Broken (Smosh)

The Games Begin

The next morning we were up at seven, driving to the Smosh Headquarters to load the vans. Ian ditched me, stuffing me into a van with a bunch of strangers while he and Anthony rode alone to discuss the future games. We started the drive back to Tennessee, the place where I have lived for the last ten years of my life.

When we arrived in the state, we drove to my apartment so that I could pack more winter clothes for the week, grabbing my bikini on request of the producers. The group waited in the car, and when I returned we finished our expedition to the cabin on one of Tennessee's Smokey Mountains.

I rarely traveled to this part of Tennessee, and the view was more beautiful than I could recall, "I used to come up here to hike," I said as we drove up the side of the mountain, "The sights are gorgeous."

"You like to hike?" Mari asked from behind me with a bright smile, pulling her purple hair off of her neck, "That's so cool! So do I!"

The camera's faced us as we exited the vans, capturing our reactions as we entered the large wooden cabin, "Where are we sleeping?" I heard a male voice ask as I followed the crowd into a room of bunk beds, "Dibs!" I turned to see the orange haired owner of the voice for the first time, claiming his spot on one of the bottom bunks.

"Be my bunk buddy!" Mari said excitedly, claiming the bed beside him by climbing to the top. I handed her the smaller of her bags and rolled her suitcase towards the wall, placing my bags on the bed below hers.

"Hey, you're Ian's sister, right?" The orange haired boy asked with a smile, "People call me Lasercorn!"

"My name is Eden," I told him, dreading the fact that I was known for being the unaccomplished little sister of a famous youtuber.

He smiled for a short moment before glancing up at Mari. She dangled her feet off of the top bunk and swung them towards his face, "Hey L Corn," she laughed deviously as he swatted her feet away, stepping to the side, "How are you doing down there?"

I was introduced to everyone, but I stuck by Mari, feeling comfortable around her, "Everyone to the living room!" Someone called loudly after everyone had gotten settled in the cabin, "It's time to pick teams!"

We herded into the living room and stood in front of the fire place, "I hope I'm on your team," I whispered to Mari as we packed ourselves into the small area. She agreed, and we waited until the cameras were rolling, screaming, "Smosh Winter Games, again!"

Ian and Anthony stood at the front of the ground, introducing the games, "And this year the team's will be even," Ian said, reaching his arm back to find me, but grabbing Noah instead. He glanced back to see Noah wearing the awkwardly fluffy hat and laughed, reaching around him to take my hand, "because my sister is here!!" He shouted, raising my hand into the air as everyone cheered. I glanced to see Anthony hesitantly smiling and waved to the camera before moving back to stand beside Mari.

"I just don't want to be picked last," I whispered to Mari as the boys continued to introduce the games.

"Ian won't let that happen," she said to me with a smile. We both cheered as the names of the teams were announced, Dablizzards and Spaghetti Yetis.

Ian and Anthony played a round of rock, paper, scissors, deciding that Anthony would choose his team mate first, "You know," he began, taking his hands from his pockets, "I'm gonna begin the games strong and start some drama," the crowd began to grow in suspense, oohing, "My first choice for the Spaghetti Yetis is," he paused, my heart rate quickly increasing, "Eden!"

Of course.

"You took my sister!" Ian shouted as Anthony reached for my hand, helping me forward, "That's not cool!" A bright yellow hoodie was thrown at me and I caught it before it could fly over my head.

I handed it to Anthony for a moment and began to pull off the hoodie I wore, "Take it off!" Everyone began to chant. I noticed Ian covering his eyes and my shirt slipped to expose my lower stomach.

"No! No! No!" Ian shouted at the crowd, everyone laughing as he reached forward to pull down my shirt. I pulled the yellow sweatshirt over my head. Everyone cheered and I took a step back to stand beside Mari. She nudged me playfully and flashed me a secretive smile.

The teams fell into place, and I was separated from Mari almost immediately. My team consisted of Lasercorn, Wes, Courtney, Shane, Sohinki, Flitz, and Anthony. Flitz lifted me onto his shoulders as everyone skipped around us for the team picture, shouting, "Spaghetti Yetis!"

Flitz took me off of his shoulders, commenting that I wasn't heavy with a cute chuckle. Ian hugged his arm around my shoulders, guiding me away from the living room, saying, "We are enemies now, sis," he huffed, "I didn't think Anthony would start off the games on such a negative note, but, now that I have no choice, I will destroy you!"

"Yeah, right," I said to him, rolling my eyes as his arm fell to his side, "You're team doesn't stand a chance!"
