UnOrdinary Changes

Chapter #16 Blyke

        The class had finally ended, and I dragged Remi over to the roof to have lunch.

        "Strategy." I told her in a serious voice. "We need to find a strategy that will help us win this little competition!"

          She nodded, "Okay, I suggest you stop calling it little though. With John and Altruistic joining, I doubt it will be that easy."

          "Defamatory will be tough, but I'm guessing that Altruistic should be a lot easier." I grinned, "she is by herself."

            Remi shook her head crazily, "she may not be powerful enough to beat us, but she certainly could track us from miles away. Besides, she's a genius!"

            I shrugged, "that's true... last just hope it doesn't involve any hiding from her, or we will be done for."

            Remi nodded,"so what strategy do you have in mind?"

           I put a hand to my chin and thought about it. "Well... that's what I wanted to figure out."

            Remi put her hands on her hips, "that's what you need to figure out. You know how horrible I am with strategy."

             My hand flew to my mouth to try to stop the laughter. "Your right....ha......you have absolutely no strategy."

              She frowned, "remember when we were playing 'Risk', and I took over South America and made a base there?"

            I pointed at her, "that was a good strategy, but what you did after..."

           "I know, I know," she interrupted, "I used all the soldiers and everything I had to try to conquer the lower area of North America."

            "And you completely blew it!" I laughed, "you used every single one of your soldiers, until you had no more to waste..."

           Remi crossed her arms and pouted, "oh come on, give me some credit, I was able to save that much soldiers!"

           "You forgot you have horrible luck with the dice!"

           "It's not my fault the dice only gives me ones or twos!" The pinkette growled.

            I patted her head, "that's okay," I promised, "it just means that I will always win when we play Risk, nothing wrong with that."

             She glowered at me and gave me a pointed stare.

             "Why don't we talk about the strategy then?" I asked, trying to lighten the mood.

              "Okay," she agreed, "what do you think will happen tomorrow?"

             I chuckled, "you still haven't found that out? It's okay though, I can tell you." I paused, "tomorrow we will be doing the first trial. I would guess that there would be three trials, and every time one team loses, they are eliminated."

            "That makes sense," Remi agreed, "Do you think that the trials will vary?"

           I nodded, "yes, but let's hope it doesn't get too complicated on physical attacking. Some of the teams could easily take us down."

            "And what about for knowledge and such," Remi asked.

           I grinned, "that's where I come in, Altruistic would win it no matter the test. But Elaine doesn't pay much attention in class, and John is barely ever there."
