Doctors Orders

Part 9 Ch. 2 - Stupid Decisions

D'va hassled Mercy to grab her things and come on.

"You two be safe." Jerry said.

"We will." D'va said, basically trying to push mercy out of the door.

They soon left, Jerry and Liu were left alone in the house.

"So, what did you guys do?" Jerry asked.

Liu shoot his head. "Shut up..." He sighed, picking up a controller.

"Any games you'd suggest?" Liu asks.

"I do actually." Jerry said.

He popped in a DVD and started up the 2-4 player plat-former game.

"This game is supposed to be super rage enduing." Jerry smiled.

"Oh, goodie." Liu said. "No better way to end a friendship other than this..."

There was a character selection screen. They were all the same model, just in different colors.

Jerry picked purple, and Liu picked blue. The first level started, they beat it easily, in fact, the first whole world was easy. World 4 is when they started to realize how hard the game was getting.

"Okay, Liu." Jerry said, setting down his controller. "Figure out a way to get through this level, I'm gonna to find us some snacks." He said, getting up and walking off to the kitchen.

Liu sat there, skimming through the level to find any clues, until he reached the point in which they were stuck at. Liu looked every closely, then face-palmed. It didn't take long for Jerry to come back with some spicy chips and soda the two enjoyed.

"Any luck?" Jerry asked, sitting back down.

"We weren't supposed to step on that pedestal together, or the door wouldn't open." Liu said.

Liu chuckled, followed by an out right laugh.

"After an hour off that, all we had to do was..." Jerry said.

"...have one stay off the pedestal." Liu finished.

Jerry paused the game, turning to Liu, and opening the big bag of chips and hand Liu a citrus drink, on of Liu's favorite types.

"Think its time for a break." Jerry said.

Liu looked at the drink, it was an old fashion kind, like something from 2021.

"You okay, Liu?" Jerry asked, taking a chip out of the bag.

"I remember when mom would buy me one of these when we went to the beach, or when she had some extra change in her pocket..." Liu said.

Jerry spoke with a reassuring voice. "Try not to think about it, Liu." He looked down. "We've all had losses in this war..."

Liu took a sip of this lemon-lime substance that brought back memories he wanted to think of without breaking into tears.

"I love this, its been at least 9 years since I've had one of these." Liu smiled.

Liu was doing his best to stay positive and enjoy his last night off with everybody. Liu sat criss-cross, taking a few chips. "So, how are you and Hana, how have you guys spent your 6 days off?

"Oh, you know, the usual." Jerry replied.

"The usual?" Liu asks.

"Just eat, sleep, game, the occasional date." Jerry replied. "Those are the nights I get lucky..." He smirked.

"Okay..." Liu said. "I'd like to remove myself from this conversation, I shouldn't have asked." Liu said.

Jerry chuckled. "Lets not forget you and Dr. Ziegler..." Jerry smiled.
