Phys Ed: Week 9, Period 2 (Fri. 11/7)

The gym this week was set up a little differently when students entered. In the center of the gym stood a stationary pole with a volleyball secured to the pole by a length of rope. Next to the pole stood the instructor. "I am told Tetherball is a fierce sport. Two players stand on opposite sides of the pole, one trying to wrap the tether clockwise around the pole while their opponent tries for counter-clockwise."

Ronon smacked the ball, sending it wrapping around the pole. "Hopefully it's more of a challenge with a partner. Get your uniforms on and find one. Let's see what you can do."

"It's about my speed today too," Friday replied, mustering a smile. "Want to go first?"

"Sure!" Ball on a string. What could go wrong?

Bounce. THWAP.

Friday managed to thwap it back in her direction. Perhaps a little too wildly.

Francine jumped up to smack back at it, and didn't get hit in the face. Score!

On that front. On the tetherball front, more of a score for Friday, since she thwapped it in the wrong direction and managed to wrap it another loop around the post on his side.

Friday let it go, then moved to unwrap the ball so they could start again. "I don't think I understand this game properly," he admitted, sounding very clogged up.

"Me neither," Francine confessed. "I always thought it was 'hit the ball and whoever doesn't get smacked on the nose wins.'" She peered at him. "You kind of sound like you already lost. You didn't get hit, did you?"

"Nah," he said, then tried to quietly blow his nose. "I just have a cold. I'll try not to get too close. Wouldn't want anyone else to get it. I'm trying to pretend it doesn't exist so it'll go away and leave me alone."

Francine winced sympathetically. "Does that work? It never works for me."

"It hasn't worked so far, but I don't want to give up just in case. Although I think I might go sit down in a minute."

"We could call it a draw?" Francine offered. "Neither of us hit ourselves in the head, though, so I say we both win!"

He managed a grin. "Sounds fair to me. Thanks for not hitting me in the head."
