Amma nodded, but cared only that it seemed to upset Lue. She knew there were details, probably huge ones, he was leaving out, but she chose not to pry. Even though she desperately wanted to ask more, she restrained herself and said quickly, "Ah, I see. Well, let's go downstairs. I want you to show me how to play that game your human was playing when we came in." She grinned and walked briskly out of the room. ((I feel sooooo bad for Lue and Rasi and everybody.... ))

Lue brightened up at the sound of her voice, "Ha! Guitar Hero?" He asked, chasing her out of the room and closing the door behind him, "Sure, don't be upset if you don't get right away though." He said with a smile and nudge. They made it down stairs and Lue went over to the couch, jumping over from the back and landed perfectly in a sitting position. He grabbed the guitar "Mind if we take over?" He called over to Sarah who was not cooking up something in the kitchen. "Yeah, yeah go ahead... Make sure you don't ignore Amma though." She said eying Lue as he put the guitar strap over his head. Lue patted the cushion next to him for Amma to sit on. He then exited Sarah's game and scrolled down the list of songs, "Here we go." He said as he landed on "Slow Ride", "An easy song... Ok this is what you do." He said taking off the guitar and handing it to her. "Colored gem thing will fly down the screen. You have to hold the color down on the guitar," He pointed at them, "and then strum here." He showed her the little black switch at the base of the guitar. "I'll show you the other stuff later but right now that's all you need to know." He reached across her and did the controls so that the song would start then leaned back and looked over at her with a smile, "Its only three colors when you start. Have fun." He said when the first gem came into view.

Amma had some trouble at first figuring out what to do, but her calculating mind helped her to learn fast. Halfway through the song she stopped missing notes. When the song ended, she laughed. "That was easy enough," she said. "Does it get any harder?"

Lue smiled, "Yeah, there are two other keys that you can use." He reached over her again to adjust the level to medium and picked a different song, "'My name is Jonas' is another easy one..." He said and pressed the green key to start the song. He sat back again and watched.

Amma's pinky kept losing its place on the blue button and was starting to get a little strained, but again, she studied the notes coming up, faster now, in approximation to when they would hit the line and she'd need to strum, and counted in her head while briefly checking her fingers to find the right buttons. Her hand finally got the hang of the four buttons and she got a 50 note streak right before the song ended. She smiled. "Wow, this is fun. Got any really challenging songs?"

Lue switched it to another song called Miss Murder and set her to go. "Yeah there are lots of songs, Sarah likes this one." He said. "You're doing good though, it usually takes people a while to figure out the keys and stuff." He said loving the fact that she was enjoying the game, he was worried she might not.

"Heh, this game's awful fun," she said, starting to play the song, still on medium. Her brain picked up on every lyric and stuck it, while her fingers hit almost every single note correctly."Ugh, I can't move my hand fast enough," she grumbled with a laugh as she used her star power.

Lue laughed, "Haha you think that's fast, just wait till ya get to hard..." He smiled and waited till she was finished before he took the guitar. He slid the strap on over his head and stood up, picking his song and his difficulty. He choose Monsters on expert and started the game. The colors raced down the screen about double the pace as the medium gems did and there were almost three times as many of them. Lue hit most of them and got a 100 streak in less than a minute. He finished the song with 4 stars though and entered his name on the high score list. "That's fast..." He said shaking out his hand and smiling. "Wanna try hard?" He asked taking off the guitar and handing it back to her.

She'd watched in amazement at his skill and nodded when he finished, taking the guitar and selecting one of the easier songs for hard. She picked Slow Ride and got maybe four notes before dying. She turned red in embarrassment. "Wow. Hard is hard," she grumbled, half laughing.

Lue laughed again, he couldn't help it. "Yeah you'll have plenty of time to practice later..." He said and switched it back to medium for her, "It takes a while to get used to the orange key." He explained as Sarah came over and gave Lue a 'Its my turn' look. Lue sighed, "I have more games upstairs on the wii if you wanna head up there and check them out." He said standing up and smiling.

"Okay, sure," she said, standing up and following him up the stairs and back into his room. She sat on one of his bean bag chairs in front of the tv and looked around. The blinds were closed and the room was dark and stuff was strewn all over the floor and whatnot.

Lue walked in without flicking on the light or anything. He picked up a few more random clothing items and threw them behind the door before he grabbed Rasi's beanbag chair out of his closet and set it up for him. "Hmmm, here's the games we have." He said as he brought out a box of them. He let her sort through them as he got up to look for another controller.

She looked through the games until she found one that looked a little bit interesting. " 'Super Smash Brothers Brawl' ? What's that?" she asked him, opening it up and examining the disc and the case. She looked on the back at the little 3D characters attacking each other. "Some kind of fighter game?"

Lue smiled, "I love that game! Yeah you pick a character and fight with them. The cool thing is that the characters are from a whole bunch of other games. Yeah..." He felt like he sounded really stupid at the end so he stopped. "Lemme find another control.... Ahha!" he said and pulled on a long cord that connected another controller out from a huge bin. He walked back over to the seats, plugged in the controllers, and placed the game inside the slot. "All you really do is push the different buttons." He explained as it loaded. "The up key makes you jump and the rest are moves. We'll play as a team against some computers so that you can get the hang of it." He said and then flipped through the menus. He choose Ike, a swordsman, as his character. "Just choose whoever, they are all pretty good. Kirby is the best for new players though." He said pointing to a roundish character on the screen.
