"Right, so this is a sport that combines big heavy things to throw and beer," Cade said, "so it's my kind of sport. I don't understand why we have to change our shoes, but even if you make the guy cry--" which Cade had, "--you still have to wear these ugly things ( Read more... )

Or complain about the shoes and drink beer! It's pretty much the reason you go bowling, right?

Theo didn't mind bowling too much. He, Thom and Kiori had done it a few times back in California. That didn't mean he was some good bowler but it was still fun.

He picked up a ball that was too heavy for him and tossed it down the lane. Three pins fell down.

"Not a bad start," he mumbled to himself.

"At least you hit something, and in your lane," Cade said, nodding. "Both of those are good."

Pause.

"I think. Do you get extra points if you hit something in another lane?"

"Unless the rules of bowling have changed, no," Theo said, snickering. "You might get some impressive glances from other people but your score won't be affected. You'd get a default zero."

"You'd think the degree of difficulty would make it worth more..."

Cade, you don't get to make up a new sport.

"But, what happens if there's someone bowling on that lane and your ball ends up knocking their pins down?"

If Theo had been someone else, that might have almost sounded like an innuendo.

"Then they should buy you a beer as a thank you?" Cade tried.

"C'mon, I bet you can get the ball in your own lane," Theo said, shrugging. "If I can do it, you can do it. Just pick the ball up and throw it straight down the middle."

"Seems kind of boring," Cade said, throwing the ball down the center of the lane...and watching it as it veered off to the right.

"Echuta."

"Nice shot," Theo said, smirking. "You can't hit the pins in this lane, how do you expect to hit the pins in someone else's lane?"

"I figure if I aim for the pins in this lane, I'll hit the ones in a different lane and profit," Cade muttered.

"So, aim for the pins in the other lane and maybe you'll hit the pins in this lane?" Theo suggested.

"I'm afraid I'll aim for the other lane and wing the guy pouring beer," Cade admitted.

"Well..."

Theo paused and couldn't help listening to Dev begging Theo to go with his initial thought of trying to get Cade to pull like a granny. Ange was arguing against it, of course, but Dev won out.

"Maybe you should try a different stance. Take the ball and hold it with both hands."

And then he demonstrated said granny bowling for Cade.

Cade burst out laughing. "There's no karking way that's how you're supposed to do this."

Of course it did!

"I bet you do better throwing the ball like that then you do any other way," Theo said, shrugging.
