3 months had passed since their failed trip, Emil and Lora are getting ready for their upcoming wedding. "Emil! Mom and Dad said they are about to land on the airport let's go pick them up" Lora informed Emil. "Sure thing" Emil replied. They arrive at the airport and greeted Lora's parents. "Hi Mr. and Mrs. Martin, how are you both doing?" Emil asked. "We're fine thank you, it's been a while since we've been to America" Mr. Martin said. "Let me help you guys out with your luggage so we can go get lunch" Emil offered for help. "Oh thank you Emil, you're such a gentleman" Mrs. Martin said. Emil brings them to a popular restaurant.
"It's been a while since we all had a talk like this, why don't we catch up? What is your current occupation Emil?" Mr. Martin asked. "Oh, umm... I work for a Big Company that makes games, we just released a new game a few months ago and it was pretty successful!" Emil answered. "That's good then, we are hoping for the best for both of you" Mr. Martin said. "Oh that reminds me, Lora what happened to your case? Have they caught person who shot you yet? You never updated us about it" Mrs. Martin asked. "Uhmm.. y... yes Mom they have!" Lora answered nervously. "Emil! cou... could you help me go to the bathroom?" Lora hinted that she wants to talk to Emil privately. "Oh excuse us, we will be back" Emil said. "Umm... what is it that you want to say about?" Emil asked. "I'm worried i might get one of my "visions" while were with them, what should we do if i do?" Lora asked. "We can't really control it since we didn't get to talk to Mr. Michael properly, let's just hope that you won't have a "vision" today" Emil replied. They went back to their table to continue to chat with Lora's parents.
They all just finished eating and Emil is now driving Lora's parents to their hotel, luckily Lora didn't get any "visions" while she was her with parent. "Thank you Emil for the lunch!" Mr. and Mrs. Martin said. "Oh it's nothing i'm happy to treat you guys" Emil replied. Mr. and Mrs. Matin left to go and rest in the hotel. While they are still parked Lora suddenly start having "visions". "E.. EMIL?!?" Lora shouted as her surroundings change into a more digital look. "It... it's gonna be okay your parents are no longer here, just concentrate" Emil said as he tries to calm Lora down. A few seconds later the door from the back suddenly opens. "Oh Emil we forgot a bag... Wha... WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?! WHY IS MY DAUGHTER CRYING?!?" Mr. Martin shouted. "Uh... wait Mr. Martin i can explain!" Emil responded. Lora hears her dad shouting. "Da... dad?! i... is that you i hear?" Lora asked. "Yes it's me!" Mr. Martin exclaimed. Mr. Martin turns to Emil with a menacing glare. "Young man you better have a good reason why my daughter is crying" Mr. Martin said. "Da... dad it's ok Emil did nothing wrong! Emil I... I'm fine now" Lora said. Mr. Martin looks at both of them confused.
The three of them went to inside Mr. and Mrs. Martin's room. "Oh! What are you two doing here?" Mrs. Martin asked. "We have something to talk about" Mr. Martin said. The four of them sat down to talk at the living room. "So are you gonna tell us what's happening?" Mr. Martin asked Emil. "Dad i told you there is nothing wrong!" Lora exclaimed. "THERE CLEARLY IS!" Mr. Martin shouted. "Oliver! you're letting your anger take over you!" Mrs. Martin said. "You two stay here, i'm gonna try and calm him down so we can talk properly" Mrs. Martin said as she takes Mr. Martin with her to calm him down. An hour passes and Mr. Martin is ready to talk with them again. "Emil, give me a straight answer, did you hurt my daughter?" Mr. Martin asked. "No, i did not Sir..." Emil answered nervously. "Then tell me why Lora was crying?" Mr. Martin questioned Emil. "Back in the restaurant me and Lora agreed to not tell you about our problem because we don't want you to get involved..." Emil said. "What problem?" Mrs. Martin asked. "Mom it's a long story... A few months ago there was a group of people who tried to sabotage Star Creations' new game by implementing a virus into the game, they successfully got the virus inside and it caused a lot of trouble" Lora said. "Then we tried to get rid of it but we couldn't till it came to point where they were trying to stop us so they shot Lora, Lora was then kidnapped experimented on" Emil continued. "The experiment affected me, my surroundings turn into a digital one and there is a creature there wanting to kill me but it couldn't because i was not fully inside that world I'm like a spirit traveling there" Lora said. "I know it's hard to believe but please believe us" Emil pleaded. Mr. and Mrs. Martin looked at each other in silence trying to understand what happened. "I'm very sorry..." Mr. Martin apologized. "We may not fully understand it all but hope you two would forgive us about this misunderstanding" Mrs. Martin said. "I... It's fine Ma'am" Emil responded. "Why don't you two stay here and rest before you return home?" Mrs. Martin offered. "That would be lovely!! Thank you" Emil responded. Emil and Lora stayed at Mr. and Mrs. Martin's hotel room for 30 minutes to rest.
The have rested and have agreed to get going. "Mom, Dad we are about to head down, thank you again for listening to us" Lora said. "No worries! We we're just worrying about you" Mrs. Martin said. "Emil!" Mr. Martin called over. "Ye... Yes Sir?" Emil asked. "I am sorry about what happened earlier and thank you for taking care of our only daughter" Mr. Martin said. "Oh, it's nothing Sir!" Emil replied. "Oh! and Emil, call us Mom and Dad" Mr. Martin said. "Yes Si... i mean Dad!" Emil said. The two went and drove home happily after telling Mr. and Mrs. Martin about what happened in the past.
