50 Things To Do When You're Bored

Chapter 28: Go To An Arcade

A.N- So for some random reason, I am in a one shot mood. I have been writing bits and pieces of one shots here and there for different subjects. I think I might post a one shot for High School Musical since I did see the third movie. Which may I add was AMAZING! Anyways, I will be posting one shots so please check them out if they sound interesting to you!

Also, I have posted a Hunger Games one shot, so if you have read the book please check it out! I also encourage that you write fanfics for Hunger Games- It only has three so far and I think we should give it some more. If you do post one for The Hunger Games, tell me! I'll take a look at it and review!

Cullen Academy had an update earlier this week, so check it out if you didn't have a chance. If you know my two friends Leigh and Lindsay, they actually have an account on fanfiction. I made for them, but they aren't allowed on this website. So instead, they have asked me to post stuff that they wrote on it for them. I'll keep you updated on what they post. And believe me, they're good writers.

As much as I would love to shoot my siblings right now, I didn't. Weird. Emmett had dragged us to some arcade that he had found going off the highway and it was pretty big. And I mean huge! It was like three stories and had every single game imagined. Good thing for us we had money, but I don't know what you could get with the tickets. It was all junk right? So what was the point. I would rather use my money for clothes. Or shopping for that matter.

"Maybe you boys should just save up all of your tickets to get a TV or something. At least you will use it," Rose pointed out, looking up at a TV that was displayed on one of the prize shelves. "Or get one of those stupid hand held game things, that will keep you occupied."

"Awe Rose, don't be so upset. This place is fun! Look at all of the games you can play, and the prizes you can win! The more tickets you get, the better the prize. When you play well, you get more tickets. When I get an awesome prize, it just shows that I am better than all of you," Emmett exclaimed, pumping his fist up into the air. "Bells, you have to agree that it does look cool."

She looked at Emmett and then her eyes checked out the place. "Actually, I might have to agree with you on that one, Emmett. It actually looks like fun."

"See! Bella thinks that it looks like fun, so why won't you just play?" Emmett questioned. "Here, go and exchange it for change and play some games. Maybe if you're lucky, you'll save up to get something worth while." He shoved a ten dollar bill in my hand. "I already have mine, so I'm off."

Jasper and Edward followed him off. I guess they just wanted to make fun of him after he failed miserably at his first game. I laughed. "You two ready to actually get a better prize then them?" I asked.

Rose gave me a look and smirked. "Yeah, actually I think I am. I think we should go home with a brand new speaker for our IPod's shall we? I am pretty sure they will just love it when we blast our music."

We walked over to one of change machines and exchanged our bill. Rose, Bella and I each grabbed a handful of coins and headed over to a crane game. Inside there were teddy bears in the colors brown, black, and tan. "Hmm, you think I should try it?" Bella asked, inspecting the bears inside. These things were rigged, but with enough accuracy, you could get the prize wanted.

"Go ahead and try for it, there really isn't anything to lose," I replied. Rose and I placed our faces in front of the machine while Bella deposited two quarters to play the game. She used the controller to maneuver the crane to the tan bear close to the front. "Move it up a little."

She clicked the button that made the crane move down to grab it. It grabbed it but it shook when it came back up, it fell. I saw the disappointment in her eyes, but it quickly changed to determination. "Well, I kinda expected that. Stupid machine." She deposited two more coins to give it another shot.

"Hey, I'm going to go and check out something else okay?" I said, walking away from them to the middle of the arcade. Not that many people were actually here because it was some what a nice day out in Forks. It wasn't sunny, but it was a little higher than fifty degrees (Fahrenheit).

I walked over to another crane game, but this one held purses in it. It was COACH. Bags like these weren't really my taste, but it was better than nothing. I could always give it to a friend as a gift or something too. It was two dollars to play the game, so I gave it two dollars. The crane moved to the middle after the controller was in my hands.

Placed in the middle was a small purse that had little fishes on it. It was actually pretty cool and cute, so I decided to try for that one. I moved the crane so it was directly above the purse and calculated whether or not it would actually hold. It came down easily and grabbed over it. As it came up, it didn't fall. "Yes!" I grabbed the purse from the little door that says 'Collect Prizes Here'.

"Nice purse," Bella commented, wide eyed as I headed back to her and Rose. She had the tan bear nudged between her arms.

"Nice bear." I smiled. Rose also had something in her hands, another bear similar to Bella's. "I see you decided to get yourself one too?"

"Yep."

"Since each of us has something," I stated. "Shouldn't we go check on the guys to see what they're are up too? Who knows what they could be doing. We have to make sure they are actually keeping out of trouble."

Bella rolled her eyes. "I can just imagine..."

"I don't," Rose stated. "I can imagine it too many times, and now I have taught myself to see it as a surprise. You just kinda knew what they were up too, so I care not to think about them."

We rounded the corner towards the back of the arcade. There we saw Jasper and Edward playing some ski ball and Emmett sitting on a chair next to the games. Why is Emmett sitting? Wouldn't he be the one actually up and playing games. I looked around them.

There was a pile of tickets next to Edward and Jasper that kept growing every time they seemed to get the ball in the hundred point hole. Emmett tuned around to look at us, and in his hand were a bunch of small stuffed animals. Like cats, dogs, tigers, and what not, varying in shades of colors.

Rose turned from us to him and shook her head. "No, I don't want to know."
