Monica was on the edge of her seat, her toes pressed firmly to the ground in expectation that she was going to be jumping up at any moment. She saw Deimus pass the Romp-A-Roo ball swiftly to one of his female teammates, who catapulted immediately to one of the center yellow podiums. The woman bolted, jumping from podium to podium. The other team had mostly been gathered on the opposing side of the field, and this took them quite by surprise. The woman, a witch named Rosemary, jumped onto a podium where one of opposing team members, a large burly warlock, stood. The man swung at her, but she didn’t even have to duck as he greatly overexaggerated his height. Rosemary headbutted the man in the gut, and he doubled over, giving her the opportunity to jump onto the center yellow podium.

A witch from the opposing team jumped onto the podium to prevent her from launching, but Rosemary went for it anyway. Everyone in the stands stood up in shock. The opposing team’s witch flew right into the side of one of her team’s podiums, just barely being rescued by one of the safety witches flying below. Rosemary’s balance was thrown off terribly, and she shot off to the side with little chance of actually landing on anything. The second safety witch zipped forward on her broom in time to cast a spell to save Rosemary, and just as the witch drew her wand, Rosemary chucked the Romp-A-Roo ball through the air, surprising everyone—including the opposing team’s goalie. It went straight through the goal, and the whole stadium shook with applause as Rosemary came crashing down on the stunned safety witch. Rosemary and the witch, who was supposed to stop anyone from dropping to the ground, went fumbling through the air, both gripping onto the broom until they came to a grinding halt, crashing in the grass.

The cheering stopped, and everything was quiet until Rosemary and the safety witch at last stood up after collecting themselves, and there was a second wave of excited cheering and celebrating. Wysteria’s home team was going to the finals!

Monica, Holly, and their familiars followed the excitable Mona down to the field where they met up with Deimus, who was jumping up and down, hugging and laughing along with his teammates. They had lifted the bruised and battered Rosemary up on their shoulders and were chanting, while the werewolves on the team howled. Trixie, the female dwarf on Deimus’s team, shouted over the team’s cheers, “Party at the hobbit holes!” which was met with much enthusiasm.

The next thing Monica knew, she and her friends had made their way to the nearby forest in the midst of a hobbit village. There were a number of bonfires set up, and spiked pumpkin juice was passed around. Even though the team had left the town, Monica could still hear excited chants from all over Wysteria. The town was ecstatic. Monica could not even remember the last time Wysteria’s Romp-A-Room team had made it to the finals.
