Chapter #4Hand 1 A by: Unknown “Since I’m dealing first, I’ll bet my sneakers.” Chris said as a hologram of his black shoes appeared in the air next to him. Jess looked in awe with wide eyes as she observed with different angles to see if it was real. Ben chuckled at his girlfriend’s antics.
“Yes, it’s real.” He said waving his hand through it, “Anyways, I bet my YouTube name and hair.” A hologram of a paper written on it ‘CancerTurtle’ and a mannequin head with his long blonde hair appeared.
Jess looked a look at the point list, “Umm, 2 points at least right? Then I bet my volleyball skills.” A volleyball revealed itself next to her. Reading the list, Jess decided on a skill to make sure she didn’t bet something too big that she didn’t understand about. She does play regularly which keeps her fit, but she doesnt think she’ll need it anytime soon.
Sam frowned at his cards, “I got nothing, I fold.”
Snow on the other hand seemed satisfied, “I bet my age and pants.”
Finally, Alice betted with an impressive poker face, “I bet my hair and lips.”
“Let’s see what everyone has!” Chris said excitedly showing his hand.” I’m going to be honest here, I wasn’t expecting to win.” He chuckled showing his hand composed of nothing. Ben smiled at his friend. This was just like him to just want to play the game, considering he was the one who bought it. Chris brought it to their first Vidcon together after he found it on the ground during a walk. His adventurous and easygoing attitude made it where he barely had any complaints to any change he received.
“Second to that, I ain’t winning this.” Ben agreed exposing his one pair of 4’s.
Snow cheerfully showed off her trio of jacks, “So you’re saying I have a chance?”
“Afraid not Rach, not with these babies.” Alice slyly revealed her straight. “I think I won this one.”
“Have I been forgotten already, because if I recall, a flush beats all of yours.” Jess smirked showing her party of clubs.
Alice looked with disbelief before smiling, “Not bad rookie, I get you next time.” Where there was Chris who didn’t try too much in the game, Alice was the complete opposite. She always was looking to win, especially one with magical properties. Suddenly, all the holograms floated to Jess.
Flustered, Jess asked, “So how do I do this?”
“Simple. It’s like click and drag on a computer, except just with your hands.” Sam explained. Jess nodded in understanding before hesitantly picking her boyfriend’s YouTube name. She put it next to herself to see nothing change.
“Why did nothing happen?” She questioned.
“Well, it’s a name. Nothing physical can be seen.” Snow said.
“Oh...” Jess said embarrassed reaching for the name. When she tried to move it, she found it only stayed right in its place. “Why can’t I move it?”
Chris eyes widened in realization before explaing, “Oh yeah, forgot to mention. Once you assign a bet, it can’t be changed.
“There you go forgetting again.” Snow deadpanned. “So remember, we’re stuck with whatever changes happen unless it’s switched with another until we revert the changes.”
Sam chuckled as he spoke, “And Ben here will be called Squishy by everyone here at the event. They all shared a chuckle at the silly change.
Thinking of a joke, Alice turned to Jess, “Now, if you want to see a real change, why don’t you swap my hair with Ben’s.”
Ben eyes widened before trying to stop Jess, “NO WAIT DON’T-“ but it was already too late as he felt hair tickling his neck. Ben now had a cute hair style that framed his face.
“I’m definitely styling this.” Alice said taking her new dirty hair in her hands. “Especially after you cut my nails when you had my hands last time.”
Ben looked down sad, “I said I was sorry...”
Snow waved it off, “It’s fine Jess, none of us hold anything to anyone, except Alice. Just have fun with the game.” Jess smiled and nodded before taking action with the rest of the pot. She gave Chris’ sneakers to Snow while giving her age and pants to Sam. She gave Alice’s lips back and kept her volleyball skills.
“Not so bad I’m 20 again, at least you can legally drink now Snow. Though these jeans are really tight.” Sam thought aloud as he fidgeted with his new pants.
“Hey, you guys think my feet look cute in these?” Chris joked showing off his new flats. They all laughed as Ben dealt the cards next.
“Let’s keep this game interesting...” he said looking at his new hand.  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
