"There's absolutely no way." "Yuh huh! I'm telling you Kirstin, video games makes people smarter!!" "Jay, that's just not true i'm pretty sure there's scientific proof that says you're wrong!" "And I'm sure science says I'm right!" Jay says putting his controller down and crossing his arms.

You originally were going to sit in the living room and watch Jay play video games. Until you two had to get into a debate on video games making someone smarter. You were absolutely convinced video games were a violent influence, had the ability to make someone lazy and addicted, and were just a simple waste of anyone's time.

Just then your father popped up on your screen vision. "Turn on your hologram now and this time when you do it, wink." he says. You get confused for a second then do as he says. Jay stops talking when you show your father in his hologram form. You wink, which let the projection appear on its own. "Oh that's new, I had no idea i could let the projection, project itself." you said and Jay grins.

"Hate to interrupt you two but, I have to agree with Mr. Walker over here Kirstin. Science does say video games makes a person stronger." your dad says and your mouth drops open as Jay cheers. "Haha first impression on your dad, I love him already!! Care to explain Mr. Brown?" he says and you roll your eyes.

"Gladly Jay! First off, too much of video games is bad-" "HA!" you said to Jay and he's the one who rolls his eyes. "But there is an increase of cognitive function when you play video games. There's a grey area in Memory skills, strategic planning, and fine motor skills of the hands." your father says and Jay goes back to cheering.

"But there's more, action games can increase attention to details in individuals and improvement to eyesight. Oh and most importantly, hand to eye coordination." your father finishes and you sigh in defeat. "HA! And one more thing to add to that! Computer games help you type faster!! Oh block craft, you have taught me well.."

"Alright, alright, thanks for rubbing it in my face you two. I was wrong, happy?" you said with a smile of defeat. "Woohoo! Holographic high five Kirstin's dad!" Jay said as he and your father high fived each other. Your father chuckles and gives you a holographic kiss on your cheek. "I love you my cherry blossom." "Yeah, yeah we'll talk later." you said with a chuckle as you make the hologram disappear.

"Your dad is awesome!" "Haha yeah, he is." "Anywho, wanna play an educational video game that I have with me?" he asks and you think on it for a minute. "Uh...sure, why not? I mean if it is educational I could learn something from it. What's it called?" Jay goes to put the game disk into the console then sits back down next to you on the couch as it loads. "GNA, Grand Ninja Auto." he says with a grin wide on his face as he hands you a console. "Jay! What's so educational about that?!" "Pfft! You learn to drive and a bunch of other awesome stuff!" "Ugh."

Jay left you in the living room about an hour ago since you didn't want to play video games anymore. But time with him was enjoyed. You stayed there on the couch reading one of your favorite fiction novels. The silence was nice, you weren't sure what the other ninja were up to but the quietness was enjoyable.

You suddenly felt tingling again when you saw Zane walk into the room. "There you are! I thought you were in the bridge." he says and you quickly put the book down slightly concerned. "Am i needed there?" you ask and he smile and shakes his head. "No, I just...wanted to be with you." Zane said, blushing if it could be visible on his titanium face.

"Oh, well here I am. Haha!" you say as you make room for him to sit down next to you on the couch. Zane sits down and gets comfortable. "You like to read?" he asks, seeing your book. "No, I love to read. It's my...escape, I guess I could say." You smile. "Interesting. I haven't read in awhile but I also do admire reading. What genres do you read?" "Well, I like them all. From Fiction to Non-fiction and the rest. But recently I find myself reading a lot of science fiction, romance, adventure novels, like this one right here."

You bookmark the page you were reading and you close the book, giving it to Zane. He reads the title and he seems interested in it. "The Boy from Mars. What's it about?" "Well this story takes place years later after earth sent its first group of humans to live on its civilization on Mars. The boy in the story, Ash, grew up on mars and one day he met this girl his age, Martha, online. Like internet friends if you will."

"Martha is from earth but as long as communication is accessible on both sides then distance won't be a problem. I haven't finished reading it but I'm 77% sure they like each other. Ash wants to go to earth to meet her." you finish explaining. "Fascinating! Would you...read me a chapter at least?" "Gladly! It's really well written!"

When Zane leans back on the couch, you lean your back against him, trying to get in a comfortable reading position. Zane puts his arms around you and you felt the tingling inside you again. "Before you read I-i just want to tell you something I keep experiencing." Zane says and you look up at him.

"What?" "Well it might be just me but, whenever I'm with you or you're near me, I always feel this...vibration sensation inside of me." Your eyes widen at his words. "What?! Zane! I feel that all the time too!! Around you! I'm so glad i'm not the only one who feels that!" "Whew! Me too." "But why does this happen?"

You and Zane think for a moment before Zane speaks up. "Do you know how wireless fidelity works?" He asks you. "Wi-Fi? Then yes of course. A device can just wirelessly connect to the router." "Maybe...it's the same for us. You can connect to computer system like I can, correct?" "Yes. So what you're saying is...we're connected automatically somehow? But in order for that to happen we'd maybe have to be-" "Designed for each other."

You blush for a bit then smile, "We're...compatible." Zane smiles back and kisses your forehead, "Indeed we are. And I'm sure of it this time." you rest your head on his chest still smiling. You held the book in front of you and start reading chapter one of the book to him. Actually you got pretty carried away with the book and read through to chapter 3. Zane was really enjoying the book as you two cuddled on the couch.

" 'I can't really leave the city dome without a space suit and an oxygen tank, just so I can stargaze.' 'I thought there was oxygen up there?' I asked him as I laid down on the grass in my backyard, keeping the phone next to me. 'Well yeah, unless you want me to breathe in about 96% of carbon dioxide, then I have to stay inside the dome where there's oxygen.' He was sort of being sarcastic to me, but I liked that about him. "

" 'But you're still seeing the same stars I'm seeing, right?' 'Different sky, different location, but yes, same night stars.' I smiled to hear the news. I still wanted to meet him person to person. To watch the stars under one sky together. A Martian and an Earthling. We were quiet for a bit, I could hear quiet mumbles to himself, probably connecting the dots to the different constellations. "

" 'Mar?' he spoke up on the line all of a sudden. 'Yeah Ash?' 'Do ya think someone watches us from those stars?' 'Well, I'd like to think so. What about you?' 'Well...maybe.' 'Even if someone looks at us from those stars, they'll be seeing our past.' I said as I match the constellation, Pegasus together. 'The past?' 'Well yeah, The past and present are in one sky.' he was quiet for a moment, probably processing my words. 'Stars are something, aren't they?' he ends up saying. I smile and rest my hands on my stomach. 'They sure are.' "

You finished chapter three and waited for another reaction from Zane. "This story gets better and better." "I know right! I hope eventually in the book they meet." "Me too!" "Well I will take a reading break. But for now we could maybe...stay like this?" you said, biting your lip trying to stop yourself from blushing. "Any moment with you I'll stay for it." he says holding you closer. You smile and rest your eyes.

"Pixal! Good to see you back to normal! How are you feeling?" "I feel much better! Thank you. And it appears I am back in my droid body." "I figured you missed walking around." She smiles, "Thank you. Where is, Zane? And the others." "Oh I have quite the tale to tell you Pixal!"
