“You’re a brilliant person,” Fee rolled her eyes back.
The food was delivered to the table, and we all made quick work of finishing it off. After our meal, which was delicious, I followed Morris and the girls into the trampoline room.
It had been decades since I’d been on a trampoline. We placed our belongings in a locker and padded up the few steps and onto the trampolines.
The girls did flips and dives and encouraged Morris and me to do the same. They were fearless with their attempts at tricks.
“Come on, Ms. Cam! You can do it!” Fee encouraged.
“It won’t hurt if you fall. You will just bounce right back up!” Skye said.
“Okay, here I go,” I said as I jumped up and did a flip in the air.
I landed on my butt instead of my feet.
“Yay!” Fee and Skye cheered.
“You okay?” Morris asked, reaching down to help me up.
“I’m good,” I laughed.
“Daddy, it’s your turn,” Fee said.
Morris attempted the flip and landed perfectly.
We all cheered for him.
After we played a while longer on the trampolines, we went to the arcade full of old school games that I was familiar with, likeMs. Pac ManandTime Crisis II. There were some new games that I’d never seen before, likeHydro ThunderandMarvel vs. Capcom.
“Oh, no, they have all theTekkengames! I was a beast in this game. No one could beat me at it,” I recalled.
“Oh yeah? Which character did you fight with?” Morris asked.
“Mokujin and…”
“Mokujin?” Morris interrupted. “Mokujin isn’t even a real character. All he did was mimic other character’s moves.”
“But I could beat you with it. Ain’t no such thing as a fair fight. You have to do whatever it takes to win. If that means using a tree man to fight, then so be it,” I smiled.
“I was theTekkenchamp,” Morris said proudly.
“Who did you use? Wait, let me guess. Paul Phoenix?”
“Eddy Gordo,” Morris responded.
“Same difference. Both are beatable,” I shrugged.
“Daddy, I want to play skeeball,” Fee said.
“We will have to revisit this conversation,” Morris said.
“Mokujin and I will be waiting.”
He smirked then allowed Fee to guide him to the skeeball area. We found two lanes next to each other so both girls could play at the same time. After winning a ton of redeemable tickets playing all the games in the arcade, the girls went to the redemption center to trade in the tickets for rewards. Of course, the real items at the redemption center cost eleven hundred tickets, so they were only left with some small toys and candy to choose from.
Morris gave me a tour of the rest of the complex, which was enormous.
“Alright, munchkins, it’s time to go home,” Morris announced.
