Ice: A Zane Roberts Fanfic

~Chapter Twelve~

"There's absolutely no way." "Yuh huh! I'm telling you Kirstin, video games makes people smarter!!" "Jay, that's just not true i'm pretty sure there's scientific proof that says you're wrong!" "And I'm sure science says I'm right!" Jay says putting his controller down and crossing his arms.

You originally were going to sit in the living room and watch Jay play video games. Until you two had to get into a debate on video games making someone smarter. You were absolutely convinced video games were a violent influence, had the ability to make someone lazy and addicted, and were just a simple waste of anyone's time.

Just then your father popped up on your screen vision. "Turn on your hologram now and this time when you do it, wink." he says. You get confused for a second then do as he says. Jay stops talking when you show your father in his hologram form. You wink, which let the projection appear on its own. "Oh that's new, I had no idea i could let the projection, project itself." you said and Jay grins.

"Hate to interrupt you two but, I have to agree with Mr. Walker over here Kirstin. Science does say video games makes a person stronger." your dad says and your mouth drops open as Jay cheers. "Haha first impression on your dad, I love him already!! Care to explain Mr. Brown?" he says and you roll your eyes.

"Gladly Jay! First off, too much of video games is bad-" "HA!" you said to Jay and he's the one who rolls his eyes. "But there is an increase of cognitive function when you play video games. There's a grey area in Memory skills, strategic planning, and fine motor skills of the hands." your father says and Jay goes back to cheering.

"But there's more, action games can increase attention to details in individuals and improvement to eyesight. Oh and most importantly, hand to eye coordination." your father finishes and you sigh in defeat. "HA! And one more thing to add to that! Computer games help you type faster!! Oh block craft, you have taught me well.."

"Alright, alright, thanks for rubbing it in my face you two. I was wrong, happy?" you said with a smile of defeat. "Woohoo! Holographic high five Kirstin's dad!" Jay said as he and your father high fived each other. Your father chuckles and gives you a holographic kiss on your cheek. "I love you my cherry blossom." "Yeah, yeah we'll talk later." you said with a chuckle as you make the hologram disappear.

"Your dad is awesome!" "Haha yeah, he is." "Anywho, wanna play an educational video game that I have with me?" he asks and you think on it for a minute. "Uh...sure, why not? I mean if it is educational I could learn something from it. What's it called?" Jay goes to put the game disk into the console then sits back down next to you on the couch as it loads. "GNA, Grand Ninja Auto." he says with a grin wide on his face as he hands you a console. "Jay! What's so educational about that?!" "Pfft! You learn to drive and a bunch of other awesome stuff!" "Ugh."

Jay left you in the living room about an hour ago since you didn't want to play video games anymore. But time with him was enjoyed. You stayed there on the couch reading one of your favorite fiction novels. The silence was nice, you weren't sure what the other ninja were up to but the quietness was enjoyable.

You suddenly felt tingling again when you saw Zane walk into the room. "There you are! I thought you were in the bridge." he says and you quickly put the book down slightly concerned. "Am i needed there?" you ask and he smile and shakes his head. "No, I just...wanted to be with you." Zane said, blushing if it could be visible on his titanium face.

"Oh, well here I am. Haha!" you say as you make room for him to sit down next to you on the couch. Zane sits down and gets comfortable. "You like to read?" he asks, seeing your book. "No, I love to read. It's my...escape, I guess I could say." You smile. "Interesting. I haven't read in awhile but I also do admire reading. What genres do you read?" "Well, I like them all. From Fiction to Non-fiction and the rest. But recently I find myself reading a lot of science fiction, romance, adventure novels, like this one right here."
