The five of them took turns to roll the dice to see what order they would go in.

Darwin rolled and got a three, Nicole got a four and Richard a two.

"Just us two left to roll. Whoever gets higher will have an advantage the whole game."

Anais did her roll and got a five.

"A five huh?" She grinned. "Guess you need a six or you'll be at the biggest disadvantage out of all of us. Good luck." She chuckled.

He frowned at her before picking up the dice.

"Come on, gimme a six, gimme a six!"

He closed his eyes and made his roll.

His opened his eyes and his ears immediately lowered. He'd gotten a one.

"Ooh, a one. Too bad. The game hasn't even started yet and you're already losing. This doesn't look good for you..."

She giggled.

He looked away from her annoyed.

He looked at Darwin next to him with a worried look.

"It's alright, you still have plenty of time to turn things around."

"I hope so..."

They begun the game. Gumball was doing decent but Anais was doing slightly better, her teasing him and rubbing it in his face the whole time.

Eventually he ended up managing to pass her.

"Yes!" He grinned. "Not so confident now are you?"

She simply smiled and moved her piece backwards.

He raised his eyebrow confused.

"Wha-hey! Mom, Gumball's cheating, he just moved my piece back!" She said pretending to be upset.

"Wait what!? No I didn't, you did!"

Nicole rolled her eyes. "Gumball don't start cheating please, we were having a great time until now."

"But I didn't-"

"Don't start denying it, Anais caught you red-handed."

"But I-"

Nicole moved Anais piece back then moved Gumball's to last place.

"What!? Why did you move mine back?"

"If you're going to cheat then you can move back to last place."

"But-"

"No buts, you only have yourself to blame. Now, stop complaining.'

He turned to glare at Anais.

"Not so confident now are you?" She said smirked, imitating him

He scowled at her and they continued to play.

Gumball had caught back up and was in the middle, only a few squares behind Anais.

He rolled his dice and got a six, allowing him to move ahead of her.

"Yes!"

She knocked the dice off the table with her elbow.

"Oh, sorry, I was just stretching. My bad."

She grinned at him silently laughing.

"You guys saw I rolled a six, right?"

"Sorry honey, It got knocked off before I saw." Nicole replied.

Anais shrugged. "Oh no, guess you'll have to re-roll." She said pretending to sound upset.

He sighed and picked up the dice, rolling it again. This time he got a two.

"Oof, a two. Unlucky." She tutted.

Gumball clenched his fist under the table. What was up with her? Why was she being such a jerk to him? What had he done to her?

They continued their game, Gumball manging to get ahead of Anais.

As they played they heard shouting outside.

They turned to see Mr Robinson having an argument with Gary.

"Poor fellow, wonder what he did to upset Mr Robinson." Nicole pondered as she watched.

Whilst everyone was distracted Anais moved her piece forwards.

Gumball saw her moving it. "Hey! Stop cheating!"

"What do you mean? I didn't do anything!:

"Mom, she moved her piece ahead!"

"No I didn't! Why...why would you accuse me of something like that?" She sniffed and teared up pretending to be upset.

"Oh sweetheart, it's okay, I know you didn't cheat."

"But she did! I saw her move her piece!" Gumball said starting to get frustrated.

"Gumball, don't try it. We both know Anais wouldn't cheat like that. She plays fairly unlike some of us." She glared at him.

"But..I...oh forget it."

Anais held back laughter as she grinned at him. "Worried yet? I would be if I were you..."

He crossed his arms and looked away.

They continued to play, Anais continuing to taunt him to his annoyance.

He managed to get a spur of lucky turns and landed on a moutain which let him climb up to right near the end.

He started to grin and get excited. He might actually win, he might actually beat her!

He rolled and the dice was about to land on a six, which would let him win but Anais thumped the table knocking it over to a two instead.

"Wha-hey!"

"Oh oops, I was just adjusting my chair and hit the table. It was an accident, honestly."

"No you weren't! You did that on purpose!"

"Woah, hey, Gumball, calm down. I'm sure she didn't mean it, did you?" Richard turned to her.

"No, it was an accident, honest." She did her cute wide eyed face and spoke in a cutesy voice.

"See, she didn't mean it!"

He gritted his teeth. "Whatever..."

He moved two forwards...right onto a dragon which took him back to the beginning.

His ears fell and he teared up as his heart shattered. He'd lost. He actually lost. There was no way he could win now. She'd won the bet

He was going to have to...have to miss the trip.

"Oh and you were so close too, how awful."

Anais held back laughter as she grinned at him.

Gumball was miserable, not even caring about how well he did. He just rolled and moved his piece not paying attention at all. All he could think about was the trip he was no longer going on, the one he had been so looking forward to and now it was cruelly ripped away from him. By his sister of all people. How could she do this to him?

Suddenely he heard Anais getting excited. He turned look at saw she was about to win, she only needed one more roll and it was her turn.

She turned to look at Gumball and grinned. "Well, you tried at least but looks like I win. Oh well, sucks for you. Hey, you know what might cheer you up? You can come watch some Daisy the Donkey with me once we're done! I mean, you might as well get a taste of what you're in for." She winked.

Gumball narrowed his eyes and clenched his fist.

She giggled and made her final roll, moving her piece and winning the game.

"Whew, that was a great game! I guess you can forget about packing your bags cause you aren't going anywhere." She laughed.

Gumball began to shake, tearing up as he began to let out a deep growl. He glared at her as she laughed. Right now he felt nothing but hatred towards her. He hated, no despised her! How could she be so cruel to him? How could she sit there and continue to rub salt in the wound even after she'd won?

"Honey?"

He turned to see Nicole crouched down looking at him, her ears lowered as she saw how upset he was.

She hugged him. "Aww, sweetheart, don't cry. You did your best and had fun and that's elehat counts. It doesn't matter if you won or not, you still did great and I'm still very proud of you."

"Yeah Gumball, it's only a game. It doesn't matter." He heard Anais snickering.

That was it. He completely snapped. He stood up pushing Nicole away.

"SHUT UP! SHUT YOUR FREAKING TRAP, YOU ANNOYING FREAKING BRAT! YOU KNEW HOW MUCH I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT TRIP! YOU KNEW HOW MUCH IT MEANT TO ME, BUT YOU WENT OUT OF YOUR WAY TO TAKE IT FROM ME, TO HURT ME IN THE CRUELLEST WAY POSSIBLE!" He began to yell, not caring how loud he was.

Anais' eyes widened and she slowly moved her paws over her mouth.

Tears streamed down his face as he yelled "YOU BLACKMAILED ME, YOUR OWN BROTHER, TO FORCE ME TO AGREE TO A BET YOU KNEW I DIDN'T WANT TO DO, THAT YOU KNEW I WAS TERRIFIED OF LOSING, AND YOU CHEATED AND MANIPULATED YOUR WAY TO VICTORY AND FOR WHAT?"

Nicole tried to calm him down but he just pushed her off. He was too full of rage to stop.

He slammed his paws down onto the table sending pieces flying everywhere. "WHAT DO YOU GET OUT OF DOING SOMETHING SO NEEDLESSLY MEAN? WHAT COULD I POSSIBLY HAVE DONE TO YOU TO DESERVE TO BE BACKSTABBED LIKE THAT!? HOW COULD YOU SIT THERE AND BE SO COLD AND SPITEFUL AND TAKE SOMETHING SO IMPORTANT AWAY FROM ME LIKE THAT?"

Anais began to shake and tear up. She'd never meant for things to go like this. She'd gone too far.

"and do you wanna know what the worst thing was...? You enjoyed doing it. You enjoyed, teasing me, mocking me, twisting the knife and making it hurt as much as possible. How could you get enjoyment out of that? Do you have any idea how much you hurt me? How betrayed I feel...and you found it fun!?"

She felt slightly scared that he had suddenely lowered his voice. She'd never seen so upset.

"I thought you cared about me. I thought you loved me, but I guess I was wrong. You're nothing but a manipulative, arrogant, stuck up, cold hearted brat and it's no wonder you don't have any friends! Infact, I'm glad you don't have any! I'm glad you're alone! You don't deserve friends! You don't deserve to be happy! They don't deserve to be backstabbed and betrayed like I was!"

This comment especially hurt her, not just because of what he'd said about her. She held back tears as she realised how badly she must have hurt him for him to say something so mean to her.

"Don't ever expect me to do anything for you again, because as far as I'm concerned we're done. I don't want anything to do with you."

"G-G-Gum-b-ball I-I-I..."

"Don't talk to me.I don't want to hear your excuses. There's no excusing what you did."

He stormed off upstairs and she heard their bedroom door slam shut.

She shook as tears began streaming down her face. Oh my...oh my god..what have I...what have I done...
