Beer wasn’t involved in the planning, it was planned for after in fact. Raven and her friends were perfectly sober when they arrived late in the night. One minute they were sitting wishing for finals to finish up so they could see joy again. The next they were in the soccer fields, hockey sticks in one hand, a large yellow ball on the ground.

“So, what are we doing?” Lavender asked.

“We’re gonna play land hockey.” Raven said.

“So anything goes? Who’s the ref?” Wiccan asked.

Thorn pointed to Qrow, who was sitting on top of a pile of snow.

“Me!” Qrow announced. In his hand was the old phone that Raven no longer needed so she let him have it to play games. Next to him was a box full of yellow softballs.

Raven and Thorn got on one side, Wiccan and Lavender stood on the other side. Qrow yelled start and the four began to fight over the ball, hitting it with the hockey sticks and watching it fly back and forth. Qrow just stood back and watched, laughing and cheering for everyone.

“You really think, I’ll let you beat me, baby? You got another thing coming!” Wiccan said to Thorn.

Thorn let out a funny noise before getting the ball away from his boyfriend and aiming it at the goal post, scoring a goal for him and Raven.

“Yes! That’s one point for us!” Raven cheered.

Lavender made a snowball and threw it at Raven’s head, laughing when she caused her glasses to fall off.

“Penalty!” Qrow yelled.

“What! Why?” Lavender asked as Raven dusted the snow off.

“You knocked Raven’s glasses off.”

“She doesn’t need them!” The girl pointed out.

“I still do, it’s a slow process. I don’t want people to suddenly notice I don’t need them anymore.” Raven stated. “I still can’t see clearly.”

Lavender huffed and threw a snowball at Qrow, he shouted another penalty for her team, causing a snowball being thrown at her, this time by Wiccan.

“Really! I’m your teammate!” She shouted at her friend.

“You got us two penalty! We’re trying to not pay for fucking dinner!” Wiccan pointed out.

Raven laughed as the two fought over the penalty while Thorn ran to get the ball.

“So, you wanna just shoot the ball into the goal while they fight?” She asked him.

Thorn nodded, smiling as the two walked over to shoot the ball into the goal three more times before moving on to throwing snowballs at Qrow, trying to see who can knock him over first. Qrow kept begging the two to stop, stating he was a powerful demonic prince and could kill them in one hit. Raven managed to knock him over, Thorn clapped when the demon fell onto the ground. He pointed to the two fighting, and tossed a snowball at them.

“Oh so you wanna go? Then we’ll go, and you’ll be on the fucking couch tonight!” Wiccan said as he started to throw some back.

Lavender joined in and let out her anger at her two friends. The four laughed as they hit one another in the face with snow. It was fun until lights turned on and campus police walked over to them.

“Shit, it’s the fuzz.” Thorn signed.

“Grab Qrow and run!” Wiccan said as he grabbed his and Lavender’s hockey sticks.

Raven nodded and quickly grabbed the demon while Thorn grabbed their sticks. The group ran and headed off to their car that was parked nearby and pulled out quickly. They didn’t want to be suspended for a semester.

“So, who won this game?” Lavender asked.

“Raven and Thorn. While you two were fighting they scored five more times before chucking snowballs at us.” Qrow answered.

“Yep, so on to the ramen shop!” Raven said!

Both Wiccan and Lavender sulked, they lost yet again to the two of them because they were fighting. They needed to learn to not do this during game nights.
