Video Game Woes 2

"Whew! Cleared that level! Trognis is a tough boss, isn't he?" Stacy said with a grin, looking down at Colton, who sat on the floor. He groaned irritably. He had no idea about Trognis beyond watching his sister play it.

It had been months since he had been allowed to play any video game. He could not even remember just what the bet had been, but he remembered what had happened when he lost it: he could not play any video game other than Barbie Video Game Hero until he beat it 100%, something he agreed to before learning it was impossible to get 100%. Worse, his big sister's idea of helping motivate him had been to methodically replace everything in his life with the Barbie equivalent. Barbie panties and nighties, a Barbie bedspread, the list went on and on. Somehow, she had even convinced their parents to "allow" him to grow his hair out, so he even looked like a Barbie as he sat on the floor in his Barbie t-shirt and skirt, his fingers with their sparkly pink nails wrapped around the dolls he had been told to play with. "And how are you doing on your game, Colton?"

"Barbie and Bella" he muttered, holding up the dolls, "are about to win the big race to win the game."

"Oh, that sounds great. How many times have you seen that movie now?"

"Dunno."

"Don't worry. A few more times and I'm certain you'll finish your Barbie game."

"And then I can go back to normal?" Stacy laughed and Colton blushed.

"I think this is normal for you now, little bro. You had a Barbie birthday cake and even grandpa bought you some new Barbies, didn't he?" Colton felt tears well up as he remembered how embarrassing it had been having to thank his grandpa for his new Barbie dolls. They were not even from the Video Game Hero line, so he had had to gush like a sissy about their pretty princess dresses and how excited he was to play with them. All this from one little bet? More than anything, he wished he could go back in time and stop himself from agreeing. He smiled as he realized he would not even have to say anything. Seeing the Barbie Girl sissy he had become would be enough to deter him. He sighed and began to clean up his dolls, making a face as he heard the cheery music of the game itself, a stark contrast from Trognis. “All set, Barbie boy!” Stacy grinned, watching him kneel demurely to keep his skirt from flashing her. She always considered letting up on him, even nearly buying him some boy underwear again for his birthday, but what was the point? She liked him better this way.
