Chapter 23 - Gain the PRIVILEDGE

" STOPPP...", Jason cried at the entrance, seeing his friends fight, with cutleries.

Ailee stopped her stupid behaviour, as soon as she heard Jason's voice; but Jimmy kept on laughed at Ailee, which turned into a non-stop snicker.

He just laughed continuously even without his control. Jason wondered what that was about but at first he made an attempt to stop his cachinnation and so he just diverted the topic saying," I'm hungry".

The word stirred up the sentimental feeling of the passionate cook. Soon after those words reached his ears, he automatically shut his mouth.

" Come on, Jason! We've arranged a snack party at the balcony. Let's have them before they cool down", saying Jimmy held the hands of Jason, took him over to the balcony and made him sit down with compassion.

After, Jason joined them, they enjoyed together the snack party. Three of them laughed together and found pleasure in the treat, held by Jimmy.

" What was it guys? What did you do to make her act like a monster?", Jason asked Jimmy, while they were dining.

" Its nothing! We've a deal inbetween us, that's it", Ailee intrupted inbetween and replied to him instead; she stared at Jimmy and rolled her eyes signalling him not to tell anything.

" There's a lot of things happening excluding me. So, you guys have secrets to maintain without letting me know", asked Jason in a strange tone.

" Its not any secret, just a deal. Actually, Ailee asked me...ahhh", while Jimmy tried to clear out the misunderstanding he cried out in pain as Ailee stepped on his foot stopping him from telling him.

" Fine, Jimmy. Don't let yourself hurt! I don't care about your deal or secret. Let's just play! I just want some relaxation", Jason said to jimmy glaring angrily at Ailee.

He got up indignantly and went straight to Jimmy's room." Where are you going? Give us a hand!", Jimmy asked him, as Ailee will not be of any help in cleaning, as she was angry with him too.

" Ah! My bad day. Finally, everything's on my head and I'd to do everything by myself", saying Jimmy scowled at Ailee who stood near him.

He fought with her saying it was all her fault. "What was there to hide from Jason? Why did you stop me?", he quarelled with her.

" Jason's not like you. He's more than you. If he finds out that I'd asked you to help me learn cooking, he'll mock me each and everyday. He won't care even if my friends hear it; he'll give me a nick name and tease me to death. That's why I hid from him. I'll take care of it. You just glue your mouth", Ailee said to him.

" I have to reconsider my thoughts on teaching an irrespectful girl. My reputation would be ruined if I waste my time on you", said Jimmy sitting comfortably on the chair, keeping his hands on his backhead showing his formidable hauteur.

Ailee regretted her words and so she begged him for mercy until he got up and reached his room.

Three of them got ready, to enter the world of Connector. They wore their hand glow, wireless haloMic and finally wore the AR Halo lens.

As soon as, they entered the connector it displayed various options in front displaying Countries, Games, Business, Recreation, Learning and so on, for them to choose inorder to proceed.

They both accepted Jason's decision to play games, so as to please him.

Three of them unlocked a new level and entered the medium level.

[ Level Upgraded] [ You can now choose to play the type of game; Before you continue, please confirm your age]

Audio of a female bot echoed the whole room. Inorder to make the game more realistic and fun, Jimmy connected the Audio support to Halo Speaker.

" Wow! Its great to enter here. Even a lot of High School students hadn't entered this level yet. It feels like my heart would pump and jump out", screamed Ailee.

" Don't forget that you've a mic close to your mouth. Reduce your volume, my ears are bleeding", Jimmy yelled at her.

" Its because they use Connector only to play games. Unlocking levels comprises of all other activities in the world too. You need to answer 6+ brainiac question everytime you choose to enter a place in real world. And you guys should have alreeady known what I say, the missions we'd finished so far, as individual connecters", explained Jason.

" I can't believe that I've entered this amazing level. My hands are just cold as snow", Ailee screamed again.

" What's with her? The mic is connected dually, so reduce your tone. Our cochlea might have damaged for now. You'll be responsible if we have any hearing probs", Jimmy said to her in a rough tone.

" Guys! Stop it. Let's just enter our age and move ahead", Jason interupted to make them shut up and continue.

After they drew their age in the air, the voice spoke again...

[ Age: Fourteen] [ Connecters: 3]

[ You're entering the SURVIVAL COMRADE]

[ Complete three stages and Gain your PRIVILEDGES]

(Note: Inside connector, every player is referred as connecters)

They all jumped up and down for entering the most thrilling level in the Connector.

A thrilling sound displayed at the background and they heard a sound of someone opening a shutter.

[ Welcome to Stage One]

They saw a visual of list of games, but everything looked pale.

" Why these games are not enabled? I think we can only play the first block, 'cause of age limitations. I'll just select the enabled one", saying Jimmy pressed the first block.

A certain game on the list from the first block, attracted their eyes and so they clicked the game.

[ Sorry, unable to connect, need more Connecters]

The female voice gave a alert message asking them to join Stage one with more Players.

As soons as the bot delivered the message, Ailee screamed loud in frustation.

The message came as a blow to three of them and they all sat down with disappointment.
