The Last Sky Ball (A True Story)

[Four Lights]

Now, this really doesn't have anything to do about Sci-Fi... well... there is something about Star Wars! Anyway I found it funny. Cause it happened tonight to me and a Friend. Here ya go :D


The sky was clear, the air was cold and the stars glowed bright. Nathan and Cole approached the local Wal-Mart with intentions to purchase a new iPod, because of Nathan's semi-broken iPod at home. They entered the store and began to wander in the direction of the electronics section. Of course on the way they were distracted by several things: movies, food, board games, video games and a few television seasons on sale for only 14.85 + tax. Then they found the iPod, Cole and Nathan discussed the situation for a while and decided to look around the store a few more times before deciding anything.

While browsing the toy section Nathan and Cole came across the Star Wars/Action Figure Section. In this Star Wars Section something caught their eyes. The Star Wars Bobble Heads. One of Darth Vader, Anikin Skywalker, and one of Yoda. Cole reached for the Anikin one, when he came to find a little device, a ball to be precise. It was yellow and hollow. On the front were two large words, Sky Ball. This interested them. Cole dropped the ball only to find that the ball bounced all the way up back to his hand. Nathan smiled, and asked Cole to bounce the ball all the way to the ceiling. Cole declined this offer and told Nathan that he didn't want to be kicked out of Wal-Mart this night. Nathan laughed and told Cole that nothing would come of it if he bounced it off the ceiling. Cole still declined. Nathan wanted one of these balls, however he wanted one in the color of red. The quest for the Sky Balls began.

Cole and Nathan ventured through Wal-Mart for about 20 minutes. Looking in every section for the Sky Balls, they were met with no success. They checked every price tag, every isle, every corner as Cole happily bounced the ball all though the store. Finally Nathan and Cole came up with an idea. They should ask where these Sky Balls are located. They had to find the yellow Sky Ball's friends (preferably the red ones). Nathan walked up to a Wal-Mart worker, and asked him where he would find such a device. The man looked at Nathan and Cole in disbelief, then smiled, and said he thought he knew where they were.

Finally they came to the spot where all of the other balls were kept. He pointed down to a tag that read, "SKY BALL" The box above was empty. Nathan and Cole were saddened upon this discovery, however before tears could form, the man reached behind them on a shelf and pulled out a Red Sky Ball from behind some other toys. Nathan was enlightened by this. Cole was ecstatic. Nathan and Cole smiled as we thanked the man, he left. Nathan dropped his Red Sky Ball. It seemed to bounce farther than Cole's yellow Sky Ball. Nathan challenged Cole to a Sky Ball bounce. They held the two Sky Balls up in the air. Nathan said on the count of three. 1... 2... just as they were about to say three a young woman walked around the corner carrying, yes, another Red Sky Ball. Nathan and Cole acted as if they were doing nothing that had to do with bouncing Sky Balls. She looked at them after returning the other Red Sky Ball to it's rightful home, and spoke. She said, "Excuse me, you're not supposed to bounce those balls in here." she spoke this so seriously, that Nathan and Cole took it as a joke. Nathan started to chuckle. He asked if she was serious. She didn't laugh at all, all she did was point at the ceiling above them. They slowly looked up to see three of the ceiling panels dented and bent. The young woman turned and walked away. Nathan and Cole made their way to self checkout with their new Sky Ball friends. Now Nathan and Cole own the two Sky Balls to always remind them, to not bounce a Sky Ball in Wal-Mart.
