<SNIP>
After he got adjusted, Jaxx put on his VR helmet and engaged in several hours of mind numbing video-games.
<SNIP>

Jaxx near the end of playing Zero Gee American Football 389. Jaxx waits for the snap and bolts like a missile through the air past the defenders. Jaxx hurls himself to the ceiling and quickly spins around to catch the football. Then Jaxx waits for the defenders to get close before he jumps off the ceiling and hurls himself at the end zone. Two defenders try to intercept Jaxx, but he barreled thru them and into the end zone to score another touch down.

Jaxx got up and looked around to see the fans cheering him on as he raised his arms in the air still holding the football. Jaxx smiled as he was quickly surrounded by his teammates and the media who were ready to celebrate Jaxx winning a Superbowl. Jaxx looked around and saw the fans still cheering him on before he remembered they were fake. Jaxx grew a little sad and ended the game.

Jaxx walked around in the void of the VR as he sighed. Jaxx muttered, "I am bored. BORED! BORED! BORED! Hey Computer do I have any games I haven't played yet?" A VI humanoid female made of blue lights appeared in front of Jaxx and answered, "Yes Sir. You have one un-played game left." Jaxx looked at the VI and asked, "Really what is it?" The VI responded, "It is A Monster's Life." Jaxx looked puzzled and asked, "What is that game about?" The VI responded, "According to the prologue the you play a monster and try to live your perfect fantasy life based on your self-esteem." Jaxx thought about the game for a bit before saying, "Load me up and take this baby for a spin." The VI said, "Very well. Game will commence in 3 seconds."

Jaxx looked around as he saw the scene change around him. It was not long before he found himself in Transylvania at a neighborhood swimming pool. Jaxx looked at himself in a nearby mirror and saw he looked more like a shark than usual. Jaxx thought to himself, "Hmmm not bad. Looks like I am a lifeguard." as he flexed his muscles in the mirror. Jaxx looked around and saw it was night time and several other monsters were arriving at the pool for some R&R. Jaxx smiled as he saw werewolves, sea monsters and some vampires. Jaxx kept a sharp eye on the swimmers to make sure all was well. Jaxx enjoyed his job as the hours flew by. It wasn't long before his shift was over as an Octopus man named Phil took over.

Jaxx walked around to the office to get his gear when he stopped by a young and striking female vampire. She had white skin, black lipstick, black eyeliner, black hair in pig tails and as lightly revealing one piece swimsuit. The female asked Jaxx, "Excuse me do you have and extra towel? I forgot mine at the house." Jaxx smiled and answered, "I do believe I can help you Miss?" The female vampire looked at Jaxx and said, "You can call me Abby." Jaxx went into the office and brought out his towel to young Abby. Abby used the towel to dry off as she said, "Thanks." Jaxx nodded as he asked, "Is there anything else you need?" Abby smiled as she dried her hair. Jaxx took her silence as a no and turned to go back to the small office.

Just as Jaxx reached the door Abby called out to him, "You give up to quickly, cowboy." Jaxx turned around and saw Abby smiling at him. Jaxx looked confused as he said, "I'm sorry I didn't want to....." Abby cut him off and said, "I can see you are nervous so I'll save you the trouble. My friends are throwing a party tonight and I want you to go." Jaxx was in shock by Abby's invite and had trouble answering her so he nodded. Abby smiled at Jaxx and said, "A man of few words. How cute." Then Abby walked up to Jaxx and handed him a card and said, "The address is on the card. Don't be to late." Then Abby turned around and picked up her things and left with a few other females who were giggling.

Jaxx looked at the card and it had a hand written address and a party time of midnight. Jaxx looked at his watch and saw he only had an hour to get ready. Jaxx muttered, "Oh Smeg! I gotta go." Jaxx grabbed his backpack and keys and ran out the gate to his late model chopper. Jaxx revved up his engine and quickly headed to his apartment to wash up and change. He was extremely excited as he groomed himself thoroughly. Jaxx wasn't sure what to wear to the party so he put on his best blue Hawaiian shirt and some blue khaki shorts and some sport shoes. Jaxx then looked up the address on his smart phone to make sure he was not going to get lost. After that Jaxx's stomach began to growl so he went to the kitchen and grabbed a quick snack. Then Jaxx cleaned his teeth again before leaving.

Jaxx was a bit nervous as he drove to the house on top of the hill. It didn't take Jaxx long before he arrived at the party. Several other monsters were entering the house as the loud music echoed all around the outside. Jaxx walked around the house through the crowd of monsters. Jaxx was trying to find anyone he might know but being new to this town he was at a loss. He eventually found the pool outside and sat down to soak his feet. A few minutes later he heard a voice from behind say, "Hello stranger. I see you are quite the party animal." Jaxx shrugged and said, "Sorry I really don't know anyone here." Abby said, "Well then I'll just keep you company for now." Jaxx smiled as he stood up and towered over Abby. Abby looked Jaxx over and said, "I bet inside you is a party animal just aching to to have some fun. Come on lets go inside and have some fun." Jaxx nodded and quickly put on his shoes as he followed Abby inside.

Abby took Jaxx to the ballroom where the band Rob and the Zombies were playing some rock music. Abby waved to here friends as she led Jaxx to the crowded dance floor and they began dancing the night away.
