After your shopping session with Aaron and spending time with the true fashion icon has been quite interesting. You tried your best to make his outfits a bit more modern and trendier, but you know Aaron he protested. You pass a laser tag arena on your way out "What is this?" Aaron asks, "It's a laser tag arena" You spare a slow glance at Aaron "Do you want to play?" You ask and a mischievous smile creeps across his face. 

You pay for some slushies and meet Aaron at a table. The next round starts in a few minutes. "What is this?" Aaron asks as you slide him a cup across the table. 'It's a slushie " You say taking a sip and Aaron mimics your action. You practically hear the angels sing in his head as he takes his first sip "This is amazing" he says. 

You are inside the dark neon lit arena, when you see Aaron dive out of nowhere to the ground and making a forward roll. He stands on his knees shooting kids with the lasers. After he shoots them, he runs up to you and stands very close to you, you can smell the other 5 Rasbery slushies he drank before you started in his breath. "I'm not actually killing all these toddlers, right?" he asks his eyes frantic in the dark. "What? No " you say laughing. He presses a finer to your mouth shushing you "Shhhh, he says. They are still out there". "What who". You hear footsteps approaching and Aaron pushes you into a wall hiding, you both look through a hollow in the wall. "These kids are tormenting me" he whispers "They are all after me and I can't get them dead in order to win" he whispers his voice husky. ''5 o' clock " Warner says and shoots a boy, his vest colour dies he throws his arms in the air and storms off. "Help me, won't you?" he asks. you nod without a doubt, Aaron takes your hand, you feel your heart drop he leads you through the dark by hand. His calloused hand is holding tight onto yours. "duck" he says, a laser fires, you leopard crawl with Aaron on the floor. He gets onto a platform; you follow him there. "The'll never find us here" he smiles, you see his cheeks dimple under the fluorescent lights. "There" he points to someone on the lower level, and you shoot. You fire your target and he high fives you. 

He walks down the platform and flags you down you run bending your knees. You shoot two more targets. A middle school boy runs and sees you both "I found them!" he shouts in a raspy voice making weird bird sounds and soon you are all surrounded by a circle of middle school boys. He aims his plastic gun at Aaron "Any last words?" he asks "Yeah" Warner says, "You lose " and he shoots the boy with his gun. "Ahhhhh DANG IT!" he shouts. "Game over" a mechanical voice says, and the lights turn on.  

You both walk out of the room along with the rest of the gang and laugh about everything that happened. You walk to the score board to look at your rankings, 1st place obviously says Aaron Warner. He smiles proud of himself "Aaron Warner?' another voice says, 'What like the book character?" You both turn around "You look an awful lot like Aaron Warner" another girl says, "I know right " You say and pull Aaron away from them "Why should my identity be a secret?" he asks, "Because people can't know who you are, parallel universe remember?"
