"Let's see what you got, Rookie.
Did we make the smart call or not?"
"My name is Ruby."
"Names gotta be earned."
*Poomm…Poomm….Poom….Poommm....Swiiiiisssssh*
"Hey, this stuff is actually easy. Why didn't I try this earlier?"
"Now, can you do the same exact thing with an opponent?"
"Hmmmmmm.
*Poom…Poom….Poom….Poom...*
"Too slow."
*Poom…Poom..Poomm..Poom*
"Not fast enough."
"The other way and…..Whooops. Between the legs, here we go."
*Swish*
"You cheated?"
"But I was here the whole time. Followed all the rules, didn't double drible, and I didn't knock into you.
Maybe you're just losing your touch."
"You don't even know me."
" 'You can learn a lot from someone by just their body language alone.' "
"She might be onto something, T. Maybe you are losing your touch."
"......Beginners luck.
Again."
"Hey, aren't we supposed to be working together as a team, and not trying to impress each other with our fancy skills?
Why not use our skills together?"
"After I beat her, we will."
"Best two out of three?"
"You're on."
.*.................Swish.................................…Swish..............*Poom…Pooom….Pooom….Poom...…Poom.....swipe......…Swish*
"You other Kids want to train? Maybe we can win without him."
"Ruby, you and I both know that we need five players to make a team. No more. No less."
"Water.
*huuuh…haaa….huuu…haaaaah.
I need water."
*Gulp…..gulp….gulp…gulp...…..Tip…..tip...….tip, tip, tip, tip...…Nooo.
I'm all out.
Anybody want to fill this up for me?
Fountain is just over there."
"You can fill your own cup up. I don't want it."
"Noway, hosay. All those germs and such. I don't know whose hands have all touched that."
"Give it here. I'll fill it up for you."
"No.
You're just going to dunk the remainder of it on my head, to show off that you won."
"T. don't be a sour loser, and trust me.
Now here."
"........Hmmm.
......….Okay. But hurry."
*Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake.*
"What are you doing? You already know their is nothing in it, so stop shaking it."
*Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake...…..Splurrrrrrlasssssh*
"What the?
I just heard water droplets splashing together. You all hear that?"
"Yeah."
"Me too."
"You must be hearing things.
Give it here. I'll go fill it up my...…Spisssssssshhhhhhhhhh......Self?"
"You're welcome."
"But how?
This bottle was empty."
"And now it's not.
Give me your hand, and I'll help you up."
"But I'm a sour loser, remember?"
"Even if you lose, that still means you had to try; and that...…..I applaud."
