(violet's outfit for this chapter)

Violet sat in the living room with the boys, watching them play Jenga. Jackson was trying to get into Max's head to get him to mess up and lose and it worked because the tower fell over. Max sat on the couch by Violet with a pout as Jackson stood, fist bumping the air.

"No." Max frowned and Violet pat his shoulder comfortingly, sympathetically smiling at him. 

"Yes!" Jackson cheers. "J-Money, Jenga Master, wins again!"

"I can't beat you at anything." Max said sadly.

"Oh, that's not true." Jackson sits by him and wraps an arm around his shoulders. "You always beat me at losing." 

"Hey!" Max perks up. "That's right." Then he realized what he said and frowns. "Hey! That's mean." He got up and walked away.

Stephanie got up from kneeling by Tommy's crib to walk over to Jackson. "That was kind mean." She sits by him. "You know, I was in the same boat as Max. I was the little sister and your mom beat me at everything."

"Oh, yeah." Jackson nods. "I know. She's always bragging about kicking your butt at Twister."

"She only won because she was twice my size." Stephanie defends herself. "You know, I couldn't quite get my left foot on green while my right hand was on red. And now every time I see a stoplight change, I can smell that cheap vinyl mat." Violet and Jackson glance at her with amusement. "Okay." She takes a deep breath. "I'm back. Look, just let Max win sometime."

Jackson raises his eyebrows. "You mean lose on purpose?" He shakes his head. "Uh, I'm not sure if I could do that if I tried." He stands and shrugs. "Honestly, I'm that good."

"Ugh, that's just what your mother used to say." Stephanie grimaced.

Violet was now hanging out with her boyfriend, Ryker, for awhile. They decided to hang out and  go bowling. The place they went to there were also some arcade games in the building so they got to play those as well. Ryker had won her a stuffed animal, of course, and she also won him a stuffed animal. She claimed that she needed to get him something now and he wasn't complaining but he found that sweet. Overall, the date was a success and they both had a great time together.

Later that day, Max challenged Jackson to another game. "Come on, Max, you can do this." Max said to himself. He points at the tower. "See the tower?" He points at himself. "Be the tower." Violet chuckles and smiles at him in amusement. Max pulls out a Jenga piece, pointing at the tower. "Tower, stay." He then places the piece on top. "Good tower!"

As Stephanie walked in with a basket of laundry, Jackson glances over at her and she gestures at him to pretend to lose. "Wow, Max. You really put me in a tough spot here." Jackson said, pretending to look confused.

"Jenga, Jackson. Jackson, Jenga." Max taunted him with a grin.

Jackson rolls his eyes, pushing him away. He pulls a piece out and the tower falls. "Oh, no!" He pretended to sound shocked.

Max stares at the broken tower in shock as the shock slowly turns to excitement. Jackson stands, smiling at him.  "I did it!" Max exclaims excitedly, jumping up and down. "I beat Jackson!"

"Alright! Way to go, Max." Stephanie cheered.

"And that's how you Jenga, punk." Max said to his brother. He then did a happy dance. "I'm the greatest of all time!" He then pretends to punch him before he walks over to kneel on the floor and take his shirt off, swinging it around in excitement as he laughed. He runs over to his brother and aunt. "Ask me where I'm going."

"Where are you going?" Stephanie asked.

"I'm going to Disneyland!" Max shouted as he ran towards the kitchen. 

"Last time I ever let him win." Jackson commented.

Then Max walks back into the room with a frown. "I heard that. You lost on purpose?"

"Uh, no, no, no, no, no, you beat me fair and square." Jackson reassured him not so convincingly in Violet's opinion.

"I should've known when you knocked over the tower on your first move." Max murmured.

"I'm sorry, Max." Stephanie apologizes. "It was my idea."

Max frowns at her. "You didn't think I could beat him?"

"Well, you know, you are on a seven-year losing streak." Stephanie shrugs. Max's shoulders drop in defeat as he looks down. Stephanie grimaces. "Oh, can I rephrase that?"

"No, I get it. I am a loser."

Violet frowned, watching with sadness and sympathy while Max walked towards the door that led to the kitchen.

"Max, where are you going?" Stephanie questioned.

"Not to Disneyland." Max sighs. "I'm going to Loserland." Stephanie then followed Max into the kitchen.

Violet was in the kitchen getting a drink for herself when she saw Stephanie walk in, looking determined as she held a Twister mat. "Uh, Steph, what's going on?" She raised her eyebrows. She didn't remember hearing anything about a game of Twister going on.

"You'll see." Stephanie replies, heading for the backyard. "Come on." 

Violet shrugs, bringing the drinks she held with her. Jackson helped her set down the soda cans on the picnic blanket and she sent him a thankful smile as he did and he smiled back a her. "DJ Fuller, I'm calling  you out." Stephanie challenged, laying the Twister mat on the ground.

"Trust me, little girl. You do not want a piece of this." DJ pointed at herself.

Stephanie crosses her arms, shaking her head. "Oh, no, we're doing this."

"I'll spin." Steve offers. "I used to love watching DJ out-Twister you." He smiles, taking the spinner from Stephanie. "Honestly, she's that good."

Violet sat on the bench next to Jackson and Max, the three of them watching with amusement. "Alright, ladies, right hand red." Steve speaks. Once the two sisters got their right hand on a red spot, he then calls out, "Left foot blue. Right foot green." Stephanie then puts her foot on a green place on DJ's side of the mat, earning a glare from DJ. DJ did the same to Stephanie, putting her foot on a green place on Stephanie's side. 

Violet's eyes widen when she heard a rip that sounded like DJ's pants ripping. "That's not good." She and Jackson quickly covered Max's eyes and Max shoved their hands away.

"Woah, okay! Uh, time out for a wardrobe malfunction." Steve uses DJ's flannel to tie it around her waist to cover her up. "Wow, seeing butt. Oh, my love." He sings as he ties the flannel around her waist. "Alright..." He steps away and continues the game. "Resume play."

"You wanna give up?" Stephanie inquired.

"You know how you hate stinky breath? Well, I had extra onion," DJ breathes heavily in her face, causing Stephanie to wince and look away. "And extra garlic on my onion garlic pizza." 

Stephanie gasps, losing her balance as she falls. "Yeah!" Jackson cheered for his mom. DJ stood and raised her arms in victory while cheering.

"Yes, I win again!" 

"Oh, I lose again!" Stephanie frowned as Violet and the boys walked over to them.

Max kneels by Stephanie, wrapping an arm around her. "Don't worry, fellow middle kid. Some day, we'll find Marky Mark's magic underwear."

Stephanie nods. "As long as he's still in them."

"Come on, let's clean up." DJ suggested. Violet then helped the others clean the backyard up, bringing everything inside just as Kimmy walked outside in a sparkly dress while holding a card with a red heart on it. Violet was curious about what Kimmy was doing but she didn't bother with asking and kept walking inside. 

Then they all head outside when Fernando suddenly called out to them. "Good news." Fernando said to Ramona with a bright smile. "Your mother and I got divorced."

Ramona stares at her parents with shock. "What?"

"But now we're getting married." Kimmy excitedly announced, showing the ring to her daughter.

Ramona chuckles and smiles widely. "You guys are both nuts. That's why you're perfect for each other. Congratulations!" She hugged them both. 

"Mrs. Pham, Boris, Doris! She said yes!" Fernando suddenly shouted.

"What the..." Violet's voice trailed off, watching with confusion as three people ran out of the house to join the hug. She didn't know who they were or why they were in the house, but a lot weirder things have happened at the Fuller/Tanner household so she shouldn't be surprised at this point. She shrugged and joined the hugged with the boys and Stephanie. 

Steve leans to DJ and whispers, "Say what you will about our date but it wasn't this weird."
