Short Fun Writing Challenge

Prompt #5

The normal event that went bizzare was a family game night. Hope it's weird, my original plan got deleted so I came up with this last night. XD

“Don’t look, don’t look, don’t look, don’t...crap, I looked!” Jason whined, as he peeked between my fingers.

“Language Jason!” I scolded him as I covered his eyes with both of my hands this time.

“But Simone...I saw them kissing! That’s gross!” Jason, my seven year old brother complained.

“I told you not to look,” I remind him as I look at the screen again to see that the  scene wasn’t over. Peter needs to calm his hormones. This is supposed to be a family movie. So shouldn’t we watch it as a family...

“Okay, you can look now. Peter’s mask is back on,” I say and Jason opens his eyes slowly.

“LIAR!!” Jason screeches and I smirk.

“You already looked for a second, you can look again.” I shrug my shoulders, trying to fight the smile spreading on my face.

“MO-OM!” Jason screams, running out of the living room and into the kitchen. “SIMONE MADE ME WATCH A KISSING SCENE!” Jason shouts and I chuckle, switching the TV channel to something that I haven’t watched twenty-five times-something that is not Spider-Man. Tom and Jerry started playing and I immediately turned up the volume. Though the show doesn’t have dialogue, I love the background music. I laugh as I watch Tom chase Jerry in and out of the construction site and I fall off the sofa when I see Jerry trap Tom in the cardboard box.

“Simone? What are you doing?” I look up to see my dad watching me in amusement.

“Tom and Jerry! They’re hilarious!” I gasp. I double over, clutching my stomach, trying to stop the pain stabbing me in the guts.

“Simone? You need help,” My dad says as he walks away.

“Ahh, but father dear, your blood is in me. We are the same. So you need help too!” I call after him, lowering my voice and making it raspy.

“We all need help!” My mom shouts from the living room and I laugh once more.

“Yeah we do! All Cross’s do. Aunt Stacy was in the asylum for how long? Seven years? And Uncle Robert was in jail for twelve years and Uncle Jasper was in rehab for three. We all are crazy, mother of mine!” I chuckle and my mom laughs at me.

“Very funny dear. Come on. Dinner is ready!” I crawl over to the dining table, which was only a couple feet away. Our apartment was small, but we didn’t need anything bigger. I slid into the nearest chair just as my mom puts the salad bowl on the table.

“I call the Spaghetti!” I declare, holding up my plate so my mom could serve me my favorite dish.

I dig into the meal, not bothering to wait for it to cool down.

“Slow down Simone. You’re going to choke,” My dad warns me and I put my fork down, slurping the l last piece of noodle into my mouth.

“What game are we playing tonight? It’s family-night Friday!” Jason asks excitedly and my mom looks at me.

“It’s Simone’s turn to choose.”

“NO! Last time, she made us play that Horton Hears a Who game and I had to wear an elephant mask that whole time. It was stupid!” Jason argues and I smile innocently.

“Language Jason. Stupid isn’t a nice word!” Mom interrupts and Jason crosses his arms, pouting.

“We won’t play that. Today, we’ll play a different game.”
