Cheers erupted from the crowd as Julianna’s bowling ball knocked over all the pins. It was her sixth consecutive strike.

“You really make this look easy,” said Eddie, standing to take his turn just as Chester and Marilla joined the group.

“There isn’t anything to it,” said Julianna. “Unlike with most sports, if you get the initial move down then you don’t have to do anything else.”

“You mean, master the strike and then you never have to learn any other skill?” asked Fletcher, sitting across from her.

“Yes, something like that. The problem comes when only a few of the pins go down,” explained Julianna.

“So I guess you’ve figured out the way to always get a strike,” said Fletcher.

“Given that all factors are the same, then yes. Weight of the ball, surface of the lane and air density does factor in from time to time,” said Julianna.

“But you have Pip to account for each of these and advise,” said Chester, grabbing a ball from the rack and adding it with the rest.

“Usually I would, but he informed me earlier he was going to go and harass someone named Alexa,” said Julianna.

Eddie threw his bowling ball. It sped down the lane at lightning speed and then popped over to the gutter and then to the neighboring lane where it knocked down all the pins.

He turned, expecting to receive cheers. Lars, who was about to take his turn in the nearby lane and was staring at no pins, frowned. “I don’t think I can count that for me,” he said, pretending to be offended.

“Teach, you’re supposed to knock down your pins,” joked Julianna. “Not ones in other lanes.”

“Oops, sorry Lars,” said Eddie. “I’m still getting used to my strength.” He strolled back just as Marilla took a seat. She looked pretty sullen, which concerned him since the girl was usually quite pleasant. As typical, she didn’t join the activity but instead had brought a book. Marilla was always reading, but he respected that she still joined the team building activities. He thought they were important for bonding and morale. Julianna told him she thought it was just his opportunity to show off. That was probably true, although she was the one showing off today.

Fletcher lined up with his ball. He, as Jack had advised, had been a seamless addition to Ghost Squadron. His team, which were dispersed around the other neighboring lanes, playing as well, had been instrumental already. It was strange how fast Ghost Squadron was growing and pressed the significance of what they were doing into Eddie. More than ever before, he was doing something that truly mattered. There was a weight that went along with that, but he hadn’t quite felt it. Maybe when the newness of his enhanced body wore off, although Julianna said that never really happened.

Fletcher threw his ball and Harley sprang out from underneath Marilla’s seat, racing down the lane after it. There was a split second where the dog must have realized he’d entered a slick territory.
