Chapter 1
The sounds from arcade machines were deafening as each beep formed together into an attack that sounded much faster than each shot of an automatic machine gun. Norika’s hands sped lightning fast from button, to joystick, to button. She had the ability to conquer and she didn’t mind to flaunt it. The boy beside her grinned as he was the same way. He taunted her repeatedly as she taunted back while a crowd of people stared cheering each one on, awestruck at their performance.
Suddenly the game stopped and so did the crowd. The screen went blank, calculating the enormous amount of points accumulated by both. The two had their hands grasped tightly on their joysticks, waiting for the results to show up. Both of their breaths were extremely if not completely labored.
The screen took ten more seconds. Their eyes widened in suspense. These were bragging rights; full on bragging rights. Perhaps even a cute plushie to go with it as well. But besides the plushie — as if this annoying, repetitive narrator didn’t say it enough — bragging rights.
The screen blinked a 3, the two’s hearts raced; the screen blinked a 2, their faces neared the screen; till finally the screen blinked 1 and the monotone voice announced the results. Or so they thought.
“The. Winner. Is….”
The two winced.
“……………………….”
“Damn it! SAY IT ALREADY!” They said in unison.
The machine took a 5 more second pause. “I. Am. Building. Up. Dramatic. Tension. Bwahah…. Ow.”
“Good one, Kaoru,” A random voice shouted.
Kaoru had hit the screen, which apparently the machine got often (yes, we all seem to wonder why as well); it decided to announce the actual results. Unfortunately, the person currently narrating this story decided to input some dramatic tension as well by deciding to sleep in the comfort of her bed, ignoring the rest of this story full on. The characters screamed, “What!?” as she slept soundly.
