A/N: Chapter 132 will be out soon. But I wanted to post this in-between. I know that some are getting sick of the whole saga with Turles and everything, so I wanted to take things in a new direction. Let me know if you'd prefer I continue with this or go back to the other stuff. :)

Chapter 131.5: The Family Plays UNO

In Bardock and Gine's den...

Gine slapped down a card onto the table with a mischievious smirk. "UNO!"

Turles chuckled, gripping his cards close. "Damn. I guess you got us there. Eh, Bardock?"

Bardock's eyebrow twitched in annoyance as he held his hand of 22 cards. "Yeah...fun game we're playing here..."

Gine stuck her tongue out. "Don't be a butt! We're having fun~"

Turles nodded. "I'm having fun~"

Gine watched intently. First, Turles set down a Blue 6 on top of her Blue 4. Bardock scowled. He glared at his hand, almost as if trying to intimidate it. Subtly, he inched his tail up to nudge his bandana off. However, Gine noticed this and quickly slapped it away. "No cheating! No future vision!"

Turles smiled. "Gotta play fair, big brother~"

Bardock sneered. He held his trembling hand over his massive fan of cards. "I..."

Gine beamed at him. "Take your time~"

Turles groaned. "But please hurry. I have to pee..."

Bardock sucked in a deep breath through his teeth. The room was still. And then...he set down a Red 6. Gine cocked her head. Bardock swallowed hard. Turles rocked back and forth, trying not to pee his pants. And then...

Bardock cried out. "DAMN IT!"

Gine laughed in victory. "GREEN 6! I WIN!"

Without a word, Turles jumped up and ran to the bathroom, his tail fluttering behind him. Gine continued to lorde her victory over Bardock until the younger brother returned. Once he had, Gine leapt into them both, wrapping her arms around their necks. "It's so great to have you both here~"

Bardock smiled warmly. "This is pretty nice~"

Turles chuckled. "It's like a dream I hope never ends~"

In the waking world...

Gine's eyes cracked open and she looked over at the pillow that she had grown accustomed to holding onto in the evening. She sighed deeply and turned over, staring up at the roof. Then she rolled over again to stare out at the twinkling stars of the night sky. The Gemini constellation was in full view.

Gine sighed and closed her eyes, picturing her husband and one of her dearest and most cherished friends both standing in front of her, beneath that lovely blue sky of this planet she had grown to love. "I...hope they're okay out there..."

And then Gine fell back asleep.

A/N 2: Happy April Fool's Day! We will be posting another chapter soon~
