An other boom sounded as I ran up the road from the artillery position and jumped into the car with all of my idiotic friends waiting.

That was the tenth gun we'd blowen up this morning, since the planes had flown over we'd got a huge adrenalin rush and no one could go back to sleep afterwards. The sky was finally showing signs of early sunrise when we arrived back at our camp, those artillery gun positions we'd just taken out had been the last powerful defence the Russians had to defend the entrance to our town and any chances of keeping allied armies at bay.

"Whoooo! That's gota be your, what? 500th? Gezz dude you need to save some for us! I'm done, exhausted, who wants a game of uno?" Ivy said loudly as she settled down into her chair at the collapsible table.

"Haha, I thought you were deprived of energy Ivy? Or just running of the last of your adrenalin rush hey? Where are my cards? I'll give you a game! And that is my 500th one, I think I'm going to quit now and leave that job to the professionals!" I awnsered her and joked as I too stripped off my gear and joined her at the table.

"Hah! I think with the margin you have no-one else in the allied armies is classed as a professional compared to you! Schooch over, I wanna reck my bestie, after all we haven't played in months!" Felicity said patting my shoulder after she had gotten dressed in more comfortable clothing and rejoined us at the table.

I laughed with the group at Flic's comment and delt out the cards, making sure I was careful not to hand out more than seven to each player than took the first card off the deck and placed it on the table to let the game begin. Suddenly the table was crowded with young adults and a eager young teenager who was too happy with the plus two card she was adding to the pile.

Ace grinned in victory as Lachlan beside me had to pick up two cards evidently ruining his chance at being the first out. I looked between my hand of cards and the growing pile, I had a plus two in yellow which wouldn't matter because I would be placing it on another plus two so it would count but it was just how was I going to get rid of the rest of my hand.

I had atleast ten cards in my hand from everyone trying to stop me from reaching one card, the deck was walkout dwindling to a couple cards we were so interested in this game.

"NO NO NO! AW COME ON!" Ivy complained as I grinned like the Cheshire cat.

And laughed as I watched her add two cards to her hand making her having to get rid of two extra cards before she'd be able to put her two last cards down.

After the game was packed up and some tidying around the cap was done, I gota admit we were a bit messy from this mornings early rush and just in general, lunch was being prepared to be cooked over the fire.

"OKAY! Which one of you's brought back the frozen pizza? I know you both hate it so who's the life saver here!" Ace shouted when she saw the box on the try it was going to be cooked in next to the fire.

"Je ne sais pas demander à l'idiot qui a insisté pour que nous le ramenions pour les crétins qui semblent tellement aimer cette chose dégoûtante. Tu ne m'as jamais dit pourquoi tu l'as eu au premier endroit de toute façon, pourquoi?" Sky said and I realy was astonished at how much French came out of her mouth right then and there.

"Was she fluent or what? Like, is she able to speak it fluently or does she just know enough to be able to string me than a couple sentences together? I bet she'll say 'Oh, I only know a but more than the basics. Enough to put some sentences together' than go toatally fluent in French on me, as if she didn't know that much at all!" I pondered while waiting for Sky to finish up with stuffing around with the fire and making a flast surface for us to put the tray on.
