"Is there any game you like that you aren't, like, the patron saint of?" Lexi asks, when they've tried all the tracks at least once.

"Lots! Anything that's not a racing game, pretty much."

"Let's play one of those, I don't know what's good, recommend me something?"

"You know what," says Tony, "we should totally play Super Mario."

"Okay." Lexi makes another square, and with it makes there be Super Mario. She swaps cartridges.

This one is not so competitive! But it is so fun.

It is! Lexi giggles when giggling is called for, and dies a lot, and picks up from there.

"You're wiggling," accuses a smirking Lexi.

"I totally am."

"It's cute." She sways a little to the music, herself, but it's much more dignified. Or so she tells herself.

"You," says Tony, "are waggling."

"No! I'm not waggling, I'm swaying."

"Waggling! It's like wiggling but slower!"

"Nope. Swaying. Very dignified."

"Sure, okay."

"I can dance, though, I'm not clumsy like Bella is - used to be - I can totally dance. Just not on a sofa so much."

"I can dance!" says Tony. "Not exceptionally well, but I can dance. There should be more dancing at these things."

"I heard Angela talking about singing like she did at the first party. So maybe she will. I hope she's a better singer than my Bella - than, what'd she call herself, Aurora - if she's going to do that."

"I heard her sing before, she's pretty awesome."

"Huh, I wonder how, is that, like, an angel thing or would my Bella be able to sing too if she worked at it?"

"Beats me," says Tony.

Lexi's sprite dies again. "Rats. Maybe I am not good enough at video games for it to be my hobby."

"I wasn't good at video games either when I'd been playing them for like an hour."

"I mean I haven't just never played video games before, just not on the regular."
