Jack is addicted to video games, particularly a MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame called Kingdom of Teven. Although this has begun to cause problems for him at home and school, he doesn't seem to care. Jack is in awe of an online buddy known by his handle "The Paladin", who is an incredibly skilled player and always seems to be online. After staying up late to play, Jack is so exhausted the next day that he accidentally insults his crush Carrie; but his best friend Carlos comes to Jack's rescue by inviting Carrie to a party where Jack will be. However, The Paladin talks him into playing and Jack gets so caught up in it that he completely forgets about the party. He teaches Carrie to play Teven, but after his friends log out for the night, he gets absorbed in the game and he plays long into the night. When his mother angrily wakes him in the morning, Jack is shocked to discover it's a month later than he thought it was.
