I smiled but felt my body tense up rapidly as I recognized it in a fraction of a second. I walked quickly to my desk and flipped open my laptop. My fingers ran through keyboard and opened up the chat box in Virtual Planet Warriors.

krazy_bunny: Did you get my "present"?

bagel_crazy: Are you kidding me?!!

krazy_bunny: I am so sorry if my world's chat box scared you.

bagel_crazy: Chat box? It did not scare me until now!!

krazy_bunny: Trust me, I promise it will not do any harm to you whatsoever.

I stared at the "chat box" unsure whether to believe his promise or not. After all, I had trusted so many people who shouldn't have been trusted and he did sound a lot like a trustworthy person.

Suddenly, a shade of blue- lighter than the one which covered the globe- appeared, revealing an Australia- shaped land.

Ping!

krazy_bunny: That is how the habitable part of my planet looks.

I felt like he typed in this sentence proudly and as if he missed his planet.

bagel_crazy: You are proud of it, aren't you? Do you miss your planet?

krazy_bunny: I WAS proud of it. Now it is run by a really bad government which is using its people to hitch huge conspiracies against another planet. Even though the conditions are bad back there, I miss my sister who is held hostage and I am waiting to go back to my planet.

Whoa! That was too much information for me to suck in at once. I was very sure I looked like a cartoon with my mouth hanging low and my eyes wide as saucers. But I didn't care because I... did not know how to feel, if that is even possible.

Amazed, amused and confused described my feelings the best at this point.

bagel_crazy: Hold on! You have a family and your planet has a government?!

krazy_bunny: Hey! You are racist! it is okay for your planet to have all these and surprising for my planet to have all these? One word- mean.

bagel_crazy: Racist- Having or showing the belief that a particular race is superior to another.

bagel_crazy: But you don't belong to a race!

krazy_bunny: See that? Racist! Right there! I belong to the Nelibian race.

krazy_bunny: You humans are the meanest existing things in this universe. Don't be shocked but you are the only person who has chatted with me for so long.

Wait a minute! Am I being called a fool indirectly? I grumpily stabbed at the keys of my keyboard....

bagel_crazy: What do you mean?

krazy_bunny: I mean when I tell them the truth, they say 'weirdo' and block me. Even though I can hack into their account, unblock me and nag them again, I don't do that.

bagel_crazy: Why?

krazy_bunny: Because I don't want to have friends who don't want me as a friend.

This made me pity him and I wanted to tell him that I was his friend. Apart from the fact that he was an awesome alien gamer, I knew nothing about him. Not even his name or the way he looks.

Even if I told him I was his friend, I would prove to be a really bad friend. I had a gut feeling that he would look really gross but my curiosity.... well, you know about it, don't you?

bagel_crazy: If you don't mind, will you send me a picture of yourself?

krazy_bunny: Sure!

Hey readers! I was really nervous about the last chapter because I had a weird feeling that I was losing readers. But no! You are all too sweet to do that.
