Chapter 8: Let The Games Begin
Buttercup's POV
"Maybe on top of going to school naked, I might also drive around town. As long as I got that million dollars, I'd do just about any fathomable, innocent act," I was delirious from the bad food, and should've kept my mouth shut before anything was said in the first place.
"Dude, and I thought Bubbles was weird," Boomer laughed and nudged Brick.
"I can hear you!" Bubbles shouted from the bathroom, and then resumed with the hacking and yacking.
"Weird in a good way!" Boomer yelled back, apologetically.
"Hey, if everyone's tired of being scarred by each other, how about we come up with another less humiliating game," Blossom stated. "How's about an innocent board game?"
"Grr... Board games piss me off..." I announced, "...which is why I love them so much!"
Butch pointed at me and nodded, "She stole the words right outta my mouth!"
"Perfect! I'll see what we have," Blossom told us, and then went upstairs into the bedroom. "We're playing it in the bedroom!" She shouted from upstairs.
Bubbles crawled on her hands and knees out of the bathroom and joined us. We floated up into the bedroom where we were confronted by a variety of games. Monopoly, Sorry!, Chutes & Ladders, you name it. Most of it I forgot even existed in time.
"You guys choose what we should do," Blossom told us. This was so weird, having six teenagers playing board games while stuck inside during a rainy day. I mean, of anything in the world, why are we doing this? In the end, we ended up choosing Sorry!, which was actually what I would've preferred.
"Buttercup, I swear, if you flip the board, I will destroy you!" Bubbles told me. For some reason, she becomes extremely competitive when we play these things.
"Hey, it's called Sorry!, isn't it?" I joked. She gave me the evil eye.
"I guess we should play in teams," Blossom commented on the color pieces.
"Gee, I wonder how we're gonna split up," Brick smiled and rolled his eyes.
"I know! Whose gonna want me on their team?" Boomer replied, not sarcastically. We all face palmed at the same time.
After we explained how we were teaming up to Boomer (by color, obviously), we formed our posses, with Butch and I versus Bubbles & Boomer, as well as Blossom & Brick.
"Who goes first?" Bubbles anxiously wondered.
"Let's rock-scissor-paper for it!" I suggested. "Just us girls."
"Sounds good to me," Blossom replied. We all stuck our hands in the center above the game board.
"Ready? One, two, three!" We all chanted together as we made our moves.
"Scissors beats paper," Blossom told Bubbles. She and I both chose scissors.
"Haha, you lose, Bubbles!" I laughed, "That means you and Boomer go last!"
"I always lose at this game!" She sneered. She's never won a single game of R/P/S in her entire life. I lost the second round to Blossom.
"Let the rumble... begin!" Brick cheered as the game began.
