil May Cry 4?'' Dante added.
''Yeah...Wait! WHAT?!'' My eyes widened.
''Nothing,babe.'' Dante quickly said as he walked out as I followed.''Later!''
''DANTE!'' I called out to him in disbelief but he was gone.
I guess I was going to have to get onto the Son of Sparda when he returned. Thinking of that, I smiled to myself as I walked back inside and awaited for the half demon's return.
Hmm...I am smelling a sequel...Dont' you?
