12 The brand new launch

"Wake up! It's time to get ready", Clara's mom shouted from the kitchen, preparing breakfast.

" Ahh... I didn't have enough sleep. I just closed my eyes now. Why it's already morning?", irritated Clara rolled on her bed. She tried to sleep again until the second call.

" Can't you hear me? You're sixteen, but you still act like five. If you don't get up, we'll swap our positions. Let me go to your school and you do my work", Clara's mom started her nag on the very morning, to irritate her.

" It's frustrating to hear your nag more than waking up early. Please stop! I"ll get up", Clara murmured to herself and went straight to the bathroom to freshen up.

" Mom! What's for the breakfast?", asking her mom, Clara went to the dining table and opened the lids of the containers. " Wow! It's momos, sandwich, fruit & cheese sticks. Love You mom. Thank you!", Clara munched all the three and finished everything in no time.

That's a new day to everyone at ARI, as they all got back to their ordinary life once again. Children, teenagers and youngsters attended their required academies. The adults got back to their normal professions.

The delivery workers had sophisticated job to sell it through Light- Cargo drones. Professors, Teachers and Coaches got to work in a new environment. Vendors began to set up their shops in the All In One Market. The market was huge to sell everyday goods and it can employ in it half of ARI.

The streets were busy with the people, going to their destined places. Clara and Emily went to their school. While on their way to school , they met Mark and Chris Maddox to their opposite.

" Hi! Clara and Emily. We were waiting for you two", shouting at them, Mark ran towards them both while Chris walked slowly.

" Hello Mark! What's the matter?", Clara asked him and they four formed a group.

" Here's our invitation . Please do visit the Brand New Launch of our Augmented Reality world, THE CONNECTOR. It starts 5 pm today, at our Head Quarter. Please do come and support us", Chris handed over them the invitation and left right away as he worked part-time at the O'BRIEN.

" OMG! He's a busy guy. He studies and works at the same time", Emily exclaimed at him, for his hard work.

"Yeah! He's a intelligent fellow. The O'BRIEN came forward and offered him to work full time, after seeing his school level projects. After he finished school, he joined there and worked part-time and now he's pursuing his higher studies. I work too. Don't you appreciate me?", saying, Mark glared at Emily for her reply.

" Yeah! I do. We're leaving, it's late", Emily grabbed Clara's hand and left the spot immediately, as she had no idea how to react to his question. Emily felt somewhat awkward at his sudden words.

Everyone went on time to school and it was time to close the gate. The one's who attended the academy had top fun there. They had massive classrooms, with AR facility. And they got introduced to lot of new friends and met fun row mates.

Their first class was to interact with 20 new friends within their classroom and to give a report of 60 random people they met within the campus, as social skill was the most important for one's development.

The HQ was busy, with staffs rustling here and there, arranging necessities before the Launch. This was a High-Level Game that has huge impact in real life. So, the General Head of all affairs took in-charge of the occasion. People came in large numbers to support the youngsters. Mark and Chris had some time, before the launch. So they sat outside the Head Quarters, to relax themselves.

It was at that time, Clara and Emily visited the HQ , after their school hours. They too joined Mark and Chris and began chatting. They had fun talks, about the funny incident they'd gone through.

"What are you going to do now? What about the Miss Atlise competition...?", Chris posed a question to Emily.

" I've no idea about it, 'cause they stopped it temporarily. But, I do have other plans. I got a new friend called "Nizora" from the Super land. I'm gonna be learning some techniques from her and start a marketing business with her", Emily explained her future plans.

" How could she be your marketing partner? What are going to do with the techniques?", Clara asked her in a confused tone.

" Her country accepted to popularize their power techniques, with the help of their young citizens. This doesn't mean I could get their power. They're selling lot of gadgets that makes people feel that they've got super power. I"ll join with Nizora and be marketing the gadgets as well as teaching people proper guidelines to use it."

" That's a great idea. How long are you going to do it? What about your project?", Mark asked her.

" Don't worry. I'm not gonna do it longer. This is a token of friendship, as she asked me help. I'm still working on with my project", Emily said with a sweet chuckle.

Clara and Emily noticed that both (Mark & Chris) looked nervous. They boosted them up, with their comforting words and helped them chill.

" Welcome Ladies and Gentleman to the Grand occasion of the Brand new launch. I feel utmost happy to see you all come here colourful. Please give your support and unconditional love throughout the day for our Rising stars of today. With that let's welcome the MVIP's of today, with a big round of applause for Chris ....Maddox and ... Mark...", the MC welcomed everyone and called on Chris and Mark on the stage.

Chris and mark got up the stage in a humble way. They both conversed with the people in a attractive way with some funny comments. They explained the key features of the game,

" Hi my dear people! It's lovely to see you all from here. Thank you so much for coming here and helping us prove our hard work. THE CONNECTOR is an Augment Reality program that helps you connect with the people of the Octa countries. As we all know, not anyone can access or travel through the Emerald portal. Only people in high position and the ones who are granted permission can go through it."

" It's because of this, we haven't been able to connect nor bring on a lovely relationship, with the people of Octa countries . So, we developed the program to give you all a chance to live with them like how we live together here. You can go to any places in the Octa countries, can buy a house there, you can work, live, have friends and play there. It's actually not a full version game but it's another world for you. Now, Mark and I will go through the Connector and show you how it looks", saying, Chris and Mark wore the gadgets and got into the program.

People felt astonished to see the real world through the connector. They both had their avatars ready that looked exactly like them but looked more handsome. People loved the way both explained and played among themselves. In order to prove more, they visited the Dark warrior land and spoke with a friend there. This made everyone understand more about it and they loved to use it. Chris and Mark attracted the crowd and everyone fell in love with the youngsters attitude through out the launch.

Lot's of people registered their names to buy it and some enjoyed the free trial. The chief guests ( the leaders of octa countries), approved the project. They asked the boys to do the launch in their countries too. They'd successfully launched their game and it became a memorable moment for them.

Clara and Emily rushed to them and expressed their heartful Congrats. They both teased them for acting too smart on the stage.

Soon, they four left home together. The day became the most happiest day for both Chris and Mark, the day which can't be erased from their memory, even after hundreds or thousands of years.
