It was now Friday Afternoon. "I'm glad we still have the weekend until school." Hunter said as him and Silica walked down the street.
"Yeah, But then we gotta do a lot of studying and stuff." Silica said with a sigh. "Hey, isn't that Eric?", she pointed ahead at the entrance of the mall.
"Oi, it is." Hunter said. Hunter and Silica ran towards Eric. Eric was leaning against the wall, he was holding some bags. "Hey Eric."
"Oh, sup dude." Eric said. Silica noticed Eric's shirt.
"Nice new shirt Eric." Silica said with a laugh. Hunter looked and noticed that Eric was wearing a brand-new shirt, it was black with white writing.
"This shirt was Asada's idea." Eric said. His shirt read; My bestie is the best sniper in GGO (And cutest).
Hunter laughed at the last part. "Isn't it funny?" Sinon asked as she walked out the mall with some bags.
"Yeah, sure is." Hunter said with a laugh.
"What you laughing at nerd?" Eric asked with a scowl.
"Nothing!" Hunter shouted. Eric smirked and Sinon hit his arm.
"Well it was nice running into you guys, see ya'll later." Silica said as she basically dragged Hunter away. "Well that was fun."
"Yup, sure was." Hunter said with a sigh. "Well we should get back to heading to the pizza place." He replied as he pepped up.
"Right, let's run." Silica said as she started running. Hunter ran to catch up. After A few minutes Hunter and Silica arrived at the pizza place.
"I have never had pizza from PizzaShack, is it good?" Hunter asked.
"Yeah! It's amazing!" Silica answered. Hunter and Silica sat down and ordered some pizza. "So what should we name our new familiar?" Silica asked.
"Coconut." Hunter answered.
"Awww I like that name." Silica said.
"Good, glad to hear it." Hunter said with a smile.
"It's so nice to be able to have some fun together without having to worry about anything." Silica said.
"Sure is." Hunter agreed. Hunter and Silica enjoyed some pizza and conversation before leaving PizzaShack. While walking on the sidewalk they bumped into Klein. "Yo! Klein!" Hunter called out.
"Sup man?" Klein asked.
"Nothing much, just going through town with Silica." Hunter replied.
"Cool, well I have somewhere I need to get to, so I'll see ya'll later." Klein said as he rushed off.
"Always nice to bump into some friends." Silica said.
"Yeah." Hunter said as they went back to walking.
"Wait I have a great idea." Silica said as she suddenly stopped walking.
"What?" Hunter asked as he stopped and looked at her.
"We should invite Asada and Eric to come on a double date with us." Silica replied.
"D-Double date?!" Hunter stuttered.
"Yeah, what do you think?" Silica asked.
"Ummm, we could try." Hunter responded. 'A double date huh…. Wait that means that me and Silica was on a normal date, wait double with Asada and Eric… I hope Eric stays calm.' Hunter thought to himself while Silica called Sinon.
"Hello." Silica said.
"Oh hey." Sinon said.
"You and Eric wanna join me and Hunter on a double date?" Silica asked.
"Yeah!" Sinon replied.
"Sweet, meet us at Larry's Ice-cream shop." Silica said.
"Alright, we'll be there soon." Sinon said before hanging up.
"We are going to meet them at Larry's Ice-cream shop." Silica said as her and Hunter walked towards the store. Sinon just started dragging Eric towards the store. Hunter and Silica got there first and sat down. After a few minutes Eric and Asada arrived. They sat in the chairs opposite of Hunter and Silica.
"This Double is going to be fun." Silica said.
"Double?" Eric asked confused.
"You didn't tell him?" Hunter asked.
"Well I thought he might say no if I just asked." Sinon replied.
"What is going on?" Eric asked.
"Me and you are going with Silica and Hunter for a double date." Sinon answered. Eric was silent.
"Y-You could have just asked me, I would have said sure." Eric said with his face turning red slightly, he looked at the window so no one would notice.
"Oh, well that just means we can all enjoy ourselves." Silica said.
"Yup." Sinon said. The waiter came stopped at their table.
"What would you like to order?" The waiter asked with a smile.
'That smile is so fake it's embarrassing.' Eric said inwardly. 'Wow he has such a big smile, he must be really happy.' Hunter thought. 'I hate this job so much, I hate having to fake smile.' The waiter thought.
"A Chocolate milkshake, and some orange flavored ice-cream please." Eric ordered.
"Same." Sinon said.
"I'll take banana milkshake with banana ice-cream." Silica ordered.
"I'll take Vanilla Milkshake with the same type of ice-cream." Hunter ordered.
"Coming up." The waiter said as he turned and walked off.
"So how long have you and Silica been going out with each other?" Eric asked.
"Only for a few weeks." Silica said.
"How about you and Asada?" Hunter asked with a smile.
"What are you talking about?" Eric and Sinon said together. They looked at each other and laughed.
"Sure." Silica said with a chuckle.
"I got me eyes on you Bro." Hunter said pointing at Eric.
"Yeah well, I need to keep a better eye on you if you and Silica have been going on dates and I didn't notice." Eric said.
"Well that's because of my ninja skill is over 9000." Hunter said with a smile. Eric and Hunter busted out laughing.
"Here's your orders." The waiter said as he gave everyone their Ice-Cream and milkshakes. Everyone thanked him and he left.
Eric started drinking his milkshake. Eric grabbed his head. "B-Brain freeze." Eric said.
"Ha weak." Hunter said as he took a sip of his. Hunter grabbed his head. "Ahh! Brain freeze!" Hunter shouted. The girls giggled as they drank theirs. Eric and Hunter just stared in shock.
"How'd ya'll not get brain freeze?" Eric asked.
"We love this place, we've been here a lot." Sinon said.
"Yeah, We're used to it." Silica said. They are started eating their ice-cream. After they all finished they started walking towards the park.
"This is nice weather." Hunter said.
"Amen to that brother." Eric said with a smile.
"I find it to be kinda cold." Sinon said.
"I'll be back, I got to go back to my firebird for something." Eric said as he ran off to where they parked.
"What's that about?" Silica asked.
"Not sure." Sinon answered. After a few minutes Eric ran back with something over his shoulder.
"Here." Eric said as he handed Sinon the spare jacket he kept in his firebird. Sinon took it and put it on.
"Thanks." Sinon said with a smile. 'Dang it, why must she smile like that…' Eric thought with a smile of his own.
'Eric having a normally happy smile… Aliens! Or something else.' Hunter thought. Silica notice Hunter staring at Eric with an analyzing face, so she elbowed him. Hunter grunted and started walking. They all followed. They found a grassy hill area in the park and they all laid down.
"The sunset is so amazing." Sinon said.
"Yup." Silica said.
Hunter and Eric looked at each other. "Girls am I right?" They said to each other. They felt blazing death stares. Eric and Hunter gulped. They took off running down the hill.
"Get back here!" Sinon and Silica yelled chasing after them. Eric hid behind a tree while Hunter dove into a bush. The girls searched all over but couldn't find them. Sinon smiled. "Eric I see a snake!" Sinon yelled.
Eric darted from behind the tree to Sinon's side. "You ok? Where?" Eric said looking around.
"Caught you." Sinon said with a laugh as she wrapped her arms around his chest in a hug.
"I can't believe I fell for that." Eric said with a sigh. Silica was on the ground laughing. "Hunter's over there." Eric said as he pointed to a bush by the tree he was hiding behind. Silica snuck up to the bush. She saw Hunter's back and she poked it.
"Ahhhhh! I've been shot!" Hunter screamed as he ran out the bush. "Wait…" Hunter said as he realized what happened. "Eric you traitor!" Hunter shouted as he pointed at Eric.
"Yeah, your point?" Eric asked with a smirk. Hunter went to go snap back but Silica hugged him from behind.
"We win, we caught you both." Silica said.
"Yeah, you caught us." Hunter said with a defeated voice.
"Now where have I heard that tone before?" Sinon asked Eric.
"Very funny." Eric said flashing a smile. They all sat on a bench near the walk path. After a while of sitting in silence it was almost fully dark.
"Hey Eric, you awake?" Hunter asked in a whisper.
"Yeah, but I think Asada and Sili-" Eric stopped. "Keiko are both sleeping." Eric said fixing his mistake in a whisper.
"Yeah, Her head's on my shoulder." Hunter said.
"Same, I think we should get out of here before they catch a cold or something." Eric said.
"Yeah, but I don't want to wake them." Hunter said.
"Let's just carry them to the car and put them in the back seats and I'll drive and drop everyone off." Eric said.
"Alright." Hunter said. After a short walk Eric and Hunter carried Sinon and Silica to Eric's firebird, they put them in the back and buckled them up. Hunter got in the passenger's side. Eric got In and drove to Silica's house.
"I'll take her inside, My Honda Rebel is also here so I'll just ride back, thanks man." Hunter said as he picked up Silica and shut Eric's doors. Eric nodded at him as he took her up the stairs to her house.
"H-hey." Sinon said starting to wake up.
"Hey, I just dropped Hunter and Silica off, I'm going to your house for you now." Eric said as he started driving.
"Thank you." Sinon said.
"No problem, just try to enjoy your rest." Eric said. By the time Eric arrived at Sinon's house she was wide awake. Eric and Sinon got out.
"Thanks for dropping me off." Sinon said.
"No problem." Eric said with a laugh.
"Oh here's your jacket." Sinon said as she started to take it off. Eric stopped her.
"Nah, keep it for tonight, besides that gives me a reason to come by tomorrow, if that's fine." Eric said.
Sinon smiled. "I would love for you to come over tomorrow, maybe for breakfast?" Sinon asked.
"Sure, goodnight Asada." Eric said as he got back in his car.
"Goodnight Eric." Sinon said as Eric drove off towards his house.
Eric walked into his house. "What a day." Eric said as he threw his keys on his desk in his bedroom. Eric hopped onto his bed. He started to pass out. Eric passed out and started dreaming. "Die!" Eric yelled as he slashed a laughing coffin member into triangles. "I'll kill every last one of you." Eric shouted as he sliced and diced them all. Eric killed 22 coffin members. A little kid and his mother was nearby.
"He was so cool! He killed the bad guys!" The little boy yelled. "Get away from him! He's nothing but a higher-level killer." The mother yelled as she pulled her son and ran off.
"Tch! I never get a thank you for saving these ungrateful fools." Eric said with a frown. "But then again I don't do it to save them, I just love murdering these Red players." Eric said as he started walking off.
"Hey!" A coffin member that was hiding shouted. He walked out in front of Eric. Eric put his hand on his sword. "Why don't you join us? You are a red player too, we both know you love killing people, what do you say?" The coffin member asked.
"No, I only kill other killers." Eric said as he moved like lighting and beheaded the member. He busted into triangles. Eric suddenly saw the bodies of everyone he killed. "1,10,100,1000, no over 2000 Killers were killed by my hands." Eric said as he looked at his hands, they were blood red. "And I loved it." Eric said with red eyes. Eric woke up in the morning sweating. "No! No! I have changed. I don't wanna really kill other killers now, my taste for blood is gone." Eric said as he sat up, he was breathing really hard. "It is gone right?" Eric asked himself. "Of course it is." Eric said as he shook his head. His phone went ding. Eric had a text from Sinon asking if she could invite Hunter and Silica over for breakfast as well. Eric texted her back saying sure. Eric decided a walk would clear his head so he walked to Sinon's apartment. He knocked on her door when he got there. She let him in.
"Hey, you ok?" Sinon asked.
"Y-yeah, just fine." Eric said faking a smile. Sinon pushed and pinned him against the wall.
"Don't lie, I can tell that's a fake smile… what's wrong?" Sinon asked.
"I had a dream, that's all." Eric said looking at the floor. Sinon let go of Eric.
"start talking." Sinon demanded as she patted her bed. Eric sat down.
"Well while I was in SAO I got a taste for…" Eric stopped.
"It's ok, I won't judge what you did in there." Sinon said as she sat next to Eric.
"I found out I loved killing people in the game, so I started killing red players, I was a mass murder, over 2000 player killers died by my hands." Eric said.
"Y-you killed killers, it was wrong, but you might have saved countless lives by doing so." Sinon said as she rubbed Eric's back. Eric had a small smile.
"You think I saved some people?" Eric asked with hope.
"Yes." Sinon answered. Eric sighed and relaxed. "Now that's the Eric I'm friends with." Sinon said as she hugged him. Eric just closed his eyes and smiled. The doorbell rang. "Coming." Sinon said as she got up and answered it, it was Hunter and Silica. They went and sat down in some chairs. "I'm gonna go cook our breakfast." Sinon said as she started fixing some food.
"Eric, did you have one?" Hunter asked with dull eyes.
"Yeah." Eric said returning to how he was.
"Have what?" Silica asked.
"Me and Eric mass murdered lots of player killers, including laughing coffin members." Hunter said.
"And every now and then we have a dream about it." Eric said.
"Oh." Silica said.
"But it's ok, because we might have saved more people than we killed." Eric said. Hunter smiled at that.
"Yeah, your right." Hunter said with a laugh.
"Hope everyone likes eggs for breakfast." Sinon said as she handed everyone a plate of eggs.
"Eggs aren't my favorite but I eat them for breakfast sometimes, so it's fine." Eric said with a smile.
"I love eggs." Hunter and Silica said at the same time. They all laughed and enjoyed their breakfast.
