dad keeps all of the extra boxes of cigs for me and keeps the chewing tobacco for himself.” Mae explained before looking at the screen. “That doesn’t really answer my question.” Russel said before Mae looked at him.

“Because he doesn't want to have to deal with a lawsuit.” Mae said as all three of them stayed quiet. “Well, this is awkward. Can I play some heavy metal?” Leon asked before Russel took a peek outside. “Can’t yet. Anna and Trevor are still here.” Russel said before Leon sighed, lowering his head. “I wish we can all enter the game.” Leon said before he raised his head as they all started to play. “That would be a dream come true.” Mae said before they all chuckled. “You two getting along would be my dream come true.” Leon said as he put his arm around both Russell and Mae. “Keep dreaming.” Mae said before they all started to laugh. “I knew you were gonna say that.” Leon said as they kept playing. “Ugh, he is with that smoking whore. No doubt she convinced him not to come.” Anna said as she paced back and forth in front of Trevor. “He didn’t like going to church anyway. Don’t bother him if he says no.” Trevor said as he placed a cigarette in his mouth and lit it. Anna quickly took the cigarette and put it in Trevor’s soda.

“I’m tired.” Russel said as Leon and Mae rubbed their eyes. “You guys want to take a quick nap?” Leon asked and then they both got up. “Where are we all gonna nap though?” Russell asked as they looked at Leon’s bed. “Fine. We can do that.” Mae said as they all laid on the bed after Leon pushed his bed to his tv. “Yay!” Leon said before Mae and Russell looked at him. “At least it’s progress.” Leon said as Mae and Russell shook their heads. “Yeah. Yeah I know.” Leon said before he sat in the middle of both of them. “Well, hopefully we can find a way to hang out in a new world.” Russell said before they all laid back. They all closed their eyes and slept for a half an hour. Mae woke up but noticed that she was in the game but not as her male character, but as herself in the games designed clothes. “What the hell is going on?” Leon asked as he appeared next to Mae. “I think your wish just came true.” Mae said as Russell went to them excited.

“What are you excited for, melon head?” Mae asked as Leon and Mae watched Russell freak out. “We are in a video game! Aren’t you guys excited?” Russel asked before Leon and Mae looked at each other. “A little.” Leon said as Russell smiled at the both of them before running to a castle with the both of them quietly following. “I wish I could have a smoke.” Mae said before a box appeared before the both of them. 

“Hey! A box of smokes. Cool.” Leon said as they both grabbed the boxes. “Heh. You’re just like a little angel.” Mae said as they walked to the castle. “Don’t call me an angel yet.” Leon said before a NPC maid went to Leon and Mae. “Master Leon and Mistress Mae. Welcome to your home. There’s a Mister Russel trying to get in. Shall I get rid of him?” She asked as Leon looked around. “No. No. He’s with us.” Leon said before the maid turned and left letting the three of them inside. “Just what is her problem?” Russell asked as they walked in. “This place is amazing.” Mae said as she walked around and looked at all the details. “Well, this game is a game where you try to have adventures. Meaning that you break into the castle.” Leon said as they walked around. “Ohh right. Well, what do we do?” Russel asked before Leon shrugged and Mae walked to the bedrooms. “Mistress, what are you doing?” The maid asked as she stood in the doorway. “Oh, I was trying to figure out what to do.” Mae asked before she was transported back to Leon and Russel.

“Ok, then.” Mae said before Leon and Russel looked at her. “Oh there you are. Where were you?” Leon said before Mae looked down the corridor. “I went to explore and then the maid caught me and then I ended up here.” Mae explained before Leon nodded. “We have to get you two ready.” A butler said as Leon and Mae looked at each other confused. Mae and Leon didn’t know what they needed to get ready for but they also didn’t know if they were allowed to ask. “You ask him.” Leon said while nudging Mae. “No, you ask him.” Mae said, nudging Leon before Russell rolled his eyes. “Get ready for what, Sir?” Leon asked scaredly as the butler looked at him. “Why your and Mistress Mae’s wedding, of course.” The butler said before Leon and Mae looked at him shocked.

“We can’t get married!” Mae yelled before Leon looked at her broken hearted. “What?” Leon asked before Mae looked at him. “We’re kids, Leon.” Mae said as Russel watched Leon go outside. “We might be kids but at least we try to enjoy our time.” Russel said, getting close to Mae’s face. “Get out of my face, nerd!” Mae said before she punched Russel in the face and then went into the garden. “God, getting married is not a way for kids to enjoy their lives.” Mae said as she walked around angry. “You’re right and a delicate flower such as yourself doesn't need a boy like him.” A mysterious man said as he stayed in the shadows and watched the moon. Mae looked around in surprise as she didn’t recognize the voice of the man. “Who’s there?” She asked as he looked at her even though Mae couldn’t find him. “Only the man of your dreams.” The man said as he appeared in front of her holding her favorite flowers. “Mae? Mae!” Leon yelled, making the man look up and groan quietly.

“Next time, my dear.” The man said before he ran away as Leon ran to Mae. “What?” Mae asked quietly as Leon got close. “What baby?” Leon asked as he placed his hand on her shoulder. Mae turned around and looked at him angrily as Leon backed up. “What the fuck is wrong with you?” Mae said before Leon, Mae and Russel started to scream at each other. The man smiled as he stood behind a tree and then left so he didn’t get caught.

Chapter 5

Russell shook his head and stood in between them. “Shut up you two!” Russell yelled before Leon and Mae got quiet. “Since you two don’t want to enjoy this, let’s try to get out of here.” He said before Leon looked down and Mae looked into the distance. “Actually I am starting to enjoy this place.” Mae said before Leon and Russel looked at her. “Seriously?” Russell asked before Mae nodded. Russell smiled before he shook his head.”Hopefully we can find something to eat.” Leon said before they walked into the castle.

“Yeah. I am hungry.” Mae said as a butler walked to them. “Dinner time, Master and Mistress. And guest. Choose your meal.” The butler said before a menu popped up. It showed various food choices and they all smiled. “Are we ready to order?” Leon asked before Russell and Mae nodded. “Mae, my love. You go first.” Leon said as he stepped to the side before Mae stepped and ordered her food. “Good choice, Ma’am. You can go to the dining room.” The butler said as her lady in waiting went to her. “This way ma’am.” She said before her and Mae walked to the kitchen. “Now, the guest may choose before the master.” The butler said as Russell smiled and stood in front of the butler. Leon groaned as held his growling stomach. “I'm hurrying, I’m hurrying.” Russell said as he locked in his order. “Thank you, guest. Here is a map. Go to the dining room.” The butler said before opening his palm where a floating paper appeared. 

Russell quickly grabbed the paper as his eyes lit up. “Cool!” Russell exclaimed as he opened the map and headed to the dining room. Leon shook his head and ordered his meal as the mysterious man watched him. “Ok, Master. That is all I have for you tonight.” The butler said before he walked away. Leon started to head to the dining room before the hallway he was in had gotten dark. “Who is there?” Leon asked as he heard footsteps behind him. The mystery man started to evil laugh before he left as the lights turned back on. “What a weird castle.” Leon said before walking into the dining room. “Holy crap! Look at all this food!” Russell yelled as they looked at a long table full of food. “Don’t go full piggy on us.” Mae said before Russell looked at her before she started to chuckle. “Haha, You guys are lucky to have active parents.” Leon said as he looked down at his pants. “We’re kids, remember?” Mae said as Russell looked at the both of them. 

“Yeah, in the real world.” Leon said as Russell went and sat down quietly. “Well, even if it is in real life. Let’s not grow up too fast.” Mae said before Leon looked at her shocked. “Where the fuck did this come from? We smoked like last night!” Leon asked as Mae looked away. Mae didn’t want to hurt Leon but she didn’t want to stay there in the game world. “I want to go home!” Mae yelled as Russell looked down. “Oh shit.” Leon said as Russell ran past crying. “Look what you didn.” Leon said to Mae as he left the dining room. Mae left grumbling angrily as she paced around. “Hey, are you ok?” Mae asked as the lights turned off and the mysterious man sneaked in and locked the door. “Yes, My love. Now I feel much better.” He said as he got closer to her and grabbed her hand.

“You’re not Russell.” Mae said as she took her hand and stepped back. The man chuckled and looked at her. “You are right. I am better than them.” He said as he grabbed her hand again and then kissed her hand, making her blush. “You never told me your name.” Mae
