Full chapter name: I beat the ultimate lifeform at Basketball
Before I say anything, I want to say this chapter is not my best work. I wrote it long ago, when the plot was just developing. But this was one scene that the little annoying voice in my head kept saying "Put it in! Please?" about. Well, since it introduces a major character, I said yes. Plus, I couldn't come up with a better entrance.
Disclaimer: I only own Sophie, Ali, and Sarah. and ever other character I am going to add. I also own a shoe. His name is Flippy.
Ali sat there, amazed, as we told about what had happened. Sonic told her about the explosion and waking up in a lake, Amy told her about how she was out looking for "Her Sonikku" when she found Ali's dog, and I told her about my dream.
"Wait a moment!" Ali exclaimed. "I had the same dream 2 nights ago!"
"Really?" Sonic asked, surprised. "I wonder what that means..."
"Sophie, are you and Ali dressed yet? You have a game in 15 minutes!"
"Woah!" I shouted. "I need to get back to my life! Ali and I have our basketball game today!"
"Basketball?" Amy asked.
"Yeah!" Ali replied. "Our moms thought it would be fun if we could do a sport together, since we don't see each other often."
"We'd better go get changed." I said. "You two... Get re-aquainted or something."
Amy sqealed with delight and hug-tackled Sonic. Ali and I giggled.
"Good to know things are the same between them," Ali joked as we went upstairs.
When Ali and I walked into the building, we parted ways. We aren't actually on the same team, but today our teams were against each other. Ali was introducing me to some of her teamates.
"That's Carly", she said pointing to a girl with medium brown hair, "She's the best player. And that's Sarah, well, she's okay, I guess. I suggest you guard her, intead."
I got a better look at Sarah. She was a tall girl, about my age, with long blond hair and blue eyes. She didn't look very confident. She seemed to get the fact that she was an "okay" player. She looked like the kind of person who seemed to say, "Don't look at me, my mom signed me up." I felt kind of sorry for her.
"Sophie! Get your butt over here!" My coach yelled. "See ya on the court, Ali!" I shouted.
Let's skip to the last 10 seconds of the game. The score is tied. Carly has the ball. She passes it to Sarah. For some reason, I start talking in present tense.
"Come on, Sarah!" the coach yelled. "One more point and we win!"
Sarah looked really nervous. One of her teamates yelled from the bench, "Don't Fail! Don't fail!" causing the rest to laugh. Sarah growled a bit.
I had been trying really hard the whole game not to use my powers. So far, I was doing pretty good. I had scored a couple of baskets myself.
So Sarah had the ball. I could tell she was nervous. I could practicly see the sweat dripping down her black and red uniform. She aimed her arm high, threw the ball it was rolling on the rim.... and it rolled right off.
"Aw, come on! What was that?" the coach complained as the timer went off. Her team mates were groaning.
"But it's not your fault," Carly said with a fake kind look. "I blame myself. I should have known better and passed to a better player!"
The rest of the team laughed. Sarah simply walked away from them, her face clearly expressing her anger. I picked up my bag (Which I had my emerald in for safety reasons) and walked up to her, soon joined by Ali.
I began to say, "Look, i'm really sorry..." but I once again cursed my clumsy feet. I tripped forward, and Ali attempted to stop me by grabbing my arm. But at that very moment, Sarah muttered two words without thinking;
"Chaos Control."
And we dissapeared in a flash.
I can't tell you how much all your reveiws mean to me! Keep 'em coming!
