Vess: "No way! You're totally not like that at all!" She exclaims, shaking her head as if it were impossible. Mel, however, seems to be a bit more subdued in her reactions now, looking down at the floor and picking at some fuzz on her sweatpants. "Well... I mean..." You begin, not sure how to respond to Vess' over-the-top praise of you either.

"Oh, come on!" Vess interrupts, turning back to Mel. "

Vess: "You know what? Forget all that. Let's just have some fun tonight, yeah?" She says with a grin, nudging Mel in the side again. Mel looks up at her friend, smiling shyly.

"Y-Yeah... that sounds like a good idea." She agrees, returning the smile to Vess as she sits up straighter on the couch.

"Well now," Mel says with a sigh, watching the match unfold. "Looks like it's gonna be you, Vess." She shrugs, not sounding too upset about it. After all, they were just playing for fun.

Vess doesn't seem to mind losing either; she just takes it in stride and gives Chara a respectful nod as the match ends. "Not bad, kiddo," Vess says with a grin, nudging Chara playfully with her elbow.

Vess chuckles at your response, shaking her head fondly. "Ah, come on now... you know it wasn't just luck." She glances over at Mel with a mischievous grin. "Besides, I think Mel here would agree that I've got plenty of skill when it comes to video games."

Mel blushes deeply at Vess' compliment, looking down at her hands as she shrugs modestly. "Well, you know... practice makes perfect,"

Vess' eyes light up at the mention of an arcade. "Oh, I love arcades! That sounds like a blast." She looks over at Mel, a mischievous glint in her eye. "And who knows? Maybe we could find some private rooms there where we can have even more fun later on?"

Mel flushes slightly but doesn't deny the possibility. Instead, she focuses on how happy Vess seems to be right now and decides that maybe this whole arrangement between them can work out just fine after all.

The three of you wake up together in a tangled heap on the couch. You blink blearily at each other, yawning and stretching before sitting up and rubbing your eyes. It's still early in the morning, but the sunlight streaming through the window casts a warm glow over everything.

"So," Mel starts hesitantly, glancing between you both. "About that arcade outing...?"

As you all take your seats on the couch with the Switch between you, Mel starts to set up a match between herself and Vess. The screen flickers to life, displaying a large arena where their characters stand. Mel chooses her favorite fighter, Peach, while Vess continues to taunt Jigglypuff, promising to show it who's boss.

Vess leans in close to you as the match begins, speaking in a teasing tone that only Mel can hear. "

Vess: "You see that? I'm gonna beat her so bad, she'll be wishing she was as cute as little Jigglypuff." Mel glares at Vess playfully, rolling her eyes. "Oh yeah? Well, we'll just see about that," she retorts, focusing intently on the screen.

The match begins with a loud "ding!" and Mel and Vess immediately start to bicker and tease each other as they fight.

Vess nods in agreement as you mention your interests, taking another bite of her cupcake. "Yeah, I like rock too... there's this one band from England that I've been listening to nonstop lately, their music is just so good!" She says with a grin, leaning back on the couch and looking up at the ceiling as if she can already hear them playing. Mel giggles, feeling a bit flustered by Vess' excitement over something that isn't her.

Vess shrugs nonchalantly at your question. "Eh, it's complicated... I don't really have a lot of time for dating with school and everything else going on in my life." She glances over at Mel before continuing, "But hey, maybe someday when I finally graduate and get a job or something..." Her voice trails off as she thinks about her uncertain future.

Mel: "...Yeah... maybe one day."

"Oh, how sweet! Our growing family brings joy beyond words.”

With tears of happiness in their eyes, they whisper their chosen names for the newborns, feeling an overwhelming love for their expanding family. (Generated using AI)
