After Charlie awkwardly introduces herself to Kyle she then returns to Dan's side. She's more than comfortable with Dan, although the same can't be said for Kyle just yet.
"We need to go in the older part of the arcade, the more retro games." Kyle laughs while Charlie closely follows Dan as they briskly walk in between all of the colourful machines.
The more they go into the arcade, the more the music gets louder. Every time Dan turns back to check on Charlie he sees her lips moving, like she's singing. It surprises him but the music is from the early-to-late 2000s.
"Here! They still have it." Kyle laughs in shock. He wasn't suspecting the faulty machine to be still here, it means not a lot of people know about the seemingly limitless prize supply. All three of the stand around it.
"A claw machine?" Charlie laughs in shock.
"I thought you was going to teach me how to be a bad person?" Charlie laughs at how stupid her request seems now. Dan and Kyle on the other hand both look at each other with a sinister smile.
"We're gonna rob it. Innit." Charlie nervously laughs putting her hand over her mouth.
"Try not to look suspicious." Kyle whispers as the music quiets down dramatically.
"Fuck yes!" Kyle shouts a little too loud as the quiet music then morphs into another nostalgic song. It's almost like the owners know that this is what people want to hear at full volume...Wonderwall.
Charlie closes her eyes and sways to the music at first, but she suddenly stops and starts singing. She slowly opens her pretty eyes and looks at Dan while singing one certain line in particular...
"I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do, about you now".

While they lovingly look at each other...they don't do the cliché. As much as Dan and Charlie want to recite the Dirty Dancing routine they hold back. Instead Dan quickly looks away while Charlie nervously laughs. She's a good singer - Kyle thinks to himself. Dan on the other hand wants to sign her up to his old record label. She's a better singer than me!
"What do we do again?" Dan asks while Kyle keeps a look out for any staff, he knows that he really shouldn't come back to this arcade...especially since him and his mates nearly got caught last time. Luckily Kyle bolted before the cops came, it was a very close call and he doesn't wish to get caught.
"Wait...I need to tell the story..." It's a part of Kyle's routine to impress his lady friends. Dan on the other hand tilts his head back in frustration, he's heard the 'story' one too many times.
Charlie is intrigued, so she doesn't say no to the story. "So me and my mates used to cat call girls, we was always popping our heads over our fence. Every time we got a girl we liked we'd take her to the arcade" - Dan yawns - "and if they're shit at arcade games we'd secretly get a magnet..." Kyle holds it up with a mischievous smile taking out his magnet from his back pocket.
"And you would drag it across the glass-" Kyle angrily cuts Dan off before he can ruin the whole story for Charlie.
Kyle then turns around so that he isn't looking directly at Dan. "Sorry about him. He doesn't appreciate a nice little gesture." With that Charlie shakes her head with a smile, she just wants to hear the rest of the story.

"It's being called pikey, mate. You can't be arsed to pay a quid for a soft toy." Dan interferes again.
"It's being called romantic. Last time you was romantic it turned out that she was a little messed up dead girl." Dan's eyes widen while Kyle totally ignores Dan.
"Least I don't tell a stupid story for emphasis."
"It's actually cool." Charlie says pointing at Kyle who sarcastically smiles.
"Well fuck me." Dan turns away for a couple of seconds while Kyle continues showing what Charlie has to do in story form. It's better than giving boring instructions, Kyle thinks to himself while Charlie watches him pull the contents of the machine into a black plastic bin bag.
But Dan's plan has worked...Charlie feels just like Lily Marrow!

8 92Tales of the Willful Autonomous Nanobot Generator
Due to over-engineering and poor parenting; a nanobot generator is sent into the wider universe, ready to solve any and all problems...though probably not the way that was intended, or even hoped for. This story is a first time attempt to use a literary device I came up with, where I use 4 randomly selected songs to write short stories. As such there really won't be any cohesive story thread between chapters. If this gets traction, the likelihood for reader polls to influence the next story are high.
8 134Music System
Saturn Vanya Emerson is a musical genius who ended up in prison through an unfortunate set of circumstances. The universe felt pitty that he youth once again couldn't fulfil his talent and granted him a gift to fulfil his potentil. This is his story. Sorry about the crappy synopsis and crappy name for the novel. To be honest I really couldn't think of a good name to call the novel. Music Playlist for the novel, https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7_acUgMyEtVGHfIU5vKCH2dGXYFm-tIh when ever a new song is introduced into the novel the song will be added to the playlist. If I mention a specific song then it'll added to the playlist. If I don't mention a specific song then I'll add a few of that type that I personally like.
