My Victory

I recently picked up my DS and started to play Zelda Phantom Hourglass again. It is my second time playing, and I was dedicated to completing it in full. One of the major tasks I had to accomplish was catching some fish for the old fisherman, including the legendary Nepatoona. This has caused some excitement in our household, as several times I've thought that I had finally caught it, only to be disappointed by the Rusty Swordfish. Gllen would stop whatever he was doing, watch me hyperventilate until the fish was reeled in and then console me when my dreams were crushed.

On Friday, my dreams came true. I was alone in the living room, and I saw the shadow of a great fish. I cast my fishing rod. Something caught a hold of my lure and I yanked. It was on the line! I started to pull and reel, trying to outsmart the fish. It jumped in the air, and I saw a glimmer of blue. I started to scream. After harrowing minutes, I finally reeled in the beast, and to my sheer joy, it was the Nepatoona! I shouted, "I caught it! I caught the Nepatoooooooona!" I ran into Gllen's office and he was oblivious to everything, buried under headphones. I shook him and shoved the DS at him.

"Boyfriend, I got the Nepatoona! Look at him!!!!!" Gllen stared at the screen in disbelief for a few seconds, and then looked at me with wonder. Slowly, his hand came up to give me a high five. He looked at the screen again, his excitement beginning to grow... I was bouncing with joy. Finally, he exclaimed, "That's Awesome! Fist-pump for three years!"

We both started fist-pumping, chanting "Nepatoona!" Its so great that I am dating a gamer who can appreciate these things.
