CHAPTER NINETEEN

For the next half hour they played Halo. Dylan could tell Aiden had never played before because he was terrible at it. “Don’t you have any video games?”

“I have a DS,” he said, “and a few computer games. I’ve never played this one though.”

“Bet you never played Call of Duty either.”

“No.” Aiden made a face as he got his guy stuck in a corner again.

“We should play that next time.” Dylan was a little surprised he was already thinking of inviting Aiden over again.

“Do you have a Pokémon game? I like those, and I think it’d be fun to play on such a big screen.” Aiden managed to get his guy unstuck and shoot at the enemy.

Thank God they weren’t playing online on a team. The other players would be pissed. Dylan liked to win, so he was annoyed at Aiden’s constantly dying, but this was just for fun and didn’t mean anything. He was glad they hadn’t gone head-to-head. It would have been embarrassing.

“I don’t think I do, but tell me which one you want and I can buy it.” Shadow Valley was hidden from the outside world, but they weren’t cut off. It took longer to get some things, especially new stuff, but there were ways to get practically anything.

Dad came up to let them know dinner was ready.

Aiden gave the dining room an impressed look, although he thankfully didn’t stare. What he did stare at was the food. “Do you eat like this all the time?”

“No.” Dylan rolled his eyes. “You didn’t have to make a huge meal. He’s just one more person.”

“It’s a big event. We wanted to make things more special,” Mom said.

Dylan let out a sigh that was almost a growl. “He already thinks I’m a spoiled rich kid.”

“No, I don’t,” Aiden protested. “I’m sorry if I sounded that way.”

“Everyone, please sit down,” Dad said. “The meal is already made, so let’s just enjoy it.”

“Did you really just make all this?” Aiden asked, taking a seat next to Dylan.

“Well, I used magic to help me,” Mom said. Dylan thought she was showing off a little. “It’s surprising how far you can adapt dragon magic to suit a wide variety of purposes. Dylan should be able to learn the same techniques in a few decades if he doesn’t mind learning from his mother.”

“I don’t care about cooking. I can use a microwave.” He took a big, juicy steak from the serving plate. Although, he considered, it might not be so bad to be able to make this for himself. A microwave dinner wouldn’t be anywhere near this good.

“If I could cook all this in less than an hour, I sure would like to learn.” Aiden took a steak from the platter before passing it along.

“Being a full-blooded fae, it should be much easier for you. You should be able to do amazing things, maybe even make broccoli taste like ice cream,” his mom said, passing the bowl of potatoes to Aiden.

Aiden laughed. “I guess that would make me eat my vegetables.
