Lincoln was sitting in his room writing an essay for school when there was a quiet knock on the door.
He opens the door and sees Lucy standing there, "Hey Luce? What's up?" Lincoln greets.
"Do you know where the cards are?" Lucy asks.
"Cards? Like playing cards?" Lincoln wonders.
"Yeah. Rocky's downstairs and the two of us want to play some cards," Lucy explains.
"Alright, hold on," Lincoln starts to rummage through the drawers of his dresser.
When he finally finds the pack of playing cards, he hands them to Lucy.
"Here you go. And yes, they're all there, all 52 of them," Lincoln says.
"Thanks Linc, wanna play with us?" Lucy asks.
"I wish I could but I actually have homework. Sorry, say hi to Rocky for me," Lincoln explains.
"That's too bad. See you later Linc," Lucy steps into the hallway and closes the door behind her.
She's about to walk downstairs when she peeks inside Lisa's room. She sees Lisa laying on her bed with a bored look on her face.
"Lisa? You Ok?" Lucy wonders.
Lisa looks up at Lucy, "Of course I am. I'm just bored and I want to do something different besides experiments," Lisa sighs.
Lucy gets an idea, "Hey, um, my boyfriend Rocky is downstairs. Wanna play cards with us?" Lucy wonders.
Lisa gives a grin as she gets up from her bed, "Sure, I'm a fan of card games. I'd love to play," Lisa accepts the offer.
Rocky is casually sitting on the armchair in the living room when Lucy and Lisa walk down the stairs.
"Hello my little vampire. Is this one of your sisters?" Rocky says as he looks up at Lucy.
"Yep. Rocky this is Lisa. Lisa, Rocky," Lucy introduces.
"So you're Rocky Spokes. We finally meet," Lisa greeted as she extended her hand out. Rocky grins and shakes her hand.
"So, what game did you have in mind for us to play?" Lisa wonders.
"I was thinking Go Fish," Rocky suggested.
"Ooh, Go Fish sounds like fun," Lucy comments.
She sits on the floor facing the front door, Rocky sits across from Lucy facing the stairs, and Lisa sits next to Lucy with her back towards the dining room. After Lucy removes the jokers from the deck and tosses them aside, she hands the deck to Rocky.
"Rocky boo, would you be a dear and shuffle the cards for us?" Lucy begs.
"Of course princess," Rocky takes the deck and shuffles the cards.
After he shuffles them twice, Rocky also deals the cards facedown until he, Lisa, and Lucy each has 5 cards. He then places the rest of the deck in the middle. The trio picks up their cards and holds them in their hands.
"So remind me again, if we have cards that match, we put them down right?" Lisa asks.
"Yes," Lucy reminded.
Lisa removes two queens (the queen of diamonds and the queen of spades) from her deck and places them on the floor next to her. Now Lisa has three cards left in her deck.
"Ok, we'll go counter-clockwise. So I'll start, then Lisa, then Lucy," Rocky suggests. He looks down at his deck.
"Got any 6's?" Rocky asks around.
"Nope," Lisa says.
"Go Fish," Lucy says.
Rocky draws a card from the center deck and now he has 6 cards.
"Got any aces?" Lisa asks.
"I do," Lucy gives Lisa an ace of spades and Lisa removes an ace of clubs from her deck. She places both aces next to her. Now she has two cards in her deck.
"Got any 4's?" Lucy whispers.
"Ooh, sorry babe, I don't," Rocky says in disappointment.
"I don't either, so Go Fish," Lisa says.
Lucy draws a card from the middle deck. When she sees that the card she just drew was a 7 of diamonds, she places it next to her as she removes a 7 of hearts from her deck.
"Got any...queens?" Rocky asks.
"I do," Lucy says. Rocky places his queen of clubs next to him.
"Look at that, it's the queen of hearts," Lucy shows Rocky her card which was in fact the queen of hearts, "Off with your head!" Lucy taunts while waving her card in front of Rocky's face. (A/N: For those who don't know, Lucy referenced the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, who was known for famously saying "off with your head").
Rocky immediately understood the reference and lightly chuckled as he snatched the card from Lucy's hand.
"Hey lovebirds, does anybody have a king?" Lisa comments.
Lucy looks down at her cards, "Um...oh wait that's a jack, no I don't," Lucy says.
"I do, here's a king of clubs," Rocky removes his king from his deck and hands it to Lisa.
Once she removes her king of diamonds from her deck, she sees that she has one card left.
"Well would you look at that. Only one card left," Lisa says smugly.
Lucy and Rocky look at Lisa and drop their jaws at the fact that Lisa only has one card.
"What the heck? Where did all your cards go?!" Rocky gasps.
Lisa points to her two queens, "I had these two queens at the start of the game," She then points to the ace of spades that Lucy gave her, "And Lucy gave me this spade." Lisa gives Rocky a smirk, "And you just gave me a king."
After realizing he just made Lisa one step closer to winning, Rocky slaps the side of his head.
"This is why we should have more than 5 cards in this game," Lucy sighed in exasperation.
"Sorry Lucy, but those are the rules," Rocky sighs, "Anyway, it's your turn."
"Does anybody have a 9?" Lucy questions.
"Sorry love, Go Fish," Rocky sighs.
The card that Lucy draws from the middle deck is a jack of hearts, so she places it next to her as she removes a jack of diamonds from her own deck.
"Ok, does anybody have a 5?" Rocky inquires.
"Here you go," Lucy hands Rocky a 5.
"It's my turn, all or nothing," Lisa says, "Do either of you have a 3?"
Rocky looks at his deck and nervously bites his bottom lip after realizing that he does have a 3. He could either sacrifice his 3 and make Lisa win the game or he could lie and make her Go Fish.
"Uh...nope, Go Fish," Rocky lies.
Just as Lisa is about to reach for a new card, Lucy interrupts.
"Rocky bear...no cheating now," Lucy scolds while wiggling her finger.
Lisa looks over at Rocky and raises her eyebrow suspiciously. Rocky could tell that Lucy was giving him a disappointed look, despite the fact that her eyes were concealed.
"Ok, fine, I do have a 3," Rocky sighs while handing Lisa a 3 of diamonds.
After retrieving Rocky's card, Lisa places her remaining card on the floor in front of her.
"Looks like I win," Lisa comments.
"Rocky. Why did you lie?" Lucy wonders in disappointment.
"I'm sorry my little bat. I just wanted the game to go on a little longer," Rocky sighs as he looks down in shame.
Taking pity on her sister's boyfriend, Lisa gets an idea, "We can play another game, or even a couple more games," Lisa suggested.
"Sure, I'm down with that," Lucy states.
Rocky looks up at the two Loud sisters and smiles as he gathers the cards to shuffle them again so they can keep playing Go Fish.
