"Board Game Night"


"Board game night."


Nick placed his piece on the last square. He smugly rocked back in his chair, addressing the loser.

"I won!" He exclaimed. "Again!"

Judy knocked her own piece away. "I hate this game!" She crossed her arms. "You always win."

Nick rubbed his knuckles against his shirt. "I know, that's why this is my favorite game."

Judy rolled her eyes and picked up her piece from the game of Furlopoly. The rules were confusing (I'd go with "the rules were confusing" or "the rules confused her"), she kept losing her money to Nick and she always got stuck with the piece that looked like a shoe. She pushed the game away in annoyance.

"I'm picking the next game." She said, going to their stack of board games that was set beside them. Nick sat cross-legged on the floor watching her pick."They spent their weekends watching movies or playing board games together. After a long week of catching criminals in Zootopia, they both would need a bit of relaxation.

Recently though, Judy had been in an extremely competitive mood. All of his winning had started to wear her down. She intently stared at the options in front of her, trying to figure out how high of a chance she had of winning. Nick already knew that the odds of her winning any of the games were slim, due to the fact. He had won in every game from their large selection, numerous times.

"I have an idea." He started. "Let's play a new game."

She gave him a frown. "I'm not playing cards with you again, Nick."

"No, not that, a brand new game."

"Well...okay, what's the game?"

"Predator and prey." She rolled her eyes, having already decided that she didn't want to play. "No, this is a good game, I swear, it's like hide and seek."

"Fine, tell me the rules." She said, giving in.

He smirked. "It's easy, I'll be the prey and you will be the predator." Her ears perked with interest. "But you'll be blindfolded."

Her ears went down. "But how will I win?"

"This is where the hide and seek part comes in; you have to find me by hearing and smelling plus it's on a three-minute time limit."

"O-Kay.." She said slowly, unsure of how it would turn out but willing to try.

"I'm also allowed to move around the room." He continued. "And if you catch me, you win whatever you want."

"So we're betting?"

"Sure, why not?" He smiled. "Anything the winner wants."

"Deal! Let's start." she said excitedly. This might be the one game that she could win at. Nick took off his tie and wrapped it over her eyes. Completely blinded, Nick grabbed her paws and brought her up to her feet.

"Alright," Nick began, taking a step back. "I'm setting the timer on my phone." Judy noticed that his voice was starting to sound far-away, trying to find a place to hide. "Okay, get ready, I'm starting the timer...now!"

Judy lifted her ears up, listening for any distinct sounds. She moved her ears around the room like radars dishes. If she could count on anything, it was her ears. She heard something shift to the right, making her take a step. Her toe slammed against the coffee table, making her shout out in pain. A muffled snicker echoed through the room.

"Ow." she rubbed her injured foot. "That's not funny, Nick..." She muttered. Ignoring the pain she took a step to the side, avoiding her coffee table. She moved her feet carefully across the rug, wary of the many pieces of furniture scattered around the room. If she wants to find Nick in time, she would have to move faster. She put out her paws, hoping to encounter Nick as she felt the air. Her paws hit the TV screen, and as she slid them down she felt the DVD case and then her furry house plant. She stopped, patting her plant. When did it become furry? With realization, she grabbed it.

"Gotcha!" She removed the blindfold and found Nick holding a sleepy gaze. She had her paws on his face. She blushed lightly.

He lifted his phone. "And just in time, Whiskers."

"Yes!" She cheered, fist pumping the air.

"Now, what is it the winner wants?" He asked, and she tapped her chin in thought. 'What is it that I really wants?' She asked could take his money, or make him dance for her amusement, or maybe even make him clean up his car. She snapped her fingers, an answer finally coming to mind.

"Let's play another game.." She smiled, and his brow cocked in confusion.

"Another game? That's all you want?"

"No, we are going to play more games but I'm going to win and you can't."

His arms dropped. "So no matter what I do, I will always lose?"

She nodded, holding a large smile. He frowned and let out a groan.

"Okay fine! Whatever the winner wants..."
