Dancing With Volleyball

 

 

It all started as a German class field trip, but our bus broke down on our way out of our little town of Rognab. We were forced to seek shelter in our neighboring (and rival) school of Lygra Nep. After a great pep talk by our German teacher, the Frau (or so we liked to call her,) Some kids from the school came up to us and said their school challenged us to a Volleyball game. We accepted because us here at Rognab are definitely not losers! (Hehehe) So, we vandalized the Lygra Nep school bridge, and all went running off to the game. On the way there, one kid… I guess he's about the most sporty kid in the world and he's always ticking me off about sports, he said to me "Remember, don't worry about hitting the ball. Worry about the team."

I said, "I don't worry about the team. I worry about hitting the ball." He nodded, and ran on. Some people were doing flips and getting themselves psyched… So I jumped up in the air… floating really slow and sort of did a skateboard grab… without the board. So we were all pretty much psyched up by the time we got there. When we did get there however, I think most of us realized there wasn't going to be a Volleyball game at just about the time when they started shooting arrows at us. So we all went about trying to not die, when suddenly I got hit in the neck with an arrow… in the back of the neck. I looked at the people that it came from… and they were re-loading and not paying attention… so I ripped the arrow out of my neck, ran up to them, and grabbed the arrow of one of them… Not very smart seeing as he had a crossbow and I had an arrow without a bow. I said, "Don't shoot. You'll be sorry." He shot. Right in the neck… I think it missed my jugular by about an inch. I ripped that one out too and shoved both of my arrows against his neck.

"No! Don't hurt me!" he screamed. I pushed harder. It went in a little and a few drops of blood oozed out.

"Don't shoot at me or my friends anymore. My friends will follow me when I leave."

"Right," He said, "OK EVERYONE! NO SHOOTING AT THIS KID OR HIS FRIENDS!" so I let the kid go, gathered up my friends, and we walked out into a field… collapsed from being so tired, and lay staring up into the sky. I saw a UFO fly by, but didn't take much notice. Then I saw a tugboat fly by.

One of my friends said, "Look! There's a boat flying by!"

Another said, "That's nonsense. They're just learning how to make houses fly!" Just then a house flew spinning by.

I looked off to the distance. There was a flock of something flying towards us. After a few more seconds I realized they weren't flying… they were swimming! How odd this was… I pointed it out to my friends. Just then, they started swimming over us. They were beautiful silver sea bass, Tons of them. And behind them came a very large shark. It was the most extraordinary sight I ever saw.
