Brooke grinned as more people came over to join their team. She nodded as the one she didn't really know asked, and figured they'd get to know eachother by the end. And then he introduced himself. "Hi!" She beamed. And then another person joined them. Someone she knew this time! WHOOP! "Hey Mia," she greeted. Again, the blond nodded. Of course she could join! Okay. So. Clearly, Brooklyn had the best team. She grinned over at the newcomers before stroking her pygmy puff's turquoise fur and holding it up close to her face. Things were getting serious.

"Okay, Pike." Yeah- that was the name for her pygmy. Don'tquestionit. The little guy stopped and stared back at Brooklyn. BLINK, BLINK. He was quite the silent one. She grinned before continuing. "Right. We're going to play a little game, alright? I'm going to roll you down that lane-" She pointed to it. "-And we're going to try and knock down as many things as we can. Sounds good?" She stared at him, waiting for a response. He blinked. "GOOD!"

Now, she turned her full attention back to her team mates. "Well- we'll worry about other members if the topic comes up. But for now we should probably focus on the game, right?"

"Hey Alyssa can i be on your team?" She smiled at her and yawned while petting MErcy.

"You're just in time. Yeah I think we have room for one more. Get ready to roll." Alyssa laughed as she prepared to roll Nerfball. "Nerfball what I told you. Hit as many as you can,okay?" Alyssa whispered to her Pygmy Puff.

She thought his pygmy puff had a nice name?! N'aaaawww!
Can he hug her now? Or maybe he shouldn't , he didn't want to scare his team mate. His gaze therefore went to the pygmy puff in her hands and he waved his hand at the little yellow creature. "Hi Barny!" he said and held Ducky Duck up with his other hand. "Ducky Duck, this is Barny. He is your teammate now so don't tackle him" He told the puff and it looked back at him as if he was crazy.

He is but mweh.

Looking away from the two puffs and towards the girl with his dark brown eyes, Daichi bowed as she introduced herself. "I'm Daichi" he smiled and got up from his bow. He may be weird but at least he had manners~

Getting back up , Daichi noticed another Hufflepuff girl walking towards them. He had seen her from a far and when he comfirmed that she did walk to them he smiled. He waited for Ella to answer and when she said yes, Daichi automatically nodded his head as well. The more the merrier he would say.

"So what now?"

"Sweet and thanks." She laughed as Alyssa talked to her pygmy puff then Taylor whispered to Mercy as well, "Mercy, we are going to play a little bowling. Try to hit as many as you can but have fun." She petted the pygmy puff who started to purr at that second. Tay smiled and laughed.

Ella looked from Daichi to Minnie with a small smile. "Now we bowl!" she said cheerfully. She approached one of the empty lane setups that Professor Williamson had made and placed little Barny down on the soft floor. He seemed happy enough which was a relief to her. "Does anyone want to go first?" she asked, looking at her teammates. "I'm rubbish at bowling." she added sheepishly with a shrug.

Keefer noted that there appeared to be two teams forming. Well that's silly, there's five lanes! The Captain boldly stood up and made his presence known to the rest of the barn.

"If anyone is brave enough, come join Team Keefer!"

Now accepting applications.

And while I wait... Keefer took Sutherland down from his perch atop the his own shoulder. "Listen up, buddy. We want to win!" He tickled his pygmy puff affectionately under where he supposed the chin was located. It was hard to tell with all the puffy fur-fuzz. "So.. I hear you guys are pretty good at controlling where you roll. Don't be afraid of the pins. They don't bite and they won't hurt. I promise." Not that he would be able to tell if it were hurting little Sutherland, since he couldn't make heads nor tails of all the squeaking.

"I'll try as hard as I can to get you pointed in the right direction, but I can't do it alone." He shook his head. "It's a team effort, Sutherland. So do your best for Team Keefer, bud!"

Lily looked around for someone that she hadn't worked with before to join as part of their team. Picking up Blueberry, Lily wandered around looking for someone to join, while petting her puff. Hearing someone shout out, Lily looked towards the voice. "Hey um, do you mind if we join you?" Lily asked the Hufflepuff boy, glancing at Blueberry and then back to the boy.

Daichi laughed at Ella's cheerfulness and nodded his head as she walked towards the lane. He waited for Minerva to come as well and placed Ducky Duck back on his shoulder.

His puff was trembling a little as he saw the lane and as Ella placed her puff on the soft floor, Daichi grabbed his own pygmy puff. The little creature was trembling again and Daichi placed him on the floor as well. "See" he said to the little creature and watched it hop around on the soft floor. "The floor is really soft right? and you like to roll around right?" He asked his puff and Ducky Duck made a loud sound that Daichi thought it meant yes. "You can do this Ducky Duck because YOU are the champion" he turned to the two hufflepuffs. "No offence to those two" he laughed.

At Ella's question , Daichi jumped up and waved his arms in the air. "ME ME! i want to go first, i'm a PRO at bowling!" and without waiting for an answer he stepped on the lane. Tickled the grey pygmy puff, telling it not to be afraid aaaaaaaand. He rolled the ball of fluff!

It rolled..and rolled...and..missed. It missed by far! Scratching his neck, the Slytherin turned around with a stupid grin on his face. "Ehm..oops?"

Selina was mortified. They were going to do what to the little Pygmy Puffs? She knew that they'd be fine, but her little Owen had motion sickness. This was going to end up in a lot of Pygymy Puff vomit. And then Selina was going to have to clean it up. Why oh why did theu have to do this now??

Although teams sounded like fun and Keefer was being super loud about the whole thing. So she decided that this was war. She looked around for Kurumi and saw her with the other Selena. The Selina with red hair approached the pair and said, "You wanna make a team?"

Ducky Duck the champion? Ella smiled at this, giggling softly. "None taken, if Barny is a better bowler than me it'll be a miracle!" Ella said with a grin.

Ella laughed at Daichi's enthusiasm to go first. She smiled at Minnie, wondering if she was also amused. She was eager to see if Daichi was actually a pro like he said. Before she could say she was fine with him going, he was already rolling his little puff.

Ella watched as Ducky Duck rolled...and rolled...and missed. Well that didn't work out the way he'd planned. Ella was happy to see that even though Ducky had missed, Daichi still seemed to be in good spirits. "No worries! Ducky Duck will get-em next time." Ella said reassuringly. "I guess I'll give it a go then?"

Ella knelt down in front of Barny, whispering to him. "Alright Barnabus. You were born for this. You are a rolling machine now I want you to get your little fluff ball self together and roll down there and you-you knock those pins down! You are the pin master!" With that, Ella sent Barny rolling down the lane. He picked up speed as he went and Ella smiled. "Go!" She watched as he hit several pins.

Okay so Gideon had gotten completely lost in the course of the class, especially once his partner had spoken up on what they had learned or hadn't learned in all honesty. And then the professor had moved them on to the next part of the lesson...the activity...the man straightening up the area before describing what they would be doing.

He was a COMC professor?

Usually they were all about respecting the creatures that they worked with, not using them for games. And then there was the added struggle of pairing off again. Or at least into groups. And seeing as he had lost track of his partner Gideon looked around for others that he could work with. Spotting Kurumi, Selina and another girl, he made sure Doyle was secure back within his scarf around his neck and headed over to them hoping they had room in their group for him. "Hey are ye all working together? Any room for another?"

Minnie watched as the first two went. She looked down at purplicious and was worried it would hurt her. But the professor said it wouldn't "My turn" she smiled at the other two and stepped up to the alley. Rolling the Pygmy Puff down towards the pins she watched it move along the straight path. Purplicious knocked over two pins. Minerva clapped her hands it wasn't much, but oh well it was fun.

Selena was still BEAMING at the Cookie Prefect when Alie- Selina with an I came over and Selena grinned at her too. Oh, Selena liked these Gryffindorks. They were like... the only nice Gryffindorks she knew. Yup. So they were automatically COOL. "Alien Selina!!!" Selena greeted, dropping Kent on the floor and waving at girl from the ground. Because the view from below was obviously cooler. That was why she was short. Make a team? Oh riiiiight.... that was what they were doing here... And there was another Gryffindor. Were there no Slytherins here??!?!? "HAAAIIIII." Because it was nice. Right? To work with people? But where were the Slytherins? "I think you can join our team! Riiiiggghhht?" Selena asked, looking at the Cookie Prefect who miiiight be part of the team and then at the Alien Girl Selina.

"Yaaay! Gooo Team Epically Awesometastical Pygmy Puffs!" Selena exclaimed. And with that, Selena patted the floor with her hand, placing Kent in her lap before he decided to roll away like the Cookie Prefect's had. "Come ooooon! Take a seat!" Because there was no point in standing quite yet. They weren't rolling any pygmy puffs yet.

And now... for something even more important. "ANY MORE SLYTHERINS?!?!? I'm kinda outnumbered here with these Gryffindors on Team Epically Awesometastical Pygmy Puffs!!!" Yes. Slytherins. Where are you?!

Cookie Prefect? Kurumi should have known that more nicknames involving cookies would surface even after the pioneers of such nicknames graduated. Evelyn with Cookie Girl and Salander with Cookie Princess to be exact. She should probably have a nickname for Selena too, right? Save that bit for later.

Okay, no more rolling for now. It was time to BOUNCE! Momotaro II bounce all around the floor in hopes of getting the other to join him. Surely he wanted to rooooooooooooooooll around as well, yes?

SQUEEEEK MEEP MEEE SQUEE!!

S-S-Squish him? Um...did pygmy puffs like being squished? Kurumi wasn't sure that Momotaro II really wanted to be squished just now. "Um...I guess?" Kurumi really wasn't sure about this squishing thing. "So...repeat of capture the flag?" Since they had teamed up then and stuff. Seemed like their pygmy puffs had made the decision for them after all.
OH OOH OOOOOH! More friends to bounce with! This was going to be fun! Maybe they SHOULD race with each other and see who could hit the most pins?! Not that he really understood the point of pin hitting...but whatever.

*bounce bounce rooooooooooooooooooooooooooll*

"Hey Selina," Kurumi waved. Merlin this was going to be confusing. Time to come up with a nickname for one of them. "Sure, as long as your pygmy puff is alright with it." After all, if their creatures didn't get along with each other, there would be no point of them being on the same team, right? But then SelEna called SelIna Alien Selina and Kurumi pondered for a moment using that as a nickname to distinguish between the two for the rest of the duration of the lesson.

Nope. Wasn't going to work. Kurumi just could not call her best friend an alien when she knew that to be a lie.

"So...Team EAPP for short?" Because that team name was AWFULLY long...
Looking up again now, Kurumi should have known that it wouldn't be long before Gideon showed up. "Hey, Gideon," she smiled as she glanced at her pygmy puff that was currently having a ball rolling around all over the place. "I...don't see why not." Professor Williamson hadn't specified how many to a group and as long as there were enough people to divide up into teams it should all be fine.

And then SelEna went shouting about Slytherins and being outnumbered. "Um...Selena...does it really matter? I mean...if we are a team doesn't what house we are in sort of cancel out?" After all, there was no Gryffindor in team...no Slytherin either come to think of it.

Glancing around the room again, Kurumi turned back to her group. "Do to think we should just give this...um...bowling a go? People can join us later if they want to."

GO?! DID SOMEONE SAY GO?!

*rooooooooooooooooooooooll*

Ella watched as Minni rolled her little pygmy puff down the lane towards the pins. She smiled as the puff hit the pins dead on, knocking over two. "Good shot, little guy." She said cheerfully. "Hey, I just thought of something. We don't have a team name..." She looked at Daichi and Minnie, wondering what their name should be.

Watching Sierra get up and walk away, Elise's eyes widened. Was she just... GIVING UP?! But Elise wanted to play the puff games! Hearing her saying something about going to get the lettuce, Elise shook her head in an attempt to get it off. Its claws just tightened their grip on her hair. Painful.

Honey thought that they were just being funny. Yay! Funny people with nests on their heads. FluffFluffFluff! Oh, the black nest girl was walking away? What about her food?! She was dangling it, SO FAR AWAY! Sticking out her tongue as far as it could go, Honey tried to grab the lettuce. Maybe it was a game! That's fun! Not being able to reach, Honey did the puff equivalent of a shrug, shuddering slightly and cozy-ing itself into its new nest. She wasn't hungry anyway.

All right, it didn't look like Sierra's lettuce-waving skills were up to par.

"Elise, I'm going to do you a huge favor, here, and separate your pygmy puff from your head. You're going to have to hold still, though." William gave the girl a grim face and flicked out his wand, standing back and rolling up his sleeves a bit.

He took a breath and then pointed his wand at the pygmy puff. "AGUAMENTI!" the man cast loudly, sternly, directing the blast of water that came jetting out of his wand straight at the crazy, nesting puff. His PLAN was that the water would catch the pygmy off guard and cause it to lose its grip on the girl's hair, then he would swoop in and scoop the puff up up and away.

So that's what Willy did: he went in for the swooping, aiming to just snatch that pygmy --- Honey, or Money, or whatever her name was --- off of poor Elise's hair....

Daichi stepped off the lane after grabbing Ducky Duck and watched as Ella went first and hit a few pins. He cheered for her and as he clapped his hands (he had placed Ducky Duck on his shoulder) he looked at Minerva for the third try.

He watched how her Pygmy Puff rolled down the lane aaaand , knocked over two pins! "Woohoo!"

Now it was his turn again, right? Daichi took his Puff off his shoulder and gave it a little pep talk. "Okay, you can do this. Ducky Duck you are the most awesomest bowler in the world! Can you hit does pins!?" He turned the small Puff around and it squeaked in his hands excitedly. "Can you~~~?!" Another LOUD squeak and the Slytherin just had to hug his Pygmy Puff. "Okay then.."

He stepped on the lane, his Pygmy Puff was still squeaking excitedly at the thought of roooollling again soon. When he moved his arm backwards to roll he was stopped all of the sudden by the hufflepuff girl. Eh? team name ?

Daichi stopped what he was doing and thought. Oh he had a team name alright, but would they like it? Yet , on the other hand. He IS older than them and therefore he IS wiser. ahem. "Duck Ducky Duckington Duckio team!"

and they better like it, or else he was going to tell the Professor, hmpf.

AAAND now he rolled! His grey colored Pygmy Puff rolled on the soft squishy floor and Daichi watched how Ducky Duck knocked over 4 pins.

Feeling yet another painful yank on her hair as the crazy puff tried to get cozy, it was all she could to to nod at Professor WWW. She didn't care if all her hair fell out anymore. She just needed to get the puff off.

Hold still. So he was going to yank it off her head. Or wait.. WHAT?! He was pulling out his wand? What was he going to do, kill her?! AGUAMENTI?! What was the guy, nutters? As the jet of water drenched the puff, it also kinda got into her hair and started dripping onto her robes. Great.

As the jet of water soaked her from head to -i dunno...- knee? She felt Honey's grip loosening and the next thing she knew, the honey-colored puff flew across the room and knocked over a bowling pin or two... or five.

Now Honey was just snuggling in when some cold jet of something blasted her off her nest. That was mean! But when she hit the floor, she started ROLLING! Rolling Puffy! Rollrollroll! Oh! Hi straight thingy do you wanna roll too?

KNOCCK!

Alyssa smiled the moment the Professor said that they could start playing the game. "Okay, Nerfball it is time to do your thing. Remember you need to knock down as many of those things at the other end that you can. Everytime you do, I'll give you a reward. Here's a taste of what you will get." Alyssa knew there was reason why she kept the tissue she had blown her nose into after that loud sneeze of hers. She unrolled it, made a face and let Nerfball sniff it. His/her tongue immediately flicked out and attacked the snot wrapped in the tissue. Alyssa gave him/her a taste of it, before quickly covering back up again.

"You'll get more of that when you make those pins roll okay. Are you ready? Remember aim for those pins, Nerfball...READY, STEADY....GO." Alyssa swung Nerfball back and forth as she called out and on the call go, she released him/her. Nerfball flew forward, landed softly on the ground and rolled all the way headed for the pins. It hit the one's directly in his/her path...one down...two down....three down.....four down...five down...and then Nerfball did the strangest thing, he continued rolling but veered off from the straight line he had been rolling in and changed direction. He was going for the other pins he hadn't knocked down!! "GO NERFBALL GO!!! GET THOSE PINS!! WOOH!! NERFBALL." Alyssa couldn't believe her eyes. She had picked a champion Pygmy Puff. Either that or he/she really LOVED her snot.

Ella felt bad for stopping Daichi mid turn but thought it was wise for them to have something to call themselves, especially when they were surely the team to beat. She smiled at the older boy, wondering what he was going to come up with. His choice was quite interesting, and different to say the least. No one else would have that team name, that's for sure. Ella smiled, nodding her head. "That's a nice name, Daichi...maybe a little long though. How about the Mighty Ducks!?"She looked at her other teammates for their opinion on the matter. Daichi's name was nice but Ella was sure she wouldn't remember it. "I guess since our team name will involve the work Duck that means Ducky Duck will have to be team captain of the puffs or something!" she said cheerfully.

She watched as Daichi once again took his roll. This time Ducky Duck was much more successful, knocking down four pins. "Yay Ducky Duck!" Ella exclaimed, clapping her hands. "My turn." She said, looking down at Barny. "Okay Barnabus, you're up. Show them what you're made of." Ella sent the little yellow puff rolling towards the pins, her eyes wide and her fingers crossed. This time, Barnabus went a little to the side and was only able to knock down two pins. "That's okay Barny. I still love you!" she called with a smile. "Minnie, you're up."

Amelia smiled as there was another person added to the group. The more the merrier! And five was perfect in her opinion. When they were told they could start, she watched as Alyssa took her turn with her Puff. Apparently its name was Nurfball, and she hoped it did a good job.

And apparently it did.

She jumped up and down excitedly. "YAY NURFBALL!!" Hopefully Pixie would do as good a job with this, because she thought it looked like fun. Okay, so she ha no more reservations about this.

Keefer heard a small voice address him and turned around. "Oh, of course not!" He smiled at the girl and introduced himself. "I'm Keefer. And this here," he grabbed his puff and presented him, "is Sutherland."

"I hope you guys are ready to have some fun! Ladies first!" he said, stepping aside to give her access to the lane.

"You two are doing great" Minnie smiled. It was her turn again. "Ok Purplicious your up again." she walked up to the lane and rolled the pygmy puff down the lane it was a straight shot and Purplicious hit four pins. Minerva clapped her hands "Great Job" She went and picked up her purplicious. "Daichi your turn again."

Lily looked up at the boy as he introduced himself and his puff, breaking a little smile as he finished. "I'm Lily and this is Blueberry or at least for today, since I don't own him." Lily held Blueberry out so that Keefer could see the pygmy puff.

Lily stepped up as Keefer moved aside so that she could get to the lane. "Come on Blueberry, all you have to do is roll down the lane and knock over all of the pins." Petting the puff until it purred, Lily stepped up and prepared to send her puff down the lane. As she let go, the puff started rolling quickly down the lane.
Roll...roll roll roll roll... faster and faster the puff went down the lane. Oooo.. big stick thingies... is that what the girl!person told me to hit... As the puff reached the end of the lane, Blueberry knocked over five of the pins.
