"Oh, come on!"
"Are you serious? I hit him!"
"We can't go to bed until we get this. One more time."
All the windows are dark in the house, save for the flickering glow from the television in the basement. Most everyone inside is asleep on this Friday night, but you and your brother are still up as you try over and over to beat a smiling sandbag into submission.
Each failure brings frustrated cries and groans. But the shared task brings you together as a team. You're both tired and ready to give up, but the rallying cry of 'just one more' keeps you going until that sandbag sails through the atmosphere and across the globe.
"Yes! Finally!"
"We got it!"
A contented sigh escapes you both, as you wonder what you should play next.
"Man, it's so late... "
"Yeah."
"Wanna play a regular match?"
"... yeah alright. But you can’t pick Kirby!"
