Final Fantasy VII just came out. Fred, being the gamer geek he was, immediately went out and bought it. He had called you repeatedly, telling you to come over. Eventually, you caved and drove your car to his house.

You didn't need to knock, you just came in. Fred was practically bouncing off the walls with excitement. What a nerd. He clutched the controller right in his hand. Without saying a word, he plugged on all the cords and slipped the game in. His face lit up as the tv came to life.

"This is gonna be so awesome."

he grinned, tightening his grip on the handles.
