Hiya, my second fanfic that's not related to Aftershock in any way.

Me: I know how to play blackjack!

Seemore: Blackjack but not poker?

Me: Yep. Played blackjack at my cousin's boyfriend's 21st. And at my holiday house. I won all the time!

Seemore: Really?* raises eyebrow*

Me: Okay.. I let them win a few rounds.

Seemore: Pffft!

Me: Disclaimer anyone.

Gizmo: GrathLongfletch does not own Teen Titans or the Hive Five. If she did, we would all be in serious trouble by now.

Me: *growls*

Gizmo*sweat drop* And there would be a sixth season!

Me: And?

Gizmo: There would be new bad guys and we wouldn't be frozen.

Me: Good boy *pats head*

Kyd: *Pokes arm*

Me: What now? Can't kill the T-Rex again.

Kyd:*Frowns*

Me: Why do you insist on playing Lara Craft: Anniversary?

Kyd:*shrugs*

Billy: Cause he loves it and she's awe-some. Start!

The only sound heard in the room was the breathing of all the players. Nobody moved a muscle as Kyd rearranged his set of cards. Jinx was scanning his face for any sign of emotion, there was none. Kyd showed no signs of victory. Hate him right now, Billy thought as he ground his teeth together. On the table were the cards in this order: Ace, King, 10, 8 and ace again. Billy only had a 9 and a 7. Seemore was watching intently with Gizmo mirroring him on the other side of the tabled. Whenever someone moved, both of their heads would follow in sync. They even blinked at the same time. Kyd narrowed his eyes as he knew he would win. He had an ace and a king. Sweet victory is mine, he thought to himself. Smiling evilly, Kyd stared at Billy. Billy always knew that look. It was a look of dominance. The three watchers held their breath as the King of Poker put down his winning hand.

"Nooooo!" Billy threw his cards down and fell to his knees.

Kyd smirked and took Billy's stolen PSP, R300, his watch, and his Nikes.

"I'm lucky I didn't choose to play this night. I would have lost everything," Jinx shook her head at Kyd.

"How do you manage to be the best, when you only learnt how to play poker last week?" Kyd shrugged.

Private Hive walked into the room. Looking at Billy crying on the floor and Kyd with all his things, he smiled.

"You know you have to stop doing this to people Kyd. They need their things. Now give it all back." Kyd grumbled as he walked back to Billy and gave all his stuff back.

He got a hug for his trouble. Trying to squirm out of his grip, Kyd noticed a flash of a camera. Looking up, he saw Mammoth with a Sony and smiling like the Cheshire Cat. When he was put down, he stalked all the way to Mammoth in a menacing way. Before he could do any damage, Jinx intervened and suggested going to a casino. Kyd quickly obliged because he could go and gamble.

So when they were all in their civvies, they all trooped out to the casino. When it was in sight, Kyd ran the rest of they way and rushed inside. Sighing, the rest followed him in.

Gizmo was too young to join them, so he dominated the kids side of the casino instead, when that was over he played online poker in the bathroom cubicle so people wouldn't ask too many questions.

Kyd was in heaven. First he went to the slot machines where he won over a 1000 rand. He then went to play poker after Jinx had to literally drag him away. They stayed there until they were kicked out. Kyd won all of the poker games and another 4000 for a bonus. He then went to grab Gizmo out of the bathroom and ran off the premise with him when the manager threatened to call the police.

"We need food," Seemore mumbled as they walked down the street.

"Let's go to that fancy restaurant," they all stared at him.

"You've got to make reservations for that," Gizmo pointed out.

"Who said you can't make it 5 minutes before," Kyd smiled evilly.

They all trooped into the restaurant and asked the manager if they could use the phone. When set up, Kyd set his plan into motion. Dialling the number it was answered.

"Good evening. La Apatite restaurant, how may I help you?" the manager then answered the phone.

Trying not to laugh, Kyd looked at him and replied.

"I would like to reserve a table for 7 please, outside if you could," the manager took the information down.

"And who might I be speaking to?" Kyd smiled.

"Mr. Wyks,"

"How do you spell that sir?" Kyd laughed silently while watching the man.

"W. Y. K. S," he was on the verge of cracking up then and there.

"At what time sir?" Gizmo was almost on the floor he was cracking up and fast.

"At…" Kyd looked at the clock, it was 12:20.

"12:25 if you may?" the manager took this down.

"Do you need directions?" Jinx doubled over.

"No thank you. We'll be there in a second," Kyd put down the phone.

He walked over to the manager and told him that they were the Wyks and had come for their reservations. The manager nodded his head and lead them to an outside table. Kyd thanked him and sat down. They ordered their food and cracked up when they had paid and left.

"H-how d-did y-ou k-keep a-a str-straight f-face through the whole thing Kyd?" Billy collapsed on the couch and fell off due to the laughing.

"Easy. Just like Poker," they all stared at him.

"How can it be just like Poker?"

"I just imagined that he was the dealer and I was gonna loose. Duh!" he started playing on the game cube.

They all exchanged glances. Shaking their heads, Seemore, Billy and Private Hive sat down and joined him. Jinx decided to go to sleep, Mammoth watched them beat each other and Gizmo decided to start on his new invention.

The one thing that they would always remember is who made Kyd play Poker in the first place. They blamed Private Hive for creating the gambling monster, he shook his head and told them of all the advantages.

"What advantages?" Jinx folded her arms.

"He can win games for us and we'd be rich!" the rest of the Five-minus Kyd- pondered on this for the rest of the week, and couldn't find anyway to destroy his point.

"Trial?" Seemore said at last.

"Trial," the rest agreed.
