| Wyoming Winds | |

| "Here you are dear, make sure you drink enough water with | |
| these." A smile and a pat on the shoulder. | |
| "Thanks Mom. Where's Jackson at? He said he was bringing my iPad | |
| up." Mother shook her head, unsure and smiled. | |
| "I'll find him, or I'll bring it up for you." | |
| Not a moment later, a tall brunette opened the door with a pink | |
| leather cased tablet. | |
| "Here Ave." He smiled and then looked to mother. "Can I go out | |
| for a few hours? There's a tourney down at the arcade and I | |
| wanted to stop in a see the games." He headed back to the door, | |
| weaving around a couple of unpacked boxes. Mother sighed and | |
| looked at her tiny wrist watch. | |
| "Alright, but come straight home afterward, okay? Avery starts | |
| classes early in the morning and I need you to take care of | |
| those boxes in the living room tonight." Jackson looked at his | |
| twin and smiled. | |
| "Not a problem Mom. I'll get them taken care of." Avery smiled | |
| back at him and flipped open the cover of her iPad. Mother | |
| nodded and looked between them both, settling on Avery. | |
| "Is there anything else I can get you? Today's been a rough day, | |
| I just want to make sure you're comfortable." Avery looked up at | |
| Jackson as he left the room and then to her mother. | |
| "No mom, I'm fine. I'm just dizzy, that's all. I'll be okay." | |
| She smiled and watched her mother take a deep breath, then she | |
| leaned down and kissed Avery's forehead before she left the | |
| room. Avery settled back in her pillows and pulled up Facebook, | |
| looking up the local high school that her brother was able to | |
| attend and had been for two days. She looked through the | |
| pictures of the kids who attended and started studying them a | |
| bit. She wanted to know their faces as if she were in class with | |
| them. And she wished she could be in class with them, but for | |
| now she would settle for online homeschooling, and Saturday | |
| morning tutoring sessions from one of the local high school | |
| kids. | |

| "Honiahaka, come on already. I wanna go into the city, I'm dying | |
| for a soda." | |
| "I've told you... HAKA. HA-KA. Not all of us have normal | |
| sounding names, Asha..." Haka grumbled as his younger cousin | |
| walked in and leaned against his door. Asha shrugged. | |
| "Not my fault... now get up, you promised to take me since I | |
| covered for your ass the other night," she said, pushing at his | |
| bed. He sighed and sat up, running a hand through his hair. | |
| "Fine, fine... let's go..." | |

| Avery's eyes started to grow lazy, closing to signal her eminent | |
| sleep. She yawned and closed her tablet, setting it aside and | |
| curling into her pillows. 'It will pass...' she told herself and | |
| pulled her blanket over her head. | |
| Jackson rode his back to the arcade, skid to a stop at the bike | |
| rack and got off. He looked around at the few others who were | |
| attending as he locked up his bike and dusted himself off. He | |
| headed for the doors and let himself in, taking in the sight of | |
| all the gaming machines. "Wow..." he whispered. He hadn't seen | |
| an arcade like this, back in Newark they didn't have arcades, | |
| all the kids there just sat back and played their xboxes and | |
| playstations. Jackson loved the retro feel of a good old gaming | |
| box. | |

| "Come on, grandfather said we can use the truck!" Asha said and | |
| walked out. She went and got into the dusty, beat up truck that | |
| their grandfather used to get around the reservation. Both of | |
| them could drive, but when it came to going off-res, she'd | |
| rather Haka drive. Within moments, Haka was outside as well and | |
| climbing in the driver's seat. | |
| "So where am I taking you?" He asked, starting the truck. | |
| "Arcade. Figured it would be fun," she replied, stretching as he | |
| started to drive. He shrugged but nodded, knowing there would be | |
| good food there too. After an hour of travel, they pulled into | |
| the parking lot and went inside. | |

| Jackson lingered among the other players in the room. He'd stop | |
| and watch one, before heading over to another and watch them. It | |
| was sort of busy, nothing that stopped him from playing, but | |
| enough to keep him interested in what else was going on around | |
| him. Finally, he headed over to a machine with a giant dance pad | |
| attached to it. He'd heard of this game before, but he never | |
| played it. He bit his lip and watched the demo for a time. | |

| Haka pulled his long hair into a messy bun, bangs falling in his | |
| eyes as he went to go get them food. Asha meanwhile fished | |
| around in her pockets, digging out a couple quarters, and went | |
| over to Street Fighter IV which was close to the DDR machine. | |
| Popping the coins into the slot, she selected Sakura and started | |
| to play. | |

| Jackson moved around the back bar and onto the pad, dropping a | |
| game of quarters in. The game burst to life, "DANCE DANCE | |
| REVOLUTION!" and then some japanese style music started playing. | |
| "Choose your character!" the game yelled as Jackson sifted | |
| through the anime toons. He picked one, then scrolled through | |
| the list of songs, and difficulties. Finally he landed on a song | |
| that started shouting out through the speakers. "Y-M-C-A!" The | |
| game counted him down and then he started to move on the pad | |
| slowly. | |
| "Oh jeez..." he chuckled, his feet nearly pounding on the | |
| arrows. | |

| Asha glanced over at the guy playing DDR clumsily. She probably | |
| wasn't any better, but she tried not to laugh. Haka came up | |
| behind her. | |
| "I got us nachos, cheese fries, pizza, and some sodas," he said. | |
| She groaned in appreciation. | |
| "You're my favorite cousin ever." She grinned. | |
| "I'm your ONLY cousin..." He sighed. | |

| Jackson kept going, seeming to give up less than halfway through | |
| the song. Finally, though, when it ended, he stomped on the | |
| final arrows, holding it down and taking a deep breath. | |
| "I can't imagine what this would be like if it were any | |
| harder..." he grumbled, shaking his head and stepping off, his | |
| gaze finding itself on the pair of Rez Wolves that were standing | |
| close by. | |

| "Come on, lets sit," Haka sighed, morning to a table. Asha | |
| nodded, letting her character die in order to stuff her face. | |
| When she noticed the DDR guy looking at them, she gave a tight | |
| smile. | |
