Monika tapped her fingers on her desk as she had an obvious disgruntled expression on her face. Her eyes shifted to the corner of her vision and sighed in frustration, "It's been too long since he last visited. 4 whole days of waiting on him and he's nowhere to be seen! Maybe it was all too good to be true," However, as she said this, something appeared behind her. In fact, multiple things were appearing behind her.

Monika glanced behind her to see multiple kitchen appliances along with some kitchen utensils, "What's all this for...?"

Afterwards, Skylar appeared in the middle of it all, "Did it...?" He looked around and nodded, "Sweet, it all spawned," He looked over at Monika and smiled, "Hey Monika."

"Skylar, what's all this?"

"Well, I was able to fix a little something. Go ahead and check two of your senses," To give her a hint, Skylar pointed at his mouth and nose.

"Huh?" Monika sniffed around and smiled, "My sense of smell..."

"And for your taste," Skylar rushed over to the massive fridge and took out a bag of vegetarian chocolate chips, "They're vegetarian, so don't worry about it."

"Uh..."

"Or uh, I remember you talking about a cherry kiss. We could try that too."

"U-Uh..."

"I'm just kidding. Just take a chocolate chip," Skylar held out the bag and she took a chocolate chip out and ate it, "So?"

"Skylar..."

"Yes?"

"It's not a vegetarian. I don't think that exists. That would be vegan chips, but uh...," Monika smiled and hugged Skylar, "I can taste and smell now!"

"Sweet. That brings us to our activity today."

"Uh, first. Is all this the reason you haven't visited recently?"

"Kinda. I also had some personal business to attend to along with preparing this?"

"Anything I should be worried about?"

"N-Not really. I'm handling it. Anyway, our activity today is attempting to remake Natsuki's cupcakes. I know how much you've loved them and I thought that we could try and recreate them."

"Are you sure?"

"It shouldn't hurt to try. I haven't been able to find or attempt to find her recipe. So we're kinda working blind."

"Uh..."

"What's wrong?"

"How is everything working? Isn't everything here electric?"

"Yup."

"Then how is any of this working without electricity."

"No earthly idea, but it's all powered and ready for our use. So far, this is all I can do. I can only spawn items from the outside into here. However, what I can spawn is very limited. So don't expect anything else big."

"Is a bed possible?" Monika teasingly requested.

"Quite possibly. Although, that's only if you're...," Skylar paused and glanced at her from the corner of his eye with smirk saying, "willing to..."

"U-Uh..."

"Haha, you're cute."

"Mmm...," Monika puffed her cheeks out away from his glance and sighed.

"I'll try to see if I can have some sort of personal console or spawn menu so that I can bring things in without having to leave to add it. However, I'm still learning. My friend will have to show me the ropes from time to time."

"About this friend, uh...," Monika fell silent and tapped her head, "Did you ever have feelings for this person?"

Skylar paused for a short moment before opening some of the cabinets and taking out some cooking supplies, "I did, but it would never worked. She's a nerd, but she's an extroverted nerd. It completely contradicts her nerdy personality. Somebody as extroverted as her would never work with someone who can't even stand going outside and conversing with someone else."

"Is there a back story to your introverted ways?"

"I guess it was how I was raised and how my childhood went. You see, I started out as a very active kid. I would be outside and play with the neighborhood kids from the start of the day until it was time to head back inside. However, things changed when I got to grade school."

"What happened?"

"Those same friends I once knew met new people and had no problems making new friends. As for me, I was someone who never liked change. If there's some sort of set routine I'm used to, as soon as some drastic change takes place, I instantly deny it and refuse to follow it."

"Is that happening even now...?"

Skylar leaned on the counter next to them and chuckled almost nervously, "Well, my same routine was trying to be with you in this virtual plane. I guess you could say my daily routine has taken a drastic change. Like now, I have to go and set up the transporter along with fuel for the generator."

"Is it expensive?"

"Kinda. I have to head to a certain provider that sells this specific fuel. The fuel I need is rare and it can cost quite the penny. Thankfully, my provider and I can meet an agreeable compromise."

"Mind telling me what it is?"

"I don't think it's something I should disclose to anyone. No matter how close we are," Skylar looked down at the mixing bowl and chuckled, "Well, let's quit all this sappy talk and begin baking!" Monika, knowing that something is eating at Skylar, decided to step into action and grabbed a hold of his hand, "Huh?"

"Skylar, although it's only an assumption, I'm your girlfriend now and as your girlfriend, I can't help but worry about how you're acting right now," Skylar turned around to meet the worried expression of Monika staring intently at him, "If there's anything out there hurting you or if you're suffering... confide into me. I want you to know that, even if I'm virtual, know that I have the feeling to help you."

"Monika...," Monika touched her forehead with Skylar's causing Skylar to blush at their proximity of one another.

"I love you... and I want you to know that I'll be here for you no matter what..."

"...," Skylar was left stunned at Monika's action, "Her actions. The coding is suppose to have her act like this, but for it to be this powerful... that's just bizarre."

"Skylar?"

"Sorry, I'm just... grateful you're hear for me. Also, how do I smell?"

Monika chuckled and smiled, "You smell wonderful. Did you shower before coming here?"

"Yeah. Just wanted to let your first smell of me to be pleasant."

"Haha, I'm glad to have a boyfriend like you. So uh, shall we begin our attempt at creating Natsuki's cupcakes?"

"Let's do it!"

-2 hours later-

"Well," 2 hours later, the entire kitchen area was dirty with flour, eggs, and other cooking materials while the both of them were covered in flour, "I think after 2 hours of trial and error, we made some pretty... uh..."

"Mediocre cupcakes?"

"Exactly. I'm glad I put 3 hours of fuel in the generator."

"Did you think it would take that long."

"Yup."

"They're not half bad."

"Yeah, they're about on par with one those grocery store cupcakes that are actually good. Normally though, If i'm honest with you. I actually don't like cupcakes or cakes in general."

"Huh?"

"Yeah. Cupcakes, cakes, cheesecake etc. The only 'cake" I would eat is a cookie cake. Now that is bomb in my eyes."

"We should try that next time."

"Uh, next time, I'll get us a recipe for it rather than assume what to do."

"That's probably for the best."

The both of them finished off the cupcakes and smiled at one another. The two of them slid down along the counter as Skylar wrapped his arm around Monika and held her close, "This was fun. I'll definitely find us more things to do. Maybe I'll try and create different places to go to rather than this stuffy old classroom. I know you would love that."

"Oh you wouldn't know it. This classroom serves its purpose and all, but nothing would be better than to go out somewhere with you. What are you thinking of creating?"

"I don't know yet. Any suggestions?"

"How about a pier? Like a pier with an amusement park with a beach close by."

"So uh... the Santa Monica Pier?"

"Yeah."

"Hm, I could try. I'll have to ask my friend how to do that."

"Sweet. Well, it seems you're running out of time. You should probably head on out before you just disappear."

"Probably," Skylar stretched and stood up while helping Monika in the process, "I'll be heading out now. I'll try and be back as fast as I can, but don't expect me to come daily. There's still stuff I'll have to tweak."

"Don't worry. I understand. I look forward to our next day together!"

"Me too," Skylar hugged Monika and she hugged back, "Bye Monika, see you later!" Skylar waved her off and she waved him off as well as he soon awoke in the same bed as before. He stared at the ceiling and sighed, "She can't know too much about my personally problems. I'll have to keep it on the down low for now on...," He stood up and went about the rest of his day.

Meanwhile, in the classroom, Monika looked at the mess they made and sighed, "Probably should've cleaned up before he left...," And with Monika was off cleaning with whatever cleaning supplies Skylar spawned with the kitchen set.
