Pool

*Setting up the table I wait for Connor to join me. It is going to be good to spend some time with him finally. We have all been so busy lately that we haven't had time to just hang out. Seeing Connor walk through the door I rack the balls*Are you ready man?


  • Connor MacConn *Walking in I see Aric racking up the balls on the pool table I nod* Heck yea man been waiting to shoot some pool with you, everybodies been so busy lately, how you been?

  • Aric Chase *Grinning*Busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest! I was really happy to hear Bossman gave me tonight off!*Watching him pick out his stick I toss him the chalk*Go ahead and break man.

  • Connor MacConn *Laughing as I break sinking a solid* Yea me to, I'm glad we got to move back I think we were all babies and toddlers last time we were together. *Taking another shot missing by an inch* You go man.

  • Aric Chase *looking at my options I pick the one I want to play. Putting a little spin on the cue ball I sink the 13 ball into the corner pocket. Lining up perfectly on the 10 ball for the side pocket I sink that as well. The cue ball slides in behind two solid balls though not giving me another shot.*Damn, what the hell is that!*Tapping the cue ball gently I leave it tucked between my 11 ball and the 8 ball*Hah, do something with that!

  • Connor MacConn *Seeing my few options to go with I pick the one most likely to get me by barely, shaking my head I look to Aric* Nice! *Giving the pool stick a quick flick I hold my breath, as the cue ball flies past the three ball sinks into the corner pocket. Smiling I take aim at my next ball and sink that one in the side pocket, seeing an easy shot I let the cue ball fly sinking the five ball into a side pocket along with the cue ball.* Damn! Guess it was a little to hard.

  • Aric Chase *Grabbing the cue ball out of the side pocket I set up for my next shot*Watch this man!*dropping the first ball into the side pocket I set up my second one and sink that as well, lining up the cue ball perfectly. I tap it oh so slightly and drop another one into the side pocket. Watching the cue ball roll towards the other end of the table I laugh*Perfect set up!*dropping the next ball I try to go across the table to pick up my last ball on the table but I hit it too hard and it deflects off the edge of the pocket and rolls away.*Damn, too much felt. I suck at those long shots!

  • Connor MacConn *Looking at Aric I shake my head* Damn bro, growing up in a castle with no kids around I'm rusty on my game! *Taking my next shot I sink in two more balls leaving a difficult shot for aric next, I smirk*

  • Aric Chase Well then, we are just going to have to play more often!*walking around the table trying to see if I have a shot*Shit man, you didn't leave me with any way to play! Ok, I see how this is going down. *Seeing the 8 ball fairly close to the corner pocket I line up to place the cue ball between the 8 ball and the pocket. Tapping the cue lightly I watch it roll down the table* Let's see what you do with this!

  • Connor MacConn Well isn't this a...*Using up my turn I bounce the cue ball off the wall slightly moving the eight ball, I cringe, watching the cue ball roll in between two solids, laughing crossing my arms over my chest.* Get out of that tight squeeze.

  • Aric Chase Wow, you play dirty, I like it!*fist bumping Connor as I pass by him, trying to get a look at the table*There ain't shit I can do with this!*Blasting the cue ball I send the two solids flying all over the table, ricocheting back and forth all over the table, hoping like hell neither of them hits the 8 ball by accident*

  • Connor MacConn *Smiling I fist bump Aric.* Ahh seriously! *Watching as neither solid makes it into a pocket, I make my next shot and sink a couple more in going for a third the cue ball flies and knocks it into a corner pocket. Hoping for a fourth,shaking my head as the cue ball knocks it into the side wall barely missing the pocket.* Damn dude thought I had that one.

  • Aric Chase So close!*Holding my fingers up*You were THIS close! Too bad this isn't horseshoes or hand grenades huh?*Lining up on my last ball I take a deep breath and focus. I know that if I don't make this shot I am going to lose this game. I give the cue ball just the right tap and send it across the table, sinking my last ball*Ha! Got it!*Looking at where the 8 ball is I know I don't have a chance of getting it though so I send the cue ball to the opposite end of the table from where his ball is*you're turn my man!

  • Connor MacConn *Taking my shot I sink my last two, aiming for the eight ball I take a deep breath.* Here goes nothing! *Letting the cue ball fly it knocks into the eight ball bouncing it off the corner pocket I clench my teeth.* Damn dude almost!

  • Aric Chase Oh Damn! I thought you had that!*Lining up I take my shot, sinking the 8 ball in the corner pocket. Holding my hand out to Connor*Great game my man! Great game!

  • Connor MacConn *Placing our pool sticks on the rack I shake my head.* Yeah me to dude. *Grasping hands with Aric we head out.* Play you again soon maybe then I can beat you. *Smiles*
