A cautionary tale

"And that's checkmate!" Yuki said smugly, using her pawn to knock over Yuri's Queen.

"But that - I just - You can't - WHAT?!" Yuri stammered in disbelief, having lost yet another game of chess to her smug rival and her friends. Snarling, Yuri slammed her fist on the table as the other girls laughed. "One more game!"

"Yuri, as much as I love whooping your sorry ass," Yuki said with a laugh as she pocketed the money that her rival wagered, "you're broke. I have your money, your car, your Beanie Babies, your watch, and your jewelery. You have absolutely nothing to bet with!"

"Oh no?" Yuri challenged, "How about this? Whoever wins this last gets everything the loser owns for the weekend! Everything from Friday until Sunday! Including their house! And the loser has to walk around the block until sunset!"

"I fail to see -"

"Butt. Ass. Naked." Yuri added smugly, "With only a cardboard box to protect their modesty."

The other girls let out a series of 'oohs' at the challenge as Yuki raised an eyebrow. "Look, why don't you just quit while you have nothing to lose?" She asked, "We both know that I'm gonna win again and you're going to make a complete ass out of yourself, so -"

And then Yuri did the one thing she knew would get Yuki to change her mind: She stood up, folded her arms like wings, and began to make clucking noises. "What's the matter, Yuki? Are you a big, fat chicken?!"

Yuki's eye began to twitch as Yuri continued her little chicken dance. After five minutes, the young woman groaned as she began to put her pieces back on the board. "You know, I was trying to be the bigger person here." She said, "But know? I think I'm gonna enjoy this."

"Well, you may as well start stripping now!" Yuri said triumphantly as she sat back down and put her pieces in place. "Because I'm going to own your sorry naked ass!"

"Have fun for the next ten hours!" Yuki called out smugly as her friends laughed hysterically at Yuri, the latter girl standing outside and wearing only a cardboard box. "The girls and I will be taking my stuff to my weekend home while you do, so feel free to walk the five miles back afterwards!"

And with that, Yuki slammed the door shut as Yuri began her embarrassing walk around the block.

"I'll get her next time..." Yuri muttered under her breath, her face red with both anger and humiliation.
