A Game of Change

The winner

added by Wes A year ago O

"TEN!" Tracy let out a wild whoop, "SIX AND A FOUR THAT'S TEN! EMILY YOU DID IT!" Tracy stood up cheering, waving all four of her arms around, Samantha did too, though her slime legs weren't exactly built for jumping and dancing.

Sandra beamed, pumping her arms, though she wasn't confident in her ability to stand without breaking something.

Emily was practically radiant as she reached out and moved her piece nine spaces forward, one less than she rolled, because the game board stopped. She had made it the end. The square was was a pretty design with a star on it, everyone now recognized it as a wishing star. Emily slammed her piece on the space with dramatic flare and looked at everyone with a smile, everyone looked back eagerly. When nothing happened, there were some frowns around the room. Helpfully, Sandra suggested, "The game only does stuff when you draw a card."

Emily nodded and drew a card, she squinted before handing it to Sandra. "And thus ends our adventure / You are dismissed / You've made it to the center / Now you get your wish." Sandra let out a whoop like Tracy, "Finally. C'mon Emily, let's get back to normal."

Emily smiled with a nod. She began to speak but, she hesitated. One wish, to do anything? The game didn't specify the limits of the wish, she could have anything she wanted. Sure, she'd have to grow up again, but who wouldn't want to grow up a gazillionaire? And if she could have anything she wanted, why couldn't she just force people to accept her friends the way they are now? They'd learn to be happy with it.

But then again, she'd made a promise. To follow the plan. She thought of Tracy, there was no way Rick would stay with her like this. She thought of Samantha, what downsides could come with being made of slime? She'd be miserable. And of course Sandra, her best friend, she doubted Sandra could even fit out the door, not to mention she would probably burn in the sunlight. She couldn't really let down her friends like that, could she?

"Emily?" Samantha ventured, "Make the wish." She insisted.

Emily frowned, this was a hard choice for a four-year-old.
