Chapter Text
A great finish by the Emerald Endtrails in their third game of the season. The crowd goes wild and so does the team. Cheering could be heard all around Hexside’s school campus and possibly farther.They swoop down and hop off their palisman, giving each other the human high-fives, pats on the back, fist bumps and an announcement?
Gus stood above the crowd on top of his palisman. His way of riding was different from the others, yet it had its perks. His stood mighty tall upon his palisman.
“Attention Emerald Endtrails!” The team began to look his way, “I want to give our team something as a reward!”
Viney and Skara gave a small cheer with another fist bump. Since the team was formed, those too surprisingly became really good friends.
“What kind of reward were you thinking of, Gus?” The captain of the Endtrails, Willow Park, spoke up.
“If it’s the kind ‘reward’ I’ve seen in Luz’s fanfictions, then count me out!” Hunter said raising his hands up in defense.
The girls giggled while Gus stared blankly. Not every reading a writing piece from Luz and not planning on it anytime soon. He shook his head and regained his thoughts once again.
“I don’t think so, but I was thinking of taking everyone down to my place for a movie night with snacks and delicious drinks!”
Viney and Skara began to cheer once again while Hunter stared blankly at his idea. He had never had friends outside the castle his whole life, not had he done a fun get together such as this. But while Skara and Viney enjoyed the idea, Willow intervened.
“Gus! We can drink! We’re underaged!”
“Willow, not those kids of drinks! Soda floats? Apple blood punch? The fun and safe drinks!”
Willow let out a sigh of relief. Thank the Titan he was only talking about fruit punch or sodas. She wiped the sweat off her face and looked over at Hunter who was visibly confused at Gus’s newfound idea.
“What do you think?” She said as she placed her hand on his shoulder.
He was startled and jumped at the first touch, but then his worries calmed once he knew it was Willow.
“I think it would be nice?” He questioned his own statement, “I don’t know maybe I’ll sit this one out,” he began to walk away from Willow and the rest of the End trails team, but not if Willow had anything to do about it.
As he walked off, she shouted to him, “your not going anywhere!”
She then proceeded to run towards him and tackle him into a puddle of mud. Their bodies made a thud as they smacked right into the pile. Hunter let out a gasp as the wind was knocked right out of him.
After hearing the thud, the rest of the team quickly turned their way to see Hunter laying face first into the mud and Willow right on top of him. It took a minute before the flyer derby field burst out in laughter. They raced over to the pit of mud and fell into it.
“Gross Skara!” Viney laughed, “you're all muddy!”
“So what!” She laughed and slapped a chuck of mud right in her hair.
“We’ll definitely have to wash up before our movie night!” Gus said as he was also rolled up in the mud.
The Endtrails team agreed. A proper movie night would involve everyone to be all cleaned up, dressed in comfy clothes, being surrounded by blankets and pillow forts, the amazing snacks, and you can’t forget the movie!
“Oh my Titan, I should bring some face masks to try out!” Skara said with a squeal.
“That would be so much fun!” Viney was also squealing with joy, “I can’t wait!”
And neither could anyone else. They all pulled themselves out of the mud and wiped down whatever they could. They gave each other their goodbyes and flew off on their palismen. Tonight would be the End trails night of their lives, and they couldn’t wait.
