Adventure Time...?

Louis stepped off the platform, breathing hard. "Oh trust me, I don't dance." He huffed with an unsure smile. "Want to go at it again? Or move on." He said standing more straight. "Maybe we should grab some drinks?" The tall student asked when a whiff of fruity smells hit his nose.

After the dancing, Erin was pretty tired. Even though they hadn't been there long, she thought it was a good time to take a short break. Dancing was hard and quite a workout. "Wanna take a break?" she asked him, looking toward the juice bar. "Something from the juice bar does sounds pretty good right now."

"Sure." Louis nodded, walking over to the juice bar. He looked up at the vast menu, wondering what to order. "Uh, I'll have Berry Blast, small please." He told the lady at the counter then moved over so Erin could order.

The redhead quickly took Louis's place and stared at the menu. She really had no idea what she wanted. Everything looked so delicious. A lot of it, though, was that she had never heard of half of these drinks. America certainly was weird in the food department. However, she finally found something she knew she'd enjoy. "Strawberry banana smoothie," she said with a smile as the cashier took her order. When she was done, Erin found a seat close by, patting the stool next to her for Louis to join as they waited for their drinks. "You going to stand there all day?" she asked playfully.

Louis grabbed his drink from the counter and followed Erin to a table. "Sitting is way better." Taking a few sips from the straw he soon gave a sigh of enjoyment. "This is pretty good." The blonde looked around the game lounge. "Say after this we do a racing game?" He smiled as looked at the loud racing machine a little bit away from the two.

After a moment, the cashier set Erin's smoothie down in front of her as the girl smiled at her new friend. "Racing game, huh?" she asked, looking around the room until she found the game he was talking about. It looked interesting enough. With a shrug she turned back around and took a sip of her drink, enjoying the cold creaminess that came with it. Setting her cup back down again, she turned to face Louis once again. "You are so on!"

Louis could tell the girl got excited. "How bout we make a little wager? The person to lose he race buys the next game." He said sarcastically. The nice thing about this particular game was it was synced to the game next to it, so people could play with eachother. The student finished his smoothie, savoring every sip, got up, and walked to a trashcan, throwing his cup away. "Ready when you are." He smiled.

The autumn laughed for a moment and rather loudly too. Buying the next game? That was certainly something she could do. "Okay fine. You want to play that way? I can play that way," she giggled before downing the rest of her smoothie as quickly as she could. Standing up and tossing the cup into the trash, she didn't waste any time going to the racing game across the way. When she got there, she plopped down into the seat closest to her and got situated, scooting it closer to the steering wheel on the console. "Come on slowpoke!" Erin taunted as she set up her game.

He playfully rolled his eyes and walked over to the car game. He put a few coins threw the slot and pressed start. Louis, having long legs had to ajust his seat, which was stuck on something but it finally slammed backwards to the correct length. Already being a bit behind Erin, he scrambled to pick his car. 10 seconds. He looked to the timer at the top of the screen. 3...2...1...Ad we're off! He put the petal to the metal. The Japan map it generated was pretty cool, and Louis had trouble not admiring the graphics and focusing on the race.

On the other hand, Erin was out to win. She was determined to win this game even if it only meant not paying for another 75 cent game. That was better than nothing right? Pressing start and waiting for the race to start, Erin pushed her hair back out of the way and gripped the steering wheel in front of her. 3...2...1... And we're off! Erin didn't hesitate. Pushing down the gas pedal as far as it would go, her care taking off down the virtual road. It didn't take her long to begin passing the CPU cars in front of her as she raced down the track, finish the first lap in fourth place.

Louis was put in 11th place, Erin in 12th at the beginning of the race. He could see her car a few CPUs in front of him, and he tried to catch up. Unfortunately, he hadn't played a game like this in a while and was a little rusty. After the first lap, he was on her tail, ready to speed past her, but the game had another idea. Turning a sharp corner, Louis drifted to much and slammed into the wall. KNOCK OUT. The screen said after he crashed and the CPUs had no problem passing him while the machine took its time to regenerate him. Soon Louis was back in the race. 6th place?! How am I supposed to catch up to her now?

"Ha ha!" she shouted as her car raced around the track. She quickly passed other cars on the road and other passed her but she didn't end up seeing Louis's car. In what seemed like seconds, the second and third lap zoomed by until her screen lit up with FIRST PLACE and sounds blared from the speakers with the victory. It was an exciting feeling for her, feeling the rush of competition again. With a big smile, she threw her hands in the air and quickly relaxed in the seat, giggling from the excitement. "That was fun!" she said.

Louis was soon in 5th place but he was too late. He finished the last lap and a sort of "you lost" style of music played. He sat back in his chair defeated and turned his head to Erin with a smile. "Nice job!" He held out a fist for a fist bump. "What do you want to do now?" He honestly didn't care about paying for the next game, he was having too much fun to worry about stuff like that.

With a big, toothy grin, Erin reached over and bumped fists before leaning back in the seat again, trying to think of what to do next. There were a lot of games in here, but there were only so many that she actually played. If only there were a bowling alley... "I'm not sure..." she said, slightly defeated that nothing was coming to mind. "You have any ideas?"

He gave a nod. "Nope. But there are so many options, I bet we'll think of something soon!" He said trying to lift the mood. Erin was really nice and although he didn't know much about her, Louis hoped they could become better friends.
