Advance Wars Drabbles
Ch.11: Not So Max 300
By Hiro Konobu
"I know you're reading this so you could at least be nice and at least leave some reviews, besides this chapter wouldn't be here if you weren't reading it. I still own nothing by the way, and I don't own any DDR arcade games, also I only a certain computer modem that I will probably destroy with a baseball bat if I ever get a new one."
(We see Max and Nell walking and talking about something at Orange Star HQ)
"So I hear you spent some money on getting some actual video games for the Orange Star recreation room Orange Star haven't you, Nell?" Max said
"Yes I have, actually I was just lucky enough find 15 arcade machines on a roadside while driving a Megatank down the road to add to the recreation room…by the way one of them was DDR Extreme." Nell said
"…So Nell why would need a Megatank just to drive around…no offense I'd expect Sasha or Colin to drive around in one of them. Max said while thinking about why Nell would be just driving in a Megatank before he crashes into a wall trying to do so
Max I bet that's got to hurt doesn't it? Nell said looking a little obvious when she did
"Thank you miss captain obvious did you really need to comment on my mistake?" Max said while rubbing his head
"Why yes I did Max, big strong people really shouldn't try to think to hard." Nell said while trying to be blunt.
"Look let's just go inside the room and see what's going on." Max said as he and Nell entered the rec room.
"Note those new machines lying about? There the new arcade machines added to the bases rec room." Nell said pointing to each one.
"So I see you got a lot of them…oh wait I was being obvious…" Max said stopping himself before he could make anymore-wording errors.
"Yeah but our biggest draw right now is that DDR machine Andy and Sonja are playing right now." Nell says as the fic pans out to see Andy and Sonja playing Long Train Running on it…and since this site doesn't allow actual lyrics from the song…I'll skip to the end of it.
"So Sonja like our new video games in here?" Andy said while selecting another song on the machine.
"Yes but why did we have to get that bastardized version of DDR…what was it called, oh yeah it was Pump It Up." Sonja said while she let Andy their third song. (Note: While Max walked himself to a wall Andy and Sonja did their first song.)
"How do you feel about Spin The Disc Sonja?" Andy said as he asked Sonja if it was ok with her to do said song.
"Sure I'm fine with the song even if there's a two-in-one gag reference." Sonja said as we pan back to Max and Nell.
"Well I see that Andy and Sonja have played this game before…besides they're on Heavy." Max said
"You know we should go up there next and show what a DDR song is all about!" Nell said.
"Let me guess Catherine…it's going to be Sakura?" Max said before Nell hits him.
"Two things, one you will not call me by my possible European/Japanese name, and two were doing MAX 300 on Heavy." Nell said.
"Ok well good luck…" Max said while trying to get out of the general vicinity of Nell
"Oh no you're playing too even if you don't know how…" Nell said while grabbing Max to force him to play DDR with her and Nell selects the first song, which was surprisingly Burning The Floor after those lines mentioned much earlier, and again since I can't use real lyrics...we skip again to Andy and Sonja both who are sitting and drinking some water after their DDR.
"You know I never knew you were good at DDR Sonja." Andy said while taking a drink.
"Same goes for you Andy, I didn't know you could play that game so well.
"Yeah whenever I'm not acting stupid or working on various machines…I like to play DDR…and try to steal Nell's clothes for Sami." Andy said while Sonja was left somewhat speechless to what Andy said.
"Right…though can't say the same for Max's DDR skills I mean when compared to Nell he sucks…write that down." Sonja said after recovering from the shock of what Andy said while noticing Max and Nell playing DDR.
"See Max playing DDR is fun." Nell said somewhat sarcastically to Max.
"For you it is, DDR isn't grand to a guy of my stature." Max said to Nell.
"Look I'll let you choose the next song and after someone else can come up and play if you're feeling emo like most of the Green Earth army." Nell said while preparing for the next song.
"Ok then I'll pick this one" Max said not knowing he picked MAX 300.
"Max! You fool! You picked one of the hardest songs in the game…why did you do it." Nell said reacting to Max's folly.
"Well…uh…it had my name in it…" Max said trying to not mimic Andy in any way.
"Well you're screwed now…oh crap I forgot to take of the x3 mod." Nell said as she noticed that when the song started, now twenty seconds later a screen showed a failed and game over sign popped up.
"You know Andy I guess this proves that Nell isn't all that lucky in every aspect of her life." Sonja said.
"What's luck got to do with anything Sonja? I thought you said it didn't have anything to do with that an hour ago." Andy said to his friend.
"No I was actually referring to Max, look." Sonja said as we see Max getting chased out of the rec room by Nell, all because she thinks he gave her bad luck.
"Look I didn't give you any type of bad luck." Max says as he tries to avoid Nell.
"Oh I think you did! I normally can at least get an a on MAX 300 so you gave me bad luck." Nell said to Max while chasing him and throwing objects at him.
"What's luck got to…" Max said before he gets hit with an infantry helmet from Nell.
Nothing my dear Max nothing…I think what I have planned for you ruining my luck should fit the bill. Nell said when she caught up to Max.
(Well no physical record was told after this incident, though I hear that Nell, and Max went to a certain spring place…)
End Ch.11
"I think most people will get the spring joke…"
