"Pinkie..." Twilight pleaded with Pinkie. "I really don't think this is a good idea."
"Why not?" she asked, clearing the table. "It's an easy and fun card game!"
"Easy, yes. Fun? Debatable. I just don't want what happened last time we played this to happen again." Twilight reminded her.
"Oh it'll be fine Twilight! Learn to live a little." Pinkie replied with a roll of her eyes. "Everyone ready for the best game EVER!?" she exclaimed.
"Sorry, but that title goes to Cards Against Equines." Rainbow Dash said, leaning back in the chair.
"Oh please, darling. That game is simply atrocious. It's so...barbaric." Rarity said, remembering the last time they played. It took them the whole night to get Fluttershy to stop crying from, 'What is Celestia's hidden pleasure? Philomena's burnt corpse.'
"I agree. It's so inappropriate." Fluttershy said shuddering.
"Can't we play Apples to Apples? It's just like CAE, but more family friendly." Applejack suggested.
"Oh please not that kid's game." Rainbow groaned.
"Come on guys!" Pinkie pleaded. "Can we just play Uno?"
Twilight sighed and rubbed her forehead, preparing for what was about to happen. "Fine. But only one game."
"YES!" Pinkie shouted as she dealt each of them seven cards. "Same rules as before. 7's and 0's are active, you can jump in, stacking is allowed, and you're allowed to bluff." She flipped over the first card, and hell began.
1 hour later
Twilight looked over her cards and sighed. This game was lasting a lot longer than she had wanted. But she only had two cards left and neither of them were the green she needed. She drew and was hoping for a wild card so she could change the color to the Blue she needed. "Son of a-" she murmured as she drew a yellow 2.
"Cards not working right for you, huh Twi?" Rainbow grinned as she placed a reverse. Twilight glared at Rainbow.
"Sorry Dash, but I think I'll let Rarity have a go." Applejack said, jumping in with her own reverse.
"Finally!" Rarity yelled. She had been skipped over or had to draw two for the past five minutes. She placed a green two down, and Fluttershy followed it with a seven.
"Um, I'll take your cards Pinkie." she said, exchanging hands with a still somehow cheerful Pinkie.
"Enjoy!" she said, Fluttershy giving a noticeable grimace.
Pinkie hummed as she drew her next card. "Ooooo. Sorry Twilight." she said smiling as she placed a draw four on the table. I'll make it Blue."
"Oh NOW you make it Blue?!" Twilight said clearly frustrated. She drew her four cards and groaned. All red.
"Draw two AJ." Rainbow said.
"Nah, I'll let Rarity draw." Applejack said, stacking her own draw two on the pile.
"I swear to Celestia, Applejack, if you screw me over again I'll forget about Appleblooms costume in the school play." Rarity threatened as she drew her cards.
Fluttershy followed up with her own wild. "Red." she said quickly.
Pinkie chuckled. "Here you go!" she said, placing a red two down.
Twilight followed with her yellow two she previously drew. They went around again a few times with no big mishaps. Other than Twilight having to draw on each of her next turns, it went well. Pinkie had gotten the short end of the draw and had about 10 total with Twilight and the others having four or less.
"Sorry Fluttershy, but it's all I have." Rarity said, placing a draw four down. "Green." she said, causing Twilight to groan.
"Unfortunately I don't have a green." she said. "But, Pinkie? Would you mind drawing eight? And I'll change it to Blue."
Pinkie sucked in her breath through her teeth. "Sorry Twi." she said, showing a hint of regret. But I preferred Green." she said placing another draw four.
Twilight lost it. "BULLSHIT! YOU'RE SAYING IN THAT MOUNTAIN OF CARDS YOU HAVE, YOU DON'T HAVE A SINGLE FUCKING BLUE?!?!?!" she shouted.
"Yep." Pinkie replied back calmly. "Want to check to see if I'm lying?"
"Show them." she said through gritted teeth. Pinkie showed Twilight her cards, being careful to cover up the numbers and icons so just the color was visible.
"Told ya." Pinkie said with a small smile. "That'll be 14 cards now."
Twilight's eyes blazed in a fiery hate for this pink demon next to her. "I'll fucking destroy you when I get the chance." she said fiercely, drawing 14 new cards from the deck. She shuffled the cards that were already played back into a new deck. She looked at the deck she now held in front of her and gave a wry smile. Hey Rainbow? Want to reverse it?"
"If it keeps me away from your revenge, by all means." she said, placing a Blue reverse down.
"Draw two Pinkie." she said as she placed the card down. It wasn't anywhere near what she had received, but when you also draw the remaining draw fours, you can't wait to use them.
"That's fair." she said drawing two.
Fluttershy played a three, and Rarity played a zero, sending all of their cards to the pony on their left. "Damnit Rarity!" Applejack exclaimed. "Why not just give Rainbow Dash the win?"
"Better than you, miss skip everypony at the table." Rarity said begrudgingly.
"Geez, Applejack. Nice cards."
"Yeah, well don' get used to it." she said, playing a wild. "Gonna be yellow."
"Buck you." Rainbow said. She drew and immediately played a draw two.
"Draw four Pinkie." Twilight said.
"Sorry, Fluttershy."
Fluttershy stared Pinkie down before she placed the card down. "Don't. You. Dare." she said.
"Um...You know that's fine, I'll just...draw my cards." Pinkie said nervously. Fluttershy placed a Yellow three down.
"I'ma just jump in here." Applejack said.
"You ungrateful farmer!" Rarity spewed.
"Go build a dress, miss fashion wanna be."
"HOW DARE YOU!" Rarity spewed.
"Uh, Twilight, let's finish this before things get out of hoof." Rainbow said, placing a Blue three down.
"I'd be more than willing to if the color could stop changing." Twilight said, frustrated. She drew a blue reverse and sent it back to Rainbow, who placed a Blue nine down.
"Uno." Fluttershy said, jumping in,
"Heh heh...Sorry again Twi." Pinkie said placing a draw four.
"FUCK YOU, YOU PINK PIECE OF-" Twilight started before being interrupted by Fluttershy.
"I win." she said, jumping in with her last draw four card.
"DAMNIT." Twilight exclaimed. "I would've won if Pinkie over here didn't make me draw 14 FUCKING CARDS." Twilight shouted angrily.
"At least you got to play." Rarity said tossing her cards on the table.
"Oh for pete sakes you ended with less cards than me!" Applejack exclaimed.
"Only because I wasn't forced to draw. Instead it was 'let's just skip rarity so she never gets a turn. Oh I'll just jump in and ignore Rarity. She doesn't need a turn.'" she said in a mocking voice. "I sat there for five minutes watching everyone else play their cards!"
"Well at least you did better than Twilight." Rainbow said.
Twilight growled at her. "Shut the hell up! You didn't help!"
"It's not a team game! And if I really wanted to I could beat all of you against me." she bragged.
"Wanna bet?" Twilight snarled getting in her face.
"Girls, come on it's just a game." Pinkie said, trying to diffuse the situation, but it was too late. Everyone was now shouting and arguing at each other. She shrugged and walked upstairs with Fluttershy behind her.
"Well, that didn't take as long as last time." Fluttershy said.
"Nope!" Pinkie said pulling a list out from a drawer. "I can check Uno off the list of games that are safe to play here."
"Still lasted longer than Monopony."
"Yeah I'm glad we don't play that anymore. Twilight and Rainbow get too competitive at board games." Fluttershy said, looking over Pinkie's shoulder to read the list.
"Hmmm....OH!" Pinkie exclaimed. "I know what game we can play!"
"What?"
"Who's more likely! Come on! I think I saw it in town!" Pinkie said as they ran back downstairs. The others had settled down and no longer shouting at each other. "So Uno is now off the list. But I think there's another game we can play that will test how well we know each other."
Twilight groaned again. "No more games Pinkie. Not today."
Pinkie chuckled. "It'll be fun. I promise." she said.
Twilight rolled her eyes. "What game is it?"
Author's Note
I know this isn't one of my best works but I've been wanting to jump back into writing for awhile now. So I figured why not try this. Hope you enjoyed it.
