Time Left Ticking

This week part 3

Marinette walked into Adrien's room and looked around with amazement plastering her face. She saw a video game area, a wooden cabinet that had movies, board games and cards in it, a TV with a couch sitting behind it, and a climbing wall to the right of it. Adrien looked at her and smiled at how cute she looked. He looked away before Marinette could notice he was staring at her and headed off to the couch that had a coffee table in front of it.

"Hey, are you going to keep on staring off into space or come over here and help me get this project done?" Adrien asked Marinette. Pulling out of her trance she blinked a couple of times and looked over at him glaring because she was caught fawning over his bedroom.

Great, now he's gonna let this go to his head and start bugging me about it. She thought as she walked over to the couch and sat down. Laying her stuff on the coffee table she picked up her phone and checked her notifications to see what was going on with her parents and Alya's blog. laying her phone down on the coffee table she looked over at Adrien.

"So are you ready to get started?" Marinette asked.

"Yeah, so let's take a look at the internet and see if anything pops up," Adrien said opening the computer and looking up the Statue of Liberty. Clicking on a website about the history of important statues and sculptures there was a paragraph explaining the origin of the statue. Not really anything different from what they were taught about it in the past. Scrolling down further Him and Marinette saw a description of the statue size and how it is put together.

"This is ok." Marinette said peering over Adrien's shoulder." I was hoping to find more information on who came up with the idea and the discussion of it, you know what I mean?"

"Yeah, but this is only the first website we have seen so far," Adrien said looking over his shoulder at her. 

"What if you looked up '"The origin of the Statue of Liberty" instead. I think that might get us more answers." She said looking back at him.

"Great idea m'lady!" He commented turning back towards the computer and clicking the search bar.

About an hour or two later they felt they had enough information to be able to write the essay report they had to turn in at the end of the week. With yet another discussion of who does what they decided that Marinette would make the sculpture and Adrien would write the essay, they needed to turn in.

"Hey, do you wanna play a video game?" Adrien asked standing up and heading over to the Cabinet full of games. Marinette immediately turned towards him with a glint of mischievous in her eyes.

"YES!" She squeaked. "But I have to warn you that I win, Every.Single.Time." She exclaimed walking over to check out what video games were available to play.

"Oh really now?" He said eyeing her " Yeah, no. I'm better than you." He said not believing a word she said.

"Fine then, I commence a competition." She said stomping her right foot down and curling her hand in a fist and punching it in the air. "The winner gets to... I don't have any ideas, you?" Marinette asked. Adrien thought for a moment and then he as well had a childish grin on his face. 

"If I win you have to call me "Kitty" for a full three days, but if you win I can't make any cat jokes, and I have to call you by your name for three days," Adrien said. Marinette gave it some thought and it would be nice for him not to make any annoying comments, but she didn't want end up having to call him "Kitty" for the next three days. Then again it wasn't that bad of a deal, she had more of the upper hand in her opinion.

"Alright, deal!" They shook hands and from there on out, they started their competition. 

RULES: No cheating, each round will have three runs, best out of three wins, you must start on level one with the characters you use.  If you cheat, it's an automatic win for the other player.

Round 1, run 1

Marinette chooses Luigi as her character and the car with big boosters in the back, and Adrien chose Mario as his character and the car that was a baby carriage.  

READY! SET! GO! The screen counted down as Marinette and Adrien got into a comfortable position. Taking off Marinette got the lead as they went around the corner leaving Adrien just a few feet behind. "Aw crap," Adrien thought. Turning another corner there are some bouncy mushrooms and Adrien takes the shortcut and just barely leaves Marinette behind. Marinette gripped the wheel the controller harder as he passed and made a mental note that there was a shortcut there the next time they came.

"Are you kidding me!" Marinette said Adrien, glanced over to see her facial expression just for the fun of it as he passed her again with a different shortcut on the map. he smirked thinking he was gonna win the match right when Marinette used her misle and just her luck she hit Adrien in the back right before he was gonna cross the line. Passing him as he spun around in his baby carriage, and she crossed the finish line.

"Haha, sucker!" Marinette cheered.

"You little," Adrien said as he stood up and walked slowly towards her and started speeding up. He started chasing her around his room trying to catch her. He stopped running to catch his breath so Marinette turned around and stuck her tongue out at him while walking backward and tripped over the couch. Adrian burst out laughing, hunching over as marinette positioned herself on couch.

"No more tricks for you," Adrien said,

"Its not fair if you still get to use tricks and I don't." Marinette argued

"Yeah, I but you but your hit me just before I was gonna win, so it is."

"No, that's just how you win," Marinette argued." Let's just get started on the next one."

Picking up her controller she started the next run of Mario Kart. The next two runs Marinette won one and then Adrien won the last.

Round 2, game: Call of duty Black ops 2

Getting on the Xbox 360 they get their guns, skins on their guns, and little robot deals ready.

Run one went to Marinette ran as she black scoped Adrien jumping off the window sill of the purple house. Run two went to Adrien when jumped out of the blue bus and headshot Marinette with his shotgun. Run three also went to Adrien when he shot Marinette as she was coming out from behind the red car trying to surprise attack him.

"Haha sucker" Adrien shoved his win in her face.

"Hey were not done yet." She said ready kick his but in the next game. Knowing fully well that she would win she smirked at she went the game SPEED RUNNER. Now many of you may not know of this game but to sum it up it's a race game.

Final round, run 1

Marinette and Adrien watched as the screen once again counted down from 3
2
1
They each took off passing the boost, Adrien used it instantly, while Marinette stocked up to use for an emergency. Not to long after they started instant death appeared on the screen. Instant death is where the screen just keeps getting smaller and smaller until someone dies. Marinette speeded ahead with the boost she stocked up on,  just when the screen was small enough and killed Adrien...

"Again! Come on Marinette can't you have some mercy." The boy sighed.

"Hmm... No I think that you not calling me anything for a while would be much better" She stated.

"I have to disagree princess."
