Imagine: The Company Playing Guitar Hero
(I had a very strong urge to play GH after writing this lol I'm so glad I still had both the first game and my ps2)
Shout out to Boston Rider who suggested this. I had the idea in my head after seeing another blogger's post but didn't think about writing it until she suggested it ^_^
"Breaking out the PS2!" Toby shouted.
"The P what?" Ori asked with a frown.
"Playstation." Linda said.
"You mean that?" Nori asked as he pointed to the PS3 that was in the entertainment center below the tv.
"Yeah but an older version." Linda said as Toby came into the living room and started hooking it up.
"Are we playing a game?" Bofur asked.
"I'll be anywhere but here if anyone needs me." Kili said as he started up the stairs.
"It's not a horror game it's a music game." Linda said as she brought him back into the room.
"Music game?" Dwalin asked.
"Guitar Hero." Toby said.
"Guitar?" Bofur asked with a smile.
"Yep. I'll go get them." Toby said as he headed upstairs.
"Well they're fake guitars, they have buttons and the strumming thing is like a toggle." Linda said. "You hold down the right coloured buttons and strum when you see the colour on the screen pass the line."
"That doesn't seem too hard." Dwalin said.
"Oh it gets hard." Toby said as he came into the room with a black and white guitar and a red and black on.
"Dibs on red." Linda said.
"Damn it you always get the red one." Toby said with a frown as he plugged them in.
"That's cause I bought them." Linda said as she took it from him.
"Lin and I will play one song first so you guys can see how it works." Toby said. Everyone got on the couch or on the floor in front of it.
"So you play together?" Bilbo asked.
"We play against each other. Whoever hits the most notes wins." Toby said.
"Can we do-"
"Take Me Out?" Toby finished her question. "We always do."
"Is that a yes or a no?" Linda asked. Toby sighed.
"Fine, but we only play it once."
"Got it." Linda said with a nod. "OH! We should do teams! Most wins… win."
"Alright. Dodge ball style?"
"Dodge ball style. Alright boys, line up." The dwarves all looked confused but lined up.
"We're gunna call your name and that means you're on our team." Team Toby ended up being Bilbo, Thorin, Fili, Oin, Gloin, Bofur and Balin and Team Linda was Kili, Dori, Ori, Nori, Bifur, Bombur, and Dwalin. "Since we know how to play our turn won't count towards the score and that way there can't be a tie."
…
"Alright, this is for the win. Dwalin, Gloin you're up." Toby said.
"Here put your fingers like this." Linda said to Dwalin and reached for his hand but he gave her a look.
"I can do it." He said.
"Dwalin plays the violin." Kili said from the couch with a smile.
"Really?" Linda asked with a smile as she turned back to Dwalin. "I'd love to hear you play sometime." Dwalin shifted and grumbled slightly. Balin chuckled and Dwalin sent his brother a slight glare. Toby helped Gloin put the guitar strap on and advised him on where his fingers should be.
"You're going down." Gloin said with a laugh. Dwalin grinned.
"We'll see who's laughing when I wipe the floor with you." He said.
"Oh boy." Toby said with a growing smile. "Hey Bom," he turned to the larger dwarf and saw him eating from a bowl of popcorn. "Wanna share some'a that?" Bombur blinked and held out the bowl for him.
"Bombur no, he's not on our team." Kili said. Bombur frowned but nodded. He put the bowl down on the coffee table and looked away. Toby grinned and grabbed the bowl. Kili shook his head and Bombur gave him a sheepish smile.
…
"Wooo! Go Dwalin!" Linda cheered as she jumped up and down.
"Come on, Gloin!" Toby cheered. Both dwarves had started out struggling with the buttons and the strumming like the others but after the first minute they got the hang of it. The dwarves were cheering the two on so loudly that Toby had to turn up the music. "Come on! He's gunna win! Don't let him beat you!" Toby shouted. Seconds later the song ended and the dwarves erupted in either cheers or curses.
"Yeah!" Linda cheered, throwing her arms around Dwalin who had been grinning but was now blinking with wide eyes. She kissed his cheek and his face turned red as he started grumbling. A few of the dwarves started laughing until he shot them a glare. Linda giggled and let go of him. "Sorry." She said with a sheepish smile. He continued to grumble as he avoided eye contact.
This was short but I couldn't think of anything else to add ^_^" Next one is the Imagine and Pref for the swimming one. I'm gunna give that one a few days before I post it.
