Aaron was playing Epic Shooters Online with his two best friends Jack and Jeremy. Everything was going great, they had a minute before the barrier would close in their location and there were only 17 other players left before they tasted sweet victory. “Boys, I have a huge request to make of you,” said Jack solemnly. Here goes…thought Aaron already guessing what Jack would ask for. Would he ask for money for the upcoming Zombies movie? Or would it be to help take care of his baby sister Shaylee, which went so well last time. “I’m finally doing it, I’m going to ask Jessica out,” Jack said after a poignant pause. Both Jeremey and Aaron burst out laughing. There was no way Jack was ever going to ask out Jessica, his long time childhood best friend.
“Yeah Jack and I’m going to finally grow wings and fly to school,” chuckled Aaron. “Yeah dude,” added Jermey, “You always say you’re going to ask her out but then you chicken out and make some lame excuse.” Aaron smirked remembering the last time Jack tried this and now Jessica thought Jack had a heart condition. “Guys I have to do it this time, it’s now or never,” Jack said indignantly. “It’s because of Derek.” Aaron thought about it and it made sense. Derek was the new-ish kid that came from a rich family, his dad owned some car company or something, and Jessica had been spending more and more time with him lately, and Jack had ranted about how Jessica told him that Derek was just misunderstood and really a nice guy.

“I need you guys to be my wingmen,” Jack said, causing Aaron to drop his controller in surprise. “Dude, I’ll always support you, Bro Code and all that, but neither of us have any romantic experience,” said Jeremey. Jack smiled triumphantly, “We do, Aaron’s Aunt Kate is a famous teen romance novelist remember.” Aaron eyebrows knitted in annoyance, “You know romance novels are nothing like real life right?” Jack's grin fell quite a bit but he continued on, “I need your help PLEASE?” Jeremey and Jack looked at Aaron and his resolve crumbled, “Fine I’ll be your wingman.”
