ANNOUNCEMENT: I appreciate every of single review for my works, so I will review yours also (the newest one), and I'll guarantee to review it, even it's not my favorite. So, please review mine and I'll review yours, so we can be better together.
WARNING: It is (shuojo-ai) story. If you still want to read, I'll appreciate more.
Thanks for the reviewers.
to Alex Warlon well, the link doesn't work for me too. Hmm, I really want to use the real name of the characters, but still I don't know others' name in Real World, which will cause troubles later. So, I'll keep using the Anime's name I guess. Yes, we need someone to translate the book and bring it over... Anyway, your theory of Tsukasa-Ann really makes sense to me... I'll have to think for the next story I write later then. So much thanks really. One more, do you know if has a forum? If anyone know please tell me.
to Steeple333 Sorry, using 'he'... well I've been thinking about it so long before I write this one, but as THE WORLD's problem is not that much in this fic, I'll keep using 'she'... I afraid anyone will confused with 'he' and 'she' if not. And anyway, the next chapters will concentrate in the Real World, so it is not much for a trouble then. Thanks for your comment.
to Heia Kenshin thanks for your comment, your fic is fairly good too. Let us keep develop our writing skills then!
to Hunter-C The appearance... yes, that case is very confusing me. First day I write, I change the appearance of Tsukasa in THE WORLD to the girl... but that makes me think that it will cause big alter in my story. And it will require so much explanation to do... and also I won't use THE WOLRD really much anyway. It just a place where Tsukasa and Subaru can meet out of the cruel reality they endure. The real problem lies in the Real World I guess. And don't worry, in the Real World their story can make more shoujo-ai as you wish for. Thank you once again for your comment.

LOG 3
In the REAL WORLD
-Tsukasa (Ann) 's Home-
Tsukasa logs out from THE WORLD, releasing the device from her head. Tears roll from her eyes, the weeping just cannot stop easily. She realizes her foolishness back then inside THE WORLD, but she just doesn't know what thing she has to do.
It just foolish... how could she loves another girl, she thought. Though there are things like that happens within this world, but it just inevitable that it is something shameful for the community.
The whole events, every single thing happens before within THE WORLD, how Tsukasa firstly meets Subaru, how Subaru firstly speaks with her. Now, she just doesn't want to have her memories back... If just she doesn't know that she is a girl, then... it's alright... right?
Tsukasa cannot resist her pain... her deep sorrow, as she sinks her face to her folding arms on the desk. She keeps weeping, cannot stop her crying... for the cruel destiny that she has to endure.
-Subaru (Mariko) 's Home-
The girl puts off her goggle, tears flowing from her lovely eyes. She weeps because of the same problem as Tsukasa endures. As Subaru in THE WORLD, she has ever loved Tsukasa... but it is... Tsukasa in THE WORLD is... a boy.
Now, they must understand their own conditions within the Real World... she is a girl, and also is Tsukasa... within the community it is so unusual for the love of same gender...
-Tsukasa (Ann) 's Home-
A beep coming from the ALTIMIT, seems a new e-mail has arrived. Slowly, Tsukasa moves her head and takes away the tears with her hand, and she stares at the ALTIMIT... a hesitation rose from her mind, whether it's good or not to open the file.
After a long moment, she grabs the mouse and rolling it to open the e-mail. She is mostly afraid if it was Subaru... then, she clicks on it...
From : Mimiru Title: Let's meet
Hi, Tsukasa. It's been a while since we lastly met. I've been giving you so much e-mail but it seems you haven't read it. Well, hopefully this one is read.
Do you remember at that time when we talk about shopping after you return to the Real World?
Hopefully you remember, well... if you really remember then we can meet at the shopping centre of Shibuya day after tomorrow, is that ok with you?
Oh well, if you want to meet then, I'll wait for you in front of the statue in the centre.
See you there.
Tsukasa reads it with cautious, then she remembers that time... the time before they find the true existence of Twilight Key. At that time, Mimiru made a promise with her to meet again in the Real World later in the shopping centre of Shibuya... so, Mimiru hasn't forgotten about that.
It was day after tomorrow... Yeah, maybe she will go there... trying to forget her confused mind. Maybe she really needs refreshment, running for a while from this whole trouble...
She looks again at the photograph of Subaru behind her front room door. How cruel the fate is to both of them... if just they have power to return to the past... will they neglect the feeling between both of them... even they know what awaits them in the future...
She closes her eyes, trying to get those things away from her cloudy mind. She just wants to get away from this whole big trouble...
The day after tomorrow
-Shibuya, Shopping Centre-
Tsukasa enters the Shopping Centre area. It is the first day she sets foot outside her home after she returns to the Real World. The sunny day welcomes her and everyone that doing their activities.
She wears the blue blouse covered up by a thin jacket, her hair sways freely under the blue sky, and she has cut her hair so it doesn't reach her shoulder, but still looks so lovely. She also wears a darker blue skirt, which match to her blouse.
She walks slowly inside the Shopping Centre, looking at the left side and the right side of the passageway, looking after each of the stores with their special items for sale. In the centre of the Shopping Centre, there is a large statue, the statue of Rem, which named after God of Time, watching the flow of time within the world.
As she walks nearing the statue, slowly but certain she sees a girl... She just doesn't know what she wanna do... in front of her, a girl with the walking chair stares at her.
The girl wears the white shirt, with her her long hair sways under the wind. The white skirt that she wears folds her weak legs which cannot walk. She sits on her walking chair, which enables her to walk...
It must be her... yes; she assures that girl... is her.
"Subaru..." she finally talks.
"We meet again... Tsukasa," the girl replies.
Continued...
AUTHOR's NOTE:
This chapter contains so much of monolog I guess. But in the end, Tsukasa and Subaru meet again... but now they really meet in the Real World, both as girls. Hm, to be honest it will be hard for me to write what shall happens after this, so maybe it's gonna be longer time needed for the next chapter. But, anyway, maybe I'll write about my experience, even not the full of it... well, still give me reviews for this chapter ok. See you all later.
