...because friends, you know? Reagan enjoyed making her friends happy.

So, waiting for Dot's signal...the older Claw finally pushed at their ball; trying to gain some traction, and almost slipping a few times here and there. Gosh, this felt so awkward with the bigger ball in play. Not that she'd ever done this with a smaller ball...but it seemed better suited for one. Also, where was that line again?! She'd given Dot her hardest push before prematurely breaking away. Rea had FEARED the line...because going over it was bad. So...at least she hadn't? But also, she'd thought she'd given Dot enough momentum...

It was all up to her at this point.

MERLIN SPEED, DOTTIE!FACE.

Through the plastic, Rea just looked like a pink blur of movement as she lined up and sent Dottie on her merry way. She barely had time to brace herself before the ball was moving, and no time at all to think about a strategy. How had Rea done it? How had she managed to direct the ball RIGHT into the pins and knock them all down?

Dot didn't feel like she had control over any part of her body right now, and the world was spinning by too fast to even see what direction she was heading. Based on the blur of colors when she was upside down, it looked like people were back there, so pins were ahead... there! Dot threw herself to the right to direct the ball back towards the pins just in the nick of time.

And she struck SOMETHING. Not a total failure here! Rea wouldn't be embarrassed to be her partner now. As the ball stopped moving, Dot found herself peering owlishly upside down at FOUR fallen pins. Not bad at all.
