Xenon, having no need to eat, didn't bother going to the cafeteria. Instead, she proceeded directly to the Electronic Gaming Club. On the way, she had managed to obtain a new uniform and had managed to persuade a science teacher that it would be a good idea to zap her with a car battery to charge her up again, but she was still not at full capacity.
As she walked into the room that was reserved for the club, her eyes lit up, and a smile - probably her first ever genuine smile - spread across her face.
A total of 60 hi-spec PCs lined two of the walls, complete with large, Hi-Definition monitors and top-of-the-range headphones to nullify all noise except the player's own game - plus the obligatory teamspeak headset.
Fifteen large Hi-Definition Televisions took up another wall, ten with a Wii connected and Five with XBox 360s. No Playstation 3s. Just the way Xenon liked it.
The other wall - the wall the door was on - was pretty much stacked with those tower storage units for holding games. There were more games there than most average game stores would have.
Xenon smiled as she walked into the middle of the room, looking around. She walked over to one of the Wiis, bending over and pressing the power button. As the Wii whirred into life and the Wii Menu appeared on the corresponding TV, she smiled, and patted the Wii it like it was a dog or a small child. "Hello there." She stood and smiled.
It didn't take Xenon long to activate Everything in the room. She practically skipped around the room as she turned them on. Every PC was on, Every Wii, All the XBox 360s, and all the monitors and televisions. She walked back into the middle of the room, and bowed deeply. "Hello. My name is Xenon Nintendo. It is a pleasure to meet all of you, and I hope we can all be friends."
No response. Why would there be? She was talking to Inanimate objects.
Yet, she seemed satisfied. Xenon knew all too well that they would not talk back - that would be highly illogical. Yet, just the fact that she was talking, and they were listening, it made her... 'happy'.
She walked over to one of the PCs, and sat down in the chair in front of her. The PCs and Consoles were all tagged and numbered with the Electronic Gaming Club labels, to prevent theft or people 'not realizing' they were from the club. Xenon looked at the label. "Hello PC, ID: EGC04. Let us play some Team Fortress 2. I was removed from my previous game by time constraints, and I would not wish to let me team down."
No response again.
Xenon smiled to herself as she opened the primary compartment on her left ear, and pulled out the USB Cable. "..." She stared for a moment at the end of the USB Cable, then at the USB Socket on the PC. "... I... I've never connected with a PC before..." As she said this, her face was turning red. She really was well made - her appearance looked and felt just like a human, right down to the ability to blush.
She shook her head, feeling foolish over such procrastination, and plugged the cable in. As she did, she let out a sort of 'Aah' sound, but not an 'Aah' or pain, a sort of surprised, yet somewhat pleasurable 'Aah'. The USB cable recharging her battery like an iPod's, her eyes glazed over as she assumed control of the PC. Locating, logging into and running Team Fortress 2, she became oblivious to the world around her as she took her Pyro character into the enemy base, burning a Medic and a Heavy Weapons Guy. "Burn... All of you... Burn... Taste the hellfire... She whispered, as the same twisted grin crept over her face. "...See you in Android Hell."

"Well, that's great; why did they have to make this school so freakin' huge?" Yarik asked himself in search for the library. "Screw it, I'll just see if I can find the clubs." The next moment, Yarik found himself staring wide-eyed into the Electronic Gaming Club. "I've never seen so many consoles, tv's, or games in one place before, theses people must take all their clubs seriously." Yarik was so awed by the amount of electronic gaming gear in the room, he didn't notice one girl on the one of the many pc's, whispering things about a android hell to herself until after he took it all in. "Wait...aren't you the girl from my class who went around screaming GLaDOS lines?"

Xenon steered her Pyro into her team's base to ensure that he wouldn't be attacked. She had been playing for all of lunch and then some, and had racked up about 250 kills in the process - which is incredible for the amount of time she had played. She unplugged her USB cable from the computer, turned, and stood, bowing to Yarik. "Good afternoon." She said, smiling her usual fake smile.
"My name is Xenon Nintendo, and all relevant information would suggest that we are, indeed, in the same class." She paused as she tried to gather information about reciting GLaDOS lines, and her face changed to show an expression of bewilderment. "However, I am afraid that I have no recollection of impersonating GLaDOS." She smiled again. "Are there any other inquiries you would like to make?"

"No, no. No more....inquiries." Yarik was staring at the same girl that was running around the classroom pretending she was GLaDOS, yet she had no memory of doing it. "Strange....." he thought to himself. "However, I was wondering if there was a copy of Super Smash Bros. Brawl in here, it's one of my favorites. But I don't think I could find it by myself in this mass collection." he told Xenon. "Could you help me look for it?"

Xenon nodded and bowed, walking over to the collection on the wall. Without even looking around, she walked right over to the mass of games, locating Super Smash Bros Brawl without even missing a beat, taking the game from the stack.
She returned to Yarik, opening the case to show him that the disc was inside. There was a label on the disc with 'Electronic Gaming Club' written on it. "Super Smash Bros Brawl on the Nintendo Wii." She confirmed, holding it out to him, smiling. "Is there anything else I can assist with?"

Ruehl walked in the room, and stopped suddenly. Wow! So many games...consoles...TVs! What a gaming heaven! He spotted two students in the room, and decided to go introduce himself. After all, he was going to be spending the rest of the year with these students. "Hello, how are you today?" Ruehl asked politely. "I'm Ruehl Lombardi, what's your name?"

Xenon turned to face Ruehl with her same old fake smile, and bowed deeply. "Hello, and welcome to the electronic gaming club. I am Xenon Nintendo, and it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Ruehl Lombardi." She tilted her head slightly. "Is there anything with which I can be of assistance?"

Ruehl smiled at Xenon, and bowed at the waist. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Xenon-chan." Ruehl straightened himself, still smiling at his new classmate. "It's okay, just chill out, play a game or two with me. I don't think I need any assistance with finding a game." He walked over to the shelf with games on it. "Hey, Xenon-chan, wanna play Virtua Fighter? Or do you prefer to play alone?"

Xenon shook her head politely. "I am sorry, but I am currently in the middle of a game of Team Fortress 2 on PC EGC04." She pointed back to the computer, where her Pyro was still standing there, Idle. "I have been away from the keyboard for almost three minutes and thirty-five seconds now, and I think that my team will perform better if I can play an active role." She smiled. "However, I will be more than happy to play with you when the match is finished. Is that acceptable?"

Ruehl grinned. "Sure, no problem." Ruehl took out Devil May Cry III, and stuck it in the Playstation II. After taking out the controller, he began to play. Hm, it's been a while since I play this! Maybe I should buy a memory card to save my game in. Ruehl glanced over at Xenon. Is it just me, or is she...not human? Ruehl was quite oblivious to things.

Xenon bowed again, before returning to her seat at the PC. Once again, she pulled out the USB cable from her ear compartment, letting out a another slight 'eep'. She resumed control of her Pyro as her eyes glazed over again, and she began whispering to herself as she set a spy on fire and a twisted grin spread across her face. "That's right... burn...."

"My name's Vladimir, but I go by Yarik." He said to Ruehl. Yarik walked off to the Wii/TV combo in the corner of the room, "Lets see if I can break my record of beating all the challenges in 48 hours." Yarik whispered to himself. "This is going to be fun."

Xenon steered her Pyro directly onto the enemy's control point, seeing off the enemies there with a swift burst from the flamethrower, winning the match effortlessly. She smiled as she shut down team fortress 2, unplugging the cable from her ear. "Far too easy..." She whispered to herself.

Ruehl shut off the Playstation 2, and put the controller and the game away. "Hey, guys? I'm going to grab a bite to eat, so I'll see you guys later, hopefully." He waved goodbye, and headed out the door.

Xenon smiled to herself as she captured yet another control point single-handed. Her internal clock ticked over and she disconnected herself from the server, then from the computer, sliding the USB cable back into her ear compartment, shutting it. She shut down the computer and stood, bowing. "Thank you for the experience, PC ID:EGC04. I must go now, for my time here is over."
She looked towards Yarik. "I am going now. Please remember to turn off all the consoles you use and return all the discs to their appropriate boxes." She bowed, and then left.
[Xenon has left the Electronic Gaming Club room.]
