JayJay stepped off his unicycle, removed his helmet, and wiped the sweat away from his eyes and forhead. He couldn't believe it. He had just crossed the finish line and he was FIRST! He had WON!
The other young clowns whod finished right after JayJay came up to him and pounded his back in congratulations. JayJay just nodded and thanked them, then congratulated them in return.
Coach Gelpham had been standing at the finish line. "Good job son!" the big auguste cried and honked his nose. "You did Clownton high good!"
JayJay nodded wearily and took a towel from a pile nearby. As he wiped himself he looked around for Pinky; he couldn't see her. 'Stupid,' he told himself, 'she's back at the starting line, the girls' race starts just after the boys'.'
Suddenly JayJay found himself caught in a tight hug from behind. "My little brother, the cross country unicycle champion!" Jen's voice cried into his ear. Not just JayJay's cheeks, but his mouth and nose became much redder in embarrassment, and the white in his face had a reddish undertone.
If he had any hair on his scalp, the noogies his sister was giving him would probably have made it fall out.
