/Author's Note: Bleeh… school is so boring. I really hate Trigonometry. I hate math in general. But I do love Still Not King for being my first reviewer! Also thanks to everyone else who alerted and favorited. It's always lovely to see those emails in my inbox. Yes, candy land was an actual theme in my list. This was too fun to write.

Candy Land

"Hah! I'm ahead of you again!"

"That's not fair, you cheated!"

Taichi gave his opponent a childish pout and stubbornly said, "I did not!"

"Yes, you did! You were supposed to go past the chocolate bridge Tai, you aren't suppose to take it unless you land on the chocolate picture!" Sora yelled at him as she stabbed said aforementioned icon. However, in the process of venting out her impending anger at the goggle headed boy, she had unfortunately knocked down their pieces and therefore, ruining the game. (1)

Taichi let out an anguished wail upon seeing the fallen pieces. "Sooora! You knocked down all of the pieces! Now how are we supposed to finish the game?"

Sora let out a snort and retorted back, "Like it matters! You were cheating anyway. It wasn't a fair game to begin with!"

"I told you I wasn't cheating!"

"Yes, you were!"

"No, I wasn't!"

"Yes you were!"

"No, I wasn't!"

"What is going on out here?" Taichi's younger sister and the bearer of light, Hikari, came storming out of her room with a scorching look that did not compliment her petite face. Both Taichi and Sora, for once in their lives, fell silent at the young girl's outburst, shocked at the simple fact that she had shouted at them like that.

When it seemed a likely fact that neither of two would answer her, Hikari glanced down to see what they were arguing about. Her face fell immediately when she saw the vibrant children's board game displayed across the floor between the duo.

"You two are arguing… over Candy Land?" She said slowly with unbelief at first- the fact that they were playing the game, and two- that they were arguing over it! "Aren't you two old to be playing this anyway? You two are way too competitive if you're arguing over a children's game!"

Taichi just looked at his sister with a drab look and simply replied, "Hikari, you are never too play candy land, the game is all about embracing your inner child!" He placed a hand over his heart in a "touching" manner all while trying to look as innocent as one possibly could.

Apparently Hikari didn't buy the moving statement as she rolled her head in Sora's direction and raised her eyebrow questionably.

"He paid me ten dollars to play."

Taichi broke character and gave his best friend a menacing glare who just shrugged at him.

"You know, whatever. Go ahead and play. Just keep it down! I've got a math test tomorrow and I need to study. Overly competitive, hard headed…" Muttered Hikari as she stalked back into the room and slammed the door shut.

"So…" Started Taichi cheekily, "best three out of five?"

Sora stared at him seriously for a second before shouting, "You're on!" And they quickly began to reassemble the board. It was going well up until the point it came to deciding who would be what color piece, and they both wanted to be the same color piece.

"I wanna be blue!"

"You were blue last time! It's my turn!"

"No, mine!"

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

SNAP!

Both companions eyes went wide as their eyes slowly looked down to see what now was two blue pieces, instead of one was.

"...Maybe we are too competitive for Candy Land."

(1) I'm not sure if the bridge in Candy Land is chocolate. I haven't played the game in ages so I just made it chocolate. After all, everybody loves chocolate don't they?

/Author's Note: This came out longer then I intended actually. Hikari may seem OOC in this, but think about it- how would you feel if you were studying for an insanely hard math test and your loud mouthed brother and his best friend were arguing over a children's board game? I'd be a little upset too. Reviews are always welcome (in fact, they're encouraged!).
