Biana sighs and flops around on the couch, bored out of her mind. Fitz glances over to his sister from reading, "You okay there, Biana?" He asks as she changes her position on the couch. Biana lets out a high-pitched whine as her answer, Fitz grimaces at the sound his sister makes and just sighs.
"I'll take that as a no, what's wrong?" Fitz asks, putting down his book.
"I'm bored," Biana huffs as she sits on the couch upside-down. Fitz raises his eyebrow at Biana, unsure what he was supposed to do with this information. Biana furrows her brows for a moment, Fitz watches as his sister's face lights up with an idea. Biana runs upstairs. She then runs downstairs again and picks up her imparter. "I'm calling my friends over."
Everyone was gathered in Biana's room, Dex, Marella, Keefe, Fitz, and Sophie sat around a table, two of them looking apprehensive to the whole situation whilst the others were indifferent.
"Are you sure you don't want to play too?" Biana asks as she rummages through the pieces, searching for the car. Dex smiles from his end of the table and holds up the plastic tray that was considered the bank.
"I'm sure! I'm fine with being the banker." Dex replies as he hands out everyone the right amount of money. Keefe grins and holds up the car piece laughing loudly.
"I'm the car!" He gushes, Biana tenses and slowly looks at Keefe. Her left eye twitches as she forces a smile on her face. Keefe notices the look on Biana's face and sinks down in his seat.
"You'll be my first victim," Biana hisses. Keefe gulps and watches as the girl grabs the cat piece, placing it on go. Everyone places their pieces on the board as well, Keefe's the car, Sophie the dog, Fitz is the thimble, and Marella decided to be the top hat.
"Are you sure you want to play this, Biana?" Fitz asks.
"Of course! I promise it won't be like when we played Uno!" Biana replies.
"You look threatened, Keefe. Are you sure you're going to be chill?" Marella chimes in, Biana looks at the pyrokinetic, her smile never falling as she tilts his head slightly to add an innocent effect.
"That wasn't a threat, it was a promise."
~1 Hour Later~
"You can't put two hotels on Boardwalk!" Keefe yells. Biana glares at him with her arms crossed. The game was going smoothly, as soon as it started, Biana began to buy property, every single time she landed on one, she'd buy it. Now, the small girl held the biggest properties anyone could ever own while playing Monopoly, and that was Park Place and Boardwalk, how she got them so quickly, the others could never tell you.
"Watch me! Dex, give me my other hotel!" Biana demanded. Dex chews his lip and hands over the little red house. Biana places the hotel next to the one she already bought and sticks her tongue out at Roman.
"Biana, that's against the rules! Boardwalk can't be worth four grand with two hotels! Take one off," Fitz snaps, he's stayed in and out of jail to avoid paying Deceit considering the smaller side held three out of eight monopolies.
"No! It's my property!" Biana hisses. Sophie sighs and leans her head back.
"Oh my god, who cares! Just let him keep them so we can get this over with!" Sophie yells. Fitz and Keefe huff in annoyance and mutter a reluctant fine.
~3 Hours Later~
"NO! I DIDN'T GO BANKRUPT!" Biana cries, no one had landed on her four thousand dollar Boardwalk, but she kept landing on Marella's properties that had hotels on every single one. The pyrokinetic had three monopolies as well, all of which Biana had landed on. Every. Single. Time. Fitz hides his smile behind his hand and tries his hardest to not laugh at her.
"I hate to break it to you, but you did. Now come over here and cuddle with me until Fitz, Marella, and Keefe finish the game," Sophie says as she pats the spot next to her on Biana's bed, the smaller side clenches her jaw.
"Biana Vacker, if you even think about throwing anything on this table, and I mean anything. You will be ratted out," Dex warned. Biana screams and leaves her room, slamming the door behind her. Marella leans over the table and grabs all of Biana's properties and what money she had left over, adding it to her loot. Keefe and Fitz look at the girl with wide eyes.
"What? It's not like she's going to be returning any time soon," Marella says as she rolls the dice, at this point the others didn't care, they just wanted the game to be over.
~1 Hour Later~
"Well, that was a marvellous game. I ended up with every single property in the game and everyone's money, I enjoyed this time with you guys," says Marella as she straightens her winnings up in a neat and orderly pile.
"I feel like we got cheated," Fitz mutters as he slumps in his chair.
"Yeah! It was like you had more money than us!" Keefe accuses, Marella looks at the others with a blank expression. Dex couldn't help the giggles that escaped him, causing Fitz, Sophie, and Keefe to look at him.
"Did you give him money, Dex!?" Sophie asks.
"He asked for it! I-Isn't that what the banker does!?" The elves jump when the door slams open, Biana stands in the doorway glaring. Marella's eyes widen as she hides behind Dex.
"YOU CHEATED!?" Biana screams.
"O-ONLY BECAUSE YOU CHEATED FIRST!" Marella defends, Biana hisses at Marella causing the pyro to hide behind Dex more. Biana looks between Marella and Keefe.
"Oh, you both will get yours," she says.
"WHAT DID I DO!?" Keefe yells.
"YOU STOLE MY CAR ALONG WITH MY VICTORY! AS OF NOW YOU TWO ARE MY ENEMIES!" Marella and Keefe look at each other in fear, Biana smiles brightly at the others and claps her hands together.
"Well, this was fun! Now, if everyone could please leave I have plans to make." Everyone does a double-take at the small girl's sudden change of emotions, sometimes Biana truly did scare them with how she can just switch like that on will.
"Sophie, you gotta tell us what she plans on doing!" Keefe exclaims as they all huddle into the living room.
"Nope, no ma'am, you two have scorned her. I can only tell you that you both better be on your guard," Sophie explains as she takes a long sip from her soda, while Marella and Keefe stare at each other with wide eyes.
Whatever Biana was planning, it couldn't be too bad... right?
A week has passed since the whole Monopoly incident and Biana still hadn't made her move against Marella and Keefe. The two always stood taught during Foxfire, they even stood to attention whenever they were alone in their rooms. Like now, Keefe and Marella sat back to back on the couch at Marella's home, keeping their eyes peeled for the smaller side.
"I can't take this anymore! When is she going to strike!?" Marella exclaims as she throws her hands up, Keefe quickly turns around and slaps his hand over the pyrokinetic's mouth.
"Be quiet! If she hears you then you'll lead her straight to us! Maybe she forgot," Keefe hisses. Marella glares and pulls his hand away.
"You heard Sophie, Biana doesn't forget. Also, do not ever put your hand over my mouth again, or you'll die," Marella threatened.
"You sure?" Keefe smirked, putting her hand over Marella's mouth. Marella bit Keefe's hand. Without even a second thought, Keefe tackles Marella to the floor, shaking her by her shirt. The two, however, fail to notice Biana standing in the doorway of the living room. The smaller side smirks.
"Well, this is a pleasant surprise. I hadn't even known you were involved," Biana purrs, forcing the others to stop fighting. Keefe looks up, his hair messier than usual, still clinging onto Marella's shirt. The pyrokinetic stares at Biana with wide eyes, her normally neat hair going every which way due to Keefe shaking her. Biana cracks her knuckles and runs, jumping over the couch, she lands on the floor when Keefe and Marella run out of the living room.
"YOU COWARDS!" Biana screams as she scrambles up from the floor, she rushes up the stairs and kicks open Marella's door. The two scream as they cling onto each other. Biana hisses and lunges at the older sides, Marella manages to scramble, free-running out of the room.
"FAREWELL, KEEFE, I'LL REMEMBER YOU FONDLY!" Marella yells as she escapes, Keefe holds his hand out begging for Marella to save him but his pleas went unheard. Biana grins, baring her teeth at the fanciful side.
"Welcome to hell, my fair prince~" Biana hisses as she pulls out some markers, green hair dye, and a carton of eggs.
"W-What are you doing with that!? N-NO NOT THE HAIR!" Keefe cries as Biana cackles madly.
Fitz laughs hard when Keefe comes downstairs. His face was covered in glitter marker, Biana written in hot pink letters across his forehead. Green hair stood spiked up on his head and raw egg covered his shirt. Dex hides his smile behind his hand, "You, uh... alright there?" Dex asks as he tries to stop himself from laughing.
"Does it LOOK LIKE I'M ALRIGHT!? THAT- THAT LITTLE GREMLIN RUINED ME!" Keefe cries, scrambling away from the stairs when he hears Biana thumping down them, humming happily.
"On the contrary, Keefe, I think you look amazing," Biana says as she flashes the fanciful side a bright smile. Fitz wheezes from his place on the floor.
"Where's Marella, I want to see what you did to her, Bi!" Fitz asks as he chuckles softly. Keefe's blood runs cold when a dark look falls over Biana's face.
"She ran away, but that's okay! She'll get hers," Biana replies as she cackles evilly while walking back upstairs. The others sit silently for a moment before Keefe finally speaks up.
"Fitz, Biana really scares me."
"It gets worse, just wait until you really get to know her."
Marella pokes her head out of her room and squints as she scans the hallway, there was no sign of Biana. Marella sighs in relief and steps out of her room, "Hey there, Marella!" She jumps and spins around, Sophie smiles wide. Marella relaxes and places her hand over her heart.
"Oh, it's just you, Sophie. Is there anything you need?" Marella asks, Sophie smiles more and grabs Marella's arm, pushing the girl into a closet.
"There is! It's very rude to run away from punishment, Marella!" Her heart sinks when Biana walks in, clutching a pink tote bag, as Sophie backs out of the closet. Marella stumbles to the floor and backs away from the girl.
"N-Now, Biana, we can handle this like mature adults!" Marella exclaims. Biana grins and dumps out the contents of the bag.
"Mature? Barely know her~."
Marella screams.
Biana hums happily and pulls a grumpy Pikachu Marella behind her, pulling the older side with her down the stairs. Biana walks into the living room, "PIKACHU, USE THUNDERBOLT!" Biana yells.
"N-NO NO NO WAIT! BIAN-!" Marella's pleas go unheard as a jolt of electricity courses through her body as Biana starts up the shock collar. Fitz laughs, Dex is trying his hardest not to laugh, and Keefe is looking at the logical side with a victorious smile.
"Ooh! It wasn't very effective!" Biana giggles as she stops the collar. She leans over Marella and flashes the older side a wide smile.
"Will you cheat again?"
"N-NO, IT WOULD BE ILLOGICAL TO AFTER THIS!" Biana hums and looks up at Keefe, she smirks at the elf and moves her hand. Keefe gasps when a bucket of blue paint is telekinetically poured over him.
"Will you steal my car again?" Biana asks.
"NO, YOU HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE CHILD!" Keefe screeches as he wipes the paint off of his face. Biana smiles and pats Marella's head, taking the collar off as she does this, the girl nods to the others and walks back upstairs.
"Have a great night everyone!"
It's silent in the living room after the small girl leaves, the silence is broken by a loud slurping noise. The light sides look over and see Sophie lounging in the armchair, "I told ya so."
"Shut up, Sophie."
