Peppermints and Footballs

Fanfiction by LivingOnLaughs

It was a normal September day in Birchwood. An eight-year-old girl with mousy-bleah hair, green eyes and cheeks covered in freckles bolted out of her house faster than a speeding bullet.

A couple houses later, Peppermint Patty stopped in front of the house where her friend Good Ol' Charlie Brown and his little sister, Sally Brown, lived. A small red doghouse was in the backyard where the brother and sister were reading quietly under the shade of the side of the house.

"Chuck, you sly dog. Ready for a game of one-on-one football?" the tomboy asked. Charlie Brown walked towards her and politely turned down the offer, "It's just that Sally and I want to read together, maybe we can play football tomorrow." He insisted, but a very sad Peppermint Patty dragged herself out to a deserted football field.

Peppermint Patty poked the football in disappointment, sighing before flopping down on the grass, unaware of a certain bespectacled girl walk up to her and lie down beside her, as the tomboy wanted to zone everyone out and just be in her own world. "Do you want to play a little football with ME, Sir?" Marcie asked in the same friendly tone she used when talking with her best friend.

Patty looked at her smiling friend before getting up off the grass and preparing to throw the football all the way across the field. "Go all the way down the field, Marcie and I'll throw you a pass." "Yes Sir." The bespectacled girl exclaimed as she scampered down the field on her little Bobby Orr legs.

Patty sent the football flying through the air, yet instead of catching it, the ball caught Marcie by surprise as it knocked her glasses off. "Sorry about that!" Peppermint Patty called out from her place on the field. The younger girl smiled as she called back, "It's okay Sir. I didn't know that the football was fond of me anyways." The two girls rolled on the grass, laughing away and enjoying the crisp September day.
