Chapter 9: I'm Not Sorry!
Boomer's POV
Several rounds in, and we were all fuming. Several betrayals had been perpetrated, and I could honestly say that nobody was sorry.
"Hey, you sank my battleship!" Bubbles busted at Butch.
"Bubbles, wrong game," Blossom told her.
"No, it's a metaphor for this game."
"In what way?"
"Well, he sent me back several spaces, so it's like sinking my gunboat."
"You just called it a battleship!"
"Don't question her logic!" Boomer joined in for no reason.
"Stay outta this, bread head!" Buttercup chimed.

"It's not like I have a choice, though! If I don't, I'll probably lose!"
"Ugh... I'll bet that directly under your skin is nothing other than five year-old Bubbles operating a bunch of sticks and rope to control an older Bubbles puppet!" Buttercup wondered.
"Well, it's official. I have no idea as to what we should do next! Boys, do you have any ideas?" Blossom calmly asked.
The three of us all began to rub our chins in unison. There was something that we've wanted to do with them for quite a while, now. Once again, in unison, we responded, with smiles stretching across our faces. "Weellllll..."
