On this Friday night, Tyler couldn’t have been happier right now. Of course, any 10-year old would after getting a package in the mail, even if it wasn’t addressed to him exactly. He didn’t really care, as it was what he and his best friend were looking forward to for the past week.
“Tyler, don’t break it now,” his mother told him. “That’s Billy’s game, remember?”
“Yeah, Mom…” Tyler sighed but regained his step after that, immediately turning upstairs and back towards his big brother’s bedroom. “Hey bro, it finally came!”
“About time,” Billy sighed as he got up from his desk, leaving his latest Geometry homework laying down on it. Being four years the elder of his brother, he naturally had to look down to see his little brother with a square paper package in his hand. After weeks of waiting, he couldn’t help but smile down at fruit of his patience.
“Lemme see that,” he said before quickly snatching the package out of Tyler’s hands and already starting to tear it open.
Tyler watched as he watched his big brother tearing the package open, not taking too long to reveal it’s contents. He saw the yellow and black casing of a game, something he had known his brother to want for a while, and what little he described intrigued him, hence why he was curious. He leaned over to get a better look.
“Shin Megami Tensei…..Persona 4?” Tyler questioned as he read it out loud. “That name’s a lot wordier than when you told me about it.” He added with a smile.
“Most people just call it Persona 4,” Billy explained as he happily opened up the case and observed the perfectly reserved game manual and disc, just as the seller on eBay had promised. “Keith has been ragging on me to get it ever since he downloaded the game on his Playstation 3. Now that I can play it on my Playstation 2, maybe I can finally see what all of the fuss is about.”
“Me too. I’ve even heard some of my friends say some good things about it. Guess that M rating isn’t too bad if even Mom is letting me watch it with you,” Tyler said.
“Like Mom has ever cared about ratings on anything,” Billy replied with a chuckle before starting to uncover his long stored PS2. “Considering she brought us all to see Deadpool, I don’t think she would care either way. Now, how about you go get the others while I set this old dinosaur up?”
“Sure!” Tyler smiled, getting back up to run out of his room. His best friend, James, who was around his age, was visiting today while his parents were having a night out. His and Billy’s little sister Amy was there as well.
