Thank you so much to TrinityFlowers of Memories, k2ismyhomedog, and sonnycentral for the awesome help :). If it wasn't for you guys this chapter won't be as good as it is now. :)
Sonny
Chad
(those are just so that you won't get confused later)
"I dunno." I said as I looked around the room. Then something caught my eye… "How about… scrabble?"
I looked at him with hopeful eyes.
"Scrabble?" Chad looked at me incredulously.
"Please." I put up my puppy dog pout.
"Nooooo." Chad whined.
"Pretty pretty please." I said I could feel my eyes watering, adding effect to my puppy dog pout.
"Fiiiine." Chad said defeatedly.
"Yay!" I said as I stood up and grabbed the scrabble board that was tucked up at the shelf.
Chad groaned and propped himself up to a sitting position. "Why does she even have a Scrabble board on her guest room?"
I shrugged as I placed the board on the bed, setting it up.
Chad sat up, faced me and the board, and then grabbed those things where you put the letters in. Sonny shook the bag of letters, re scrambling it and then placing it in between them. She also grabbed the letter containers and then faced Chad.
"A-Z?" I asked him. He nodded. I grabbed a single letter from the bag and Chad followed after me. Both of us glanced down on our letters and I grinned. We placed them in the board and looked at his letter. J. I grinned as I looked at my letter. E. I'm first. I said happily as he placed both of our letters bag to the bag.
I randomly picked out 7 letters and then he did the same. I looked at my letters.
APSKIYS
It was fairly good.
"How about this… for every word… a memory or what you think when you read or hear that word." I said as I started to arrange my letters on my container.
"Yeah, yeah sure." Chad said as he looked at his own 7 letters.
"Who's keeping score?" I asked him.
"You." Chad said without even looking up.
"Okay…" I said as I grabbed the pencil and score sheet and placed it beside me. I switched into a much more comfortable position, in other words, lying down on my stomach, facing the board with my container in front of me, Chad looked at me for a while before shrugging and then turning back to his letters. I hugged the bathrobe closer to me, savoring its warmth and then started to place my letters
S
K
I
P
S
"Okay so that's 1 point for 's', 5 for 'k', 1 for 'I', 3 for 'p', and since the other 's' is on double letter score that makes it 2 point. So that makes it 12, and since I started first I get to use the double word score in the middle." I mumbled to myself. I took the pencil and wrote my score down. "Sonny, 24"
I reached out to my bag and randomly picked 5 letters. DNDUA.
I checked and arranged all of my letters. AADDNUY.
Great. What would could I make with that?
"Okay, so a memory or thought about your word?" Chad asked as he rearranged his letters.
"Well… hmmm… I dunno.. I just skip a lot when I'm happy." I shrugged as I waited for Chad to place his letters.
"Ah." Chad said as he placed his letters, U P E R, right next to my S at the bottom of the word, giving him access to the double word score.
"Okay, so 1 point for my 's', 1 point for 'u', 3 points for 'p', 1 point for 'e', 1 point for 's', and with the double word score that's… 14 points." I mumbled as I wrote down: Chad, 14.
"10 points lower." Chad groaned. "Oh well, I'm still super awesome."
I rolled my eyes and we continued our game.
Cow "We have lots of cows back home."
Jets "Have you even ridden on a private jet?"
Phone "I have two phones." "I've always wondered why…" "So you're admitting that you're were wondering about me? "No… just your phones."
Star "There's lots of stars in Wisconsin, it's so beautiful."
Kit "I have an emergency disguise kit with me always… well in my car."
Home "Sometimes I feel like going back home to Wisconsin."
Soda. I just placed soda, which is starting from the 's' from 'star'.
"I feel like having some soda right now." I muttered as I grabbed 3 random letters.
"Go get some." Chad said as he frowned at his letters.
"No." I said as I rearranged my letters again.
"But I thought you wanted a soda?" Chad asked as he re-rearranged his letters
"I know, but how do I know that you won't switch your letters or look at mine when you're gone?" I asked him suspiciously.
"Do you really think I would do that Sonny? Do you really?" He asked, looking me in the eyes.
"How about you tell me the answer to that?" I asked him, raising an eyebrow.
He sighed, "C'mon, let's go get your soda." He said as he stood up.
I giggled, "Yay." I said as I followed him out of the room.
We walked towards the kitchen and I took a can of soda while Chad sat on the stools. I nodded at Chad so that they could go back to the game. I walked towards the hallways but before I could even get past the breakfast table when I turned around, mid sip, when I saw Chad himself, get his foot stuck on the side of the stool and fall face first to the ground.
I couldn't help myself I started laughing so hard. Then he started to stand up, brushing himself off but still somehow managing to slip I laughed harder. Then I could feel the soda I was just drinking seeping coming out of my nose.
"Ow. Hhaha. Ow." I placed the soda can on the table and put one hand on my nose and the other on my now aching head. I was still laughing hard.
"Stupid cute." I heard Chad mutter as he walked by me and walked straight back to the bedroom. He said it in such a low voice that I'm not even sure if that's what he said.
I followed him back to the bedroom and I placed the soda on the side table and then went back to my old position. "Okay, Chad, your turn." I said as I looked over my letters again.
"Okay." he mumbled as he placed his letters on the board.
Damit. "Damnit." He muttered under his breath.
"Damit… is not a word Chad." I said as I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Yes, it is." Chad pouted.
"D-a-m-i-t is not Chad. It's spelled with 2 m's." I rolled my eyes.
"No it's not. It's only spelled with one m." He challenged.
"No, it's spelled with 2. You could check the dictionary if you want." I said simply. He looked at me for a while, as if weighing his chances, and just gave up and took his letters back.
I smiled a smug smile as he placed 3 other letters beside the 'd'.
A R K
"Dark. It's dark outside." He muttered.
After that we went on.
Cat "I used to own a cat you know. I named her Rae."
Trip
Explode (My word. Got a triple letter word score with that. Ha! Way more than 50 points.)
And a lot more words…
I'm pretty sure it's way past midnight by now, we've been playing a lot and the bag of letters is almost empty.
I yawned as I placed my head on my arms. It was Chad's turn and he's taking forever. He keeps raising his hand and puts it down, and it goes on forever.
I closed my eyes for a while, just for a while…
But the darkness overtook me and I fell into a sweet slumber.
Chad's POV
I sighed. I have to do this. I looked at Sonny's last word. "Oval." I took a deep breath. Id otn even know why I'm so worried about this. It's not that hard to think of a memory or thought to this word.
Whatever… here goes nothing.

I looked up slightly at Sonny and saw that she was breathing evenly, her eyes closed, fast asleep. I smiled softly at her. Well that's a way of avoiding questioning.
I carefully picked up the board and cleaned up as quietly as I can. The sound of tiles hitting each other was unavoidable, but it didn't seem to bother her much. Soon enough I have everything cleared up and the box was back to where it originally was.
I looked at her again and smiled softly. I walked towards her and carried her bridal style. I placed her head into the soft pillows carefully and I tucked her in.
She smiled in her sleep as she rolled over to a more comfortable side.
"Good night Sonny." I whispered as I kissed her forehead. I walked out of the room and switched off the lights, leaving the door slightly closed. I walked back to the sofa and made a makeshift bed for me.
I lay down on my makeshift bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Ah, scrabble. Such a word-y game. haha.
