Zoey: Thanks for agreeing with our decision, so what do you really think of our strategy? Benson: It's missing some vital elements because of the Golden Divine Eagles. It's going to be a game-time decision line-up for the five-on-five. Other than that, it's solid for a rush job. But I have some ideas in mind. Valdis: I still got some ideas; I have been watching their games for the past week. I think I have a somewhat of a perfect strategy. I would like to hear what Zoey & Peyton have to say. I want some of your input as well, coach.
Sora: How long until the match again?! Justin looks at his phone with a platinum case. Justin: It's ten-fifty in the morning. And the match starts at twelve o'clock. So less than one hour and ten minutes left.
Peyton: We have time. Valdis: At eleven-fifty-eight, all of us will be at the team-suite box area. Well, except you, Blue. You will be at the tunnel by yourself. When the announcer calls your name, you walk out to the football field size stone tablet platform. Then the announcers are going to do some talking then once they're done talking. The ref will signal count down then everyone in the stadium will begin the five-second count down. Then you're on your own. Then once you're done, you will leap 43 feet off the ground; if you're injured or lazy, I will use my twilight portal to bring you up.
Sora: Is there anything else anyone wants to tell me!? Peyton: Remember that you will be on WMSN with your folks. At eleven-thirty-five. Sora: Where is it going to be at? Zoey: At the stone tablet platform or STP for short. Justin: Don't be disrespectful to your mom. Sora: I know how to mind my demeanors in a communal setting.
Forty-Five Minutes Later
Sophia: Sky! It's time to go! Sora: One second! So, V, do you think I can do the thing you taught me this morning? Valencia: Yeah, probably. But I wouldn't recommend it. I stepped close to Valencia's ear and wherein to whisper via her. My reason is that she's radiating this murderous feel to her, the way that her fingers keep twitching, the lasered in focus on Sophia's neck.
Sora: I know what you're feeling right now. Your thinking you should be the one on WMSN. You should be the one walking with me for the whole world to see. You think killing her will solve the problem, but it won't. Remember, you still can win me over fair and square. But you have to play your cards right for that to happen. Try to calm it down; I have to go. And please mindful of your body language, so it won't cause a scene. Valencia: Alright.
I left Valencia, said aloud, "I really do believe in the strategy, I won't fail you." Sophia and I proceeded to leave the locker room into the tunnel of STP. We passed by the backstage crew members. At the light of the tunnel, you can see the STP; on top of several cameramen, the cameras aim at people sitting in director chairs. As we walk closer, I can discern the people sitting on chairs. It's one of the top analysts at WMSN. A forty-two-year-old dark skin black man from San Diego. His name is Dan Hunchback, he goes by D.H. He's wearing his iconic dazzling lavender Italian suit. Every time I tune in to WMSN, he always somehow brings up a new version of his iconic suit or talks about how long his dreads are in every conversation.

Thirty degrees to his right is Maina; she's dressing in a crimson blouse and denim jeans with jet black ankle boots. She also has a wavy short bob hairstyle. Next to Maina is my elder brother Ryder. He switched his hairstyle to a short-top fade. Ryder regularly has a buzz cut like me. Ryder is dressing in an Adidas track jacket with a golden medallion necklace. Along with skinny black jeans on with Adidas golden shoes on.
Alongside Ryder is my oldest sister Sapphire, who has medium-long wavy ultramarine and lavender-dyed hair. She's dressing in a galaxy hoodie, space gray jeans, and grey Pumas. And Sapphire's twin and also my big sister, Ruby. She has on a white tank top with blue jeans and Timberlands on, with medium-long black and pyrope-dyed dreadlocks. And there are two empty director seats right in front of my family and on the left side of D.H.

How silly of me! I didn't get the chance to appreciate her uniform. Sophia got on a short-sleeved space gray tee with the Twilight Tiger logo on her back and another logo but small on her right shoulder sleeve. She also has on skinny space gray jeans with the Twilight Tiger logo wrapped around her left pant leg. This crazy girl even has the Twilight Tiger logo on her space gray shoes. She literally covered head to toe in this stuff. As we walked, Sophia proceeded to lock arms with me and rested her head on my arm.
Sophia: So...this it. Sora: What you mean? Sophia: I finally have a chance to talk to your mom once more, and I get to talk to your siblings again! Well, at least a more proper situation because I wasn't in the right state of mind at the time. Sophia giggles in glee. Sora: You really getting excited over something mundane as this?! Sophia: It may be ordinary, but it's still is exciting! So, does this mean I can get to talk about your family more commonly, right!? Sophia started to tighten up her grip on my arm.
Sora: Do as you wish. Sophia: What is your mother really like? I wasn't in the right state of mind; the only thing on my mind was you coming back to me? Sora: I just seen her yesterday, the last time I have seen her was eight years ago. But the time I spent with her last night was quite eventful, to say the least. But I think she's easy to get along with. And I can tell she's really studious. But other than that, I think you can make your own conclusion about her yourself. And make sure you speak English; it would be improper. And use your native accent, or your mother will have me dead by nightfall.

Sophia stopped, and raised my head, and put her hand on my cheek. Then she proceeded to embrace me. She'd let go of me and clasped my hand, and we head it out of the tunnel. The weather outside presents like a typical so-called perfect day. The stadium today is almost fully packed. The crowd and cameras started to take notice, with us walking towards the STP. Out of the blue, an announcer just said, "Please give a warm welcome to Sora Hestia and Sophia Accordia!"
Sophia and I waved to the crowd while we still held hands. And there's a pack of people in their own little section wearing our merch from our RoyalTube channel. We both saw our fans, and peered at each other, and had gleeful expressions on our faces.

The camera crew pointed at us as we walked up the stairs of the STP. Two people dressed in backstage crew uniforms gave us these small mics, and they attached them by our ear. The family and D.H stood up and proceeded to greet us as we greeted them. I gave a hug and kiss to Maina. My siblings had a group hug with me. Then they hugged Sophia as well. Then Maina gave a warm hug to Sophia. Sophia and I shook D.H's hand, and we sat down at the vacant director chairs, right beside each other, facing everyone. D.H starts to clear his throat, started to smile and laugh, and he got to work.
D.H: This feels like a dream! Seeing all of you here in one place is quite unique. Just think about it! We got the god of mages, then we have the four-time reigning undisputed champions also, the three of them share MVPs in the past five years. We have the youngest child of Maina Hestia and the only child of the Accordia family. And they made a name for themselves outside of being a mage. Which is impressive for their ages. Sora and Sophia: Thank you! D.H: You guys accomplished a lot of things. Which do you think stands out the most. Sora: Sophia, would you like to go first.
Sophia: Of course. I'll say concerning me essentially an individual, I will have to go with, winning the Grammy for my single Beloved Ending. What about you, Sky...I mean Sora! She sighs in embarrassment. Sora: You know what they say, old habits die hard. D.H and everyone else in the sitdown was amused. D.H: Sorry to interrupt you, but she called you what? Sora: The nickname she calls me is Sky. Ryder: I find it quite funny that she gave someone a nickname that primary goes by a nickname. D.H: Wait, Sora, has another nickname?! Ryder: Sora is his nickname; that's not his real name.
D.H: Well, this is news to me! What is his real name? Ryder: It's not my place to reveal his real name. Ryder kept on chuckling maniacally. D.H: Maina, what's his real name? Come on, you can tell it! You know me for a long time. Maina: Sora, do you want to reveal your real name? Sora: I don't really mind. It's not too big of a deal to me. Maina: Then reveal it yourself then, so poor D.H here doesn't go crazy. D.H: I'm dying of excitement! Sora: My real name is Bl... Sophia puts her hand on my mouth before I could say my name. I looked at her with a confused face. But she puts her index finger in front of her mouth.
Sophia: Actually, I don't want you to reveal your real name. Because I just found out not too long ago what it is. Sora: You heard the lady. She doesn't want my real name to be revealed. But someone on the team might say it, so listen carefully in the background.
D.H: That's quite disappointing, but it did start with a B, right? Sora: I can throw you a bone for this one; I can appreciate someone with great fashion taste. So it does start with the letter B, but it's not a common name. D.H: Will you tell me if I get it right one of these days? Sora: Of course I will. D.H: We got sidetracked a bit. What accomplishment stands out the most to you? Sora: That's genuinely troublesome to pick one because I think all of them are remarkable within their own style. I just list them out in no particular order, winning best R&B album. Being Queen Liz detective, also becoming a royal guard then becoming vice-captain of the royal guards. Sophia: I think you forgot something very crucial? She says as she clears her throat simultaneously as she bumps her elbow on my bicep.

Oh, she wants me to say that we're betrothed. I find it infinitely adorable when she acts so prideful. I'm surprised she's not even blushing after signaling something so boldly romantic. Is she growing a tolerance to say such romantic things? My Sofia is improving right before my eyes. But Sofia, I won't let you get away with something like this. Your actions won't go unnoticed by me.
D.H: Is it something like; I have the great honor and privileged to protect Sophia Accordia? Forgive me if I stepped out of line. It's endearing but too cliche for my taste. Sora: No way! I would never articulate something like that! D.H: Then what did she mean then? Sora: Sophia, you should speak your mind; you know your hints can sometimes go over my head.
Oh, man! That sly grin of hers! I've done it now! This is worse than her rage! I beg for mercy. Please show me mercy!!!
Sophia: Are you sure you don't know?! I thought you would be able to. Being her majesty's best detective and all. I earnestly thought your intuition was the most reliable, & that's why Queen Liz chose you. But it seems you still got a long way to go to call yourself an adequate detective. I believe that a detective isn't worth his salt if he can't comprehend a simplistic hint. Sophia starts to rub my hand, and she continued to have this fiendish sneer on her. Ryder & Ruby started to laugh maniacally & Sapphire is trying so vigorously to hold in her laughter. Not even Maina couldn't help but giggle. D.H tried to hold back laughing, but he ended up endlessly snickering.
Well, she wins this time. But I will get her back for this. Don't celebrate your victory Sophia, the war just beginning! You're playing a dangerous game! When I strike back, no one will be able to save you. We're not in London anymore!
Sora: So you want me to say the answer to your hint? Sophia: Yes. Sora: How do you want me to answer it, Mrs.Hestia? Sophia begin to cover her face, then Ryder, Sapphire, Ruby, are in complete shock. D.H is so stunned about what I said, he was straight up speechless.

I like pictures taken in cars. Driving at night is kinda mysterious, an intimate thing - and what shall I say? Imagination's a wild thing, and there are stories hidden in your smiles.Instagram is so much more than a vanity thing. Sure, there are a lot of people out there, bloggers, starlets and so-called stars just promoting themselves, but there are also the lovers, the travelers, the real artists playing and inspiring with visuals and words, and so Instagram first of all things means worldwide traveling to me. Here's what I found on my travels there, I wanna share it with you!Title "Pictures In Cars" is inspired by a photo of wonderful hannahtaha.Cover photo © Hannah Taha Visuals belong 2 the artists and travelers.
