Kalluto blinked as the message came up. The boy read it and saw on his map that Doce was nearby at the town's checkpoint zone, so he ran there. Midway there it occurred to Kalluto that he could have just walked there.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~"Why am I running to see her?"~</span>he thought as he kept going.<span style="font-style: italic">~"is it possible I've developed a crush on her?"~</span><br/><br/>He stopped moving. "Well this is ass backwards." he huffed as he caught his breath and walked the rest of the way. Seeing Soren at the Checkpoint Zone, he walked up to her. "Sorry if that took too long. Was held up by... something." He said as the faintest sign of a blush crept onto his features. "But a bit of grinding sounds awesome. So are we leaving the- Holy Crap... is that... Frahlah?"<br/>__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br/><br/>JDizzle woke up and yawned widely. Suddenly his brain registered food being prepared. Now there was something people in his life knew about JD. He NEVER touched his stove. Being heat sensitive would do that to you. So when he smelled pancakes, he immediately shot up in bed.<br/><br/>"Mom, is that you?" He asked, still not completely awake.<br/><br/>"No silly! Asuna and I thought we'd treat you to some pancakes for making us feel so welcome here." Suguha's voice chimed as she walked over and helped JD off the couch. JDizzle smiled. "I could get used to that..." he muttered to himself as Asuna came into the room wearing her SAO Knights of the Blood Oath gear and carrying a tray of flat syrup covered doughy goodness. Rukia waled in and yawned. "Morning." she muttered. JDizzle looked up from a mouth full of pancakes and said. "Morn'n" with his mouth full. When they had all finished eating, JDizzle went to get the orbs to return them to the game. Strangely, there were now four where there had been two.<br/><br/>"Huh? Well at least that tells me a little more about the NPC situation..." he muttered. Walking back to the living room, he handed each girl an orb, while simultaneously thanking God that Asuna and Rukia weren't fighting over him yet. they all crushed the Orbs and were soon standing next to Doce and Kalluto at the chackpoint zone.<br/>___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br/><br/>"is that... Frahlah?" Kalluto finished as the JD, whom appeared as his Gun Gale Online Avatar, Rukia, Asuna, whom appeared as her SAO Avatar, and Suguha, now looking like her Alfhiem Online avatar Leafa, all appeared suddenly.<br/><br/>"Hey Kirito, who are the new girls, and which one of these is the real Doce?" he asked pointing at the two he had been talking to earlier.<br/><br/>JD blinked, and then visibly paled, as though he was looking at a ghost. "Uhhhh... what's going on here doce?"
