Lounging in the lounge, Sunset smirked at the root of the word being quite so true, she was wondering exactly what to do. Her Mom was out on a not-a-date-at-all-honest with Discord. Her friends all had responsibilities today, so there was no time to hang out. Considering the shelf of DVDs in the room, or the vast number of books in the house as a pass-time, Sunset was surprised to hear the basement door opening up.
“Hey kid, bored?” Luna strode over and dropped something into Sunset's lap. She had come back into the house about half an hour ago and gone to her Luna-Cave. The teen hadn't been expecting such a swift return to the family space.
“Uh? Thanks?” Sunset picked up the device that had landed in her lap. It was a 2DS, she knew that much. There was a game in the slot and looking at the console, Sunset found the power button.
“I set it up for you, so it knows everything it needs for start-up.” Luna dropped onto the sofa too, she had a way of dropping that really was just that; a movement that sent her sitting in a lazy sprawl from standing by the seat in one action. She had a DS too, her 3DS that she liked best. (Sunset had seen her collection of Limited Edition consoles ranging right back to the first available). The design was Legend of Zelda, she'd been informed once when asking about the pattern on the case.
“Okay.” Sunset watched the screen and the little icons loaded up. The game icon was recognisable to her also. “Pokemon Sun?”
“I have Moon, of course.” Luna said, she was already playing it seemed. “You get exclusive Pokemon on each version and it is easier to trade with someone you know. It is faster to give you a copy than play through two games.” Luna looked up and smiled. “And it will be fun seeing my niece play a game I love, I hope you'll enjoy it.”
It was a really fond smile and Sunset could only smile back. She'd once worried about how the seemingly more severe of the sisters would react to her moving in, how wrong she had been. “Okay, but I might need loads of help. Unless any of the girls find out about this.”
“Sure. It isn't a hard game to get the hang of. Honestly, this one has changed a lot of features so some parts will be just as new to me as you.” Luna was focused on her game but still happy to chat.

After a while, they both decided it would be a good idea to stop playing. They had chosen their character's looks and name and got as far as choosing starters. Sunset had selected her favourite element; Fire. Luna had ended up with a grass starter, mumbling something like “Owls are the best.”
Having gotten to the point where Sunset was exploring and learning the game and Luna was starting her usual plays, she called a halt. “Come on, gaming all day is great fun, but it is probably time for dinner soon.” She saved the game and closed her console, “We can't have 'Tia accusing me of being a bad influence.”
“Hah, I'm enough of a bad influence on myself.” Sunset laughed but she saved and switched off too. “It was fun, thanks. For the game and the console and the company.” Sunset bumped her shoulder with her aunt's.
“No problem. I'll get another gamer in this family yet.” Luna tousled Sunset's hair after she stood. Glad she'd taken a chance on giving Sunset the game.
