Competitiveness and Napping
Last Time On Twelve Days Till Christmas:
"No!" Percy decided, "Go play your own game!"
"Fine," Annabeth snapped, she and Reyna stalked off, probably to start their own game of Monopoly.
"So, what piece do you want?" Annabeth asked Reyna.
"I'll be the dog," Reyna replied, picking up the tiny metal dog.
"Sure, and I'll be the wheelbarrow," Annabeth replied.
"Now do you want to be the banker or should I be?" Reyna asked.
"I'll do it," Annabeth replied, picking up the instructions and money.
"Okay, two 500's for you, four 100's for you, one 50's for you, one 20's for you, two 10's for you, one 5's for you and five 1's for you. That should total up to $1,500," Annabeth counted out as Reyna unfolded the board and put out the cards.
"Who goes first?" Reyna asked.
"Roll the dice and we'll see," Annabeth replied. The dice were rolled, and the results were Annabeth - 5, Reyna - 6.
"I go first," Reyna announced, a smug smile gracing her lips.
"Just go," Annabeth huffed. Reyna rolled the two dice and when they landed, she got a seven.
"Chance," Reyna stated, picking a Chance card from the stack closest to her. "Advance to Go and collect $200,"
"200 dollars please, banker," Reyna asked, holding out one hand and putting the Chance card back with the other.
"Yes ma'am," Annabeth replied, her voice laced with a sickly sweet venom.
"Thank you," Reyna replied, taking the two $100 bills and putting them in her money stash. The girls played, mostly in silence except to spit out a snide remark on the others chances of winning. They collected property and when Annabeth landed on Reyna's piece of property, she had to pay rent.
"Alright, 10 dollars please," Reyna requested, holding out her hand.
"How about we make a trade. I'll pay you 60 dollars for the Central Avenue," Annabeth suggested.
"No. I bought it for 100 dollars, so a minimum of 150 dollars is required," Reyna replied, petting the Central Avenue property card like it was her precious.
"I'll pay 100," Annabeth bargained.
"150," Reyna replied.
"120?" Annabeth tried again.
"200, and if you keep bargaining, it will go up even more," Reyna replied.
"No! I will not buy the Central Avenue for that much! And you better watch out, I am going to win this!" Annabeth shouted, reluctantly paying her 10 dollars rent instead of trying to buy it.
"I wouldn't be so sure, Princess," Reyna replied coolly. Annabeth made some sort of irritated snarl.
The rest of the game was spent glaring at each other and arguing, making a point not to buy things from the other so to prove they could win without the other's help.
"And I'll take a hotel on the boardwalk in exchange for these four houses," Reyna announced, replacing the four green pieces with one red one. "And now you'll have to pay more if you land here,"
"Great," Annabeth grumbled, picking up the dice and rolling for her turn. After a while, the competitive spirit of the girls began to die down.
"I'm-" Yawn "Tired," Annabeth announced.
"We're-" Yawn, "Almost done, Annabeth," Reyna replied.
"Maybe a little-" Yawn "Rest wouldn't hurt," Annabeth suggested.
"Sure," Reyna replied. The girls laid against the side of the bed, shutting their eyes for a moment. Before they knew it, they were sprawled across the Monopoly board, their game completely lost in the scattering of pieces.
"Annabeth?" Percy called, snapping his fingers in front of Annabeth's face.
"Huh? Who won?" Annabeth asked sleepily.
"I did," Reyna replied, already awake and stretching out.
"No you didn't! I did!" Annabeth retaliated.
"Ladies, ladies, please don't fight! And by the way, neither of you won," Percy exclaimed.
"What? Neither of us?" Annabeth and Reyna exclaimed.
"Yup, now have some marshmallows," Percy replied, shoving a marshmallow into Annabeth's mouth.
"Percy!" Annabeth shouted, spitting out the marshmallow.
"Annabeth! That was a waste of a perfectly good marshmallow!" Percy exclaimed.
"Seaweed Brain," Annabeth grumbled.
"I think it's dinner time," Leo shouted.
"Since when were you here?" Nico asked.
"Since Annabeth and Percy started fighting over marshmallows. I brought popcorn," Leo replied.
"Leo, that's for the party, "A voice called out.
"Calypso? You're here too?" Percy asked.
"Yeah, and it is dinner time," Calypso replied.
"Let's go," Leo decided.
"Yeah," Everybody replied.
And since this story ended the same way as the previous one, it has the same horrible ending! Yay... (Note the sarcasm)
