*Pain was a little disappointed at Ertia's question, but smiled and said*
Yeah sure babe. Haven't played hoop ball in awhile. I hope I ain't rusty.

"Just don't take the septic hatch seal this time." Mal answers, his eyes already straying back to the viewing windows.
Ertia laughs, remembering how very nearly disastrous that was the last time. "No, sir. Kaylee picked up some junker parts Three Hills and I saw a hatch-seal in there."
She gives Pain a pat on the back. "I'm gonna round up Fly and Jayne. You go find JR and Guy. Y'all are gonna go down!"
He slaps her rear as she passes, "No ruttin' way, girl! JR, Guy and I are gonna eat ya alive!"
"Hey now!" Wash calls back from the pilots chair, "E and Fly might actually like that idea!"
With a leap, Ertia clears the last steps to land in the galley and taps Shepherd Book on the shoulder where he sits at the table, "Shepherd, we were talking three on three, but I bet if Sybil wants to play on JR's side, we can make it four on four!"
"Well now, I'd be honored to show you youngsters how the game is played." Shepherd Book stands up and loosens his cravat and Ertia grins at him.
"Great! Meet y'all in the cargo bay!"
She stops at the closet to grab the ball and check it for air before pelting into the cargo bay. "Game on! Who's in?"

They're probably busy or maybe they were kidnapped by the space monkies?
*Pain searched the ship for JR and Guy. He found Guy at the autowasher and said to him*
Hey Guy wanna play some hoop ball?
*Guy thought about it and replied*
Yeah I guess. Who's team will I be on?
*Pain grinned and said*
You'll be on mine. The game will be me, you, and JR against Ertia, Jayne and Fly. Hovever if Ertia gets another person and I can get another person, then we can have a game of four on four.
*Guy nodded and said*
Sounds like fun. So where's JR?
*Pain replied*
Probably in the infirmary with Sybil or somewhere. Why don't we go find them?
*Guy nods and the two men go off to find a third and possibly fourth player for their team.*

Ertia hands Jayne the hoop from the scrapbin and lets him toss the web-strapping over the cargo-rail, grinning as he misses the first time, swears loudly and tries again.
This time, it hooks and as he pulls the hoop high, she bounces the ball against the floor and then against a crate.
Fly hops to the bottom of the stairs, her usual combat boots traded off for running shoes. "So, who's the team?"
"Pain went to get Guy and JR, maybe Sibyl. If Sibyl wants to play, Preacher's in." Ertia answers, pointing to where Book is sitting on the weight bench changing his shoes.
"We get Book?" Fly asks hopefully. The minister is lean, but strong, and fairly fast for his age.
Ertia nods happily and bounces the ball through the hoop as a test shot. "Little higher, Jayne!"

*Pain and Guy found JR and Sybil in the galley talking about Mac. They looked over at Pain and Guy as they entered the galley. Pain smiled, nodded at Sybil, turned to JR and said*
So JR are you up for a game of hoop ball?
*Sybil intrigued said to JR*
What is this hoop ball game? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with it.
*JR smiled at Sybil and said*
It's a game where you throw a ball through a hoop. It's a team based game were your team tries to score more points than they other.
*Sybil nodded and said to JR*
That sounds quite delightful. Mind if I watch dear?
*JR smiled and replied*
Not at all Sybil. So Pain what are the teams?
*Pain replied*
Well so far Ertia has Jayne, Fly, and Book and right now I have just Guy here. I'm hopin' you could play on my team.
*JR grinned and said*
Well if that's the case consider me on your team. So who's gonna be our fourth?
*Pain thought about it then said*
Don't worry I know who to pick. Why don't you four go down to the cargo bay while I head to the engine room.
*Guy nodded and said*
Sure thing Pain. You know this is the first time I've played hoop ball in three years. I hope I ain't rusty.
*JR got up, along with Sybil and said to Guy*
I'm sure you'll do fine Guy.
*Guy nodded and left for the cargo bay with JR and Sybil. Pain watched them go and headed for the engine room. He heard Kaylee talking to John, knocked on the doorframe and said*
Uh Kaylee are you busy?
*Kaylee looked at Pain, smiled and said*
Not really Pain what can I do for ya?
*Pain grinned and said*
You up for a game of hoop ball? You can be on my team since Ertia has Fly, Jayne, and Book.
*Kaylee's eyes lit up as she said*
Well count me in Mr. Big, tall, mercenary man.
*Pain smiled and said*
Shiny.
*John tilted his head and replied*
I don't think I'm familiar with the game, mind if I watch?
*Kaylee smiled and replied*
Naw John that'd be shiny.
*Pain smiled and the three of them headed for the cargo bay.*

wow, all quiet on the posting front. oh wait here comes the gremlin.
*62 crawled around on the ship looking for the wolf, he found the one that played with metal beepy stuff that seemed to be the wolfs mate.*
kaylee" hey there little guy, wolfs not around, he left...again."
*kaylee wiped a tear from her eye and walked down to the hoopball game.*
62" the wolf is gones?GONES!?"
* the creature grumbled away, the mechanic had not been specifical, he would have to find the wolf next time they were planetside.*
im writing this from experiment 62s computer (he lives about a block away) so its not interfering with any of his plans.

*Kaylee rejoined the group in the cargo bay. Pain looked at her, then back at Ertia and said*
Alright I have my team so what's the stakes?
*Ertia smiled and said*
Winners don't have to do chores for a month.
*Pain thought it over and said*
And the losers?
*Ertia replied*
The losers will have to do the winner's chores silly.
*Jayne threw the ball at Guy and said*
'Nuf talkin' lets play.
*JR replied*
Bring it on Jayne, me, Pain, Guy, and Kaylee will whoop y'all pigus.
*Jayne grinned and the game was on. It was a four on four game with Pain, Guy, JR, and Kaylee versus Ertia, Jayne, Fly, and Book.*

Ertia ducks under JR's arm, catching the backwards bounce propelled to her from Shepherd Book.
Leaping as high as she can, she throws one-armed towards the hoop, only to see Pain's hand block it. With a mock glare, she dashes after it.
Jayne yells that he's free and she scoops the ball and sends it towards Jayne just before she finds herself tackled. She's giggling as she wails, "Hey! there's no tackling in hoop-ball!"
"Is now!" Guy lets her up and moves to block Jayne's shot, only to have Fly tackle him from behind.
For a brief moment, everyone is laughing, even the normally proper and prim Sybil.
