This piece was in a file that I titled "Random blahs b." This file contained many small pieces of writing I knew full well would never actually make it anywhere but felt the need to write down anyway. Since this was a collection of 'blahs' I don't actually know when this was written.

File name: Random blahs b
Date last worked on: Unknown
Things you need to know: This takes place 200 years into the future where a new set of students stumble upon a virtual world and its only inhabitant an AI named Ulrich.
The rest should be self explanatory (Feel free to leave a message if it isn't)
Random facts: This was written at my grandparents house.

"Be quiet class." The teacher said, "It's not everyday that we can go to an old Cemetery." A student raised their hand.

"Yes what is it?"

"Why are we here again?"

"To see how old man used to bury their dead. Like this one." She pointed at a gravestone. "Unlike today older man used to bury the dead people under the ground. Now this was when they had room for this kind of thing. A few centuries ago there were vast expanses of land that were just there no purpose at all other than to harbor nature." A bunch of aw's and other expressions of shock came from the class. "Yes strange isn't it. In fact some people could look out their windows and see nothing but trees for miles, with no hologram involved or extra money." The teacher let the class be amazed for a moment. "Right, now if we would go over here there is an example of old time flowers."

"Whole expanses of land full of nothing but trees. Can you believe it?" Casey asked.

"Well kind of the forest sector is like that." Ulrich said scratching his head. "I don't think it was just trees though there must have been other things too."

"Just think you could even have a backyard to play in all to yourself. "Don't you think that would have been great as a kid." Ulrich just looked at her, shrugging. "Oh right I'm sorry I forgot you never were a kid."

"It's okay." They realized that in their conversation they had gotten behind the class and ran to catch up. "Look at all of these things I wonder why…" He stopped talking and looked at a gravestone.

"Ulrich what's wrong?"

"That Stone has my name on it." She looked at it and sure enough, it said his name, Ulrich Stern, along with a birth and death date.

"Wow your right. I wonder who he was."

"Someone who died when they were 13. Hay aren't we 13?"

"Yeah… you don't think that could have been you could it?"

"I don't know. I guess it is possible."

"That would be weird then you'd have to be like 213 years old. Come on lets go, the class is getting further away."

"You go I want to stay here for a moment." He looked at the stone as Casey left. Then he got tired of it and looked at the next one. 'Yumi Ishiyama.' A scene ran through his head.

"Yumi look out!" he yelled as he pushed a Japanese girl out of the way of a laser.

He gasped, tumbling to the ground. He looked up at the tombstone. She's a year older than him. He just stared at the stone and for some reason, he started to cry. He felt so sad... and he couldn't remember why. Ulrich looked to the next tombstone. 'Odd Della-Robia.' Another scene flashed through his head.

"Odd what are you doing?" A short blond kid smiled at him.

"Nothing good buddy nothing at all."

Ulrich gasped again. Where were these things coming from? A bunch of old memories came flooding into his head along with two knew names. 'Jeremy, Aelita.' He looked at two more stones near the other ones. They were all dead. More tears started to fall down his face. They were his friends and now they were dead. He just stayed there for a while trying to understand what all of these things meant as more memories came back to him along with another name. 'XANA. What happened with XANA? How did he get into the supercomputer? Yet, as hard as he tried, he couldn't remember.

"Ulrich!" Casey said as she spotted him. "You're not still staring at that rock are you?" He shook his head but didn't say anything. "Well come on we're about to leave." She pulled on his arm but he still didn't move. "Ulrich, what's wrong?" Casey frowned.

"The name… I cant…" If he said anything else she couldn't understand it.

"Maybe you can tell me later 'kay?" She asked.

"Okay."

As with most things here, this is free for anyone to take and make their own. You can adjust it anyway you want, get rid of whatever you don't like, just use it as inspiration, seriously whatever. I would just like you to tell me so I can see what you make. No permission needed. I just wanna see my plot bunnies evolve into story bunnies... or whatever you decide to make... bunnies. :3
