This spacing is weird.
Well, HAPPY CHAPTERING! Wait. What. Just...
"Okay, the teams will be announced shortly! Rose and I have determined what team you'll be on based upon your physical characteristics and athletic ability!" Kanaya shouted across the field so that everyone could hear.
"If you don't like your team, then too bad!" Rose shouted at them, louder.
"Team one: Tavros, Dave, Sollux, Terezi, Karkat, Aradia, Feferi, and Rose! Grab a flag, team one is red. The rest of us will be blue." Kanaya trilled.
The teams dispersed, starting out with a few warm-up passes between some of them.
"Fuck, Sollux. How do you even play this game?" Karkat hissed into Sollux's ear.
"You don't know how to play football?" Sollux gasped; even he knew how to play football.
"You shut your fucking mouth." Karkat told him, "Now just tell me the rules!"
"Catch the ball. Throw it to thomeone who ith on your team. If the other team hath it, grab their flag. Get it?" Sollux smiled evily at Karkat, who was glaring at him.
"Fuck off Captor; I don't need your help!" Karkat snarled at him.
"Then why did you athk for it? Theemed like you needed it a thecond ago." Sollux taunted.
"Fuck you." Karkat flashed his middle finger in Sollux's face, wiggling it around, "Fuck. You."
Sollux laughed, thinking that Karkat wasn't so tough on the inside.
"Yo motherfucker, pass me the miracle ball!" Gamzee shouted, his light brown afro bouncing around.
"Okay! One second Gamzee!" Nepeta squeaked, running around Feferi as she made a half-hearted attempt to steal her flag.
"Pass it over here Nepeta!" Equius yelled, knocking over Karkat as he tried to get open.
"Fuck you Zahhak!" Karkat cursed, stumbling to the ground, his face sliding along the grass, "You don't fucking tackle in flag football!"
"Yo motherfuckin best friend, need a hand?" Gamzee lumbered over to where Karkat was pouting on the ground.
"Sure." Karkat sneered, taking the offer of his friend's hand.
"Score!" Jade cheered, her black hair dancing around as she jumped up and down at the end-zone with the football.
"How the fuck did Harley get the ball?" Karat gasped, almost yanking Gamzee to the ground in his attempt to get up.
"I passed it to her!" Nepeta shrugged, running over to Jade's side and rubbing her strawberry-blonde head against hers, purring softly.
"Why didn't anyone stop her?" Karat yelled, looking pointedly at Equius.
"I tried to, but I was too busy with the ruckus caused by someone." Equius almost screamed, his broken sunglasses reflecting into KK's eyes.
"Well sorry I wasn't concerning about the other team, fuckass!" Karkat flipped him off, walking over to his side of the field.
"Ok guys! Get ready we-Aaarh!" John screamed, jumping as Equius kicked the ball.
"Oh fudgesicles!" Equius shouted as the ball popped from the force of the kick.
"Bro, that is so not cool." Dave droned.
"Equius! You popped my football!" Kanaya glared at him, unclipping her flag.
"Wait guys! Don't get mad, I have extra footballs!" Nepeta squeaked, running to get her bag.
"Of course you have extras Nepeta..." Vriska rolled her eyes, stalking over to Kanaya's side and whispering something in her ear.
"Thanks Nepeta…" Equius scratched the back of his head, smiling nervously.
"No problem Equius! We've played together lots of times, so I figure this would happen." Nepeta came back with a new ball in her hands, setting it up for John to kick off instead.
"Here it comes!" John yelled, kicking the ball with full force.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck! Karkat yelled in his mind, how am I supposed to catch this ball? What the fuck is going on here! He took a step back, cringing away as the ball landed right in front of him.
"You know you could have caught that, right?" Sollux smiled at Karkat, his glasses flashing in the sun.
"You know that's the first sentence you've said that doesn't have a lisp, right?" Karkat fake-smiled right back before it quickly melted into a grimace.
"Thut up KK!" Sollux pouted, folding his arms over his chest.
"Just grab the stupid ball!" Vriska snapped at them from across the field.
Karkat grabbed the ball, everyone surrounding him in their positions.
"Down, set… Hike!" He yelled, passing the ball quickly to Tavros.
"Uh…" Tavros mumbled, looking down at the ball in his hands, then back up at the smiling clown face coming towards him.
"Come on Tavbro, time to score!" Gamzee grabbed Tavros, setting the smaller boy on his shoulders.
"Uh, Gamzee, is this allowed?" Tavros squeaked, gripping Gamzee's hair and the football with each hand.
"It's not not allowed!" He laughed, swerving between Equius as he grabbed his flag.
"Hey! Clown boy! I got your flag, now get back here!" Equius shouted.
"Nope, you gotta get Tavbro's flag!" Gamzee kept running, laughing as all of his shorter friends tried to grab the flag.
"Uh… Sc-score?" Tavros stuttered, glancing nervously around as the other team evil-eyed him.
"Yeah motherfuckers, get used to it!" Gamzee lumbered over to Equius, smiling as he took his flag back.
"Wwait. Howw is that fair? That blundering clowwn carried that small browwn-haired boy to the end zone." Eridan glared at Gamzee, puffing up his purple-streaked hair.
"Yeah Gamzee, I don't think that counts…" Feferi trailed off, trying to calm her aggravated step-brother down.
"See! Even Fef agrees wwith me!" Eridan smiled at her, softly resting his hand on her shoulder.
"No fucking way! You're all a bunch of crybabies! Tavros made it over the line, and that's final! We got a point!" Karkat shook Terezi's shoulders, "Right?"
"Actually KK, it ith thix pointh…" Sollux whispered in his ear.
"We got six points!" He corrected, unfazed by his fumble.
"You did not! You got no points because that is not allowwed!" Eridan shrieked, his accent making it hard to take him seriously.
"You know what!" Karkat stomped over to where Eridan was, pulling his flag off.
There was a resonating gasp throughout the group of friends.
"Oh my cod." Eridan looked up, blushing furiously.
"Fith boxerth? Really Eridan?"
