“LOOK AT TEAM GALACTIC!” we heard fans shouting in The Pond as Team Galactic took the lead in Balancing to win their second consecutive gold in ML2022.
“We are starstruck right now,” said Starry, crying tears of joy.
“You might say we’re over the moon!” Cosmo added, smirking.
The Pinkies were similarly overjoyed to earn silver medals, following a terrible Balancing performance back in ML2019. “We got a 130. Can you believe that?” asked Pinky Winky, to Rosa’s laughter.
“We’re third overall. The Pinkies. Can you believe that?” Rosa responded. “Never in my wildest dreams as our captain did I think that would happen.”
Pinky Toe smiled warmly, rolling down from the podium and saluting Red Eye, who nodded in approval.
With bronze draped over their uniform, Red Eye broke from the rest of their team for their interview. “This event is one of our strengths, so it’s a welcome surprise to be bested by 2 teams that pushed to give their all.
I wonder what’s next for them.”
“What do you mean, Red?” questioned Yellow Eye, who had scored the team’s sole 130 during their heat.
“Well, what team starts with 2 golds and gives up? It’s not something we’ve seen in our career.”
Yellow Eye shrugged. “Should we resign ourselves to that?”
“No. It should motivate us to work harder. But for now…we should celebrate…” answered Red Eye, smiling slightly.
They watched as Pinky Panther leapt from the other side of the podium, modeling their Hurdles technique.
“…and keep an eye out, as always.”
