Now that the kids are a little bit older Savani is ten years old now, and Syven is nine. The kids made the decision to convince their parents to take them to the arcade with the help of their friends. Since their performance in school has been really good, they should enjoy themselves. Instead of going with everyone else, Syven chose to go over to Zion's house to hangout. To have some fun, their parents decided to take them all to the arcade together.


The Arcade

When they arrived at the arcade, the parents sat and spoke while the kids went off to have fun.


Savani: I'm glad we got our moms to bring us here.

Zarielle: Rightt i was so excited when they all said yes.

Amir: How could they turn us down?

Jaylen: (laughs) They couldn't, because we all do good in school.

Zarielle: Literally but let's go play some games.


They ran across the whole arcade while playing games together. With the majority of the games being played mostly competitively, but with lots of smiles and laughter.


Amir: Seriously how are you this good at basketball better than me?

Savani: (laughs) Maybe because you just suck at playing this, and I have had a lot of practice playing with my brother.

Amir: Wow that's cold but you know what basketball ain't really my sport so i'll let that slide.

Savani: (pats his back) It's okay just practice more.


Zarielle and Jaylen walk over.



Zarielle: Not my best friend beat you (laughs)

Jaylen: (laughs) That's crazy you let a girl beat you.

Amir: Shut up

Jaylen: I just won the race car game.

Zarielle: No you did not, it was a tie.


Savani and Amir laugh.


Jaylen: Whatever you say.


They all had gone out to eat with their moms after playing a lot of games, and shortly after everyone went home. Now, a few days have passed. Savani had been experiencing changes in her mood.


Savani's Room


While Savani lays on her bed, her head is down as her eyes are focused on her iPad. When it came to her room, she hadn't been completing her duties. Liv knocks on the door then opens it. As she looks down to see her room is a mess.


Liv: Why haven't you cleaned your room?

Savani: (shrugs her shoulders) I don't know

Liv: What do you mean you don't know?

Savani: (ignores her while still focusing on her ipad)

Liv: Savani James, get up and clean this room.

Savani: I'll do it later.

Liv: (sighs and grabs the ipad)

Savani: Why did you do that? I was doing something.
