Friday Evening
8:30 PM
Toretto Household
Los Angeles
No One's POV
The weekend is finally here once again; Today was Friday and people all over Los Angeles took part in outdoor activities with friends and family. However tonight the Toretto family would partake in an old-fashioned family game night. Dom proposed this idea earlier in the week and everyone; seemed okay with the switching things up. After dinner everyone gathered at the dining room table with their beers expect Darryl who was drinking a can of Coca-Cola.
Five minutes later Dom rejoined his family with a monopoly board game.
"Ooooh I haven't played monopoly in ages," Mia said
"Yeah same here; Where did you find this Dom?" Letty questioned
"Behind some old junk in the garage; It looks an older version"
"What makes you say that?" Darryl asked taking a sip of his soda
Brian picked up the game box and observed it closely
"The cover looks different; There's a bigger selection of game pieces and it says made in 1965 on the back"
"That might be our Dad's old game; Remember Dom?"
"Oh yeah; He gave it us back in the nineties"
"and you still kept it all this time?" Tej asked
"I guess so…...Alright, let's get this show on the road."
Dom carefully pulled off the top and took out everything and read the directions out loud
"The object of the game IS to become the wealthiest player through buying, renting and selling property. PREPARATION: Place the board on a table and put the Chance and Community Chest cards facedown on their allotted spaces on the board. Each player chooses one token to represent him/her while traveling around the board. Each player is given $1,500 divided as follows: P each of $500s, $100~ and $50~; 6 $40~; 5 each of $105, $5~ and $Is. All remaining money and other equipment go to the Bank. Stack the .. Bank's money on edge in the compartments in the plastic Banker's tray."
"I'll be the banker" Letty volunteered grabbing the stacks of money before dividing it up evenly.
"Okay, so I'm assuming that everyone has played before right?"
Nobody shook their head no so Dom, didn't need to explain further. Next everyone picked out their game piece.
Brian-Cannon
Dom-Racecar
Mia-Iron
Letty-Shoe/Boot
Darryl-Saxophone
Tej-Battleship
Roman-Top Hat
Then the game began…
1 Hour Time Skip…
Darryl's POV
My family and I have playing monopoly for about an hour now and things, are getting tense. Everyone has about 2-3 properties a piece and is working on building their empires. I, on the other hand, is just trying to stay out of jail because; I can't get $200 for pass and go. Letty just rolled a three and landed on free parking; Now it's my turn. Carefully and Slowly I take the dice into my sweaty palms and shook them four times before releasing. Thankfully it was a six which means I could pull a chance card. But after reading my faith I wish someone else had pulled it.
"Pay every player $50 each"
I cursed under my breath and starting counting out my money. Didn't expect to lose $300 that fast.
"My turn" Roman said picking up the device
No One's POV
Darryl handed the dice over to Rome who rolled a four and landed on Tej's New York Avenue.
"Ha! pay up mutha fucker" Tej gloated holding his hand out
The bald man shook his head in disappointed and start counting his money.
"How much?"
"$450"
"Are you serious?!"
"Of course; Now give me my money"
Rome roughly pushed the bills on the table and pushed them forward to Tej
"Here!" He said angrily
"Nice doing business with ya" Tej laughed
"Brian you're up"
Time Skip
_F and F: Family Chronicles_
Tej's POV
Ha, Rome still hasn't figure out that I tricked him into giving me money. My properties have been mortgaged so technically I can't collect rent from any other player who land on them; Oh well. Besides I'm gonna need extra money because Mia and Dom have already started putting houses on their properties which will lead to hotels and that's what makes you go bankrupt.
"Tej didn't you take out a mortgage on your properties?" Rome asked
Shit!
"Why you ask?"
"Because you weren't supposed to charge me rent!"
I started acting clueless hoping he would just drop the situation
"What are you talking about?"
Rome then grabbed the white pamphlet and read the instructions out loud
"If the property is mortgaged, no rent can be collected. When a property is mortgaged, its Title Deed card is placed face down in front of the owner."
Everyone looked at me with shock so I decided to keep going with being clueless
"I didn't know that…..oh well"
"No, not oh well; Give me my money back!" Rome demanded
"Well you didn't you till now so technically it's your fault"
"But you still cheated fool!"
"I don't consider it cheating"
And that started the first brawl of the evening.
No One's POV
As Tej and Roman's argument continued to escalate even further Dom, stepped in and stopped it.
"ALRIGHT,ALRIGHT! ENOUGH!; Tej obviously didn't know and Rome, you should have been paying attention. So just give him $225 back"
"Oh hell naw!; I'm out that's some bullshit!"
Rome stormed away from the game and headed upstairs.
_F and F: Family Chronicles_
Brian's POV
I made my way upstairs and searched the second floor. Every light was turned off except for the guest bedroom at the end of the hall. Before entering I knocked and a "come in" was heard on the other side. Rome was sitting down on the bed playing on his phone.
"So this is how you're gonna spend the rest of your night?" I ask him
"It works for me" he replied not taking his eyes off the glowing screen
"Rome just come back downstairs so we finish playing monopoly"
"No"
"Look I know what Tej did was wrong but…."
"But nothing he knew the rules and didn't say anything!"
"Well to be fair you weren't pay attention"
"It's still wrong Bri and you know it."
"Yes he shouldn't have done that but; you did get half your money back"
"I should have gotten the whole $450"
"Look If I give the other $225 dollars will you come back to finish?"
He took like a minute to think about my offer
" No keep your money; This is between Tej and I. But I'll come back"
"Great"
"I just hope he goes bankrupt and loses"
All I could do is just laugh and shake my head; Classic Roman

No One's POV
"What is taking Brian so long?" Letty asked a little impatient
"You know Roman honey; He's not always cooperative" Dom mentioned
"Amen to that" Darryl added taking a sip of his fourth soda
Everyone at the table stared at the young blonde as he continued to drink.
"Darryl how many sodas have you had this evening?" Mia asked
"only four"
"ONLY FOUR?!"
"Bro that's not good for your diabetes" Tej said
"I have extra insulin"
"That's three sodas too many give me it" Mia demanded holding her hand out
"NO IT'S MINE!"
Darryl jumped out his seat and starting running around the house with Mia trying to catch him. Apparently he's in the midst of a sugar rush.
"Come back here!"
"You have to catch me first Hahahahahahaha !"
As the chase continued Brian and Rome, descended down the stairs and headed back into the dining room. Tej counted out $225 and held in his hand.
"Here's your money back"
"I don't understand; I thought it was my fault?"
"Well you and Brian were upstairs I did some thinking; and it would be wrong for me to keep the other half"
"Wow Tej I don't know what to say….Thanks for coming to your senses"
"Yeah sure…" Tej responded sarcastically
There was an awkward silence until it was interrupted by a loud crash
"What was that?' Brian asked
"Your brother had a couple of sodas too many" Letty said
"And now he's in a sugar rush" Tej added
"Mia is trying to catch him, but from the sounds of it she's having no success"
"Yeah we should go help her" Dom said
"Good Idea" Brian said
Both men headed towards the back and blocked Darryl's path. Catching him before he could run young blond squirmed in their strong grip; trying his hardest to break free
"Let me goooooo!; I need more SUGAR!" Darryl yelped
"Oh I think you've had enough sugar for tonight young man" Brian laughed snatching the can of soda
"NOOOOOOOOO!; GIVE IT BACK!; GIVE IT….."
Darryl's rush ended and was now knocked out. His little snores echoed throughout the house.
"Well looks like Darryl is out"

2 Hours Later…...
No One's POV
Two more hours have passed and the time was now 12:20 AM Saturday Morning. Darryl was still sound asleep on the couch; Dom,Tej,Roman and Letty observed Brian and Mia who, were the only one's left in the game. Everyone else had went bankrupt.
Mia's POV
The Pressure is on; It's now down to Brian and I. Since everyone else was out the game it was a lot more difficult for O'Connor to land on my properties and vise versa. It seems like this could go for at least another two or three hours but well just have to wait and see.
"You're going down Toretto!" Brian gloated
"Ha! in your dreams O'Connor" I snapped back laughing
He released the dice and ended up with a five.
"One,Two,Three,Four,Five…...Fuck!"
My eyes widen as I noticed he just landed on my Pennsylvania Ave. He tried changing it but I shook my head and moved his cannon piece back
"Pay up!"
"How much?"
"$2800"
"Well I'm out"
"Yessss I win! in your face!"
"Great job Sis" Dom complemented
"Thanks"
"Yeah great game; I'll get you next time…." Brian assured me
"Haha, yeah we'll see"
