"That's four points for me," Candy announced, throwing the basketball back to Pepper as Stanley, ZigZag, and Zero walked up to the basketball court.
"Don't look now," Pepper began, seeing the boys walk up, "but guess who's here." Candy and Loca both turned around and saw Stanley, ZigZag, and Zero.
"Oh, hey guys," Candy greeted, then taking a big gulp from her water bottle.
"Hey, which one of you thinks they can take on Candy in basketball?" Loca asked as she grabbed the ball from Pepper and threw it to Candy, who just put down her water bottle.
"What about you Z?" Candy offered, grinning as she looked at the dumb-struck ZigZag.
"Are you… challenging me?" ZigZag asked, trying to sound tough even though he didn't know a thing about basketball.
"Looks like it," Candy answered, throwing the ball to ZigZag, who barely caught it.
"Got a problem with it?" Candy added, beginning to walk toward ZigZag.
"Pppssshhh… me? Problem? Basketball? Never…," ZigZag rambled before he gulped.
"Alright then…," Candy said so close to ZigZag that their noses were almost touching, "GO!"
Candy then knocked the basketball out of ZigZag's hands and made a slam dunk with ease, accidentally knocking ZigZag down in the process.
"No… fair," ZigZag said as he got up and staggered to his feet.
Candy laughed to herself and said, "Have you even played basketball before?"
"No," ZigZag replied so quiet that even he could barely hear himself.
"What's that?" Candy asked.
"No," Zigzag repeated a little louder.
Candy smiled a bit and said, "Don't worry Z, you'll get better… I promise."
ZigZag smiled back.
"Anyone else wanna see if they can play me?" Candy said as she took the ball back into her hands.
"What about you Caveman?" Candy added, throwing the ball to Stanley, whose slow reaction caused him to miss the ball.
"You ever played basketball before, Caveman?" Candy asked, beginning to run toward the missed basketball along with Stanley.
"Just a little at my old school," Stanley answered as he caught up with the ball and grasped it in his rough-skinned hands.
"Think you can make a basket before me?" Candy asked slyly as she caught the basketball that Stanley had thrown back to her.
"Oh, you you're challenging ME now?" Stanley joked, spotting a slightly pouting ZigZag out of the corner of his eye.
"You got it," Candy replied, also joking as she threw the ball to Caveman, but he caught it this time.
With great anticipation, they walked the rest of the way toward the basketball court.
"Alright…," Candy started, putting herself into her playing position.
"One…two…GO!"
And with that, Candy once again snatched the ball from Stanley's hands and began to run towards the basketball hoop.
As Stanley jumped to stop Candy from scoring, the collided into each other.
"Umph!" Stanley grunted as he fell onto the asphalt cover ground of the basketball court.
Candy landed on top of him.
Their faces were so close that their noses were actually touching.
Candy's hands were on top of Stanley's toned out chest and their torsos were touching.
Caveman then noticed that Candy's eyes were a very nice hazel color.
Blushing and embarrassed, Candy quickly got to her feet and pushed a few wet strands of her dirty blonde hair out of her face.
"Sorry about that," Candy apologized, holding out her hand for Stanley, who was still on the ground, to grab.
"It's alright," Stanley replied as he took Candy's hand.
As Stanley was pulled to his feet, he realized that Candy had a very firm grip and a good amount of upper body strength.
Candy bent over and picked up her water bottle.
"I think I'm gonna call it a day, it's almost time for dinner anyway, "Candy announced, taking a sip of her water.
"Me too," Loca replied, "We better get changed before Mr. Sir catches us."
"What do you mean?" Stanley asked, taking his gaze off of Candy and onto Loca.
"We got banned from the basketball court a week ago," Pepper explained.
'Oh! So you're the kids who put silly string all over the hoops and write 'Mr. Sir is a fag' on the backboards with a permanent marker," Stanley said.
"Yup," Candy replied, taking her hair out of the ponytail it was always in.
When it was down, it was just beneath shoulder length.
Her hair was quite wavy as well.
"With help from yours truly," ZigZag said, sounding and feeling proud of himself.
"Yeah yeah," Candy scoffed sarcastically, "you're just lucky that we three didn't rat you out."
"Hey, is it my fault that I had the common sense to run after I heard footsteps coming toward the basketball court?" ZigZag bragged, still proud of himself.
'It would have been nice if you would have told us something before you took off like a speeding bullet!" Pepper yelled, the sound of laughter was noticeable in her voice.
"You girls are just jealous because I'm sexy," ZigZag said, caressing his stomach and chest in attempt to make the three girls laugh.
To keep it simple, his attempt worked.
"Oh yeah ZigZag, you're one tasty piece of man-candy," Loca said, pretending to be turned on.
"Hey Loca! Stay away from my man!" Candy joined in, pretending to be ZigZag's girlfriend.
"Ladies...ladies," ZigZag said, "there's enough of me to go around."
Everybody, including Stanley and Zero, burst out laughing.
"Come on, we better go," Loca said , reminding them that it was almost time for dinner.
A/N: Sorry that it took me so long to update, but with school and trying to write my other stories, I just didn't have enough time. I really hope that this chapter was worth the wait!
