Sins of Blairwood-9

~Team Up~

"Alright class gather around." The Gym teacher said, gathering his class together. "Today we'll be playing some dodgeball. I'll split you up into two teams. One team will be led by Amy over here." He exclaimed pointing to where Amy was, dribbling a ball. "The other will be led by Erma, over here." He said, pointing to where Erma was making the ball float with ghostly fire. "Now the first four I call out will go to Amy's Team. Senshi…" Woosh. The coach had to look over to Erma and sighed when he saw that the rest of the class, minus Senshi who went over to Amy, were all standing behind Erma. "Alright you little primitives listen up. We need to balance out these teams, otherwise it's no game." The coach said.

"But coach, Erma doesn't exactly play by regular rules." Terry said.

"I know. That's why you're playing dodgeball, it amuses me." The coach said.

'Does he get thrills from watching children suffer?' Senshi questioned.

"Now I don't care if it has to be just one of you. There's can't just be two people on Amy's team." The coach said. "Unless all of you want an 'F' for today."

"Welp go ahead buddy, for the team." One of the other students said.

"Her, wait a minute, why do I have to go?" Terry questioned. "Alright since you're all about the team, why don't you go?"

"Don't look at me, I'm a survivor."

As they were trying to decide who would join Amy and Senshi's team, Erma walked up to the coach and asked him through her hand motions if she could join Senshi and Amy's team, to which the coach approved and motioned for her to go before he smiled amusingly at seeing his students still arguing amongst themselves.

"Alright, let's play." The coach smiled.

"Wait, nobody stepped up." Terry said, before the entire class looked terrified when they saw Erma had gone to Senshi and Amy's side of the gym.

"This is gonna be good." The coach laughed. "Ready. Go."

The large group of students went running for the balls, praying to any deity watching that they could grab them first.

"Snatch." Senshi's echo rang through the gym as he and Erma grabbed all the balls.

"You two can go first." Amy said as Senshi handed her a ball.

"Thank you Amy." Senshi smiled, before he and Erma threw all their balls at the other students, the gym looking like a warzone as they all tried to dodge the flying rubber projectiles. When all was said, and done. Terry was the only one left standing.

"Why don't you take this one Amy?" Senshi suggested.

"Thanks Senshi." Amy smiled, before she wound up her arm and threw it at Terry.

In an act of panicking desperation, Terry fell back to avoid the ball, to which it bounced off the wall, rebounded off the basketball hoop, and off another wall, coming in on a collision course with Senshi.

"Full Counter." Senshi called out, sending the ball back to the wall, before it bounced off it again, and passed through Erma, heading straight for the coach.

"This couldn't get any better." The coach laughed, before he was hit in the side of the face with the ball, sent to the ground.

"Karma certainly collected his debt." Senshi snickered.

~Super Bowl~

"With the Teams being neck to neck. The Quarterback's gonna have to perform a mighty pass, if his team's gonna have any chance of winning this Super Bowl." The announcer said on the television.

Erma and Senshi were sitting in front of Sam and Emiko as they were watching the football game with the adults, most of them being friends Sam and Emiko invited over to watch the game. Senshi was actually kind excited for their team to win, but was certain that the adults were going a little overboard with all their yelling. Saphira didn't seem to mind, as Senshi and Erma were leaning against her, as she was now half the size of a female lion.

"Come on, come on. THROW THE BALL." He shouted.

Erma got scared and went for a hug from her mom, who went to comfort her.

"Don't worry Erma, you're dad's just worked up over a game." Emiko said.

"An' it looks like the ref has called a penalty on the Quarterback." The announcer said.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" Emiko shouted scaring Erma even more.

"GO."

"HE'S RIGHT THERE."

"HIT HIM."

"COME ON."

As all the adults were shouting, Erma was curling up in the corner, fearing all the screaming and yelling.

Saphira and Senshi noticed Erma over in the back corner, and without even thinking about it, Senshi got up, with Saphira following and sat next to Erma, pulling her in for a hug as Saphira curled up around them, laying her head on Erma's lap.

Using his Spirit Spear, Senshi changed its default form from a drumstick, to a blanket and put it over Erma to comfort her, tucking her in with a smile as she was amazed by the soft comfort of the blanket.

Undoing half the tucking, Erma put part of the blanket over Senshi, both of them ignoring and downing out the noise of the adults shouting, as they enjoyed each other's company. With Saphira curled up around them, like a mother drake around its clutch, Senshi and Erma began to doze off, and fell asleep, to the gentle rhythm of Saphira's breathing.
