Glacia laughed. 'I like that attitude you have. Assuming victory against a foe you have only known for a few minutes. Racing, tennis... heck, you'd be surprised how dangerous I can be with a raquet-'

'What's a raquet?' Incedia asked.

'Shh, I'm talking to the ugly moustache face.'

'The dog?'

'Groan,' Glacia said to herself. She composed herself, and faced the Baron. 'We shall see who'm truimphs on the battlefield, no less... my good man.' She added that last bit more as an insult than compliment.

'Can I taunt people too?' Incedia asked his sister.

'Good heavens, no.'

'Aww, fiddlesticks.'

Relcome ro rhe rames : Scooby said, going over to shake the two dragons claws. ' Ri'm Rooby, ' I'm Dixue" Dixie said shaking  claws with them as well " Good luck in the games.
_ I'm yogi" Yogi Waved :' Good luck.. well not too much..' he he"

[JitteryDragon]

Glacia was more than happy to exchance aquantences with her fellow players. 'A pleasure to meet you, Scooby,' she said, taking his hand.

'He speaks like you did when you were younger,' she whispered to her brother.

Incedia was insulted. 'I never!'

Glacia then took Dixie's hand. 'A pleasure,' she said, before bowing to Yogi. 'A fair game is a fun game.'

Incedia looked confused. 'It is?'

'Well, in this case, yes. Do you think you can manage that, brother?'

'Being fair?'

'Yes.'

'No.'

'Right. We're off to a great start.'

[Nick22]

Be careful with those rottens, they cheat horribly' Bobo said coming up to them " Droopy there is your team captain so hes the guys you have to listen to.. The games are about having fun..' Bobo, the money is important too, remember we're trying to reopen Jellystone Yogi reminded him.."oh.. right.."

[Kor]

"Welcome." Droopy said waving.  

"I'm sure you'll do well." Wally said also waving.

[JitteryDragon]

'Cheating?' Glacia said. 'You mean, they flat-out cheat, and everyone knows about it? Wow. This could be interesting indeed.'

'Ooh ooh, can we cheat, too?' Incedia said, jumping up and down.

Glacia shook her head. 'Remember what I told you about cheating, brother.'

'Only in Connect Four?'

'Close enough. Right, let's go meet our team captain, and devise our strategy.'

'Um...'

'I'm joking, Incedia. Let's just go say hi.'

[Nick22]

"good luck " bobo said as they returned to their groups.
_
The first event" stripetail announced, will be tennis Each team will pick 2 singles and 2 doubles teams, and will compete against each other in a round robin tournament. The first matches will be singles with the Scoobies against the Yogis and the Rottens against the Dawgs.  teams pick your tennis players!"

[JitteryDragon]

(OOC: just to verify, Incedia and Glacia are on the Droopy Dawgs, since they don't have as many players)

Glacia pondered with her brother. 'Doubles, hm? I guess that means the two of us-'

'What's a tennis, Glacia,' Incedia asked. 'Does this have to do with that raquet thingy?'

Glacia simply groaned. 'Better you were my burden then someone elses. Mind you, I have a pretty nasty swing. An interesting conundrum, since I would do quite well in singles. But there's you I need to worry about.'

'Me? Since when?'

'Since... hm, I've lost count of the years.'

'Six and a half,' Incedia replied, hand raised.

'You continue to amaze me, brother.' She turned to Droopy. 'Right, I'm more than happy to go doubles with my brother... best to keep him in eyesight at all times.'

[Nick22]

Scooby, Dixie, Woody and Winnie opted to go for the scoobies, Yigi Cindy Bobo and Huckleberry went for the Yahoeeys.

[Kor]

"Perhaps there is a place where we can practice some tennis since some may be unfamiliar with it." Droopy said.

[Nick22]

The Tennis courts ar located bnear the north end of town " Stripetail announced. the first matches will begin in an hour. h' He gestured and totals appeared on the huge screen behind him, showing all four teams, with large 0s below each one. "Each mastch is wotrth 100 points. Winners get 100, losers gets 50 points. They will male and female flights. For males it will be Scooby vs Yogi and Muttley against Droopy. For Females " Dixie vs Cindy and Gklacia agauinst muttley.. we;; that will be a mixed match since thevRottens have no females.."

[Kor]

"Hmm, I wonder how many negative points the rottens will get for this match." Wally said, recalling that when caught back during the original laffalympics the rottens would often get negative points at times.

[Nick22]

Cheating will not be tolerated.  Any player caught cheating will forfeit his or her match and the team will be penalized 50 points per match. " Stripetail said.

[JitteryDragon]

'Excellent,' Glacia said to herself, rubbing her hands together with anticipation. In her mind, this one was already in the bag. The mutt hardly looked like he even knew the right side of a raquet, let alone the responsibility to play fairly. All she needed was a cool head, and that was easily achievable considering she was an ice dragon and all that.

Still, she decided to at least wish her opponent good luck. It was the sporting thing to do.

'I look forward to an exciting match,' she said, approaching Muttley. 'Good luck, but I hope getting beaten by a girl doesn't hurt your ego too much,' she added with a giggle.

[Nick22]

I know how to play tennis" muttley replied disdainfully. " We had a tennis court in the villian's prison, and I played a lot of tennis to ease my boredom..
_ Do you play tennis much? Dixie asked Cindy as they walked together towards the exit " i havent played very much, my house does have a tennis court but its usually covered with lawn chairs and pool supplies and things like that.."
_ I'm more of a golf player actually" cindy said ' But it should be fun.. it was reallly cool hearing the crowd as we walked around the stadiumn, the crowd was enormous.. even bigger than the first games... So How do you know Scooby?'
_ I'm his wife" Dixie replied showing her the diamond ring she wore. Cindy's face took a look of jealousy "Wow.. I'm jealous.. that ring looks like it cost a million dollars.. " " Possibly, I didn't ask Scooby how much he paid for it. 'Aren't you cousins though? Isn't marrying your cousin illegal?' Cindy asked "No, it isn't. If it was illegal, obviously, we wouldn't be married. and yes, he is also my cousin. Hes the oldest of the family, i'm about a year younger than him.. " Dixie replied. "So, will you be having kids at some point?" " Yes at some point in the near future, I want to enjoy married life first..
- oh well, Yogi's been my boy friend for years, and i was hoping he'd ask me to marry him.. but the economy ruined that.. then the park closed.. forcing all the residents to find jobs/ i was one of the lucky ones who found one, i tested perfumes, and huckleberry was a hat modeller. If we win the games, I'm going to ask, no DEMAND that Yogi marry me" Cindy said as they exited the stadium and headed up the street
- well if you do win.. and we'll have something to say about that-" Dixie smirked- "then yes by all means ask him.. Scooby and I will 'persuade him to accept..' She grinned. " thank you Dixie, I can tell that we'll be good friends..' cindy said..

[Nick22]

Scooby and Yogi followed behind them " Been awhile since i played tennis' Yogi said, " With the job and everything.. " Reah, Re rusually rave ruff rying ron rhe rennis rourt, ro re ron't ray ruch. ' Is Dixie any good? " raright Ri ruess.. Re ron't ray ruch. ras Ri raid.."

[Kor]

"Maybe some of use will have to practice for a  while first." Droopy said.  

"That sounds like a good idea." Wally said, "if we can."

[JitteryDragon]

'Practice, yes,' Glacia said. 'I honestly haven't touched a raquet since Incendia and I got stuck in a sports shop overnight.'

'That was heaps fun!' Incendia said sidling up to his sister, and look just a little too overjoyed. 'Hey, do ya remember that one time when we got shut in that candy store all night?'

'Yes, yes I do. Only because you were the one who wanted to lock yourself in there, and I tried to stop you. By the gods, that ended in disaster.' Glacia kept down vivid memories of her brother devouring candy like a glutton, as if out of a scene in a horror film.

'Look, brother, I need to get my head into gear for this. Concentration is the key to this kind of sport. So I wish to ask a favor of you.'

'Anything for you, sis.'

'Don't do anything stupid for the next hour, whilst I'm playing, please.'

'...except that.'

Glacia placed a finger on her brothers nose, looking deep into his eyes. 'I'm serious, Incendia. As much as I like to tolerate babysitting you, sometimes I have to go my own way briefly... and every time I do that-'

'Something really bad happens?'

'Yes, like right now, and how we ended up here. After this is over, you're banned from using toasters.'

'Can I still use frying pans?'

'Good heavens, no!'

[Nick22]

" so are you guys siblings?' Winnie asked as she and Woddy followed after Scooby and Dixie : I'm Winnie, by the way, and this is woody" Woody smiled at the two dragons..

[Kor]

"Using frying pans to play tennis?" Wally said scratching his head, "That sounds unusual, not to mention you'd need a very strong arm or arms to do that. "  

Gary nodded, "I could see Popeye or Bluto being strong enough to do that."
