The Muggle Studies classroom is clean and inviting, sunlight streaming through the windows and casting a warm glow over the entire space. Perhaps this is why Professor Moxley seems to be in such a great mood. The brunette is perched on the corner of her desk at the front of the room, her outfit indicative of today's topic for discussion and her happy face sticker placed on her shirt, showcasing her current mood. Hopefully you're familiar with the new classroom rules because the Moxinator fully expects you to rock a mood sticker soon, as well.
The room is organized a bit differently this time around, the tables creating a big U shape, with Moxley's desk acting like a crown at the top. Once you've greeted the professor, why not sit down and relax a bit? You'll need your energy for today's lesson! That's a promise.

Benny was grateful for the help out of the ball as he had been thrown off by the rolling. " A little dizzy, " he confessed, once he was free, Adi clearly concerned for him. That was before moving to enter the inflatable ball himself for his own turn on the lanes. The Gryffindor followed along, zipping his friend in securely.
" If you say so." The seventh year getting into position behind the ball. Benny then took off, rolling his friend, catching himself before he crossed the foul line. Then all he could do was watch as Dai carrenned down the lane and into pins. 3 more went down bringing their total up to 5 out of 6.
"Great," he let out as he helped his friend back out of the ball so they could move it back to the begging for his own next roll. " you okay, Hippogriff.?"

"Great," he let out as he helped his friend back out of the ball so they could move it back to the begging for his own next roll. " you okay, Hippogriff.?"
Nope. This Hippogriff was not okay.
He staggered to his feet, reaching to grab onto Benny but only succeeded in grabbing air and tumbling face first onto the lane. BADGER DOWN!!! "Lemme just lay here and catch myself. Thank the Hippogriffs the floor is always there to catch me,'' he mumbled to the precious floor, his eyes firmly closed. Ugh! That ride had been fun right now... BLEH!
After about three minutes, Adi opened his eyes and stared sloooowly around. Oh goody! Everything was in focus. The spinning his eyes had been experiencing had ceased completely. PHEW! He pushed himself off the ground and to his feet. He was ready to get back in the game! Nothing could keep this Hufflepuff down!
"Come on, Benny! We've got pins to knock down!'' Enthusiastically, the Puffer helped Benny in then zipped the ball up. "All set?" With the okay, he started the push off. Slowly at first then gathering momentum. Down the lame they zipped with the foul line approaching but not touched nor crossed. Then... byebyebye, Benny! You were on your own!
Noelle LOVED bowling. OF course, she was no good... but no one had to know that. Heh.
And now they had to find a partner. Noelle was easy at this.... although it was harder to make friends with older years. Sighing, she looked around. Blaise was already taken. He would have been her first choice since he was right beside her.
Oh well.
Looking around, Noelle saw a girl that was looking around. Grinning big, she bounded up to her. Her homesickness completely gone. "Hi! Remember me??' She asked and made a little crown with her fingers.
"Partners?" Because why not?
Just as Timmy was going to pick a random person, she was aproached by her little friend. Grinning, Timmy nodded and hugged Noelle quickly. "Good, we'll have fun," The blonde went off to grab shirts and turned them pink. Did Noelle like this color? Well, little too late now. Walking back to her, she gave Noelle the shirt. "I hope you like pink,"
Now. Who was gonna go in the bubble thing first?
Noelle was small enough to start and all but would she want to? "We need to decide who goes first,"

...and she was being herded into the ball. Well, that was okay. She was perfectly fine being the first ball.
"You've got this, Charlotte!"...Though all the excitement, the redhead hadn't given a 'name' preference. So, Rea planned to use her proper name until she said otherwise. It was the safe choice, in her opinion. As for this bowling adventure, Rea toed her way into the ball, sitting and wrapping her arms around her folded legs. She was set to go!
"I'm ready!"
"You can call me Dot," she pressed her hands and mouth to the bubble ball and shouted, just in case Rea couldn't hear her very well in there. It wasn't that she loved being called Dot, but it was possible that telling someone now not to call her Dot would make them feel like she liked them less.
"And I've got this." She had full confidence in their ability to bowl over ALL of the pins. All of them. Dot was a dead shot, or at least her efforts in Charms led her to believe so. Granted, a lot depended on the ball itself... or Rea herself.
Backing up as far as she dared, Dot took a running start at the ball, which she rolled in front of her until she got to the line. It was hard not to sliiiiiide right over the line, but she tipped over instead and landed in a pile on the floor.
Wisconsin? Where in the name of Merlin was Wisconsin?!
Phillip blinked at her, trying to process all of this information. Was he meant to tell her his history? Because it wasn't THAT interesting but he would certainly make it sound like it was! "Well, GOOD that you're here because Hogwarts is GREAT. Full of ADVENTURE, I've heard." And he nodded seriously because he knew a LOT about Hogwarts. Mhm.
The first year hadn't been at Hogwarts for long but he certainly knew that Hufflepuffs were the nice lot. The fair lot. So was it surprising that the girl chose a colour that was both Hufflepuff and Slytherin? OF COURSE NOT. Phillip nodded and grabbed himself a shirt as well before tugging it on. "What do you think?" And he pulled a MIGHTY STANCE BECAUSE HE WAS PHILLIP ROMALOTTI AND HE CAN.
Ahem.
What? Whaaaaaaaaat? But he. Ugh. LADY. "Okay, I guess. Ladies first." SEE? He was a GENTLEMAN. "And we're going to win this, okay?" Because he wanted to. Simple. "C'mon," he said, taking her hand and tugging her towards a nearby lane, "Are you ready to rock and," AHAHAHAHAHA. "roll?"
He was SO FUNNY.
Gwen loved funny people, even when they laughed at their own jokes, which Phillip was definitely doing. "Let's roll." She agreed.
"Oh, and if I ever talk too fast for you, or say too many unrelated things, don't hesitate to ask me to repeat myself. Wisconsin is in America, it has the Midwestern American Wizarding school. It's where I would have gone." Sometimes, Gwen was even too much for herself to handle.
"And the shirt looks great on you".

Dot it would be then...and yes, she could hear the redhead loud and clear.
So, flashing her new friend a smile, Reagan tried to hold the best position for rolling; not that she knew anything about what she was trying to do. Yep, this was an entirely NEW situation, this was. FUN...EXCITING, even...but neeeeew. But she thought she had some specifics down. Depending on how hard Dot pushed her cushy ball, Rea would roll towards the target and could even control the steering...Which meant when she got to the pins, she could rock the ball to and fro; potentially slowing herself and plowing over any pins initially left over.
A LOT of brainpower had went into this idea/theory, by the way.
CLENCHING her eyes shut as her teammate made contact with the ball, the older Ravenclaw let out a SQUEAK. This was...definitely an interesting experience. In fact, she was laughing the entire way down the lane, EYES WIDE OPEN as she fought against vertigo. SHE HAD TO SEE THE PINS. THIS WAS IMPORTANT BUSINESS...
They were at least a foot off...
...and then a few inches off...
...and then IMPACT.
Dot had kept them fairly straight...and Rea had FLAILED in her cushy space all over the pins; DETERMINED to take all of them down. AND SHE HAD. Looooool, the thing was...she'd probably never be able to do that again. It had been too lucky; too perfect. Oh, well. THEY'D STARTED STRONG. WHEEEE.
Question, though: How was she going to get back to Dot.....? STILL LAUGHING, Reagan yelled for help.

In spite of her mad aim, there was NO way that Dot expected to knock down all the pins. DID SHE DO THAT? Or, more likely, had Rea figured out a clever way to knock everything over? At this rate, they were going to win the whole shebang and Moxley would make them queens of the class and there might even be tiaras. Dot would go a long way for a good tiara.
When it became obvious that Rea couldn't make her way back up behind the line, Dot scooted down the lane to help the girl out of the ball before rolling it back up toward the top of the alley. "You were ace at that. Maybe you should just do it over and over and pretend to be me half the time. I don't think I'll be able to knock over all six like that. We're ahead right now!"
Although... it was early days. Ahem. Dot climbed into the ball, now that it was her turn, and wrapped her arms around her knees the same way she'd seen Rea do. Maybe if she copied the older girl, she'd be able to knock over just as many pins.

SPOILER!!: Ethan
Of course, of course. Ethan agreed to everything that AJ just said. If the class only knew how the two of them worked, yeah? One determined Gryffindor, and an ambitious Slytherin towards a common goal? People should be scared of them. Yep.
Without second thoughts, the Slytherin got his golden uniform and wore it over his shirt . Geez, they do look like winners already, and wearing it seem to make him pumped about the activity too.
Turning his attention now to the professor, Ethan listened carefully, and made sure to remember the rules. LOL. If he did push through with the idea of partnering up with Moxley, he was sure he’d have a challenging time, pushing her. Not that he couldn’t push her, because, ahem, he’s been working out, but you know…it could be a huge advantage for them. No pun intended. Imagine the pins she should knock out in one go!
But yes, that was not the case. Looking down at his partner, Ethan knew he had to be careful with AJ, even if she seems to be a tough cookie. She’s still a girl, and he will be responsible for her, so don’t worry, Adi! Clasping, and rubbing his hands, he bent down just a little to talk to his partner. “Alright, Champ. How about you go first so I can plan our next attack?” Because, yes, he’s serious about getting those pins down and win this game!
Ethan put on his shirt without question and AJ took this as his acceptance of team gold. It really was the best color when you thought about it. You had to let everybody know who the winners were. What better way?
WHOA! AJ's eyes lit up when Moxley went over the rules. This was going to be fan-freaking-tastic. Even if they didn't technically win - and that better not be the case - they would still be winners. Because how could they not be when they got to be a human bowling ball? This was winning at life.
AJ leaned in to him while he bent down to talk to her because this was official team gold business, and others needed to butt out. Trying to creep on their attack methods was not cool. Not that anybody was even paying attention to them. Ahem.
When he said for her to go first, she totally took it as him saying that she could be the ball first. That was the best part of the whole game if you asked her. Without further ado, she climbed into the ball. "Help a girl out." Zip her up, and all that other stuff. "Go super fast, and I will make sure those pins don't stand a chance."

Anyway.
"Suuuure you can be the ball." Honestly he could be for the whole time as far as she was concerned. Too bad it wasn't allowed; she didn't want to get into trouble. Oh well. Paulina shrugged it off as she went to help her partner into the ball that he had rolled over. "You all set now?" She wasn't going to push him until he was ready because she didn't think that would be very nice.
Wait he was actually gonna get to go first? Just like that? It would have taken him at least another ten minutes to convince his little sister. This was a total win right here.
Eagerly Blaise accepted the help and fit himself into the ball. It was a struggle not to simply bounce around inside but somehow he managed long enough for her to ask him if he was ready. Well. If he wasn't he would just have to deal with it another time because right now whether his footing was right or not or he learned to steer this thing or not, the kid was ready to be shoved down the lane.
"Yup yup yup! Gimme your hardest push!"
HE WAS SO READY FOR THIS and actually hoped his quill was taking notes because this would make for an epic story later depending on how it was written.
Push away!

At this point, Phillip was practically beaming. Why? Because Gwen had understood the joke and was rolling -- AHAHAHAHAHA -- with it! COOL. "Let's roll, indeed," he said before opening the, uh, DOOR? WAS it a door? Whatever it was, it was an opening into the giant inflatable ball and he opened that up for the girl to clamber through.
Merlin, this girl talked a lot. Or was it all girls that did? See, Kat talked a lot as well and it was one of the reasons why he was constantly roooooooolling his eyes at her. He had a feeling that if Gwen met Kat, they wouldn't stop to breathe. Just blah blah blah! "Noted!" Nod.
At least the things Gwen was saying was actually INTERESTING. "REALLY? AMERICA? WOAH!" That was COOL! "Are you liking Hogwarts, then? Because I bet it's a LOT different to schools in America." Tell him MORE.

There was some kind of smile on her face so maybe she really was excited, even if it wasn't the biggest smile in the whole world it still counted for something. She put her hands up to give her partner a thumbs up just for luck, but was only halfway up when she was jolted forward and fell right on her face. Heh. Good thing it was a squishy ball and not a real bowling ball. With her face smushed to the front of the ball, she went round and round and round and round, not straight down the lane as she had before. The stumble at the beginning seemed to have directed her much further to the left than she should've been. Her attempt to lean to the right and get straight again wasn't working very well either, as each time she got close to the right position she was upsidedown all over again.
The end of the lane came much faster than she'd expected it to, and before she could pull herself much closer to the middle of the lane she was barreling over a single pin at the left, which fell sideways and knocked one other one down. Well. It wasn't exactly a strike but it was something, right? Hopefully Brooklyn wouldn't be too disappointed, especially because she'd just (kinda) smiled for the very first time.
The speed at which she’d begun pushing the ball had more been a competitive thing than it had been intended to bother Norah. At least, Brooklyn was going to say that if she was asked later. Anyone who had paid attention to her in nearly every lesson that involved competition should have believed that anyway. The only difference was that this wasn’t a House competition. And, to be honest, she didn’t really care if the Hufflepuff’s face had gotten smushed or whatever. She would have preferred knocking over more pins. As far as she’d been able to control it, they should have. She’d pushed straight, anyway. It wasn’t her fault Norah hadn’t been able to keep the ball going straight. At least they’d knocked a couple down. She didn’t have to accept a complete failure. She could try to be positive. There were still more turns left, after all.
Even if she really wasn’t looking forward to being in the ball. Of course, the ball had to return to the other end of the lane first, which meant she had to head down and retrieve it, whether or not Norah chose to get out before they rolled it back. she could stall, anyhow, taking her time in walking the distance between the foul line, where she’d stayed to watch it roll, and where it had come to a stop. However long she could manage to stay out of said ball, she was going to try and do so. Although she was already planning on how she’d do better than Norah did if and when she did get inside. There had to be a way. Other teams had knocked over more than two, so they had to do better.

The small alternation of the game was unexpected but it added so much fun to the actual game. He was pumped!v He quickly put a shirt on and was ready. Almost.
Now he only needed a partner.
Look a fellow older Ravenclaw needed a partner. He was certain he saw her around in the common room but never caught her name. The first-year cleared his throat as he approached the seventh-year. He needed to be his charming self when offering his partnership. "I can be your partner," Pause, "If you'd like, you don't have to." Maybe she had doubts since he was smaller than her,"Don't worry, I can push you down the lane easily, since you're gonna be a ball. Err... I mean inside a ball," Maybe he should stop talking now.
Evie was almost worried that all her classmates had been taken and she wasn't going to find a partner. Luckily, a little first year boy volunteered. She didn't know how much momentum he'd be able to use to push her, but Evie would take it. She was in for the ride, not necessarily the points or the winning.
"No, I'll take ya," she said, giving the boy a smile. "I'll go in first." Because it sounded wicked fun. Evie climbed into the inflatable ball as quickly as she could, since everyone else seemed to have started already. "Zip me up!" She called from the inside. She was ready to go!

His question seemed redundant as he took in his friend better. Benny reached to grab hold of Adi as he fell only for the Hufflepuff to slip from his grasp with the movement. "You....you do that," he relented, watching his partner trying to regroup on the floor at his feet.
Eventually Adi appeared back in the groove and up on his feet, the badger rip-raring to roll him down the lane again like nothing had happened. "If you say so..." What if he wound up crashing and burning this time around? Unfortunately it didn't seem like there was much choice as he was once more zipped into the inflatable ball once he had stepped inside.
Here's to not dying.
There was clearly a bit for speed and push and he felt it whole-heartedly, ending with a final plough into the pins. So much so that all 6 pins were effected, the very last one wobbling until it too fell.
At this point, Phillip was practically beaming. Why? Because Gwen had understood the joke and was rolling -- AHAHAHAHAHA -- with it! COOL. "Let's roll, indeed," he said before opening the, uh, DOOR? WAS it a door? Whatever it was, it was an opening into the giant inflatable ball and he opened that up for the girl to clamber through.

At least the things Gwen was saying was actually INTERESTING. "REALLY? AMERICA? WOAH!" That was COOL! "Are you liking Hogwarts, then? Because I bet it's a LOT different to schools in America." Tell him MORE.
And cue more beaming. "Thanks, Gwen!"
"Well, in America there is a lot more Muggle technology. They were better at finding ways to use that. But in my opinion it kind of took away from the magic of our school, and of our world. Although I was shocked when I went to Gringotts and saw the goblins instead of ATM's--machines that give you your money. I mean, of course I knew all about the goblins, I was just surprised to see one in real life."
Gwen clambered into the ball with a goofy grin on her face. She was so happy that she had met the first potential friend. So what if her nerves made her talk too fast and too much? Maybe she could overcome that, and if not, well, that was okay too. Phillip gave her a push, and she was rolling down the lane. "Whee!" She yelled, centering herself to meet the pins.

Paulina patiently waited for Blaise to be ready to go. Once he was, she gave a nod then braced herself to push him along the lane. It shouldn't be too difficult because he was rather small, but she needed to get enough momentum going while making sure not to cross the foul line.
"Alright, here we go..."
Getting into position, she began rolling the ball towards the lane, building up speed and keeping her eye out for the foul line. When she was juuuuuuust on the verge of hitting it, she let go.

Woah!
Benny got ALL six knocked down this time! STRIKEEEEE!
"Go, Benny!'' Cue the fist pump in the air!
And now it was his turn to be the ball again. "You'll be there for me again, right, floor?'' he whispered to the lane as he walked down it to go help Benny out of the spherical thing. Just to be sure his buddy didn't meet the same fate as him, Adi gripped his arm as he helped him out.
"Not going to kiss the floor like I did, are you?'' he joked, squinting at his friend to make sure he didn't detect dizziness or anything. After making sure that yet again, his friend wasn't about to fall over, Adi climbed into the ball.
"Let's see how this round goes for me.'' With a wink, he waited for Benny to zip the thing up and get him rolling. After a while, off he went! This time Adi squeezed his eyes shut from the beginning. Not going to look around this time. Nope.
When the impending crash into the pins came, that's when Adi opened his eyes. How many pins had they knocked over? One, two! Cool! Not bad! That totaled them to... 13? Yeah, he thought so.

With a laugh and a final ZIP!, Reagan sealed Dot into their ball. Also, she'd grabbed an air pump, as well, making sure they wouldn't go flat down the lane. Nah, Rea didn't care TOO much about winning, but her teammate seemed super keen on the idea. Sooooo, she'd try hard to make the redhead proud!
...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.

"Nice to meet you too Colt", Janelle replied. "Oh good", she thought. Her partner had bowled before and so had she. Well they had that going for them. Janelle was starting to think that they might be hard to beat in this bowling contest.
Colt surveyed the bowling shirt choices and Janelle nodded in agreement when he picked the blue one. Blue just happened to be her favorite color. She really didn't care what color Colt chose, but he definitely got bonus points for picking the blue one. "Good choice", Janelle said approvingly. She began to laugh when Colt went all male model on her and tried on the shirt. "Oh yes daaahling, you look simply maaaahvelous." Taking her shirt, she put it on just in time because Professor Moxley began to explain what they would be doing.
Janelle stared blankly when she heard the instructions. Muggle Studies professor say whaaat? Human bowling? Well their advanage just went out the window. The though of being zipped up inside a bowling ball did not exactly appeal to Janelle, but she was going to give it a try. Did she really have a choice?
Looiking at her partner, Janelle said, "This is not exactly what I was expecting" Managing a smile she added, "It should be fun though, right?" At least she hoped it would be. Janelle started walking toward the nearest lane. "So what would you like to be first, the pusher or the pushee?" While Colt was deciding, she tried to get herself menatally prepared for her first try at human bowling.
"Oh you think so?" he smiled and began to pose again. He was glad he picked a color she likes. Bonus points for him. He heard they were gonna do human bowling? WICKED! He was excited for this. It seemed like Janelle wasn't from the look on her face. He smiled widely and was always up for a challenge. "Yeah it should be fun! I am looking forward to this." He heard her suggestion and said, "Oh I would like to be the one in the bowling ball. I wanna knock some pins down if you don't mind." Well of course they were gonna switch roles so it didn't matter.
The speed at which she’d begun pushing the ball had more been a competitive thing than it had been intended to bother Norah. At least, Brooklyn was going to say that if she was asked later. Anyone who had paid attention to her in nearly every lesson that involved competition should have believed that anyway. The only difference was that this wasn’t a House competition. And, to be honest, she didn’t really care if the Hufflepuff’s face had gotten smushed or whatever. She would have preferred knocking over more pins. As far as she’d been able to control it, they should have. She’d pushed straight, anyway. It wasn’t her fault Norah hadn’t been able to keep the ball going straight. At least they’d knocked a couple down. She didn’t have to accept a complete failure. She could try to be positive. There were still more turns left, after all.
Even if she really wasn’t looking forward to being in the ball. Of course, the ball had to return to the other end of the lane first, which meant she had to head down and retrieve it, whether or not Norah chose to get out before they rolled it back. she could stall, anyhow, taking her time in walking the distance between the foul line, where she’d stayed to watch it roll, and where it had come to a stop. However long she could manage to stay out of said ball, she was going to try and do so. Although she was already planning on how she’d do better than Norah did if and when she did get inside. There had to be a way. Other teams had knocked over more than two, so they had to do better.
Norah watched Brooklyn make her way over. She sure was moving SLOWLY, did she know? She was starting to get awfully fidgety just sitting there in the ball, not even bothering to wiggle before she tugged the zipper into movement. She pushed it open from the inside (which was a whole lot harder than unzipping from the outside, in case you were wondering, but she was going to EXPLODE if she stayed in there any longer), and climbed out, looking down to check that her prefect's badge was still there, more out of habit than anything else. Professor Moxley would probably never trust her ever again if she lost it, even if it was in her class.
"I can just push it over there." Y'know, if she didn't want to walk all the way over for no apparent reason. Even if they'd only knocked over two pins she was still capable of some things. Pushing things. She could do that. Norah rolled the ball all the way back to in front of the foul line and set it so the opening was right where Brooklyn could climb in. Was she excited or WHAT? "Good luck! I'll wait till you tell me you're ready to push you down."

Kate fished out a cyan shirt in her size and put it on over her current shirt. She was about to ask Cal if he knew what they were supposed to do next, when the professor spoke up and explained that very thing.
Human bowling?! "Oh, this sounds cool!" she said to Cal, hoping he shared her excitement. She quickly gestured for Cal to follow her as she joined the line already forming. She was ready to get up there NOW, not later! Yes. Kate Addison was a little ball of excitement right about now. Hee hee.
Finally, they were up, and Kate realized they still hadn't decided who would be the ball and who would push first. "Hmm...I'll push first, if that's okay," she told him. She looked toward Cal and then toward the ball. Once he was in, she'd zip him up and send him on down the lane.
The boy coughed a little after introducing himself. Never figured why he had trouble with C's and S's and the like. Which sucked because that was basically his whole name.
Human bowling. He wasn't as excited as Kate seemed to be, but tossing people around seemed like fun. Muggles might be not as boring as he thought. He followed behind her like a little lost puppy, but a hardcore lost puppy.
He cocked an eyebrow at her when she suggested he go in the ball first. Was it because he was small? Huh? HUH?!
...fine, he'll go in first. Just because she was pretty and all.
He squeezed into the gigantic plastic ball, struggling to maintain his balance. "Don't I get a helmet or something?"

...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.
Henric was being a gentleman about everything and started to show llia how bowling should be played. He picked up a bowling ball that wasn't as heavy like his and gave it to his bestfriend."Here, this bowling ball shouldn't be too heavy for you, if you think it is...just tell me, I'll go get another one for you." He smiled.
He offered to go on first."The ones I usually played is that we get two tries in order to knock the pins down.See the arrows on top of this boundary line here...."he pointed at the start of their lane."Use this to your advantage when you throw your ball, this allows you to carefully aim."Yup no secrets there."It's okay we get gutter balls,llia...just have fun!"he said,encouraging her.
"Alright here I go!" He threw the ball and watched it rolled fast towards the pins.Loud sounds of a couple of pins being knocked down was heard from their lane and he couldn't help feel proud that he managed to hit almost all of it but one.Woots!! Progress initiated!

Nope, there was ZERO disappointment here. Reagan was too busy bouncing up and down and CLAPPING HER HEART OUT to feel any sads over the two-pin loss. Hey, they were still doing AMAZINGLY, okay? TEN POINTS? That wasn't anything to sneeze at!
...and much like Dottie had done before, Reagan helped her teammate back up the lane and then out of the huge ball; only to climb in herself. She was so terribly excited to go again...that she didn't have any words. JUST ANIMATED EXPRESSIONS.
Good vibes!
In preparation, she began humming to herself...hoping to calm her nerves. It hardly worked and Rea buried her mouth down in the soft pink material of her bowling shirt, squeaking like a baby pig. This one was excitable, okay? Nothing to be done about it.
SHE WAS READY!

They seemed to have really gotten down the pattern, even if it was just developing, because Dot was up and out of the ball as soon as Rea unzipped her, and then they were moving it into position and lining up again.
As Rea had done, Dot reinflated the ball once her teammate was safely inside, and then she did her full body line up thing. Rea was SO excited and excitable about the whole process, and it made Dot feel excited too. What if they won? Wouldn't that actually be amazing?
"Here we go!" Dot launched herself at the ball and rolled it straight from the top of the lane, stopping in plenty of time behind the line this time. No falling over required.

Mmhm, Reagan knew this was going to be a fun lesson. She'd felt it deep down in her bones from the word GO!...and Dot had been just a joy to work with; very kind and lovely. Did she know how lovely she was? Rea planned to inform her after class finished...whenever that was.
...which she'd hoped wasn't anytime soon. She was having TOO MUCH FUN.
After getting topped off with the air pump and firmly ZIPPED! Rea knew the impact from Dottie was coming. So, she braced herself; eyes clenched once more as she started rolling towards the pins. And she wasn't sure why that had been a gut-reaction; closing her eyes...but soon after, both eyes were WIDE OPEN again; widely searching around. Reagan liked to think yoga helped with the vertigo somewhat, as she'd bent herself into positions with her head towards the ground; blood rushing there. Oooor maybe she was just different in that the spinning didn't bother her nearly as much. It was hard to say.
AHHH! The pins were approaching once more...She could just make out the white blurs through the plastic of her cushy ball. Dot had lined them up pretty well...and Rea had hoped to use her previous technique to earn them ANOTHER strike.
Unfortunately...it just wasn't meant to be...
Rocking their ball just a little bit TOO much, Reagan managed to topple FOUR PINS...before rolling herself past the lane into other areas. YELLING and flailing a bit, she shouted for help!
...giggling all the while...because THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN. HAHAHAHA.
