Time- Vance Hopper

Chapter 17

Once again soap2day will not load for me 😭 so uh I'll just write another cute date with Marie and him..

Arcade

Marie and Vance were in bed, watching some stupid horror movie that was absolutely horrible and boring.

"this is so boring." He groaned and threw his head back on the headboard.

She sighed "Agreed. What do you say... we go to the arcade?"

He perked up, smiling slightly and grinning.

"That's the best idea you've ever had." He said, standing up and pulling her up as well and quickly grabbing his jacket.

"Hey! Slow down dude!" She yelled at him, when he practically ran outside.

His shoes weren't even tied, he just walked and then he tripped as soon as he left the house. Marie sighed and helped him up as he slightly winced.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine-"

She sighed and got on her knees before he could, and quickly tied his shoes. (He would never admit he blushed)

"Okay, let's go." She smiled and got up, vance looked the other way and just nodded.

Robin was walking into the house, and he saw them.

"Hey, Rob....in." She glanced at his bloody knuckles.

"One minute Vance." And went towards Robin.

He groaned and followed her anyways.

"What is it Mari-"

"Who was it this time?" She sighed and opened the door. When he just stared at her in confusion, expecting another lecture, she ushered him into the house.

Vance followed behind and stayed at the door while they went to the bathroom.

"It was just Buzz and his stupid friends-"

"Those boys again? Man, they seriously have some issues."

"Yeah.. They were making fun of his sister, yet again."

"Cynthia?"

"Yeah.." he glanced the other way as she cleaned his hands, and then bandaged it.

"Well, I would say try to stay out of another fight but at this point that seems impossible."

"You know it is, sis."

"Yeah. Yeah, I know." She sighed and put the things away.

"Well, I am going to the arcade with Vance, if you see Cynthia how about... you tell her you love her already?"

"I don't!" He protested and huffed.

"Mhm, sure sure whatever you say Kiddo."

"I'm two years younger than you!"

"Oh well." She shrugged and ruffled his hair, he sighed in defeat and fixed it.

"Well, I'll see you later."

"See yo- Oh wait, are you still coming to the drive in with us today?"

"Hmm.. fine. With one exception."

"What?"

"Ask tío if vance can come today."

"What?!"

"Pleasee? Just ask."

He groaned "Fine. Pero no le cuentes sobre-"

(But don't tell him about-)

"Sí, sí, nunca lo he hecho."

(Yea yea, I never have.)

"Thanks. See you." He went into his room while vance waited impatiently.

"Finally!" 

"Yeah yeah whatever, come on." She laughed and smiled as he grinned widely and walked in front of her.

When they finally reached it, his eyes lit up. And Arcades were still relatively new in the 70's, only have been invented about 6/7 years earlier.

He immediately went to a pinball machine, putting the coins in and started playing while Marie watched him from the side.

After a while, they had eaten, talked for a while (not when he was playing because he was very focused and determined) they walked back to her uncles house.

"Hey, so i had a lot of fun tonight-" he started.

"Wait, save it. The nights not over yet." She smiled and he looked in confusion.

"Huh?"

"I asked my uncle if you could come with us to the drive in, y'know? It's a thing we usually do. And knowing him, he will say yes. I honestly don't think he's Said no before in his life."

He laughed, and in that moment he was happy.

"Alright then, I'll thank you after the movie."
