A long overdue story. I hope you enjoy.
Thursday, July 19th
Thousands of cheering fans lined the streets of Williamsburg, Virginia. Fluttering in the breeze, scattered pieces of confetti escaped from a few buildings as the team motorcade slowly made its way to Patriot Stadium.
Vera La Tiérra (Red Vixen, PG, WIL) smiled and waved to the crowd, flecks of confetti paper in her long auburn hair. She was dressed in a Minutemen championship t-shirt and jean shorts. Her car mate Leonard Mack (Fox, PF, WIL) had a similar outfit on, coupled with a matching baseball cap, with his long black hair also speckled with red, white and blue flecks. Still, he was too happy to care. Two shorter guards, Wiley Twaddle (Woodchuck, SG, WIL) and Eleanor Rigby (Deer, PG, WIL) sat in the back of the car, both waving. Eleanor was dressed casually, in a tie-dye shirt, jean shorts and rose-colored glasses, and the woodchuck was also dressed in the Minutemen's championship apparel.
Three rookies and a second-year player shared the next car. Damien Nathaniel (Hyena, SF, WIL) and Jason Peterson (Hyena, C, WIL), though their fur colors were different, shared big toothy grins and matching championship clothes outfits as they gazed at the parade watchers and waved. Tina McCall (Fennec Fox, PG, WIL) was a little embarrassed with the spectacle, once noticing a fan holding up a poster that said "TINA AND KAREN McCALL, THE MINUTEMEN'S FIRST FAMILY!". Still, she gave appreciate waves to the crowd. Ain Iannizzi (Cougar, SF, WIL), his hair freshly gelled, encouraged the fans to cheer louder, waving his arms He even blew a kiss to a cute college-age female cheetah he spied in the front of the groups of fans.
Nick Nwabudike (Elephant, C, WIL) and Teo Masalia (Black Panther, SG, WIL) sat in the back of one car, while Eric Logan (Bull Elephant, C, WIL) sat in the front. As they passed, they could hear scattered chants of “E-bo-ny. I-vo-ry.” The friends took it all in, waving in appreciation.
Thanks to the successes of the team, Logan partly came to peace with the fans’ respect for the veteran elephant and begrudgingly let them call him “Ivory, Jr.” They knew what they had in the two elephants, and they loved it.
The coaches, general manager and trainer rode in the back of the motorcade, with owner Jack Tarman pulling up the rear. This gave Sam Gwosdz (Red Fox, GM, WIL) a good view of the car in front of him. The occupants were his wife Marron (Arctic Vixen, SG, WIL), veteran Forrest Stanley (Wolf, PF, WIL), Lenny Hicks (Coydog, PF, WIL), and Otto Okkonen (Dragon, PF, WIL). The dragon looked so happy, as was his wont. Stanley had a big broad grin on his muzzle, relishing his first parade in his 17-year career. Marron sat beside him, waving to the crowd as well.
Sam looked around himself, like everyone else, occasionally glancing at the happy group of players in front of him. He hadn’t seen Marron look that happy in a long time, and it made him smile. But then a small little voice reminded him of the harsh reality ahead:
“You know there will have to be changes.”
Sam sighed and looked around at the coaches, Morgan Roosevelt (Raccoon) and Kelsey Hampshire (Red Fox), who seemed to be enjoying themselves. He looked to the back car and saw Jack Tarman (Tiger), whom looked perkier than usual as he joined in the parade. His left hip must have been feeling good; he looked like he didn’t need a cane today. That made the fox grin; even though he was 78 years old, the owner looked as peppy as if he was 38 years old.
His confidence and enthusiasm trickled down through the entire organization, no matter the results of the team. Sam was glad to have his support, and he’d need it for the off-season. The fox looked back at the players and briefly frowned. At least one of them would have to go in a month.
The parade reached Patriot Stadium and podiums were set up so the team could give final remarks. The team praised the fans, thanked them for their constant support, and said they were proud to be the ones to return the FBA Championship to Williamsburg. Iannizzi even enthusiastically gauranteed a repeat championship, which brought some of the loudest cheers of the day.
There would be changes in the future, the good feelings would fade, but the memories would stay. This would be their championship, always.
