Attendant: "We'll be arriving shortly at Caile City. Please make sure you bring all of your small luggage with you as we descend."

A girl in the back of the the business section is staring at her phone.

Girl: "(confused) Huh? We're landing?"

An hour ago at a house a ways from the airport...

Lady: "William!"

A boy with shaggy black hair and glasses walks in.

William: "(groaning) What mom?"

Mom: "Your sister should be arriving in an hour.

William: "(panicking) Oh shit that's today! (in head) And I was just thinking about that girl who found my info last week..."

William puts up his hand where a glove that pulls up a guild chat is on.

William: "(typing) Guys, I'm heading over to the airport. You can come if you want, I'm just getting my half sister..."

Six responses say yes shortly afterwards.

William: "I'll head over."

William rushes out the door.

William: "(in head) And Walker just released the Martial Artist class! We were going to check it out today!"

Forty-five minutes later William arrives to find four people sitting in the lobby of the airport.

??? 1: "Looks like the one who called us is the last one."

William: "Sorry Kyle."

Two twins sit up.

Twins: "No kidding!"

A bigger kid looks away from his glove.

Big Kid: "Oh shit!"

William: "Again sorry Anthony, Isabel, and Robert."

A girl with a music note pattern T-Shirt comes back from the bathroom along with a boy in a brown skull patterned T-Shirt.

William: "I was wondering you two ended up Micheal and Andrea."

Andrea: "I still can't get over the fact that you have a half sibling..."

Micheal: "Do you have any idea on what she's like?"

William: "(shrugging) I don't know."

A plane begins to arrive a few minutes later.

Kyle: "Looks like she's here."

People begin walking in from the nearby hallway until the girl on her phone shows up.

William: "Excuse me, but are you Risa Faire?"

The girl is completely glue to her phone.

Kyle: "(waving arm across her face) Hello?"

No response.

Micheal: "Well I've got nothing except..."

Micheal shakes her a bit to no response.

Girl: "(looking away) That was a good episode."

Everyone falls backwards.

William: "(annoyed) Is your name Risa Faire?"

Risa: "Yeah, how do you know?"

William: "I'm your half brother William Faire."

Risa can see the resemblance.

Risa: "I see it."

A box and a suitcase with a collection of anime guy stickers rolls down a conveyor belt.

Risa: "Oh that's my stuff! Do you mind helping William?"

William grabs the box as Risa grabs the suitcase as the others look confused.

William: "(struggling) What's in here?"

Risa: "My manga collection."

Kyle hurries over to help William.

Kyle: "(struggling) This must be a lot of manga!"

Risa sees the others.

Risa: "Who're these people?"

William: "(struggling) My friends. We call ourselves Shining Star."

Micheal: "Nice to meet you Risa."

Risa: "I know you guys, you're all over the news."

Micheal holds out his hand as Risa walks away.

Twins: "Uh..."

Risa: "Can you help me take this stuff home?"

William/ Kyle: "(struggling) Sure..."

The group slowly walks over to William's house on the other side of town and arrive an hour later.

Ms Faire: "Welcome Risa! Your room is upstairs at the end of the hall."

Risa: "Now let's hurry over there you two."

William: "(wheezing) Do you mind switching with us?"

Micheal and Anthony take over for Kyle and William.

Anthony: "(struggling) this is really heavy!"

The group struggles their way upstairs and drop the box off in the doorway of the room.

Risa: "So this is my room... pretty basic right now."

Micheal: "(wheezing) Can we get a thank you?"

William's mom walks in.

Ms Faire: "William, why don't you let Risa join your Shining Star?"

William locks up.

William: "Mom, don't you know my job? Dealing with dangerous hackers and anyone who attempts to get to Walker."

Ms Faire: "That is true, but I can already tell that Risa will be just shut in here all summer watching anime and reading manga."

Risa: "Huh?"

William: "Do I even have a choice?"

Ms Faire: "Nope."

William: "(sighing) Come on Risa, we'll get you registered."

Risa gets up from the bed in the corner of the room.

Risa: "Registered for what now?"

Andrea: "Just listen to us or Ms Faire will drag you out."

Risa: "Alright..."

Ms Faire: "I'll take care of putting your stuff away."

The eight leave the house.

Isabel: "The nearest login is down the street."

The eight head down the street.

Risa: "Where are we going?"

William: "To make you a Pixel Reality account."
