"Yeah...okay.....I know, I'm also excited...hmhm.....uhm....mine will be 'Akane'...okay...or something like that...and yours? - Okay....then I'll see you later! Bye!" She hung up the call and turned off her phone. Her flatmate came into the room asking:"Hey, can I have the rest of your food in the pan?"
"No, don't touch it, that's for later.", she answered. 
The boy sighed disappointed and said:"Really? Come on, I'm hungry and you didn't wash off after cooking. How can I cook for myself when everything's dirty? And I don't want to clean up after you!" This was a good argument. But she didn't want to waste more time with cleaning when there was this brand new and super special VR game waiting for her. She also told her friends to be in game in the next few minutes. "Can't you just get yourself a pizza or something?"
"I could.....but...I could also eat the food in the pan right now and we could order some pizza later.", he said with a smile. 
"You only want me to pay for your meal, stupid" And in this moment, both started to laugh. Both knew, that her mate was only to lazy for cooking or going to the next pizza parlor. "But you could clean the mess in the kitchen after eating...and I will pay for the pizza."
"Yeah...that sounds like a plan.", he responded.
"Okay, I'll be back at.....eleven, I guess. Five hours may be enough for the first time." 
"That's crazy. Five hours. I would rather be at the bar with my friends. But have fun." After that, he went out of the room. She ignored the last comment and put the VR helmet on her head. 'He doesn't know what he's missing.', she thought and logged in. 
The game was overwhelming . There was so much, she could choose to be or look like. It took her three hours to create an avatar comparing all the posibilities. But at the end, she decided to be a swordsman. The rest was really easy: a Rapier as first weapon, the skills she started with and off course her username: Akane. Entering the game was like giving up her old live and beeing born into a new world with a new identity. Akane knew already, that she wouldn't leave this game after five hours. This world was just too big to leave it after such a short time. She would spend the whole night exploring the game, eventhough she wouldn't meet her friends in the game because they were either too busy with creating a character or exploring the world on their own like Akane.

BlueJay entered the game and was amazed by the wide and beautiful view around her. The horizont wasn't real and this place wasn't either, but she already felt like she was outside on a wonderful place, breathing fresh air and feeling the warmth of the sun. While the game couldn't perform these realistic conditions, her imagination made up the rest for her to feel this way. She looked down at her costume and was excited. It wasn't the game itself that made her want to play, the challenges and obtainable skills, but the looks. She wanted to look like a magical girl and there she was, wearing this costume, and was more jubilant than ever. She turned herself to see how her skirt moves with the bells and bows, the frills and ornaments in silver and blue. Then she started running whithout any clue where to go now. She looked if there was any mission, she could already do or a point, where she would meet with someone, totally overlooking the message in the upper right corner of her sight.
BlueJay wanted to explore as much as she can in the few hours, before her brother would come back from work. This wasn't her VR helmet, she was wearing. It was her brothers, who worked so hard to collect the money for buying this system and the game. She didn't want to touch it, but she was just too curious as she looked into her brothers room. Everything was prepaired for him too enter the game right after he would be coming home. The helmet was plugged in, the game was installed, even his bed was made, so he would lie comfortable while gaming. This was an invitation! How could she not try it? Three hours where enough time to enter the game, explore it a bit and then leave it and prepaire everything as she has never been in her brothers room to play his new game. 
Right now, there were still two hours left untill her brother would come back home. 'Enough time', she thought.
