"Well it's nice to meet you Lily and Blueberry." He picked up Sutherland and brought him down to Blueberry's level. "Blueberry, this is Sutherland. Sutherland, Blueberry." No sooner had Keefer finished the introductions than he heard Sutherland begin to emit very loud noises.

SQUEAK! SQUEEEEEEEEEE! Eeep Squeeeek Squeaker SQUEAK!

Oh great, now what? he thought. He certainly didn't want his puff getting any ideas. Then again, he didn't know the gender of Lily's pygmy puff, so he wasn't sure what those ideas would be. He put Sutherland back on his shoulder to quiet him down. "Oh be quiet, you!" he said jovially. Hopefully it was just excited to meet another friend. Or go bowling.

And speaking of bowling...

"Five pins, that's not bad for a first try! Let's see how many Sutherland here can pick up next." And if there were still some left standing, Sierra's puff could take it on. Keefer hadn't ever been bowling before, but it didn't look all that complicated, given that Sutherland apparently had awesome directing-himself-towards-pins skills.

Keefer walked forward and swung the arm holding Sutherland toward the five remaining pins. He let go of Sutherland and let the little guy do the rest of the work.

EEEEEEEEEEEE! Weee! Waaa-waaa-waaa-waaaa!

"Go buddy, go!" Keefer encouraged. "Alright, four more pins down! Good job, bud!" he said as he went to retrieve his puff. With a loud squelching noise, Sutherland wrapped his long tongue around the nearest pin. "Ew, no! Not food!" he said, slightly mortified. With some difficulty and resorting to the Aguamenti trick Williamson used earlier, he managed to extricate the pin from Sutherland's clenches. "Next time I'm getting you away sooner."

So despite her near-hatred for all things Puffer, she put a smile on her face and nodded. "Cool, thanks," she said, joining the group. She held her Pygmy Puff out. "This is It," she said, looking toward the creature. "I mean, that's the name of the Pygmy Puff. It."

She watched as the boy, the Puffer captain she knew, bowled his Pygmy Puff toward the pins. "Well, that's one pin left then," she said, getting ready to roll It. She'd never bowled before, buts he'd played Quidditch. It couldn't be that much different than aiming for a goal hoop. She moved her arm back and then moved it forward again, releasing the Pygmy Puff a moment later. It rolled and rolled toward the pin.

At the last second, it must have sensed it wasn't going straight toward the pin, because Sierra could almost swear she saw the creature force a move more toward the left. That's where the remaining pin was. Finally, it rolled right into the pin, knocking it over. "...make than zero pins left."
