Since both Tilly and Margot had the day off they wanted to spend it together. Currently, they were sat on Tilly's bed watching videos on youtube. "Wow, that guy's crazy," Margot said as they both burst out laughing. They had somehow stumbled upon challenge videos. They lay side by side on their stomachs with the laptop between them. Sure they could be out doing something but this, just sitting here beside her was perfect. They had planned to go out but both felt way too lazy. So they settled in with some snacks and drinks. When the video ended Tilly clicked on another one, "The Beanboozled Challenge." When the video ended Tilly turned to Margot and to her surprise said, "I want to try that."
"What? Why?" Margot had seen many of these videos and could never understand what the appeal was. Why would you want to eat candy that tasted like "stinky socks" or "boogers?" But in the short amount of time she had known Tilly, she knew she would never be able to say no to her. Especially when she looked at her like that.
"Can we go find some?" she asked sitting up on the bed.
"Where would we even find them?" She asked sitting up and grabbing the bowl of chips, placing it on the night table.
"We can try."
Margot sighed, "Alright we can look."
They headed down the street to the convenience store on the corner hoping to find it in the candy aisle. All the while Margot was hoping they wouldn' t be able to. She followed behind Tilly as she perused the aisles. She laughed when noticing that she was grabbing a few other candies as well. "Look they have them!" she said turning around and pointing to the boxes.
"Oh good," she said with a fake smile. Tilly made her way to the counter so they could pay and head back to her place. She had an armful of candy along with the jellybeans.
"You sure you have enough candy there?"
"You can never have enough," Tilly replied as they left the store.
Arriving back at her place Tilly sat on the couch in the living while Margot reluctantly sat down next to her. "Maybe I should get some drinks and something to spit them out in," Margot said as Tilly opened the box and took out the spinner.
"Do you want to go first?" Tilly asked as Margot came back in the room and placed their drinks on the coffee table.
"Uhh.. no. After you."
Tilly spun first and when the spinner landed on "peach or barf" she plopped it into her mouth and started chewing without even a second of hesitation. Margot waited, watching to see if she would spit it out. "Mmmmm peach." She handed the spinner over to Margot waiting for her to take her turn. Flicking the spinner she prayed for one of the options that were at least tolerable. But of course, she couldn't be that lucky. "Coconut or "rotten egg," Tilly read off the lid of the box as she held it out for Margot to take one. She popped it into her mouth and after the first bite, she could immediately tell it was "rotten eggs." She had never had a rotten egg before but she imagined this was exactly what it would taste like. It was horrible. Even after spitting it out the taste lingered. "Who thinks up these anyway?"
"Was it really bad?"
"It was awful." She replied handing the box back to Tilly.
They played for a while until they managed to try all the different flavors. Margot got a lot of the gross flavors while Tilly had only had good ones but she managed to talk Margot into one more spin. But this time Tilly wasn't so lucky when it landed on "dead fish." Margot could tell right away that she wasn't as lucky this time. She went from smiling to complete disgust as she quickly grabbed the bowl they had been spitting out the bad ones in. She then grabbed one of the napkins on the table and tried to scrub her tongue to get rid of the awful taste. "Uhhh..that's horrible."
"Told you."
"I'm sorry I made us do this, I really thought it would be fun." She completely regretted this decision. "Why would so many of these people want to play this game?"
"People do a lot of dumb things on the internet," Margot replied as she wrapped an arm around her girlfriend who was currently chugging her water.
