英訳:
Two students are coming home from school. Because it's Friday, they're making plans for the weekend.
A: I need to study this weekend.
B: You're kidding! Why? Study? I just bought a new computer game!
A: But there's a test...
B: You really should come over, you know.
A: Well, ok. Is it ok if I come over about 7 tomorrow?
B: Yeah that's fine. See you tomorrow.
The next day
B: Hey A, do you wanna play the new game?
A: Uh, what's it called?
B: "Spirit Ghost"
A: Whoa, cool!
B: For the first level, you're supposed to gather all the keys. But, since it's hard, I've failed it every time so far.
A: Wait a minute... the first level is *hard*? That's impossible. Lemme try for a minute.
B: O...k....
5 minutes later:
A: Alright, it's done! To the next level!
B: Wha..? How...how did you do that in only 5 minutes?
A: Lots of practice, my friend.
B: Ugh, just go back home and study.

Thank you so much autechre! :D
It means a lot to hear that.
For またあす, I thought it sounded like slang or something a boy would say so I figured it was appropriate. It makes me think of young kids using slang just because it's "cool" or "in". Do people use またあす?

面白かった!
ところで、「また明日」は確かに女性は「また、あした」ですね。お仕事とかで男性は「あす」というとおもいますが。。

Ah, coco, that's what I get for trying to use fancy dialect >> I mess it up even worse. I was trying to say おおきに instead of おだいじに but forgot it. But hey, I learned another new expression.
The more I try the more I mess up. Thank you very much as always.

As you may already know, the meanings of both あす and また are "tomorrow" and "again" respectively.
So you can use not only またあすbut also あすまた.
With regard to the usage of words or phrases, it all depends.
You would sometimes give a blunt impession to your conversation partner by only saying またあす。

Hey, great job! Actually, I know what you are trying to do by this. You can catch the feelings of natural conversation. Very smart!

会話ではいろいろな表現が可能なので、覚えるのが難しいと思うのですけれど、atylmoさんは、かなりいろんな言い方を知っていることが伝わります。面白かったです。

It's kind of embarrassing to look at this long list of corrections ^^;
Thank you everyone. I'll try to go over them.
