Sela entered in the arcade and looked around for Yamato and Amu when she saw them by the ticket booth. She immediately hide behind one of the game machine when she saw Yamato and Amu turned her way.

This is actually the first time, she sees Yamato in person. He looked like the picture that she had of him.

She really wants to go over there and tell him the truth, but hesitate because she was worried about how he would react if she told him now.

"This way," She heard Yamato said to Amu as he guided her away to an area.

Sela followed them and saw them standing at the air hockey table.

Amu touched the surface of the air hockey table and looked up at Yamato. "You really want to play this?"

"If you're up to the challenge, that is," He smirked and folded his arms. "If you don't want to play, it's fine".

"No, no," Amu smiled. "I'm definitely up to a challenge." She folded her arms. "I tell you what, if I win, I'll choose the next game we play. How does that sound?" She extended her hand out.

"Sound good," He shook Amu's hand. "Deal," He agreed

Yamato and Amu grabbed the Air hockey strikers and stood face to face on each side of the Air Hockey Table, ready to play.

"Are you ready?" Yamato leaned forward, aiming his Air hockey strike at the puck.

Amu nodded and Yamato strikes the puck, sending it swiftly at Amu, who barely blocked it with her Air Hockey Strike.

"Whoa!" She exclaimed as she blocked the puck and pushed it back at Yamato. "That was close," She muttered to herself about Yamato almost scoring a point.

Yamato laughed. "I thought you say you were ready". He blocked the puck and pushed it toward the goal to score.

"And I stand by my words," She blocked the puck from reaching the goal and smirked. "Nice try".

"Not bad at all," Yamato commented at Amu's fast pace to blocked the puck.

Sitting near a video gaming machine was Tusk, who was watching the whole thing, while playing the game from the video gaming machine. Every few minute, he would glance from behind the video gaming machine and stared at Yamato and Amu.

He can't help but feel a bit jealous that Yamato was having fun with Amu. He wished he had told the truth sooner and that he would be the one having fun with Amu.

He tightened his grip on the game controller and took out his frustration on the game.

Sela, who was now standing beside the claw crane game machine, was watching Yamato and Amu with a sad expression on her face.

She was happy that Amu was having fun with Yamato, but sad that it wasn't herself that's with Yamato.

If she had went with Leo's idea, confessing the whole thing in the first place, then she wouldn't have to dragged Amu in this mess and everything would have been good.
