Hello readers. Thanks you all for your favorites, follows, and reviews! And since so many of you wanted Nicky and Ahk play video games, that's what I did. Though I haven't played Mario Kart in such a long time I probably got a lot of it wrong. XD
Chapter 11 Video Games:
"What should we do tonight?"
"I brought video games."
"video games?"
"Yep, come on." The young boy bounded off starting to go to the security office the young pharaoh following behind him. When they got there Nicky went over to his backpack pulled out a Wii console, and a few video games. He went to the tv and started hooking up the Wii while Ahkmenrah studied the games.
"There, all ready to go." Nicky announced, and returned to where the older teen was sitting.
"What game should we play?" Ahk asked him. Nicky looked at the video games in the pharaoh's hand.
"Mario Kart, its pretty easy and it will be good for your first ever video game." Ahkmenrah nodded and handed over the game and Nicky went to put it in. After the game was starting he dug around in his backpack and pulled out two controllers. He flopped down onto the couch and handed a controller to Ahkmenrah, who took it and stared at it. The character screen came up and Nicky chose to play as Donkey Kong.
"Chose a character." He instructed Ahkmenrah, who nodded his head. "Use the cross button to move between characters and press A to choose." Ahk nodded his head again and selected a character.
"Toad? Are you sure you want to play as him?"
"Yes, he reminds me of a shabti."
"A what?"
"Never mind."
"Okay… select a car or a motorcycle now." Once their vehicles were selected, Nicky had to choose a race course. He decided to do Mushroom Gorge as it was pretty easy so he could teach Ahkmenrah how to play. "To start the car press 2 and tilt the controller to make it turn." Ahk nodded his head and pressed down the button labeled 2. A count down from three started and after it hit zero all the cars and motorcycles started, except for the pharaoh's, whos car appeared to have black smoke coming out of it.
"Ummm I think I broke it….." Nicky laughed.
"You didn't break it, that always happens when you hold down 2 before the race starts. Probably should have warned you about that…. Your car should work now though."
"Oh." He pressed down button 2 again, and this time the car started moving forward. Though he didn't get very far as he accidently drove over a ledge. "Now what?"
"Your character will be put back where you last were." Nicky explained and as he said that Toad reappeared on the track. Ahk continued the game being more careful as to not fall off anything else.
"Should I avoid those cubes?" He asked seeing the multi colored cubes that hovered over the course.
"No those help you win." Nicky explained, so Ahk drove through one of the cubes. At the top left of the screen it looked like a dice was spinning and then it stopped on a weird looking black rocket.
"What do I do now?"
"Hit the B button on the back." Ahk turned over his controller to look, he found the button and pressed it. On the screen Toad disappeared and was replaced by the black rocket, Ahk glanced between the tv and his controller as the rocket moved on its own.
"Ummm Nicky?"
"its supposed to do that. The rocket is to catch up to all of the other racers."
"Oh." On the screen he could see the other racers ahead of him and the rocket disappeared. He resumed driving. At the end of the race Nicky was first, and Ahk ended up in eleventh, as at the last second Peach had hit a banana and spun out.
"Well you didn't come in last, which honestly I thought you would." Nicky said happily.
"Gee thanks…." Ahk rolled his eyes. Nicky had to pick the next race, he looked through the easy races, but then he got an idea. He smirked and chose Rainbow Road. The race came on and Ahk's eyes widened.
"Why would you do this to me?" Nicky started laughing. Ahk managed not to stall his car at the start this time, but he didn't get very far before he fell off the course. "This just isn't fair…." By the time the race ended Ahk was still on the first lap and barely half way through the course. "Never again."
"Okay." Nicky laughed. He heard the door open and he looked over to see who it was.
"Ahk the tigress followed you!" He groaned.
"Her name is Sekhmet." Ahk responded petting the tigress's head.
"You've named her?" Nicky asked indignantly.
"Yes. She always follows me around when you're not here, so I thought she needed a name." Ahkmenrah explained. Sekhmet seemed to nod her head and laid down at the young pharaoh's feet.
"Okay….. anyway, next race." Nicky said pressing A.
"Is this race easier?"
"Yeah it is."
"Good." The race did end up being easier as Ahkmenrah managed to get in tenth place, and Nicky ended up in second place as near the end of the third lap he was hit with a blue shell.
"Nooo, that's not fair!"
"Now you know how I felt."
"But that was different! I was so close to winning!" Nicky exclaimed and dropped the controller onto his lap. Sekhmet looked up at him and before he could react she had taken his controller. "Hey give that back!" He said reaching for his controller, she pulled her head away so he couldn't reach. He turned to the laughing pharaoh. "Ahk make her give it back!" He whined.
I just couldn't resist putting the tigress back in, and naming her after a cat goddess. ^-^ Please leave a review in the box below.
