We the Game Babes (Amy Nelson POV)

     We came near Mark's house, still quiet. Mark tossed Tyler his keys as the brunet ran ahead to let the doggos outside. Eight people at once can be quite overwhelming for pups like Bubbles, Lucy, and Buddy. Once Tyler gave the all clear from the backyard, Mark opened the front door and we all entered.

     Two piles formed next to the door: one of shoes, and one of backpacks. Mark took one look at them and sighed. This happened a lot with us, and more often than not at Mark's house!

     Mark and Ethan went outside to get Tyler and the dogs as Marzia, Wiishu, Jack, Felix, and I made ourselves comfortable in the living room. Jack and Wiishu sat on the giant beanbag chair, together of course. (Just fangirling over here don't mind me!) Marzia sat in the cushy chair with Felix sitting at her feet, leaning against the chair. I sat on the arm of the couch, waiting for the boys before actually sitting down cuz there was a 340% chance of me having to move again!

     "Incoming!" Ethan yelled from the backdoor followed by the thunder of the furry trio running in. They dashed into the living room, scampering around wildly to greet everyone. 

     We all loved dogs here. Mark had grown up with these three, Ethan with two back in Maine, Jack with Gizmo in Ireland, Felix with Edgar in Sweden, and Marzia with Maya in Italy. Tyler, Wiishu, and I didn't exactly grow up with dogs of our own, but we grew up with other people's dogs, and I'd say that's a close second!

     Ethan and Tyler sat on the couch, Ethan turning so that his back leaned against Ty's shoulder, which Ty had no reaction or response to! Mark sat by where Ethan's feet resided on the couch and looked up at me, an adorable look in his eyes.

     "Come sit." He mumbled, patting the open spot next to him.

     "I'm good." I told him quietly.

     "No, c'mon, we've proven before that four people fit on this couch, and we still can, even with Ethan being an idiot." Mark insisted.

     "Huh?" Ethan grunted under his breath, looking up from his phone in confusion.

     "Fine..." I mused, sliding in next to him.

     "What do you guys wanna do?" Mark asked everyone. 

     "You're the host, man, you pick! It's not like we care!" Jack laughed. 

     "We go over this every time we come over, dude!" Ethan added with a giggle.

     "Fine-sorry for asking! Geez!" Mark said sassily. (A wild Sassiplier had appeared!) "I've already got Overwatch set up so I guess we can do that...who doesn't  wanna play Overwatch?"

     Tyler, Ethan, Marzia and I raised our hands.

     "Wiish, you play? I didn't know that!" Ethan mentioned with a chuckle. "Who's your main?"

     Wiishu shrugged. "I enjoy playing as Junkrat I guess." She said carefully, probably still readjusting to speaking English since she and her sisters spoke in Danish at their place, and she'd spent the entire summer in Denmark.

     I noticed Marzia lean down to whisper to Felix and he laughed. "Yeah, Tyler, do you ever really speak? I mean, I know you were just singing with us while ago, but..."

     Tyler stared at Felix for a solid 10 seconds, tense silence hanging over us all, before going "Sure." and turning back to his phone.

     "Aaaaand he's back!" Jack sighed. "Thanks a lot, Felix!"

     "What? Who's back?" Marzia asking in confusion.

     "Oh, you haven't met one-word Tyler?" Mark joked. "Lemme introduce you! One-word Tyler - Cutiepie, Cutiepie - One-word Tyler!" Mark gestured back and forth between them. Tyler glared at Mark as he did, smirking.
