Chapter 23-National Bounce Day. (Credit goes to TheVoidHunter250 for the request!)
Dash and Mirage were walking along a street where they saw a bunch of trampolines, bouncy castles, pogo sticks, and many more inflatable stuff.
"Wonder what this is all about?" Dash asked before they saw a banner that said, "National Bounce Day!"
"It looks to me like it's some kind of festival. What say we get in on it?" Mirage asked.
"Yeah!" Dash said before they started towards the festivities. They first went in the bouncy house, bouncing around like ping pong balls, before they went to the bouncy target game, where Mirage won a giant plush of Aunt Incredible. They then bounced on a trampoline, where Mirage wowed everyone with her backflips. They then looked around for a bit before they saw flyers advertising two contests. One was a hoppity hop race and the other was basketball on a trampoline.
"Woah, cool!" Dash said before he noticed the prize, a great big trophy!
"Hey, Aunt Mirage, I'm gonna go win that trophy!" Dash said as he handed the plush to her and ran to join.
"Good luck!" Mirage called before she noticed that the prize for the race was a karaoke machine!
"Cool!" Mirage said before she went to join.
Later...
"3...2...1...GO!" the announcer said before firing a cap gun to start the race. Mirage bounced in Pace with the other contestants at first before she started to slowly pull out in front. However, an arrogant contestant started trying to knock her off the hoppity hop as she gained on Mirage. Mirage, however, did a backflip as the contestant tried to hit her off, making her stumble as Mirage crossed the finish line.
At the same time, Dash had just swiped the ball from his opponent and was fixing to score when the other kid tried to bounce under him to swipe the ball. He evaded at the last second and made the winning shot.
Later, Dash and Mirage were being cheered for as they held up their prizes, Mirage standing beside the karaoke machine and Dash holding up the trophy.
Once they made it back home, Dash looked at Mirage with excitement, "Tomorrow's the day the Underminer said he would return. Which means it's also the day I get a Nintendo Switch." he said.
Mirage smiled, "Then, we better fight hard. Night, Dash. I love you." she said.
"Love you, too, Aunt Mirage." Dash said before he went into his front door.
Later that night, as Mirage went to bed, she failed to notice, out in the woods near her house, there were a pair of menacing green glowing eyes...
