Maybe it was due to all the excitement from the previous days, but everyone seemed fine just having a chill day relaxing in the resort suite. We already spent half the day playing Twister and baking brownies. Well, maybe I should say almost baking brownies. After two attempts with two packages of brownie mix the girls told us they couldn't salvage it because there was nothing to salvage. The mix wasn't turning out the consistency it should have apparently. The first batch had too much flour and was behaving like dried out clay, while the second batch felt like whisked eggs. Eventually, after lunch, Gray kicked back on the couch and was joined by Juvia and GaLe, which quickly turned into Juvia kicking all their asses continuously in Mario Kart. Cana, Mira, and Laxus seemed to be wrapped up in a very intense card game, which I sincerely hope does not involve gambling.

"Hey Natsu, Lucy. Join us!" Mira calls out to us, beckoning us over to the dining table.

"What game are you playing?" Lucy asks. Cana lifts up the cover of the card box, and I read 'Cards Against Humanity,' a familiar feeling of dread appearing in my lower gut. Luce and I slowly sit down at the table, and Cana deals us in.

"We've played about five rounds so far. You guys know how to play?" We both nod, and Cana looks satisfied. "I have two points, Laxus has three, and Mira has one. Laxus is judging."

The black card on the table reads: What would grandma find disturbing, yet oddly charming?

I check my ten white cards, and resist the urge to look over at Lucy's hand. Raising my eyebrow at more than half of my cards I decide to put my game face on. What would grandma find disturbing, yet oddly charming? Shrugging, I put down a card I hope will make Laxus laugh.

Collecting the cards together like a poker player taking the pot, he shuffles them and reads them out loud. "What would grandma find disturbing, yet oddly charming?

"The gays.
"Republicans.
"Natural male enhancement.
"German dungeon porn."

Laxus has appropriate and unique reactions to each card, but he hesitates over just one of them. "I think German dungeon porn wins this one," he finishes with a chuckle.

"Yes!" I exclaim, my excitement building with the thrill of my win.

"Oh come on," Cana reasons, "not natural male enhancement?" Laxus just smiles and hands me the black card.

"Natsu judges next!" Mira says, drawing another white card. I pick a black card that reads: What will always get you laid? My face flushes, but hopefully the rest are too busy picking white cards to notice.

Gathering the cards in my hand I bask in the power I hold. Slowly, I read them out. "What will always get you laid?

"Sexual peeing.
"Getting naked and watching Nickelodeon.
"Getting really high.
"Making a pouty face."

I contemplate the cards in front of me laughing uncontrollably at all of them. "I think making a pouty face wins!" I laugh. "Although sexual peeing was a close second." My eyebrows raise as Lucy sheepishly reaches for the black card and counts it as her first win.

"Getting really high always got me laid," Laxus mutters.

"Why not sexual peeing?" Mira asks with a pout.

"Ahh come on, pout to your boyfriend at least," I reply, making everyone laugh.

After a couple more rounds the points stack up as so: Laxus- 4, Mira- 2, Cana- 3, Lucy- 2, Me- 2. I can feel the energy around us making us act sillier than usual.

"My turn to judge!" Cana says in a sing-song way. "Blank: kid-tested, mother-approved. Dang it, I have a really good white card for this one. Let's see those white cards!
