BFDI All Over: Flower in Bloom

Bowling, Now with Hatred

"So... jog my memory here, Flower." Pencil said, "The next competition is...?"

"Bowling." Flower said, "I don't know the specifics...but in the recap, there was a bit of bowling we had to do."

"Oh, nice!" Pencil smiled at that, "I love bowling. I win all the time at family bowling night!"

Well, it was good one of them was thinking positively, at least... That was more than could be said about GB.

"I hope that speaker box actually remembers he has armless contestants this time..." GB muttered.

"Don't worry," TB assured her, "He probably has a ramp or something set up for us."

"Oh wait, we're going bowling , nice!" Unfortunately, their little chat was being eavesdropped on, by Pen of all people. "Heh, you're going down , sis!"

"Ha, as if!" Pencil laughed, "I'm the queen of bowling, Pen. You know that!"

"We'll see about that!" The two gave a bit of a glare at each other...before they both burst out laughing.

"See you at Cake at Stake, Pencil." Pen waved to them as he went off to find the Announcer.

"Oh yeah, I'll see you get thrown into the TLC!" Pencil called back, cheerfully.

"Yeah, I...hey!" The two laughed some more at that, while GB just rolled her eyes.

"Siblings..." TB said, a smile on his face.

"Tell me about it." Flower said, before noting, "Hm, I think my brother joined the crowd at one point."

GB blinked at that, "You have a brother ?"

"Yeah! And I guess there's also Petunia, but she shows up way further down the line... we don't really talk much, though." Flower pointed out, "What about you, didn't you have a sister?"

"Oh yeah..." GB said, "She's obnoxious. "

"When aren't they obnoxious?"

"Yeah, but... you're stuck with 'em." Golf Ball sighed.

"Hey, maybe you can tell us something, Pencil." Tennis Ball suddenly asked. "You have seen Pen bowl before, right?"

"We have nothing to worry about." Pencil laughed, "The guy is awful . He gets, like, tons of gutterballs!"

Flower bit her tongue, remembering that was how most of her bowling games went... on the rare occasion she even bowled.

"Besides, we're, like, at the top of our game right now!" Pencil reminded them, "We're right at the top of the point ladder. The only ones in our ballpark are Pin and Snowball."

Everyone grimaced at their mention.

"Yeah, yeah, but they're gonna be out soon anyways, right?" She brought up.

That was fair to say...Snowball was already eliminated and Pin was now allianceless, so chances are, both were gonna be on the chopping block sooner rather than later. They just needed one little slip up...

"Yeah, you're right.." Flower agreed. She knew that usually, getting too optimistic too fast led to disaster...but right now, she couldn't see how things could go wrong.

She then heard her old flip phone ring, pulling it out and opening it up to see who was calling... oh, Petunia. Well, this was certainly gonna be fun. She couldn't even remember the last time she had talked to her...
