Bibi looked outside the window from her bedroom. It was Saturday, perfect for a Boss Fight. Yet, Bibi herself didn't feel like it. Sure, that was cool, but it had gotten way too boring for her. She looked at her beloved bat. "Hey, Mr. Bat, do ya ever think we could actually be characters  inside a multiplayer online battle arena game?"

Mr. Bat stared at Bibi with a permanent-marker smile and an odd silence.

"Yeah, I don't think so either," mumbled Bibi.

She wiped her bat until it shone with the reflection of the sun. Sighing, she chewed on some bubble gum she always kept with her. As she blew a big bubble and popped it continuously, she screamed,"It's just so boring here!!!!"

Suddenly, a ping came from her phone. She jumped up from her position near the window and pounced on her phone.

"Huh, no one normally texts me," Bibi mumbled."Oh, it's Jessie. What's this? A new invention?"

Bibi read through the text. An actual virtual reality video game? Huh, guess I should check this stuff out. Bibi texted that she would be at Jessie's house soon. She grabbed Mr. Bat and went downstairs.

Tara had taken the morning to polish her tarot cards. She treated them with great care, for they were her pride and joy... not to mention some lethal ammunition.

However, she was bored out of her bandages. Sandy was sleeping whilst standing next to a pillar in their desert temple. Tara was sure that the sleep-deprived boy would fall over any minute then, but he still stood high in a deep sleep. Gene, on the other hand, had gone to play Bounty. Tara chuckled, remembering that one time Gene accidentally pulled a Bull... let's just say that didn't end very well.

Just then, Tara heard a notification from her phone. (YES,EVEN MAGIC PEOPLE HAVE PHONES WHAT DO YOU THINK)

She packed her cards and tucked them away before checking. She herself didn't get too many messages. All she got were requests for a tarot card reading appointment. Her readings were very accurate -- another reason why she treasured her cards -- and were famous all around town.

It as from Jessie. Something about a virtual reality video game? She was inviting Bibi too? Well, Bibi was Jessie's friend after all. And Tara did help her with the game, too. She had casted a Sucking Reality Game spell famous with the magical game addicts of another realm. However, she had no idea what it was for, as Jessie had seemed to be in a hurry to complete it. Oh well, at least now she'll know what it was for.

Saying a silent goodbye to Sandy, she created a rip through the parallel universes and realms.     ( for the sake of the readers, lets call it a portal  ) She climbed into it and disappeared with a small cloud of smoke.

Sandy woke up, shaking his head from his never-ending sleep. He looked at the empty room... aaannd continued his slumber, sliding down on the floor.
