diana placed a container full of dominos onto the table. ezra, dustin and robin looked at her in confusion. "two verse two." she said, signaling to her and robin then dustin and ezra. "come on, you've never played dominoes before?" she scoffed, with her arms crossed.

"no."

"i-i don't think so."

"they don't have any cards?"

"it's simple. all you have to do is connect them." she said dumping them all out and scrambling them. "grab five but don't show anyone." she told them, everyone followed her instructions. "since i have two sixes, i start." she stated, putting down the tile with two sixes on both sides. "it goes clockwise so ezra, you're next."

the game went on. it was boring but no one dared to admit it especially diana since she suggested it. the girl kept sneaking glances towards melody and nancy who seemed to be getting to know each other, and lucas and max who were talking in the back. lydia sat with steve in the front but she didn't look up there, not once.

a part of her still hurt that lydia called her selfish. another part of her was wondering if she was right. the world was at risk and melody was their best bet at saving it. it would be selfish of her to not let melody go just because she was too afraid of losing someone she loved. but at the same time, she knew they could just use a lighter to light him on fire. they could do so many things without melody's help.

"diana? it's your turn." dustin told her, knocking her out of her trance.

"oh, right. sorry."

the rest of the ride they continued to play dominos. they ended up playing two rounds and robin and diana won both of them which definitely bruised both ezra's and dustin's egos a bit. when they finally arrived at the war zone, they were all thankful they didn't have to play that boring game anymore.
