Challenge: Playful
Timeframe: Somewhere after At All Costs
Ships: Rose/Mack
Summary: "You're going to lose her if you don't stop playing games."
She saw the two of them together and wanted to cry. Of course he had fallen for her. She was pretty, smart, and carefree – the perfect girl for Mack. Rose supposed she should have been happy for him – he deserved to be happy. If Ronny was the one he found happiness with then who was Rose to come between them?
She watched from around the corner as the red and yellow rangers played foosball, laughing and smiling. Any second now they were sure to give into their teenage hormones and start making out. Her heart ached as she watched.
"Did you tell her yet?" Ronny asked suddenly. "Because I thought I told you if you don't act soon someone else is going to snatch her up and you'll never know what the two of you could have had."
"I know, Ronny," Mack murmured. "I'm reminded of that every single time I see her with someone else. I just haven't been able to find the courage yet."
He scored a goal against Ronny, who was standing with her hands on her hips glaring at him. "Mack, you're going to lose Rose if you don't quit playing games."
