Hello! Sorry it took me so long to update. I was sick last weekend. Like throw up sick. It freaking sucked. So to make up for that I shall update twice today! Please enjoy this chapter. Bye!

"Emily!" was the first thing that came out of Aidan's mouth.

But everything was okay. She was standing in a circular room that had no ceiling and no floor, and if it wasn't odd enough, there was a dashboard in front of her that asked: What would you like to be called in-game?

There was a keyboard with a space where her name was to be put. She typed in Aidan, and once she clicked OK, another dashboard popped up.

There appeared to be a bunch of different hair colors, styles, and lengths. A note read on the side: Hairstyles and outfits can also be managed in-game.

Aidan chose her normal hairstyle, a deep orange color with waves. Once that was finished, she swiped left, where there was a choice of your style of wear. There were only five options, so Aidan chose one and made the jacket blue.

Finally, she had to choose the sword. There were ten starter weapons. Three ninja swords, one pair of throwing knives, and six normal swords. Some were thin, some were thick and heavy.

Aidan chose a small, thinner sword. It was light and fit perfectly into her hand.

Suddenly, everything dissolved into little pixels, including her. She tried to yell but no sound came out.

Then everything came back. But she was somewhere else now…

Payge, Natalie, Taylor, Maddy and Emily were all waiting in the spawn area of Sword Art Online. They were on the first floor of Aincrad, the Town of Beginnings, in the main plaza. There were lots of players around them, chatting, running around, and exploring. Everyone was dying to look around, but the friends had to wait for Aidan.

"This is so weird! How we can move aaand…. It's just like real life!" Payge stuttered.

"I know!" said Natalie excitedly.

Every time someone spawned in, Emily looked up with hope but it never seemed to be Aidan. Aidan would have a blue outfit for sure. And her yellow glasses could never be missed.

Suddenly, Emily yelped with jubilation, for her sister had arrived. Everyone turned and ran towards Aidan.

All of them had almost the exact same beginner's outfits, but in different styles and colors. Emily had long black hair, black outfit, and a heavy-looking sword. Taylor had long red hair and black jacket with white undergarments and throwing knives. Payge had bouncy blonde hair with a red outfit and red glasses, and Natalie had the exact same but she had long brown hair and no glasses instead. Maddy stood out from the rest with multi-colored hair and black outfit.

"Finally! What the heck took you so long!" Taylor said.

"I was trying to figure things out like the rest of you!" Aidan mumbled.

Emily waved her hand around. "Well, whatever. At least now we're all together."

"Yeah, let's go." Maddy agreed.

"Where?" said Aidan.

Everyone looked at Natalie. "What?" she said.

"You're the one who knows about this game." said Payge.

"Not really! I just got it today!" argued Natalie. She swiped with her fingers and opened up a dashboard. "First, we should-"

"Wait!" shouted Emily. "How did you do that?"

"The dashboard?"

"Yes."

"You swipe down with two fingers." The instant she said that, everyone had their menus popped up.

"Okay, so I was going to say that we should friend each other and form a party. That way, we'll always know where each of us are, in case we get lost."

They all friended, formed a party, and tried to figure out where everything was on the dashboard.

"Okay, so now can we go?" said Taylor.
