Chapter 5
"I want to sit by her!"
"No, how about I sit by her; after all you're a wimp."
"No I'm not! And
who are you calling a wimp Pinky?"
"Sure are! And don't
make fun of my hair!"
"No Way Pinky!"
"Yes way Mullet boy!" Two men fighting over who should sit by me.
"Look, Demyx and Marluxia you can both sit by me, one on the right and one on the left. How's that sound?" The nod sheepishly, embarrassed at the show they had put on. Xemnas and Saix were still steamed, Axel and Larxene were sitting across from each other, making googly eyes and probably playing footise under the table. Roxas had a stern look on his face and when he crossed his arms, that didn't help any. Namine was smiling and tried to hide her giggles behind a hand, that didn't succeed.
So with dinner done we were lead into a small parlor. Where an interesting game of strip poker was being held.
"Royal flush; lose the pants!" a blonde haired man said. The look on his face was smug; his light blue eyes twinkled with mischief.
"But, you cheated!" the other man wined, his brown hair was long and he must have already lost the shirt, now his pants.
"So sue me, lose the pants."
"What did I say about strip poker?" Roxas roars. Great, now they've gone and done it.
"Aw c'mon, he bet that he would win at any game of my choosing. Is it a crime to want to embarrass people?" the blonde haired man countered
"No but still, I don't like the game." Roxas seemed to think it over.
"Only because you lose all the time." The man smirked.
"Not now, Luxord!" Roxas warned, his face growing red.
"I bet you couldn't win any card game against me." Now the guy was just pushing his luck.
"Hey I'll play you, if it's any game I choose." I step up. Everyone is stunned. I'm guessing because no one has stood up to this 'Luxord' guy before.
"Ok Lassie, what's the game?" Ok, now I've got to come up with a game that I can play and definitely win at.
"How does BS sound to you?"
"BS?!"
"Yup, BS"
"Fine then, let's play." He begins to shuffle the deck and the game almost begins.
"Wanna make a bet before we begin?"
"Sure, why not make things more interesting?"
"If I win, you have to strip to your undies, and if you win…" Here he begins to laugh, as if no one has ever beaten him before.
"If I win, you have to go outside in your underwear and run three times around the castle."
"Fat chance of that happening"
"We'll see." Here is when the game officially begins.
First he throws down two cards and says
"Two queens," I look in my hand, and I see four.
"BS!" Axel is the official ref for this match; he comes up to the table, flips the two cards, an ace and a jack. He then takes them back, grumbling. I then throw down all four queens
"Four queens," He doesn't question it. The game pretty much goes on like this, he puts down two cards, and I call the bluff, then I strike back with the same card combination. He loses.
"Lose the clothes, and begin running Luxord!" The brown haired man snickers his green sparkling with a vengeance that was just served.
"But, I What?!" Was all he could stutter.
"Wow, he lost? Cool!" Demyx wows
"No more 'terror of the cards' hey Lux?" Marluxia giggles
"This is why I don't like your stupid games." Roxas groans placing his head in one hand and cradling it there. At first he does nothing, sitting across from me causing me to become worried, the look on his face is one of shock, then he pulls off his shirt. Namine, Larxene and I leave the room.
You could hear the ruckus outside as Luxord ran around the castle in his knickers three times. I was glad I won, if I didn't, I couldn't begin to think about what could have happened. I now sit in my room, I listen to the sound of pounding rain against the window my mind drifts to a meteor shower I had witnessed when I was a child. The conversation with Sora and that boy comes to mind.
