Kicking a ball

[Emblem 'The Impulsive']

EVPW's parking lot. Some thuds are heard every now and then, and checking where the sounds came from...After a few seconds, you can see a ball roll past, followed by Emblem stopping it with it's foot.

Emblem: Kan nog steeds niet veel, maar ik wordt beter...tijd geleden dat ik een voetbal aanraakte...Verwacht je heel niet..

Emblem was kicking the ball against the wall, catching it again when it bounced back, or he was randomly trying to keep it from bouncing the ground, kicking it in the air over and over again. Every now and then, Emlem tried some fancy trick, but he wasn't the most skilled player, to put it that way...

Emblem kept playing with the footbal, a clear smile on his face. Euro2008 was over for his hometeam, but he was qute enjoying himself...

[Amanda Hallsworth]

Emblem kicked the ball against the wall again, but this time, he let it roll behind him. He wiped his forehead and turned around, only to see Amanda stood there with her foot on top of the ball and a smile on her face..

::[.Emblem.]::
You know.. Those boots aren’t really suitable to play Soccer in..

He pointed down to Amanda’s boots, black ones, with a heel on. She laughed at him and managed to kick the ball over to Emblem, who stopped it with his foot then bent down to pick it up. Amanda walks over to him and smiles again..

::[.Amanda Hallsworth.]::
I can kick a ball better than you think Emmy..

Emblem let the ball drop by his side and held out his arms, questioning a hug. Amanda smiled and hugged him. Afterall, they were long time friends, since GHW and had been through a lot together. This was their first meeting being in EVPW..

::[.Amanda Hallsworth.]::
So what are you doing out here?

::[.Emblem.]::
Just you know… Playing soccer… By myself..

::[.Amanda Hallsworth.]::
I can see that… And yes, I know.. Stupid question.. How are you?

What Amanda was doing out there was everyone’s guess. Emblem didn’t hear her car pull up so guessed she walked, which judging by his face earlier after seeing her boots, he probably thought was a shock. Amanda just stood there, waiting for Emblem to speak..

*Tbc by Emblem, or anyone who wants to jump in?*

[Emblem 'The Impulsive']

Emblem: Well me...uh...I guess you could say fine.

Emblem looked with his normal smile, but Amanda knew he had something troubling him.

Amanda: There's no way for you to fool me, Come on, what's up?

Emblem: Normal homesick thing a bit... That why I talked dutch and started kicking a ball.. but it's nothing more then usual. And I'm not feeling all well lately, people also said I was a bit...spikey lately. Think I need some sleep, but Ive been sleeping more then 1.5 times I normally do, and I'm still tired. And of course...I'm still...sorta...

Amanda: Alone? Lonely?

Emblem: You got it. Hit the nail right on the head.. That easy to figure, huh?

Amanda: I'm not stupid Emmy. You live where the fed goes, day and night. You're no American so that creates some sort of a distance. You listen music ALL the time, and as hard as possible, to drown out sounds probably... You once talked to Zant in Japan, telling him you would want to walk the streets when people won't honor you like a hero and they would judge you from who you really are.

Emblem: Yeah well, dreams always have two sides. One you like and one that you have to sacrifice to achieve the dream. Don't let it bother you, I'll be fine...

Amanda: You always say that...

Emblem: Yup. Probably too stubborn to accept any help from others. Anyways, Did I make too much noise? Or is the Dutch talkin' a pain to the English ears of everyone around here? And let's cut some formalities here,.. WHAT is a lady like YOU doing in a place like THIS, at a time like THIS? Something up?

Amanda: Well, let's say the thuds made me some sorta interested in who was playing soccer here. American people mostly see Soccer as a girl sport, you know that?

Emblem: Most American people can think whatever they want, I like it, as do you. Don't think I'm a girl don't you?!

Amanda looks at him as if she was thinking that, only to laugh a moment later at his facial reaction.
Amanda: You fall for almost everything! You should have seen your own face!

Emblem: Yeah, cause I can't be wrong then! What if you though I was one! You're lucky not to be in a wrestling ring lady, or else...

Amanda: OR else what, Emmy-boy?

Emblem: I would have punished you with my latest inspiration in wrestling moves...especially for female opponents!

Amanda: Oh, now I'm scared. It can't involve any type of you hitting a woman, so I guess I would kick your girly ass! Bet it's something that makes me laugh!!

Amanda laughs again, seeing Emblem DID hear the girly thing loud enough. But she didn't know Emblem DID has a tickling thing in mind...

Emblem: Just you wait...It'll blow your lungs out, you won't have time to breath.

Amanda: Well for now, let's see if these boots can kick more then your ass...

Emblem has the ball in front of him, and in a flash of a second, he ticks his toe's together, both scooping up the ball up a bit, and he ticks it towards Amanda, with an arc so that it would hit her boot straight.

[Amanda Hallsworth]

The ball hits Amanda’s boot, however her boot is pointy at the end so she doesn’t manage to keep the ball going up straight, instead she kicked it into Emblem’s stomach. It wasn’t hard, so she didn’t hurt him, but Emblem decided to play the sympathy game and put on a sad face as if it did hurt.

::[.Amanda Hallsworth.]::
Hey, that’s not fair.. My boots.. Are you okay?

Emblem drops the ball and puts both of his hands on his stomach, pretending not to breathe. He takes it a little too far though as he drops to his knee’s, over exaggerating. It looked really funny though, so Amanda laughed and slapped him on the arm softly. Emblem stood back up and looked at her..

::[.Emblem.]::
Ah well, it was worth a try.

::[.Amanda Hallsworth.]::
I would have been able to do it, but.. My boots aren’t really made for this sport..

::[.Emblem.]::
Excuses, Excuses..

Emblem rolls his eyes and then laughs at it. He picks the ball back up and bounces it on his knee once as Amanda folds her arms and raises an eyebrow at him..

::[.Amanda Hallsworth.]::
I bet I can kick that ball over that wall.. With these boots on.

Emblem passes her the ball and laughs a little, thinking it would be funny to see this. The wall where Amanda pointed to was just behind someone’s back yard. She put the ball on the floor and took a step back, taking one last look at the wall. She stepped forward and kicked the ball. It went pretty high in the air, well over the wall. As it came down and now behind the wall, Amanda smirked, but then only to hear glass shatter everywhere. It turned out she kicked the ball into someone’s back yard and it smashed the roof of the greenhouse. Emblem laughed and Amanda covered her mouth with a hand, in a shocked way..

::[.Amanda Hallsworth.]::
Run!

Amanda and Emblem ran round the corner , still in the parking lot, but now near the entrance doors to the EVPW arena. They stopped and Amanda turned to Emblem, both of them laughing..

::[.Amanda Hallsworth.]::
Whoops… Bet you can’t do that huh?

*TBC by Emblem*

[Emblem 'The Impulsive']

Emblem: Good god. Question is..Would I even WANT to do THAT?! Guess I'll have to ask it back huh? ..and pay for the greenhouse...There goes lunch and dinner.

Emblem didn't mean it, he could afford some glass for a greenhouse easily, but he couldn't resist to say it.

Amanda: Well, you are proclaiming to be the gentlemen, don't you Emmy-Wemmy?!

Emblem looks quite lost, being called like that. This time, Amanda puts up a girly face, as if she was saying ''Pretty Please'' with just her eyes, slowly shaking her head but keeping her eyes on Emblem..

Emblem: Uh oh...not that look! Don't you dare ms. Hallsworth!

Amanda didn't stop and Emblem couldn't help but to smile. he sighs, then looks around the corner. He could never resist any smirk like that, but he didn't mind..

Emblem: Well, guess it's time for me to apologize and pay for the damn greenhouse. Who builds one around here anyway?! I already hear him shouting right now, wanna bet he expected some kids?

Amanda: Well, we DID ran off...

Emblem looks at her with a puzzled look, not really knowing what he should think of this...

Emblem: How on earth did you kick a ball THAT far with pointy boots...Ow wait I wouldn't want to know, cuz you'll try to put boots on me and call me girly again.

Emblem sticks out his tongue, as does Amanda in the quickest response possible.

Emblem: Well, walking with me? Bet the guy would laugh his pants off when he sees one long weird guy with long white hair and a beautiful fancy lady standing next to him, both being top-notch wrestlers next-door...Can you imagine the look on his face?

[Amanda Hallsworth]

Amanda chuckles a little as she imagines a grumpy old man shouting at them for breaking his greenhouse. Emblem looks around the corner once more, over the wall where the ball went, which really wasn’t that far away. He turned back to Amanda who smirked at him and kind of giggled..

::[.Amanda Hallsworth.]::
I think I’ll let you do this one alone..

Amanda winked at him. She laughed and watched Emblem’s facial expression change in an instant. He opens his mouth to speak but before he can, an old man’s voice is heard..

::[.Old Man.]::
Damn Kids!

Both Amanda and Emblem laugh this time, hearing the guy blame his smashed greenhouse on kids. Before anything else can be said, the football comes flying back over the wall, and does a pathetic little roll towards the two professional wrestlers. It stopped though and air could be heard coming out of a big gash in the ball. Amanda looked back at Emblem and laughed, then walked from behind the wall..

::[.Amanda Hallsworth.]::
Excuse me. They went that way..

Amanda points the opposite way and then moves back behind the corner as the old man nods his head at her. She laughs again at it and looks at Emblem, whose face wasn’t screaming that he was pleased at what she just did. It didn’t last long however until he smirked and shook his head slightly..

::[.Emblem.]::
I can’t believe you just did that. That poor old guy will be looking out for kids now… We should have gone to apologise.

::[.Amanda Hallsworth.]::
Oh come on… Has Emmy lost his sense of adventure?

She chuckled as she said this, obviously being sarcastic as she waited for Emblem to reply..

[Emblem 'The Impulsive']

Emblem: Two professional athletes, two top-notch wrestlers..hiding from an old man! Now I have enough humor to enjoy that, but I can't call it an adventure, can I?

Amanda got what she wanted. She looks at Emblem with a big smirk on her face, almost literally saying 'Bingo'. After figuring this out, Emblem looks back with one of his popular faces, one which can be explained as a smile with a thought behind it.

In an instant, he ducked, and grabbed Amanda around the waits, as if he was going to give her a Northern Light suplex, right here ad now, but he simply lifts her up as if it was nothing, and started walking to the corner.

Emblem: *Fatherly serious voice* Young Girl, you are going to apologize right away!

Amanda, at first, faintly though Emblem would pull this off, but she decides to play with this and see where it went.

Amanda: *Exaggerated girly voice* No Daddy, I don't want to!

Amanda, on her turn, started tickling Emblem on his sides. Emblem had trouble moving and placed Amanda back on her feet. However, Amanda didn't stop, and kept tickling him till he fell to the ground of laughter, next to his now flat ball.

Emblem: Whaha, how did you know I can't resist tickling? You're psychic?!

Amanda: There's a lot of things I know Emmy....

Emblem: RAWR! Anyway, guess we literally dropped the subject...I'll throw some cash through his letterbox later, with a note or something. BUT...now that we are toying...The Old man needs to be punished too...

Emblem grins somewhat, looking at Amanda. Amanda didn't know what he was thinking, but she could guess...

Amanda: Nuh uh! I ain't punishing old guys! Yuck!

Emblem: Whaha, no no no, not really what I meant. See this..now dead...ball?

Amanda: Dead for sure...

Emblem: More dead then ball I'd say. Anyways, this ball, believe it or not, was kind of special. As you can see, it's been used often, and it's getting a bit old. I like the ball, and it was one of the things I had left from my youth, from the Netherlands...

Amanda: I'm sorry...

Emblem: For what? Let's do it like this. You're the adventurous one here, with the better sense of humor. What shall I pull on the old man for..this?

Emblem lifts the ball from the ground, and places it on his head, wearing it like a hat. Amanda laughed, thought it was kinda funny, while thinking about Emblem's proposal...
