Jessica, having us both by the arms now, takes us into her car and blindfolded us. At this point, I am so utterly confused that I don't even know what to say.

"Um... Hey Jessica, WHY THE CRAP ARE WE BLINDFOLDED??" Rylee asked.

"Yeah, um, what exactly are you doing Jessica?" I ask. She giggles as she starts the car. I am so nervous right now. It's not like I want to go on a date, and I'm pretty sure she's going to kill the effectiveness of this whole scheme if she keeps this up.

"So, I have decided to take you boys on an adventure. I will let you guess where we are going though. GUESS AWAY!!" She said. It was silent for a second, but then Rylee said,

"Does is have to do with videogames?" I could just sense the eye roll in Jessica.

"Kind of, keep guessing," she said. See, Rylee is obsessed with videogames, his favorite being Call Of Duty. We have some pretty epic showdowns though. He usually wins.

"How about a restaurant?" I ask.

"Nope, not even close," she replied. Why is she doing this to us? I sigh and I feel the car moving. I can tell we are going over a turn.

"How about, does it have to do anything with roller coasters?" Rylee asked.

"No," she sounded exasperated, "think local. What place has something to do with video games, but is local?" She said. We both were confused, or at least I was really confused. I'm sure he was confused too.

"Really? Could you just tell us already?" I said. She sighed,

"No, that takes the fun out of it!" She said. She is really confusing. I want her to calm down and tell us already!!

"Fine. Ice skating," I said.

"Now you are getting somewhere, keep it up!" Jessica replied. I think I know where it is but I don't want to say anything. She's a genius.

"Is it the virtual ice rink?" Rylee asked.

"Bingo! Yup, you guys got it, and we are here anyways," she said. The virtual ice rink is so fun. You can skate around the ice rink, but it is also a laser tag arena with videogame-like structures. She's brilliant for taking us here. 

We all get out of the car and walk into the building. Neon lights are flashing everywhere, and the cashier's hair is glowing green. My hair starts glowing blue.

"Welcome to the virtual ice rink, my name is Todd how may I help you?" He says in the most unedited monotone voice possible.

"Three pairs of skates please, one size 10, one size 9 1/2, and one size 11 please," how does Jessica know our shoe sizes? Whatever. I get stuck with the neon pink ones, Jessica got blue, and Rylee got neon green skates. I would have liked his skates better. We go into the place where they fit your suits and pick your laser guns, and we get in line.

They fit me with a pink pair of guns and a pink suit, of course, and the same colors for Jessica and Rylee. We start a new game right next to the other players, and got started.
