Majic lived in Basketball Paradise. In this paradise all the kids that love basketball come here. There are basketballs everywhere. They come in different patterns colors and names. The reason why everybody loved coming here was because every basketball had their own special powers. The little kids come here and pick their first basketball.
When Majic was a baby, her parents were taken away by two twin boys that wanted their own unique basketballs. Majic had to grow up all on her own.
“I wish my parents were here so I can ask them questions,” cried Majic.
All of the other basketballs made fun of Majic because she was not fully filled with air and no little kid would ever choose to Majic to be their special basketball.
Majic would sit on the rack everyday and watched the other basketballs bounce around having fun.
“I wish I could have special powers like the others so somebody can choose me,” wished Majic.
The other basketballs made her cry when they told her she would never be like them.
“You are a LOSER!” “You don’t have special powers like we do.” “Ha-ha!” The basketballs said.
One day, a strange guy came to Majic’s rack.
“I wonder what that grey thing with a handle is. What does that do?” Majic wondered.
The guy picked Majic up and filled her with air. She was so scared. She didn’t know what was happening.
“I feel so weird. What is he doing to me?” Majic thought.
When he was done, Majic felt brand new. She wanted to try out her new body. Majic wanted to see if she had special powers or not, but then she got sad. She remembered that basketballs do not find out what their special powers are until the chosen little kid comes and picks them.
“Aww man, I can bounce and play now, but I do not know what my special powers are. I hope I get chosen soon.”
Majic waited on her rack hoping that the right person would pick her.
Majic waited day by day hoping, but no luck. The other basketballs kept telling her that she was never going to get chosen.
“Why don’t you just give up? Nobody is going to want you, you are not good enough and you are ugly! What an ugly hat!”
She was going to give up until one day one day a little girl with two pony tails came in. the little girl had basketball shorts on and a basketball sweater. The little girl’s name was Emily.
Emily came in the store happy because she was about to pick the basketball that she was going to use for the rest of her life. Emily walked through the aisles but she didn’t find anything she liked. She went to the last aisle and a black hat caught her eye. Emily got closer and saw Majic, she fell in love.
Emily did not look any further because she knew that Majic was the basketball for her. Emily took her home and started practicing right away. Majic finally realized what her special powers were but then she realized that Emily did not pick her because of her special powers. Emily picked her because of Majic’s hat.
“She likes me the way I am and not because I have special powers. I was special before and I still am.”
From that day on, Majic never doubted herself and her powers. She worked as hard as she could and it paid off. Majic made Emily’s handling skills much greater and she makes most of her shots. Emily was the best girl basketball player there was thanks to Majic. Emily went to the WNBA and took Majic along with her no matter where she went.
