Chapter 7: Show time (Part 1)
Suddenly, all time seemed to cease. It was like Blossom was the only one still moving. Realizing that this was a blessing from fate and destiny, Blossom quickly observed the scene before her. She noticed that the ball was just mere seconds away from physical contact with Butch, so how could she save him? As fast as it happened, time slowly started speeding up again. Now frantic, Blossom calmed herself down, hoping that luck was on her side and she'd have another moment to think. As the scene started to change faster, she remembered the ball in her hand. She'd picked it up when no one was near. Fate and courage coursing through her veins, as if fate and destiny understood, time started again.
She knew she'd have to be quick. As fast as she could, she slammed her ball into the opposing one, gaining momentum until finally, the force knocked the ball faraway, just out of the boundaries. Butch smiled, letting out a sigh of relief. Boomer wiped sweat off his brow. Breve and Brick were both silent, but for different reasons.
A ball whizzed by her head, snapping everyone out of their trance. "Men, back in formation" Brick ordered, oddly calm. However, Blossom caught that tiny quaver at the end.
Suddenly, as if on cue, more balls came up. Forced to abandon their plan, the team split up; now it was a matter of survival. Taking a quick look at the bench, Blossom mentally noted that most of the Gr. 6's were out. Good. Then they'd actually have a pretty decent chance of winning this.
Wham! Blossom turned around to see Boomer down. 3 people left on the team. Quickly, she ducked just in time to avoid a stray ball, dropping down low and rolling on the floor to get a near by ball. 2 people left, Breve down. Now just the 3 of them stood, against all of the Gr.7's. Wait, never mind. Make that 6 grade 7's. Butch just sniped one down.
All of a sudden, the world seemed to shift right before Blossom's eyes... Oh no! She was imagining again! Oh well, too late now. Blossom let herself be tempted into fake hospitality, letting this one lie pass by, succumbing to her sudden urge to close her eyes.
Sorry for the short chapter! I just wanted to show I'm still alive! Please forgive me! *Starts wailing in the background*
