The day started off so well. Or at least that's what Eddie thought when he proposed to Buck and Mark that they play some board games with him, suggesting "Risk!" to begin with. The bull and the lion were just casual players of this kind of game, and it would the first time playing this particular one, but they accepted the rhino's invitation to have some fun together. It took just an hour before things started to heat up in a bad way, Buck getting up from his chair after Mark, who was seated right in front of him, pointed his troops at the bull.
"Dude, what the heck are you doing?" Buck asked.
"What do you mean? I'm attacking you, that's what I'm doing!" the feline replied normally and casually.
"Why do you need this little piece of land when there's practically all of the rest to attack?"
"Because, dude, I need to conquer as many countries as possible to win. It's the main goal of the game. Am I right, Eddie?" Mark asking, turning his head to the rhino and looking confused.
"Uh, yeah, that's right..." The rhino wasn't quite sure what was going on, but it seemed to him that the game would turn out to be very difficult to play with these two.
"No way! Do you see how many countries Eddie has? And instead you wanna attack me?" the bull asked the lion, getting quite upset about the whole situation.
"Quit whining and just accept that you're getting conquered!" Mark snapped, starting to lose his temper too.
Eddie found himself between two hot fires, asking himself what was he thinking, bringing Buck and Mark along with him to play such a tricky game, where the two could easily lost their tempers like this. Oh well, maybe they could try something else, like Monopoly... no, that would probably be worse.
