"Hey, Blaze, check this out!" AJ cried out as he ran into his best friend's room to find it empty. "Hey, where'd he go?"
"He took Sparkle out to the dentist because of her loose tooth," Crusher said, driving into the room.
"Oh," AJ sighed.
"So, what'd you wanna show him?" Crusher asked.
"Well, there's this new video game out in the store," AJ said, taking out his pad to show the advertisement. "And I wanted us to get one of the first ones before they ran out,"
"Well... why don't we go down there and surprise him with a copy?" Crusher suggested.
"Really?" AJ's eyes lit up. "You'd take me?"
"Sure!"
"Yay!" AJ cheered.

"Woah, so this is store for video games?" Crusher gasped as they entered the crowded place.
"Yep!" AJ nodded. "It has every video game you'd imagine! Even Blaze's 'Dragon Rescue' game!"
"Alright, let's search for that new video game," Crusher suggested, and they zoomed through the crowd to search.
After a while, AJ managed to find it on one of the shelves.
"I found it!"
He was just about to run to it when a tire suddenly blocked his path, causing him to stop and accidentally stumble. The truck connecting to the tire laughed mockingly as Crusher drove over to him.
"Hey! Leave him alone!"
"Oops, sorry," the truck snickered. "But too bad, so sad, human, because this video games is for TRUCKS, not lame humans like you,"
"Leave AJ alone!" Crusher snapped, stepping in front of AJ.
"Says you, Mr. Failed abortion," the truck cackled. "No wonder you two had to be adopted. You two are just as pathetic,"
"Hey! Leave us BOTH alone," AJ huffed, getting up. "And that video game isn't just for trucks,"
"Psh, do you see any other human trying to get it then, kid?" the truck challenged.
"No…"
"Then you see what I mean," the truck scoffed and turned to get the game.
Crusher growled. No way was he going to let some jerk mess with HIS little brother like this.
"Oh NO you don't." he zipped over swiped the new game before the truck could get it.
"Hey!"
"Sorry, but jerks like you don't DESERVE this," Crusher huffed and turned away. "Come on, AJ,"
AJ nodded and ran after him. As soon as they were at the cashier, he gave the dark blue truck a smile.
"Thanks," he said. "but you didn't need to do that,"
"I had to," Crusher smiled back down at him. "You're... my little brother,"
AJ blinked up at him before hugging him. Crusher was caught off-guard by the hug but returned it anyway before picking up the kid with his tire and moving forward on the line.

"Hey, guys, we're back!" Blaze entered the house with Sparkle to find it empty.
"Hey... where is everyone?" Sparkle asked.
"Hey, you two!" The duo turned to see AJ enter with Crusher. "How is the dentist?"
"Awesome!" Sparkle giggled, showing off her tooth. "I'm going to put it under my bed for the Tooth-Truck Fairy tonight!"
"But where did YOU two head off to?" Blaze asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well..." AJ grinned. "We went out and got a surprise for you. Ta da!"
He showed off the new video game they bought. Blaze gasped.
"The new game! You got it!"
"Crusher took me to get it!" AJ beamed. "Let's get it out and start playing!"
"Yeah!" Blaze cheered before they all zoomed to his room to play.

"Kids, I'm home!" Phoenix called out as she entered the house. "Now where did those four go?"
Suddenly, laughter came from Blaze's room, and Phoenix drove over to see the four of them playing the new video game.
She chuckled. "Having fun?"
"Mom!" the four turned to her with a beam.
"Oh you four," Phoenix laughed. "Finish up for dinner, alright?"
"Yes, Mom," they nodded.
"Good," Phoenix grinned and turned to leave to start cooking, smiling at the sound of the four of them going back to their game.
