 Fern stopped suddenly, causing Joan to crash into her.

"I have to go back! I forgot my bag!"

"Just use the power of plants." Hope said, rolling her eyes.

"Oh yeah!" Fern said, vines already shooting from her hands.

"Ok, let's go."

They dashed into the other field, mostly everyone was there.

"Same as last time!" Miss Rosie called over her shoulder. "You guys are first against Noah!"

When they got on the field, and had strapped their rollerblades on, they watched Noah and his team carry out skateboards.

"How you play is," Amitis's voice boomed out over the stadium. "These Skateboards and roller blades will lift you, and you have to avoid these blocks and score. The game begins ... NOW!!"

They took off into the air.

Two basket balls that flew were released, and Scatty and Joan grabbed them and scored.

As Noah was getting the balls from hovering behind his seven hoops, the girls did a group high five.

"Yay!" Lummiet said.

Noah threw the ball to one of his team mates. Well, Amber thought, he tried, as Lummiet, from all the way across the field, sent the ball spinning back into his own goal.

"First to 100!" Amitis yelled.

"It's 60-0!" Amber called.

"No," Said Joan. "It's 30-0."

"Actually, these points equal 20." Amber said.

"Oh."

"We need one more goal." Scathach said as she threw one of the ball through the hoop.

"You mean zero." Lummiet corrected, after conducting the ball.

The Warrior Maid had scored with back through the hoop.

When David's team Played Noah's team, the score was 100-20 David.

"We're against Julia." Scathach said.

"Yep." Agreed Ivy.

They took off, immediately scoring 40 points. Julia's team mate pushed her over.

Now she was dangling in midair, upside down! The girl laugh a high pitched laugh.

Amber craned her neck to see the girl who had pushed her.

It was Vanessa!

She could just see the bottom of Scathach's boots.

"Pull her back up, or you're face will find the wrong end of my sword." Amber heard Scathach threaten.

She saw Scatty's sword dangle at her side. Vanessa pulled her back up very unceremoniously.

"Thank you." Said Scathach curtly. "And I will make sure you aren't pesting her.

"Guys, it's 80-20." Called Crystal, sweat running down her face.

"They scored!?" Scathach cried.

"Yeah, we did loser!" Vanessa said.

"What language is she speaking anyway?" Scathach said just loud enough for Vanessa to hear. "The idiot language?"

Flushing Vanessa flew away.

Two balls shot to either side of her head just missing her.

Scatty's two shots streaked through the hoops.

"We win!" Cried Aoife.

"Again." Vanessa added stubbornly.

"You're a sore loser." Scatty told her as they walked away.

They went up to the stadium, just in time to see the balls being released.

Julia quickly scored three goals making the score 60-00.

Noah scored two goals, making the score 60-40.

Even from the large distance, Amber could see the determined look on Julia's face.

"Hey, I just noticed something." Amber said to Lauren.

"What?" She asked.

"Tom hasn't been pesting me."

"Yeah, you're right." Lauren replied. "What about Jack?"

"No, he's still here. In fact," Amber said looking down. "He's three rows down from us." "Come on." Lauren said. "Let's go ask Miss Rosie if she's seen him."

"You're right I haven't seen Tom." Miss Rosie said one minute later. "Well girls, make sure you tell me if you see him."

"We need to get going, it's our last game now." Amber said.

"Yes," Miss Rosie said. Her voice lowered into a whisper. "Make sure you win." They dashed off just in time.

Scatty scored her usual two early game goals.

Scathach was working so hard that Amber could hardly see her.

In the end, the score was 100-60 Amber's team. "WE WON!!!!!!!" They all screamed.

They lifted the trophy in the air in triumph. "In first place, Amber and her team! And in second, David and his team! In third place, Julia and her team! And, in last but the're not the least, Noah and his team!" Amitis announced.

Everyone in the Witches and Wizards Academy section was going crazy.

Amber felt all of the eyes down on her and her friends.

She grinned.
