Championship Pinecone Sprint
Staying cooped up indoors after yesterday's tabletop battles was totally out of the question, so I trotted right out to the sidewalk by the park! Right by the iron gate post, a fat brown pinecone was sitting upright on the asphalt like a real soccer ball. I dropped into my fighter crouch, dug my sneakers into the gritty concrete, and charged full speed ahead! Wham! I drove a flying kick straight into its prickly scales. The pinecone launched forward, bounced twice off a curb stone, and rolled cleanly through the gap between two gate bars. Undefeated street striker goal!
