Hee, Tetris… Hee

ONWARD!
Saturday
finally rolled around, and Aimee couldn't be more excited for seven
thirty to come. She was totally ready to prove to Jak that she could
be good at video games too!
The girl sat at her kitchen table,
fingers drumming the wood loudly. She should really have cut those
nails… Her dark brown eyes kept glancing up at the clock, hoping
that it would suddenly spin to half past seven. It did not.
The
ringing of the phone sent the girl to her feet with a soft scream.
She stumbled to the counter and snatched up the cordless. Somehow she
managed to punch the 'talk' button and put it to her
ear.
"Hello?" she said, a little faster than she
intended. There was a chuckle on the other side of the phone.
Jak…
"Guten tag Frau Aimee. I vaz vondering vhen I vould
get to speak to you…" Jak said in his thick accent. Leave it
to little ole Aimee to befriend a German kid.
"H-hey Jak!"
she breathed. So much for never speaking to her again. "What's
happenin'?"
Another chuckle.
"Just vanted to varn
you about ze Tetris game. You can come over early too. Four instead
of sefen-zirty. I got my little bro out of ze house, so it'll be
just you, me and my mozer," Jak said. Aimee had no trouble
deciphering what her friend had said.
"Alright. Then in
about twenty minutes?"
"Ja."
"Okay. See
you soon Jak."
"Hokai. Bye."
Aimee hung up and
ran to grab her coat. Twenty minutes and counting till she bested the
Ruler of Games at a game! Yay for her!
Twenty minutes later
(well, actually, eighteen and a half, but whose counting, right?)
Aimee was seated next to her friend on his couch. Jak's white blond
hair seemed extremely light in contrast to Aimee's nearly black and
his pale blue eyes scared most people away.
"Alright zen,
lets get to ze game!" he said happily as he set a controller in
Aimee's hands. She tried to figure out how to hold it, and when she
did, she got a look of extreme concentration on her face. Jak
laughed.
"What?" she snapped. "I'm gonna figure
this all out and beat you!" she promised. He laughed
again.
"Ja, vhatever you say Frau Aimee. Now, lez start!"
he said as he hit the power button and placed the game where it
belonged.
Huge, colorful letters flashed across the screen.
TETRIS ULTIMATE 4000
X!
Then some important stuff that no one really cares about, and
then the start screen. Jak hit '2-player mode' and scrolled to
his name on the list. Aimee had some trouble figuring it out, but
eventually she got her name in and a profile started.
"So,
Jak, how's this work? Is it like all the other Tetris games?"
she asked. The boy shook his head.
"No. You haf to try and
vin with ze blocks I giff you. Good luck!" he said with a grin
as he hit 'start'.
Instantly Aimee found her first block
falling. Red line, easy pie. She put it in place promptly and waited
for the next. Square, perfect. Right L. Left L. Square. Line. This
was easy!
But not for long. Soon it got faster, and Jak was
enjoying giving her the most un-useful blocks he could. Soon she had
it backed up to nearly the top.
"Gah! Jak! No fair!"
she whined as the red letters of 'GAME OVER' slid down the
screen. The flaxen haired one laughed heartily.
"I win!"
"That's not fair! You cheated!" Aimee sniffed. Jak laughed again and worked at starting a new game.
"No complaining girly. Now you get to control ze blocks," he pointed out. This brightened Aimee up a bit and she eagerly awaited for Jak to hit the start button. As soon as he did she realized that she had no idea how to choose which blocks to send him.
"Uh, Jak?" she whispered. He was laughing loudly to himself as a bunch of plain line blocks fell onto the screen. He easily fit them into place, his score skyrocketing.
"Vhat's up Frau Aimee?" he chuckled. The girl bit her lip.
"How do I change the blocks?"
"Just start hitting ze buttons!"
Aimee did as she was told, and found that different blocks started falling. She shriek with delight and soon had it figured out.
"Gah! No! Not zat one!" Jak cried desperately. Aimee had managed to get his screen backed up and had sent him the least helpful block she could. Left L. A triumphant cheer rose in the room.
"Yes! I win!"
Jak slumped back against couch, huffing.
"Not quite. Ze score is one-one... Best two out of three!" he said as he picked up the controller again. Aimee grinned and got herself ready.
"Bring it on!"
Jak hit start and the blocks started to roll. Aimee put them into place, and soon had beaten Jak's previous winning time.
"How's that for two outta three?" she said with a smirk. Jak gapped at the screen.
"How'd... you... do zat?" he breathed. Aimee grinned.
"I'm just a genius."
Jak crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow at her.
"Oh really?"
"Yes."
"Another round?"
"You're on!"
FIN
I win, I wrote a Tetris fic... It sucks, but I'd like to see you do better than that! Heh, review for me!
