Friday night set upon the Apartment 4D residents. Jess and Nick cuddled on the couch, while Schmidt organized his cooking collection and Winston watched basketball on the television.

All of a sudden, a large noise came from Jess' room. One of the stands to her dresser cracked, causing the dresser to lean forward. Clothes kept spilling out. Nick and Jess soon rushed to her room. Nick could not believe it at first, but he did not anguish over it for long. He nodded to himself, remembering his ability to fix anything and everything. He soon fetched some duck tape and empty tic-tac boxes. Before long, the dresser stood upright once again.

Jess sighed, "Nick, that is not the way to fix a dresser!"

Nick answered in defense, "Jess, not right now. I got this."

Jess walked over to him. "Nick, I love you, but you know I can't trust your fixes. For now, we will use this solution, but I am going to call a repairman tomorrow morning."

"The repairman will not be able to outdo me!"

"Nick, you know, I have the right idea in mind."

"I got this!"

Hearing the loud noises, Winston and Schmidt came over to Jess' room to see what was the matter. They gave each other knowing looks, as it looked like Jess and Nick were already in one of their sparring matches.

Nick would not budge from the dresser. "Jess, let me do this. Don't always be a know-it-all."

Jess rolled her eyes, "I am not being a know-it all! Winston and Schmidt, you agree right?"

Before Winston and Schmidt could say anything, Nick gave them a look.

Jess saw this and quickly retorted, "Well, if we were playing a game of monopoly, you know that my knowledge and strategies would help me win. Cece would know. I have won many games of monopoly!"

Nick soon replied, "I have won many games too! Well then, I challenge you to a game of team monopoly! Schmidt, Winston, you are on my team."

Jess looked at Nick with fire in her eyes. She was not losing this tonight, "Well then, Cece, and Sadie are on mine!"

By the time everyone arrived, it was already 1 am. Regardless, Nick and Jess would not budge; they both decided that their team would be winning that day. The rules were to be as follows: There would be two teams, the first team consisting of Nick, Schmidt, and Winston, and the second team consisting of Jess, Cece, and Sadie. Each player would have their own token in the game, but the teams would share their money and properties together.

Jess looked over towards Nick and quickly replied, "Nick, you will be taking back what you said before and I will be calling a repairman after I win!"

Nick could not accept this, "Jess, that is not going to be happening. You need to accept my talent!"

Before Jess and Nick argued more, Winston put a quick stop to the fight. "This talk is not going to get the game going, let's start."

Schmidt nodded, "Yes! I am looking forward to naming all my future houses and hotels! I already have picked the best names"

Cece soon replied, "Yeah, yeah, let's see when that happens."

It was decided that whoever rolled the lowest would go first, which ended up being Sadie. "Yeah, new mother in the house tonight! I am beyond tired, but ladies, this game is ours! We are starting this game tonight!"

Jess gave Sadie a high five, "Sadie, this is what I needed to hear!"

Sadie smiled, "Of course, Jess! Us winning tonight will be my thank you for last week. Looking back at what happened last week, Jess questioned her behavior. Nick was there for her. He was there for Sadie's baby. He took on the task regardless of his experience. However, Jess was not easily going to let his comment earlier tonight slide. Her team was winning tonight.

Schmidt rolled his eyes, "Well, ladies, let's see what happens after this is all done and over."

Thirty minutes later, the game was already underway. The boy's team currently stood ahead of the girl's team, with Schmidt managing to obtain three properties in one turn. Schmidt acknowledged this luck due to his great financial knowledge and understanding of the world. Nick's team currently had 7 properties with Jess' team only having four properties.

Jess was not giving up, "Nick, you might be winning right now, but just wait, my team has the skills to win this! I have the knowledge to help us win!"

He smirked and showed Jess his new property, Atlantic Avenue. "Yeah, sure Jess!"

And so the game continued on.

Before long, it was already 4 am. Sadie was on the verge of falling asleep, Winston was continuously glancing at the basketball game, and Cece was focusing on Schmidt. Neither team was winning, with each team having the same amount of properties and a similar amount of money.

Jess sighed and looked over towards Nick. Jess realized that yes, Nick often more than once was a clown, but he still has managed to make it quite far despite his faults.

She walked over towards him, "Nick, maybe I was wrong. I should trust you and listen to your advice more."

Nick could not believe it for a minute. He soon returned back to reality and smiled. "Jess, I was in the wrong too. I should also listen to you more also." Hearing these words, Schmidt, Winston, Sadie, and Cece stared upon Nick in silence.

Jess sat next to Nick, and he soon put her around her. "Well, maybe we should put a stop to this game."

Jess nodded and replied, "I think it is time to be getting to bed. Well, maybe its time to play a different kind of game"

Nick smiled and accepted her invitation quickly, with both heading off to Jess' room quickly.

Schmidt sighed, "Well, their attitude changed rather quickly, but ah well, that's them."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Sadie started to get up, "Well, it's about time. I am going back to the baby. Until later everyone."

Winston saw himself yawning, "I think I am heading to bed too. I am hoping to score many hopes in my dreams tonight. Victory, here I come!"

Even though Cece was tired herself, she found herself starting to drift. Before long, she rested her head on Schmidt's shoulder. Schmidt smiled and soon fell asleep on the couch.
