“Ugh. Let’s do. . . Fruit Ninja.”

"Sure, works for me. I'll do whatever."

“Okay.” Orion put two tokens in the machine. “You get to play at the same time as I do on this one.”

"Oh, alright… how do I play it?" Lin asked, stepping up to the machine beside Orion.

“You just swipe your finger across the fruits, and try not to hit the bombs, as well.”

"Alright, then." Lin raised his finger to the screen and started playing alongside Orion. He seemed to be doing fairly well, although he was still bumfuzzled.

“You’re doing good,” she said, giving him a light poke.

"Thanks… I've just been doing what you said. I don't think it's too hard? Unless I'm doing it really right…"

"It isn't that hard. Except when you do the endless version because then the fruit goes really fast."

"I guess that makes sense." Lin shrugged a bit. "When does the game end?"

"There's a three minute time limit, so like two more minutes."

"Okay…" Lin kept playing until the game said that it read over, at such point he stepped away. "Did we win?"

"Yeah." Tickets began filtering out of the machine in red curls.

"noice. What game do you want to play next?" He asked as he picked up some of the tickets.

“I guess. . . Crossy cobble-stone-clippity-clop? You should be good at that one. You have fast reflexes.”

"Sure, if you want to. I'm fine to play whatever you want to play, Orion."

"I just want to ask, To be respectful and all."

"Alright… I really don't mind what we do, though." Lin smiled softly.

"Let's do the lazer maze then."

"Laser maze? How do you do that?"

“They use concentrated light, so the lazers are harmless. Have you seen the spy movies where the trip wires are lazers and they have to manuever around them? It’s like that.”

"Uh… not really, but alright. I can probably figure it out." Lin shrugged a bit and followed Orion.

“It’s not difficult to figure put but it’s hard to actually do.”

"If you say so." Lin looked around curiously. "So we just dodge the lasers?"

“Yeah.” She put tokens in the slot and pushed back the curtain. “Ready?”

"Yeah, I think so." Lin prepared himself, going through the curtain.

Orion wiggles herself between the first set of lazers and then sat for a moment, looking at the next part of the maze.

Lin slipped through the gap between the lasers pretty easily and continued onward, making sure he was cognizant of his surroundings.

Orion shimmied under the next lazer, then jumped over the next.
