Ok guys…I decided to try this. After writing and rewriting chapter two about ten times I've come to the conclusion of this….I'm a pretty bad writer and my ideas never come out how I want them.

I want to get straight to the romance because I'm a hopeless romantic but unfortunately I don't want to be that person with the really shitty fast story and super crap short chapters. I'm lazy so if you like this story let me know. It will give me motivation. I have big plans for this story and only the first three chapters will be in the world of the Anime Sword Art Online. You may think that I should have had Sora stuck longer but I think its better this way. I want to show a sad heartbroken and stubborn Lizbeth. And of course her sarcasm and sass is a must! But I think Sora can transform her into a great person and at some point she may seem a bit OOC but that just can't be helped.

There is no possible way for her to be just like she was in SAO because she hadn't been through what I'm going to put her through with Sora…get what I mean?

Anyway I'll post more ideas and I want you guys to review!

Nyan!

"Sora!" Lizbeth screeched as she barely ducked in time to avoid another pesky heartless. She held up her mace in fear as if to hide behind it and closed her eyes tight.

There was a loud slicing noise and the familiar sound of a heart flying into the air before disappearing. She peeked from behind her mace meekly to see Sora panting heavily and smiling.

"You're getting better!" he said cheerily. Lizbeth pouted. "No I'm not! I suck! Killing a mob in the game is easy but a heartless is totally different!" Sora scratched the back of his head and laughed.

"The mobs in the game are run by the system. Heartless control themselves and can't be killed by a computer based weapon. I still can't grasp even the idea that you're an actual human being inside of SAO." She sighed, her brain hurt from even trying to think about it.

"I'm lost when it comes to games… I haven't had the time for them so everything you just said kind of went over my head hehe…" Sora laughed awkwardly.

It has been two months since Sora and Lizbeth's first meeting and the two became fast friends. After Sora found his gummy ship missing the two have no idea how he can get out of the game and back to his…worlds? Lizbeth still had trouble with understanding completely.

Sora explained to Lizbeth everything and she in turn explained everything about SAO; but it was difficult. Lizbeth had trouble figuring out the whole Heartless and nobody thing and Sora just doesn't understand games all too well. It's no help that Lizbeth keeps slipping up and using gamer lingo. She has to constantly explain to him what "Mob" means and "HP" apparently he hasn't played a video game since he was back on the island with his childhood friends Riku and Kairi and even then he had trouble.

"Let's just go home…" she sighed. Sora agreed and they made their way back. Sora stayed in the guest room above Lizbeth's shop. They became closer as time grew on and they both were able to read each other pretty well. Sora knew Lizbeth was having problems dealing with Kirito, he came by with Asuna every week and every time he could see it crushed her. He could hear her cry across the hall way.

The sky was just how it had been when they first met. The setting sun created an orange and pink look and the stars were just barely visible in the sky. This was Lizbeth's favorite part of the day and Sora knew it. It was his too, it brought him back to the days on the island with his friends. Now Kairi is with the organization and Riku is still nowhere to be found. He wished he could find them but he was stuck.

At times he was glad that he found Sword Art Online, but many times he caught himself regretting it. He needed to save his friends, and soon.

Sora and Lizbeth laughed and talked like usual but it was stopped short when Kirito ran into them as Lizbeth unlocked the door to the Smith.

"Thank goodness! I've been looking all over for you!" Kirito's smile made Lizbeth's heart beat quicken and Sora knew she was blushing. He didn't like it.

"What do you need?" she asked with a polite smile.

"I can't find Asuna. Do you know where she is?"

"Ok! Well we have lots to do so come back later ok? Maybe she's held up in a guild meeting or something" Sora grabbed Lizbeth's shoulders and guided her into the shop.

"O-Ok…" Kirito seemed confused.

Sora smiled a fake smile and said goodbye before shutting the doors and heaving a sigh.

"Thanks Sora…" Lizbeth let out a sigh and rubbed her temples.

"No problem" Sora said sadly. He knew what was going to happen and he didn't want to hear her crying tonight.

The two sat at the dinner table in silence. No one cared about the food. Both were lost in their own thoughts. Lizbeth drank her tea and stared off into the distance. Her eyes rested on Sora's left shoulder for no apparent reason. Sora on the other hand was watching Lizbeth's blank face. He thought about her. He always did. He worried over her all the time, he never showed it but he did.

He was angry at Kirito for doing this, couldn't he see how she felt? Copying her he picked up his mug of tea and leaned over the table. He watched her a bit longer before he decided to speak.

"Are-"a knock at the door startled them both. Lizbeth went to stand but Sora beat her to it and descended the stairs and made his way through the shop to answer the door while Lizbeth took her chance and let her tears fall silently.

Sora was not all too thrilled to find Asuna and Kirito at the door.

"We need to talk to Lizbeth" they both said in unison. Kirito and Asuna knew nothing about Sora not being from around here. Lizbeth and Sora both agreed it would be best not to tell anyone but they both truly just wanted the secret to feel closer.

It was tough to hide it though, considering Sora has no Hp bar or menu screen. Game mobs didn't even know he was there and he couldn't attack them. Unless it was a heartless he was useless.

"Why?" Sora asked.

"We need her to upgrade our gear, we found the boss for floor 75 and were heading out first thing with the NBO guild and some others."

"NBO?"

"Nights of the Blood Oath"

"Oh" Sora felt embarrassed for asking and he knew he made a dumb move. Everyone should know about the silly acronym but because he isn't a player he doesn't know.

"Upgrading gear?" Sora turned to see Lizbeth. Her voice was small and her eyes were slightly red from crying.

The two players looked taken aback by her state but ignored and smiled.

They nodded and Lizbeth took the gear.

"It will be done first thing in the morning, you can pick it up on the way yeah?" Sora always thought it was cute when she used yeah like that at the end of a sentence.

"Sounds good, see you tomorrow" they waved and walked away hand in hand. The sight made Sora gulp audibly. He knew how that affected Lizbeth.

OK so that's it…..ooooooohhhh boy I'm nervous

Nyan
