"Hey, Tag!" A tall guy with dark, spiky hair called as he walked into the apartment, "What's that?"
"Hey Paul, it's my new V-Pet" Replied a lanky guy with messy, blond hair who was holding a small device the size of a certain touch-screen console that belongs to a certain company who's name starts with "Nint".
"Like a tamogotchi?" Paul wrinkled his nose.
"Kinda, but this thing has way better graphics. It's full 3D, you can download pets and you can edit the pet you own! It doesn't even have to be an animal!" Tag held the device up do his room-mates face.
The device was rather simple. It had a set of buttons (Feed, Heal, Restore, Clean, Trade, Battle, Training, Edit and Download) and a tablet for editing.
"Looks kinda cool," Paul had a slight tone of interest in his voice, "Lets download a pet together."
"Why together?"
"So I don't have to pay for one myself!" Paul chuckled.
So Tag pressed the "Download" button and waited for a selection of pets. A download bar appeared on the screen. The bar slowly filled as Tag watched.
"TAG!"
Tag looked up to see Paul shrinking at the same rate the download bar filled.
"Paul!" Tag could only watch as Paul shrunk and shrunk. His shirt hung loose on his shoulders and his pants started to fall. Paul grabbed them with his shrinking hand. Soon, they were too big and heavy. Eventually, a set of clothes sat on the ground where Paul used to be.
"Download Complete"
Tag searched frantically for his room-mate.
He was interrupted by a beeping sound. He checked the V-Pet.
"Please choose pet" flashed at the top of the screen as Paul stood naked below. Paul was now digitized and at Tag's mercy.
