We arrived at our hide and decided to play a board game to celebrate, a few plays in and Ballister uploaded the video footage while Nimona rolled the dices

"C'mon! C'mon! Fwoo"

The dices fall on 5 each

Nimona: "Yes! Time to take that pup to a walk, eight, nine, ten!"

Ballister: "Ooh, landing you in the enchanted forest which is my domain, ka-chink!
600 gold please"

Nimona: "my Scottie dog will not pay your tyrannical toll!"
"He rallies the oppressed woodland creatures and starts a revolt!" War horn sounds

"Squirrels scale the castle walls!, and bears batter down the gates!, BLOODY CHAOS ENSUES, blerghslejaoansm"

She simulates getting stabbed to death by pressing a juice box against her body while Ballister looks at all of this with a nochalant expression

"I'm still taking the 600 gold" He replied casually

"What!?" Before he could grab the "gold" She breathed fire at the in-game money, burning it to ashes

"...."
"You didn't tell me you could breathe fire"

"Oh" She looked down as if expecting the worst to happen

"Hm...Metal....say....best out of three?" He said picking up the cards again and earning a surprised expression from her

Meanwhile I was silently celebrating the start of a new game because I had lost all my money and territory

Although.....the last time I saw her this happy.....was back then

Things went south for a 1000 years....it's weird yet relieving to see how we can still laugh and have fun together despite everything....

Then suddenly....

The computer started spitting notifications like crazy, we went to check what was happening

Ballister: "hey check it out!"

Nimona: "woah a hundred- five hundr- three thousand! Seventy-five....the whole kingdom is seeing this thing!"

Ethan: "no way this is the profit part of the plan"

Ballister: "Well now there's just one question left"

Nimona: "Whas dat?"

"Can a shark dance?"
He said, his thick accent making it even better

"Pff- can a shark dance?.....watch me" *knack knack*

The music started playing and we danced and partied while the kingdom descended into chaos

Nimona obviously turned into a shark while the three of us danced in sync....

Taking several photos, one with her spitting fire....another with the three of us wearing sunglasses, another with just me and her making our eyes glow, and many other photos...each and every single one was pinned to the "murder wall"

"Hey now that I think about it, what do you say you teach me that shifting objects thing Ethan?" She asked excitedly

"Oh right I forgot about it....ok so let's go outside for target practice"

We walked outside and I placed a huge rock on top of a broken tree trunk

"Alright so, you gotta use your fingers as your aim, extend your arm forward, think of it like aiming a crossbow or something"
