She makes it a point to join the 'Chosen Ones' Familia in order to potentially become friends with her. If the 'Chosen One' gives her crest to join her Familia, they would definitely become friends right?

Return To Real Kingdom Online

Deciding who would sleep where in Jenny's small apartment ended up becoming a friendly argument that lasted an hour with Jenny finally giving in and letting Videl sleep with her on the bed, even though there was a perfectly fine couch in the living room.

Videl's argument was that Jenny's bed was so big that she wouldn't even notice her. The bed was indeed big enough to fit all three of them if they wanted to. However, Jenny didn't feel comfortable with having people she met today sleeping right next to her.

Luna wasn't a part of the argument at all as she would just enter her pocket room in Videl crest and sleep there.

It was the cute puppy dog eyes that got her. Jenny couldn't say no to the cute puppy dog eyes. Plus, she couldn't help feeling like she trusted them even after all the crazy thing she learned from them today.

So, when Jenny woke up the next morning with a sleeping Videl hugging her, she just carefully pried the past out girls arms off of her in order to get up. It surprised her that her first reaction to the situation wasn't to freak out which would have caused Videl to wake up.

Jenny quietly made her way to the bathroom and after she shut the door, she leaned against it and slid down to sit on the floor. She now had time to think.

'I really do seem to trust these guys for some reason. I wouldn't have let them stay overnight otherwise, let alone in my bed with me.'

*sigh*

Jenny sighed thinking about the things she witnessed Luna do. That was probably the only reason she believed their story. Not to mention the fact her form of communication seemed to be a kind of telepathy.

If this wasn't a sign that they were form a different world, she didn't know what was. She still didn't want to believe that Real Kingdom Online was a real world but it seems like she was going to be disappointed.

Then again, it wasn't all doom and gloom. If Real Kingdom Online was real, that meant all the NPCs she made friends with in Pendragon city were real too. These people were her closest friends as she didn't really have any in real life not to mention when she left the player populated areas of the game, she also drift from her in game friends too.

Thinking about it this way, she decided that if helping this self-proclaimed goddess and her 'Chosen One' could help the NPC friends she made, then she would do so without complaint.

Videl felt around for her body pillow, but when she couldn't find it, she got up. At the same time, Jenny exited the bathroom to see Videl look at her with a wronged expression.

"What? I'm not a body pillow, don't look at me like that!" Jenny stated clearly.

"Aww... Fine." Videl groggily said before forcing herself to get up.

'So, are we ready to return to the world you call Real Kingdom Online?' Luna asked once she saw they were both up.

"Yea, I left a message on Ultra Bright Gaming's business e-mail last night and we should hear back form them within a few days. Not that I'm confident they will be willing to let us visit them." Jenny said in response.

'Ok, we can always find some other way to get into contact with them. I have a few ideas of my own if that's the case. Anyways, you will let Videl use your E-merseU while you will use the one your uncle brought over, correct?' Luna said wanting to confirm.

"Of course, I did agree last night." Jenny said as she began to set up the new E-merseU before having breakfast.

And just a few minutes later, after everyone was had their fill of toast, they were both laying on her bed once again while wearing the E-merseUs.

"Before we log in, where were you guys located before you logged off?" Jenny asked.

'We should be about two to three hours away from Pendragon city.' was Lunas reply.

"Ok, I'll wait for you guys in the city then. Good luck."

With that, they both hit the log in button.

Jenny, now playing the role of Tiana Tastuya, woke up in her room in her Familia's building. It was a Victorian style mansion and her room was decked out in Victorian style furniture. Getting up from the bed, Tiana walked over to the dresser that had a small mirror hanging above it.

Her normal routine when logging in was to look at this mirror to remind herself that she was now playing as Tiana Tatsuya. However, that was going to change today as she was about to confided in her best friends, the five members of her Familia that she was closest with. Of the hundred plus members her Familia had, these five were the ones that would travel with her when she went to do quests and helped her take care of the Familia when she was gone without needing to be asked.

After taking a deep breath she decided to use one of her Familia related skills.

[Message Familia]

The skill allowed her to send a telepathic message to all her Familia members in certain area around her. Which, in this case, encompassed the entire mansion and a small portion of the city.

"Leala, Harley, Jacoby, Chloe, and Miiya, please head to the meeting room. I have something I want to discuss. As for everyone else, we will be having some quests arriving soon, so please make sure we are prepared to receive them. Thank you."

After sending out the message, she left her chamber to head for the meeting room herself.

****************

As for Videl, she had not logged out laying down on a bed, so she logged in standing in the same place she had been when she logged out, right in front of the small shrine Luna had been hiding in.

Yesterday, during the time that they had been waiting for Tiana's uncle to arrive, Videl had been given a crash course on what the interface she could now see was and how to use it. What she was most curious about was her level. Tiana had explained that the higher your level the stronger you were and the more skills you could learn.

However, when she saw what level she was, Videl frowned with a feeling of despair. She was only level ten. Tiana had told her that the magic fire dragon skill she had used back then required level seventy-five to learn. Videl really wanted to learn that skill.

'Don't worry, there is a reason I negotiated for you to use Tiana's E-merseU. You should now have a huge experience boost so it shouldn't be long before you hit that level.' Luna said trying to cheer Videl up.

"I guess you're right."

After recollecting herself, Videl looked around to make sure there was nothing dangerous in the area before heading down the path once more. Thinking about how on the previous day she had been running down this very path full of excitement, Videl was left feeling awkward with all of the things that had happened in between then and now.

But, when she thought about how she was on her way to meet with Tiana Tatsyua in the from she knew best, her excitement started to return and before long she was running down the path once again as Luna pleaded with her to slow down and conserve her energy.
