Reasons ???: Witch Hunting (8)

"Ready?!!" Peterson yelled as he stood at the end of the course line, preparing to signal the girl to begin. The rest of the spectators, on the other hand, sat on the sidelines and watched the girl perform while they sipped their morning tea.

"I guess your attempt to make her change her mind has failed again." Tolius smiled and served Omer his tea. 

"Hmph, she'll learn to change her mind," Omer said with a sulky face, as he was still unhappy that he couldn't get the girl to change her mind and come home with him. 

"Haha." Tolius lightly laughed, "Who knows. Perhaps after seeing her perform, you will change your mind instead."

"GO IVY! GO! GO! GO!" Hope cheered while Hero howled, "Woof! Woof! Woo!!!"

While their cheers echoed from afar, Ivy tightened her bandana and fixed her gaze on the hilltop goal.
