Together at The Edge of a Universe

✨Chapter 38 - so long, so far

Lightning P.O.V:

We decided to just play Pictionary instead of charades. The only one good at that game was Pillow apparently, but it didn't end well...Splitting into miniature teams, I was with Tree, Black Hole, Bottle, and Marker. 

"How could she possibly made charades end bad?" I ask, confused as someone set up the board. Various versions of, "You do not want to know" flooded the room as Pillow stood with an eerie smile.

"Uh- Okay?" I say, holding myself in a sort of hug. Marker pats my back, giving me a smile. I smile back, taking deep breaths...I don't usually go out and meet people all to often...so this is new...

Splitting into miniature teams, I was with Tree, Black Hole, Bottle, and Marker. Leaving the rest of them on the other team. 

"Alright, roll the dice!" Pen says, handing Marker the dice block.

"Here wee goo!!!" Marker shouts, throwing the dice on the table with little force. It rolls, landing on a six. "Green spacee!!" Marker smiles, Fanny grumbles.

"I hate the color green..." She yells angrily. "How come?" Pie asks. Fanny mutters something about...being scared about hugs? Or something. I can't hear her.

"Alright, Pillow and Tree it's your turns to draw." Liy says, handing them the card. They stare at it for a few moments before placing it face down.

"Okay, ready." Tree says, picking up his pencil. "Yup! This ones gonna be fun!" She smiles, grabbing a red crayon.

"Uh- Okay, ready go!" Liy says, flipping over the hour glass. "Doggy on a skateboard with sunglasses and a phone!" Bottle yells out, Tree giving her a weird look.

"...I barely started drawing?-" He says, Bottle smiles. "I know! That's just the first thing I always guess!"

"Uhm...beaarr?" Marker guesses, shrugging slowly. "How does that look like a bear?" Tree asks, scribbling in some lines.

"Pillow what is that?" I hear Liy ask, I turn to see pillow scribbled out what seemed to be very crude children's drawings in deep red crayon. "I can't tell you!" She smiles, giggling madly.

Uh-...I think I know how charades went now...

"Oh! I know! A piece of steak!" Bottle cries out, Tree slaps his forehead. "No...not even close..."

"Could we get like...a theme? This one seems difficult..." Pen says, scratching the back of his head. Tree nods, "Uhm...books."

"Oh! I know! Cat in the hat!" Bottle yells, "No Bottle..." Tree sighs, slapping his forehead again. "Honey, stop doing that." Black hole says, patting his back.

"Uh...Hunger Games?" Liy guesses, staring at the blob of color Pillow created. "Yup! Good job!" Pillow smiles, putting the crayon down.

"Hunger Games?"  I ask, staring at the abstract image Tree created. "Oh! I see!! I see the big thing where you get all the loot!!" Marker smiles, pointing at a blob.

"The cornucopia?" Tree asks, Marker nods in response. 

"Yeah, okay. Point for us!" Fanny smiles, grabbing the dice. "Oh, a three..." Liy says, moving their marker.

"Orange space. Lightning, Pen, you're up." Tree says, handing us a card.

I examine it, looking for the orange space. 'Yoyle berries'. "Alright...you ready?" Pen asks, I nod.

"Three, two, one, go!" Liy says, flipping the hour glass again.

"Doggy on a skateboard with sunglasses and a phone!" Bottle yells our again, I shake my head. "Not even close..."
