### Friendship 101

(The Upply, Spike, Akita and Vania are playing volleyball at the Sportacular Spectacular Stadium.)

**Plundar**: C'mon, Korgran! Hit the ball!

**Korgran**: Here comes Korgran! (He hits the ball to Vania.)

**Spike**: Vania, catch!

**Vania**: (Grunts, as she tosses the ball to Fungus.)

**Fungus**: I've got this one! (He hits the ball.)

**Spike**: Akita, the ball!

**Akita**: (Tosses the ball. Korgran tries to catch it, but fails.) Whoo-Hoo! I did it!

**Korgran**: Uh, good skills, wolf girl.

**Plundar**: I wish I can do this skills like Akita did.

**Akita**: Sure can. There is another skill that you had never used: teamwork!

**Plundar**: Teamwork? As of us playing together?

**Vania**: Yes. Teamwork is one part of good sportsmanship.

**Spike**: Good sportsmanship is one of the life lessons that everyone can learn from sports. It will understand and value good sportsmanship while making sure they have a safe and fun sports experience.

**Vania**: It may seem hard to define, but its hallmarks include being able to win without gloating, respecting one's opponents, and being able to lose gracefully.

**Akita**: Whenever you win or you lose, try your best because it was part of the game.

**Fungus**: It is also important to play fair during the game. Cheating is not acceptable, especially when you use your elemental power or magic.

**Plundar**: Whether your team wins or loses, it's important to show respect for the effort of the other team. If the other team wins, accept defeat, acknowledge their abilities, and move on. If your team wins, resist bragging—that's what it means to be a gracious winner.

**Korgran**: And you know how to end a game on a positive note, whether or not they won, Korgran will still have a handshake, a hi-five or a shoulder bump. (Plundar and Korgran did a shoulder bump.)

**Spike**: Every skills can help them manage other parts of their lives, and help them develop into mature, respectful, and successful grown-ups in the later on. So why not we celebrate by drinking bubble tea at Boba Sweets Shack?

**Fungus**: Or, maybe... (He poofs a radio and plays the music.)

**[All]**
It isn't always easy
Friendship can be hard
But for every friend I have
I trot that extra yard (We shine)
**Plundar**: (Simultaneously.) This song? I find a good vibe to this.

**Korgran**: (Simultaneously.) Then Korgran and my friends will sing this!

**Spike**: (Laughs.)

**[The Upply, Spike, Akita and Vania]**
I've always got your back (Shine bright)
For any goal you dream (Brighter)
Together or apart (Shine bright)
We make the perfect team (Together)
Together
We shine
Shine bright
Brighter
Together!
**Vania**: Well then, chat you all later! (She winks.)
