Family Among Us

Part 11- Competition!!!

Sun spilled through the window, casting warm golden rays across Y/N's living room. She sat cross-legged on the carpet, surrounded by Red, Black, and the other crewmates, who were all buzzing with excitement. Today was special: it was the day of Red and Black's friendly competition. Y/N smiled as the small figures prepared themselves, their tiny faces filled with determination.

"Alright, everyone," Y/N announced, clapping her hands lightly, "we have a series of fun challenges today. I'll be the judge, and you all need to play fair. Got it?"

"Squeak(Alright)!" Red nodded eagerly, his eyes glimmering with excitement.

Black crossed his arms, a smirk playing on his lips. "Squeak-sqeee Squeak (Tch, fair? I don't need any tricks to win)."

"Squeak (Oh, we'll see about that)," Red shot back playfully, his tiny visor gleaming.

The other crewmates gathered around, forming a semi-circle, their voices overlapping in a symphony of cheers and chants.

"Go, Red! You've got this!" shouted Yellow, bouncing on his little feet.

"No way! Black's gonna wipe the floor with him!" Purple chimed in, eyes sparkling with mischief.

Y/N couldn't help but laugh at their enthusiasm. "Alright, let's start with the first challenge: the race!" She pointed to a small, makeshift track she'd set up, complete with paper obstacles and tiny ramps.

Red and Black lined up at the starting point, their miniature shoes squeaking against the floor.

"On your mark... get set... go!" Y/N called.

The two shot forward, tiny legs pumping furiously. Red took an early lead, nimbly hopping over a folded piece of paper and sliding under a makeshift tunnel. Black, not to be outdone, sped up, vaulting over a paperclip and catching up. The other crewmates erupted into shouts.

"Run, Red, run!" Blue hollered, waving his arms.

"Black, don't let him win!" Green yelled, nearly toppling over with excitement.

The finish line drew closer, and both competitors lunged forward at the same time. They crossed the line in a blur, landing in a heap.

"That... was intense," Y/N chuckled, reaching out to separate them. "First challenge goes to red!"

Red and Black exchanged a glance— red giving black a small smile, while gets a little irked by it—before dusting themselves off.

"Alright, next up: the art competition," Y/N declared, setting out tiny colored pencils and paper.

Red grabbed a pencil with both hands, sticking his tongue out as he focused. He drew sweeping curves and cheerful figures, adding splashes of vibrant color. Black, on the other hand, worked with precise, sharp lines, creating a bold design that looked like an abstract cityscape.

The room was filled with the sound of soft scratching as the other crewmates leaned in, eyes wide.

"Ooh, look at Red's! It's so happy!" Yellow squealed.

"Nah, Black's got the edge," Blue muttered, folding his tiny arms.

After a few minutes, Y/N inspected their work, a grin spreading across her face. "This one goes to black! However, You both did amazing."

Red sulked, while Black gave a small, satisfied nod.

"Time for the gaming challenge!" Y/N said, turning on the TV and setting up two small controllers. "The first to beat the Enderdragon in Minecraft wins!"

Black's eyes glinted with determination. "You're going down," he muttered.

"We'll see about that," Red shot back, gripping his controller.

As they navigated their blocky worlds, the other crewmates chattered excitedly.

"Watch out for the lava, Red!" Green yelled.

"Black, you need more arrows!" Blue added.

The screen was a flurry of action—Red building bridges, dodging fireballs, and gathering supplies while Black moved with expert precision, attacking the Ender Dragon with flawless aim. Finally, in a perfectly synchronized move, both dragons fell, pixelated roars echoing as their screens flashed the victory text.

"Unbelievable!" Y/N laughed. "As expected this one goes to black leaving him in the lead!"

Red and Black exchanged a look, then black puffed out his chest with pride.

"Final challenge: the race car showdown," Y/N said, placing two toy cars on the floor with their remote controls.

"Ready, set, go!"

The little cars zoomed off, weaving through table legs and around cushions. Red's car took sharp, daring turns, nearly flipping over with each swerve. Black's car was steady, each movement calculated.

"Come on, Red! Faster!" Yellow screamed.

"Black, show him who's boss!" Purple cheered.

In a last-second burst of speed, both cars skidded to the finish line, with red slightly passing black.

Y/N clapped, her eyes sparkling. "And red is the winner! Which means you both win." She handed them tiny, hand-crafted paper trophies and gently patted their heads. "Great job, guys. You're both champions."

Red's face lit up with joy, while Black gave a small, proud smile. The room filled with cheers and laughter, a perfect end to their friendly competition.
