Wanted: Tennis Match

[xp_olaris]

Does anyone play tennis?

Anyone? Ali? Alex? Bueller?

My mom just send me my racket and I'd like to see how awful I am.

Er...

*hides*

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Aha! There you are!

Come on, you're probably a great tennis player, right?

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

I had a very traumatic childhood experience with tennis.

I'm sure I'd be horrible at it.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

I don't believe you. You have to face your fears. You should play tennis with me for your own good.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Doubles? You two versus me? Or one of me on each side, or whatever?

Once I get the hang of it, anyway.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me. Just have to convince Ali.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

...

You have got to be kiddi- Nu huh. I mean... it'd just scar me for life! It'd be a horrible thing to do to your favorite roomie. Honest!

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

You're my only roomie.

Besides, it's only tennis. You got up on horseback and that's much worse.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

You're my only roomie.

That's right! So you should be careful with that only roomie you've got!

Besides, it's only tennis. You got up on horseback and that's much worse.

No it's not! I can bribe the horses. That's a very important point.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

I'm sure I can get more. And if not, oh well, I can always use an office.

You fell off the horse! What part of the bribery was that?

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Woe. My roomie wants to get rid of me to turn my room in an office. Name a stapler after me, will you?

You fell off the horse! What part of the bribery was that?

Oh, that was all my fault. Just ask the horse.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Sure, I'll even get a companion stapler remover and name it Sam.

You will play tennis with me. *nods firmly*

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

*mournful look*

You're evil.

I'm going to start running now.

*runs for it*

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

I'm evil, she says.

Excuse me, kettle? This is the pot, you're black!

I've gone along with plenty of your hare-brained schemes, you owe me!

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

I am not a kettle.

*huff*

I've gone along with plenty of your hare-brained schemes, you owe me!

*shifty look*

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

*raises an eyebrow* Yes?

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

You already have so many willing victims students!

Why me? You don't need me!

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

It'll be fun? C'mon, you can be on Lorna's team and kick my butt.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

...

No, see... my and tennis rackets? Not good. Not good at all.

*shudders*

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

This is starting to sound a lot like Ev and Muppets.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Sure, I do. Because I said so.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

You're just picking on me. For kicks.

Aren't you.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Well....


only a little bit.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Knew it.

*grin*

Fun, innit?

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Immensely.

But you're still going to play tennis with me.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

I know.

I just intend to put up a good fight first. Wouldn't do to give in and ruin your fun, would it? ;)

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Of course not. That's why you're the bestest roomie ever.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Aw! So sweet!

...

*makes a run for it*

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

*grins evilly and gives chase, because some things are traditional*

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

I'll play.

I've never played tennis before, so I'm probably worse than you, but it sounds fun. :)

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Hurray! There are some spare rackets in the equipment shed.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Cool. :) And don't worry too much about me being bad, I figured out how to hit a baseball pretty quickly and a tennis racket is a lot wider, so I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Super easy *grins innocently*

[x-havok.livejournal.com]

Maybe while you are teaching Jamie, you could teach me too? I've never played tennis, but it looks like fun...

[x-piotr.livejournal.com]

I have not played it before either but I have seen it on tv. It looks like a lot of fun!

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Come join us then! It looks like I'll be teaching an impromptu tennis lesson for half the school at this point!

[x-piotr.livejournal.com]

OK Lorna, thank you. :)

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Certainly, darling. Everyone is welcome to benefit from my ill-spent youth.
