Chapter 1

(Aphmau crashed through her door.  She threw her bag on the couch and sat down quickly in her swivel chair.  She adjusted her mic masterfully and turned on the computer in a flash)

Aphmau:  Sorry I'm late Shadow_bear.  Mr. Grim kept us later then normal.
Shadow_Bear:  No prob Aph_goes_meow.  I was just getting started on the gira_gouls.
Aphmau: Them again!  Ugh.  That group thinks they r so special, just because they have Agreth enchanted swords.  They r no match for our Irene enchanted armor.  Let's get em!
Shadow_Bear: WHOA, slow down there Aph.  U know the only way we can beat these gouls is by surprise.  Now u use ur invis shield and attack from behind.  I'll be the distraction.
Aphmau: No Shadow_bear.  I don't let u do this.  I don't want u to die.  Then u will have to start all over.  I can't lose u Shadow_bear.  U know that ur the only person I like who plays World of Diariescraft.  I... I lo.. Never mind...

(Shadow_bear was silent)

Aphmau: Hello?  Shadow_bear?  Oh no, wat have I done...

(Aphmau ended the call.  She covered her face with her hands)

Aphmau: Why did I have to say that?  That made me sound so sappy.  (I wish I didn't have a crush on him.  I mean I don't even know his name.  I sigh and turn off the computer. I don't feel like playing anymore.  I get up and walk to my room and lay there face down for wat seems like an eternity)

(Just then, the door swings open and Katelyn walks in and heaves her pack on to the arm chair)

Katelyn: Aphmau?  R u home?  I bet ur back there on the computer with ur "boyfriend"!  (She looks around confused, for she doesn't see Aphmau at the computer.  She sees Aphmau's backpack, but no Aphmau) Aphmau, where r u? 

(Aphmau gave a groan from her room and Katelyn walks up to the door and opens it gently.  She sees Aphmau lying in that position and stifles a laugh, then regains her composure)

Katelyn: Wats wrong Aphmau?
Aphmau: I said something stupid to Shadow_bear, and I'm afraid he will hate me for it.
Katelyn- Oh, I'm sure it's not that bad.  Wat did u say?
Aphmau: I said (gulp) I can't lose u and ur the only one I know who  plays this game.  And... And.. I almost said (I look away) I love u..
Katelyn: Well, it's not that bad.  Plus I think it's fair he learns ur feelings for him soon anyway.
Aphmau: (blush) But wat if he doesn't like me back and we end up being all awkward and growing apart!  I can't have that!  I, I just don't want him to leave!

(Kawaii Chan by this time has finished work and just opened the door to hear the last few words)

Kawaii Chan: Don't want who to leave?
Aphmau: (looks at the floor)
Katelyn: No one Kawaii Chan.
Kawaii Chan: Ooook, if Katelyn~chan says so.
