Vinny grinned as Charlotte pushed passed him in a determined stride. "Hah hah, she's in! C'maan Lily let's wreck shit!" Vinny arrogantly bounded into the arena. It never occurred to him he might have seemed selfish to Lily, but he truly was only acting out of excitement. There was so much carnival around, and they had yet to actually partake in any of the activities. Hopefully, she would not resent him for anything.
Vince's great figure was met by a series of hoots and howls from all of the other participants, as well as spectating dogs. "Vinny!" They all shouted out of order. He was then greeted with several 'how ya doins' and 'how's the boss' and 'who are your girlfriends?'. Vinny answered everyone with a smile on his face, and then gloated at the top of his lungs. "Who's ready to get their ass kicked this year!"
"You say that every year!" A deep voice rang out from right behind him.
Ron.
The crowd fell silent as the two rivals stepped face to face. Their eyes locked and they glared unflinching down to each others' souls. Ron was a very large Shepard mix, and he even made Vinny look a little small. Both were very, very strong. But Ron was known for it, and he won the tug o' war tournaments back to back.
"So Ron, you ready to lose this year?"
"You finally able to put your money where your mouth is, De Luca?"
"If you're ready to stop ridin on your team."
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo" was the crowd's response.
The two glared at each other for a little while longer. Then they burst out laughing.
"It's great to see you, man!" Ron slapped a paw on Vinny's shoulder. "How's work been?"
"It's been tough lately, Ronny." Vinny laughed. "How's Little Russia?"
"It's a bitch man. But I'm still kickin it. Just like I'm gonna kick your ass in tug o' war. Again!"
Vinny shook his head. "Let's do this thing."
Ron grinned and then took the center of the stage, barking everyone to attention. "Alright, listen up and pay attention! Same way it goes like always....we do individual runs until da judges pick da top 6, an' then we do a 3 on 3 for the championship. I'm the reigning champion for 1v1s--Vinny is currently the close second. Newcomers have an opportunity to challenge the 1st and 2nd placers for their ranks. The event will kick off the wars--everyone will be watching. If you become the 1 on 1 champion, you are guaranteed a spot on the final 3v3 and you can rest until then. If you lose, then you must go back to the wars and hope to be noticed by the judges. After the premier challenge, we will resume free for all tug of war until the judges have picked their favorites and the teams are assembled. Any questions? No? Introducing our judges! Shep Diggs from The Chronicle! Bobby the Cagefighter! And my Uncle Mike!"
The crowd cheered excitedly at the mention of the first two judges, the hilarious Shep Diggs and the savage retired bait dog Bobby. But they kind of laughed at Uncle Mike.
"Do we have any challengers for first or second place?"
