But just as things were going great, Kat's mom announced that she was going to be away for a few weeks on a work trip. Kat was devastated. She had never spent that much time away from Marie before, and she didn't know how she would cope.

Kat and Marie had been inseparable since kindergarten. They did everything together, from sleepovers to sharing lunchboxes. As they entered their preteen years, their friendship only grew stronger. They were each other's rock, supporting and loving each other through thick and thin.

That's when Marie had an idea. She remembered that her dad had given her an old portable console that he had found in his attic. It was an old Game Boy Advance, but Marie had modified it to play all sorts of games, including some that allowed for multiplayer.
