Zakk felt so much pressure now. His adrenaline coursed through his body. This wasn't a life or death situation. This is rather a situation that involved further humiliation if he didn't do something. Trembling in anticipation and might, he clumsily tosses the bowling ball, not even looking or seeing what happened.
He was far too nervous for that. However, the ball managed to hit all ten pins in one sweep. Zakk's back was turned to the entire thing as he didn't notice what happened until he turned around.
"And that's how you land a strike." He said, trying to play this off.
In reality, he's wondering if he could do it again.

“Wow! You’re good!” said Julia who was pretty impressed by the move.
She herself felt quite nervous in front of her audience. She really thought that maybe they shouldn’t have streamed it but that super hit needed to be recorded… She went to the alley to take her turn but she still was troubled and she wouldn’t be able to beat that super move… But whatever. They were here to have fun, they were not at the Olympics, so trying not to care too much about it, she tossed her ball once more and got eight pins, then the last two. It wasn’t that bad…
After her turn, she quickly showed around the place to her followers before she went back to Zakk's next turn, they had to see more of the great ambiance here...

Zakk honestly didn't know if he could do it again. He then retraced his steps, thinking, and calculating before finally, going for another clumsy toss and turning his back to the pins. He heard the satisfying crash of the pins colliding with each other. Zakk turned around and saw that he had three pins that were in a cluster.
"I've got this, now..."
Zakk then bowled, this time doing it correctly, as he managed to get himself a spare.
"Alright! I did it! Yes!" He jumps in the air and high-fives Julia.

Julia high-fived Zakk as well before she would go to do her turn.
"We're good!"
This time it seemed that they were both far more relaxed and Julia managed to do a strike.
"Yes!"
She now felt confident that both of them would do good in the rest of the game, no matter the many followers looking at them...

Zakk, too relaxed. He didn't get the strike, but it was okay. He didn't mind at all. He was just glad that his mind was no longer occupied with Betty or the Espelhar, or even his dad. Right now, he was in the moment, having fun with a cute friend.
He never knew streaming could be so much fun. Zakk's hangover even disappeared!

After they finished the game, Julia was really happy, they had fun and the streaming was not as embarrassing as she had thought for a moment. They both were pretty good in the end, it was a great game. And she was happy to notice that Zakk's mood had changed from what she had seen at his home and now...
“So Zakk, should we go play to some videogame?”

He had a lot of fun. Though Zakk didn't do as good of a job as Julia. He really had fun though.
"Sure! We can play some games."
Just as Zakk returned the shoes and put back on his normal shoes a wild idea crossed his mind. He was going to invite Betty out with him for the tournament Gala, but... Julia should go with him.
"You know... Would it be okay if I invite you to the pre-tournament dinner with me?" He looked away sheepishly. "I really hate to go alone. Plus you can help me find my cousin."

Julia was glad Zakk looked away because she had the feeling she turned red with the proposition. He wasn’t exactly asking her to be his girlfriend but it was a good start… Beside she did wonder how she would be able to go on that ship to help him with his cousin since she wasn’t participating…
“Okay, we can go together, it would be great… Thank you for the invitation. And yes, I will help you, you can count on me.”
Replacing her glasses while hoping the blush over her cheeks was fading, Julia then smiled at Zakk once more and said: “So, which game do you want to play? … And thank you again for inviting me, I really appreciate it.”

"No problem." Zakk said.
He then looked at Julia and noticed her blushing. He was glad that she was very receptive to the idea. He hoped to see her in a nice dress. He had a nice suit that he was going to wear.
"Well, I suppose we could go play some beat em up, or maybe another co-op game?"

"Co-op would be great" said Julia. They had to practice working in cooperation since they may need it later...
Speaking of which, Julia wondered what dress she could wear and mostly what shoes... If something should happen and they had to fight, she couldn't really do it in stilettos... She couldn't even normally walk in stilettos... How did the spies do it? The glamourous spy women, like the Williams sisters for example, were always wearing stilettos while fighting... How were they able to do it? Maybe she could wear some high heel shoes, not stilettos and could take them away to fight barefoot if the need should arise? Maybe high heels but not too high? She would certainly not go there in sneakers...
She also wondered if she and Zakk would dance together... or kiss...
But feeling herself blush again, she tried to push those thought aside...

"I've always preferred co-op games. It's nice to see how well you work with a partner." Zakk said. "I will admit, Steve and I do not work well together. We tried. But Pops and I do just fine. And on the battle-field even. I suppose we can see how well you and I work together."
Zakk continued to follow Julia. He wondered if there were any co-op games that Julia was going to recommend.
"Is something wrong?" He asked innocently, noticing Julia's blush.

"Hum? Oh no, nothing! Huh, no. It’s just… Well, it’s nothing."
She really had to stop blushing… Julia quickly tried to divert the attention by pointing to some arcade machine.
"Oh, there is a co-op game! The house of the dead 4!" She then noticed another.
"Or maybe Virtua cop 3?"
Then pointing to another she said: "Or that game, apparently a shooter, gothic Lolita anime style… Deathsmiles 2…"
While she looked at the games, wondering which one, she asked Zakk:
"And why don't you work well with Steve? Is it something like not understanding each other? Or you both have different methods?…"

"Let's do House of the Dead 4! I've got really good aim on these light-gun games."
"Or maybe Virtua cop 3?"
"That one is also good, too. Yeah let's go with_"
"Or that game, apparently a shooter, gothic Lolita anime style… Deathsmiles 2…"
"Nah. Virtua Cop 3 it is!"
"And why don't you work well with Steve? Is it something like not understanding each other? Or you both have different methods?…"
"Well, you see... it's because we have different ways to approach things. Steve's a bit of a lone-wolf. He likes to do things on his own. I like to help out, so usually it ends up with him stealing all the power-ups and not doing anything to help me out. I guess it's like that in real-life, too. As you already know, I'm a team-player. I'm not going to be stupid and just go off on my own like Steve."

“I'm not surprised that you're a team player but I’m kind of surprised Steve is like that… I didn’t imagine him to act that way but then I do not know him very much… I guess I would be more like you and share the power ups but then we will have to see who needs it and not lose too much time offering it to the other… I sometimes lost lives in games because of that."
While going toward the game, Julia then slightly changed the subject and told Zakk:
"Like on the ship, I hope we will quickly understand each other if we have to act fast. Do you have some codes or signs or something that are important to know when you do team work to understand each other better in a somewhat discrete way?”
Julia thought they really had to be prepared in that ship since there will be criminals and assassins in every corners… There will also be good guys, like Lee and Lars, but they still had to be wary of the dangerous persons, which included both Lian and the Williams, and even maybe the owner of the ship… Julia was willing to help, even slightly excited about it but she knew they would have to be very careful… If not, one of them, or both, or someone else, could die… She wanted to save lives, not put anyone in danger… She then asked Zakk:
“So who do you know will be on the ship?”
They shouldn't talk about this already but somehow it had to be discussed…

"Yeah, but the team is stronger. Pops is a martyr. Always making unnecessary sacrifices for no reason." He sighed. "But we somehow manage to work well together."
"Like on the ship, I hope we will quickly understand each other if we have to act fast. Do you have some codes or signs or something that are important to know when you do team work to understand each other better in a somewhat discrete way?”
"Hmm... That's a good idea. Perhaps maybe something like... 'Wow, the seas are rough' meaning something about retreating from danger."
“So who do you know will be on the ship?”
"Well, I know Katya, Pop's fiancèe's daug_ whoops. I wasn't supposed to say that outloud. Just don't let him know that you know that he's engaged. There's also Pops, himself. And my uncle and my cousin Cheyenne. That's all I know on my end. Of course we have the entire Williams family except for Anna. She's really sick. Then there's Claudio, Sorin's boyfriend. And... Of course Lian and her aunt Madison. I imagine that Madison might have an assassin squad of her own, too. But it's a lot of planning. If I could get Cheyenne to scout the place, we might be able to coordinate a plan."
