Ophelia closes her door, dressed and ready for dinner. She wears a dark wine-colored dress with black hosiery to go with her black leather ankle boots. On Wednesdays, the small Mexican restaurant in town has half-off specials. So Aunt Azalea and Ophelia usually go out on Wednesdays and sometimes on Mondays for Margarita Monday where instead of paying $12 they pay $6. She walks to apartment 303, knocking thrice.

Jonathan opens the door, "Hey Ophelia, Mom is still getting ready." He leaves the door open as he walks away. She enters the apartment, shutting the door after her. Inside Jonathan sits on the couch with his Nintendo Switch hooked up to the TV. He's playing Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

"I thought you beat this already?" Ophelia sits beside him watching as he rides his horse around a meadow.

"I did, I just like the graphics." He signs out, opening up Smash Bros. "Wanna play?"

Immediately she snatches the other controller that rests on the coffee table. "Hell yeah." Ophelia selects Kirby as her character while Jonathan chooses Falco. The other players are Samus, Pit, and Ice Climbers. They do a round of teams and are in the middle of a match when Judy emerges from her bedroom.

"Sorry, sorry! Had to shower and get dressed." Neither person on the couch turn to look at her, intent on winning the game. "Ophelia, are you ready?"

"Just a sec..." Ophelia's Kirby swallows a sword and transforms. She starts slashing and double jumping, throwing out combos. She knocks off Jonathan who angrily breathes through his nose. "Now I'm ready." She smiles at Jonathan, saying goodbye, and walks to the door where Judy waits.

"You only won because you're a button masher!" He calls out, starting a new match.

"You lost because you suck!" She calls back, laughing at his outraged expression.

In the hallway, Judy locks the door and they head to the stairs. "I'm glad someone beat him, he always rubs it in my face that I can't ever win a game." She scoffs, hand on the metal railing. "Little jerk doesn't give my character the chance to stand up let alone land a hit."

"Gotta teach them young that they aren't the best player. My Aunt would kick my ass in Smash Bros growing up." Ophelia grins with a laugh. "Now I can give him a reality check. Pass on the lesson."

They laugh, continuing their conversation from earlier that day about Mr. Roger's choice of outfit today. He wore bright orange suspenders with a white button-down and orange checkered slacks. He was really repping the TN Volunteers.
