Race blindly shuffles his way to his closet to dig out some emergency candles as Spot watched. Race placed them strategically around the living room and lit each one, slowly restoring their vision.

  After lighting some candles, Race finally sits back down. Spot has been watching Race closely since he said he could stay over. They sat in an awkward silence. Race was at a loss for words for the first time in his life. He wasn't sure how to ask Spot about his recent change in behavior.

  After what felt like hours, Spot was the one to speak up. "So what are we going to do? This is getting boring." Race chuckles nervously. Spot glares at him lightly, "You have no idea do you."

  Race scratches the back of his head, avoiding Spot's gaze. Spot rolls his eyes at his friend. He finally took account of the room: candle lighting, them sitting beside each other. He saw a disaster waiting to happen.

Well, what he thought would be a disaster...

  "So-" They both start at the same time. "You first- no you-" Spot glares at Race, making sure he won't talk, and says, "Since we can't watch any movies, how about we play some games." Race nods rapidly, having been saved from asking Spot his question.

  He hurried back to the closet and give a quiet sigh of relief. He pretends to dig out some games as he buys time for himself. He mentally thinks up casual ways to bring up Spot's change in behavior. However, all of them were terrible and ended badly.

  Race takes a deep breathe and shuts the closet door with a stack of board games in his hands. He sets them on the coffee table and kneels beside it. Spot scoffs, "Really? Candy Land?" Race defends, "It's a classic!" Spot chuckles, "Oh, what do you have to say about Chutes and Ladders then?"

  Race smiles and laughs along with Spot. He was glad to see his old friend back. "Fine. Then, how about Trouble?" "But that ain't fun with two people!"

  Race laughs, "That's what you say for all my board games!" "It's true!" They go into a fit of laughter. They clutch their stomachs as they laugh too hard. After what felt like forever, they calmed down. Leaving them with smiles resting peacefully on their faces.

Okay, so I was wondering if you all wanted to have some of your ideas added into the story. I figured that way chapters might come out a bit quicker and you all can have a say it what happens. But if you don't like the idea, that's okay. Tell me what you think in the comments pls!
