Prompt: Game Day
"On your marks...get set...ready, die!"David Smallbone boomed.
The guys set off, each searching for an Easter egg containing a fake sapphire ring. It was October, but Easter eggs transcend seasons.
"Got it!"Vince yelled, snatching a baby blue egg from behind a bush. He opened it. "Never mind."
"Ha, I got it!"Ben shrieked. His egg was red. But it was empty.
They continued on, trying their best to find The Egg.
Ten minutes passed, then another ten.
"That's mine!"Ben yelled.
"No, it's not!"Joel shot back. They wrestled over the pale yellow egg.
"Guys,"Vince said, assuming his role as Most Mature.
"Children,"Courtney said, her voice stern. What worked for her children didn't work on her brother-in-law and his bandmate, and both men fell to the ground.
They slapped, smacked, and hit each other. Ben kneed Joel in the stomach, and Joel cried out in pain.
"Joel!"Mo screamed.
"Die!"Joel yelled, climbing on top of Ben.
Evie, realizing this was her moment, joined the chaos.
"Die! Die!"
She ran to her uncles.
"Die!"
"Hello, Evie,"Ben said, still under the giant Aussie.
"Hi, Uncle Ben,"Evie said. "Cake."
"You want cake?"
"Cake. And tapioca."
Ben nearly choked. "How do you know tapioca?"
"Cephalopod."
This time Joel choked.
"Cake!"
"Yeah, let's get cake,"Joel said, climbing off Ben.
Ben, who had the egg, opened it.
"Empty."
"Dang,"Daniel Jones muttered.
Jude nearly tripped over something. He looked down and saw an egg, a pretty pale pink. He picked it up and opened up. And a pretty blue rhinestone sparkled in the sunlight.
"Yes!"Jude yelled.
The adults looked at him.
"And Jude wins the lemon layer cake!"
"NOOOO!"Joel yelled.
"HAAAAAAAA!"Ben shrieked in his face.
"You human mattress!"Joel yelled, shaking him.
Ben grabbed him. "You relic-"
"BOYS!"Courtney hollered.
