Nino: Ready for some fun?
Boys: Yeah!
Nino: Let's go. *They walked to the Laser Tag employer named Lance. *
Lance: Welcome to G-Force Laser Tag. How many is your party?
Nino: Seven, sir.
Lance: Okay. Before you have fun, let me show you your vests and taggers. Follow me, please? *They followed Lance where they went to suit up before playing. * There are your vests and taggers. Take a vest, put it over your head, and adjust it if it's too loose or tight on you. *They grabbed a Laser Tag vest and put it on. * Okay, next grab your tagger. *Then, they grabbed a tagger and looked at them. *
Adrien: Whoa.
Nino: Pretty cool, huh?
Adrien: Yeah.
Lance: Now that you're all set up, let me explain a few rules regarding laser tags. 1. No climbing, jumping, diving, or stunting on props. 2. Walk only. You'll be in the dark when playing. So be cautious of your surroundings. 3. Do not touch anyone or anyone's equipment. If it's an accident, say sorry, walk away, and then Tag the person. The lasers travel about 1800 feet and work Best if you are two feet or more from your opponent.
Kim: So, we can't get close to another person?
Lance: No.
Kim: Okay.
Lance: 4. Hold your taggers with two hands at all times.
Adrien: Why we gotta do that?
Lance: Your thumb and index finger must be on the handles at all times unless you have one hand, keep both hands on the Laser at all times. also keep the Lasers shoulder strap over your head at all times to prevent damage to others and to the $3,000 G-Force Laser Tag equipment you are borrowing. If you break it, you buy it.
Kim: I don't have that kind of money to buy a new one.
Lance: 5. No foul language. And 6. Have fun. Are we all ready?
Boys: Yes!
Lance: Perfect. *He opened the velvet rope. * Enjoy the laser tag. *They walked through one by one and started playing, Adrien stayed with Nino because he had no clue how to play. *
Nino: Stick with me, dude. I know how to play this.
Adrien: Okay. *Soon, his vest started to flicker. * What's that? What's wrong with my vest?
Nino: That means you've been hit.
Jayden: Gotcha! *He and Michelle high-fived each other and kept playing. *
Adrien: Am I out?
Nino: No, dude. You keep playing. That's the point of the game.
Adrien: Okay. *They start moving around. *
At the Liberty, Luka put on his knee and elbow pads.
Luka: Okay, mom. I'm ready to go.
Anarka: Okay. I made you a list of what we need from the store. Think you can do that?
Luka: Yeah, I can.
