A/N: Yes! I can finally- wait… I should probably explain this at the bottom of this chapter instead… ANNOUNCEMENT AT THE BOTTOM

Disclaimer: This sad author unfortunately doesn't own Sword Art Online.

"Well that really turned out REALLY unexpected." Liz said as they walked to Agil's shop where they were all going to meet up before everyone logged out.

"I was hoping to beat you Kirito-kun…" said a disheartened Asuna as she pouted.

"Did you think I wasn't hoping to beat you?" Kirito with the same tone as they both remembered the ending of their battle.

"At least I have some good footage from your fight! I might use this for advertising now…" Liz muttered as she walked ahead of the couple.

'Well at least I didn't lose...' the couple thought as they walked hand in hand, following Liz. It took only a few minutes until they finally reached Agil's shop, and walked in.

"Hey Kirito, What took so long!?" Klein asked, not waiting for a response as he took a large drink of what most likely in-game alcohol.

"Ask Liz." was all he said as he went to greet the owner. Klein immediately turned to Liz and gestured for her to tell her, which she gave him a mischievous smile. Asuna saw Sinon leaning against the counter talking with Agil and she quickly pulled Kirito back slightly.

"You think she told anyone?" she asked Kirito.

"I don't think so; most likely she'll use it as blackmail someday."

"Well, that's reassuring…" she said as they both continued to walk to where the blue haired Cait Sith and the Giant Gnome stood.

"Hey Agil-san, Sinon-san." Asuna said as they were within hearing range of the two people in the back. Said people turned at the mention on their player names and greeted them back.

"Hey guys, what took you so long? Klein was just about to break into his third bottle of wine from waiting for you three." Agil said as the Kirito and Asuna were at the counter. Kirito was about to answer but was unable for the voice of a certain pink haired blacksmith beat him to it.

"All of you get over here! Any question related to how come we're late will be answered now." She said as she took out 4 recording crystals from her inventory.

"Why do I get the feeling Liz-san is trying to humiliate someone?" Silica said as she appeared from the back of the shop with Pina on her shoulder.

"I wish I could humiliate someone… this is just for entertainment now apparently so watch." Liz said as she handed those who weren't at the duel a recording crystal. Everyone looked at the crystals suspiciously. Knowing Liz, the crystals could be traps in disguise. Four sets of eyes turned to look at the Spriggan and Undine.

"They are just normal recording crystals; just watch them before Liz does decide to do something." Kirito said to reassure them. All four of them began to look at the content on the crystals and after 10 minutes all eyes were on the couple to which neither of the two found comfortable.

"Any reason you two started to fight or is Kirito looking for a new thing to add to his 'List of Stupid Things'?" Sinon asked the two, causing Kirito too immediately to scowl at the second mention that day of a supposed list.

"We dueled to prove a point. Both Kirito-kun and Liz said that I was the most stubborn, so of course I wanted to prove them wrong so Kirito-kun and I had a challenge." Asuna explained.

"But you are stubborn…" Liz muttered behind Klein. Asuna was about to retort but Kirito spoke up before she could.

"Okay wait, first things first. Why does everyone think I have a list!?" Kirito asked to which he got a look that said 'the answers pretty obvious' with a few chuckles from the shopkeeper.

"We think you have a list because of what happened 3 days ago." Agil said to the raven haired boy, causing him to frown and everyone around him to laugh at the memory at when happened on that day.

"That wasn't my fault you know…" Kirito said in a poor defense. After this was said, everyone exchanged stories of when their say was spent like.

Silica spent the rest of the day with Agil in the shop after leaving Liz's shop since Agil asked for an extra hand earlier to help sorting through the new items that he had in the shop. Klein had been buying some wine bottles from a player merchant in the Salamander zone's capital, Gadan. Sinon had been in the imp territory training; at the mention of this a certain couple blushed slightly. After Sinon and Silica's visit, Liz had been forging weapons day all until Asuna and Kirito had entered her shop with an angry Lyfa. All eyes again turned to the couple for an explanation, which they managed to give a small 5 minute version.

"I thought it was weird that the city was mostly empty…" Klein said before he chugged another part of his wine, causing everyone to groan from the amount of wine Klein seemed to practically inhale. Kirito looked to the corner of his vision and saw the time, and nudged Asuna, who immediately understood what he meant.

"Sorry everyone, but we have to leave. We'll see you all tomorrow!" Asuna said as she and Kirito ran out of the store and flew to new Aincrad's first floor. It was about to be 3'o clock in the real world and they had promised to see Yui before logging out to say goodbye.

They soon reached the floor and flew to the orphanage that most kids in ALO would often hang out at; it was also the place that Yui would go to play at. As soon as the couple landed, their daughter ran to them and gave them both a flying hug.

"Mama, Papa! I'm having so much fun!" Yui said as she let go of her parents out of the death grip hug.

"That's good to hear Yui-chan! We were hoping you'd have fun playing with children here!" Asuna said as she smiled at her in-game daughter.

"I did! Did Papa get better used to his sword with Mama's help?" she asked as she looked between her parents.

"Of course I did! Asuna's help is was very useful and now I'm completely used to fighting with it." Kirito said as he picked up Yui so that she was on eye level with her parents.

"That's good to hear since if you said otherwise I'd get Liz to get her mace out." Asuna said as she gave Kirito a smirk and took Yui out of his hands.

"Are you and papa going to log out?" Yui asked Asuna.

"Yeah we are, but tomorrow when we log on at night, well spend the rest of the day together!" Asuna answered as she hugged Yui.

"Okay then! I'll see Mama and Papa at home tomorrow!" Yui said as she was lowered to the ground. Kirito ruffled her hair and gave her a kiss on the top of her head.

"We'll see you tomorrow Yui." said Kirito. The couple quickly exchanged goodbyes with their daughter and finally opened their menu and logged out from the game and into the real world.
