Your name is Meulin Leijon and your teacher is handing out the sign-up sheet for field day. There are so many choices, you have no idea what to choose. You are an extremely fast runner, so you think about doing the relay race. But, Latula is begging you to do the three-legged race with her, so, after what seemed to be an eternity of begging, you agree to be her partner. After everyone signs up, your teacher takes it up, and exits the room.
When she returns to the room she announces for the girls who had signed up for the cheer-off to go to the gym. This left the class with the only girls left being you and Latula. Your teacher gives you all free time for the rest of the day.
"Come on Meulin, let's practice," Latula announces as she jumps up from her seat and begins to bind her and mines legs together using her jacket.
We start to walk at a steady pace until we have a rhythm. Then, once we get used to our legs being together we process to build our speed until we are jogging.
"Wow we are doing great! Keep it up 'Lin."
"Alright, I think I'm getting the hang of th-"
Next thing you know you are on the ground, you think you tripped over some toy.
"Oh my, Meulin, I am so sorry. I really didn't mean to, are you okay? I'll go get the nurse," Horrus rambled on worriedly.
"I'm okay Horrus, really, thank you for caring though," you replied reassuringly.
"Alright, sorry again," He picks up his toy, smiles and walks over to the other side of the room.
Latula grabs your arm and help you get back on your feet. "Woah, you okay? Good thing there won't be any toys in the field am I right?"
You chuckle "Ya, how about we sit out for a little and get back to practicing later?"
"Sounds good dude!"
"Hey, Kurloz, will you maybe do the three-legged race with me? I mean you don't have to but if you want to,"
You turn around to look at your friend and smile "I'd love to Mituna, it sounds fun,"
A bright grin spreads across his face "Alright! We will beat the other class for sure!"
"For sure," you returned.
/ding ding/
"Yeah! Finally time for recess I can't wait to see what 'tuna is doing for field day!"
"They are probably just going to do the relay races again Latula, they both are pretty fast,"
"You never know 'Lin, they could be competition, gotta keep an eye out for 'em if ya know what 'm sayin'," Latula bursted with a small bounce in her step "I mean, fast or not, we will destroy the competition!"
You just laughed as you both step outside and wait for Kurloz and Mituna at the swings. 'Gosh, I'd really hate to have to go up against those two, it would be really hard 'cuz of how fast both of them are, though, they might go easy on us cuz we are "girls",' you lost your train of thought as Kurloz and Mituna approached, both looked rather excited.
"Hello Meulin," greeted Kurloz, "are you excited for field day? Mituna and I decided to do the three-legged race this time, the change should be fun,"
"Oh! Latula and I are doing the three-legged race too! I guess that means we are competitors!" you say with a laugh, but you could see the amusement in Kurloz's eye lessen, "It'll be fun, I mean, Latula is one of the most competitive people I know, well, besides Meenah I guess. You better be ready, we will kick you guy's butts for sure!"
His face brightens "You guys are the ones who should be getting ready, we won't be going easy,"
"You're on," you say with a wide grin appearing on your face 'This will be fun,' you think to yourself.
