After a few minutes of looking around Rosie's store, Stinky eventually spotted a PS1 game called Breakwynd Journey: A Flatulent Quest. The cover of the jewel case featured who Stinky presumed to be the main character - a black-haired adventurer who was surrounded by other characters, likely those would make up his party members.
A farting RPG? Stinky thought. Why haven't I heard of this before? This looks great!
Stinky grabbed the game off the shelf with both her hands and brought in closer to better inspect it. The PS1 case featured a black label along the spine, and the corner had text that said the game had two discs, not too uncommon for an RPG made back during that time. Stinky turned the case over to look at the back, to see what blurbs there were that would try to make the game sound appealing.
"Take a step into a brand new, smelly adventure!" Stinky read to herself. "As Erik Leif, find yourself setting foot in the kingdom of Esteri, a land filled with people who fart like there's no tomorrow! Turns out there's something more foul than the stench brewing in this carefree, windy kingdom, and Erik Leif is gonna find out why!"
Stinky laughed to herself. This game sounds great, if a little stupid, she said to herself. The price for the game was relatively cheap, and Stinky decided it best to invest in this one. Stinky was always a fan of RPGs, because they were so long and had a lot of stuff happen in them before the end. Now, have an RPG be all about passing gas, and she was sold.
Stinky turned her body around, game still in hand, and made her way towards the front counter, where Rosie was still standing.
"Ya find something ya like, Stinks?" Rosie asked.
"You bet I did!" Stinky excitedly replied. "Check it out, Rose - an RPG all about farting! I've never even heard of this game before. You?"
Rosie leaned in to take a closer look at the case. "Breakwynd Journey? Nah, can't say I have. Probably something someone traded in however long ago - might be obscure."
"I thought those cost a crazy amount of money," Stinky said.
Rosie shrugged her shoulders. "It depends - it's possible that this game ain't all that well-known or popular. It's not unheard of in this sorta business."
Stinky shrugged her shoulders back and smiled. "Works for me! I'll take it!"
Rosie smiled and gave Stinky a wink, continuing with the transaction - thankfully the game was only rated T, so Rosie didn't need one of Stinky's parents to buy it for her, and didn't feel like being nosy about what games Stinky played. The game was only $10, which Stinky had in her pocket. After the money exchanged hands, the copy of Breakwynd Journey now belonged to Stinky.
"You'll have to tell me what you think of it next time you come in!" Rosie said.
Stinky nodded. "You got it, Rose."
"So, you on your way back home?" Rosie asked.
"Yeah, I got a long walk ahead of me."
Rosie let out a knowing sigh. "Ah, that's right - you like to come here on your own. Ain't that a long walk?"
"It's not that long," Stinky assured.
Rosie paused for a moment, then smiled. "Tell ya what," she said, "I'll drive ya back home!" She then turned to face Sammy and added, "Honey! You and Duncan can keep an eye on the store while I'm gone, right?"
Sammy raised his head back up from behind the same shelf he showed himself from again and replied, "Of course, Rosie - you're only gonna be gone about 15 minutes or so, yeah?"
Stinky interjected, "You sure, Rose?"
Rosie assured them both, "Yeah, I'm sure - it's a short drive, and you can think of it as your prize for being my first customer of the day!"
Stinky smiled. "Thanks, Rose!"
With that, both girls made their way out the store, Rosie's car keys in hand. As she made her way towards the driver side, she asked Stinky, "You wanna ride shotgun, Stinks?"
Stinky's eyes widened in eager excitement. "YES, please! That sounds cool!"
Rosie laughed. "Alright, hop on in!"
Stinky immediately swung the passenger side car door open and hopped into the seat, with Rosie following immediately after as she sat down in the driver's seat. She turned on the ignition and the car rumbled to a start. Before she started driving, an epiphany crossed her mind.
"Oh yeah, wear your seat-belt," she told Stinky as she wrapped her own seat-belt across herself. Stinky did the same, and then the two took to the road.
"Hope your parents don't give you a hard time for being in the front seat," Rosie told Stinky. "If they ask, just tell them it was my idea - I'll take the heat off ya."
"Eh, that's assuming they see me get out of this car anyway," Stinky assured. "I gotcha covered."
"Ohoho, Sneaky Stinky..." Rosie said in a playful tone.
The two shared a laugh as Rosie continued to drive Stinky back to her house.

Time: 7:59 AM
The two arrived parked right outside the driveway, with Rosie turning off the car's ignition. "Here ya go, Stinks - we've reached your destination!"
Stinky nodded. "Thanks again, Rose! I'm looking forward to this game."
"I'm glad," Rosie replied.
As Stinky unstrapped her seat-belt, Rosie added, "Hey, ya mind doing me one last favor?"
Stinky looked back at Rosie and replied, "Uh, sure. What is it?"
Rosie then leaned to her right, so that her butt was facing away from Stinky, as she let out a loud fart.
BRRRRRRrrrrrrraaaappphhtt!
Stinky couldn't help but giggle. "Pfft, heheh! Nice one, Rose! You been holding that one in the whole time?"
"You bet!" Rosie answered. "I noticed you weren't farting much either - mind showing me what you've been cooking up?"
Stinky smirked slyly. "Alright, lemme show ya how it's done!"
Stinky raised both her arms up and then swung them both down as she let out a large fart of her own.
BRRR-BRRRRRaaaaaaa!
"Phew-wee!" Stinky said as she sarcastically waved her hand in front of her face, as if to sell the smell. "You're gonna have to roll down a window after that one, Rose!"
Rosie playfully scoffed. "You think that's bad gas? Stinks, watch and learn." Rosie leaned again and let out an even louder fart than before.
BRRRRrrrrrrrr-Brrrrrraaaaaap!
"I dare ya to beat that!" Rosie told Stinky.
"Alright, alright," Stinky said in a snarky tone. "I call this one the Trigger Pull - check this out!"
Stinky then wrapped her hand around her index finger, and once she had pulled it, a fifteen-second-long fart was unleashed within the confines of Rosie's car.
BRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaapppppphhhh hhffffffttttttttt!
Rosie was leaning back in her seat in uproarious laughter. "Pfft, ahahahaha! Damn, Stinks, you're good!" After collecting herself, she added, "Alright, how about this? Let's both start at the same time, and see who can hold out the longest. Sound good?"
Stinky nodded. "Oh, you're on. On three?"
Rosie nodded as she started the countdown.
"1... 2... 3!"
BRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrraaaaaapppppphhhttt!
Brrrrraaaaaaaaapppppphhhhhfffftttttttttt!
Both girls collective gas continued to build up within the car, the force behind their flatulence enough to make the car rumble slightly from just how much gas they were able to output.
It was then, that suddenly, the car deployed both of it's airbags, stopping the girls and their gas cold as they found themselves sandwiched between their seats behind them and the airbags in front.
"Mmpph, hmhmhm!" Rosie said with her face pressed up the airbag. Her gaze was facing towards Stinky, and Stinky's towards her.
"W-Whoa-ho-ho!" Stinky exclaimed. "H-Hey, did we do that?!"
"Mmh, I think we did!" Rosie laughed. "I think my car's had about enough of our butts!"
"I've never seen an airbag actually go off in real life!" Stinky shouted in excitement. "Let alone on me!"
"Yeah..." Rosie sighed. "Definitely don't tell your parents about this part..."
"You kidding? This is totally our secret!" Stinky assured with a wink. "But, uh... how do we get out?"
"We gotta sorta wiggle our way out," Rosie answered. "Try opening your door, and I'll open mine, then scoot your way out - we gotta air out my car anyway."
"Sounds good," Stinky said. She then tried moving her hand towards the door handle, all without actually being able to see it. After a few seconds, she managed to grab hold of it and pulled it towards her, swinging the door open. She then shifted herself outward, and stumbled out of the car and onto her feet. Stinky looked behind her and on her toes, seeing that Rosie got out as well.
"Whelp, I'm gonna have to wait here and sort this out," Rosie said. "You head inside now, alright? I'll see you later, Stinks!"
Stinky waved at Rosie and said, "Yeah, see you later too, Rose!" She then turned and ran towards her house.
She opened the front door and ran straight for her room, eager to start playing her new game. Thankfully, her PS2 was backwards compatible with PS1 games, so that was all she needed to get started. She proceeded to turn the console on, took the disc labeled "Disc 1" out of the jewel case, and put into the system to get it started.
Stinky then sat down, crossed her legs, and got a Dualshock controller in hand, ready to start Breakwynd Journey.
Once she got to the main menu, Stinky--
