you're at the arcade and see her at a claw machine with anime characters on the side

Blook: "You need help? I can help!

are you good at these things?

Blook: "Yep."

*she steps back* have at it. i wantt the little red guy, please

Alex: "Need some help?"

thanks for what?

Alex: "Thanks for being kind to me I guess."
*He went over to the nearest fast food joint*

oh. ok *follows*

sure! and thank you for helping me out

Alex: "It's nothing, let's grab something to eat afterwards."
*He walked over to a pinball machine, playing it with utmost concentration*

*watching*

Alex: *He was too focused to even notice her and eventually got a high score as well as his money back, and more*

woah!

Alex: *He quickly turned to her, cursing under his breath*
"I didn't even notice you were there..."

...ok?

Alex: "Let's go grab something to eat...?"

ok...but i don't have money, so...i'm fine

Alex: "I'll buy something for the both of us, as a thanks. What do ya say?

*she huffs* yeah, this stupid thing won't grab Shoto

Alex: "Here."
*With relative ease he got one of the plushies, but it was the wrong one*
"Wait, which one's Shoto?"

the red one, but this little guy is cute too

Alex: "My bad, I can try again?"
*He reached into his pockets but couldn't find any money*
(I forgot to ask, is this romance?)

(if u want)
*she pulls out her last quarter*

(is it supposed to be?)
Alex: *He slightly nervously took it and ended up getting the right one, handing it to her*
"Sorry, I didn't even ask for your name."

(if u want)
oh! i'm Meena

(yes then)
Alex: "Alex."
*He smiled*
"Are you just here for fun?"

(ok)
yeah. well actually i know the guy at the desk over there *points to the guy at the counter* and when i heard that they had a claw machine with anime plushies i dashed over with as many quarters as i could find

Alex: "Ah, I just came to pass the time. Wanna go check some other games out?"

David: interested in those?

wh-why'd you break the glass??

David: it was kind of obvious it was rigged

They're always rigged, but sometimes they work

David: I have a thing for spotting the rigged ones.

…aren’t we gonna get in trouble now??

David: ...maybe.

*she is nervous*

David: *immediately fixes it*

*speechless*

grr. yes! but this stupid machine is eating my quarters! i'm so bad at these but i need that little Shoto plush!

David: let me try. *tries 3 times but fails*

hmph

David: I have another idea! *breaks the glass*

*her eyes widen and she looks around to see if anyone saw them*

*grabs the plush and hands it to her*

*takes it, shocked he just did that*

*he walks off to another machine*

*follows* w-wait!

*David turns around*
David: what is it?

Frenzy: Hey! Need some help?

yeah, i can't get this little plush. i'm so bad at these!

Frenzy: *pulls out guitar-gun, charges it to the perfect level to open the glass but not desentigrate the machine or anything in it, fires it at the machine

Frenzy: Which one do ya want?

u-uhm...the red one

Frenzy: *grabs* Here you go!

o-oh...*takes it* uhh......thank you...?

Frenzy: You're welcome! *goes back to playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on her Nintendo Switch OLED (whilst still at the arcade)*
