Name: Quixilver's Stepped on the Cracks "Akuun"
Gender: Female
Prompt: (299/300)
Akuun has been cautiously optimistic her whole life, it seems a grey cloud follows her around. Her bad luck was limited to missteps in mud puddles and being just a single point off to get a qualifying score in the different sports she played. However, the day of her greatest misfortune was quite a bit different.
This day was her 5th MACH attempt. She had come close with two 2nd places already and was confident this round would be the one. Her jumps were flawless, she weaved effortlessly, and made every contact. Her score was revealed: 100. Her and the Quixilver crew were all jumping with joy! They exit the area and watch the following runs. Almost everyone is doing great but no other perfect scores.
It’s the end of the day and the final run; a beautiful long haired collie struts egotistically to his start line. He passes a cheeky glance at Akuun before getting his release cue. This dog looked like he was floating through the course, like nothing troubled him. Another dog on the sidelines leans over to Akuun, “this is the dog that hasn’t had a single NQ in his career”. Her heart sinks and ears ring. The judges announce: 100.
It’s time for a tie breaker. It will be a coin flip, and Akuun is chosen to make the call. The coin is flipped high into the air. “Tails!” It feels like slow motion while they wait for it to come down. It bounces on the turf and lands upright, slowly spinning down to what’s going to be tails! Right then, a massive gust of wind came from the side. There was no way. It had blown the coin over to head. Akuun was gutted.
To this day she still hasn’t received her MACH.
