Poker

“Too” said John Freeman loudly as his frend Peter Johnson handed him to cards.

“All right then,” Percy said as he placed John Freeman’s two discarded cards into the discard pile. He, Ruby, and John Freeman sat in a circle in their room, each with five cards in hand and the deck just in front of his lap.

“Ruby how many do you want?”

“Three,” she responded as she placed three of her five cards on the ground in front of him. Percy pulled the same number of cards off the top of the deck before handing them to her. She looked at them for a second, before practically leaping up and squealing with joy.

Percy merely laughed at this. “Ruby, never go to Vegas.” He looked over his two teammates. “All right that should be it, show what you have.” With that he set his five cards face up. “Two pair.”

“Four kings!” Ruby shouted as she slammed her cards onto the ground. However her celebration was cut short.

“Fiv Ases!” shouted John Freeman at top of lung as eh showed five ases and then took winnings because he won.

“What… but… how…” Ruby stammered before collapsing to the ground just in front of Percy.

“Uh… Ruby?” Percy asked hesitantly as he jostled his shoulder, an action that was only met with a whimper. “I think you’re taking this a bit too seriously.”
