A/N: Continuation of the last drabble. Yes, I am working on Survival.
Background: Matt and Nicole have psychic abilities.
Somehow, this 'game' Matt had thought up had become a contest of mental endurance.
"Throw faster!" TK shouted to his teammates, who were busy trying to pelt Nicole with tennis balls from afar.
They had split the entirety of the Zenkyoshi residents into two, trying to equal everything out as much as possible, such that neither side had a real advantage. There were an uneven number of humans, so Matt had managed to recruit his old bandmate Takashi, who seemed perhaps a little too eager to try and knock his friend over into the lake. His partner had taken over the job of retrieving the tennis balls.
So now they had two teams madly trying to knock over two psychics that were balanced on floating rocks over a lake. And whoever knocked over the other's psychic won.
Izzy thought over the strengths and weaknesses of the two as he chucked a tennis ball at Nicole. Matt was physically stronger and had better balance, but Nicole had a lot more experience with the use of psychic abilities. Both were stubborn and had the mental focus to concentrate on something for hours, something he assumed was from them both being musicians. So, when it came down to it, if Matt lost his mental balance first, he could at least take a few hits before falling, giving him time to recover. Nicole on the other hand...
Perhaps TK's shout had done his team good, for Nicole suddenly wavered.
"Wh-whaaaghaaaaaa - "
A tennis ball pelted her in the forehead, and she squealed as she fell over.
"Yaaaaaaagh!"
Splash.
Everyone on Matt's team burst out cheering.
"Whoo!" Matt pumped a victorious fist into the air as he floated himself back to the shore. "We won!"
Those who had been on Nicole's team just gazed back at them sadly. "Man, and I thought Nicole would definitely win," Yolei sighed, wiping her forehead.
Nicole's head burst from the lake surface, as she wiped the water from her face. "Me too," she said thoughtfully. "But you know what we still have as ammo?"
Everyone on her team looked at each other, as the same thought ran through their minds.
Matt's team realized only slightly too late what was about to occur.
"CHAAAARGE!" Davis belted as he led the team in the attack.
The resulting battle would be later known as the War of the Tennis Balls, which began with the fairly harmless yellow objects bonking off of everyone. It was only when Joe accidentally shoved Kari and Cody into the lake that it became a water fight, and even after the whole thing was over and everyone had returned to the house for food and dry clothes, Sora still claimed she never did find all of her tennis balls.
