Mom!" Akira yelled scared as her parents were no where to be found. "where are you!" she whimpered and sat in th darkness as a light appeared and she turned her head confused.

She stood up and walked to it and everything went dead silent... then she woke up sweating "Was that a dream!?" she shrieked in her mind. "okay, no more redbull for me." She sighed and got out of bed and looked in the mirror.

"Uhg im a mess..." she said looking at her long curly hair which currently had looked like a rats nest, her baggy tanktop that had a symbol of her favorite video game console 'The Nerve Gear', and her solid black pajama pants.

"yeap theres a nerve gear room at the arcade" she smiled and handed him one and showed him the game "FBFO" she said to him "Fantasy Battle Forces Online"

The teacher whistled and she stuffed it in her bag "im playing it on the bus" she said getting on and sat with Alby and she pulled out the nerve gears "Ready?" she slid on her nerve gear and turned it on laying back in the seat as Alby nodded and did the same.
