Mai pressed hard on the keyboards, typing the name like a mantra all over again. She pressed enter and her bank account in her Sims world doubled by 50,000


She's been obsessed with the Sims 3 game she got at GameStop days ago when her, Denshi and her friends went out to the mall. She not once left her seat unless she went out for some food or to the bathroom. She had her headphones in like a professional gamer while sitting in a leather chair as he bore her eyes onto the PC.


Denshi kicked the door open instead of using his occupied hands. His hands were busy with the grocery bags. He looked at Mai when he walked into her room, he snorted instantly to see Mai still sitting on her chair and playing the game. He wasn't surprised at this point.





"Right where I left you.." He noted under his breath and she still had her gaze fixated on the screen. He looked into the grocery bag, smiling, before digging a hand into the brown bag. He pulled out something that made some wrinkling noise before he plopped it to her side. She now decides to look at the bag of spicy chips she likes so much.






"Thanks, babe."





"How's the game coming along?" He looks at the screen she returned to and he sees a family of four roaming around the mansion she recently bought. He looked closely and blinked a few times before giving his inquiry.


"Uh..Mai..


Is that me?"


The slick back hair was uncommon to him but the purple eyes and name underneath his profile was a dead giveaway. In fact, he realized it was everyone he knew. There was Mai's own sim, playing on the computer like she was right now. The blue hair girl was totally Miwa and the guy sim she was showering with just now is...Mechamaru? He couldn't tell.


"Heh yeah, that's you. I made you, Miwa and a version of Mechamaru. It may not be what he looks like but it's just an idea I envisioned behind that puppet of his." The way she spoke about it to Denshi made him laugh. She was wayyy too hung over this game.


"Well, what am I doing now?" He settles the grocery bags down to the side before reaching over to the mouse. His hand gliding over hers just to press on his character. The game takes it directly to his point of view, and what he sees makes his face scrunch in confusion.


"Wait, why am I vomiting?" He asked Mai and the girl giggled deviously.


"You ate some rotten macaroni cheese my character left in the fridge."


"That.. makes sense."


He only watches for a few moments until he feels a loud vibrate in the back pocket of his jeans. He reaches for his phone and it buzzes with the name 'Mom' across the screen. He presses accepts and answers the phone.


"Hey mom, how are you?"


Mai pauses her game and takes off her headphones when she hears him speak to his mom. She slightly spins the chair half of his direction to get a good peek of the conversation.


"Really? You want to do that?" He asked. "As in, this Sunday?"


He looks at Mai before turning his back.


"Sure, I'll ask her." He mumbles. "I'll let you know what she says, okay? Okay, I love you too! Bye."


He hangs up and she asked who was on the phone. He beamed at the question,
