Adopted By Game Grumps

Chapter 4 - Hanging With The Grumps

You stand in the doorway amazed by how many people immediately showed up. They were talking all at the same time and I couldn't focus on one's statement.

"Are you Sam, and is this Olivia?"

"I've heard so much about you!"

"How's your day been?"

"Are you actually Barry's daughter?" I couldn't answer one because they will just ask more.

"Hey! Give her some space! Just ask one by one." Dad said calming them down.

"Sorry." Everyone said in unison.

"It's alright." I replied with a smile. They smiled back.

"How about we let her unpack then talk later, huh?" Dad suggested as he led me and Olivia to a room that was big enough for the both of us.

I'm guessing we're gonna be sharing? It was a blue room with two beds, two desks, and two swivel chairs. This room looked pretty normal, but this was better than the orphanage. I was living a dream I never thought would happen.

We unpacked our stuff, and when I mean unpack, I mean put our bags down on our beds and went to the living room. When I got there, Mark ran up to the group of people we saw earlier. They all started to pet and scratch him as he laid on on his back on the floor.

I went up to them and they introduced themselves. I told them that I knew about their channel and that I'm kind of a fan and they didn't seem to mind. They showed us around the office where there were a lot of monitors on L-shaped desks. There were two desks facing each other with the same set-up like the others.

"This is where the magic happens, and when I mean magic I mean stupidity crammed in videos." Arin said as everyone nodded in agreement.

I was awestruck, this place was too cool. Olivia and I walked to the 2 desks we saw earlier.

"Since you're in the Grump Family, we thought that you guys should have a desk for fun." Arin said as he led Olivia and I to a desk.

"We heard you guys love to draw, so we got you drawing pads. This one's from Holly and I." Said Ross as he handed me a turquoise drawing pad. I thanked him and gave him a big hug. He hugged back and we pulled away.

"This one's for you, Olivia. Plus, I really like your hair. It reminds me of Danny's, but its dirty blonde." Arin said handing Olivia a purple drawing tablet. The look on her face was so admirable, I wanted to put it in a picture frame and keep it forever. She then jumped up and gave Arin a huge hug even though he was way taller than her. He hugged back and put her down.

We put our drawing pads on our desks as we continued looking around the Grump Space. We met two guys named Jack and Vernon, which were working so we didn't disturb them that much. If checking social media for hours is called working, then Vernon is doing his job.

-Time Skip Brought to You By Laziness-

After going around the Space we decided to play some video games. They let Olivia and I choose which game to play among the long shelves of video games and consoles.

"I don't know which one to pick. I never played video games before." I said looking at ever game and console. They all gasped in surprise.

"Omg we need to fix you quick! Barry, get the WiiU!" Ross said carrying me to the operation table, couch, and sits me up.

"As a Grump, you need to live video games. You need to SPEAK video games. We can't let someone in here who doesn't even know what gamers are. Hold this, it's called a Wii Remote." Ross said to me handing me a remote-looking controller. I looked around to find buttons on the front and back. I was examining this controller like it was a specimen from another planet.

"This is....interesting." I said.

"Yes. Yes it is. Now, we're playing Smash Bros. since you said that this was the first video game you got interested in." Dad said while the screen showed the title for the game.

"Okay...what do I do?" I said laughing awkwardly.

"Ok, so you press this to move. Press these buttons for attacking. The 1 button is for a special attack while the 2 button is for a normal attack. Is you wanna do a smash, press a move button and a attack button at the same time." I play smash on our WiiU, but I use a pro controller. I still know how to play with a Wii Remote though. Ross explained to me. I didn't really get it that much but I should try. I nodded to tell him I understood.

"Ok. You'll be playing against......hmm. Who wants to play against Sam?" Ross asked everyone. No one really raised their hand because they probably would kick my butt if they played against me.

"I volunteer as tribute!" Mark spoke up while everyone was laughing at the reference. If you don't know the reference....its from Hunger Games.

"Ok it's Sam versus Mark. Are you guys ready?" Danny said like an announcer of a boxing match.

"Ready!" Mark and I said in unison as we picked the same character--Captain Falcon. CAPTAIN FALCON IS MY BAE!!! I picked his original version while Mark choose the pink one. He just seemed like the coolest one in my opinion. Guessing by choosing the same guy, Mark seemed to agree with me. The screen showed a countdown.

"3...2...1...GO!" Everyone said as we started fighting. I didn't really know what to do besides run. I started to button mash and apparently hit Mark. I kept button mashing when a ball started floating across the screen.

"Get the smash ball Sam!" Everyone kept chanting so I went and punched it multiple times and absorbed it apparently.

"Go close him and hit 1!" Barry told me. Mark then tried to get away from me, but I caught up to him and hit the 1 button. It showed Captain Falcon getting in a race car-looking vehicle and hitting the other Captain Falcon which was Mark.

He was launched out of the screen and lost. It showed my Captain Falcon in first place while Mark's Captain Falcon was in second place clapping. Everyone then cheered my name.

"Good game, Mark." I said holding out my hand.

"That wasn't bad for someone who never played Smash before." Mark said to me shaking my hand. I never felt this praised in a very long time. I forgot how it felt--it felt amazing.

hOI! It's me again! How did you like chapter 4? Was it good? Was it bad? Please tell me. I know this took a long time to write, but I've been busy doing school stuff. Thanks you for patience with me. Also, thanks for 188 reads! It really means a lot to me. Hope you guys have a wonderful day/night and I will see you guys in the next one!

~Buh-bye!~
