He swam over to retrieve the ball, a few people who had been in the area moving away once they realized that two gods were going to use it.

Once he had the ball, he remained on that side since it would be easier to retrieve it if he was already there.

"Here!"

And then he passed the ball to her.

[motherofthesun]

She shifted high enough out of the water to 'catch' the ball with her muzzle and level it with her. So, how to get the ball in the hoop thing. She twisted it this way and that, finally getting it up on her nose. Okay... okay, she can do this.

[perfectorder]

It was definitely a challenge, one that he was curious to see if she could do it. Maybe he would need to throw it to her so that she could bounce it back...?

But she seemed to be working something out.

[motherofthesun]

She nudged and bounced it, glancing over at the hoop again before knocking it over. It hit the backboard, but missed the hoop. Whoops.

[perfectorder]

Well it was close.

"Maybe you should try hitting it back when I pass it."

[motherofthesun]

When he passes it back? Oh! She gets it!

She nodded, looking eager to try.

[perfectorder]

He nodded.

"Here it comes."

And with an expert pass, he sent the ball her way at an angle that she should hopefully be able to hit it back all right.

[motherofthesun]

She watched the ball soar closer and closer until finally, she could bump it with her nose. She knocked it over to the hoop again. Closer, but not yet as it tumbled over the rim.

[perfectorder]

Seeing it tumble, he quickly leaped up high enough to knock it into the hoop before catching it.

"That was closer," he said with a reassuring grin.

[motherofthesun]

She huffed and paddled around, waiting for him to toss again. She was anxious to make a hoop.

[perfectorder]

Seeing her anxious brought a small amused smile.

"Here," he called out before passing the ball again, making sure to aim it so that it was a direct line from where he stood beneath the hoop to Amaterasu.

Maybe the trajectory of his own passes may help her.

[motherofthesun]

Amaterasu waited, watching the ball come down and knocked it up into the air. It soared in the air and fell through this time, nothing but next. She woofed in excitement.

[perfectorder]

He caught the ball as it sailed through the netting and he smiled over at her.

"Congratulations, you got it in."

[motherofthesun]

She huffed and splashed the water happily. Let's do it again! Let's do it again!

[perfectorder]

That earned her a small laugh.

"Okay, here it comes!"

And once again he did a perfect pass to her.

[motherofthesun]

Her paws splashed the surface as she watched the ball, waiting for it to come down. Again, she bumped it when it was low enough, sending it through the hoop again.

[perfectorder]

"I think we may have found the secret," he grinned as he caught the ball as it came down.

"Three for three?"

[motherofthesun]

"Ruf!"

Of course! Or are you going to make her go for eight?

[perfectorder]

And he passed her the ball.

Don't tempt him. He might actually just continue to automatically pass it to her without even saying anything.

[motherofthesun]

Again, with the shot set up, she knocked it into the hoop.

Paddling around, she waited for the next shot.

[perfectorder]

And he repeated the motion...

Each time.

So long as she continued to hit the basket, he continued to pass the ball back to her.

And he was now counting.

[motherofthesun]

She wasn't bothered. She thought this was all part of the game.

Amaterasu continued knocking the ball through the hoop after it was passed.

[perfectorder]

Five....six....seven....

She just had to make this last one...!

[motherofthesun]

And the ball went up!

It bounced on the rim and teetered for a moment before it rolled into the hoop.

[perfectorder]

And it was in! Oh how nervous he was when it didn't go straight in like the others, but upon catching it he let out a "Yes!"

He then swam back over to Amaterasu looking like a young teen proud of his own dog.

"You did it, Amaterasu! You scored eight times in a row!" Have a happy little ear ruffle. "Though that last one could have been a bit more perfect...I suppose it will do for now."
