Backlash
It didn't take long after the interview broadcast on the CBC for the threats to start. By the time they broadcast it, Lauren had already finished with all of her paperwork informing the school that she wasn't returning in the fall, so she didn't...
Lineup Changes
It was a few days later that Kimmit pulled me aside after practice. He'd spoken privately with me once or twice since he'd made me captain, mostly just to get my impressions on how the team was doing. Whenever he split the team up to run different...
Twenty-One
#4 of fba stories description copied from fa: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13990060/ when hal took kevin out for dinner the day after his 21st birthday, kevin had no idea of hal's intentioned for the night.
Control
The provincial finals, in an act of ultimate cruelty, took place the weekend before exams that year. Following our dominating victory at the Vancouver citywide tournament, Kimmit had given us a very short break; one week during which we only had...
Comfort Zones
The ball wasn't what Desdemona had expected. Though, for that matter, she wasn't sure what she'd expected. Ballroom dancing was such a foreign thing to the perch that she couldn't put it into context. If it wasn't the rhythmic thrashing and swaying to...
Scouting Profile
Our team went undefeated in my junior year of high school. Catherine, Garet, and I made for a trio that the other teams simply could not keep up with. On top of that, Kimmitt's training guaranteed that the rest of our team was competent enough to back...
The Off-Season
The summer after eleventh grade was one of the best times of my life. I know, I could probably make it sound much more eloquent and nuanced than that, but that's really all there was to it. Admittedly, the first week or so after exams finished were...
Civic Duties - Part 2
"It had to be fucking January, didn't it?" Cali snorted next to Desi. The two of them were far enough beneath the ice and the water for it to be a bit warmer now. Desi was still shivering some as the pair cut through the water, heading down towards...
The Reunion - Part 1
I can accept that some random fba player is better than me. hiro's somebody from _my_ world, though. i see him on those replays; how big he is, how well he moves and shoots, how bloody _majestic_ he looks when he's in the air...
The Reunion - Part 2
Catherine managed to keep her beak clamped shut until she got down to the women's locker room. She slammed the door shut behind her, almost hitting Elisa. The ocelot had been walking quickly to keep up with her all the way down to the locker rooms, but...
Civic Duties - Part 3
Four years in and suddenly having a daughter in the fba finals is no big deal, huh?" she snorted. "if she ever tries to call me on it, i'll ask her how many of my live albums or interviews she's listened to." "you check to see if she won yet?"
January 10, 2020
Maybe they heard me mention it in an interview, or somebody said online that they'd seen me eating here, or maybe that uber driver was bragging about driving two fba players, or..." she trailed off, still looking at him. he was worried.
