Riko is dumbfounded and confused on how the hell Yoshiko convinced her to come over to her home as she stared at the TV screen while sitting in the middle of her bed. She was watching Mari getting her ass beat in a game of Smash Bros., just now losing another stock. She was down to one.

"Looks like Yohane will take the victory again!" Yoshiko exclaimed, with a giant smirk on her face. Riko looked at the screen. Her percent was pretty high, but all of her stocks were intact. "My power will guide me to the gateways of heaven!"

Riko just started at the screen, looking at the two characters fighting against each other at a rapid pace that she could barely keep up with. Then, she looked at a more relaxing view, eyeing both Mari and Yoshiko with their eyes glued to the screen as if their life depended on it.

In an instant, Riko could hear the announcer yell, "Game!", and waited for Bayonetta's victory theme to play in celebration of Yoshiko's win as she let herself fall into the mattress and sink into the sheets.

They at least smelled nice, like lavender, or maybe candy.

Instead, she can hear Palutena's laugh along with the victory track playing and the announcer stating the obvious. Riko looked up in disbelief. Mari had her fist in the air.

"Fuck yeah~!" She said in her odd English. Yoshiko grabbed her hair and tried to pull it out of her scalp.

"What the fuck?!" Yoshiko yelled, looking at the screen in absolute disbelief. "I had that game going for me!"

Mari laughed mischievously. Yoshiko took her hands out of her hair and instead grabbed Mari's shoulders, her nails digging into her clothes and skin.

"You damn spammer! Don't just spam counter!"

Mari stuck her tongue out at Yoshiko, who gave her an unnerving glare. She let go of her shoulders and instead grabbed her controller and threaten to hit Mari with it by holding it up in the air. Mari gave her one last smile before quickly jolting off the floor and out of Yoshiko's room, with Yoshiko herself immediately running behind her, screaming like a warrior about to give off a devastating blow to the enemy. The sound of things being bumped and crashing to the ground was heard soon after.

Riko stared at the open door. She got out her phone and quickly sent her mom a message that she might be arriving home later than usual.

Getting off the bed, Riko walked out of Yoshiko's room, ready to give them a punch in the gut or two.
