            "Akito! You have a visitor!" A woman shouted.

You could hear footsteps rushing towards the door. The doorknob turned as the door swung back. In front of you was a young man with short brown, spiky hair. He had freckles on his face, but what really caught your attention were his crystal blue eyes. He was wearing a boring red shirt and baggy blue pants with some ripped holes near the knees.

"H-Hey! I didn't know you were coming so soon. P-Please come in!" He moves to the side and gestures for you to enter his house.

You do so, looking around the place. It was a standard house with nothing extravagant going on. You could hear two distinct voices in different parts of the house. On your left you hear a woman's voice.

"Yeah don't worry about it, Akito has a friend over, so Kaede is free."

On your right, you could hear a younger woman, probably Akito's sister, shouting up a storm.

"Hell yeah! Take that raider scum! Ha ha!"

"That would be my sister, Kaede. She's playing Fallout 4 at the moment. The other voice was my Mom, Yukiko. Come on, I'll bring you to my room."

He grabs your arm and walks you to a corner of the house as you walk into his room. He closes the door and walks over to his bed and sits down, "I-I've never had a friend over before, is there something you want to do?"

You nodded and asked if he had the newly released Smash Brothers game. He nods, "Yeah, I think the cartridge is already in the switch. Wanna play a few matches?"

You nod looking for a place to sit. Akito pump's his arms and turns on his tv and switch. He hands you a controller and sits down on your left. You ask him if he's okay with playing for fun, or if he wants to do bets. He gulps.

"Y-You want to do bets? What do you have in mind?"

You ask him if there's dark purple nail polish, lip stick, or clothing in the house. He raises an eyebrow and nods. You tell him, that if you win, he has to do everything you ask of him to do for the remainder of the day, and maybe even a week. He gulps.

"I-I'll agree to it, but if I win, I'll have you do all of my homework for the rest of the month! It's, the only thing I could think of."

You think about it for a minute, then nod your head and balling up your fist. Akito cocks his head to the right. You say, "Fist Bump." Akito slaps himself in the face.

"Oh, duh. It's a deal then. You win, I do as you ask and keep the changes for a week. I win, you do my homework for the month." He bumps your fist with his.

You go to the select screen and pick Lucina. Akito goes over and selects Sonic. The two of you nod on the battle stats. Akito hits enter as the two of you get dropped into the arena and begin fighting one another.

"Damn you and your counter." Akito said, fully concentrating on the match.

His character goes off the screen as one stock is taken. Akito furrows his brow, fully in concentrating mode. You smirk and get cocky and knock out his last stock, winning the match. "Wow, I guess you won then."

You tell him you had fun and gave him his controller back. He turns the tv and switch off and sits in front of you, "So, what do you want to do?"

You ask him to grab the dark purple lipstick, nail polish, and clothes that are in the house. He gulps, "I have a feeling I know where this is going."
