One day, on the first of July 2025, I went to the arcade with my friend, Daniel! First, my mum drove me,Daniel and Anthony to the botany downs arcade, second, my mum cashed in her credit card for 60 or something dollars. Thirdly, we went wild, first we used our card on a candy machine, I can’t even remember because we put the card in so many of machines. After the card went to zero, we brought a sticky, stretchy hand and some sour candy. For lunch we had McDonalds but there was a long line because it was lunch. After we ate our lunch, we went back home to play on iPad, hide and seek and Nintendo. An hour or two after, Daniel had to go home. We said goodbye and he went. The end.
