It had been a pretty decent time, all things considered.

He was out with the cheer squad, Colleen doing her best not to roll her eyes out of her skull Rio does whatever shenanigans that Rio does, and Finn happily inhaling curly fries.

Then Colleen screamed, and dropped her boba. Then, That was when things got weird.

Finn’s head snapped up to the sky just as the rest of the DuckBurger crowd did the same. A fireball was streaking across the sky, way too close for comfort. At first, he thought it was an asteroid. But asteroids didn’t crackle with what looked like raw electricity. They didn’t shoot off bolts like  that either. [color=pink]“What the heck?”[/color] Finn muttered.

Things only got weirder from there. Lights warping. Air bending. Gravity… glitching?

The others were already running.

Finn took one step back, and then was yanked straight into the sky.

[color=pink]“WaitwaitWAIT—!”[/color]

He was spinning, flailing, a scream caught somewhere between panic and “is this a cheer stunt??” And then… WHAM! Something wrapped around him. Not tight, but enough to slow the impact.

And then everything went black.

When Finn came to, he was… upside down.

And swinging.

He blinked blearily, vision full of leaves, sky, and what he eventually realized was a giant octopus mascot printed across the banner that had wrapped him like a gift basket. He groaned. [color=pink]“Ugh. Is this what dying feels like?”[/color]

The banner read, in bright bubble letters:
“The Best OctoBalls in Dyna City!”

Finn blinked again. It was then that he realized he was upside down. [color=pink]“Cool, love that for me!”[/color] He said cheerfully, but you could still detect the sarcasm.

He twisted a little, catching movement below. Someone stumbling into view… Nate? [color=pink]“Nate? Hey! Hey, RA guy! Little help?”[/color]
