"Maka, Black*Star, you guys are team captains," Kid determines. Maka sweatdrops and begins to panic.
"B-but I don't know the rules! How am I supposed to play if I don't know the rules?" she begs frantically. You pat her on the shoulder and smile.
"I'll help you in a sec. Just pick your team so we can get started, okay?" She smiles gratefully at you.
"Thanks, [Name]," she says with a grin. You nod and stand in a line with the others. Black*Star looks at the group to select his first team member. His eyes land on Soul.
"Soul! You're with me!" he exclaims. The albino smiles, displaying his sharp teeth.
"Cool," he says. He stands proudly next to Black*Star. Maka looks at the row of people and picks you.
"[Name]," she says. You nod confidently, and walk away from your spot next to Caleb. Black*Star groans.
"Aaaawww, fine. Um... Tsubaki!" he calls. Tsubaki smiles and prances over like a little puppy. Maka chooses Kid and Caleb, while Black*Star gets Patty. You highfive Caleb and pull Maka to the side so you can explain the rules to her. She doesn't get a lot of it, but you explain the basics easily enough so she knows who to pass to, how to avoid fouls and double dribbles, and where to shoot the ball. You call Caleb and Kid over to come up with a strategy.
Liz blows a little plastic whistle to signal the start of the game. Everyone gets in position, while Caleb and Soul head to the middle. Liz throws the ball up and ducks out of the way as the two boys jump for it. Caleb is faster and taller. He grabs the ball and passes it to Maka.
"Maka, over here!" Kid shouts. Maka, thanks to your quick crash course, flawlessly tosses it to Kid just as Patty runs in to snatch it away. Kid shows off with a couple of neat crossovers before throwing the ball back to Caleb, who takes it halfway across the court before passing to you in order to evade Black*Star. You catch it and sprint for the hoop at the other end of the court.
"I don't think so," growls Soul, who has come up to play defense with Tsubaki. You slow down a little as Soul leaps in front of you, dribbling the ball like a pro in order to throw him off.
Tsubaki seems to be preoccupied with blocking Caleb. She's pretty good. Patty plays just as well. Black*Star, on the other hand...
"YOU'LL NEVER SEE ME COMING! YAHOO!"
"No! Black*Star, wait!" Soul panics. You use the distraction to leap out of both Black*Star and Soul's reach. They smack into each other and fall to the floor.
Ouch.
Oh well, too bad for them. You have a game to win.
"Go [Name]! Shoot it!" Caleb roars. You sprint for the hoop despite the twinge of pain shooting through your ankle, eyes locked on the sloppily-applied red box above the metal ring. You jump up and slam the ball through, hanging onto the rim as you dunk the orange sphere and score two points. Your team cheers wildly.
"Yes! Great shot!"
"Well done, [Name]!"
"That dunk was perfectly symmetrical!"
You let go of the hoop and drop to the ground, grinning at your team. Your heel throbs slightly.
"Thanks!" you say as your team cheers you on. "C'mon, we got a game to win." Black*Star and Soul stand up, rubbing their heads. Soul mumbles under his breath, something like "embarassing," and "not cool."
Your team scores another eight shots: two by Kid, two by Caleb, three by you, and, surprisingly, one from Maka: although that one wasn't exactly intentional.
Tsubaki and Soul also manage to make a few shots, but they still can't even out the score. You win the game with a final shot from the free-throw line. Your team cheers and everyone surrounds Black*Star.
"Alright, what's Black*Star's punishment?" says Liz. You and Caleb look at each other, confused.
"Punishment?" you ask. Maka looks at you.
"It's the only part of this game I really understand. The losing team's captain has to do a dare as punishment for being defeated. Once, I had to go on a father-daughter date with my papa. It was horrible." She shudders. You nod to let her know that you understand.
Kid snaps his fingers.
"I know! He has to spend a whole day with Excalibur!" he exclaims. Everyone sweatdrops.
"Um, Kid? I-Isn't that a bit... well, extreme?" Black*Star asks nervously. Kid lifts an eyebrow at him.
"What, don't tell me you can't handle that?" he mocks. You sigh. You've heard rumors about the legendary and unbearably annoying sword called Excalibur. You chuckle. Oh Kid, you are EVIL.
"Nonsense, I'm gonna surpass God! A puny little runt like him is nothing!" Black*Star huffs. You glance at the setting sun and see that it's starting to sink behind a large mass of inky-gray rain clouds. You tap Caleb's shoulder.
"I'm gonna get going," you say. He nods.
"See you at home. I'm gonna hang with Liz for a while," he says. You roll your eyes.
"Whatever, Romeo. See you at home," you tease. He ruffles your hair and walks away as you head out. Surprisingly, no one notices. Well, almost no one.
