The Brunette plugged the final cord to the TV, she grabbed the controller to the PS4 and pressed the home screen. The system begun to flash a white light before anything could get on screen. She set up her Playstation Network account and paid for membership. She inserted the game into the console, there popped up the game, "The Last Of Us".

Her ocean blue eyes stared at the corpses of the dead, and the graphics that were put into the game. She got a notification, she pressed the home button. Clicked on notifications, you received a friend request.

She accepted the request, she went to the persons profile. They seemed like a nice person to talk too, the brunette decided to message them.

'Hi'

"Hello"

'How's your day?'

"Fine, you?"

'Great! Thanks for asking :)'

"Wanna join my party?"

'Sure'

A small chime was heard from the system, you received a party invitation. The brunette pressed the home button again, it showed the party name and the number of players in the party, just the person was in the voice chat. She pressed the 'Join Party' button and she quickly joined the voice chat. She quickly grabbed her headset and plugged it into the controller.

"Hello" a husky voice was heard through the headset, "Um...Hi" the brunette replied back hesitantly. "A shy one, aren't you?" The players voice exclaimed, "Very.." The brunette muttered, lowering her ocean blue eyes. "Well, what's your name?" The brunette asked, "Max," The player exclaimed "you?". "Sam" the brunette muttered. "Sam, what a great name" Max hummed, a small tint of pink plastered on the brunettes cheeks. "Anyway, what games do you have?" The player asked in a monotone voice. "'The Last Of Us' " Sam exclaimed "I just got my PS4 today so I don't have any games yet...". Their was a small moment of silence between the two players, until Max spoke "that's okay, I can explain you the basics if you want, and we can possibly play a match on 'The Last Of Us', if you want" his husky voice grew silent finishing his statement. The brunette smiled and nodded, it took her a moment to realize that the player couldn't see her, "Oh..Um..Sure" she mumbled.

After what seemed like hours of explanation, the brunette now knows the basics of console gaming. "So, how about that match?" Max blurted, "You're on, Max" the brunette opened the application containing 'The Last Of Us'. She watched through the intros and credits, to be showed the start screen, the graphics seemed realistic, it satisfied the female. She quickly pressed the 'Multiplayer' section with the D-pad. The screen turned dark, a text faded into the dark screen, 'Connecting With Server...', after moments of connecting she was greeted by many multiplayer options.

A small chime was heard from the Sony console. It was a notification, "Join my session in Last Of Us" The player exclaimed. The Brunette did as told, she pressed the home button, which sent her to a menu saying if she wants to join and what game it is. She quickly accepted the notification. The game took a moment to let her join in with her new friend.

For a few seconds the female was joined with her friend. "Do you know the controls?" Max questioned, "little..." Sam mutters. The players characters were then transported to the arena. The map was an abandoned downtown city. The brunette quickly explored the large map, many of the buildings contained large holes, and growing vines and other plant life on the roofing and walls. Many shattered statues and overflowing fountains. Other than that, most of the map contained plant life. It was a great scenery to look at, but she was always for a game with great graphics.

The brunette had completely forgot that she was in a Deathmatch. She checked through her characters weapons using the D-pad. Pistol...Shotgun...Health Kits...perfect. She selected the pistol, the pistol didn't have that much ammo left, she had to be precise on her kills. She checked the perimeter, she saw a red object in the distance. The brunette ran to the red object, it was a toolbox. The character quickly opened the toolbox, he gathered the objects. The brunette quickly his behind the silver truck, she checked her inventory by pressing on the touch pad. She can craft many things, health kits, smoke bombs, Molotov's, and shivs. The brunette crafted Molotov's, she heard rustling from ahead. She quickly pulled out her pistol, she could hear pattering of feet getting closer. She stood silent, she could see the character turning her corner, she took aim. Bam!bam!

The player fell to the ground, limp. Sam killed Max's player, a headshot too. "Well" Max blurted "I gotta go, good game, bye". "Bye" the brunette muttered. A small chime was heard, the following player has left the chat. Sams ocean orbs lowered as she exited the multiplayer game, playing the story mode.
