You are sitting behind the cameras waiting for everyone to enter the studio for your next shoot. Your boyfriend Spencer is by your side the two of you arguing over what you will have for lunch today, him obviously repping homestate and you trying to convince him that the chilli’s triple dipper would be the superior option. Obviously you could both get separate things for lunch but no one in the studio would dare say that, not willing to be met with confused glares from the two of you for such a crazy suggestion.
“I'M GOING TO BEAT YOUR ASSES” Angela yells as she tumbles onto the games set, her entrance a mixture of skipping, some kind of leap and the least gracefully ballet twirl you had ever seen.
You shake your head at the antics of your dear friend and stand up, “We will discuss this after, I’m not budging though, I want the triple dipper Spence” you whine a little, your voice clearly laced with small giggles. Spencer can't help but smile up at you, the sweetness in your voice almost causing him to cave in and agree to your lunch suggestion right then and there, not that he would ever admit that to you.
“What if I just order homestate during the game” he lets out an exaggerated chuckle, as you freeze in place, your face displaying a stunned look. “You look like surprised pikachu” Spencer laughs even more now as your shock turns into a pout.
“You wouldn't actually do that right?” your pouting continues, now clearly done in a dramatic fashion to make your boyfriend feel bad.
“Of course I wouldn't do that Y/N/N. Now get over there, we need to start shooting” Spencer sends you a soft smile as he speaks, already knowing that he is going to end up with chillis for lunch as he can’t bring himself to say no to you.
★
“So nice of you to join as Y/N, what were you and Spencer so busy talking about?” Courtney asks in a teasing tone.
“Lunch” you state simply, not willing to give her the satisfaction of acknowledging the unstated questions that follow.
You already feel the chaotic energy simmering, today you are playing Moose Master with Courtney, Chanse, Amanda and Angela. Everyone had been excited to shoot this video since it was announced and that was abundantly clear with the laughter and teasing around the table while waiting for filming to start.
Amanda intros, talking about how Moose Master hadn’t been played in quite a long time and that everyone is really excited to play. She explains that the rules at the top of the game are that ‘you can’t say the word no’ and ‘you can 't point your finger’.
“We should all get it out now” Amanda states, everyone around the table yelling ‘no,no,no’ and pointing their fingers. You suggest that you should do a 5 way handshake that results in everyone at the table putting their hands together in a spiral.
“It’s going to be a good game, no hard feelings” you state, trying to start off on a good note and make a joke of the fact that you know things are going to get extremely competitive.
“Y/N said no” Alex calls out, you look towards him shocked as the game had not yet officially started, your eyes flicker to Spencer silently looking for help.
“The game hasn't started!” you call back, there are overlapping conversations that have broken out at the table and Spencer and Alex are clearly talking behind the camera. A few more “no’s” are thrown around the table with your castmates trying to defend you and Amanda ends up pointing at you which causes even more drama.
“Should we just start over? No penalty cards to be drawn yet” Spencer ‘asks’ but it's obvious that he has decided that this is what will be happening.
★
After the initial craziness the game starts off well. Courtney gets the question master card and asks a few questions which everyone at the table answers besides you, Courtney also breaks a rule by pointing to them which causes them to have to pull a card too. Angela ends up getting a lucky day card which she gives to you as you are the only person of the group who hasn't gotten a penalty card yet.
Angela and Chanse get bonus cards and are able to change the rules, Chanse makes it that ‘you can’t say yes’ and Angela changes a rule so now ‘you can’t show teeth’.
Chanse pulls the rock, paper, scissor card. He gets you and Amanda to play against each other. You and Amanda are neck and neck, both of you having won two times, this last round will be the decider.
“Rock, Paper, Scissors” Amanda says, putting up paper and you keep your hand balled up as you froze and didn’t move. “I WIN!” she calls out, doing a little happy dance as she beats you.
“Wait, that's no fair, I wasn’t ready” you whine out, trying to explain that you were not paying attention so you actually didn’t move.
“Redo” Spencer states simply, clearly taking your side in the argument. Amanda and the rest of the table start yelling, not happy that you’ve been defended by the director.
“Spencer, are you just going to side with your girlfriend every time?” “That’s so unfair” “This is favouritism” are just some of the calls which are heard. “Y/N wasn’t ready, she didn’t even more, it’s a redo, I would give that call for anyone” Spencer states shrugging, not leaving any room for arguments from the rest of the cast.
You and Amanda redo the match and you win, you quickly move on not wanting to gloat about the win seeing as it already seemed a little unfair that you were able to redo your turn thanks to Spencer.
Amanda pulls a card next getting moose master, she immediately raises her hands to her head to make antlers, everyone else following suit. You accidentally hit her as you raise your arms up causing her to scream out in pain. Her yelling takes away from the fact that you definitely raised your hands last.
“Amanda you can save the card for later, it doesn't have to be used now” Spencer calls out, just another way that he subtly, or not so subtly saves you from having to take a penalty card. She agrees and everyone moves on.
You are all joking around trying out different ways of talking with the ‘you can't use your teeth’ rule, everyone looking and sounding completely ridiculous.
Angela pulls the copycat master, she looks around trying to decide who she wants to give it to, her eyes land on you, but with everyone yelling, including Spencer calling out that it would be funny for her to give it to Amanda, her focus leaves you and she does give it to Amanda causing her have to copy whenever Angela sticks out her middle finger.
Amanda does her moose master and Angela loses, so she is able to get immediate payback, forcing Angela to say ‘let’s go baby!’ every time that she needs to pull a card.
Courtney pulls rock paper scissors and gets you and Angela to verse each other. You lose very easily, not winning a single round, and you are forced to take a penalty card, you now have two cards, still beating everyone else pretty easily. Your penalty card is a bonus so you are able to change a rule, you change the ‘you can’t show your teeth’ to ‘you can’t say the word turn’.
The next few turns are uneventful with Chanse picking up rhyme time, and using the word burn, it gets back to him and he says wyvern which Spencer and Alex argue does not rhyme. Amanda gets a bomb and pulls a lucky day card which she gives to Angela, the drama of Angela making her copy her action every five seconds fueling her decision. You pick the card slap jack and Chanse hits the table last, him accepting his fate and picking up a penalty card.
Angela looks off behind Amanda pretending that she sees something causing the latter to freak out, yelling about how she wasn’t going to fall for the stupid tricks and explaining to the group what was happening, everyone is laughing, the energy of the room being completely heightened.
“Did you also look Y/N?” Courtney asks through laughs as tears stream down her face.
“Maybe..” you duck your head embarrassed that someone noticed you falling for Angela’s trick. The table breaks out into even more laughter.
“Come on guys, lay off Y/N. Lets keep the game moving” Spencer calls out, doing his best to draw the attention away from you and have everyone focus on something else.
“Yeah guys, lets stop teasing Y/N/N, we’re making Spencey upset” Chanse says with a mock pout, clearly teasing some more causing another outburst of laughter.
Everyone moves on, with Angela getting a penalty for saying yes and Chanse finally picking up his penalty for losing slap jack, he gets a bonus card and changes one of the rules from ‘you can't say the word turn’ to ‘you can’t have your elbows on the table’.
Amanda is freaking out over her copycat master, her still being completely at Angela’s will and being forced to stick up her middle finger constantly. You tell her that if she misses it once she can just pull a penalty card and then she doesn't have to do it anymore, she continues yelling saying that isn't true and she’ll have to do it until someone else pulls the card. You lean back in your chair a little defeated from being yelled at even though you were just trying to help.
“Actually Amanda if you miss it you pull a card and it goes away” Spencer calls from behind the camera, backing you up once again. His comment causes you to smile a little, taking you away from the ping of sadness that hits your chest from Amanda saying you were wrong.
The game goes on with Courtney pulling the action story card and losing once it gets back around to her.
Angela touches the table with her elbow and you call the penalty, she groans and pulls a card, forgetting to say ‘lets go baby’ as she does causing her to need to pull another, this causes her to be hit 7 penalty cards and a meltdown ensues.
“Can we pleaseeeee go to 10” she begs, Amanda backing her up saying she should be allowed to keep playing so that everyone doesn’t have to feel bad for her getting out first. Angela adds to this claiming she will make everyone miserable if she has to be out of the game,
“Okay you are going to 10” Spencer calls out, allowing Angela to stay in the game and her whining to cease.
“See guys, Spencer isn't just siding with me, he is being fair” you stated bumping Angela's side to get her attention.
“You literally only have 2 cards because he has stopped you from getting like 10 Y/N!” Chanse calls across the table, this causes chaos to ensue with everyone arguing how many cards you would have if Spencer didn't keep saving you.
As everyone dies down Chanse pulls the name game card. “Orville Peck” he states.
Amanda calls out ‘Princess Diana’, immediately causing Alex to pipe up “not her name!”. Her eyes glare directly at Alex, she then backtracks yelling “fine! fine! Philip Seymour Hoffman, I didn't want to say it, R.I.P”
As Amanda continues to scramble, you throw out the name Dwayne ‘the rock’ Johnson, a little confused if the game is continuing or not.
Alex continues to argue that Amanda's turn is over as she fights this, claiming that her first name was for fun and the fans and that her second one was the actual name she was putting forward. “Amanda pull a card,” Alex calls.
“You’re literally out of your fucking mind Alex” Amanda glares straight through the cameras directly at him, everyone else breaking out in laughter.
She does pick a card though it being a bonus, and she changes the ‘you can’t say yes’ rule to ‘you can’t say anyone's name’.
“Nicknames don't count, right guys?” you ask the room, no one is listening to you as Courtney, Chanse and Angela have all received penalty cards for each saying each others names.
Courtney’s penalty card is a bonus as well and she changes the ‘you can't put your elbow on the table’ to ‘you must say i hate this family before you pull a card’.
Angela is still tormenting Amanda with the copycat master, but she misses out on doing it one time which allows her to stop but also makes her pull a penalty card.
Chanse adds the rule that you can’t use your right hand, Amanda comments that it is good for you as you are left handed. “So is court” you mention which causes uproar among the group with everyone claiming you said a name.
“Pull a card Y/N” Alex calls from behind the camera.
“Noooo guys, I tried to ask before if nicknames count and no one answered me! I clearly said a nickname not a name” you explain while everyone yells at you to take a card.
“She used a nickname, not a penalty” Spencer states disagreeing with Alex’s ruling, the uproar continuing as once again Spencer has turned the rules in your favour.
“This is going to be the most unfair win ever!” Amanda yells. “Why are you only defending your girlfiriend, Spencer?”
“I’m not guys, I’ve defended Angela a bunch. I’m just here to clarify if rules are being followed” Spencer shrugs causing groans to be heard across your castmates.
Subsequently Chanse gets echo master and makes Angela say ‘girl’ and Amanda gets copycat master and makes her snap her fingers, the two of them getting way too much enjoyment out of making the girl copy them both.
Next up you pull the rhyme time card, proudly saying that you want everyone to rhyme with poo. Angela is extremely preoccupied with Chanse and Amanda getting her to snap and say ‘girl’ over and over.
“I fear you must take a card” Spencer states as the moment moves forward, Angela still not having said a rhyming word. “You didn't rhyme anything with poo”
Amanda immediately tries to defend her saying it isn't fair as they were doing the copycat master.
Angela completely freaks about 6 cameras catching her be an ick but now she must take a card because she didn't rhyme anything with poo. The entire room is in hysterics, laughing heavily at what she is saying, even Courtney has fallen off her chair and is on the ground laughing at what is occurring at the table. While Courtney gets back up their right hand is which earns them a penalty, along with Angela pulling on which is a lucky day and is lovingly given off to Amanda.
Angela is next to draw a card, getting the question master which everyone fears from her as she plays it so well. Courtney gets categories and chooses types of dogs with Chanse immediately losing saying “dottwhiler” instead of ‘rottweiler’. Angela asks him if he has ever seen a dottwiller to which he replies “girl”, Angela is quick to argue that he deserves a penalty as he replied to her question without asking a question although both Alex and Spencer agree that he doesn’t get one. The game continues on quickly with Chanse pulling story time and Amanda who is right next to him losing, everyone is slowly or rather quickly descending into madness with the effects of the game driving everyone just a little bit crazy.
Amanda is forced to pull a penalty card, it becoming her 10th and her being out of the game, it is a bonus card which allows her to change a rule. Angela is relishing in no longer having to snap and Amanda is freaking out over being out, but from behind the cameras Alex and Spenser suggest that she changes a rule to say that you need 11 penalty cards to lose instead of 10 which she immediately does allowing her to be back in the game and you to point out that Spencer is helping people besides you. The new rule is not long celebrated as Angela asks a question which Amanda answers and she is now out of the game, only mere moments after getting her chance at still being in.
The next few rounds go by quickly with you getting slap jack and Angela earning a bummer card for being the last to hit the table. Angela pulls the action story and Courtney immediately loses it and uses her right hand which you call out causing her to get a penalty card, it is a bonus and she changes the right hand rule although she threatened to change the 11 card rule which would have meant Angela would have been out. Courtney pulls the bomb card and also answers Angela's question causing her to pull two penalty cards, she gets another bonus and this time does change the 11 card rule causing Angela to get out and crash out over it, her ‘sore loser’ tendencies causing the rest of the table to end up in hysterics watching her. Chanse pulls sky high and Courtney loses although the timing is pretty even between you and her so you offer to take the penalty card bringing your total up to 3. You pull thumb master and Courtney loses. She gets a penalty card but it’s lucky day she gives you the card bringing you up to 4 cards. Courtney is next and she pulls the name game with Chanse losing immediately, none of you really able to focus at this late stage of the game. Your two opponents are both at 9 points only needing one more to get out each. Chanse gets rock paper scissors and makes you and Courtney play. You lose every game and end up pulling your 5th penalty card.
You pull the copycat master and give it to Chanse, making him fold his hands on the table whenever you do, and Courtney pulls the echo master, making you say “ooowee” whenever she does. Chanse gets the point right card and you lose causing you to get your 6th penalty card, they are quickly starting to add up now but luckily you are still a few cards behind the other two.
You pull categories and choose ‘furniture’. Courtney is doing her best to distract you making you say ‘ooowee’ constantly although it is ultimately Chanse who loses as he repeats credenza which you had already said.
“Also breakfast nook is not furniture” Spencer states, discrediting one of Chanse’s previous answers. He argues back that it is as he has been looking for one for around three years and Courtney laughs saying maybe its not if he has been looking for three years.
“You literally eat breakfast in my nook everyday” you fire back at Spencer, this being the first time you've said anything against him the entire game. This causes a wave of laughter with the group, everyone's minds clearly going to a different place.
“I shouldn’t have helped you throughout the game Y/N/N! I can’t believe this is how you repay me for everything” he replies causing everyone to laugh more.
Chanse is now out and Courtney gets moose master, automatically allowing her to give you a rule as you two are the only remaining players. Angela begs to be let back in somehow and Courtney humours her making the rule that if you wish to speak to her you are required to speak through Angela.
“I am Courtney’s representation” Angela proclaims cheeky.
“You aren’t supposed to play anymore so that clashes with another rule” you state.
Angela, taking her role seriously, says “Y/N said im not supposed to play anymore so it clashes with another-Hey! No it's okay im not playing” she stops half way through her sentence to argue with you.
You pull the point right card which automatically causes Courtney to get out. A soft “oh” is heard by Courtney, followed by “my client said oh” from Angela and laughs around the room.
“Angela, can you tell Y/N it's been a pleasure playing and this may be my death”
Angela looks at you and before she is able to say anything you state “I got it”.
Angela gets close to you and breathes in your face “my client is about to die” which is true as she gets a bummer card and you win.
“Y/N ONLY WON BECAUSE SPENCER HELPED THEM THE WHOLE TIME” Chanse calls out, everyone laughing out no one actually caring in the end.
You sit quietly pouting, everyone quiets down and Chanse asks you what's wrong.
“I want triple dipper for lunch” you bring yours and Spencer's argument from earlier back into things.
“Fine Y/N we will get Chilli’s” Spencer sighs loudly, immediately laughing afterwards though as you begin to celebrate dancing around the table, excited about your win and the lunch that you are about to get.
★
“Do you think the comments are going to mention the fact that you practically made me win?” you ask Spencer as the two of you head towards his car. There is a hint of insecurity in your voice, scared about how the comments will react to what has occurred.
“Why would they? It was a completely fair game” he says simply.
“Spence come on, you clearly helped me win just a little”
“Okay yeah Y/N I helped you win, but you deserved it”
“If you say so, I still think the comments are going to rip me to shreds” you can imagine now what the comment will say.
“If anything they will be ripping me to shreds and I will take that any day to get to see my girl win” he winks at you, opening the passenger door as the two of you reach his car. “Now to chilli's to get you the god forsaken triple dipper”
