Hello my lovely snowflakes!
I know, I know, I shouldn't be started a new series when I already have two ongoing stories but once again I randomly got a story idea while doing something absolutely irrelevant to writing!
This time I was eating a Kit-Kat bar while listening to the radio in my mom's car.
I'm not sure how long this is going to end up, but I definitely know it won't be short.
And now without further ado, lets enter the snowstorm!
"Line up!"
The football team of Fairy Tail High was holding it's try-outs for this years newcomers. They were all standing in their work out clothing in the middle of the football field. All of the current members stood behind their coach, Macao Conbolt, as they snickered at how scared the new guys looked.
"Ah, I feel like it was only yesterday when we were in their shoes." said the quarterback. "If we're lucky, we'll get some good guys this year. Maybe then we can actually make it to championship this year."
"Listen, I know some of you kids think you're pretty hot stuff on a field," Macao said. "But only the best of the best can get on my Junior Varsity team! So lets-" he was cut off by one of the newcomers raising their hands. "Um...what?" The boy was tall with a pretty good build and pink spiky hair. He looked like he would make a great addition to the team, but Macao never made biased choices.
"What if you want to be on Varsity?" he asked. Everyone turned and stared at the boy in shock. "V-Varsity?!" they all said. Macao was pretty surprised at that remark. Most of the time kids were happy to be put on any team since they really just wanted to see the cheerleaders practice. "So you want to be Varsity huh Pinky? You have to look, no be someone who was created by the football gods. Do you think you got what it takes?" said Macao. "Well I'm not sure about being created by football gods, but I do think I have what it takes." the boy said and he pumped his fists up to the air.
Macao chuckled slightly. He liked this kids spirit that's for sure. "What's your name kid?" The young boy looked him right in the eyes. "Natsu Dragneel." Macao smiled. "You know what, I like you. I'll give you a chance, but you better be something extraordinary."
Once the try outs really started Macao made sure to watch everyone, but still pay close attention to Natsu, and he was absolutely speechless. He had never seen anyone who could throw and kick a football that far. He couldn't believe how someone like him could tackle with such force. And of course, his speed was something else. Sure the other kids were good, but this guy was amazing.
"It's like he's on fire when he's on the field...like...like...a Salamander!" Macao shouted. "Uh...are you alright coach?" said the quarterback. Macao brushed him off and blew his whistle to indicate that try-outs were over. "Listen up! I'd say that most of you did pretty well and can expect to be put on JV (Junior Varsity)." Some of the newcomers whooped and cheered and gave each other high-fives. "But there is only one who I can see on my Varsity. Dragneel, you've proven yourself to be worthy. Think you're up for the challenge?" Everyone stared at Natsu, waiting for his answer.
"Why would I refuse?" Natsu said cheerfully. The members who were already on the Varsity team went over to greet him and welcome him to the team. 'Sorry guys, I'd love to stay and chat but soccer try-outs are also today and I need to get to the other field in two minutes!" Natsu started running away from them as they all shouted out for him to come back. "Keep me in touch coach!" he shouted before disappearing.
. . .
"Hello ladies!" A tall blonde-haired girl walked along the far end of the football field with a white-haired girl following behind. "My name is Jenny Realight, and I'm the head cheerleader." The white-haired girl standing next to her cleared her throat and shot a glare with a sweet smile. Jenny reeled back in fear and the other girl turned to smile gently at the other girls on the field.
"What she meant to say was that both me and her are the Co-Head cheerleaders. I'm Mirajane Strauss, but you can call me Mira!" The other girls cheered for her as she just continued smiling while Jenny was trying to regain her composure. "Anyway, welcome to cheer try-outs!" shouted Jenny as the girls started cheering again. "All of you can leave because we're full, thank you, goodbye!" The cheers stopped and the girls just gaped in horror as their dreams of ever becoming cheerleaders were crushed.
"What she meant to say," Mira cut in, glaring at Jenny again. "Is that since we gained so many members last year, most of our cheers only have enough room for so many people."
"Then why not make new cheers?" Everyone turned to see who spoke. It was a young blonde girl with chocolate-brown eyes. "New cheers? Do you know how hard it is to come up with a whole new set of cheers in such a short amount of time?" said Jenny. "Well if you really tried and worked together with others, I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard." she said. "Okay. what's your name little Miss Know-It-All?" Jenny said. "My name's Lucy. Lucy Heartfilia."
"Alright then Lucy. If you really think it's so easy then why don't you and the rest of those girls come up with a whole new set of cheers that can use at least...25 people by next practice!" The girls stared at Jenny before glancing each other and smiling and cheering. "What the-" "Wow Jenny, that's such a great idea!" said Mira. "But I wasn't serious! There's no way that it's possible to come up with a whole new set of cheers by next practice! It's next Friday!" "Nonsense! It'll be easy if we all just meet at before and after school!" shouted Lucy.
"Great! Have five new sets of cheers by next Friday and if me and Jenny think they're good, we'll let all of you on the squad." said Mira happily. She and a Jenny started to walk away from the field with the other 7 members of the squad.
"Lucyyyyy!" Lucy turned around to see all of the other girls on their knees with tears streaming down their eyes like a river. "How can we make five whole sets of cheers in only a week! No one here even knows how!" said one of the girls. "Don't worry guys!" The girls stopped crying and confusion displayed across faces. "I'll make all of the cheers, you just have to learn them!" she shouted.
"Really? You'd do that for us Lucy!" they all said. "Of course! It as my fault anyway." "Oh thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!" "We should start practicing right now while we have the chance!" said one of the girls. "Actually..." said Lucy. "I have to get to softball try-outs right now, but we can start tomorrow!" "Ehhh?!" the girls said. Lucy began to run towards the softball field as the girls called out for her to come back. "Just meet me here tomorrow before school, okay?" Lucy shouted as she continued running.
As Lucy ran, she saw a pink blur flash before her eyes. Natsu saw a yellow blur. Neither Natsu or Lucy knew what they saw and neither decided to give the strange blurs any thought. Little did they know that those blurs would become the thing they would be pushed into very soon.
And we've made it to the ice castle!
I have one thing to say right now. I know nothing about sports at all. I've never been to a sports game, I've never played a sport, I'm not even into sports.
Just remember that so you can't give me a hard time if I do something wrong.
Weeeeell...do ya like it? I sure hope you do because I'm really trying here...
If you're waiting for the new chapter of A Lost Flame, don't worry I'm working on it. I'll have it up by next week.
*Stand. Bow. Aye Sir!*
And I'll see ya next storm!
