Underwater Football

It was six to six. There were five more seconds left until the game was over. Then…. TOUCHDOWN by the Fish-Fighters’ number 88, Charles Needles. This was the 22^nd Starfish Bowl and the Fish-Fighters had won every game thanks to 22 generations of the Needles Family. It was all thanks to George Needles, the founder and the manager of the first Fish-Fighters football team. Charles had just made it official. The Fish-Fighters would never loose.

The next game, Charles sent a bubble to the coach saying that he was busy at home and had to miss the game. Even though they won, it just wasn’t the same without Charles.

The next week, the Fish-Fighters were scheduled to play the hardest team in the sea. Charles sent another bubble saying he couldn't come. The coach was furious! “What is going on?” cried the coach. “What’s so important that he has to miss TWO games. I am going over to his castle right after the game and I’m going to find out.”

It turned out that Charles’ wife was going to have a fry. It was a boy and they named him Alex. He was the new generation and would be the new hero for the Fish-Fighters.

The End.
