Chapter 2: The Battle
This was the first time I had battled in a year. I gotta admit, I was really rusty. When I went outside, I saw a white bloon, and I completely missed it with my glaive.

"Wow, I can&apos;t even hit a bloon." I muttered to myself.

As I kept battling the bloons, I got better and could pop many bloons with one throw of my glaive. Once all of the white and black bloons had been popped, I started to head back to my house. It was almost sunset, and the battle had lead me far away from my house, so I decided to take a shortcut back to my house. The shortcut involved going around a pond.

"This shortcut won&apos;t be too dangerous, almost no one goes near the pond." I thought to myself.

I quickly ran beside the pond and I heard a metallic screeching sound beside me. I looked to where the sound was coming from and saw about 20 lead bloons surrounding me.

"Oh no! I forgot to heat my glaive up!" I exclaimed.

The lead bloons were closing in on me. I had no glaive that could pop lead bloons, and I didn&apos;t know what to do. I had to think of something before it was too late!

I quickly ran towards the lead bloons. They tried to get me but as they were made of lead, they were really slow. I jumped onto one of them and used it as a springboard to bounce over the rest of the lead bloons. I rolled before I landed, and quickly ran back to my house.

"Where were you!!!!" Mum exclaimed! "Didn&apos;t I tell you not to be gone too long!!!"

I told Mum my story. I told here about everything, the battle with the white and black bloons, the shortcut I took, and the lead bloon encounter. She wasn&apos;t pleased with me.

"Next time don&apos;t take any shortcuts! You never know what could happen..." Mum grimaced, as if she was thinking about something that had happened.

"Mum, why have you become sad all of a sudden? Is there a story you want to tell me?" I asked.

"Well... alright." Mum said. "One day I was walking around near the outskirts of the city. I was on a shopping trip, looking in lots of shops to see if I could find ingredients for cooking that I never saw in any other shops. I walked to every shop, and I found tons of ingredients that would help me make amazing meals. When I was done, I started walking home, but I was so burdened with luggage, I decided to go through an allyway that was a lot shorter compared to the way I took to get to the shops. In the ally, I got ambushed by lots zebra bloons. I really thought I couldn&apos;t escape, but luckily, your Dad came and popped them all. This was how I meat your Dad."

"Wow, no wonder you didn&apos;t want me to go." I muttered.
