"Good morning and welcome to the Fandom Pentathlon!" Anakin said through his bullhorn, surrounded by bunting and Olympic rings. "In the spirit of the Olympic games, we too will be competing in teams in fencing, shooting, cross-country running--"

Beaker beside him was looking more and more panicked. "Meep meep meep meep meep!"

Anakin put down the bullhorn. "You what?"

"Meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep--"

Anakin listened to the extensive explanation with a long sigh. "So. Slight mixup. Beaker has pulled five Olympic sports from a hat and that is what you will be competing! So: skateboarding, pairs canoe slalom, beach volleyball, archery, and equestrian jumping."

More meeping.

"Really? We could not find horses. So...alot of jumping." The alots--kind of buffalo-adjacent but made out of springs--in their pens made alot of noise. Anakin sighed again. "Here goes nothing. Listen for your names."

"I'm from a desert, but all right," Rey said, strapping on the lifejacket.

"It doesn't look like it should be too hard, at least," Sakaki offered, trying to stay positive and not worry about the fact that not only had she never done anything like this herself before, but, apparently, her partner was from a desert, following suit by gearing up.

It would be fine. Sakaki was stupid good at anything sports-related for no good reason at all...unless there were somehow cats involved, apparently.

"We've got this," Rey agreed. "It might even be fun."

It definitely wasn't the scariest thing she'd ever do on water.
