THiRD PERSON POV
The two quickly hopped into Michie's car, Michie was the driver. Since Michie was driver Wilbur considered himself the "DJ" as he put it, giving himself full access to the aux cord. He played some odd songs, but ended up playing Creep by Radiohead.

"WHAT IN THE VIRGIN MUSIC?" Michie yelled since the music was very loud.

"VIRGIN?! THIS IS HIGH QUALITY MUSIC!" Wilbur yelled back.

Michie didn't want to admit this, but they genuinely liked the song. It was one of their favorites, but they also like poking fun at Wilbur for enjoying it as well by calling it "Virgin Music". Michie started subconsciously singing the lyrics, not loudly but loud enough for Wilbur to hear.

"You dickhead! Don't insult Raidohead if you enjoy it as well!" Wilbur said jokingly.

"'Dickhead'! You do realize I have full control of this vehicle, I could crash if I wanted to." Michie said sounding sinister.

"I...I apologized sincerely, please don't kill me." Wilbur said while putting his hands together as a way of apologizing.

Michie parked infront of the arcade. The glowing lights, loud machines, and smell of pure sugar and grease could be sensed from outside. They both looked at eachother excitedly. They both have the mind of a 12 year old. They ran into the arcade and Michie bought them both cards filled with 1,000 tickets.

"Why's you get so many! That was hella expensive and now I've got to pay you back." Will said as they went deeper into the arcade looking for something to play.

"Go big or go home! Plus you don't need to pay me back, let's have fun!" Michie said while grabbing Wills hand and dragging him towards a claw machine, the jumbo one. If it weren't for the dark atmosphere of the arcade, Michie would've seen the dark blush that crept onto Will's face as they grabbed his hand.

"I'm going to try to get the giant Piplup. I don't care how much tickets I use but I will get it." Michie said.

They swiped the card on the receiver, the machine said "Good Luck!" As the music played, signaling the game was on. Michie centered the claw on top of the giant Piplup, they ran to the side of the machine to make sure it was perfectly centered. And without hesitation, they smacked the button that dropped down the claw. Both Wilbur and Michie watched in suspense as the claw went down, grabbing onto Piplups head and going up. They both chanted "please" as the claw slowly made its way to the drop area. Both of them holding their breath as Piplup slowly was falling from the claws grasp, but like if a deity heard their prayers, he held on and fell into the area where Michie could collect their prize.

"LETS GO!" Yelled Michie as they swiftly opened the prize door and out popped Piplup.

Wilbur let go of the breath he was holding in and watched as Michie looked Piplup in face and gave him a hug. Wilbur thought that was cute of them.

"Let me try, I want the giant blue cat, it looks funky." Will said.

Michie stood next to Wilbur as he attempted to get the blue funky looking cat, it took him a couple of tries and kids were lining up behind them yelling things like "Aren't you guys too old!" "We want to have a go!" But he finally got it.

He turned to look at the kids and yelled confidently "You children need to shut up sometimes when someone is concentrating on a fucking claw machine!"

"Hey! I heard that, don't be thinking you can talk to children like that. Aren't you too old to even be here?" Some woman asked Wilbur. Michie was trying so hard to hold in their laughter.

"Then why are you here, I think it's odd that an old-" Wilbur was cut off my Michie dragging him away from the scene he was creating.

"Whyd you drag me out of there I was gonna let that woman know how's boss?!" Wilbur yelled at Michie who was practically chocking.

"Dude! You were causing a scene and I was not about to get kicked out because you wanted to fight with a 60 year old and 12 year old." Michie said while laughing.

"Ugh you never let me have any fun!" Wilbur said sarcastically.

"Yeah yeah, cmon let's go play something else."

MiCHiES POV
Both of us were looking around for something to play, we did all sorts of games getting as many credits as possible to get the biggest prize and the prize counter. Then I saw it, the Mario and Sonic at the Tokyo Olympics game. I wanted to play it so badly! I looked over at Will who was playing a Wheel of Fortune game trying to get the jackpot.

"Wilbur! Look, Mario and Sonic Olympics game! Lets play, pleasee!" I said while pointing at the machine.

"Aww does Michie wanna play the Mario and Sonic game!" Wilbur said in a baby voice as a way of poking fun at my immature nature.

"Shut up, we're playing it i dont care!" I don't know where the confidence came from but I intertwined my hand with Wilburs and I quickly walked towards the machines.

We got to the machine and we swipped our cards and played, I chose Shadow and he chose Sonic, lame. We played 2 rounds and both times I won, im just that good. After we played we started getting hungry. He held my hand again as we walked to the food area. He grabbed my hand...shit. I knew my face was getting red but I just ignored it. Or tried to.

"What do you want Michie?" He asked me taking me out of my train of thought.

"Oh! Ill just have some chicken tenders. And a fruit punch, I don't really enjoy soda." I said

"You are such a child. I'll have that as well." He told me and then to the waitress.

"Bitch! Don't call me a child if you're getting it as well. Anyways, so we're going to talk about the song or what?" I said looking at him.

"I was actually just thinking about it! The name actually, you know how we both agreed on "I took it as a taunt" for the end of the first verse?" He said excitedly.

"Uh-huh." I said confused.

"Well, the name of the song can just be "Taunt", what do you think?" He asked me.

"I love it! We can worry about lyrics later but I just wanted to ask if you got any new ideas being here." I said smiling to the guy in front of me.

The waitress came back and handed us our food. We can tell she was silently judging us for our choices but we didn't care. It was some good ass food. Afterwards we made out way towards the prize counter and got matching Shadow plushies, a whole bunch of candy and Wilbur had enough to get a Nintendo 3DS which he gave to me. He's really nice. He makes it easy to fall for him.

"You didn't have to give me the 3DS." I said as we walked towards my car.

"Are you kidding you were totally eyeing it. Anyways I have no use for it, so you can have it!

I was kind of eyeing it but I didn't have enough for it, im good at arcade games, but not all that good.

"Thanks Will, Ill use this to vlog." I said jokingly.

We both laughed as we I drove towards his place to drop him off. Again, Wilbur took over the aux cord but played some of his personal songs, which are one of my favorite. I sang along with "Your New Boyfriend". It's honestly one of my favorite songs, cant wait to hear Lovejoys songs! We made it to Wilburs place.

"Bye Will I had fun today!" I said

"Bye Michie, I also had fun. We still have tickets leftover, let's go back again and recharge them!" He said as he stepped out of the car making his way towards his place. When I saw he made it in, I drove off smiling.
