Plus with Soph's aim and Zander's... Well.... Okay maybe he didn't have the best aim, but he had been working on the whole bicep, tricep, forearm thing. So hopefully he at least brought some momentum to the table. But anyways, enough of that. He was ready and so was Sophie Brown which was apparent when she pulled him towards the set up.
Of course he was there to help her get into that ball contraption thing, which he had never used before... And he had been bowling a few times, okay? "Off-Center, got it," he wasn't really sure how that was supposed to work, but Sophie was the Ravenclaw here so maybe her unconventional method would do the trick? He let her get in herself and then helped zip her up so that it was all proper.
And now it was time to ROLL. Literally.
He rolled her towards their alley thing, making sure to peek around the side of the ball to get a clearer view of his target. Plus, he needed to make sure he knew where the foul line was. Didn't want to trip that up, y'know? So then he rolled Soph back some so that they could gain some momentum... Which he attempted to do with a RUN towards the alley and riiiiiiiight before he could cross the line he gave her a GIANT push, doing what Sophie said and not going for the direct middle, but instead letting her roll slightly off to the one side.
And then he watched. Grateful that Zander helped her inside, Sophie gave him a bright smile and an encouraging thumbs-up, glad he was going along with her plan of off-center. Or... at least that he'd TRY to, but they WERE at an advantage here - Sophie was light and tiny and thereby undoubtedly easy for Zander to push, roll, and aim, right? She would certainly go wherever he intended, so as long as he didn't step over the foul line... they should have been SOLID.
"YOU CAN DO IT," she called to him, because ultimately this was all on him and she was just meant to sit in there and look good. So when he started rolling her into position, Sophie wiggled to get comfortable, and... OFF SHE WENT.
Spinning, spinning, spinning-- CRASH!
She felt the pins tumble over as the ball made impact, and... FIVE PINS DOWN. There was one on the far side that hadn't fallen, but they'd gotten FIVE OF THEM. FIIIIIIIIIIVE OF SIX.
"ZANDER ZANDER LOOK WE GOT SO MANY." Could he even hear her inside the thing, which was now rolling back to him? ZANDERRRRRRR. "D'YOU WANNA GO NEXT?" If he did, she'd get out, but if he wanted she could GO AGAIN TOO. UP TO HIM.
