CHAPTER 8
Ellie, Mal, and Evie are all in the bleachers beside Lonnie as they watch the game.
"Ohayohay!" The cheerleaders cheer.
"This is a nail-biter, folks. There's 47 seconds left on the clock. We're all tied up. The Sherwood falcons, two. The fighting knights, two. What a game between Auradon's fiercest rivals," The announcer says. "The teams get into their huddles and take up positions along the kill zone. The dragoneers have been laying down a withering hail of fire." Ellie, Mal, and Evie cheer as they see Jay and Carlos run onto the field.
"He's bringing that hothead Jay in from the Isle Of The Lost and that little guy Carlos who can barely hold a shield," The announcer explains. "When they break from their huddles, this is gonna be a big moment here. And the tipoff is ready. Here we go. Long pass goes to Jay. Jay dishes off to Prince Ben. Nice little block by Carlos. He does a little dancing jig in his opponent's face. And now Jay gets the ball back. Here comes Jay! Jay, hurdling maneuver at mid-field. Jay makes a nice pass to Prince Ben through the kill zone. Big block by Chad! Prince Ben moves over wide, gives it back to Jay. He's in the clear! Shot! Oh, what a save by Philip the falcons' goalkeeper!" Ellie and Evie grab hands through all of the suspenseful parts. "23 seconds left. You could cut the tension with a sword. The long ball is played into Jay. Jay, great jump, great leap. And a great move by Jay. Big block from Chad. Jay dishes off to Prince Ben. And then Carlos with a big block, goes down. Jay through the kill zone, picks up Carlos. Oh, he's being hammered by dragon fire. Still, going on. Jay, hurdling maneuver at mid-field. He's in the clear. The ball goes back to Jay." Ellie and Evie grab onto each other as they watch Jay hit the ball off of Carlos' shield before getting the ball back. "He passes to Prince Ben. He scores! Prince Ben has won it!" Ellie, Lonnie, and Evie let out squeals of joy causing Mal to cover her ears and roll her eyes. "What an unselfish play by Jay! What a team! Incredible! And It's the new guys, Jay and Carlos, who set up the Prince for the win here. What a victory! An absolutely wonderful end to one of the best games ever. Here they come, folks. The winners of the first tourn..." Ben quickly grabs the microphone without thinking. His only thoughts are on Ellie.
"Excuse me. Excuse me. Can I have your attention, please?" Ben says causing the crowd to go silent. Mal, Ellie, and Evie look at each other shocked. "There's something I'd like to say. Give me an 'E'!"
"'E'" The crows repeats.
"Give me an 'L'," Ben says while making an L.
"'L'" The crowd repeats.
"Give me another 'L'!" Ben says while making another L.
