LYDIA DEETZ AND WRECK IT RALPH

Capítulo 6: Day off at the arcade

The next day, although the children wanted to get up early, the sheets were glued on and they only got up around eleven in the morning.

"It can't be, we got up late," Percy muttered to himself and then gently woke Lydia up.

"Percy, what's going on?" she tried to open her eyes, but she couldn't get it.

Percy insisted, and Lydia, seeing what time it was, got out of bed quickly, so the two boys rushed to get ready.

As they left their house they hurriedly met Mary.

"Good morning, boys. Where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Good morning Mary," said Lydia, " We' re going to the Video Central Station now that the arcade is closed, are you coming with us?"

"Thank you sweetheart, but I met the girls to play a game of cards, you guys go ahead and have fun."

The boys thanked the woman and took one of the strollers to the VCS. Before entering, they could see that the place was being crowded by a multitude of game characters.

"This is going to be great Lydia," said the cat boy excited and together with Lydia they entered the site.

To say that the place was crowded was not enough, the whole place was full of activity with PJ's and NPC's walking everywhere, this time it was Ryu who was like an avatar in the information cylinders, besides, they could see a big line to get lost objects in front of the information office.

The two boys were walking and Lydia was taking a photo or two when Percy noticed a game.

"That's Tapper's, let's go inside, Lydia!" Percy said, and the boys went inside.

"Welcome, oh dear, you are the two players who came into the real world," Tapper said with a smile.

"How do you know we came from the real world?" Percy asked.

"Well, I'm one of the oldest characters in the arcade, and we all saw the two of you when you showed up one night before you entered the game Fix it Felix junior," said the man with a gentle look.

"And why doesn't anyone recognize us?" Percy asked again.

"Because the arcade activity is always exhaustive, now that Sunday is here, everyone is only concerned about their own business and having fun... I'll be right back, guys," the man excused himself and went to hand out drinks to the arcade folks.

"Excuse me sir, how come all the arcade characters have the same 3D animation appearance?" Lydia asked once Tapper was back.

"Well, everyone in the arcade looks like that, but if you're out of the game you can just see the difference between old games like mine and Felix's, with more modern games like Street Fighter or Hero's Duty."

"Sir, do you know if the bad-anon meeting in Pac Man has started yet?" I wanted to know Lydia.

"Not yet, it's still early," the man told them and went out to tend the bar.

Lydia and Percy said goodbye to the man and toured the place, in one of the corridors they could see stylized pictures of several ancient arcade characters.

"There's Coily," Lydia pointed out to the monochromatic picture that was well cared for over time.

As they left the bar, the boys walked around the arcade trying to see a face known as Ralph's but unsuccessfully.
