Third Person POV

"It's cold..." She said behind you. "Well have you heard of this great mountaineering item called PANTS? It's amazing what Science can do these days." You said. You opened my menu and gave her my fur coat. "Here, it's not pants but it should do the trick," you said. Lizbeth put your fur coat on, 'I can't believe I'm out here alone with this guy.' She thought, 'This is getting weird.' You notice Lizbeth still standing there, "What's wrong Liz? Giving up already?" You asked. "No! And if you gonna be a jerk about it, then just call me Liz." She said. "Ok, ok, sheesh, Liz." You said. "Don't wear it out." She said. "It's beautiful." She said, staring at all the crystals. You pulled the fur coat you lent her, "I am sorry! But am I the only one in this damn that knows how AGGRO works?" You asked. "Remember? This is a boss room! Don't be reckless." You said. "I know, I know." She said, pulling out her teleport crystal. "Good, now go hide over dere while I handle this part." You said.

Y/N POV

"Don't come out no matter what," I said. "Oh, come on!" She said, "I'm no newbie either you know! So I'll help you-" I cut her off, "Just do it Dammit!" She seemed shocked but soon nodded, "Good, now let's get going." I said as I pat her head and walked ahead. We both heard a roar, from what it looks like, it came from da dragon. "Hide yourself now!" I said, before pulling out my sword. The dragon looked like a monster card from Yu-Gi-Oh. "Should I use a sword or a dual disk with a deck?" I asked. I think I angered the dragon because it began to use a breath attack on me. "Watch out! It's a breathe attack!" I heard Liz say. I deflected it with ease, I ran at it while charging up my sword skill. 'Wow, with that skinny sword and gear, who is this guy?' I swung my sword and got decent damage on it from different angles. The dragon then charged at me, but I dodged it and charged up a sword skill, to cut his arm off. "Come on, finish him off already!" She yelled. "Aww come on!" Liz got out of her spot, "What?" The dragon noticed and swung his wings, causing her to fly away. I ran after her and caught her as we both fell in the hole. "Dammit, you had one job, Liz!"

"You still alive?" I asked. She got up and I got up. "Here, drink this." I gave her a healing potion. I drank my potion and got up. "Now, how do we get out of here?" I asked myself. "Can't we just teleport out?" Lizbeth grabbed her teleport crystal, "Teleport Lindas!" She yelled. "Welp, guess there is only one way out," I said as I backed up to try to get a headstart. "What are you planning?" She asked. "Just trying something." I ran up the wall trying to get to the top. 'He's making good process, I think he'll actually make it.' Liz thought. I was somewhat close until I slipped and fell all the way back to the bottom. "God...fucking dammit..." I grunted. "A for...effort?"

"Well, guess we are sleeping here then." I grabbed two sleeping bags and gave one to Liz. She got in hers as I put up a fire and went in mine. "This is kinda weird isn't? You know, going to strange places, meeting a total stranger and sleeping next to them." She said. "I guess," I replied. "I mean, you actually ran up the wall, and almost to the top too." She said. "Still mad about that," I said, still staring at da stars. "You really are a weirdo you know that?" She said. "Oi, don't' rub it in," I said, rolling my eyes. "P/N, can I ask you something?" She asked. "You already did," I said. "Can I ask you two questions?" She asked. "You already did," I replied. She then smirked, "Can I ask you four questions?" I looked at her. "You already did." She day up from her sleeping bag. "Since when?!" She's gonna be mad after this. "Now." *Earrape of Lucid Dreams by Juice WRLD plays* "P/N!" She complained. "I'm just kidding, go ahead," I said. "Why did you risk your life like that to save me?" She asked. I looked at her, "Well I guess I'm not that kind of person, to let you just die like that, I'd rather die with them than just do nothing. Just like girls like you Liz," I said with a smirk. "Wow, you really are an idiot." She said. "I can't tell you how many times I have been called that," I said as I rolled my eyes again. "Hey hold my hand, " I was surprised when she said this, but I held her hand. "It's so warm," She said. "Even though we are just 1's and 0's, in a virtual world." She said. "I know, I guess that the joy of VR games."
