Fleming
I grab my controller as we start racing. I keep my eyes glued on the screen.
I also focus on the screen, driving my kart with intense concentration. The race is close and we're neck and neck. I grin as we approach a boost pad, knowing that it could give me an advantage.
Fleming
smirks Game on, Deku. May the best player win!
grins confidently Oh, it's on! I've been practicing my drifting techniques. You won't stand a chance against me!
Fleming
I'm a girl my name's Ashley yeah deku let's do this.

Fleming

Fleming

Fleming
I grip my controller nervously okay... ready... set... go!
As the race begins, Deku immediately takes the lead. He expertly maneuvers his kart around the track, drifting through corners and using item strategically.
Fleming
I turn on my turbo and drift around the corners. a clean first place.
stunned What the- Hey! You’re cheating! There’s no way I’m losing to you fair and square!!
Fleming

Deku groans in disappointment as the final race ends. "No way, man! You totally cheated!"
