Moment3: Video Game Delight

Bzzzzzzzt!

Zoom! Zap!

Blip! Blip! Blip! Boom!

"Aw man! I thought I had you that time Sprks! No fair!" Otto pouted suddenly as he watched Sprks smirked with glee. You see the monkey team was watching both Otto and Sprks play this new space game and Otto was about to win but Sprks clearly was the victor. Otto demanded a rematch each time he lost which was around ten times. After the third time, Gibson and Nova had enough and both brother and sister left to their respected places. Nova to the training room and Gibson to his lab. The only ones that stuck around were Chiro and Antauri. Chiro was sitting on the couch watching his two friends play each other and also argue the other was cheating and Antauri was floating besides Chiro also watching but it wasn't the same excitement that Chiro had in eyes. It was more of a curious nature. He'd seen Chiro play it as well against Nova the other day and clearly was the victor. Chiro also played against Sprks and Otto. Gibson was much for games but love to watch Sprks lose his cool when he lost against either Nova or Chiro. Antauri was never the gamer so to speak but enjoyed watching Chiro have fun as he should. But for some reason his curiosity got the better of him and made the whole room turn their head as he asked what he believed to be an innocent question.

"How do you play this game?" Antauri inquired and as he did, a boom was heard in the game as it seemed Otto finally beat Sprks but the two didn't noticed as they looked at their usually stoic brother as if two heads were attached to Antauri. Chiro was the most shocked because never in the history of ever, had Antauri shown any interest in video games. He always assumed it was because Antauri wasn't the game kind of person. Even Gibson tried the game once but quit after 30 seconds. Chiro was the first to recover from his shock and smiled at Antauri who was still waiting for an answer. He was serious about this game for the reasons were simple. He wanted to see what made everyone so excited about it.

"Antauri if you want, I can teach you how to play. If you want?" Chiro cocked his head slightly to the side as Antauri thought about that.

"Kid! You teaching Antauri how to play the game is like teaching Brainstrain how to become a comedian and trust me, that a feat no one can accomplish… No offense Antauri." Sprks sheepishly said as he eyed his brother who glared back at him and then turned to Chiro.

"Chiro I would love if you teach me how to play. I'm just curious as to why everyone is so interested in this." Chiro chuckled at Antauri's curiosity. It wasn't everyday when Antauri had to be taught something. He seemed like the kind of being that knew everything. But it was a problem for the young teen for he liked spending time with Antauri.

"Okay Antauri, this is what each of the buttons do…"

Three hours later…

Antauri was doing better then Chiro or even Sprks or Otto imagine. You see, it took about a half an hour for Chiro to explain what each of the buttons and controls do and how to make certain combinations to get better power. Then it took all of Chiro's strength and will not slap Sprks for picking on Antauri since he was losing badly for the past hour since he was taught how play. But after three hours passes, Chiro, Sprks and Otto were shocked when Antauri's character beat Chiro's. Not only them but Antauri was as equally surprise. He really didn't think he could beat Chiro in this game but he did. And he was happy. But not because he beat Chiro but because he was beginning to see why the game was addicting. It was all about bonding with those around you and escaping reality for only the short time. It made Antauri smile when he would glance over at Chiro as his blue eyes would squint in concentration as he tried to figure out a way to beat his foe. Or when Chiro would get this look when he didn't win. It wasn't a mad look but it was like losing was what kept Chiro the motivation to do better then he previously did. Funny how a video game like this, can actually be good for you… in moderation of course. Antauri looked behind him to find that both Sprks and Otto had left Chiro and himself alone in the room as the sounds of the game still blared on the television. Chiro had picked up his controller and smiled as he handed Antauri his.

'I never saw this side of Antauri before. Sure there were times were Antauri would actually tell a funny joke or do something embarrassing but never this happy. I wonder if it's because of the game or because he's playing with me. I hope it's both. It's nice to see him worried about losing a video game and not the fate of the world…' Chiro thought in content as he and Antauri began the game again. By this point, Antauri was really good at this game and had beaten Chiro four times while Chiro beat him six. It was around nightfall when they were still in the room playing the game. Around seven, they paused the game in order to eat dinner with the others and Chiro told the others how good Antauri was in the game.

"Wow Antauri if you're that good, can you please beat Sprks. Cause his ego is big enough!" Otto replied as everyone but Sprks laughed.

"Ha-ha! Real funny Otto but just because Antauri beat the kid a few times doesn't mean I'll go down like that!" Sprks arrogantly replied.

"Oh! Is that a challenge Sprks!" Nova inquired curiously as Gibson chuckled and Chiro glanced over to see Antauri's reaction. Which like usual was calm but something else. Was he really going to accept the challenge?

"Sprks, it truly doesn't matter which one of us is the better player but what does matter is the quality time that we spend with each other." Antauri calm spoke as he sipped his tea.

"Well yeah! That is true but I want to see for myself how good you are!" Sprks remarked casually. For some reason he had a feeling that he would eat those words.

"Well let's play tomorrow then, it's getting late so lets clean up and go to bed." Antauri inquired as he the rest of the team cleaned up the kitchen and then after that they all said goodnight and went to their respect rooms. Only Chiro and Antauri remained where the game was still paused.

"Antauri?" Chiro began as he sat on the floor a little ways from the game. Antauri sat next to him and spoke.

"Yes Chiro, is there something wrong?" Always the concerned one. That how Antauri was.

"Well I just wanted to thank you for playing with me today. I hope you had fun too." Chiro happily remarked. Antauri smiled backed as he placed his palm on top of Chiro's. Of course he was happy with Chiro. Chiro brought out this different person in Antauri that he never thought he had. Never in his life had he had this much fun and Chiro, his son sitting beside him smiling, was the reason for it.

"Chiro, I had a lot of fun playing with you. I never knew that playing video games were fun. I always thought them to be a waste of time but you showed me that sometimes it having fun is just what you need. So thank you Chiro." Antauri happily replied as Chiro looked away with a blush but then smirked as he eyed the game and then at Antauri was very confused.

"Well nature, if you're such the gamer now, I have to become your trainer!"

"My trainer? But for what?"

"Antauri, don't tell me you forgotten about the challenge that both you and Sprks will have tomorrow?" Chiro responded in a sly tone. Antauri at this point knew what he was getting at.

"Oh, that challenge, well, since you are the expert at this sort of challenge why don't you teach me then? Antauri smirked as he and Chiro laughed at their little inside joke and began playing. And that's how Gibson found the two pairs later on. The television was still on but both Chiro and Antauri were sleeping. Gibson shook his head as he turned off the television and placed Chiro on the couch so that he wasn't too far from Antauri. Before turning the lights off to the room, Gibson hung around the door frame and smiled in fondness at the sight.

"They are certainly quite the pair those two. Goodnight Chiro, Antauri, hope you knock Sprks down a peg or two." Gibson Chuckled as he turned off the lights and went back into his room to sleep.

The next day, Antauri and Sprks began played the space video game and although it seemed like hours even though it was only fifteen minutes, Antauri was the victor. So in the end with the exception of Sprks, everyone was happy. And on days like this where boredom kicked in, Antauri and Chiro played video games together and even went out to pick some games together.

It was and still is a favorite past time that they both enjoy.
