EMBRY GROANED AND RAN A HAND down his face before setting his phone down. She really went to everyone huh? Embry thought to himself before shaking his head with a smile.

"I'll be back later." Embry kissed his mothers cheek before walking out the door.

Embry smiled as he saw Roni standing outside her house, eating for him. "Wow. Six right on the dot. I'm impressed." Roni smiled as she got into the car.

"Honestly, same. I thought I was going to be late." Embry shook his head while Roni smiled as she looked out the window.

"I was just kidding you know. You could have been a few minutes late. I wouldn't have cared." Embry shrugged as he took a quick glance at Roni.

"I didn't want to disappoint you on our first date."

"Well you certainly didn't." Roni chuckled before looking over at Embry. "Look i'm going to be completely honest with you. I've never been on a date before, so i have no idea what i'm doing."

"That's fine. Just think of it as a hangout, but with feelings involved." Roni nodded and looked out the front window, watching as he pulled into 'Forks Retro Arcade'.

"Did you get one of the guys or Emily to crack?" Roni asked with a grin as Embry parked the car.

"No. Why?" Embry asked as he looked over at the girl. Before she could answer he quickly got out of the truck and ran around the front of the car. opening Roni's door.

"This is like my favorite place ever! Well, besides Sam and and Emily's house." Roni told Embry as she got of the car. "I'm so beating you at every two player game."

"We'll see about that." Embry jokingly scoffed as they walked inside. Embry holding the door for her, obviously.

"Well is it isn't my favorite player!" The voice of Cindy LaCraw was heard as Roni walked in the door. "Oh! Who's this?"

"Hey Cindy! This is Embry, he's my date for the night." Roni gave Cindy a hug before standing beside Embry.

Cindy lightly gasped with a wide smile on her face before looking at Embry. "You hurt her, I hurt you."

"I have no intentions of hurting Roni. Not like I could even if i wanted to." Embry muttered the last part, earning a elbow to the rib. Cindy gave him a smile before grabbing something behind the counter.

"I've been saving these for the next time you came in." Cindy handed Roni a bag of tokens making Roni grin. "Now go have fun!"

"You come here a lot dont you?" Embry asked as he followed Roni to the games.

"Of course. I came her a lot as a kid. It was my escape from home." Roni shrugged, not realizing what she was saying before it was too late. "Ignore what I just said. Come on, I'm so beating you at Dance Dance Revolution!" Embry smiled as she grabbed his hand and led him over to the game machine, even though he couldn't get her words out of his head.
