ASHTON
"Want to watch a movie?" I asked.
"Hmm. Sure! How about we play at the arcade first?" She asked enthusiastically.
Just do it, Ashton.
You already kissed her.
It's time for her to feel that you want to be more than friends with her.
I took her hand and said, "Let's go!"

Why do I always have to be the one who does the stalking?
I don't want to be the guy on the sidelines.
Should I show myself to them? Greet them? Join them?
But Ashton can be very cocky. He might just pull something off to have Paulene all to himself if I showed up at the wrong time.
I have to be very careful.
What excuse should I make so that I can get to be with them, stay with them?
Should have asked Paulene for a date.
You motherfucker. Why the fuck are you holding Paulene's hand?
Paulene, take your hand away!
Please!
Please don't make me rush there and make a scene. Just take your hand away already!
I heave out a sigh of relief as she finally did.
Good girl.
Ashton, stop pushing yourself. Paulene doesn't like you.
ASHTON
"I'm sorry," I said.
"It's okay. It's nothing."
"How about we play Tekken?" I suggested.
"That's my game, I tell you. I'm gonna beat your ass off," She answered.
"You did not just say that!" I laughed.
"Oh I did, Mr. Harding."
I like you, Paulene. But, I'm not gonna get my ass whipped by a girl.
I sat in front of the Tekken 6 arcade machine while she sat on the other side.
"Press Start!"
I hit the round yellow button.
"New Challenger!"
"How many rounds do you want?" I asked.
"Just three," She answered.
"Are you sure?"
"Mhm!"
"No time limit. Just KOs," I said.
I'm gonna show you who's the boss.
"Character Select"
I picked Kazuya.
She then picked Lili.
I'm sorry but I'm showing you no mercy, my love.
"Get ready for the next battle!"
"Kazuya VS Lili"
"Round 1, Ready, Fight!"
(A/N: Watch embedded video for Ashton and Paulene's match. Find out who wins! )
"Damn!" Paulene exclaimed.
"Wow. That was, tight. Wow, just--"
"Don't say anything," Paulene cut me off.
