<sup>"Yeah like me and you doing a game together. We could play like multiplayer on, I dunno," Lewis racked through whatever games he knew were multiplayer. He didn't own anything past a playstation 2 so most of what was out and current on the systems were unknown to him. Not unless it was a PC game. "Donkey Kong or something," he finally said. He had no clue as to what was already on the channel or even if a multiplayer vs or lets play would make sense. "It's just an idea." Maybe he was getting a little bit ahead of himself. This was a big commitment for the two of them.

"You know that doesn't give me a lot to work with," Lewis chuckled. A lot of other people that liked video games also liked reading, the television, and some liked anime. "Say like what kind of anime? There was one time that I was really into Naruto but then they took it off the network and I hadn't quite figured out how to watch things online." Now Lewis could pirate just about anything at the drop of a dime.</sup>

<sup>He couldn't believe that she was going to say yes to the whole idea. She liked Donkey Kong, so he had her there, but then her tone seemed to fade slightly. Lewis took a deep breath and inwardly sighed. Winona wasn't really all that excited about it. She was just being nice to humor him.

He watched the reactions around them. Everyone seemed so fixated on her for that sudden outburst. It surprised Lewis even. Cute. "Oh I've seen some of that one," Lewis pointed out. That's about it. He had seen some of it. It was popular and often posted on blogs and message boards. He'd seen all these pony parodies about it too. "It pops up everywhere. Maybe I should start it. Maybe this weekend if I have time." Lewis probably wouldn't have the time. He'd have to find a tux or something fancy for him to dress up in for the upcoming dance.</sup>

^{Oh my~ Winona was causing quite the scene over one little show. He shook his head with a laugh. "I'm pretty sure guys don't really fangirl over shows quite like girls do," said the brony. "But fine. I'll watch the first episode tonight. This just better not be some big long series that I'll get addicted to and spend the next week trying to marathon it." Lewis hoped to god that it wouldn't be something like that. If he caught the show early enough, it wouldn't be a problem. He then offered his hand out to the girl, "Now, Let's get you out of here before people start to think you're crazy."}

^{"Oh my god, bronies," Lewis rolled his eyes. "They don't count." There went that topic. Just another person who he couldn't bring one of his favourite shows up around. Lewis stared at his outstretched hand and then back at her. Then back at his hand and back to her. Each glance brought more and more of a blush upon his face. Why? Shit. He pulled his hand back and tucked it into his pocket. He promised not to go and make things awkward then there it was. "I was... going to drag you out?" he offered. "All this talk about anime got me into a very comicy mood. Sorry. It wasn't supposed to be romantic or anything. Just fun."}

^{"Comics." Lewis stated. "I never got into the more traditional comic book stories or anything, but I loved reading them in the papers on sunday mornings. Like Calvin and Hobbes," he chuckled. He felt bad for his dad a few of the times when Lewis tried to mimic the antics of the boy in the story. Lewis had to admit that he recreated a few crazy moments. "I'd always snatch them up when my dad and I went out of breakfast on sunday mornings." He once asked for a compilation of the boy and tiger comics, but never received it in the end. "What about you?"}

^{"I like the movies, so that has to count for something at least. Riiiight?" He pushed. He nodded his head towards the mall. "We should get going soon," he pointed out. "I've got some packs to crack open and an anime to watch while doing so." Unless she needed something else. He didn't mean to be pushy, but they were kind of having this conversation in the middle of a store in everyone's way. "If you want you can c.. No.. Never mind." It would be counterproductive if he were to invite her over to his room. She could hate the mess. She could find out something about him that she didn't like. She could find an even better date and end up going with his roomate, Scott.}

^{He followed her, swinging the bag that held his cards cheerfully, not expecting her to pick up on his words at first. She did. "Nothing," he laughed. She should have believed him. "It makes me sound like some kind of creeper. Tell me, would you want to go into the dorm of a guy you hardly even know?" He wanted to watch the shows with her. "It's messy anyway, so.. I guess that this'll be it for our adventures today."}

^{"Haha. That's true. But hey, your room didn't seem that bad from what I saw standing in your doorway. Well, maybe it did." He didn't capture that big of a glimpse of anything but there was clothing on the floor behind her. He wondered if her roommate was fine with that. Lewis didn't bother with Scott too much but he kept things contained to his side of the room for his sake. "So... maybe.. I don't know. It's not all that great but diiiid you want to come over?" He spoke slowly as though he was testing the waters. Giving her a moment to emote before he got too far ahead of himself.}

^{"You don't sound sure," he stated the moment she hesitated. He pat her lightly on the shoulder. "Winona, It's okay. I understand. Let's just get you back to your dorm tonight. Maybe next time. I'd want my room to be cleaned before I had a friend stop in on me anyway." Not really. Just a girl. He always got so nervous whenever his roommate would bring a chick over. Lewis always wondered what they would think as they walked past the mess and the guy who sat on his bed on his laptop, until he finally left to give his roommate some time alone.}
