Prompt one
Its all come down to this. Facing the superstars. The team meets up the night before in Makrus’s condo to prepare for what will surely be the team getting totally blasted. While looking for some beer Sven found a bottle of orange Fanta in Makrus’s refrigerator. He took a sip and realized it was flat. So naturally he had to tell everyone how bad the flat soda tasted. And like a team they all tried a sip of the flat soda before it was poured down the drain. Makrus didn’t remember how he got an old bottle of orange Fanta with the label scratched off but it doesn’t really matter now.

Come game day the team hits the ice. To everyone’s surprise the first period goes great. The team is absolutely on fire leading the superstars 10-0. The second period was strange. The team felt like their energy was wearing off. Things went from always going right to always going wrong and by the time the second period was over the superstars lead 15-10. In the locker room the team is down. Everyone was trying to figure out why the magic was gone. That’s when Makrus remembered where the Fanta came from. It was a magic potion from that mysterious pill dealer. It was supposed to make you a hall of fame level player. But since it was flat by now it must have just made the team good for a little while. Thinking quickly Makrus bought a bottle of orange Fanta, scratched the label off, and shook the bottle up. Once it was good and flat he brought it into the locker room. He told the team about the magic Fanta and that he had a second bottle. The team drank the warm flat Fanta and could feel the magic. The third period was ours. Hitting the ice the team was doing great again. With just 3 min left in the period the score was tied 15-15. The team drank some more Fanta but it didn’t feel as good this time. They were still tired. Makrus confessed the Fanta was just Fanta and the team had the magic in them all along. Its not about wining but the friends we made along the way. To which the team assured him it was about winning. Back to the ice the Superstars are on the attack with less than a minute to play. Pasta the Turtle sees his change and slams an superstar into the wall. Using his turtle spin he sends the puck to Sven Svechnikov. Sven drives the puck passes to Makrus. Makrus moves to the corner passing to Slavakov. Slavakov takes it to the goal and back passes to Lev in the crease. Lev rockets the puck into the goal for the win. And just like that its all over. Everyone is stunned. The up and comers really did have it in them all along.
