The Summer Games. My least favourite time to compete; the sun turns my skin to a puddle of liquid everyday. It's so fucking annoying, and it makes me wonder why we can't race in Freezerville instead, because in my opinion being a damn ice block would be way better than being stuck in this ball of heat.

Day one was probably the only good day of the time, because all we do is get put into partners once we get off the train and thrown into rooms 'till the sun rises the next day. The only con about this day is that I'm always stuck with Bofo as we're always the first to reach Dumb Dome. I hate that guy; he never shuts up about how much he wants to have a javelin thrown through his fucking body. I never understand a word he says, and neither does anyone else in the group.

Haha, well this year was different, because on the train there I was sitting next to Zany. I had always found that smaller ball of klutzy happiness to be rather adorable, although his personality would usually wind him up into some tough dilemmas, which would usually make us go off to save him or respawn him back to his cosy domain for the time being. Other than that, the magenta beanie was usually known as a happy-go-lucky yet loyal friend.

On the ride to our home for the summer, he talked to me nonstop with his feminine voice, commonly trying to neaten up his lopsided sweatband and forgetting how his head is too small to actually be able to have it on properly. His short term memory often made me chuckle to myself, leaving the other being confused yet happy that he made someone laugh. We had a nice conversation, me and him, mainly chatting and asking about the events of the games this summer, and wondering what they may be. When the train stopped to a halt, the two of us exited through the doors together, and was immediately greeted by a pastel red ball with a purple hat. This guy had never told anyone of us his true name, so we often gave him the name 'Boothy', for he would usually by seen sitting in his booth and greeting passers by. "Good evening, Loopy and Zany, what a wonderful surprise to see you together other than your usual partners!" he said joyfully, clapping his usually hidden hands in delight, "I'd gladly like to assign you two as partners for this summer! Do Bofo and Madcap mind?"

"Oh, I'm perfectly sure those two would be happy together," I said to the boothman, "I think me and Zany would work well together this summer.". I glanced at Zany, who looked up at me with a large grin, clearly happy to be with me for the time being. His reaction made me smile back as I looked back at Boothy, watching as he scribbled multiple notes on a sheet of lined paper, and soon staring back at us.

"Alrighty then! You two are assigned to Cabin One!" Boothy smiled as we turned to the cabin's direction and beginning to walk to it, "Good luck in the games!"
