Cloud: so this is my first fanfic EVER and I would love reviews. I listen to all advise but I don't accept flames. This story is focusing on Doll cuz I haven't read any fanfics that use her as the main character. Also, since we don't know Dolls real name I just left it as Doll in real life. And even though Doll is a real life princess, I just made her an only child in a normal rich family. Hope you enjoy! R&R please!
P.S. (I fail at titles :P)
Disclaimer: I don't own 1/2 Prince or the characters. They all belong to the amazing Yu Wo. I only own the character Mei and the plot.
Notes: Italics are Dolls thoughts.
Edit: Thanks to Unseene and Stormy-g for reviews! And thanks a lot to Tiggipi for pointing out a few of my mistakes. I've made corrections and I plan on starting the next chapter soon.
Meeting Up
By CloudMaster
~~~In Game~~~
It was another normal day in Second Life. Or at least, as normal as things could get. Doll sat peacefully against a wall watching her friends prepare for another big concert. Lolidragon and the other girls were chasing Prince around the room waving around many new outfits for him to try on, while Yulian was going over the costs of the clothes and how much money was being earned from selling tickets. I really wish I could help out more... After a few minutes of watching Prince running from the insane bishie loving girls she got up and left the room to find something better to do with her time.
Walking down one of the many long halls of Infinite Castle she admired the colorful paintings that hung on the stone walls. Many were of landscapes while others were of flowers and other interesting plants. She had just stopped to look at a very pretty picture of the sun setting across the ocean when she heard voices around the corner. She recognized the voices of Wolf-nii and Gui. Putting on her adorable smile, she danced around the corner to greet her other team members.
"Hi Wolf-nii! Gui-nii! Why are you back here all by yourselves?" Wolf and Gui looked startled at her sudden appearance, but then they both smiled back.
"Hello Doll. We were just discussing a problem Gui is dealing with in real life." Wolf replied.
"Gui-nii has a problem?" Doll asked sweetly. "Can Doll help?" She looked up at Gui innocently. Gui looked uncertain at first, then relaxed and said, "Sure." Doll may just seem like an innocent little twelve year old, but she always surprised everyone with her mature advice.
"Gui and I work at the same university together." Wolf explained. "We both suspect that Prince is a student at the university but we already promised we wouldn't investigate him any further. Gui, however, is having a hard time trying not to look for Prince."
"Why don't you go ask Prince-nii about this then? If you think you know who he is, then you should tell him. He will tell you the truth if he wants to." Doll said. I really wonder why he keeps his real life so secret anyway...
"It's not that easy Doll. Last time this topic came up, Prince just tried to avoid the questions. And we can't just go up and ask a student if they are Prince." Gui pointed out.
"Hmm..." Doll placed her hands on her hips and scrunched up her face in concentration. Friends shouldn't keep secrets from each other. Prince should at least tell his team who he is, because then they could all help each other with real life problems along with in game problems. And if Prince got lost on another continent again, they would all be able to contact him. Then Doll came up with a great idea. "Why don't we just have a team meeting in real life? That way, Prince can show up if he wants to reveal his identity."
"Thats a great idea Doll!" Gui immediately agreed, eyes practically sparkling with excitement.
"We need to tell the rest of the team about this idea first before deciding on a place to meet. We only know that three out of the six of us live in the same city."
"Doll can meet up anywhere, so lets go ask Yulian-jiejie and Lolidragon-jiejie how far away they are!" Doll jumped up in excitement.
"I'll send everyone a message telling them to meet us by the lake." Wolf said. "Lets go!" Doll grabbed both Wolf and Gui and started pulling them out of the castle and towards the lake in Infinite City.
~~~A short while later at the lake~~~
Doll, Wolf, and Gui were the first to arrive at the lake. They sat down together forming the start of a circle. Doll was staring out at the still water when Yulian arrived and sat down next to Wolf.
"So what's all this about meeting in real life?" Yulian questioned.
"Doll will share her idea when Prince and Lolidragon are here." Right after Wolf finished speaking, Doll saw Prince and Lolidragon coming around the lake.
"So whats all this about?" Prince asked as he sat down on the grass looking over at Wolf. Lolidragon sat down next to prince, closing off the circle the team was forming.
"Well, Doll had a great idea. She pointed out that friends shouldn't keep secrets from each other, so she said we should all meet up in real life." Prince looked shocked. Lolidragon and Yulian though, loved the idea.
"We have been a team for a long time. It will be nice to finally meet each other!" Yulian said looking at Wolf.
"You two both work at the same university right?" Lolidragon spoke to Wolf and Gui. "What university is it? we could all meet somewhere nearby."
"It's XX university in T. City. There's a nice quiet park close by that we could meet at." Gui told everyone the directions to the park.
"Well, I only live a few hours away from T. City, so I wont have any problems getting there." Lolidragon said. Yulian nodded, saying, "Same here."
"Prince?" Wolf said. All eyes turned to Prince, who seemed very nervous.
"Uh... Well..." He shifted his eyes away from his team.
"Oh, come on Prince." Lolidragon nudged him with her elbow. "It will just be our team. Besides, I already know who you are in real life so you won't be alone if you decide to show up."
"...I'll think about it." He finally decided.
"Well then, it's decided. We should all meet at the park in T. City on Saturday." Everyone nodded in agreement before saying their goodbyes and logging off.
~~~In Real Life~~~
Doll removed her gaming helmet and set it next to her bed. Sitting up, she glanced around her neat little room. There were shelves on a wall filled with expensive little glass figures, porcelain dolls in little pink dresses, and small photos of Doll with friends and family. In a corner of the room, old stuffed animals in perfect condition sat grouped together, staring right back at Doll with lifeless eyes.
She pushed back her bed sheets and slid off, shivering a bit as her bare feet touched the cold floor. Walking over to her closet, she thought about meeting her friends in real life. This is going to be so much fun! Lolidragon-jeijei and Yulian-jeijei probably wont look to much different, Gui-nii will probably look the same but with shorter hair... That leaves Wolf-nii and Prince-nii. I wonder what they look like? Only three days till saturday. She put on a simple navy blue dress with long sleeves and pulled on white knee-high socks before turning around and leaving the room. Her brown hair was already in two neat braids that hung down her back and bounced as she walked.
Once downstairs she went to find her parents at their usual spots in the dining room for breakfast. But today they weren't there. As she sat down at the empty table the families cook, Mei, came in with a smile and a plate of food.
"Good morning Doll! Your parents left for America a wile ago and won't be back until Tuesday." Mei said wile setting down a plate of Bao Zi (stuffed buns) and a cup of hot tea. Mei was hired to cook and babysit Doll when Doll was only 4. They became great friends over the years. Doll was closer to Mei than she was to her parents. Her parents were always gone on trips around the world. Doll sighed and picked up a bun. Bitting into the bun she had an idea.
"Mei-jeijei? Since my mother and father are gone on a trip, can we go on one too? My team in second life is meeting up at a park in T. City on Saturday, but we could go early and explore the city!" Doll asked hopefully.
"Well..." Mei could never resist those adorable blue eyes. She looked at Doll for a few seconds before saying, "Sure, why not. I'll go see if I can get us a hotel room while you stay here and finish your breakfast. We can leave tomorrow."
"Ok!" Doll replied.
Cloud: So did you like it? I'm hoping to continue but only if I get reviews! :)
