It was in the fifth and last match that I heard something glorious ring true around the entire stadium: “AVIS, AVIS, AVIS!” — It was undeniable, they were chanting my name.

A minute before one tall Happerbat holding the red flounder hadn't noticed me hiding behind a tall brick wall. I tapped the shoes, stepped out and dodged the spell he threw at me, before snatching the ball and spelling him into the air. Now I charged forwards.

Five Happerbats were now soaring through the air towards me, completely blocking my path to the bolt-hole. But, Jake was making a lone run the other side of the pitch.

“Nouchous!” I called, causing a blaze of fire to erupt between me and the oncoming Happerbats. A perfect distraction. I pulled my arm back and launched the flounder into the air to Jake as I fell into the fiery grip of five Happerbats, I watched happily as Jake slammed the flounder past the guard. In a flash I zapped back the bench and out of the game. But it didn't matter, we had just won 3-2. That last act of unselfishness hadn't gone unnoticed. Jake grinned across the pitch at me, raising his hands in a high salute as Underwood called time on the match. The crowd suddenly roared. “AVIS! AVIS! AVIS! WE LOVE YOU AVIS!” It was the most wonderful feeling in the world — I was good at something. People loved me.

“AND THE WINNERS OF TODAYS RIPTIDE MATCH BY FOUR GAMES… ARE THE CONDORS!” Underwoods voice called true across the stadium to a colossal roar of applause. The purple and green scarves were now non-existent, replaced by a sea of yellow and black. I smiled at Robin, who had his eye on an adoring group of girls screaming his name, one of them including Felicity Merrilyn. Tina and Zara were now both applauding loudly while Jasper sank back into the crowd until he was almost invisible. We left the pitch, bowing proudly to a standing ovation, followed by “AVIS, AVIS, AVIS, AVIS!”

It was the best feeling I’ve ever had. Ok, it wouldn't have been possible without the shoes, Robin’s specs and maybe the jumper played a small part. But was it worth it? You bet.
