Chapter 2

(Present time)

"Darling, you should not use such words," Miss. Anna scolded, looking at me.

"Sorry," I bluffed apologetically, but, seriously, I am not sorry at all; I mean, that was the smallest reaction I could have given! Like, come on - first I get sucked inside of my computer monitor (which is absurd as hell in itself), and then I somehow get transported into my favourite anime and game? What, the heck. I can't deny that I'm excited, but I'm more freaked out about how and why I actually ended up here.

I'd started babbling to myself. Except, I wasn't babbling: I was swearing instead. I just hoped that I was cussing low enough so that Miss. Anna couldn't hear. Well, if she did, she wasn't mentioning it. Speaking of her, I just realised something. She still hadn't answered my other question.

"Miss. Anna, who are the others you found?" I asked, very keen to know who these supposed people were.

Annabell glanced over her shoulder at me with an amused look on her face. "Don't worry, you'll find out soon," she said, before facing forward again "Here we are."

We stopped in front of a medium-sized house, located almost in the middle of the market place. Vines and creepers snake around the walls and a petite garden is presented at the front, all lush grass and dewdrops. When we entered the house, I noticed that while it wasn't very large, it had a certain homely feel to it. There were probably about five rooms: the living room, the kitchen and the dining room were all joined together, and then there were the bedrooms; a guest bedroom, as well as another two for Anna and her son, or so I'd been told.

Miss Anna lead me into the living room and instructed me to wait.

"I wonder who these other people are," I said to myself, picking up a nearby magazine to read whilst I waited. I peered around out of curiosity, before I looked at the mirror and got the biggest shock of my life. I wasn't myself. I mean, I was, but I wasn't. Brown eyes, medium skin, and pitch-black wavy hair topped with a white hairband? I couldn't believe it myself, but swear I looked exactly like Crystal Blaze... Just like the avatar from the game I played back home.

"No way..." I breathed in disbelief. Now that I thought about it, even my voice sounded different - not by much, but there was certainly something new to my tone. I felt more... mature; instead if being fifteen, I sounded sixteen, or maybe even seventeen. Judging from my reflection, I appeared the same, too. Like, I actually was that old in this world. Not that I'm complaining: because in all seriousness, I look good. Really good.

In my awe I'd stepped closer to the mirror, my magazine laid forgotten as I admired my new looks. I was so amazed that I almost missed the shift in the background of the reflection, but when I glanced up I saw something that just made me happier than I have ever been. My friends – in avatar-form.

After seeing my own reflection, I couldn't say that I was really surprised. Out of everything that had happened, the thing that startled me the most was that they were actually here, right with me. For that, I was extremely grateful. No matter how excited I could get, I would always be kind of lonely and insecure without proper company.

"Yay, you're here too!" Lily cried, pulling me into a hug with care for little else. Allison did the same and stated, "Good to see you at last."

"I'm so glad to see you all!" I said in delight, embracing them again.

"Oh, you're here," Rose noted, smiling as she entering the room at last.

"Yeah!"

Miss. Anna came in as we enveloped ourselves in a group-hug and regarded us with a smile. "My guess was right; so you all do know each other after all." We broke apart and nodded happily. "Well I'll let you all catch up. I'll be back in a few minutes," she told us before leaving the room. We all stared at each other's faces before I broke the silence.

"Wow, you guys look really nice in your avatar forms," I observed, scanning over their frames. Allison cheered, "I know, right?", whereas Rose raised a red brow;"You don't look so bad yourself."

I grinned, dipping into an exaggerated bow. "Why, thank you very much!"

Rose shook her head slightly, but responded: "Well, that just goes to show that we didn't waste our efforts in designing our characters. I mean, it took us two whole hours to look this good."

Lily sighed in bliss, dropping down on the couch I was stood next to, "Yup, fully worth it."

Allison turned to me as I shifted slightly to make room for the other girl and inquired, "Just out of curiosity, how did you even get here?"

I avoided her blue gaze. "You wouldn't me believe me I told you.".

She scoffed, cocking an eyebrow. "Oh please, you tell me everything, even when you seriously want to go to the loo. Just try me."

I yelped, flushing. "Hey, you didn't have to say that in front of everybody!" Allison glared at me, threatening: "Well say it fast or else I will spill all your beans."

I matched her glower before I broke the eye contact. "Okay, okay," I grumbled crankily "In short, I fell into my computer monitor. I won't tell you anything else."

Lily furrowed her forehead. "That's a new one," she uttered. I was curious and asked, "How did you all come in?"

Allison became shifty. "Well..." She trailed off.

"Come on, Allie, say it!" I pleaded.

She glanced at me and huffed. "Okay, listen. I was just playing the game, and when I was transporting back to my character's house, I noticed that everything was becoming invisible in reality. My senses were going numb and my head was aching, and after a while I saw everything going black. When I came to, I saw that I was siting on a tree branch near the riverside. I came down with great difficulty and was wondering around when I met Miss. Annabel. Apparently I was the first one here out of all of us, so I had a pretty hard time understanding the situation whilst trying to make them understand mine."

I stared at her as she finished. "That's so cool!" I exclaimed, but Allison sulked a little, muttering, "Not for the person who is actually going invisible." I didn't reply and instead peered at the door that Miss. Anna had disappeared through. "Did you really tell her the truth, including how we suddenly came here from a different world?"

Allison snorted. "Of course not," she answered "I told her that we came here from a small country, looking to have new adventures and becoming independent people. Unfortunately, we didn't know much about this place and were a little lost. Plus, we didn't have a place to stay." I eyed her skeptically and questioned: "How did you know that we were gonna come here too?"

The brunette shrugged. "I didn't."

I was puzzled. "Then why did you way 'we' were lost, in your back story?

Allison sighed and clarified herself. "I said 'we' because just after I met her were came across Lily. So, by 'we' I meant me and Lily."

"Oh..." I said slowly, understanding. I changed the topic: "Are we gonna stay here in the mean time?"

"Maybe, we think so," Lily replied before sitting straighter. "Okay, my turn now," She readied herself to tell her story, and began: "My side is quite similar to Crystal's-"

"You fell inside your computer, too?!" I cut in, relieved that I wasn't the only one.

"NO, shut up and listen." Lily scolded with an angry expression. I held my hands up in the universal sign of peace, "Okay, okay!", and she carried on: "Right. In my case, after I last talked to you guys, my computer went black, when I saw a picture of a mirror on my monitor and saw my reflection in it."

"So you got inside it, right? Right?" I hooted expectantly. I really didn't want to be the only one who got into her monitor intentionally, but I guess that was not my day; Lily just gave me blank expression, followed by an accusing look.

"No, I didn't. Let me finish the story, will you?" I apologized to her and she spoke again: "Okay, after I saw that image, I looked back at the mirror in my room. It looked exactly like the one I had, just seen on-screen. I thought it was some sort of riddle or message sent by Crystal since she frequently gives me some to solve. I went up to my mirror and started looking all around it to find where her next clue was hidden, when I felt some kind of folded paper fall from behind the mirror onto the ground. When I couldn't fish it out, I moved the dressing table, along with the mirror, out of the way. But just as I moved it, I found a door

"It was quite a bit smaller than other normal doors, and I thought that I had found a hidden passageway in my own house, so I opened it and entered inside. I didn't realise for about three minutes that I was standing in some store. After I figured that out, I tried to find the door again, but as luck would have it, it was no longer there. I freaked out. It wasn't until later that I met Allison out of nowhere, and she introduced me to Miss. Annabel. Later, Rose came along," Lily finished, smirking proudly.

"Whoa, you guys had awesome entries..." I muttered, adding "Unlike me," in a whisper as an afterthought.

I focussed on Rose eagerly, but she just stared back with a deadpan look. "What?"

"Come on, now it's your turn," Allison encouraged her, but Rose just crossed her arms; "Why? You both know it already... Anyway, it's foolish."

"Well, not foolish, but..." Lily lapsed into silence, but I begged the redhead to elaborate: "Please say it, I want to know."

Rose gave me the stink-eye, pursing her lips. "Fine, I will, but just in short," she said curtly. I nodded and sat down quietly beside Lily to listen to the tale.

"Okay, so just after I finished chatting with you all, I got a gift from someone in the game. Believe it or not, the gift was a bouquet of roses. I ignored it and cut it out. I was still playing the game when I caught a sweet smell in my room that smelt suspiciously like roses. Where it came from, I didn't know, but for me the smell was way too sweet and was becoming somewhat unbearable. It was kind of peculiar, and I started losing consciousness. After a minute or so, I was out like a light. When I regained consciousness, I saw that I was sitting on a bench in the marketplace. I eventually found Lily and Allison." She glared at me "That's it."

I had an awed expression. "Wow..." I drawled dreamily "That was quite mysterious and dumb too. I mean, think of it like this - Rose was knocked out from the smell of roses!" I laughed, looking around at everyone.

"Well, when you put it like that..." Allison said, as both she and Lily smiled.
