A/N: This chapter will give you another start on the overall storyline as well as the date with Lewa and Gali!! Also…I have plans for the next chapter already! Stay tuned!
------WHEN THE RAIN FALLS
Chapter 4: DigitalKopaka shook off his jacket and put it in his locker. Last night had shaken him, sure, but not much. It was his nature. Do not be surprised. Expect the unexpected. Watch as the events unfold, and do something when required. He wasn't, shouldn't, couldn't be fazed by anything. Such was his nature…
Tahu, Pohatu, and Onua all grabbed their Algebra 1 books and headed for class. They ran in and sat down in their seats. After a 45-minute lecture on the Distributive property, they moved to separate classes.
At lunch, all six sat at the same, empty table.
Gali looked at the other five kids. They were all in the center of the table. No other kids sat there.
"This is weird," She finally said.
Everyone nodded. It was a strange lunch.
Finally, school ended, and everyone piled back on the bus. Gali sat down next to Lewa as he was digging through his backpack, and didn't notice.
When he looked up, he said, "Oh my g-! Gali, you scared me!"
"Sorry," she giggled. "So, are we still on for 4:00 today?"
"Of course!"
"Great! I can't wait."
The conversation turned to other topics and eventually they all got off of the bus and went to their different houses.
At 3:45, Lewa made sure his iPod was charged, threw a green sweater on, and ran out the door towards the arcade, called Electro-Play. Getting there, he charged his play card for 150 points, the most you could get for 10 dollars, and headed for the Time Crisis 3 machine. (A/N: Ok, if the point system is unrealistic, it's because I don't live near any arcades who use this system.) 5 minutes later, Gali came along with her card.
She held it up. "Ready to play?"
"As always!"
They swiped the cards and started shooting bad guys like heck.
"Lewa, help!" Gali called, as several gunners had her cornered.
Lewa shot several times at the screen to dispatch of Gali's pursuers.
"Thanks,"
"No prob,"
They moved from the Time Crisis machine to the Giant Trivia machine. It had eight seats, six of which were filled and about to start. Lewa and Gali took the last two and swiped the cards.
The lights spun as a person hit the "choose category" button. It landed on sports.
Which Kolhii player perfected the somersault maneuver?
Gali and Lewa smiled. The pushed "Takua."
They and 3 other people had gotten it right.
After that and a spirited game of RapidRiver, Gali spotted the Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA machine and hopped quickly over to it. "Yea! Let's play!"
"Ummm, ok!" Lewa said hesitantly. He was afraid of embarrassing himself. Not that he was bad, but that someone like him could be good at it.
They swiped and selected versus mode. Gali asked, "They have different song wheels sorted by difficulty. Which one?"
Lewa answered by switching the selection to "ALL MUSIC" and pressing the green select button. "It always makes it easy when you have it all."
"Too true…"
Gali changed the sort to alphabetical to make it easier, and went to the 'S' section. "Any requests?"
"Yeah," Lewa answered. "Sana Mollete Ne Ente."
She switched to that song, both on Standard. She pressed 'Select' and the music began. At a certain point in the song, Lewa realized a point about this song. He could do part of this backwards! (A/N: This is because I can do it! ;) ) When it came, he spun around and kept dancing, facing away from the screen.
Gali took a glace and was dumbfounded.
The song ended and she said, "Wow! That was really awesome!"
"I practice that song a lot," Lewa said sheepishly.
"Here, I'll pick the next one." Gali switched through letters until she got to 'H.' She scrolled until "HAPPY ANGEL" began pouring out of the speakers. "You game?" She asked, bumping herself up to heavy.
"Heck yeah!" he answered, doing the same. He was worried, however. This song was rated an 8-footer on heavy. Could they pass?
The steps began flying at fast speeds. The rhythms were complex and the arrows kept coming. About halfway in, Lewa dropped out. 15 seconds later, Gali followed.
"Dang," Lewa whispered, out of breath. "That's some song."
"Tell me about it."
They pulled themselves away from the arcade an hour later. It was now 6:00.
"I really had fun," Gali smiled. "We should do this again sometime!"
"Yeah…um…we really should." Lewa had to turn away to hide his burning blush. Gali giggled and gave him a quick kiss.
Lewa stood bolt upright and looked shocked. All color had drained from his face. Gali smiled a really big grin and began walking towards her home. "I'll see you tomorrow, Lewa!"
"Yeah!" he answered. "See you!"
In the darkening sky, Lewa smiled broadly and thought about that wonderful moment of his first kiss.
Ending Notes: AAAAWWWWWWWWW!!!! Aren't they so cute together? I thought about having Gali tripping on the DDR machine and falling on top of Lewa and then there is a really akward moment but I canned it because I figured it was too intimate…for now…
