Suna and the Gods of Sport

"What are we gonna do?"

"We're running out of time. We haven't slept in two days."

"The Gods of Sport, they'll be here any minute!"

The townspeople had been up all night, tossing and turning and worrying. They were exhausted, but they had no choice, the Gods of Sport would be here soon and they had to be ready.

"I can't believe this is happening," said Suna's mom, "Who would ever think that our little town would be chosen for this? I never even heard of the Gods of Sport before."

Suna's dad nodded solemnly. "It's a shame too. I was hoping that one day we'd see our daughter become an Olympian!" He chuckled wistfully. "She sure has the talent for it."

Suna looked at her feet, blushing. It was no use now, if she couldn't stop the Gods of Sport from taking over then there'd be no Olympics for anyone anymore.

"Don't worry about me," Suna said quietly to her parents. "Do you believe in me?" She looked back up into their eyes, trying to summon all the courage she could muster. "Do you think I can do this?"

Her father smiled widely at her and gave her a thumbs up while her mother gave her a big hug. "Of course we believe in you! You're going to be just fine-" Her mom stopped suddenly as she noticed something over Suna's shoulder, behind them on the street where they were all standing. She grabbed Suna by the arm and pulled her closer to her legs while simultaneously pushing her husband down behind the parked car they were standing next to. Suna turned around and saw what had caused their reaction - five of the greatest athletes in history were standing on the sidewalk across from them: Ben Johnson, Lance Armstrong, Usain Bolt, Michael Jordan...and Viktor Yushchenko with his signature long white beard and long white robe. The latter was holding a scroll in his hand and he was reading off names from it. "Andrea Jaeger," he called out into the crowd of people who were watching nervously from behind cars or hiding inside their houses nearby. A camera crew followed him around as he spoke until he reached someone who seemed to fit his criteria: Andrea Jaeger stepped forward with a confident smile on her face and posed with Viktor while his assistant took photos of them together with their smartphones. Then Viktor read more names off his scroll: "Maria Sharapova," he called out again several times until that name was called out as well when Maria herself raised her hand once everyone else fell silent in response to him calling it out again. Once she stepped forward to pose with him they continued like this until they reached Suna's neighborhood - once they announced Suna's name she ran over eagerly to greet them with a wide smile on her face before posing for photos with them as well. After taking photos with every athlete present Viktor thanked them for coming and led them away as quickly as possible before anyone could ask questions and get answers from them that might ruin his big reveal later today once all the media from around the world finally arrived here at their town.
