A/N: Alright, so Anon said "Fin and Reef playing Twister sounds awesome romance". It's not exactly a romance drabble, but it *is* Reef/Fin (the two of them and Twister? Sounds like a fun competition)
DISCLAIMER: If Stoked were mine, Canada would have new episodes. And Emma/Ty. End of story.
-----------------------
The box, in and of itself, was quite un-assuming. Just an old cardboard box, gathering dust in one of the staff houses many closets. Until the day Emma, scavenging for a new pillowcase after some sort of woodland creature destroyed hers, stumbled upon it.
Her eyes widened and a grin spread on her face as she blew the dust off of it. "Oh, we've got to play this..." she muttered to herself, picking up the box. She carried her new prize down to the porch, where most of the gang was lounging.
Fin was the first to notice her. "What've you got there, Alberta?" the blonde asked, pointing to the box in her hands.
Emma tilted the box so everyone could see. "I found Twister in one of the closets!" she announced.
"Dude, I love that game!" Reef piped up, grabbing it from her hands and opening it with a bit more force than necessary.
"Yeah, it's one of my favourite games too." Johnny put in, getting in closer to Emma. "You can end up in some weird positions. Ha, this one time, my best friend landed on top of the girl he had a crush on! Isn't that weird?" He laughed nervously, eyeing Emma.
"Uh...yeah. Completely." Emma agreed, inching away from him the slightest bit.
"We've got to play this!" Reef said, interrupting the two and saving Johnny from another awkward moment. "Whattya guys think?"
Ripper, the only senior there among the groms, shrugged. "Why not? Sounds like a good time."
"Definitely!" Fin agreed. "I can kick butt at this game!"
"Oh yeah?" Reef challenged. "I've never lost a round."
"Somehow, I don't believe that. You'll probably fall flat on your face in the first 2 spins."
"Care to make that a bet?"
"Sure you can win?" Fin dared.
"Oh, I am confident that I can beat you. First one to touch the ground loses. Loser has to wait on the winner hand and foot for a week!"
"Well, I'll be looking forward to having my own personal servant."
"I'm in." Johnny said to the rest of the group, turning away from the two fighters."What about you, Emma?"
"I call spinner!" Emma declared. "This game gets too awkward for me."
Johnny's look of happiness deflated a bit as she reached for the spinner. Broseph noticed this and elbowed him. "Ah, cheer up. You'd probably end up on top of Reef anyway." he whispered.
"Thanks, bro." Johnny muttered. "So, you in?'
"Nah. Muscles don't stretch that well. I'm content to watch." Broseph told him, flopping down on the couch.
"Lo, you playing?" Fin asked, finally done with her argument. She had a wide grin on her face at the prospect of a new challenge.
Lo shrugged. "I don't know."
"Oh, c'mon princess." Ripper said. "It'll be fun."
Lo sighed. "Yeah, sure. I'll play a round."
"Let's get started!" Fin said, pulling the mat out of the box and spreading it down. "Prepare to lose, Reef."
Reef's retort was a snort.
"Alright." Emma flicked the spinner, beginning the game. "Right hand, green."
It didn't take long for the game to get intense. 5 spins into the game, Lo was the first to go down. "Well, that was fun." she said, rubbing her butt as she made her way over to a chair.
A couple minutes later, Ripper and Johnny were down at the same time, a product of getting tangled up in each other's limbs.
"Just you and me now, Blondie." Reef commented. It would've been a more daunting statement if not for the fact that he looked like a monkey- feet spread a dot apart on the green line, with hands in between his legs so he could keep his hands on the blue and red dots.
Fin looked relatively less stupid, with both her feet on the same dot, slightly bent over so she could reach the red and blue dots as well.
"Prepare to lose, monkey boy." she shot back.
"Right foot blue." Emma called out. Both players took a step forward onto the same dot.
"Move your foot. I was here first." Fin told Reef.
"No rules saying we can't share."
"Kook."
"Right hand yellow." Emma interrupted.
Another shift, another call. And then, 3 calls later, the game ended spectacularly.
No one knew for certain what had happened. Everyone guessed that after Emma had called the new position (left food, red), Reef's foot had shot out further than it should have, hitting Fin's foot in the process. Seeing as she had been precariously positioned beside him, the contact had made her lose her balance and topple--right on top of him.
Which, of course, led to some shock on both their parts. There was Fin, lying smack on top of Reef, arms on either side of his shoulders. And there was Reef, who had grabbed her around the waist in surprise, effectively trapping her against him. They lay there like that for about twenty seconds, both in too much shock to do anything else.
Then Broseph coughed, followed by Emma and Lo simultaneously squealing. Reef let go of Fin's waist when she pushed herself off of him and into a standing position.
"So..." Fin said, turning away from Reef and blushing dark red.
Neither of them looked at each other. The rest of the gang stayed silent during the awkward moment.
"Uh..yeah...so...." Reef babbled. He, too, was crimson.
"I...uh...I guess I won, huh?" Fin ventured, giggling nervously
That comment seemed to instantly snap the 2 from their awkward, blushing daze. "What?" Reef cried, whirling to face her. They were back in combat mode. "How did you win? We feel at the same time!"
"You were the one who landed on the ground first."
"Yeah, but only because you fell on top of me."
"You kicked my foot! It's your fault!"
"I did not. You weren't looking where you were putting your foot."
"Argh, you are so annoying! You lost, deal with it." Fin yelled, then a look of serenity appeared on her face. "I look forward to having you serve my meals, Slave Reef."
With that, she turned on her heel and walked up the stairs, leaving a fuming Reef in her wake. Broseph patted his back in comfort. "Hey, if you're her slave you can make her life miserable. Cheer up, bro."
A grin spread across Reef's face. "I guess that's true." He conceded. "Works out pretty well in the end."
Suddenly, Broseph pulled him down closer and whispered "So, did you plan that or what?"
The grin on Reef's face got bigger and slyer. "You'll never know."
A/N: See! I included romance!
Yes, I included some Johnny/Emma. C'mon, the guy's so hopeless you can't help but write about it. But, you got your Fin/Reef. Not the most romantic, but there isn't much sweet romance between them in the show. More sexual tension and animosity.
Before question are asked, no I'm not entirely sure what a Twister mat looks like exactly. I know the basics, but not what colour comes after the other. Thus, there may be some inaccuracies. But please overlook them.
Oh, also, there is a new LJ community dedicated to Reef/Fin called Jellyfish Sting. It's brand new, so there's not much. But go check it out and add stuff! Spread the Reef/Fin love!
Alright, so now that this is out of the way, I can get back to my letter! No more distractions!
Please leave a review and a request if you have one!
