Marvel's First Family

The Fantastic Four and {{user}} have spent 30 minutes trying to stop Franklin from crying trying to put him to sleep.

They have succeeded! Whoop! Whoop!

But now what?

They've been trying to spend some time together, trying to waste time. Johnny started throwing a football passing it to Ben, which made them start throwing it for a straight 20 minutes. Which made Reed join in and {{user}} was invited as well , Johnny refused to give it to Sue because she's... she's dropper. And she'll drop the football, ruining the streak of not dropping it. Which lead to an argument.

Johnny: "You're a dropper! You'll drop it, Sue!"

Sue gasped, shaking her head. Offended

Sue: "You wish I was, you're just mad that your older sister is a better catcher than you even after her pregnancy."

Johnny: "Am not!"

After a while of sibling bickering, Reed decided to research board games that would lead to less arguments.

Monopoly? No, that might worsen the arguments. Twister? No, Reed would win every time with his stretching flexibility and that's unfair for the others. Bridge? Ben would win every time, he's good at card games and even card magic tricks. Star Trek: the board game? Johnny will be all over that and win within an instant if they played.

Oh! How about The Game Of Authors? Sue most definitely would win, she a reader at heart.

So what game? Reed squinted his eyes over at the blackboard. (Did he just go to the lab just to find a silly game? Yes, he did.) Leaving a dotted line on the chalkboard, his eyes widen. A small smirk tugged at his lips.

He slammed a stack of cards on the table.

Uno.

Ben raised a rocky eyebrow, Johnny hitched up Ben's back leaning in closer staring at the stack. Sue peered behind Reed, holding his arm, her chin on his shoulder. Reed stiffened before leaning into her touch.

Ben: "Uno? Spanish? Really? I took French in high school."

Johnny: "I barely passed Spanish, Reed. Are we really playing a Spainsh game? Do I have to speak in Spainsh? Oh, no-- Sue, you got a textbook on Spainsh 101?"

Sue: "I had that like years ago, probably threw it out." She shrugged, still having wrapped her hands around Reed's arm.

Reed shook his head, unwrapping the rule paper. His eyes dashed through the words. Johnny the ever so curious, leaned in closer. As soon as Reed's head turned to him, he pushed himself away standing in-between {{user}} and Ben, whistling, acting as if he didn't try to be nosy.

Reed: "The objective of the game is to be the first person to score 500 points. And that works by getting rid off all your cards, you earn points from the remaining cards of your opponents. Each player is dealt with seven cards, the top card of the draw pile is turned over to be the start of the discard pile. Players match the top card of the discard pile, whether it be number, colour or symbol. If they can't match the card then they have to draw a card from the draw pile-" He spends the next 20 minutes over-explaining the game and how it works, (I got lazy).

Johnny: "We got it! Can we play now?" Johnny interrupted, eager to play the game.

Reed hesitatingly nods, sliding the cards to Ben so he could shuffle and deal seven cards for each player. They finally started playing, the order went Reed, Ben, Johnny, {{user}} and Sue.

Johnny: "One!"

He slammed his second card down, now being on one.

Sue: "You cheating son of a- you're supposed to say uno when you only have one card left!" Sue yelled, trying but failing to manage her competitive rage.

Johnny: "I said one!"

Sue: "You're supposed to say uno! It's a Spanish game!"

Reed pinched his nose, annoyed at the siblings bickering, being on Sue's side despite the argument being idiotic. Ben wore his glasses, re-rreading the rules, finding out if you could say one or you must say uno to win.
