Games In The Mess Hall

Part Two: Twister

Chapter One. Also Twister Queen?

Two days had passed since their epic game of Truth or Dare and people were still talking about it. The day after they actually had something to do. Morpheus had one of his 'I think I've found the One' visions and we were sent on a wild goose chase to look for this supposed One. Turns out he wasn't the One and he took the blue pill anyways. Then Apoc and Soni dragged his sorry butt back to his house and left him on the porch. When they were unplugged all the lights were turned off and the EMP was charged and ready. That could only mean one thing: Sentinels. At the end of it all, they didn't attack and we didn't have another problem for the rest of the day. The day after that is actually today so let's just continue the story…

"So, since we don't have anything to do today…" "If you're think what I think you're thinking forget it. We're not playing Truth or Dare again." "Trin, Trin, Trin, don't you know anything? I don't want to play Truth or Dare today, I want to play Twister!" Tank looked at Soni like she was crazy (which was almost true). "Twister? What's that?" "It's a game where…oh I can't explain it. I have to show you." "Then show us." Said Apoc just finishing his breakfast. "Come on guys, we don't have time to play games today." "What else have we got to do Trinity?" "Well I'm not going to be a part of it. I still can't get this stupid mustache off me. And I don't touch myself!" Trinity got up and left the mess hall. "What a party pooper!" said Soni as she pulled a large white mat out from under the table along with a spinner with colors on it. "When was that there?" asked Mouse looking under the table. "Just let it go Mouse, let it go." Dozer gave his friend a small punch on the shoulder.

With help from Tank, she moved the table out the way and unfolded the mat to reveal many colored spots on it and laid it on the floor. "Okay, the rules for Twister are very simple. Just spin the arrow and whatever color it lands on, you stand on it. When it's your turn again you spin and whatever color you land on, without moving from your original spot, go to that color using any part of your body except your feet. Also, when you try to move or you can't reach and you fall, you lose and have to wait until the game starts over to join back in," "Well, that doesn't sound too hard." "Thank you Apoc, would you like to go first?" "Uh, sure." He spins the arrow and it lands on yellow. "Okay now pick a yellow dot and go stand on it." "Alright." He picks a corner dot and stands on it.

"Alright, who's next?" "I'll go!" Mouse yelled grabbing the spinner from Soni. "Alright Mr. Grabby." He spun a red and moved a red dot in the middle of the mat. "I wanna go next." "Okay Tank." Tank spun a blue and moved to his choice dot. That continued on until it was Apoc's turn again. He spun a blue and of course the blue had to be at the other corner. "Hah, good luck with that." Said Cypher. He turned to the side and did a half cartwheel touching the blue dot with his leg and other arm sticking up in the air.

"Good luck spinning again." "Just see what you get Mouse." He spun a green which was right next to him. "Easy peasy." He put his left foot on the green dot leaving the right on the red. Tank spun a red and very skillfully moved to the dot that was right next to Soni's blue dot. "Don't accidentally kick me over Soni." "I won't Tank, at least I'll try not to." After Tank was Soni who spun a yellow and easily moved her foot over the yellow dot. Next was Cypher and he spun a red, Switch a green, Dozer red, and Morpheus blue. Now that things were getting a little complicated it was now a lot more fun to play. "Crap, Soni I can't reach the spinner." "Try reaching with your foot Apoc." "I can't." "This is all part of the fun. The more complicated, the better." Apoc tried to reach the spinner and fell flat on his stomach. "Aha, Apoc, you're out!" "Damn!" "Don't worry about it."

"Since you're out Apoc, can you spin for me?" "Yeah, I guess so." He spun a red for Mouse and through sheer flexibility he reached it. "Je-sus Mouse how did you do that?" asked Cypher amazed. "You know, I'm not sure, but it's really painful." "I don't doubt that a bit." Apoc spun a yellow for Tank but he couldn't make it and fell on his face." "You okay Tank?" He looked at Switch with a bloody lip. "I think I bit my lip." "Yeah, you kinda did." "Mhmm, nice." "Alright, my turn!" This time Tank spun for Soni. "Blue? Damn how am I going to reach that?" "I bet you can't reach it." "What will you give me if I do Apoc?" "If you can get to that blue dot at the corner, the next time someone takes the blue pill, I won't make you carry him by yourself." "Fair enough." She turned her body completely around and landed her right arm gracefully on the blue dot in the corner. "You better make good on that deal Apoc!" "I don't believe it!" "Twister Queen I assume?" "Damn straight Cypher." "Thought so.'

Tank spun for Cypher. "Okay Cypher, if you can reach that yellow dot in the middle with your left arm, I'll give you that naked picture of Trinity." "Hello!" He stretched with all he could and made it to the dot. "Damn, I thought you wouldn't make it." "Where's the picture Tank?" "Under my bed. I'll get it later." "Switch, if you can get your right foot on that red dot next to Soni's hand I'll give you back that gun that you thought you lost but I actually took and keep under my mattress." "It was you?!" "He, he yeah." She turned over so her butt was in the air and moved her foot to the right dot. "Damn, I just can't win!" "Okay Dozer, if you can get this, I'll just be surprised and give you everything I own." "Hurry Apoc, I'm in pain!" yelled Mouse. "Okay, the green dot on the other side of the mat. Hah!" Long story short, he didn't make it and while falling knocked Morpheus from under his feet. "Damn you Dozer!" "Sorry." "Oh, it's okay…hand hug?" "Um no."

It was down to Soni, Mouse, Switch, and Cypher. "Okay, now things are going to be really hard. Especially since Mouse is sprawled out in the middle of the mat leaving us basically now room to move around." Said Soni aggravated. "Sorry." "Alright, who's turn is it?" "Well Dozer just went and Morpheus fell so I guess it starts over with Mouse." Cypher said trying to turn his body around. "Thank God." "Alright Mouse, go to the green dot to the right of you." Said Apoc. "Wait!" yelled Soni. "SONI!" Apoc, grabbed that pot and fill it with Goop." "What?" "Do it!" While he did that Soni took off her boots with one of her hands. "Take your boots off!" The three did what they were told. 'Now what do I do with this?" "Pour it on us." "O-kay." "What are you doing Soni?" "Making this more fun!" Apoc poured the sticky mess all over the four players and on the mat. Things were getting a bit more complicated.
