Kanon

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. We welcome you to another beautiful morning in our backyard." Triton exclaimed excitedly from his spot on the grass.

Lacey giggled from beside him.

The kids were settled in a wide-open field hidden in the forest behind their home. It was the kid's secret spot. The grass on the field were a luscious burnt orange.

"Today, we are about to witness an epic game of Kanon." Triton continued then looked over at the rest of the gain who were gathered along the field. "On team 1, we have Queen as captain, Rockie, Maya, and K.O. On team 2, we have captain Danny, Champion and Daisy." That wasn't right. "Wait! You guys don't have enough players."

The kids looked around to realize that he was right. Team 2 was short one. They then stared over at Belle, who was sitting oh so peacefully on the grass reading a tattered manuscript.

"Ey, Belle come play with us." Rockie exclaimed.

Belle just flipped to the next page and continued reading, "I'm busy."

"You're wack." Rockie spat back waving her off.

"Please play with us Belle." Daisy begged giving the water mage perfectly executed puppy dog eyes. The others joined in with encouragements of their own.

It did nothing but irritate Belle until she finally slammed the book shut. She glared up at the group.

"If it'll get you to shut up." Belle huffed out, finally conceding.

"Yayyy!" They all cheered.

Everyone got in place on the field.

"Alright," Triton started, standing between the two teams. "First half is feet; second half is hands. Timeout if someone is unable to move. First team to get 21 points win. And the rules, there are none. Mother nature will pick who start off."

They all paused as the atmosphere went calm. Then a breeze brushed towards team 1's direction.

"Alright. Team 1, you start. Have fun." He bounced off the field.

Maya stood off behind her teams' goal. She was the star hitter for the team. Her job was to get the ball as close to the Opp goal as possible, which she was good at.

"Dustin" Maya called and grabbed the gavel. She positioned it over her shoulder as she got ready.

On the other end, by team 2, was Triton standing behind a long canon. He yanked the string, and the canon went off.

Pow

Showtime. A yellow ball flew out heading for Maya quick. She squinted her eyes as the ball charged for her, then she swung out and hit it with all of her might and ran onto the field. The ball zoomed through the air so fast and hard that it caught fire.

Game time

On the field, Danny sprinted towards the ball as it neared their goal, with Queen hot on his heels. When the ball started descending, Danny lifted his arms up to catch it. Yet, it just went through his spread arms, but then it stopped midair. They weren't allowed to touch the ball with their hands, but he wasn't exactly touching the ball. Queen went to try to kick at the ball, only for Danny smirk and yank his arms down, causing his force to fling the ball towards Champion.

The fire mage jumped high then caught the ball between his ankles and landed. Maya went to guard him, but Champion faked like he was about to run head into her then shook around her. He ran towards the opposite end of the field then spotted Daisy open. He kicked her the ball, only for Rockie to slide across to steal it. Rockie ran around the grass mage, then skirted back up the field.

Champion shot for Rockie, yet Maya was persistent and succeeded in keeping Champion from interfering. Keeping on Rockie made it towards team 2 goal, then eyed Danny who was dashing for him. Queen suddenly ran up and tackled the mute to the ground.

Rockie sprinted on and gave Belle, team 2's goalie a smirk. He reared his foot back as it gathered electric energy and kicked the ball, sending it curving into the goal.

Team1: 4

Team2: 0

"Woohoo," Maya and Rockie cheered.

"Oh, we're only getting warmed up." Champion said with a smirk.

"That is okay, but we warm up just fine." Queen stated back with her own witty retort.

"You're up, team 2." Triton called out.

This time Champion was on the outskirts off behind team 2 goal.

The canon went off and rushed towards him. He jumped up, then round kicked the ball and sent it flying out.

The ball soared over their heads and straight for K.O guarding team 1's goal.

The blonde gritted his teeth then the air around him started to spin. The ball got caught in the whirl and was flung the opposite direction. Queen caught the ball and keep her stride kicking it up the field. Danny ran towards her attempting to swipe the ball, but Queen was too swift with the moves as she maneuvered around him. She kicked it over to Maya who quickly kicked it to Rockie and the kid once again scored.

Team1: 8

Team2: 0

"That's it kid!" Maya shouted, clapping Rockie's hand.

Danny looked over at Champion, and the fire mage could read his expression as the deaf boy started signing to him.

"Yeah, I got it." Champion agreed and they started the game up again.

Champion kicked the ball off again. This time before Queen could get it, a vine wrapped around her feet and tripped her to the ground.

"Thank you." Daisy chirped as she caught the ball and kicked it to Danny.

Danny caught it them kicked it up field. He approached Maya speeding for him, but he only sped up faster, then shook her up again. Rockie was right behind her attempting to steal the ball, but vines wrapped around his ankles too sending him to the ground. Noticing Champion had caught up, Danny kicked it to him.

Champion kicked the ball which caught on fire and flew passed K.O into the goal.

Team 1: 8

Team 2: 4

"Now, we're getting real." Champion chuckled, eying Rockie.

"Oh yeah," Rockie laughed, powering up his magic.

The game started up again. Maya hit the ball as hard as she could, and it was off in a blaze.

Rockie, Champion, and Queen headed for the ball ready to strike out the fire magic, yet he leaped high into the air and headbutted the ball. Danny caught the ball with his feet then ran towards the goal. Rockie let off an electric burst and zoomed at Danny.

Time seemed to slow down as Danny toed the ball high up and flipped into the air over Rockie. Still in the air, Danny kicked the ball and sent it spiraling through their goal.

Team 1: 8

Team 2: 8

The children played until it was half time, and then they used this time to catch their breaths and strategized. The score was now 16:12 with Team 1 in the lead. After this break, the next round will be hands where now instead of using their feet to score, they carried, threw, shot or ran the ball into the goals with their hands.

The teams switched sides, and they got ready to start back playing. Letting mother nature decide who kicks off first, Team 2 was chosen.

The canon went off and Champion kicked it off.

And the ball flew through the air.

The game ended with Team 2 winning with a score of 24.

Bedtime stories

Nara stepped into the boys' room and strutted over to Triton, who sat eagerly on his bed with a smile. Nara returned it.

"What story are we telling tonight, mama?" The boy asked in a giddy tone.

"Hmm, well," Nara replied taking a sit on his bed, "tonight we're going to read a tale of Three pigs." She said opening a book.

"Once upon a time, there were three little pigs," Nara started the tale as the young boy snuggled under his blanket. "The brothers were separated from their mom when they were young, so they grew up depending on one another to survive and grow strong. Now that the little pigs have grown, they must put the trust and love that they have for each other to a great test."

"Alright brothers," The eldest pig brother, Ricky started as he looked to his younger brothers. "We have grown now that I think it's time we have our own space."

"You want us to move?" The second pig brother Pretty Boy, squealed as he looked to Ricky. "Why would you want to that. I can't survive handsomely alone."

Champion, the youngest brother, added in. "Where would we go?"

"There is a lot of land around us. You two can build your own homes. We would still be near and still have our own privacy." Ricky said.

The two other brothers thought it over before they decided the idea actually wasn't bad. Where they stayed now was a little open cave. The pigs little pigs got to work as they started to plan and build their home. A week later and all of the little pigs had a home to call their own.

Champion chose the easy route to make his home out of straw. Pretty Boy decided to make his home out of sticks. Ricky worked hard on his home and decided to make it of stone.

One day, as the little pigs were enjoying a nice leisure day outdoors, a big wolf bad wolf strolled up the road.

"Oh no brothers! A wolf!" Ricky pig yelled and all three of the brothers ran into their respectful homes and locked their doors.

The wolf, Ivy, in all her menacing glory strolled and saw three houses. She let out a chuckle, eying the shacks and made her way to the house made of straws.

Once she reached the door, she beat on it growling, "Oh little pig little pig. Let me in."

"No way." Champion pig cried out from behind the door. "Not by the hair of my chinny-chin."

"Alright then. I guess I'll have to huff and puff this house down." Ivy said, then took a step back.

"You wouldn't," Champion shouted.

Ivy sucked in a deep breath, then blew out a heavy breath that sent a strong wind out. The straws blew with the wind and sent Champion pig rolling away.

Ivy howled in victory and stomped towards the baby pig. Champion ran over to Pretty Boy pig's house and the two locked the door. Ivy marched over to the house made of sticks.

Beating on that door, the wolf howled out, "Little pigs, little pigs. Let me in."

"When pigs fly!" Pretty Boy yelled out from behind the door.

"Suit yourself. I'm huffing." She laughed and released a heavy breath which knocked over the sticks.

The wind blew the two pigs back, and they ran over to the last pig brother house.

The solid exterior of the stones didn't deter the wolf as she made her way to the house. Beating on the door, she howled, "Little pigs, little pigs. Let me in."

"Are your boobs big?" Ricky pig asked.

"Huh?" The wolf gasped bewildered.

"Are your boobs big. You sound like a girl wolf."

"I'm to eat you and all you're thinking about are boobs?" Ivy questioned with a throbbing vein.

"I mean, if you want me to come out then yeah."

"Why you littl-" Ivy screeched in anger, then huffed and puffed all that she could against the stone. Yet, the house stood true. Taking another deep breath, she blew at the house, but it stood sturdy.

She leaned to her knees as she took a breath for herself. A strong scent suddenly passed her nose, and her ears perked up in excitement. 'Where is that good smell coming from?' she thought, before she noticed smoke rising from a hole atop the stone home.

'A way in,' the wolf thought with a cheeky grin as she started to climb the house.

Unbeknownst to the wolf, the pigs were inside burning a cooking pot with a brew inside. What the wolf thought was an easy entrance turned out to be the opposite as when she jumped down, she landed into a hot pot. The pigs closed the lid saving themselves from the big bad wolf.

And the three little pigs, now free from danger enjoyed a nice feast as they lived happily ever after.

"The end." Nara chirped as she closed the book.

Giggling at the horrified expression on Triton's face, the mother stood to her feet and placed a kiss on his forehead.

"I love you, Triton."

"I love you, mommy." The young boy responded, snuggling deeper under his blanket.

Nara the room one last look over and then turned off the lights.
