(After the Disney trip.)
(Aaaand yes, I have figured out who it is that Aricka will be dating...I'll let you guess who it is... ^-^)
Mark, Jack, Ethan, Dodie, Dan, Phil, and I were the only kids in our group of friends who didn't leave over fall break. So, we were all hanging out at the park. Jack and I were sitting in the gazebo while the others played Frisbee. "Shouldn't you be out there?"
"Out where?" he asks.
"Playing Frisbee with everyone else." Sean smiled and took my hand.
"Why go play with the friends I've known all my life and not get to know the prettiest girl I've ever met?" I look away, blushing.
"W-well, I-I uh-"
"No, I'm serious. I want to get to know you better." he says. I look back at him and grin.
"I'm only 14, you know."
"So am I," he points out. "I'm not asking you to marry me-I just want to spend more time with you." I let out a laugh.
"Okay. Let's do it. Fire away." his eyes lit up, and he moves to sit in front of me.
"Favorite color."
"Blue-a soft blue," I answer, not even hiding the fact that his eye color is my new favorite color. "You?"
"Red," he replies. "Favorite song?"
"Get To Know You," By Jai Waetford." (.) I brush a strand of hair from my face.

That night I sat up in my room, thinking about Sean-Jack, as he let us call him. A silly smile made its way onto my face, and I let out a giggle. "He's such a dork," I mumble.
"Who're you talking to, kiddo?" Patton asks. I jump, and reply,

"Oh, no one. Just thinking." He comes and sits in front of me.
"What'cha thinking about?"
"Jack," I answer without thinking and blush. Patton squeals,
"Aw, you've got your first crush!"
"Patton," I whine and grab my heart pillow, gently hitting him with it. "Don't talk too loud, that'll bring Roman in."
"Did someone say Prince?" Roman appears, and I jump.
"Uggh!" I groan jokingly. "Can't a girl have five minutes of privacy around here?" I ask my pillow.
"You love me and you know it," he answers. "Now, I believe I heard the word crush coming from this room. Who's got the love issue?" I raise my hand.
"Me. You know my friend Jack?" Roman nods. "He says he wants to get to know me, and he's always calling me gorgeous, pretty, adorable, cute. I don't know what he's trying to say-I've barely known him for three months, but I already like him."
Thomas walks in. "Aricka, Jack's here to see you." Roman smiles at me.
"Why don't you tell him?"
"Me? Tell him? That's like-like Harry Potter telling Draco Malfoy he fancies him. I'm scared to!"
"Well, maybe he came here to tell Aricka," Patton offers. I walk out, face flaming, down to where Jack was.

Jack was sitting on the couch, but when he saw me, he stood up. "Come outside with me," he tells me, and I follow him.
We sit on the swing, and he starts playing music-Get to Know You, by Jai Waetford. "Jack-?" he smiles, and starts singing,
"Your eyes, your smile, I can't read, what they're telling me
One time, is all that I need (yeah, yeah)
Don't hide behind, those looks, that you're giving me

I wanna get to know you better (you better, you better, you better)
I wanna get to know you better (oh yeah)
'Cause I just want to get to know ya' .." he finishes.
We sit back down, and he says, "Aricka, I can't wait any longer. As soon as you left the park, I ran home, learned this song, and came here to ask you-will you go out with me?"
I look in the window and see Roman and Patton giving me thumbs-up signs. I turn and smile at him.
"I will."

New Chapter every day! The Legion Consortia Galacium was the greatest civilization that ever existed. It stretched across the galaxy, made up of more than ten thousand distinct human cultures with over two hundred thousand inhabited worlds. Millenia in age it was connected through a system of extra-spacial conduits called The Mirror Maze. It was said that one could walk from one side of the galaxy to the other in less than a hundred steps. It was a marvel of technology, art and peace. Until The Macros came, and in a blink of an eye it was destroyed. The Macros are beings of pure motivated Trinary code. They broke out of The Mirror Maze nearly instantaneously across the Consortia, inhabiting and taking control of the technologies from the most advanced worlds to the least. With no defenses capable of stopping them, they spread throughout the galaxy, destroying interstellar culture after culture. Far from the center of galactic civilization, The Palmyr Century was isolated enough to get advanced word of The Macro invasion. The Palmyr was able to close it’s Mirror Maze gateways to the rest of the Consortia and walled off i’s populated worlds from the threat of The Macros. For more than two hundred and fifty years this protection stood, until it was breached by Althea Ram. Althea Ram, born on the planet Emerald in Palmyr Century was Trinary coding prodigy. This skill lead her to be recruited by a group, the ZAT, an organization engaged in illegal research into Macro code. When found out, the ZAT was eliminated on orders of The First Centurion.

Shirae made a deal with Althea for her own reasons and provided her with a Mirror Port which would allow her to reach the Lost Worlds outside The Palmyr.

And inside the Undeniable Labyrinth is where the journey begins.

What is the meaning of life? Is life fun? Is it worth living? These questions are all highly dependent on a person's state of mind, experiences, and environment. However, even individuals who respond negatively to said questions have trouble escaping the life that doesn't seem worth living to them. Most are kept alive by irrational emotions. Fear of the unknown, of pain, or causing pain keeps them struggling day after day, unable to find permanent solutions nor the courage to escape the clutches of life. This story is about one such individual struggling in a new world with infinite possibilities. Will he be drowned by life once more or rise and find meaning in a new, unforgiving world? On Hiatus. I'm sorry.
8 173In a Civilized Manner
A self-proclaimed seeker of peace and his trusty "system" venture on a journey to flip the world on its back—in a civilized manner, of course. Edris has always aimed for a peaceful, carefree life, but the world around him? Not so much. It started with encountering the amnesic, system-like entity in his head. From there, only absurdities followed. Aristocratic conspiracies, mismatched identities, intercontinental wars... Hold on—did he just get called a prophet? In any case, as the world descends into chaos, Edris's carefree life may be just a bit further away than expected. UPDATES TUES-THUR-SAT NOTE: This is a progression fantasy with LITRPG/GameLit elements planned for later arcs. Once the story reaches that point, I'll then add the tags.
