Chapter 4
(you are in an old room, in the background there's an old tv making those old VHS noises)
Narrator: *opens his arms excitedly* Yo! Welcome back my ppl!
*puts one at his chin and other as a support and thinks while looking around* You know. I was thinking recently of turning back time.
*opens his arms* I kinda thought that if *puts them on his chest* I...
*looks elsewhere closing his eyes a bit* Wait...
*opena his eyes wide in realization* Oooh okay. *leans back putting hand on ching again and corrects his sitting position* No nevermind.
Spoilers. *rolls his eyes and looks elsewhere* I kinda forgor how you don't really know everything and I! *tilts his head opening his eyes wide* Am supposed to tell you everything. *sits straight and takes a VHS tape* So just sit back, take some popcorn *shrug* or whatever you like to eat while *tilts his head* watching, *and other way* or reading, *and other way* or listening, *and looks at YOU yes YOU* or feeling.
*shakes his head and shrugs belly laughing* I dunno how many ways there are to enjoy stuff.
But.
Yeah.
*points at you with open palm* Enjoy! *and puts it inthe tv, the room fills with slowly fading but blinding light*
Air hockey
*you're in a beautiful place, with beautiful green trees around, you can see ??? sitting on a tree trunk before a shining azure lake*
???: What a magnificent place it is...
I still remember coming here with you...
My love... *it looks down on the grass*
This grass... so shining... and alive... so beautiful...
She loved it here... just as I did...
...
But they...
I gave them all they needed... and yet... those monsters... wanted more... more than everything... and now...
I have nothing...
But myself...
And those memories...
...
She was so perfect...
...
Her absence... brings me so much p̵̷̴̷̶̶̢̞̘̦̗̗̦͈̻̾͂͒̏̉̚͝â̸̷̴̴̸̢͇̗̥̝̦̂̈͋͝i̴̷̶̵̶̧̙͎̻͖͖̝̥̩͒͊̒͆̽̾n̵̶̶̶̸̢͓̞͔̱̤̖͚͍̉̋̔̈́͗̌̾.̷̶̸̸̷̷̧̧̛̲̦͖̩̦͗̑̋͌̊͠͝.̴̷̴̸̴̵̵̨͕͔͎̮̖̹͕̩͓͎̐̉̏̄̀̇̋̓́͐̀͊͝ͅ.̵̴̵̴̵̴̧̲̞̥̗̫͚̞͙̏̈́̉̿̀̈́̚͜͝͠
*tears flow down it's cheeks as the illusion stops, the nature around becomes dead and/or charred, the lake is made of blood, the sky is filled with toxins, with dead corpses everywhere*
*Arek wakes up, tears form in his eyes, he looks dull and saddened at the cieling*
...
*he takes a deep breath, and sits up with a sigh closing his eyes*
Arek: ... Don't worry... I'm sure she's living peacefully in haven. *opens them* And if she's not, then you can kick my ass for what I just said...
...
*he blinks and raises his head to look around his room with an expressionless face*
...
*he shakes his head, slaps his face from both sides and cracks up smiling* Yesterday was wild.
(flashback, beyond the gates of sewers, looks like it's pretty close to a city, there's a massive sewage treatment plant, all around the place are helicopters and antiterrorists)
*Arek peeks curiously in a medics tent, May is walking back and forth she's holding her hands behind her and head down with a frown on her face, she looks stressed out like hell*
May: (whispering loudly) God dammit Arek, where the hell are you?
Arek: *smiles so brightly and goes inside opening his arms* Around 90° to your left. *May turns his way opening her eyes wide*
May: Arek! *she jumps on him with open arms and hugs him, immedieatly starts healing his wounds*
Arek: *hugs her back and says laughing* Don't worry, it's not like I was dead or anything you kno?
May: *hugs him tighter* You really think I'd believe that after what happened in front of the school?...
Arek: *puts hands on his waist angeryrirly and frowns* Are you mocking me?
May: *she backs off to face him, she's smiling with tears in her eyes* No, I'm just making you look like an idiot.
Arek: M... *sigh*
...
*hugs her back* Thank you for caring about me so much.
May: Thank you for letting me do so...
...
*sighs and ends the hug :(* Anyway. We should go and see others.
Hubert: *spawned out of nowhere with Aiden&Cynthia* No need, *Arek and May look at him* we already know.
Arek: *raises hes arma excited and walks to him* Yooo Wolfyyy!
Hubert: What in the world are we supposed to do with you? *he uses his nands like an italian while looking away* No matter how hard we try, no matter how fucked up the plan is. *looks at Arek* You always find a way to make it even worse.
Arek: *points it out to him* If you have forgotten already. If it wasn't for me and my "finding a way of making the plan even worse". *leans to Hubert with a problem on his face* Wee! Wouldn't find this place in the first place!
Hubert: *rolls his eyes* Okay okay! *laughs*
*sighs letting his head down, he looks back at Arek* It's good you're here with us all good and alive.
Arek: *points fingers at Wolfy closing one eye and smiling* Absolutely agreed on this one!
*curiosity overtakes him as smile washes off of his face* Well, *shrug* what now?
May: I'm waiting here for any injured, we don't know what might happen.
Arek: *smiles and puts weight on his rear leg as he crosses his arms* Let's hope that the only ones you get to heal are those kidnappers. *gigles*
Oh and where's Amy?
May: Her condition was pretty good so I healed her up and we let her go home.
Arek: Hm. *nods* That's a relief.
Welp. I dunno how bout' you guys. *puts hands behind his head as a support and raises his eyebrows* But I need an f-ing break.
Aiden&Cynthia: Arek.
Arek: *turns to them* Hm?
Aiden&Cynthia: In 30 minutes something is going to happen. *Arek's expression changes to absolute seriousness, he lets his hands down* We will need you then to do exactly as We say.
Arek: Got it.
(end of flashback)
Arek: *puts on his hoodie* It was a really nice adventure, wasn't it? *his head pops out the hood*
I should visit Mark and Sophia soon enough. Bet Mark's gonna be super pissed at me.
Ahh *belly laughs* Good times. Good times.
And don't forget the promise you made to Sophia. *his expression changes to serious one, he walks to the window and looks at the sky*
...
Never forget your reasons.
Your promises.
Yourself...
...
*he goes back to his casual self again* Let's get a move on. Shall we not? *takes his backpack and walks to the corridor*
But THEN!
(flashback, same place but 30 minutes later)
Arek: *he's watching memes on his phone while lying down on bed* Shouldn't they be here by now?
May: *she's sitting beside him* They do.
(irritated) The funny part is them not telling us anything because we are "just kids". While we already have to obey most of the law anyway.
Arek: I don't.
May: Oh. Right. Sorry.
Arek: *cracks up sits straighs and looks at May confused* Sorry? *you hear a massive explosion outside scaring eveyone*
Arek: (scared) Oh shit... *everybody runs out of the tent to see the weird shadowy guy destroying the place, he's floating mid-air athrowing tentacles everywhere, everyone tries to shoot him down, doesn't work*
Arek: *takes deep breath before bending forward making his hands into a cone* HEY YOU! YES, YOU, YOU UGLY ASS FACE TENTACLE HENTAI PIECE OF SHIT!
*Shadowy guy turns at Arek mad*
Shadowy guy: WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!
Arek: *points at him with whole arm* UGLY ASS FACE TENTACLE HENTAI PIECE OF SHIT!
Shadowyguy: I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU! *throws all oh his attacks at Arek*
Arek: *puts hands on his waist* Wolfy!
Hubert: Boss! *creates a massive metal barrier, it bends under the pressure of the darkness but doesn't break*
Arek: *turns to him with a smile and closed eye, thumbs up* Nice one Wolfy.
Hubert: He's strong. But this is our territory. *the metal retracts and lets us see Shadowy guy getting attacked by the antiterrorists, all the elements from the world strike him, but his darkness remains still*
Arek: *makes a cone out of his hands again bends forward and* GUESS WHAT?! YOU STILL SUCK! LIKE A FUCKING VACUUM!
Shadowy guy: *floats still mid-air with tentacles around him stopping everything by flailing around* You know what?!
Arek: *puts weight on his rear leg* What?!
Shadowy guy: I thought I'd simply kill you. *he clenches his fists* But now... *leans forward* I WILL FUCKING TORTURE YOU, I WILL DO IT SO HARD, THAT THE ONLY THING YOU WILL BE ABLE TO THINK OF, IS YOUR DESIRE TO DIE!!! *you hear his armor turning on*
Arek: Hm. *smile* Kinky. *everything around is slowly getting covered in darkness, until you can't see or hear anything*
*he makes a pose ready to fight* Guys. Stay close to each other...
...
Guys? *confused lets down his guard before making a cone with one hand* Heelloo-ooow!? *looks around* Anybody in here!?
...
*lets down his hands* Dammit all.
*the flashback is interrupted, in the kitchen*
Mia: *raises her eyebrow* Wait so. How the hell did you get out of that?
Arek: *scratches his head and looks away while leaning back* Yeeeaaa-*looks at Mia*it was weird.
*looks away again now bending forward* Really really weird.
(back into flashback)
Shadowy guy: *you can hear him from everywhere* Welcome to your worst nightmare.
Arek: Nah. That'd be my social anxiety. *catches himself by forehead stressed and bends forward* I'm really f-ing scared of not being funny one day.
*tilts his head and looks elsewhere* And then also oblivio*interrupted*
Shadowy guy: SHUTUUUP!!! YOU WILL DROWN IN THIS DARKNESS AND DIE!
...
...
...
Arek: So umm, why is nothing happening?
*no response, his phone starts to ring, he jumps away scared flailing his arms around trying to defend himself from nothing* HOLY SHIT!... *calms down and stands straight* Well that scared the shit out of me. *tries to pick it up but it's invisible as is everything else, he somehow manages to do it*
Aiden&Cynthia: Arek, go straight ahead exactly 9 steps.
Arek: Wha*interrupted*
Aiden&Cynthia: We've already been through this, just do as We say.
Arek: (serious) Okay. *walks exactly 9 steps to his front*
Aiden&Cynthia: 7 steps to your right. *Arek does as AdC told him, he steps into something*
Arek: What's this?
Aiden&Cynthia: An old friend of yours. *Arek picks it up*
Arek: *GASPS in pog* My metal rod! It's so beautiful!
Even tho I can't see it. *he cracks up* Now what? *shrug*
Aiden&Cynthia: Now turn exactly 12° to your right.
Arek: (bruh) I... can't see...
Aiden&Cynthia: We know.
...
Arek: (confused) Okay I guess. *doesn't turn "exactly" 12° right, but that was supposed to happen*
Aiden&Cynthia: Go forward 11 and a half steps. *Arek does so*
Something should be in front of you, if you'll touch it, you will say that it feels like touching fluffy darkness. Go full auto with the iron rod!
Arek: That's all you had to say you two. *raises his hands while holding rod* GEET! GOOD! *goes full auto on whatever that thing is, it sounds like clashing steel, after 24 attacks you can see something, every single blow makes everything brighter and brighter, after 35th attack you can see that Arek was attacking the Shadowy guy, he doen't have the dark cover on him is armor clearly visible, AdC were prottecting everyone from tentacles that would crush them otherwise, Shadowy guy is squatting on the ground with his armor on, Arek stops*
Arek: What th*interrupted*
Aiden&Cynthia: KEEP ATTACKING! *Arek now enraged again goes full auto but even faster, after another 23 attacks his armorgoes off, but Arek doesn't stop, just seven more to make sure that nothing will happen*
Arek: *he's looking down at the wrecked face of the shadowy guy, breathing heavily* Now what?
Aiden&Cynthia: (behind Arek) Now we'll tell you what happened. *Arek turns to them*
(end of flashback)
(Arek and Mia are having breakfast)
Mia: *proud of her bro she takes him by his shoulders with one arm and hupes him up rubbing his head hard* That's my blood! Hm hm hm hm. *not much changes, his hair is still a mess, Mia lets him go after a while*
Arek: *sighs and looks at her* It's all because of you that I'm so brutal you know?
Mia: Then what else would you do?
... *Arek saddens and looks down*
Exactly.
...
...
(genuine) Arek. *glances at him* Sometimes there are no other options except violence.
Especially in this world.
*takes him by his shoulder and gets closer* What you did, was fine.
...
Arek: *sigh*
Maybe... I just wish there was a better option.
Mia: *puts her elbows on table and supports her head with them* We crave for what we don't have.
Don't we.
...
Arek: *he washes the un-smile off of his face* Well.
AdC told me that the piece of shit created darkness everywhere and then spread around that weird dark cover that consumed all soul power. So basically noone could do anything except May and me.
*smiles smug and proud* But AdC were fast enough to create a barier. Both for particles and tentacles that that p o s was attacking us with.
*looks at Mia opening his palm* And here's when I came in clutch.
Me.
0 soul power. And the piece of shit couldn't see in darkness either.
He had soul vision. That's how he found everyone while being in unconscious state. *smug points at himeslf with thumb* But he didn't find me!
I think you can figure the rest yourself. *monches his breakfast*
Mia: Hm. Would you look at that. Second time your lack of soul power came in handy.
Arek: *swallows, smiles devilishly and leans back* Let's make it three.
Arek's mom: *goes in the kitchen yawning and says exhausted* Naaaw, you wont... *she rubs her eyes and sits down beside Arek* You're not getting in any more life threating fights Arek...
Arek: (can't do that) Sorry mom but that's not exactly how it works.
If AdC tell me to do something or the world will break. *raises his eyebrows* I'm with them.
Arek's mom: *angeryrirly looks at him and frowns* Mmm...
Arek: *attempts to explain* It's AdC mom. Time and Space.
*opens his palm* They know more than anyone in this world.
...
Arek's mom: *sighs saddened*
I suppose I can't argue...
...
Please stay safe...
Arek: *cracks up smiling* You don't have to say it twice. *belly laughs*
I promise I'll try.
(flashback intensifies)
*everyone's gathering around Arek*
Arek: *keeps his hand on waist looking at ppl* So umm. *points behind with his thumb with and raises his eyebrow* Can anybody tie him up or something?
AntiTerrorist: Disarm him! *antiterrorists tie the shadowy guy up, take him to a buggy and drive away*
Arek: Hm. That ought to do it. *turns excitedly* Anyway we goin' arcade or what?! *a huge man in camo suit is walking up to Arek*
May: Sounds good to me.
Hubert: We've actually got lucky. Just look how close to the city we are! *they look at it*
Anti Terrorist Capitan: (to Arek) Young man. *Arek and rest of the team turn to him*
Thank you for your help with the situation we've encountered, not only did you lead us to their hideout but also helped us with catching their leader. You have my word that you will be rewarded for that.
Arek: Ayy. *points finger at him closing his eye, he the opens his hand* Thanks a bunch. Either way it was enough for me to save those kids.
Also. I wouldn't be able to do a thing if not for my friends over there. *looks at Aiden&Cynthia* They were, the one who guided me through all of this so. Yeah.
They deserve more than me.
Anti Terrorist Capitan: But it was you who did all the dirty work.
Arek: *frowns, tilts and scratches his head trying to not take all the creddit* I mean... *tilts it again raising his s cheek* Yeeaah. But... *and again raising his eyebrow and looking at capitan* No?...
Anti Terrorist Capitan: I will make sure you are rewarded. *he extends hand for a shake*
Arek: *closes his eyes embarassed and sighs while scratching his head, he looks at AT Capitan* Thanks a lot. *shakes his hand, AT Capitan leaves*
...
Hubert: ALROOOIGHT LOOK AT THE HERO OVER HERE! *picks him up and holds him over his head like a dumbbell* THAT'S MY BOSS ALRIGHT!
Arek: (excited) Dude! *raises his fists* I am de best!
Hubert: YES YOU F-ING ARE! *puts Arek down and hugh fives* I just wish I could record that!
Arek: Same here bro!
May: And who said that I didn't?
Arek&Hubert: (sparkling eyes) You did?!
May: Nope.
Arek: ("aw man" face) Wut? Nooouuu... *sad looks down*
Hubert: ("are you fucking shitting me" face) Seriously?...
May: ... Pffffhahaha*covers her face and keeps laughing*hahmhmhmhmhm, you should've seen your faces. Don't worry, I was just kidding, I have it recorded. *tilts her head and looks away* But you can't see much.
Arek: *points ay her excited* You better send it to me later.
Hubert: *same but angry* You owe me something for those jokes of yours.
May: *rolls her eyes at Hubert taking a step forward* Aaand you owe me 200 bucks for all the ca*interrupted*
Hubert: *stressed out scratches his head and looks at the sky* Oh wow, would you look at the sky, it's such a lovely evening isn't it?! Let's get something to eat and go over to the arcade before it turns night! *he walks to the medics tent*
... *they look at Hubert go*
Arek: *slightly turns his head to May* Is he ever going to give you back your money?
May: *same* He probably won't. *and turns it fully* But I am kinda hungry.
Arek: *does the same* Same.
*smiles* Let's go.
May: M-hm. *they slowly follow Hubert*
Arek: *turns energetically and walks backwards* Oh n' by the way. How many times did you have to redo today?
Aiden&Cynthia: 76 times.
Arek: (surprised) Wow, that's quite a lot.
Aiden&Cynthia: Not really. It's less than usual.
Arek: Oh.
...
*sigh*
You did good job.
If noone else.
I, am proud of you.
Thank you. *they smile a bit*
...
(in front of the arcade in the city, it's all covered inneons like arcade is supposed to be)
Arek: *excited puts fists to his chest with sparkling eyes*Awww yes! I can't frckn' wait to play air hockey. *questions his knowledge* It's called airhockey, right?
May: You should call it the way you want as long as it's easy to understand.
Arek: *excited again!* YEAH! who cares what it's called anyway. Let's just get in already! *belly laughs*
Hubert: Hey boss. *Arek turns to him* What do you say about quick 1v1.
Arek: *smiles so smugly* You never stood a chance wolfy.
(5 minutes later in the arcade)
*Arek is clinging to May crying his eyes out*
Arek: I *sob* and then *sob* almost *sob* but he *sob* and I *sob* and then *sob* and then! *cries his eyes out, May pats him on his head*
May: There, there. *turns towards Hubert* -_- You won.
God job.
Hubert: *has a problem, he opens his arms angrily* And what did I do?!
May: (angery) You couldn't take a 10 to 0 loss, so you turned on your armor.
Hubert: And what's so bad about that?!
*Aiden&Cynthia stare at him judgingly, Hubert notices them*
*leans back angry* UNGH FINE! *huffs and leans forward, he then looks at Arek* Arek, I am sorry that I turned my armor on and made this 1v1 unfair, *looks away and mumbles under his nose* even though it should befair to use anything you have to win.
Truce?
Arek: *he goes back to hus happy self and puts hands on his waist as if nothing happened, fake tears go brrr* Yeah sure why not.
Hubert: -_- You were faking that... Weren't you?...
Arek: *rolls his eyes raising his open hands up to his shoulders and says all smug and proud of himself with a questioning voice* But who there is to know such a mystery?
*turns with a challengeful domeanor openig arms* So.
Who's next?
Aiden&Cynthia: *emotionless as always, they burst with contrast* We are.
Arek: *"la problem has been encountered" is written on Arek's face as he scratches his head tilted* Weeellll... There is indeed a problem...
May: *she steps up to Arek* I can fight along with you. *May has joined the party*
Arek: *bursts with haapiness and points at May looking at her* Ayyy!
Hubert: *sighs, lets his head down and says to himself* I suppose that I'll be the commentator.
*he raises his head* ALRIGHT!
ON OUR RIGHT SIDE WE HAVE AREK! OUR ONE AND ONLY BOSS! AND MAY! AKA! MERCY!
AND ON OUR LEFT SIDE WE HAVE AIDEN AND CYNTHIA! THE TRUE INCARNATIONS OF TIME AND SPACE!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! THIS WILL BE THE MOST GLORIOUS FIGHT YOUR EYES SHALL BESTOW!
*presses the button and says* FIGHT!
THE PUCK IS IN THE AIR! WHO'LL GET IT FASTER? *as it lands Arek with a speed of light goes for it, punching it at a perfect angle*
FIRST STRIKE GOAL! *Aiden&Cynthia's delicate smiles turns into small shock*
Arek: (confident & smug) He who strikes first wins!
*poses like a jojo character* I watched too many memes!
Hubert: AIDEN N' CYNTHIA START LOOKING SERIOUS! *they put the puck back onthe arena and strike back*
SUCH A POWERFUL ATTACK, AND YET IT IS NO MATCH FOR MAY! *May strikes back at them at a bad angle simply giving them the puck, and so they strike, Arek swipes his arm*
GOAL! *but he's slower than it*
Arek: *glances at May* Maybe I'll take the offense and you the defense?
May: *embarrassed looks away* Yeah. Probably a good idea... *Arek takes the puck and puts it back on the arena*
Hubert: AND STRIKE! *missed by a millimeter* BUT OUR LOVERS WON'T SIMPLY LOSE TO ANY ATTACK! And STRIKE! *May blocks, and Arek quickly replies with a strike to the side*
GOAL!
Arek: *raises an poen hand to May* Now this is what you call a real dream team! *high five*
May: (confident) We win this easy!
Hubert: THE LOVERS STRIKE! BLOCK BY AREK AND STRIKE! *people start to gather around* POINT FOR THE LOVERS!
STRIKE!
BLOCK!
GOAL!
...
And now! Ladies and gentelmen!
Arek: *points his finger up looking at everyone with a laughing smile* AND COWARDS!
Hubert: *cracks up smiling opening his eyes widely and looking down for a split second, he then agressively looks at Arek resisting the laughter* What...? *belly laughs before taking a deep breath*
SUDDEN DEATH!
May: (confused) Cowards...?
Arek: (goofy ahh voice) Ye. Gotta be gender neutral u kno.
Anyway. *breathe in and out* Let's do this.
Shall we not?
May: *opens her eyes widely and says challengefuly* Oh it's not a simple shall. *clutches her fist* We f-ing will!
Arek: (excitement 100) ALRIGHT! *Arek puts the puck on the arena and
Hubert: HE STRIKES! PEOPLE, DO YOU ACTUALLY SEE THIS!? THIS IS SUCH A FAST BATTLE I DON'T SEE FIRST SHIT! *the puck is going back and forth at enormous speed* FOR HOW LONG CAN THEY KEEP THIS UP?!
Arek: *sees the approaching puck* (thinking) Monkey sees action. Special move! NEURON ACTIVATION!!! *he strikes*
Hubert: GOAL! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!
*looks away rolling his eyes* And cowards. *excited again* WE! HAVE! WINNERS!
Arek: ALROOOIGHT! *clutches his fists in the air* That was a hard fight! But in the end of the day it is always night! *nods to himself closing his eyes*
May: You said it yourself.
*closses her eye and points rapidly at him and herself* Team A n' M gettincha done! *Arek stares at May with hie eyes wide open from realization, he catches onto the drift*
Both: Makin' the money! *both pointing at each other leaning back with single eye closed and smug like hell*
...
Arek: *stands straight* That was perfect.
May: *nods closing her eyes* Can't agree more.
Arek: Aaanyway. *opens his arms in air and spins and walks around looking at everyone* Is there anyone else who can keep up with us?! (Narrator: Hey to those who know the referrence.)
*silence*
*shrugs tilting his head and closing his eyes* Oh well. *opens them and looking away* Too bad I guess.
May: There aren't many who would have even a little of a chance against you anyway.
Arek: *leans to her pointing at her with a bright smile* You meant us!
May: E... *sighs closing eyes*
*and opens them* You know what I mean.
Arek: *confused smile* What?! *backs off and stretches his arms forward shaking them in denial* Nonononononononononono, *one more push with hands* no, *stands straight putting one hand on waist and other opening and raising to his shoulder* c'mon, you really did a good job out there. *opens his arms shrugging* And I couldn't do it without you, give yourself a bit more credit.
Just think about it.
*makes his hands into claws in excitement* You were blocking these like a master.
May: *gigles covering her mough* Thanks.
...
Hubert: Well. *raises his eyebrow* What's next?
Arek: *bends forward and stretches his arms forward again flailing his hands up and down rying to figure something out* I want to go on those... things with... those, those, *grabs air with his hands* hooks, *glances at Hubert* that always take all of your money...
May: *tilts her head smiling* You mean the lucky hand?
Arek: *stands straight and points at May excited* Ye-that one!
Hubert: I am sincerely sorry but I'll have to stop you there.
Arek: (confused unga bunga) Wut, wai?
Hubert: This whole *bends forward as he says* "luck". *and stands straight crossing his arms* That you need. *raises his arm to shoulder opening it and shaking his head a bit* Is just a bunch of bullshit. It works more or less 1 per 30 tries. *not so excited closes his eyes a bit* So yeah, this one isa no-go.
Arek: But isn't everything that needs *bends as he says* "luck". Is just a bunch of b.s.?
*smiles* C'mon, it'll be fun. *and doess it so brightly and smugly* And it's even more fun when you know that it's all rigged. *looks away rollng his eyes and leaning back* Apaaart from that. *looks at Wolfy* My guts say that it's going tobe a good day today.
The gods of rng are with me.
Hubert: *shrug* Suit yourself then. But I'm not coming. I'm not really into Loosing all the money.
Aiden&Cynthia: Same.
Arek: -_- Crap...
Hubert: I'll be on some high-quality shooters. *turns and waves as he leaves* Later.
Arek: What about you two? *looks at AdC, they look at each other and back at him*
AdC: Somewhere else. *they point to some where else and walk away* Later.
Arek: -_- Dammit.
... *Arek thinks hard looking up and making a face*
May: *gets closer and Arek realizes in a small shock blushing* If you want to I can teach you how to have a bigger chance of winning.
Arek: *nod with hand* Nah.
*shrugs and walks towards the money making machine* My pockets are full anyway. And I want to do it m-self.
May: Alright then. *she follows him*
*they slowly pace between the endless arcade stands, yes I just Jojo referrenced*
May: So many nice memories with this place.
Arek: Mm-hm.
May: *she glances at him* Do remember that time when you beat some kid at the air hockey?
Arek: *smiles smugly* And how could I forget something like that? *they stop at the lucky hand*
May: You didn't give him a single chance. *gigles while saying* He cried like there was no tomorrow. *Arek inserts a coin and presses the button*
Arek: He kinda deserved it tho. *aims* He was talking bullshit bout' others, laughed at everyone. *shoots but* Just because you can outplay almost everyone doesn't mean you can be p o s to others. *didn't catch anything* -_- Crap. *plays again and goes back to his casual form*
May: *she leans on a machine opposite to lucky hand and looks back at air hockey* At first he was laughing at you too. *and turns to Arek* Yet you didn't give the first thing about it. I think that it was the only time you destroyed someone without saying a single word. *Arek looses*
Arek: Shoot. *and plays again* Nah. Not my only time I did that.
May: *intrigues tilts her head* Really?
Arek: Yyyup. *smiles raising his eyebrows* But that's a story for another time.
May: Just don't forget to say it one day to me, kay? *looses and plays again*
Arek: I probably will, so, sorry in advance. ;p (Narrator: I think he did forgor.)
May: *sigh*
It's fine. *belly laughs and covers her mouth while looking at Arek struggling*
Arek: C'mon gut. I know that this one will land. *it lands* HOly shIt it actually worked. (Narrator: Hey to those who know the referrence.)
May: *looks over Arek's shoulder* Oh wow. I'm actually surprised it did.
Arek: *takes a pillow-sized sheep plushie out of the hole and says not too satisfied* Just a Lil sheep plush... *opens his eyes wide with realization* wait no... *with excitement he holds it in the air like Simba* I got an entire Lil sheep plush!
May: Looks cute.
Arek: *nods several times* Tru, tru... *turns and hands it to May smiling delicately* Here. It's yours.
May: (blush) ... T-thanks... bu*interrupted*
Arek: It's the least I can give you after all the things you did for me. I don't have too much money, so I can at least give you kindness, *looks to her eyes and tilts his head* can't I?
...
May: I know what you mean. *sigh* Thank you. *cuddles with sheep plush*
Arek&Narrator: (thinking) God I wish that was me.
Arek: *stands on one leg, spins slowly in place and says* So!
*stops looking at May and leaning to her* Where would you like to go next?
May: Me?
Arek: *sighs and bends backwards facepalming for less than a second, he bursts out opening his arms wide and says sarcastically* No, Santa Claus! *May laughs* Of course I meant you ffs! *smiles mid-sentence*
*points angeryrirly at May* Now back to the question!
Where, would you like, to go, next? *leans to May as he says "next"*
May: *looks away thinking and puts hand on her chin* Mmm... *looks at Arek hapily* What do you say about some racing games?
Arek: *shrug* Sounds good to me. *they go side by side, makes claws out of his hands and looks at May* But can you pleeaase take it easy on me.
May: (distinguished) No way.
You had your knight in shining armor moment while we played air hockey.
*glances at Arek with her sharp eyes* Now's my turn.
Arek: *sighs rolling his eyes* Fine. Fine. Geeezzz. *cracks up*
