Laura's POV

Tonight Haille had a new friend staying the night for what she called a, "friendship extravaganza."

…

Yeah don't ask. But anyways since Haille has a new friend over, everyone must be on their best behavior… or gone. _

So I kicked the countries out of the house! I didn't trust them to behave themselves. But onto Haille's new friend! Her name is Sydney. She's taller than Haille (not too hard since Haille if 5'1¼") has short brown hair, wears glasses, and has grey/blue eyes. And she's quiet! I love her already! That and she's calm, a bit monotone, and blushes easily; but that just makes her all the more interesting when she's talking about killing people, or torturing them; which is very different to me since I can't contain my joy when I talk about killing. That and she has a thick Australian accent.

Welcome to the family, Sydney! ... turn back now before it's too late! Hurry! HURRY! Oh too late. Sorry but you're screwed now, I thought. Poor Sydney doesn't know what she's walked into. Anyway we just ate a bunch of junk food and watched a chick flick. So we're bored.

"Hey guys, wanna play risk?" I asked them holding up the game.

I got a glare from Haille, and a smirk from Sydney… so "yes" and "yes"!

And thus I set up the game!

For those of you who don't know what risk is, it is a board game. On the board is the map of the world. There are countries on cards. Everybody gets an even amount of countries, and soldiers. You can place your soldiers on any of your countries, and your objective is to rule the world. You use dice to fight for countries, and you can only invade countries right next to yours.

Let's skip a bit into the game (cause this game can take a while)

Time: 9:14pm

Haille shouted across the table, "Laura! I want England's vital regions. Just hand them over already!"

"Never," I responded, "England's vital regions are mine! Just like Russia's!"

"Well at least I have Italy's vital regions," Haille tried to throw back.

Sydney decided to join in our little conversation in her emotionless voice, "I have Iceland's vital regions. By the end of this game you'll both be bowing down to me and calling me your queen, mates."

I rolled my eyes at her, "Sydney, I'm going to win. I have all the countries and territories in Australia, Asia, Africa, South America and North America. And all you have is Iceland and Switzerland. I will admit they're both bad ass. But up again over half of the world? Sorry but you're screwed."

Sydney glared and said, "I could have France if I wanted… it's just… it's France."

I bursted out laughing at that comment! She doesn't even know! And yet she-! I can't help but laugh. I laughed even more when I saw Haille hang her head in shame at Sydney's comment.

Haille suddenly jumped up, pointed a finger at Sydney, and said, "That's it! With France under my command, you shall be raped!"

"oh really Haille?" I asked her.

She crossed her arms over her chest, and replied with a smirk, "really."

…

I gave her a small smirk and asked, "And just how do you plan to do that, now that I've conquered France's vital regions?"

Haille's smirk fell as she looked at the board, back to me, back at the board, back to me, back to the board, and finally back to me. Before she replied, "cause I still have Italy! RETREAT!"

I looked at my two friends and said, "sorry but I'm ending this game."

And with that I took over the rest of the world… or the rest of Europe really.

"Sorry Sydney. It's nothing personal. I just really hate losing… now that I rule the world! First thing on the agenda is… obliterate the countries France and Turkey. Oh Hohohon," I laughed.

Suddenly France jumped in (when did he get here?) and shouted, "no! not my precious Paris!"

Haille jumped up and kick France in the shin while shouting, "what the hell, Francis?! Didn't we kick you and the other guys out for tonight?!"

Spain walked in, wearing a large grin, with a snickering Prussia.

"Si, chica. You did. But we were curious as to why we were kicked out for the evening. Now we see it was due to a new friend," Spain told us.

Sydney walked over to me and whispered in my ear, "can I kick the French guy?"

I looked at her and said aloud, "ask Haille. He's her "territory"."

She went over and asked Haille… and guess what happened?

"NO!"

Thus started a beautiful friendship with Sydney…. Hey where's Corrie?

"okay, who was stupid enough to challenge Laura, a soldier trained in strategy, at risk?" Corrie asked from the doorway.

Found her, I thought.
