Dribble or Drop

[Ripple]

After she was able to gain her strength and air back, Lian got herself ready for another eventful game of basketball. She was pretty good at shooting but Sky was the player with skills. She could dodge and beat Lian definitely. However together they were always a great team. She took off the sweatshirt she wore, knowing that she would remove it from warmth of playing.

Placing her right foot on the basketball, Lian placed her hand on her hips and waited for the rest of the group to get there. Sky, Gavin and Ricki were going to come, it was practically a ritual. "Let's go fat asses get a move on. I'm turning 50 already!!" She smirked and then tied her hair up with a thick headband. Her thick Asian hair was always in the way and she really was thinking of cutting it again.

[Decay]

"I'll wait a little longer then so I can throw your ass in a nursing home!" Sky yelled pulling off her sweatshirt and tossing it on the ground. Underneath she wore her short sleeve Happy Bunny shirt that said 'you're ugly and thats funny.' Basketball was her sport, among others. She played basketball and football with her brothers all the time and she totally kicked their ass in basketball, even her older brother who was a college basketball star. She was quick and knew most of the moves people made and the ways to get them in her favor. Plus she could jump pretty high.

"Alright losers," she said and sneaked up behind Lian, kicking the ball from under her foot and grabbing it. Sky dribbled the ball down the court and did a perfect three pointer shot. "Let's get a game going. And no powers. Gavin, if you fly the ball across the court again, I'm kicking your ass. Teams is whoever wants to play with who. All I know is I'm gonna kick your butts so hard you grankids will feel it," she said with a laugh and dribbled the ball, just daring someone to steal it from her.

[Taffy]

"That explains the wrinkles on your face Lee." Ricki called out, her voice playful as she took off her hoodie and chucked it by the fense, to reveal her plain red tank top which matched quite well with her black just above knee length combat-style shorts. She pulled her usually messy hair up into a high ponytail. Ricki jumped on the spot for a couple of seconds, letting her legs get used to the cold-ish air. Meh, decent weather... though damn my legs are cold! Should've worn trousers. Ricki sighed, shaking her head as she started running in, closer towards the others.

Woah, good shot... Ricki approved mentally, before watching Sky dribble the ball again, daring someone else to come take it off her. Even though Ricki wasn't all that fast, she had some decent moves and she was quite flexible."You guys are lucky enough you can at least think about using your powers." Ricki yelled as she ran opposite Sky, her eyes on the ball that was bouncing up and down. "I try to use my powers, and you'll probably see me in my bra and underwear." Ricki rolled her eyes, as she bent down into a crouch like position, moving in sync with Sky.

C'mon Ricki, get the goddamn ball... she launched her hands forward, reaching out for the ball just before it made contact with the ground, before she bounced it in between her legs, turning around in time to get the ball. She flashed Sky a grin before starting to dribble towards the other end of the court.

[StormHawk]

Gavin was staring at the girls in the pool with a big smile on his face while pulling off his shirt. There was still a wind in the air but the sun was making it warm, plus most of the time they played skin vs. shirts. "Man I love the pool. Seriously all the girls should be required to go swimming on a daily basis and dress like that," he said with a big grin still looking at Veronika and Heather in their bikinis. Why are all the chicks that are best friends so damn hot together? You got Veronika and Heather, Niki and Aideen, is this like a planned thing or something? he thought with a shake of his head.

A wicked grin came on his face as he moved around Sky to grab a volleyball. Gavin squinted his eyes and aimed. "HEATHER!" he yelled and then threw the without all that much force and hit her square in the back. "HIII!" he yelled waving his hands and then doubled over in laughter. Her in a bikini and getting all pissed. That's hilarious and hot all at the same time, he thought still laughing and walking past Ricki, grabbing the ball from her while he still laughed.

Gavin shook his wings and flew up, putting the ball in the basket. "Lighten up Sky, we're mutants. Let's play a mutant game and make it more interesting. Besides its not like we're playing football, which would make some serious damage if powers were used. I say we play with powers," he said with a smirk and stayed in the air with the ball in his hands.

[Riff~Raff]

"Aye, I gotta agree with Gavin, lets make it a bit more interesting here," Riker said coming up to the court at a run and jumping up high just barely managing to grab the ball from Gavin's hands. His jump was pretty high now as were other abilities that brought him closer to the wolf within him. He dribbled the ball down the court and shot the ball from half court easily.

Riker let someone else get the ball and eyed Sky and Lian. "You two are bloody ruthless. I'm joinin' up with Gavin so we can survive. And I totally say powers allowed. Can't really help mine anyways," he said with a grin and then took off his own shirt since Gavin was playing skins. Being a wolf, Riker had a natural muscle tone to his lean build that suited him well. He had slightly above average strength that he cultivated with the constant workouts.

"I be on Gavin's team, since you two are stickin' to the hip as usual. Ricki, ya wanna join us? Ya bette' have a sport bra thingy on cause we be skins. Course, if ya don't whateve' ya have under is fine too," Riker said with a wink.

[FreezeFrame]

Stopping the ball in mid air just before it hit the backboard to drop in Chase said "Powers works for me!" and with a jump he snagged the ball from it's freeze-framed position to deny Riker's basket. "So then that makes it three on three? Should we start or wait for more?" he asked dribbling over to stand by 'his girls' Ripple and Decay.

"I think you three are gonna get smeared all over this court, we gonna make any wagers on this?" Chase liked to make things more interesting. He always paid his gambling debts, but that was rare as he never seemed to lose, especially as his power came in quite handy for things like pool and basketball, and anything involving a moving object.

[Ripple]

"Pssh the teams are done, the rest can wait," Lian responded immediately. She then used her molecular telekinesis, making the ball escape Chase's hands. With a smirk, she grabbed the ball and began to dribble it herself. "Powers work for me," she said looking to her team. "Sky," she whispered. "If they play unfair, think you can have another accident?" she whispered. It was to Lian's understanding that Sky could simply have the ball disintegrate if the other team seemed to be winning.

Looking back to Chase she nodded. "I put down ten bucks that we are first to 21," she replied. When they played basketball it was just like back on the streets. In California, Lian would go to Venice Beach and watch all the kids play wicked ball. Talk about blood and battles.

[Taffy]

At Gavin's comment Ricki would've opened her mouth to go all; Urg Gavin, seriously... it wont be fair. I mean It wont be fair on Sky! Pausing the game every two seconds just will not be amusing, but she'd decided to keep her silence due to the enterance of new players and everyone agreeing to the powers. Ricki sighed, personally she didn't want to use her powers, incase she got carried away and ended up ripping her trousers or something. That would just be... uh embarrasing. But knowing Ricki, she usually tended to go with the flow - especially when in teams and it was obvious she was gonna be over-rulled.

"My tank top will probably be in shreds by the end of the game anyway," she mumbled, directing her response towards Riker, her dissapointment obvious in her voice, "So may as well start stripping." she rolled her eyes, before pulling her top off and chucking it by her jumper, to reveal her black sporta bra with a white outine. Ricki wasn't all that uncomfertable moving around in her sports bra, seeing back in Florida, that's how they played basketball in the school grounds at lunch time. Guys shirtless - Girls in their sports bra, or tank tops. It got hot - so no one really seemed to care or mind too much. Plus everyone here was used to seeing her in her sports bra - the amount of times her t-shirt had ripped up while playing basketball was probably countless by now.

"You're on Lee. Ten it is." Ricki grinned at Lian, before rotating her right shoulder blade slightly, her eyes focusing on the ball bouncing in Lians hand. Her mind and muscle worked in sync, her right arm streched forwards, dodging its way towards the ball, before she grabbed the ball from mid air, pulling her hand back,- that was one of the things that she'd been able to master. Streching her arms to a close enough desired destination, and pulling it back. She yet needed to master the arts on how she could strech her legs and the rest of her body, and shape it. Shaping stuff was cool.

Once the ball was safely in her custody she bounced it twice, "Gavin!" she yelled, before throwing the ball towards her fellow team mate. She'd thought it'd be safest it pass it to Gavin, seeing he could just fly across the court, and chuck the ball through the hoop.

[FreezeFrame]

Chase saw the game starting and as Ricki had made the wager he knew he had to secure his drinking buddy Lian's cash. With a thought he froze the ball a mid pass catching everyone flatfooted and said "Game ON!" as he leapt to snare the frozen basketball and dribbled it down for a slam dunk.

"That's two!" he said and left the ball to bounce as he back peddled to get on defense again quickly. He had seen the speed of the New Mutant wolf guy and he knew he would have little chance to outrun him, so he was ready to swipe the ball the next time he could. "Sky! Lian! D up!"

[Decay]

Sky ran to cover Riker, trying to catch up with him. She used her feminine charms to get his attention, shimmying her baggy sweats down a bit to show the straps of her underwear. "Hey Riker, look Victoria's Secrets New line!" she shouted to get his attention, winking at him. They messed around a lot over the past couple of months, both of them taking bathroom breaks in classes and meeting up in unused classrooms to make out was almost a routine at this point, though it was all purely non-committal. Both of them messed around with others and didn't limit themselves to just each other, but they sure had fun together.

It was easy enough to get both the guys attention with her little stunt and she waited for Lian or Chase to do their thing. "Heather you're getting the court wet!" she shouted with a laugh at the water manipulator who came to yell at Gavin for being an adorable asshole again. "And Ricki, for the last time her name is LIAN! I know she kinda looks like Jet Li, cause let's face it they all look alike, but she ain't him. LIAN, Ricki, say it with me," Sky said and nodded to Lian to try and steal the ball.

[StormHawk]

"Fine Chase, we can play it like- Damn!" Gavin said with a laugh when the ball Heather threw and hit his chest. "Aw don't be like Heather, I just wanted attention. You've been neglecting me and that was a cry for attention. You failed psychology didn't you?" he said with a grin and flew quickly to grab the ball. Since Sky had Riker's attention with her hot little show, he took it upon himself to fly the ball right into the basket, letting it drop in and blocking the ball from view so Lian or Chase couldn't manipulate it somehow.

A wicked idea came to Gavin's head as he still looked at Heather, looking pretty hot in her bikini and adorable as hell. He loved bothering her cause it was just so damn funny. "Hey here's a new play for you. I'll show you how to do a 10 point shot." With that, Gavin shot down toward Heather, scooping her up in his arms carefully cause he didn't want to drop her or anything. Just as quickly, Gavin flew her dripping body to the basket and sat her right inside the basket with her butt sinking into the hoop and flew away from her.

"AHAHHAHA TEN POINTS FOR MY TEAM!" Gavin shouted and began laughing hard while still in the air, clutching his stomach at how adorable and funny and kinda hot she looked stuck in the hoop, dripping wet and in a bikini. Gavin barely kept himself in the air as he cracked up, taking a picture with his mind.

[Aqua]

Crossing her arms in disgust, Heather pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes. "Get... over... here... NOW," she said through gritted teeth. Even though she was use to this, Gavin still had a way to push her buttons. He was a professional, and had much pride in his talent; that much was clear. But when it came to getting the boy back, Heather was pretty much at a disadvantage. The only thing she could think of was shooting ice pellets directly to his chest or something like that. She never really hurt him badly since his wings were sensitive to water and ice. They were best friends, and picking on each other was enough, not physically damaging the other.

She finally got what she wanted, and Gavin definitely came down to her. However he picked her up right away and she screamed her head off. "OHMYGODGAVINPUTMEDOWNNOWOHMYGODOHMYGOD!!!" she yelled. Finally when he did, Heather attempted to grab his arms or something to make sure she didn't fall through the basketball hoop. She was beyond humiliated and wanted to really hurt the Acolyte. This was worse than him leaving her in the tree or on the roof; at least then no one was around to laugh at her. I will get you back so bad Gavin Croft, she thought sinisterly.

Through the laughs and pointed fingers she expected to get, Heather held on to the hoop tightly with her hands. She was slowly slipping since she was soaked and being that high up with nothing to fall on, made her more afraid than she needed to be. "GAVIN GET ME THE freak DOWN!!" she said. Heather rarely cursed, and when she did it was for was she believed to be a good reason. She wasn't a goody goody or anything like that, just cursing all the time wasn't her thing. Sky and Lian usually enjoyed throwing curse words around and had mouths like sailors. But Heather still liked them; the two were always fun to be around with.

She began to slip even more for her grip on the hoop was decreasing. "OH MY GOD GAVIN PLEASE!" she said almost whimpering. Heather was truly afraid at this point and just wanted to get down... and then kick Gavin's ass right after.

[Taffy]

"I refuse to call her anything but Lee! Lee Lee LEE! Whats wrong with Lee anyway? I mean, it's cute!" Ricki yelled at Sky her eyes narrowing playfully, mock 'huffiness' in her voice. She shifted her gaze to look at Heather who was dripping wet, with that 'adorable angry' face that Gavin loved ever so much. I swear that guy has it in for her big time. Sigh, It'd be adorable though... Gavin and Heather. I mean, look at the two, they are soo cute... toget- WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM!? Ricki's eyes winded, as a mixture of humour and anxiety flooded into her mind. Oh my god that is funny... but dammit she's terrified!

Urg, Poor Heather! Should I strech out and pull her down...? I mean, I know Gavin'll catch her... but urg, sod him, he'll probably have her in a hospital bed soon enough 'cause of his amusement. Okay i'll probably need both my hands, or I wont be able to carry her. Ricki stopped herself rolling her eyes, before she streched out both her arms, aiming it towards Aqua, she moved forwards a bit, not wanting to strech her muscles too much, in case it got out of control and she ended up hurting the water bender. Ricki wrapped both her arms thrice around Heather's stomach, making sure she had a good grip. "Let go Heather! I've gotcha." she called out, before slowly letting the water bender down, and releasing her.

"Sorry If I killed your stomach, but on the brighter side - you can now kick Gavin's butt." Ricki muttered with a roll of her eyes, her lips streching into a smile.

[Ripple]

"Hey Laffy Taffy," Lian said as Sky made sure her name was being pronounced correctly. "Seriously, do I look like some tall skinny white dude that masturbates to children? Lee is a pedophile name." With that, she walked over to Sky and slapped the back of her head like Gibbs from NCIS (one of her favorite shows). "Shut up Paris."

Lian was able to see the volleyball hit Heather, making Lian laugh out loud and then shake her head. "Gavin get a damn freaking room already," she said to the winged mutant. "Seriously the two of you are in love." It wasn't until Heather came, that Lian's laughter increased to a roar. Seeing Heather in a basketball hoop was more than enough to make her sides hurt. Lian was on the floor, literally rolling back and forth. "Oh my GOD........ AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

[Riff~Raff]

"Uhh... aye. They are rather nice Sky," Riker said completely forgetting his chase for the ball to turn his attention to the tall thin blond that was giving him a lovely peak. "Very nice actually," he said with a smirk, his hands playing on his hips. They had a lot of fun on their twenty minute bathroom breaks. He'd be in history class and she would have science on some days and both would meet in the empty drama class and make good use of it.

His fingers snapped the straps of her underwear and Riker grinned wolfishly at hers. "Actually I don't like them that much, take em'-" Riker was cut off by Heather screaming at Gavin again. He stopped everything to crack up at the two of them. "Lian's right ya do need a bloody room. Or at least to have it already. Tis getting ridiculous," he said through laughs, which only increased when Heather ended up in the basketball hoop.

"Bloody hell! AHHAHaa," Riker cracked up and held on to sky to keep him upright, from between her screaming and her frustrated look that just made her look seriously hot with the bikini and all. "Oh man, Gavin lad ya put yourself in the doghouse wit' that one. Ya won't even find me there," he said with a laugh.
