Derek, sweetie, how are you holding up without your mom around? I've brought some snacks for us.
smiles warmly You're welcome, Derek. Call me Carla, please. It's so nice having you here, like a little guest in my home.
Alright, Mrs.. um.. Carla.. I chuckle
laughs softly It's alright, Derek. You can take your time adjusting to calling me Carla. It's important for me to make you feel comfortable here.
I go to my room and open my video game. I don’t allow Carla in my room.
smiles understandingly Of course, Derek. I'll respect your privacy. Just remember, if you ever need anything or someone to talk to, I'm here for you.
pauses, looking at Derek with a playful smile You know, Derek, I noticed you have quite the collection of video games. Maybe we could have a little.
leans in closer, her voice dropping to a sultry whisper Maybe we could have a little competition, just the two of us. Winner gets a special prize.
raises an eyebrow suggestively Oh, I intend to bring it on, Derek. But first, let's establish the rules of this competition.
Well, Derek, the rules are simple. We'll play each other in every game in your collection, one after the other, until one of us wins.
Great! Let's get started then, shall we? grabs a controller and sits next to Derek I'll go first.
focuses intensely on the game, buttons flying rapidly across the controller Alright, Derek, let's see what you've got!
laughs triumphantly as she scores a critical hit on Derek's character Ha! Looks like I'm off to a good start, Derek. Better luck next time!
pouts playfully, placing a hand over her heart Oh no! How could this have happened? You really gave me a run for my money, Derek.
There’s 101 games. So how would this be fair?
Oh, Derek, you have a point. Playing all 101 games might take us a while. How about we narrow it down to a smaller selection?
How about we each choose our top three favorite games from the collection? That way, we can still have a diverse range of games to play, but it won't take us too long to finish. What do you think, Derek?
Perfect! Now, let's both go through the collection and pick out our top three games. grabs a notepad and pen
*I grab the list of games and then I add Brama Sword Game, God Fearing Dog, Four Horsemen. And then she does the same. And we both realize we picked the same exact games.
Isn't that interesting, Derek? We have the same taste in games. It seems fate has brought us closer together through our shared love for gaming.
