>Man, you hate doing clean up duty after practice.
>You bend down and pick up another dodgeball and toss it into the ball bin.
"Why did I as team captain decide to rotate clean up duty instead of cleaning it as a whole team."
>"Well, even the best can go wrong sometimes."
>You turn around and see some goth chick standing with a ball in her hands.
>"Hi, I'm new. I wanted to try out for the team."
"Tryouts were last month but luckily for you we lost a player due to bad grades. Are you any good?"
>She gives you a freaky smile. Fangs, well that's new.
>The girl throws the ball at you without warning. Years of the game kick in and you grab the ball with one hand.
"You have quite a hand there. Come to practice this Wednesday and we'll see if you're in or not. So what's your name?"
>"Gloom Wing."
"Welcome to Equestria High."

"So are you ready?"
>"Ready."
>You look at Brad who is on the other side of the court.
"Ready?"
>He gives you smile and a thumbs up. You could swear he his teeth sparkled when he smiled.
"Go!"
>They both run to the middle and each grab a ball. Both of them eye each other waiting for the other one to make a move.
>"So Gloom Wing, do you feel lucky? Do ya?"
>Brad tosses at goth girl who dives to the side. She tosses her  ball in midair. Brad jumps to the side and has his hand waiting to grab the ball.
>The ball bounces off the wall then off the floor and into Brad's hand. Goth girl gets up and sees the ball Brad threw is slowly rolling to him.
>"Well, seems the balls are on my side. I hope you're ready cause you're about to be Brad-anted!"
>You face palm.
>Brad tosses the ball at Goth Girl. She manages to bend all the way to the floor as if she is in the Limbo Olympics. She gets back up but only to duck her head as Brad launches the second one that is an inch away from hitting her cheek.
>"Woah there girl, you're flexible."
>She smirks and grabs one of the balls.
>"I can put both legs behind my head."
>This drops Brad's guard which Goth Gurl took advantage of. She quickly tosses the ball right into Brad's face.
>Brad falls to the ground. You run over to him to check if he's alright.
"Brad, dude. Are you okay?"
>"Norman! She's on the team!"
"Yeah, you're alright."
>Goth Girl asks you if she's on the team.
"Goth, you're on the team."
>She hugs you and thanks for going her a chance.
>"Thank you! I can't wait to kick some tail with the Dodgeball King, Norman!"
"Yeah, whatever."

>"Norman to the Assistant Principal's Office, Norman to the Assistant Principal's offcie."
>You get your head off your desk and look at the intercom.
>"Ohhh you in trouble."
>"Who did you insult today, Racist?"
>"I bet someone saw him peeking at the Middle Schoolers."
>You quickly get out of your seat annoyed. Why do your classmates have to think the worse of you.
"I didn't do nothing bad. Jerks."
>You go up to the teacher and get a pass to the Main Office. You wonder what Assistant Principal Luna wants with you. Maybe it deals with the Dodgeball Team.
>Man, the last thng you need to do is to kick another player off. Oh, shit. Are your grades slipping?
>The panicing gets worse as you open the Main Office doors. You walk in and go to Luna's side. You reach the end and see the volunteer student worker.
"Hey uh Assistant Principal Luna called me."
>The girl looks up and you see its Goth Girl
>"Norman! Hey, Assistant Principal Luna just got an important phone call. You're gonna have to wait until she finishes. So are you ready for the game this Saturday?"
>You lean on a file cabinet and look at Goth girl.
"I'm the captain, I'm always ready. If I wasn't than I wouldn't lead the team."
>Goth Girl gets up and puts a file away in the file cabinet. She puts her light gray skin hand on your shoulder.
>"I know you're a great leader. That's why I joined the team."
>That brings a smile on your face. Goth Girl returns it, is it you or is her face a little closer to yours.
>"Norman, you can come in know."
>Assistant Principal Luna opens the door and pokes her head out to break your attention. You clear your throat and go inside her office.
>"Take a seat. Do not worry Norman. Today you're not in trouble. I called you to talk about raising money for the Dodgeball Team."
"Uhm don't we get some from you guys?"
>"Yes but we have had some cuts. As of right now your team will not get new uniforms unless you do a fund raiser. Do you have one planned?"
>She just brought this up. You're gonna need to talk to your team about this.
"As of right now, no. But I'll talk with my teammates and we'll tjink of something."
>"Excellent, you can head back to class."
>You get out of the comfy chair and walk out of her office. Goth Girl is doing some paper work.
"Hey, Goth girl. Emergency Team Meeting after school. Tell any teammates you see that we need to meet at the statue. Its very important that we talk."
>"Don't worry, Norman. I'll make sure everyone goes."
"Good, catch you later."
"Bye."
>You give her a single wave and head back to class.
