Bored Games

The six teenagers sat lazily around the room, occupying themselves with the nothing that surrounded them. They had been unbelievably bored ever since their last mission two weeks before and had absolutely nothing to do while they waited for another one.

Wally finished chewing his last cookie and dramatically threw himself into Robin.

"Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo BORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He said. Robin continued his Sudoku without replying to his best friend. He couldn't help if he tried.

Suddenly, M'gann stood up from her spot next to Connor. "I know, board games!" Connor and Kaldur frowned, Wally groaned, and Robin and Artemis didn't even look up.

"What is a 'bored game?'" Kaldur asked. "Is it something you do when you are bored?"

M'gann smacked her forehead. "Hello, Meagan! You guys have never played a board game! Kaldur, you're thinking of the other kind of board, B-O-R-E-D. A board game type of board is spelled B-O-A-R-D."

"Ah, yes," Kaldur said. "My King once attempted to teach me how to play one of those. I believe it was called Candy Land."

Wally turned to M'gann, still sprawled over Robin. "Hang on, beautiful. How do you know what a board game is?"

M'gann laughed. "I watch a lot of Earth programs in my free time. They play them on TV more than you'd think."

"I'm still not sure what they are, but they sound fun." Connor said. M'gann smiled at him. "Where can we get one?"

"Actually, I found one a while ago that I keep forgetting to play with you guys. I think Robin will especially like it."

M'gann led the others into Wally's souvenir room and opened a drawer.

"Ta-da!" She shouted triumphantly, then after noticing a strange look from Kaldur she glanced at the drawer. I had a lot of blank paper in it as well as...a journal?

Wally rushed past and slammed the drawer shut before zipping to the other side of the room to retrieve a box from a shelf.

"Who wants to play Clue?" He asked, grinning a little too wide as he tried to hide his embarrassment.

Robin was the first to speak up. "Oh, come on, I'll have an unfair advantage! Trained by the world's greatest detective mean anything to you?"

"Yeah right, pipsqueak," Wally countered. "I bet I'll figure out the killer way before you!"

M'gann, Kaldur, and Connor looked at each other. "What's 'Clue'?"

Wally's jaw dropped. "You don't know Clue?!? Rob, they don't know Clue!"

"Seriously? We are so playing!"

"I can't believe they don't know Clue!"

"I call Scarlett since I'm red!"

"It's like the best game in existence!"

"Who do you guys want to be?"

"Wait, Robbie don't be Scarlett she's a girl."

"So what? Color not gender, KF."

"Dude. Why."

"Why not?"

"WHAT IS GOING ON?!?" Artemis finally said what everyone else was thinking. She'd heard of Clue, but she'd never played before.

Robin and Wally turned to the group and grinned simultaneously.

"Everybody make a circle," Robin directed, and they followed his lead and sat on the ground.

"Okay," Wally started, "here's the deal. There are six characters and they all have stupid names and dress like they bought their clothes straight from Crayola."

"Not important," Robin said, glaring at his friend. "The only thing you really need to know is that one of the six characters killed a man and the point of the game is to find out who it was."

"Rob and I can set up the game, we'll explain what we're doing."

"Right. First, we pick three cards to put in that tiny envelope over there. One is the murderer, one is the weapon, one is the location."

"We can't look at the cards yet though or that would ruin the game."

"Now we give everybody the same amount of cards from the remaining pile."

"Now we pick characters, I call Mustard!"

"Now who's dumb?"

"What?"

"Mustard is like, crazy old. Why would you pick him?"

"Better than being Scarlett! You know she's a whore, right?"

M'gann cleared her throat. "Can I be the blue one?"

Soon, everyone had their pieces. Robin was Miss Scarlett, Wally was Mr Mustard, M'gann Mrs Peacock, Artemis Mrs White, Kaldur Professor Plum, Connor Mr Green.

Wally picked up the dice and grinned like a maniac. "And now, we play!" He rolled triumphantly and the game began.

Needless to say, Robin won.

He also one the second time.

And the third time.

But everyone had fun anyway, especially after Wally stopped complaining about "no super powers my butt" and "stupid Boy Wonder."
