Melissa knocked harshly on Emma's apartment door, Charlotte right behind her. The door opened to reveal the barista in her sweatpants and a sports bra, hair a mess and expression showing clear signs that she had just woken up. "Emma, it's almost twelve in the afternoon."

"It's also a Sunday." They were given a sarcastic smile while Emma attempted to compose herself. "Sorry, sorry. Come in." She pushed the door open with her back, letting her friends enter the messy apartment.

"Listen, Emma," Melissa stormed into the dining room, pushing aside anything in her way to make room for a giant map she had pulled out, "we have to strategize." The map was rolled out on the space so all the girls could get a good view of it all.

The map was of a building, two stories tall, with a maze like structure. There were spots marked with sensors and nooks made for hiding. In red ink, it looked like Melissa had marked secret tunnels and entry ways. "Is this seriously a map of the laser tag arena?" Emma sat down to the left of the table.

"Yes, and us three need to plan out our every move. I've got walkie talkies," the devices were thrown onto the surface, "and matching all-black uniforms," three coordinated outfits were thrown from the bag. "All we need to do is figure out at least three plans."

Emma held back a laugh. "Why can't we just play the game?"

"Emma," Melissa gave her a very serious, determined look. "Let me tell you a story. When I was eight, I went laser tagging for the first time with my older brother and his friends. As the only girl there, I was petrified. In the laser tag arena, I got lost and stuck in a hole in the wall made for sneak attacks. They had to empty out the entire building, turn on all the lights, and have the entire party search for me. That was traumatizing, Em. I got bullied for that for five years. I vowed that day to never go into a laser tag game without the guarantee that I would be victorious. Are you in or out?"

Emma would've given an actual answer if it weren't for the fit of giggles Charlotte and her were in. She couldn't help but find Melissa's tragic backstory completely hilarious. Soon all three of the girls were in a pile of laughter. "Yes, yes, I'm in!"

Their first plan, Plan A, was the simplest of the three. They would each stay tucked in corners, guns pointed outwards. The black clothing would keep most of their beings hidden and the lights from their suits would look like regular lighting to the guys.

Plan B was a lot more complex. It would go into action once one or more of the girls became cornered. After signaling the walkie talkies, all three of them would run as fast as humanly possible, past anyone they had to in order to reach the stairs that lead to the upper level. The stairs had solid walls, so the only way anyone could shoot them from there was through the two ends. This would also cause traveling for the other team to become more difficult.

Plan C was the easiest of them all. If Plan B managed to not work out, it was each woman for themselves. If they needed backup they'd call for it. However, if worst came to worse, there was always the fire alarm.

"I think we're ready." Melissa sat back, going over their work. It all looked perfect. She was impressed. Charlotte was asleep on the couch, but she had helped with a lot of it, so the girls agreed that she deserved it.
