"I don't know about this…" Jazpeer looked down at the board.

"Come on," Cally leaned across it, holding out two dice. "Roll like your life depends on it!"

Jazpeer leaned back and squeezed his eyes shut as the dice bounced across the floor. He cracked one open and stared at the numbers.

"That's it," Jazpeer moaned, moving his piece. "I can't pay your expensive rent! How many hotels do you have?"

"Um," Cally looked around the board. "Ten. Sakura has five, Moegi has six, and you have one, but you have your railroads, dust and water mines. You'll earn enough money to finish your rent in no time."

She reached over a collected the little pile of paper money in front of Jazpeer. Sakura giggled as she grabbed the two dice. They clattered in her hand for a moment before she rolled.

"Yes," she picked up her hat game piece and moved ten spaces to the free space.

"Not fair," Moegi complained, having owned properties on either side of it. "I'm almost out."

"Yes," Cally nodded, "but you are now out of my territory!"

"Ah," Jazpeer held out his hand.

Moegi grumbled as she slapped the money down into Jazpeer's hand. Instantly Cally reached over and plucked it up. He sighed as he was once again, bankrupt. Moegi rolled, landing on the Vale railroad. Cally's role landed her safely on her own property, she grinned, holding out the dice to Jazpeer again.

"No…" he said, rolling again. "I keep going to prison!"

"Off you go!" Cally helpfully moved his piece to the prison space. "I told you you should have spent more money buying property."

"I wonder what he did this time?" Moegi smirked.

Sakura smiled rolling her dice, "He probably was arrested by Mochi's relatives."

It was well known that the little hedgehog adored everyone in the team but Jazpeer. No one knew why, and Moegi had explained that he didn't like men. Oh well, maybe she could convince Mochi Jazpeer wasn't a bad guy, even though he had been to prison eleven times during the game.

"Aw," she handed over her money to Moegi. "I guess you did get something out of me. Now I have to go through Cally's gauntlet."

"It's not that bad," Cally watched Moegi's roll.

"Yes it was," Moegi shot her a long look. She sighed as she landed one of Sakura's spots, handing over the last of her money.

"Well, here we are," Moegi sighed, glancing at Jazpeer. "Two lousy broke people."

Cally frowned, "Well….this game just got boring. Ooh I have another if anyone wants to play!"

"Sure," Jazpeer nodded.

"Sounds good," Sakura affirmed.

"Yes please," Moegi nodded.

While the others placed the game back into its box Cally shuffled around in her box of games. They had survived the first awkward week of school, then the second, and the third. Today had been their first month together and Cally had declared a celebration. This had involved an almost failed batch of chocolate chip cookies, which Sakura had rescued at the last possible moment. She had had more culinary experience than the rest of them and in the end they were playing games, eating cookies, and drinking sodas.

"Its called UNO!" Cally plopped a rubber banded stack of cards down.

"What's that?" Jazpeer looked over at her.

"You mean you haven't heard of Uno either?!" Cally looked at him. "What was your childhood like?"

"Oh you know me," Jazpeer shrugged. "Boring."

"I love uno," Sakura smiled. "I haven't played in a long time. I used to do it with my aunt and uncle."

"My brother used to play it with me," Moegi replied.

"But this is five times better!" Cally held out a little machine. "This is Uno ATTACK!"

While Cally explained the rules, Moegi shuffled the deck, having been declared master shuffler after their previous game of Spoons.

"I'll do my best," Jazpeer nodded.

"Alright!" Cally beamed.

They played, chatting about Professor Zaff and Professor Sterling's end of the semester test they had announced and warned the students to pay attention in class so that they would be ready.

"This card is alright...right?" Jazpeer laid down his card.

"Yes! That's….the four plus," Cally's eyes widened. "On me!"

Sakura leaned forward and pushed the machine over to Cally. Her last time she had been lucky and no card had been thrown at her when she had pressed the button. Moegi grinned, finally Cally was getting a four plus. Cally held her breath as she pushed once, twice, three times without a reaction. She released her breath and pressed a fourth time. The machine whirled and spat out a dozen cards at her without warning.

"Oh noo," Cally picked up the cards mournfully.

"Oh," Jazpeer held up only one card. "Uno."

Hehe so a team fluff chapter while I work on figuring out the last about four or five chapters in this semester.

Also on the Silver Eye form...just use the character profile that's still on my profile page, but add the team name, team member's names, semblances and weapons, brief personality and appearance. They will be fighting at the Vytal festival else I wouldn't ask for so much info :D
