Soos Ramirez was playing a hockey video game and had just scored the winning goal! "Yes!" He exclaimed, pumping his fists into the air. "I won! I won!"
"Great job, Soos!" Dipper Pines congratulated. "Man, you're really good at these video games!"
"I know, dude!" Suddenly, an idea came to Soos' head. If he was good at playing hockey in video game form, maybe he could also be amazing at playing it in real life! "Say, dude, if I'm good at a hockey video game, you think I could be able to play it in real life?"
Dipper cringed at that. Sure, his friend was good at playing video games, but in real life, he wasn't that good at not only hockey, but every sport! He decided to break it to him gently. "Look, Soos, you may be good at video games, but in reality, you can't play hockey. Heck, I don't even know if you can do ANY sport!"
"Dipper's right, Soos," Stan Pines, Dipper's great uncle, agreed, who had overheard the conversation and came into the room. "Besides from those games and fixing things, you're not good at anything else!"
"Oh yeah?" Soos frowned. "Well, Dipper and Mr. Pines! I'll show you! I'm going to become a fantastic hockey player! Just wait and see!" He rushed out the door.
Once he was gone, Stan turned to Dipper and said, "I bet he's gonna stink at it. 100%."
"You know, for once, I totally agree with you there, Grunkle Stan," Dipper nodded.
Soos came back with his hockey uniform on after he celebrated with his teammates, carrying a huge, shiny, trophy in his big hands. In one day, he had joined a hockey team and had played really well! He blocked every shot from the opposing team and kept them from winning. The team was so proud of him, they had allowed him to hold on to their trophy, for he had saved the day. Soos looked at his trophy happily. He couldn't wait to prove Stan and Dipper wrong.
When he entered the shack, he exclaimed, "Hey guys! Look what I've got!" He held up his shiny hockey trophy.
When Dipper and Stan saw the trophy, they gasped in shock.
"Soos, where the heck did you get that?" Stan asked.
"From my hockey team!" Soos said. "I won a trophy for my team!"
But...But… But that's crazy!" Dipper sputtered. "You don't play hockey, Soos!"
"Well, I do," Soos stated. "You see, I have a surprisingly good talent for hockey, too. Been really good at it since I was a boy. You guys have misjudged me."
Dipper and Stan nodded their heads. Sure Soos couldn't do a lot of things, but they were completely wrong about him here. Soos was in fact a fantastic hockey player, and who knows? Maybe he has other secret talents that he didn't mention yet. There were probably a lot more things to him then they thought there were.
