Danetta tied up her shoulder length curly black hair into a quick ponytail before putting on her headphones. With a smile she plugged her headphones to her computer and played some music while checking her out-of-school drive. She let her fingers type down words as another short story came to life and in the middle of her concentration her phone lit up showing a text.

Her brown eyes lit up at the name of the boy, well, username rather.

Oneofakindbelike.

To her the boy had many names; Drake, One, King Crazy, Lord of Darkith (Thanks to their friend Blue) and others. Just like he had many names for her; Dani, Commander Mad and his Right-Hand Woman, Gold, Grandmother (a long story) and others.

She checked the time on her phone, it was eleven in the morning and it was a Saturday. She frowned, he should be asleep by now. Their time zones were ten hours apart meaning that it was nine at night where he lived. Swiping her phone and unlocking it with her fingerprint she read the text.

'Howz life?'

She couldn't help but let out a chuckle at the boy's persistent to not use the 's' at times.

'Good, you?'

'Ok. Are you American?'

At this she laughed out loud. It was the seventh time he asked her the same question and it would be the seventh time she would answer. Do I act American? Is it because I know more English than Spanish?

'No, I'm not from North America nor from Europe. But I do know English better than my native language'

'Oh, I thought you were American XD. What's your native language then?'

'Spanish, Drake, it's Spanish. I have told you various times XD'

'Are you from... MEXICO?!'

Danetta laughed once more, her short story forgotten and the music as well. She positioned herself on her leather chair carefully this way she would be looking at her door but not make it obvious. If needed she would be able to change the app and go to another incase her parents came in, they wouldn't be pleased if they learned she talked to people on the internet like friends. If they learned such information she would be forced to delete her account on Wattpad and be watched on whatever she did online.

'I'm not from Mexico, don't assume that every Spanish speaking person is from there XD'

'Oops XD, I'm sorry Grandmother'

Danetta smiled at the memory of how that nickname came to be, who would have thought she could speak like a seventy-year-old woman. Minutes passed as the two friends talked, her parents would occasionally enter and ask who she was talking to. She responded truthfully saying it was a friend that lived far away, it wasn't a lie but not the full truth either. Her mother gave a knowing look thinking it was a boy from the previous country they had lived in, Danette rolled her eyes when her mother's back faced her.

Stop thinking that boy has a crush on me, honestly, we are just friends. She held back a laugh at the text Drake send her. Her mom gave her another knowing look which was ignored by the daughter, once again the room was empty except for Danetta.

'Howz your book coming along?'

Danetta frowned and look at her drive, with a sigh she responded.

'I'm thinking about unpublishing it. I don't have any ideas for it'

'Then what are you going to do? Are you going to stop writing?'

'No, I'm just going to write short stories and post them. Hopefully I'll be able to finish the novel one day'

'What are you going to write about?'

'I don't know'

'Write a novel. ABOUT ME!'

Danetta laughed and responded with a playful grin.

'That'll be short. A page long'

'WHAT? Write how annoying I am! That should do fine!'

'You aren't really annoying...'

'I try to pleasantly annoy...'

'You aren't annoying Drake'

'All my hard work to be annoying... failed'

The girl could just imagine Drake fake fainting as he wrote that.

'XD, you are just funny'

'That'll do! Whatz the time there?'

'12 am'

'Darn, we are far apart! It is 10 pm here'

Danetta stayed quiet, for her it was Saturday morning for him it would be Saturday night. Her eyes widened and was about to command him to sleep and then she read his next message.

'We should build a bridge'

She blinked.

'Then we can cross meet all the time. On a bridge. On an ocean. Which will never happen'

She broke into a smile at the thought. The only thing she could imagine was walking on a stone bridge as she crossed the Pacific ocean to meet him. He would be on the other side and most likely they would do the questions and test for another to make sure it wasn't a stranger.

'That would be awesome! And go to bed! You have a long day tomorrow! Listen to your Grandmother XD'

'Ok, Grandmother! Fare thee well, Queen of Dragons!'

'Fare thee well, King Crazy'

And with that she turned off her phone and put it to charge. The rest of the day went by fast for the teenage girl. She played with her dog, ate, drank, typed, watched and talked the normal routine of her everyday life. The normal routine that kept her unaware of the appearing and shimmering stones that attached themselves to the outside of her window, stones that build themselves into a bridge. A week passed by and it was Friday. Danetta entered her room after a long day of school, a hang out with her classmates and as she closed her door she dropped her bag at the sight of what was outside.

It was a stone bridge that extended farther then what her eyes could see, slowly she went towards her window and opened it. Once her head was outside a sign shimmered to life, once it was solid Danetta read what it said. Her eyes widened and she rushed to her closet and turned to the right to enter her bathroom. Washing her face with cold water Danetta slowly poked her head from the door frame and sure enough the bridge stood in front of her.

"I'm not dreaming, that's for sure." She muttered and made up her mind to go and explore what was on the other side. "I should change, I'm not going to ruin my school clothes for this." Putting on a pair of black jeans, a long sleeve white and black striped shirt. Hesitating she decided to put on her sleeves jean jacket that had the worlds 'Why the hell not?' on the back. The reason she put it on? Read the back. She slipped on a pair of running shoes and left her closet. "Where did I leave my glasses?" She found her blue glasses on her bedside and put them on before grabbing her phone and climbing out the window. Her phone lit up and she became spammed by a certain Wattpader, frowning she opened them and what she read made her gasp in shock.

'Dani!'

'Dani! You won't believe this!'

'A bridge made of stone stands outside my window!!'

Her response was slow as she used once hand to close the window behind her.

'I have a bridge outside my window! I'm going to cross it!'

'WHAT?! The I'm crossing mine!'

'Lets see if they are connected, shall we, King Crazy?'

'We shall!'

With a smile Danetta started to walk the bridge as I watch above her. I couldn't help but chuckle, it was a simple conversation Drake and I had and one that let me to this. With a grin I look at my phone and smile at the poem Drake gave about the story, deciding it would be fun and make the time go faster I let Danetta and story Drake to hear it.

Can it be you and I
On a sunny day

Danetta froze as a voice resiated the words, she looked down at her phone as Drake asks if she could hear the words as well. She gave a quick affirmation and continued on walking. The poem continued.

Crossing the bridge to see your face
Cuz all I have in this world
Is a girl who runs, fades away

The words became louder and Danetta identified as the voice to be a female, what she found strange was that it was her voice saying the words. Her phone once again lit up as Drake said it was his voice that was saying the words. She frowned and responded that she heard her voice.

Can it be you and I
Seeing seas as life goes by
Whistling by, we can meet

The words seemed to echo as another voice joined in, this one, Danetta realized, was male. She send her realization to Drake who affirmed he now heard a female as well.

A powerful streak in the sky
Is you and I, flying high

Danetta froze as she saw another figure walk towards her, from her view it was impossible if it was male or female. Deciding that she couldn't turn back now she continued on. She froze as she read Drake's messages, he saw a figure too. Not wanting to risk her suspicion she responded saying that she saw one too.

I built this bridge to see your smile
That way we met from miles apart

The figure came closer and Danetta could tell it was male and not female. Her heart beat faster wondering if this was a mistake, she was above the ocean and in the middle of nowhere, if she fell her body would never be found. Hesitating she walked forward.

Because land and sea, they played their part
And this bridge shall bring you close.

I smiled down as story Drake met story me, Danetta, Grandmother, GoldenInkDrop, Gold, Queen of Dragons, Commander Mad and Dani. They are all my names but none are the real one. Deciding the beginning of the story is done I shimmered out of the sky and let them continue and end the story themselves. I lay down on my bed and turn to my window, no stone bridge, just a setting sun that was slightly being blocked by the clouds. Smiling I open Wattpad and publish this story, giving credit where it is needed.

Should I?

My brown eyes land on my story 'More Than Thieves', with no hesitation I tap the unpublish bottom and turn off my phone.

-------

After conversing with  about random subjects we ended up talking about building a bridge so we could meet. This gave me the idea to write this story and break the fourth wall a tiny bit. I do hope that you enjoyed this short story and expect more coming soon!

-Dani

P.S. This is a fun fact about my real name! It means 'God is my judge' which is why I chose the name Danetta because it has the same meaning in another language!
