You Think You Know?
It was Sunday, January 1st at Flash's house when he was watching the NFL ACF Championship between the New England Patriots and the Jacksonville Jagaurs. There was two minutes in the fourth quarter and Flash was sweating here. He was sweating because he wanted his favorite team to win.
He was relive that Gilmore manage to prevent the ball from landing on the opposing team by smacking it down. This made Flash cheer for joy. "Yes, Gilmore! Nice move on the one!"
Flash Sentry was jumping up and down before sitting back down on his couch when he sees the Patriots get a second down, but this doesn't faze him because he knows they will win. They lost another yard and again he wasn't fazed by this. There was now one minute and thirty eight seconds on the clock and the Patriots began to make their move on the Jaguars by having Tom Brady gave the football to Dion Lewis who moves pass the first yard of the field.
The crowd on the tv can be heard cheering and the announcer stated that they did it and it was a great block. The Rocker was very happy about it and it was the last game of the night.
Now we know who's going to the Super Bowl. "Hell Yeah! I knew the Patriots would make it to the Super Bowl. I just hope they beat those Eagles again. Tom Brady, I don't care if no one likes you or your team you and the Patriots are number one in my book."
Flash got up from his couch and was heading to his room to get something from his drawer. He pulled the third one open and took out a dark blue jersey shirt with a number twelve on it. He smiled when he takes a good look at it. He was planing to wear it during the Super Bowl on Sunday February 4th. Flash was really ready for the game Sunday and he hopes that the New England Patriots will win.

Timber and Gloriosa were watching the end of the AFC Championship on tv in the living room at home and Timber was stunned by this turn of event. Gloriosa on the other hand, thought it was a good game. Timber was hoping the Jagaurs would take on his favorite team the Philidaphia Eagles, but nope the Patriots won and are going to the Super Bowl with them. Now Timber has a huge hatred for the Patriots since his dad lets him watch the Super Bowl back in 2005 because like him, his dad was also an Eagles fan and Timber, Gloriosa and their parents were from Philidaphia and they moved to Canterlot City seven years ago.
"I can't believe they won! Why did it have to be them?! Why!?" Timber's outburst made Gloroisa turn her attention to her little brother with an deadpan expression.
"Timber it was just a football game and I think your overreacting a little," She said. Gloriosa wasn't a fan of football like her brother and her dad, she was only hear to watch the game with him only because she had nothing better to do.
Timber turns to his sister with a horrified face. He then, shifts it to confusion and anger. "Just a football game? It's more then that, it's NFL. Do you know what it stands for?"
His sister just sighs and answers it. "National Football Legaue?"
"NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEGAUE! The best football show ever. And the Philidaphia Eagles are number one in my book so don't you forget it," Timber then went to his room and pulled out a green jersey shirt from the second top drawer and heads back to the living room to show it to Gloriosa.
He unravels the green jersey shirt to reveal a Philipdhila Eagles shirt with number nine on it. "This is what a true Eagles fan wears. No Patriots fan or Cowboys fan deserves this. I will wear this jersey shirt of Nick Foles and show my support for the Eagles when they win the Super Bowl and get even with the Patriots."
Gloriosa only stares at him for a good few seconds before getting up from the couch. "I'm gonna go to bed now, Timber. I suggest you do the same," She leaves to her room while Timber just stared at her with the expression of shock in his face when she just doesn't care about the Eagles. But Timber regain his composure with a confident look on his face.
"I know you can do it. I know you can win," He said quietly to himself before heading to his room to sleep.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day at the park, Timber was wearing his Eagles jersey shirt as well as wearing an Eagles hat since it was stylish in his opinion. He was sitting on the bench in a very good mood until he hears a familiar voice calling him.
"Hello, Timber," Timber's mood was now sour when he turn around and looks at his rival known as Flash Sentry. Flash was wearing a Patriots jersey shirt and he too was wearing a Patriots hat. He was walking over to the bench and gave Timber a smug grin on his face.
"Are you ready for the Eagles to lose to the Patriots again?" Flash ask, folding his arms around him.
Timber got up and glares at him. "The Eagles are gonna win this year and we will not lose."
Flash only scoffs. "Please, do you think that's gonna happen? You and I both know that the Patriots are better."
"Yeah, better at cheating! Seriously, that's what they do," Timber retorted causing Flash to roll his eyes.
"I don't care if they cheated, all I care about is seeing them win again at the Super Bowl," Timber didn't like Flash more then the New England Patriots. He wanted to punch him, but of course, he knows better to never assault him in public because he didn't want the cops to show up to arrest him for attacking a citizen.
Timber then got into Flash's face who was still smirking at him. "You know what, I really hate the Patriots and you. You both make me sick to my stomach."
"Aww, does the baby want a bottle? Well, tough, the Patriots are gonna win and there is nothing you can do about."
"You know they lost to the Giants twice at two Super Bowls, right?"
"Don't you dare talk about that in front of me. It was a fluke and they don't deserve to be the champs."
"Sure, whatever you say. You know the Patriots' coach is also a cheater."
"Bill is a good coach. He never cheats. the news about him is making it up."
"The Game was rigged and they bribe the ref."
"Timber. Timber. Timber. You need to understand that it was fake."
"It wasn't FAKE!? It was real and true."
Flash scoffs at this. "You must be desperate if you think the Eagles can win. I mean the Patriots made nine Super Bowl appearance. How many Super bowl appearence did the Eagles made?"
Timber looks down and sighs knowing he knew the answer to that question. "They only made two appeances at the Super Bowls."
Flash grins a bit wider at the answer. "Two appeances for the Eagles. The Patriots won them all."
Timber looks up and was now smiling at him. But, it wasn't a friendly smile it was a boastful one and Flash didn't like that.
"Why are you smiling?" He ask, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, I did forget about the part where the Patriots lost to the Bears a long time ago. They may not be the Eagles, but they did kick their butts," Timber replies with a smirk of his own.
Flash's left eye twitch and grabs Timber by the jersey shirt to pull him closer to him. "You never talk about that either. If their is one thing I hate is anybody reminding me about the lost of my favorite team. You are this close to pushing it, Timber Spruce. You. Are. This. Close!"
Timber was still smirking despite the angry look on Flash's face. Flash lets him go as he puts his hands in his pockets. Timber dusted off his Eagles jersey shirt before looking at Flash again. "Tom Brady has a broken hand and Rob Gronkowski is Suffering a concussion ."
"Tom is gonna make it to the Super Bowl and so is Rob. Besides Carson Wentz is out of the Super Bowl and you got that stupid Nick Foles? How pathetic." Flash said with a boastful look.
Now Timber is the one with the eye twitch. He didn't like it when somebody insults his favorite Eagle player and he also hates it when someone mentions Carson's injury. Timber lets out a weird roar which made anyone who hears him from earshot turn their attention to Flash and Timber. Flash gave him a blank stare as if he never heard him make that sound before.
Timber points his finger at him with a rageful look on his face. "The Eagles are gonna win and you will be sorry!"
Flash again regains his composure with a cocky grin. "I'm gonna be sorry? Please, Timber. You can't expect a miracle to just happen. Tell you what. Why don't we make a bet."
Timber look confused by this, but he didn't want to back down from a bet. Timber was really good at winning bets no matter how weird they are. "Ok, Flash. You want a bet? You got a bet. Just name it."
"If the New England Patriots win, you have to wash my car for two months," Flash said as he motions to his car a few feet away from him.
"Ok, but if the Eagles win, you have to dress like a chicken while playing a trumpet in front of everyone at the park after the Super Bowl on monday after school." Timber said. He held out his hand in front of Flash who also put his hand out at him and they shake hands.
"You and the Eagles are going down," He said to him quetly.
"No. You and the Patriots are going down," He retorted to him quietly.
They both let go of their hands and went their separate ways from the park. On the other side of the park, Gloriosa Daisy and Twilight Sparkle were watching the whole thing from the picnic table when they were having a nice chat before Timber and Flash starts arguing about their favorite team and the Super Bowl.
"Does Timber always roars when he feels insulted?" Twilight ask Gloriosa with a worried look.
Gloriosa only shrugs. "I don't know, but this is my first time I heard him making that sound."
"He really loves his football team doesn't he?" Twilight looks a bit curious about it. She knows about Timber Spruce but she didn't know he was a football fan as well as an Eagles fan.
"Well, me and Timber grew up in Philidaphia," Gloriosa replied with a bit of emotion. She looks left and right and motions Twilight to come closer which she did. "Are you a Giants fan?"
That question got her off guard. "Y-yes. But why are you asking me that?"
Gloriosa only smirks and whispers into her ear. "Because secretly, I'm a football fan too. Plus, I'm also a Giants fan."
She unzips hear jacket and reveals a Giants jersey shirt in front of Twilight who looks at it in awe.
"I don't believe it. Are you really a-" She was cut off when Gloriosa nodded. Twilight let out squeal of delight. "This is so great. Why didn't you tell your brother about that?"
"If he knew I was a Giants fan, he'll just ask me questions about it. Say, did you watch the Super Bowl forty two and forty six?" Gloriosa ask with a smile.
"Did I? I can't believe they beat the Patriots twice." Twilight replied with excitement in her face.
"I know right, those are my favorite Super bowl Moments," Both girls squeal in delight, making the birds fly away. "You wanna go to the mall and buy a poster of Eli Manning?"
"Oh, I love him. He's so cute. But don't tell Timber I said that or he'll think I'm cheating on him," Twilight blush at that commit.
While Gloriosa was a little okay with Twilight dating her brother, she giggles at her reddish face of embresement and will keep the 'Twilight and Eli' a secret. "I'll keep that in mind."
With that, the two girls get up from the picnic table and headed to the mall.
