You don't always have to be playing the same game to share an experience ...
A favorite song plays on the iPod situated between them, snaking up the headphone cord and halving itself to deliver messages in mono to the two girls. Kate and Allie share the earbuds the same way they divvy a pack of Twix bars, a pair of friendship bracelets, or their best-kept secrets -- one apiece.
The audio seeps out of the minature loudspeakers, whispering the words they should sing to themselves and giving their feet a rhythm to tap to. Unpracticed, their voices are off-key, but the two hardly notice.

Yes. Precious to the power of infinity.

But not playing the same game makes it less fun...especially if it's Mario Kart DS, and the loudness of your group of around five or six almost gets you kicked out of the mall.
