"I almost had it!" Blurr protests, returning Rodimus's smile with a grin of his own and taking that hand. Once he's on his feet, he stops to make a show of shaking out his ankles; they don't really have that much sand caked in, but he can't resist putting on a show, adding as he eyes his feet, "Must've slowed me down a little."
"Did I miss the first point?" Haywire asks, shading his eyes with one hand as he dumps his towel – and the pile of armour in it.

"You did, you're doing great though, for playing on both sides. I'd get confused as to who I'd supposed to be playing for." Firebolt glances over at Haywire and just laughs, shaking her head a little.
She goes over and picks up the ball that's landed just under the net and tosses it between her hands as something to do while she waits.
ooc: do you want to skip over some of the playing\points? Just a question

"Actually, two points scored, Haywire," Rodimus says, picking up the ball. "We're even now." He lifts it and brings his other hand up for an underhand shot, sending it sailing towards Firebolt... Some time later...Rodimus hits the sand again, laughing, and though he manages to hit the ball this time, mostly he only manages to send it right into his own face. "Ow!" He holds his nose and laughs again. "Well, another one for Firebolt and Blurr. What are we to now?" OOC: Good idea, Firebolt! I decided to go ahead and include the jump. Blurr, feel free to make up whatever score you want, or even just claim Haywire lost track and we can call it a tie.

Haywire, grinning unrepentantly at Rodimus's fumble, stifles his chuckles long enough to actually look at his scoreboard. His dimpled expression turns challenging as he looks at the players.
"Looks like it's match point, guys," he says of the tied score. "Unless you wanna call it a draw!" But clearly only slackers would leave it here, is the clear implication from a stereotypical teenage male perspective. He looks from Rodimus to Firebolt questioningly, considering them the captains of their respective teams. Blurr, too, eyes both of his teammates. He's having an absolute blast of a time what with getting a real workout and all for the first time since Pz-Zazz – and since his recovery – but Haywire actually reminds him in an oblique fashion that he doesn't want to drag this out to the point where he's the only one enjoying it. It isn't fun if it turns into a chore.
"What do you say, hm? Firebolt? Rodimus? What do you think?" he asks, darting from the little red Ferrari to Rodimus so he can offer the Flamebago a helping hand up.

"I'd say it was a good game no matter what the score was," Firebolt says, a little tired out from all the jumping around, and falling because she was attempting to imitate Rodimus' awesome move (but never said out loud she was anyway).
"But we can see who's gonna be the winner with the one last point. The game point, the thing all the playing has built up to!!" she is very enthusiastic as she says this, almost bouncing up and down as she talks.

Rodimus is here to inspire awesomeness, Firebolt.
Rodimus is about to suggest they just call it a draw when Firebolt begins bouncing over the game point. He chuckles. "Well, if you're this excited about it, I don't see how we can not play it out," he says, accepting Blurr's hand up.
He reaches down to scoop up the ball and tosses it towards Blurr. "Well, your serve!" Then he adds more quietly, "But go a little gentle on it this time, hmm?" While he has no intention of just handing Firebolt the round, he doesn't want to win because another one of Blurr's impossible-to-keep-up-with near-sonic serves!

"I have been going gentle!" Blurr protests just as quietly and with a good-natured grump as he catches the ball and "dribbles" it, bouncing it repeatedly in his palm. And though he understands, he'd rather find some kind of balance between taking it easy and being too easy since the latter just isn't fair to Firebolt.
"Okay!" cheers Haywire with his hands cupped round his mouth as a makeshift bullhorn. "Serve for the match point!"
"And people call me impatient," Blurr mumbles, grinning all the same. He takes his position and sets up for the serve, then beams at Firebolt through the net. "Ready?" he asks. Once she gives her answer, he sends the ball up – and carefully so to avoid too fierce an opening shot. It's headed for the back end of her side.
