"Cool!" I grin, "So we should hit the arcade, then?"

Subject: Re: Red Mango. Sat Sep 24, 2011 1:14 pm

"Sure!" I smiled and started walking.

Subject: Re: Red Mango. Sat Sep 24, 2011 1:39 pm

I followed him.

*LE ARCADEE*
I changed 20 dollars for change and give half to Murphy.

Subject: Re: Red Mango. Sat Sep 24, 2011 2:18 pm

I (reluctantly) accept the change, and start to browse the arcade.

Subject: Re: Red Mango. Sat Sep 24, 2011 2:22 pm

I look at the teenagers holding tons of tickets, "This place is like Vegas for children" I smile.

Subject: Re: Red Mango. Sat Sep 24, 2011 2:25 pm

I laugh, "Yeah. Vegas with shitty payoff. At least it's something, though. Kind of teaching kids that's how gambling works... Maybe Arcades work with the Casinos?" I suggest.

"Maybe. It's not impossible. They're probably paying for some war."

Subject: Re: Red Mango. Sat Sep 24, 2011 2:41 pm

"We should become conspiracy theorists..." I say, giggling stupidly a little.

Subject: Re: Red Mango. Sat Sep 24, 2011 5:49 pm

I laugh. "Yes, yes we should. We could change the world!"

Subject: Re: Red Mango. Sat Sep 24, 2011 5:51 pm

"And then get arrested because we're right? Fuck yeah!" I grin.

Subject: Re: Red Mango. Sat Sep 24, 2011 5:54 pm

"We'll have enough followers to bail us out." I say, smirking.

Subject: Re: Red Mango. Sat Sep 24, 2011 5:56 pm

"It's only because you're in a band!" I point out. "We should head back soon, shouldn't we?" I asked, realizing I was out of money, with a good sized stack of tickets.

Subject: Re: Red Mango. Sat Sep 24, 2011 6:00 pm

"Yeah, I think so. We should trade in our tickets first."

Subject: Re: Red Mango. Sat Sep 24, 2011 6:01 pm

"Oh, yeah," I say. "I usually just give mine away, to be honest."

Subject: Re: Red Mango. Sat Sep 24, 2011 6:09 pm

"I always get a bunch of random shit I lose later. But, don't most people?"

Subject: Re: Red Mango. Sat Sep 24, 2011 6:12 pm

"Yeah, none of it's ever worth the hours spent trying to get it, right?" I bite my lip. I was always scared I'd say the worst thing.

Subject: Re: Red Mango. Sat Sep 24, 2011 6:19 pm

"Eh, it's fun most of the time, but you're right... Can I have your ticket's then?" Mikey. Why. Did. You. Ask. That?

Subject: Re: Red Mango. Sat Sep 24, 2011 6:20 pm

"Oh, uh, sure," I say. I was super fucking confused.

Subject: Re: Red Mango. Sat Sep 24, 2011 6:36 pm

"Thanks." I walk to the prize booth and buy the biggest bear I could afford, which wasn't very big, and walk back to Murphy and hand it to her, blushing.

Subject: Re: Red Mango. Sat Sep 24, 2011 6:38 pm

As Mikey hands me the bear, I was almost speechless. "Th-Thank you," I said quietly. Without thinking, I hugged him.

Subject: Re: Red Mango. Sat Sep 24, 2011 6:41 pm

I hug her back and grin. "You're welcome. I didn't want to waste the tickets on shit, and I also wanted to give you something to remind you of this day..." I trailed off, mentally facepalming at myself for rambling.

Subject: Re: Red Mango. Sat Sep 24, 2011 6:42 pm

"Mikey, I love it, thank you so much," I say genuinely. I had this huge, stupid, grin.

Subject: Re: Red Mango. Sat Sep 24, 2011 6:48 pm

"I'm glad!" I say and grab her hand.

Subject: Re: Red Mango. Sat Sep 24, 2011 6:54 pm

I still have that stupid smile as he holds my hand.
