"I'll just have to tell them I can't spend time with them because I'm working on this for you," you say.

"Oh? You think they'll accept that?"

"They'll have to," you say. "I'm going to make sure this Effulgent Obsidian is the best it can be."

"In that case, I should make sure to get my belt, leotard and cloak to you so you can already fit the gems into the sockets."

"Oh that would be good. It'll save time for the morning. But don't feel you have to hang around with me all night. All I'll be doing is working on the stone."

"Well, that's alright, I can just be in the library."

"No, you shouldn't just shut yourself in there. You can have fun with my sisters and our guests. Trust me, Roselind and Rebecca will be able to have fun even with that unruly crowd we've invited here."

"I suppose," Raven giggles while you brush some Obsidian dust off the desk. "Maybe I'll spend some time with them after dessert then."

"Very good," you say. "But, do be careful if they suggest you should..."

"Try on dresses."

"Why...?" Raven asks with worry.

"Well, because chances are, they'll just use you as a doll and dress you up in whatever they feel."

"Don't you already do that?"

She smirks at you while you give a more "Oh, you" look at her.

"But it's different when it's the two of them," you say. "They'll more than likely try to put you in the most frilly, lacey, layered outfit you've ever seen."

"Please tell me they didn't do that to you," she starts to chuckle.

"No, but they've done that to Penelope, Bernadina, Opalina and Ginnie."

"Even little Ginnie?"

"Yes, but they waited until Ginnie was old enough to walk."

"Aww..." she chuckles. "Well, I'll make sure to suggest something other than that, then."

You dust yourself off for now and stand up from the work desk. You lead Raven back down into the library, then out of the library and into the hall. You two go to your rooms and dress for dinner, to meet up again at the stairs. The two of you walk arm-in-arm again as you go to the dining room.

"Evening, everyone," you say as you and Raven take your seats. "Raven and I do hope you all had fun even without us."

"We somehow managed," Ruby says. "But we're all still determined to make good on your offer for tomorrow morning."

"Well that's nice," Raven says sarcastically.

"It is," you say genuinely. "In which case, I suppose it'd be best if we didn't tire ourselves out with more games tonight and turn in a little earlier."

The suitors pout, but Raven smirks.

Dinner begins as the appetizer is served. It is a nice cheese-focused antipasto platter, with the highlights being American cheddar and Swiss. There are many toothpicks accompanying the platters so that you can stab the bite-sized morsels. The cheddar blends well with the mushrooms and olives, while the Swiss pairs nicely with the marbled pork.

The salad is a nice garden salad, and the fish dish is a variety of sushi.

"This is what we like to call our 'Sushi Smorgasbord'," Penelope smiles. "As you can see, it's quite a wide array, from salmon to tuna roe, and even veggie and egg rolls. There's also thinly sliced bonito that you can add to the various rolls for added flavor, as well as the dabs of wasabi on the side of the plate."

"Sugoi~! (Amazing~!)" Rumiko says. "Goodo job, Penelope-san!"

"Arigato, Rumiko-sama," Penelope smiles and bows.

"You like spicy things, don't you?" Raven asks.

"Yes," you say. "What's your point?"

"I was hoping you'd have my wasabi for me," she says. "I don't think I'll be able to handle it."

"Alright," you sigh with a smile.

She smiles back as she scoops her wasabi over to your plate.

"Y-You can have my wasabi," Rumiko says, turning red.

"Mine, too!" others say.

"No, I can't possibly have that much," you say, hands up.

Everyone eats their various sushi rolls, and you rather enjoy the combination of bonito and veggies. You dab some wasabi on the top of the salmo roe and take a bite. The spice on top of the cool rice and fish is really nice, and even clears the sinuses.

The main dish tonight is a type of poultry, garnished with brussel sprouts and with a side of mashed potatoes. The gravy is optional via the gravy boats, but you can tell by looking at the meat, it is caramelized.
---

"We present to you," Carter says, "Canard Apicius. It is of course based on Duck Apicius, for the Roman Gourmet, Marcus Gavius Apicius. The duck cutlets were caramelized in honey while seasoned with a mix of ground coriander, fennel, oregano, marjoram, allspice, cumin, garlic cloves and cilantro."

"Ah yes," your mother says. "That's what I was smelling. It's so strong, but not overwhelming. In fact, it's quite alluring."

You all take your first bites, and feel a rush of flavors on the warm, sweet and savory meat. The duck is juicy and evenly cooked, but also tender. Brussel sprouts were never your favorite, but having just a bit of them with the meat makes for a nice contrast, while the mashed potatoes make a nice compliment.

Dessert is of course last, and this night, it is cherry pie a la mode. Everyone is given a healthy 1/8th slice and a big scoop of vanilla. The ice cream melts from the warmth of the pie, and it all blends together for a wonderful combination.

"So," Raven starts somewhat awkwardly. "Rebecca, Roselind, if you two still want to spend a little time together before turning in, we could play cards or a board game."

"Oh yes, that would be fun," Roselind smiles.

"What would you like to play?" Rebecca asks.

A) Not Poker
B) Not Go Fish
C) Not Old Maid

"Not Old Maid," you say. "They conspire together to make sure neither of them gets left the Old Maid. They've done it to literally everyone in the family."

Raven laughs while your sisters play coy.

"In that case," Raven says, "how about we play a game where it ends once there's a winner?"

"Like what?" your sisters ask.

"How about Uno?" Raven asks.

"Uno?" they both reply. "What's that?"

"You haven't heard of it?"

"I believe Uno is an American original," you say. "The main goal is to be the first person with just one card in their hand."

"Yes, exactly," Raven says. "The deck has like over 100 cards, divided into four colors: red, blue, yellow and green. They're numbered, with there being 1 through 9 twice, but only four zeroes. Then there's Skip cards, Reverse cards, and Draw Two cards, as well as Wild cards, and Draw Four Wild cards. I think they got it to come out to 108, but I'd have to double check how it's all sorted out."

"That sounds fun!" Rebecca says.

"We should definitely play that!" Roselind says.

"It also allows up to seven players, but I've only ever played with a group of five, because of the other Titans," Raven says. "I bet it'll go really fast if it's just the three of us."

"Well, we could join in if you wanted," Roberta Rhodes offers, motioning to herself and Roberta Rivers.

"Sure," Raven says. "That's five, so maybe if Ruby or Rumiko wants to join in we could have a full game?"

"Yeah, why not?" Ruby says.

"Hai!" Rumiko says.

"Is there even an Uno deck around here?" you ask.

"We can always make one," Raven shrugs. "We could even convert some normal playing cards into Uno cards."

"Then I'll fetch two full decks, complete with joker cards," Carter says. "Gerik, you take Fredrick and Bernadina to clean up the den so the ladies can play."

"Wait, what happened to no games?" Renee pouts while the younger Wilmarths head out.

"And why isn't Rory joining you?" Roxanne asks.

"I have some work to finish up regarding my training with Raven in the morning," you say.

"Besides, a game with all of us would take much longer than just a game with seven," Raven says. "You all can play something on your own."

Renee and Roxanne grumble but reluctantly accept. Everyone finishes their desserts and head their separate ways, the adults going to the veranda while those not playing Uno with Raven get to use the parlor this time. You of course return to the library and then the private study above.

[cut to Raven]

Penelope leads the way down the hall and around a corner. Carter leads Renee, Roxanne and the others one way while Penelope leads Raven and the other Uno players the other. Penelope opens a door, and the seven walk into what is obviously the den.

There are lavish couches with embroidered floral patterns and finely carved wood legs that go with the coffee table. There's also an ornate fireplace with a wonderfully made candelabrum at the center, and a dazzling chandelier overhead that sparkles with the various clear crystals that make up the brances.

"Wow," Raven says. "This definitely puts the Tower's living room to shame."

Everyone sits down at the couches and chairs around the coffee table, and Penelope presents the decks to Raven.

"Thank you," Raven says.

She pulls out the cards and organizes them how she plans to transforms them.

"Obviously we can take the suits and make them the colors for Uno," she says as she focuses on Transmutation magic. "Hearts will stay red, Diamonds will become blue, Spades will become yellow and clubs will become green. We'll use the number cards as number cards, so that Two through Ten become One through Nine. The Jokers, as there's only four of them, will be the four Zero cards.

"Jacks will become the Skip cards, Queens will become Reverse Cards, and Kings will become Draw Two. The Aces can be divided between the Wild Cards and the Draw Four Wild Cards."

Raven uses her magic, transforming the cards as stated. The Aces are divided so that Hearts and Diamonds become Wild Cards while the Spades and Clubs become the powerful Draw Four Wild Cards.

"The way Uno is played is that everyone will be dealt seven cards," Raven continues as she shuffles. "The remaining cards are the stock, with the top card starting off as the Discard pile. When it is your turn, you have three options. You must play a card that matches the top card in the Discard pile by either color or type, or draw a new card. Of course, the exception to the rule are the regular Wild and Draw Four Wild cards. I'll go ahead and take the first turn after dealing to show you how that looks.

"The abilities are rather straightforward by their names. A Skip makes the next player skip their turn. A Reverse redirects order of play. We'll start clockwise, so that means the first Reverse sends order of play counter-clockwise. A Draw Two makes the next player draw two cards and end their turn. The Wild Card can be played to change the color. For example, if the top card is red, you can play your Wild Card to make it green.

"A Draw Four Wild is the strongest type of card. Not only do you change the color, but you make the next person draw four cards, making it that much harder for them to win. Because of this, they're limited to only when you have no other possibilities. For example, if you have a Wild and a Draw Four Wild, you must first play the Wild Card. When a Draw Four is played, the affected player can challenge it. The two involved privately check the user's hand, and if it turns out the Draw Four was used illegally, the user must draw the four cards instead. If the affected player is wrong, they must now draw a total six cards as penalty.

"If you have absolutely nothing to play, you obviously must draw from the deck. And when you do, you must either play that card and only that card, or keep the card and pass. And should we run out of cards in the deck, we keep the top card in the Discard pile, and shuffle the rest.

"Now, this rule is key to winning. Once you are down to one card, you must shout 'Uno!' as a sort of warning to everyone else. Should you forget, another player can call you out on it, and you have to draw two cards. And obviously if you lie and say 'Uno' before being down to one card, draw two cards."

"Well that's all very complex," Ruby says, "but how do you win Uno?"

"When a player plays all their cards, the round ends," Raven says, "and the points awarded are determined by what cards are left in everyone else's hands. Number cards are obviously their value, but action cards like Skip, Reverse and Draw Two are worth 20, and then the Wild and Draw Four cards are worth 50! The first player to rack up 500 points is the true winner."

"500?!" the others blurt.

"I know, we might want to go with a quicker way," Raven says.

A) First to 300 points
B) Best after 5 rounds

"Let's just see who has the most points after five rounds."

Raven finishes shuffling the deck and deals out seven cards for seven players, so that's 49 cards. The remaining 59 cards are the deck, but the top card starts the Discard pile. The starting card is a blue Skip.

Raven looks at her own hand, and she has two blue 8's, a green Reverse and 1, then a yellow Skip, Draw Two and 5. Obviously her only choices are to play her yellow Skip or a blue 8. She will be nice and go with the blue 8. Rebecca plays a blue 3, but then Roselind plays a blue Skip. Rumiko pouts as she has to wait, while Rivers plays a blue 7.

Ruby smirks as she plays a blue Draw Two onto Roberta Rhodes. Rhodes grumbles as she draws two cards before taking her turn. She plays her blue 1, so it's back to Raven. Raven has that blue 8 but she does have that green 1.

A) Play the blue 8
B) Play the green 1

Raven goes with the blue 8. This might be her last chance to play a blue card so she might as well get rid of this one.

Rebecca plays a blue 5, and Roselind plays a blue 3. Rumiko finally gets a turn, and plays a blue 9. Roberta Rivers plays a blue Reverse, so now Rumiko has to play again. She puts a blue 2 out, and now Roselind must go again. Roselind draws, so she doesn't have anymore blues to play. She can't play this card, either, so it's not blue.

Rebecca also has to draw, so she has no blue cards. And since Raven doesn't have any blue cards, she has to draw a card, too. She draws a red 6 so that can't be played. Now it's Rhodes' turn, and she plays another blue 2. Ruby plays a blue 6, but Rivers has to draw. She can't play that card, either, so she has no blues.

Rumiko draws, so she also has no blues. But then she plays the card she drew, a blue 9. Roselind plays a red 9, and then Rebecca plays a red Draw Two. Rebecca smirks while Raven takes the next two cards from the deck. Raven gets a red 5 and a blue 0. Raven has her own Draw Two in yellow, but she's got two red cards to use. She goes with the Draw Two, to give Rhodes more.

Rhodes plays a yellow 9, which forces Ruby to draw. That means Ruby has no yellows. Rivers plays a yellow 8, and Rumiko has to draw. She also has no yellows. Roselind plays a yellow 1 and Rebecca plays a yellow 9. Raven takes advantage and plays her yellow Skip, and Rhodes grumbles.

Ruby has nothing so she draws and keeps. Rivers draws, so she has no yellows, but then she plays a yellow Reverse card. Ruby has to draw again, and plays a yellow 4. Rhodes can go this time, and she plays a yellow 2. Raven plays the yellow 5. Roselind draws a card, so she must not have yellows. She draws, and immediately plays a yellow 2. Roselind plays a yellow 3, and Rumiko plays a red 3. Rivers plays a red 7, Rumiko plays a red 2, and Rhodes plays the other red 7.

It seems to be time for more reds as Raven plays her red 5. Rebecca plays her red 0, then Rose her red Skip. Rumiko grumbles while Rivers plays her red 1. Ruby plays a red 4, and Rhodes plays her regular Wild card.

"I change it to blue!" she says.

"Ha!" Raven says as she puts down her blue 0. "Thanks for that."

Rhodes grumbles, but Rebecca has to draw. Rebecca looks really guilty now.

"Sorry, Rose," she says as she plays her Draw Four card!

"Oh no...!" Roselind says as her hand grows again. "Oh."

She then plays a regular Wild card.

"Green!" she says.

Rumiko plays a green Draw Two, and Rivers does that. She then plays her own green Draw Two, so Ruby also draws. She plays a green Skip, so it's Raven's turn again.

A) Play the green Reverse
B) Play the green 1

Raven plays her green 1, and Rebecca has to draw. She must not have any greens at this point. Her new card isn't green, either, or she'd play it. Roselind plays a green 7, and Rumiko plays a green Skip. Rivers waits while Ruby goes next, playing a green 6. Rhodes plays a green 7, so now Raven has no choice but to play her green Reverse.

"Uno!" Raven says as she holds only one card.

Rhodes goes again, but she plays a blue Reverse! Raven grumbles as she has to draw. But then she gets a red Reverse and plays it!

"Uno again!" she says.

Rhodes grumbles as she has to draw, meaning she has no reds. But she doesn't seem too bothered, because now she plays a Draw Four!

"Blue!" she says.

Ruby draws four cards, then plays a blue 4. Rivers has to draw, meaning she has no blues. Rumiko plays a blue 6, and Roselind plays a red 6! Raven gets excited, but then Rebecca plays a red Skip. Raven sits there while Rhodes has to draw. She still has no reds as she doesn't play what she got.

Ruby plays a red 5, but Rivers plays a red Reverse. Ruby plays a Wild card.

"Green!" Ruby says.

It gives away that she has mostly, if not only, green cards. Rhodes plays a green 8, and Raven must draw. She gets a yellow Reverse, so she has to end her turn. Rebecca plays a red 8, but Roselind has to draw. Roselind has no reds so she has to wait. Rumiko and Rivers also have to draw. Ruby also has to draw, but then she plays a Draw Four!

"Green!" Ruby says again.

Rhodes draws, then plays a green 0. Raven draws and gets a red 8. Rebecca draws, and also has no green. Roselind plays a green 5, Rumiko plays a green 3. Rivers plays a green 4, and so does Ruby. Rhodes has to draw, she has anything but green it seems. Raven also has to draw, but she gets the other green Reverse. Rhodes has to draw again, still no green.

Ruby plays a green 2, Rivers a green 1, and then Rumiko a green 3.

"Uno!" Rumiko shouts.

Roselind plays a green 6, but Rebecca has to draw. Raven finally plays her red 6, and Rhodes plays a yellow 6. Ruby plays a yellow 4, Rivers plays a yellow 7.

"Yata!" Rumiko shouts as she plays her last card, a yellow 1.

"Aw...!" the others say.

"Okay, time to tally up those points," Raven says.

Everyone shows their remaining cards, which is quite a bit for some. Just on number cards, she gets 99 points. Then there's Raven's Reverse card and Rhodes' Skip card, for another 40 points, making for 139 in total.

"Okay, that's a pretty good start," Raven says. "On to round two."

The cards are all gathered up and shuffled. Raven deals again, and ends up with a Draw Four, a red Reverse, blue Skip, green 2, and three 4's. The only 4 she doesn't have is blue.

The top discard is revealed to be a green 8.

"Rumiko, since you won the first round," Raven says, "you go first this time."

"Hai~!" Rumiko says. "Skippu!"

Rivers waits while Ruby plays a green 4. Rhodes plays a green 9, Raven plans her green 2. Rebecca plays a blue 2, but Roselind plays a yellow 2. Rumiko plays a yellow 3, Rivers plays a green 3. Ruby draws, meaning she has no greens. Ruby doesn't play the card she got, so it's not green, either. But then she plays her Draw Four!

"Blue!" she says while Rhodes draws.

Rhodes checks what she has, and plays a blue 8. Raven plans her blue Skip, Roselind plays a blue 3. Rumiko plays a blue Draw Two, Rivers draws to then play her own blue Skip. Rhodes plays a blue 7, and while Raven has a Draw Four, she must first draw. She gets a red 8, so now she's free to play the Draw Four! Rebecca draws four more cards while Raven chooses the new color.

A) Red
B) Green
C) Yellow

"Green," Raven says.

Rebecca plays a green 5, Roselind plays a green 6, and Rumiko plays a green 7. Rivers draws a card, meaning she has no greens. But then she plays the new card, a green Skip. Ruby sits put while Rhodes plays a green 0. Raven plays her green 4, and Rebecca plays a green 3. Roselind plays a green 8, so Rumiko plays a yellow 8.

Rumiko's already down to two cards, and Raven starts to worry she'll win again at this rate. Rivers plays a yellow Skip now, so Ruby again sits while Rhodes plays a yellow 7. Raven plays her yellow 4, and Rebecca plays a yellow Draw Two. Roselind adds to her hand, then plays her red Draw Two. Rumiko draws two more cards, then plays a red 4. However, Rumiko doesn't seem worried that she's got three cards now. She must have some Wilds or even Draw Fours...

Rivers plays a red 3, and Ruby finally takes her turn again to play a red 7. Rhodes plays a red 1, which leaves Raven with her choice of any of her cards.

A) Play Red 4
B) Play Red 8
C) Play Red Reverse

Raven plays her red Reverse and Rhodes has to go again. She plays a red 3, and Ruby has to draw. She then plays a red Skip, Rivers sits put while Rumiko plays a Wild Card.

"Midori!" she says. "Er... Green."

Rose has to draw, she has no greens. She draws, but keeps. Rebecca plays a green 1, but Raven has to draw. She gets a red 2, so has to sit put. But Rhodes plays her own Wild card.

"Blue," Rhodes says.

Ruby plays a blue 0, but Rivers plays a blue Reverse. Ruby plays a blue 1, Rhodes plays a blue 9. Raven again has to draw a card, but it's a yellow 7. Rebecca plays a red 7, but Roselind has to draw. She ends up playing the red 8 she gets. Rumiko grins as she plays a Draw Four!

"Kiiro!" Rumiko says Rivers draws her four new cards. "Er, yellow!"

"Wait," Rebecca says.

"You didn't say Uno first!" Roselind says.

"Eh?" Rumiko says. "I-I wazu going to!"

"But you have to say it when you play your second-to-last card," Raven says. "You played the card and declared a color first."

"Eeeeh?" Rumiko pouts.

Rumiko frowns while she suffers the penalty of drawing two more cards. Rivers then plays a yellow 5, and Ruby a yellow 9. Rhodes has to draw, so she has no yellows. But then she plays a yellow 2, the card she just got. Raven needs to get rid of her one yellow, so she plays the yellow 7 over her red 2.

Rebecca plays a yellow 1, Roselind plays a yello Reverse. Rebecca plays a yellow Skip, which is fine by Raven because she doesn't have yellows. Rhodes draws, and doesn't play, so she still has no yellows.

"Uno!" Ruby says as she plays a yellow 4.

Rivers plays a yellow 5, but Rumiko grins again.

"Uno ga!" Rumiko shouts as she slaps another Draw Four down! "Aka! Er, reddo!"

Obviously that means Rumiko's last card is red. Roselind has to draw, but can't play. Rebecca plays a red 9, and Raven plays a red 4. Rhodes pays a red 1, Ruby draws but can't play. Rivers has to draw, too, and also has no reds.

"Kanpekina shri!" Rumiko shouts as she plays a red 0.

"Again?" the twins pout.

"Tally up the points," Raven says as she shows her remaining hand.

Rumiko gets 79 points just off the number cards, but there's a Skip, two Reverses and two Draw Twos. That's 179 points this round, so Rumiko now has 318 points!

Rumiko laughs as the cards are collected and shuffled as a new deck.

"Rumiko might win by 500 points even before we hit the five round limit," Ruby says.

"In that case, let's have Rumiko deal," Raven says. "And if she somehow wins again, we might as well just call it, best three out of five."

Rumiko smugly smirks as she takes the cards and deals them out. Raven ends up with a yellow 1, red Draw Two, green 0 and a blue 0, 4, Draw Two and Wild Card. Rumiko turns over the next card for the Discard pile, and it's a yellow Skip!

"Oh, there are special rules here," Raven says. "If the first card ends up a Skip, it affects the player after the dealer."

"That means Roberta Rivers has to skip her turn already," Ruby says. "So after Rumiko, I just go anyway?"

"Yep," Raven confirms.

"Not if I play this!" Rumiko says as she plays a green Skip!

Ruby grumbles, but Rivers doesn't seem bothered. Rhodes goes now, and she plays the other yellow Skip. Raven has to sit while Rebecca plays a yellow 3. Roselind plays a yellow 4. Rumiko plays a yellow Reverse, so Roselind plays her yellow 6.

Rebecca draws, so she has no yellows. But then she plays a Draw Four!

"Green!" she says while Raven draws a blue 3, blue 5, red Skip and green 1.

Raven only has a green 0 and a green 1. She also has a Wild card and a lot of blues.

A) Play green 0
B) Play green 1
C) Play the Wild card

Raven plays her green 1, and Rebecca plays a green 1. Roselind plays a green Skip, so Rumiko sits while Rivers draws because she has no greens. Her new card isn't green, either, but she plays her own Draw Four!

"Yellow," Rivers says while Ruby draws.

Ruby plays a yellow 0, and Rhodes plays a yellow 5. Raven has a yellow 1 but also a blue 5. She may not have another chance, so she gets rid of the yellow card. Rebecca has to draw, and cannot play her new card. She has no yellows, but apparently neither does Roselind, as she draws and keeps. Rumiko takes advantage and plays her yellow Reverse. Roselind has to again draw, and keep. Rebecca draws, but she plays her new Wild card.

"Blue!" she says.

"Aha!" Raven says as she plays her Draw Two.

Rhodes draws cards, but then plays her own Wild card.

"Red," Rhodes says.

Ruby plays a red 7 while Raven grumbles. Rivers plays a red 2, and Rumiko plays a red 1. Roselind plays a red 0, and Rebecca plays a red 3. Raven has her red Skip and Draw Two, but she has so many blues to get through, and she can start with her blue 3. At the same time, she has her Wild card, so she doesn't have to rush using up blues.

Raven uses her Draw Two, so Rhodes has to draw. She plays a red 9, Ruby plays a red 5. Rivers plays a blue 5, but Rumiko has a blue 2. Roselind plays a blue 9, and Rebecca plays a blue Skip. Raven sits while Rhodes draws. She plays a Draw Four! Ruby ends up with so many cards.

"Red!" Rhodes says.

Ruby plays her regular Wild card.

"I prefer blue," Ruby says.

Rivers has to draw, so she has no blues. Rumiko also has to draw, and she plays her new blue 6. Roselind plays a blue 3, Rebecca plays a blue 7. Raven plays her blue 0, and Rhodes has to draw. She plays her blue 1, and Ruby plays a blue Draw Two. Rivers draws, and plays her new blue Skip. Rumiko sits while Roselind draws and plays a blue 6. Rebecca plays a green 6, so Raven plays her green 0.

Rhodes plays a green 4, and Ruby plays a green 8. Rivers plays a yellow 8, but Rumiko grins again.

"Uno~!" she declares as she puts down her yellow 9.

"How is she doing this?" Roselind protests as she draws another card.

Roselind can't play, so it's not yellow or a 9. Rebecca also has to draw, but it's also not yellow or 9.

"Blue," Raven says as she plays her Wild card.

Rhodes draws and plays a blue 7. Ruby plays a blue Reverse, and Rhodes has to draw again. It's not blue, so it's Raven's turn again. She plays her blue 5, and Rebecca has to draw. Roselind plays a green 5, and Rumiko grumbles as she has to draw. She has no blues and no greens, so it's yellows and reds the group needs to avoid.

"Oh darn," Rivers says as she is forced to play a red 5.

Ruby plays a yellow 5, and Rhodes plays a yellow Draw Two. Raven ends up with a blue 9 and yellow 3, so she has to play the yellow 3. Rebecca plays a yellow Draw Two, Roselind draws and plays a yellow 7.

"Uno~!" Rumiko says as she plays another yellow 7.

Rivers plays a yellow 4 and Ruby plays a blue 4. Rhodes plays a red 4, but Raven brings it back to a blue 4. Rebecca again has to draw, but Roselind plays a blue Reverse to keep things away from Rumiko.

Rebecca has to again draw, she has no blues at all. Raven plays her blue 3. Rhodes draws, but still has no blues. Ruby plays a blue 8, Rivers has to draw. Rumiko grumbles as she again has to draw.

"Uno~~!" Rumiko says longer as she plays her yellow 8.

"At least it wasn't Rumiko this time," the twins say.

"Green," Rivers says, giving away that's what she has.

"Okay, well," Raven says. "If anybody else but Rumiko wins this next round, Ruby will win by default."

Rumiko sneers at Ruby while the cards are gathered. Raven shuffles and decides to use Ruby's way of dealing this time. She ends up with a red 7, a yellow 8 and 9, a blue 2 and 8, ad then a regular Wild Card and a Draw Four.

"Another Skip," Raven says as she puts the top card out for the Discard. "Rebecca has to skip her turn."
