Chapter 8 - the reunion

Sasha: "It's been three weeks since the incident—since everyone found out that I have the key. Me, Lizzy, and Riri are planning to head to the tree to unlock it. It's a dangerous mission, but we think we can do it."

Lizzy: "Are you narrating yourself again?"

Sasha: "What? No! Of course not."

Lizzy: "Yeah, yeah, sure."

Riri looks at Lizzy, then back at Sasha, trying to signal something to Lizzy. Sasha notices this.

Sasha: "Hey, when I logged off, what did you guys get up to?"

Lizzy and Riri start blushing.

Lizzy: "No, we just, umm..."

Riri: "We went, umm, to try to find that boy you were hanging out with."

Sasha: "Oh, him. I hope he's okay."

Lizzy: "He's probably dead."

Sasha: "Don't say that."

Riri: "I don't know, I saw him run away into the woods."

Sasha: "See? He's probably not dead."

Lizzy: "Maybe, maybe not. Who cares?"

Ambush and Interruption

Meanwhile, Tyler and Chase are hunting in the woods.

Tyler: "Just go, come on."

Chase: "Okay, okay."

Chase jumps off the roof of the cabin and stabs his sword into the monster, killing it.

Chase: "That was..."

Tyler: "Exciting."

Chase: "Yeah. Thanks for letting me hang out here."

Tyler: "Of course. Since everyone's on the hunt for Sasha and her friends, you should be able to go out soon."

Chase: "Yeah, maybe."

Tyler: "Wait, do you miss her?"

Chase looks up at the sky and says, "Well, I didn't really know her, but from the time I spent with her, I could tell she was a nice person. Not just nice—amazing."

Tyler: "Okay, loverboy, come on."

Chase: "It's not like th—"

As Chase is talking, a giant mist of air hits them.

Tyler: "Get down!"

Tyler and Chase get down on the floor while three people start breaking into Tyler's cabin.

Tyler: "Sh*t, they're breaking into my cabin!"

Chase: "They can't break in unless they have a Pick Lock Spell, right?"

Tyler: "You learn fast. Now, come on!"

Tyler and Chase jump at the people with their swords. Right before they attack them, Chase realizes something.

Chase: "Holy sh*t! Sasha!"

Sasha: "Holy sh*t! Chase!"

Sasha and Chase hug each other, and they both realize that maybe they missed each other more than they thought.

Tyler: "Wait, this is the girl with the key?"

Lizzy and Riri get in front of Chase and Sasha and look at Tyler.

Lizzy and Riri: "Yeah? So what if she has the key? What are you going to do about it?"

Tyler: "No, no, it's not like that."

Chase: "No, guys, he's cool! He's let me stay at his place."

Sasha, Lizzy, and Riri all look at Tyler and think, Wait, he...

Tyler: "Oh my God, again? Ugh. Hi, I'm Tyler, and I'm transgender, female to male."

Lizzy: "Oh my God, that's so cool!"

Riri: "Holy, I did not know there was anyone transgender playing this game! That's so cool."

Sasha looks at Tyler and whispers to him, "Thanks for letting Chase stay here."

Tyler: "You're welcome. And just so you know, he missed you a lot."

Chase: "Okay, okay, you can stop talking now."
