“We’ve shone into victory,” exulted Shiny, watching Sterling smile while rolling their eyes.
“Some would say we’ve risen to the occasion. But it’s really a surprise to all of us.” Sterling looked down, clasping their two golds.
“In fact, we’re spinning around with excitement!” interjected Sparkle, whisking away their team to rouse up their fan section.
Not far from us, we saw Minty Fresh greeting one of the Indigo Stars.
“This hasn’t been our season so far, but we’re happy with how this event turned out,” noted Minty Fresh, “even if we couldn’t match your record.”
“We were astounded when we set that. It almost felt like it was random, and we put so much effort into training!” replied Indie.
“It’s funny how our sport can feel random, right? Your team earns four golds one year; the next, you’re lucky to earn one,” continued Fresh. “We’re feeling better this year with medals.”
“For us, it’s not about medals. It’s about feeling our best.”
We watched Minty Fresh go quiet, presumably deep in thought, as they bid Indie farewell. The captain of Mellow Yellow approached us, alone.
“My team? I sent Yeller and Yellah to meet with coach. But Yellup and Yellim…I’m sad to say…they’re gone.”
We stared blankly at Yellow.
“What happened there?” asked Yellow. “All I said is that Yellup is gone! And Yellim is gone!”
Yellow smirked as we heard two marbles chuckling behind us, before bursting out into laughter. We couldn’t help but join them.
