Glitch's gray, green-tipped, glitchy tail whipped back and forth as she pondered. She didn't like being here alone, even if she had her sister, Anti-Virus (who preferred to just be called Anti) with her.

She wanted more.

She wanted friends.

She wanted a real world.

She wanted...

"I WANT OUT OF HERE!" she screeched at the top of her lungs, causing Anti to jump.

"Glitch? Are you okay?" the quiet sister signed.

She was never one for talking, so she usually signed her words or used tail signals.

"No, I'm not okay. I'm tired of being here. I'm tired of being cooped up in this place. Surely there's another world out there somewhere. I want to find it. I want to find other people to spend time with." Glitch said with a sigh. "Don't get me wrong, I like having you here. But...I just wish there was more..."

Anti looked at Glitch and quietly sighed. "I'm sorry, but there's no evidence of another world. For all I know, this is it. I don't know why there isn't anyone, or anything, else, but... there's really no reason to complain."

"But there HAS to be more!"

"There ISN'T, Glitch..."

"But..."

Anti cut her off with a flick of her tail. "Just... ... it'll be fine. We just have to stay strong..."

Glitch dismissed the thought with a scoff. "Pfft, 'stay strong.' Yeah, right." she muttered, then, even though there was really nothing to explore, she did so anyway.

She needed some time away from Anti.

She walked to a farther part of their secluded world and began to think, then got an idea.

"Wait a second, we can manipulate reality, right? So, what if I..."

She exposed the coding and began to hack. She didn't know what she was doing, but she did it anyway, hoping something would happen.

And then, it did.
