♫ for Chad!
we know the way - moana soundtrack
The game was on the line, and Ben knew it. He wasn’t even the captain; he’d given up that honor after high school, when he’d been coronated and started having far too much on his plate, yet he still took responsibility for the tourney team failing, here on their home field, a goal down to Sherwood Forest with just eleven seconds left on the clock.
He looked around the circle at all his fired up teammates, and Ben knew that they wanted this win – maybe some of them even needed it. He caught Chad’s eye, and noticed that he was distracted, glancing sideways towards the cheerleaders… towards Audrey. Ben knew how badly his sometimes-friend wanted to impress his ex-girlfriend, and he had a feeling that he wanted the glory of the win as a chance to get the girl… or maybe just to remind people to take Chad Charming seriously.
They may have had their differences, but when they’d been kids, there hadn’t been any of the jealousy, or the resentment or the conflict that sometimes arose. There had just been two boys, two princes even, and they’d been the best of friends. And today, they were two teammates who still knew each other better than almost anyone – and suddenly, Ben broke the silence in the huddle, saying, “We know what to do. Leave this one to me and Chad.”
He winked at his old friend, remembering all the trick plays they’d been practicing together since little league tourney back in elementary school. They’d always been two of the best – maybe that had even been when the rivalry had started, when they’d been nearly equal in talent but Ben had been the one to be lauded, to get the captaincy. Could he even really blame Chad for thinking he was getting special privileges? Ben didn’t think so, but he hoped that right now they could forget all of that and just play like those same two boys who could practically read each other’s minds.
Chad winked back – he must have seen it too, the weaknesses in Sherwood Forest’s defense, the way that their favorite old play could work against this kind of coverage. Grinning, the team split off from the sidelines, the plan to get the ball to Ben, who would get it to Chad… who would send them into overtime, if all went according to plan.
send me a ♫ and i’ll put my music on shuffle and write you a drabble about our characters based on the first song that plays!
