“I’m booooorrrreeeddd.” Jay whined as he sat in Auradon Prep’s brand new rec room for the student’s enjoyment.
As soon as Carlos and he heard they were making one, they were jumping up and down excited like little kids charged up on four pounds of sweets.
Mal rolled her eyes at her friend’s childish whines, “Jay they literally just opened it three hours ago. How can you already be bored?”
“Carlos and me already played most of the games plus a lot of the games in here are ones we didn’t have back on the Isle and we don’t know how to play them so I’ll say it once again, I’m booooorrrreeeddd.” Jay slouched down on the couch, adding to his dramatics while Mal just shook her head amusingly watching him.
“This rec room is pretty cool. I never in a million years thought Fairy Godmother would agree to letting us put one in the school.” Doug said as he was playing a round of pool with Chad.
“Yeah. Thanks again Ben for setting this up.” Jane said while playing Air Hockey with Lonnie.
“Oh no problem. I thought the school could use a bit more fun.”
“HAHA! I WIN! IN YOUR FACE DOUG! If only Audrey had seen it.” Chad said doing his little victory dance.
“Chad, you do know you’re supposed to knock in all your balls before you knock in the eight ball right?” He said.
“What? I thought you were supposed to use the colored balls to knock in the eight ball?” Chad asked, his moment of glory turning sour.
“No, if you knock in the eight ball before you knock in all your balls, you automatically lose. Which means I win!” Doug, in turn, started to do his own little dance which pissed Chad off cause he was one of the biggest sore losers in the world.
“Whatever. This game is stupid anyway.” He said placing his stick back onto the table, walking over and joining Jay and Mal on the couch.
Shortly after, Lonnie and Jane finished their game of hockey, Lonnie coming out the victor. The AKs and VKs all sat down in the little lounge area that was placed in the room with an entertainment system equipped with all the game consoles you could think of and every accessory that went with them.
“So what do you guys wanna do now?” Evie asked as everyone just looked around not knowing what to do.
“I don’t know. We could try playing one of the games on these consoles.
“Nooooo! I wanna play something new that I haven’t played before. I already played most of those games on the consoles in my room.” Jay said.
“Fine! What about a board game?” Mal suggested.
“Snooze.” Jay said, adding some snoring for effect which made everyone laugh while Mal just hit him upside the head with a pillow.
“Hey! Watch it, sister.”
“So what are we gonna do?” Uma asked getting bored herself.
“We could play Uno.” Ben suggested.
All the AKs agreed with excited looks, while the VKs just sat there more lost than the Lost Boys.
“Um, what’s Uno?” Carlos asked.
“What? You’ve never played before?” Lonnie asked in shock.
“Nope, what is it?” Evie asked.
‘It’s a card game.” Doug explained.
“Oh, how do you play?”
The AKs explained the rules to them. Mal, Evie, Uma, and Dizzy understanding while Jay, Carlos, and Harry, had to make sure Gil stayed caught up and understood.
Ben reached back into a trunk behind the couch and grabbed four stacks of cards since so many of them were playing. He handed them over to Lonnie after taking them out the boxes so she could shuffle and deal.
“Alright, let’s play.” Ben said once everyone had seven cards and was sitting around the table.
*Twenty Minutes later*
“I’ll curse you bitch…” Mal said glaring directly at Lonnie as she once again placed another ‘Draw Four’ on her.
Lonnie smirked in smug as she watched Mal draw fours cards.
“Mal! Language!” Ben scolded her.
“Oh suck a nut! Will someone reverse it please!” Mal shouted for the nineteenth time.
“Jay, stop looking at my cards.”
“Don’t change the color to red! He’s got three of them!” Jay shouted, his urge to win clouding his mind.
“Shut it!” Carlos said slamming his free hand over Jay’s mouth.
“Hah! The color is green! You ain’t getting out yet princess!” Uma laughed placing down a wild card.
Evie jumped out of her chair, launching herself over the table ready to stick those cards down her throat but Doug got a hold of her before she could with the help of Gil cause that girl was strong as hell.
Reaching to draw a card since she didn’t have any yellows, Dizzy was happy when she saw she got a Draw Four.
“Hehe, it’s on now.” Drizzy laughed.
“What? Do you have a reverse? TELL ME!” Mal said with a crazed look in her eye as Lonnie laughed at her desperation.
“No, but remember when you knocked that stuff over in the shop back on the Isle Harry giving me more sweeping to do? It’s payback time hook boy.” Dizzy laughed with an evil glint in her eyes.
Carlos finally managing to hide his cards at an angle where Jay couldn’t see placing a ‘Reverse’ down making Mal scream for joy.
“It’s on now bitch.” She said glaring back down at Lonnie.
“Bring it pixie!” Lonnie said. That girl was super competitive and this game brought out the worst in it.
“Hey, I almost got Uno!” Carlos said seeing he only had two cards.
“Oh I don’t think so pup.” Harry said placing down a ‘Draw Two’.
“I’ll put that hook between your eyes, you pervy pirate!”
“Ooo feisty! I love it.” Harry said, barking at Carlos the same way he did when they came back to Isle adding his signature grin.
Uma drew a card, before smacking it down on the table.
“THE COLOR IS RED!” She said, dancing in her seat cause she was about to take these losers down.
“YES!” Carlos said while Jay just grabbed his head and placed it in a head lock. Harry took the chance to peep at Carlos cards…
And his butt.
When it got back to Mal, she realized she finally was down to two cards and she was in luck because they were both reds.
As soon as it got to her, she smacked it down to the table, “UNO!” She shouted.
Everybody groaned at the fact that Mal would be out first, that is until Jay placed a card down with the same number, changing the color from red to blue.
“You’re all getting cursed.” She said before mumbling under her mouth. Ben stood up to try and stop her, Uma challenging Evie and throwing a comment in about how she rocked blue better than her.
Evie launched herself across the table again, Doug and Gil trying to hold her back while Dizzy decided to stomp on Harry’s foot.
“Ow! What did you do that for?” Harry said.
“THAT’S FOR MAKING ME SWEEP!” She said before jumping on top of him, smudging his eyeliner.
Jay and Carlos somehow ended up on top of the table with Evie wrestling over a ‘Draw Four’ that fell on the floor.
Lonnie was busy checking everyone’s cards, switching the good ones out of their decks with her deck.
Jane just watched from her seats, not knowing what to do in this situation.
Chad was just trying to make sure he didn’t get caught in the crossfire cause well his hair! It took three hours for it to get that natural bounce and body.
As all this was going on, no one noticed Fairy Godmother walk in two minutes ago watching the chaos unfold.
Clearing her throat, everyone stopped dead in their tracks. Evie froze trying to get to Uma, Jay stopped holding Carlos head locked in his arm.
Dizzy lets go of Harry and Mal cut off her curse.
No one moved an inch.
She may have a high pitched squeaky voice, but would you want to be on the end of her ‘mean voice’.
“What is going on here?”
Everyone looked around at each other, deciding what to tell her when Mal surprisingly spoke up.
“Would you believe us if we told you we were playing Uno?”
