Summary: A couple years ago, Melody and James each have a different favorite football team, Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings, to have a huge sibling rivalry between them when both teams play against each other. Until one game when each team plays against each other, the rivalry begins again, but can they settle their differences in the end?

Mel: Well here's our newest random update! In some ways, this is a possible situation. If you haven't guessed by James' pen name, he is, a Cheese-head. And I am a proud Minnesota girl and a Vikings fan. So what happens when the two of us, opposites on in the football world, watch a game together? Read to find out!
James: Call me a Cheese-head all you want, Mel. I'm a proud Packers fan and I don't care what you call me. So yea, what does happen when the two of us watch our favorite team on TV? Read to find out.
*with everyone in our world in James and Melody's TV room*
Cole: So how much longer til the game's on?
James: Not long, only about twenty minutes.
Dawn: Okay, can someone please explain the point of this... Football to me again?
Lucas: *sigh* I've told you before, you want to get the ball to the other team's end zone to score.
Iris: We get that, but we don't get the point!
Mel: *walks in carrying two blankets, two pillows, and a GIANT bowl of popcorn* The point is to get together with people and enjoy watching a good sport.
James: It's about friends, family, and traditions. *grabs the two pillows and sets them against the couch armrest*
Jay: How do you know which team to cheer for? No one from your state is playing.
Mel: You pick a favorite team. Like mine is the Minnesota Vikings. Purple and yellow forever! *spreads out yellow and green blanket on the couch*
James: And my team is the Green Bay Packers from Wisconsin. Green and yellow and long time rivals of the Vikings. *sits down, leaning back on the green and yellow and purple and yellow pillows*
Lloyd: Oh. So how do you know which one you should root for if your favorite team isn't playing?
Mel: That's up to you. *sits down and leans back against her brother, throwing the yellow and purple blanket over them and pulling up the sides of the yellow and green one* I often cheer on the underdog if I don't have a favorite team playing.
James: *picks up an old cardboard sign with duct tape on it* Or you have another favorite team and cheer for them, or just enjoy the game.
Logan: *grabs a handful of popcorn* What are you two doing? I thought you said the Vikings, yellow and purple, are rivals of the Packers, yellow and green?
Falon: Shouldn't that mean you two sit far away from each other so you can face against each other. *steal some popcorn from Logan to receive a small noogie from him and a chuckle*
James: Well... Yes and No and...
Mel: They are. But this is a tradition of ours when we watch a game.
Zane: And how did this start? *looks at cardboard with messy handwriting reading 'Skol Packers'*
James: Oh wow... *looks at his sister* We must have been what, twelve? thirteen?
Mel: That sounds right. Well it all started when we had some family over and were watching a game. Me with my Vikings apparel and things, James with his Packers stuff...
*flashback*
James: Oh Melly? *grabs his Packers blanket and wraps his arms around twin in a bear hug with the blanket over her* Gotcha!
Mel: Ahhh! Pack attack! Help! Aunt Kris! James is Pack attacking me!
Kris: You're on your own for this one Mela-bell, the Vikings are winning!
Mel: Oh thanks! *squirms and slips out the bottom of the blanket* Ha! Take this! *tackles her brother with her giant Vikings pillow between them*
James: Ahh! Help! I'm being smothered here! Someone get this abomination off of me!
Mel: Say it! Say the Packers are a bunch of cheese heads and Vikings rule and I'll get off!
James: Never! Vikings will lose and Packers will dominate your team!
Mel: Fine! *pushes harder against the pillow and grabs her Vikings blanket, wrapping it over them* Skol Vikings!
James: Gah! So much Vikings! But I will not admit defeat to you! *looks for Packer blanket and tries to reach for it*
Mel: *kicks blanket and pillow away* Ha! Nice try! *pushes down harder* I claim this house as Vikings territory!
James: You can't claim the house! Plus I'm Packer territory so your Viking power won't contaminate me. *starts to buck and squirm and flipped himself over to prompt himself up with his arms*
Mel: Fine! *takes a deep breath and sings loudly and smacked her brother's arms to have him on his stomach* Skol Vikings, let's win this game,
Skol Vikings, honor your name,
Go get that first down,
Then get a touchdown.
Rock 'em . . . Sock 'em
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Go Vikings, run up the score,
You'll hear us yell for more. . .
V-I-K-I-N-G-S
Skol, Vikings, let's go!
James: Ah that music is making my ears bleed! Even this Viking appeal is making me sick. *continues to squirm around*
Mel: Looks like I got you pinned for this match. The Vikings are the best.
James: Never! *finally squirms free and quickly snatched his Packers blanket and pillow and runs around the house and sneaks around the furniture until he was behind unsuspected twin* Surprise! *jumps at twin and tackled her with his Packers pillow and blanket* Packers Rule!
Mel: Ahhh! Never! *struggles under her brothers weight* Get off me ya great lump!
James: Nope! Not until you say Packers are awesome and Vikings are awful. And then I'll get off of you. But for now. *wraps blanket tightly around her* Gotcha!
Mel: Not if I can... Help... It... *struggles and throws her brother off* Ah ha! *grabs her blanket and dashes around and twists his arms around his back, tying them tightly together and pins him tightly to the floor* There!
James: Oh come on! Not fair! *struggles to buck his sister off* I call this foul play. *continues to thrash around*
Mel: Well I don't! I call this using your resources! I'll let you up as soon as you say 'IT' But until then, you make a great floor cushion Jimmy!
James: Then you're crazy. Vikings are a bunch losing barbarians and Packers are number one! And I am not a floor cushion. *bucks his twin off and began to run away* Help! I'm being attacked by a Viking wannabe!
Mel: I am not a wannabe! I am a Viking! *chases her twin around the house and into the kitchen where they crash into their mom* Oh h-hi mom...
Mom: Kids, what have I told you about rough housing inside the house? You're acting like you're eight year olds!
Mel: He started it! *points at James as he does the same thing with saying she started it*
Mom: Oh really now? And what was this argument about?
Mel: Um...
James: I was messing around with her saying that the Packers are better than Vikings and had fun by throwing my blanket over her to show her that Packers are way better. Then that kept going until she tied my hands behind me back just so she could prove her team is better. Honestly we aren't eight year olds, just having a little extreme sibling rivalry.
Mom: What am I gonna do with you two... One Vikings, one Packers. I can't choose a side, but you can't keep doing this!
Mel: Ah come on mom, it's all in good fun. It's not like we're hurting each other.
Mom: Maybe so, but accidents do happen. Fine, have your little Cheese verses Northmen fight, but either do it quietly and civilly, or go outside! No ridiculous arguments in my house and I will lock you both out.
Twins: Yes mom... *both walk back to the TV room*
Mel: Vikings are still better!
James: Shut up. Can you at least untie my wrists from your blanket?
Mel: Fine. But only if you say 'IT'! Or else I'm just gonna sit here with Aunt Kris and watch the Vikings win this game
James: Never in my life. Aunt Kris, tell Mel to untie me here.
Kris: Mela-bell if your twin isn't leaving you alone on it, just untie him or do something with him.
James: Not the answer I was hoping for.
Mel: Hm... Do something with him... I've got an idea, but you've got to trust me, Jimmy. I promise it won't hurt you or get us in trouble.
James: I don't like the sound of it. Uncle Dennis, can you help me here?
Dennis: Sorry James, game is intense right now.
James: Great.
Mel: Please James, I promise on that if I do anything against what I have said, I will say 'IT'.
James: Oh fine. What is it?
Mel: You'll have to wait and see. *grabs a towel from the table and gently ties it around James' eyes* Now let's see... *grabs the Vikings and Packers pillows and sets them up on the open couch. Takes the Packers blanket and lays it on the couch* Sit here, James. *gently pushes him so he's sitting, leaning back against the pillows on the armrest* just give me one more minute...
James: What are you doing, Melody? I don't like the look of this.
Mel: What the dark? It's not like you can even look at it yet...
James: It's not the dark. I'm feel like you're gonna tie me up with your Viking scarf so you can make fun of me for having Viking appeals on instead of Packers.
Mel: Oh hush up. *grabs the two cardboard pieces and some duct tape and tapes them together just right* Okay.. Now let me untie your hands... *unties James from the blanket and moves his hands around front. Sits down in front of James, leaning back against him, than throws the Vikings blanket up over them, and pulling the edges of the Packers blanket around it. Then reaches up to untie her twins blindfold* Leave them closed for just a second until I say open, okay?
James: *nods, feeling the cloth leave his face, keeping his eyes closed*
Mel: *holds up the piece of cardboard so he can see it* Okay open! What so you think? *gestures to the sign that now reads 'Skol Packers'*
James: *smiles* I like it. We may have our differences on teams, but they can be twins like us to be together.
Mel: Exactly. *snuggles against her older brother and watches the rest of the game with their family*
*end of flashback*
Mel: And we've done it the same way every game since. Just our little twin thing for the football season.
Korinna: Aww! That's so sweet!
Folan: It is pretty cool.
Becc: Hey kids, the game is starting.
Kids: Yay! *turn to watch the football game on the TV*
Lloyd: And after this, can we play some football outside?
James: *smiles* Sure. *looks at his sister* Packers versus Viking?
Mel: You're on after this.
All: *turn their heads to the TV as the game was starting*
Mel: Well what did you think? We thought we'd give you a sweet sibling moment fic. Hope you come back next week and thanks to our sister Kayla for reviewing! Hope to see you next time!
James: I enjoyed our sibling rivalry moments especially when it's between us. Hoped you enjoyed and see you next weekend. :)
