Speed vs. Skill

I really wanted to draw this pic I thought that it would be really awesome if Wilt met my fave OC, Jadell the Kineceleran

Jadell is really athletic and she loves to try new sports, basketball being her favorite

I might draw Wilt with Aqua and Split separately later on

STORY:

Wilt was taking a nice stroll through the downtown area. It was a bright and sunny day and he was starting to feel claustrophobic being inside for three days straight, just waiting for the rain to let up. And at last, it did, much to his relief.

The 10 foot Imaginary Friend was approaching the town's basketball court, where he could hear someone playing there already. Figuring he had nothing else going on and to see if he could play a game with the person, Wilt picked up his pace.

Once he reached the court, his good eye widened at what he saw. Zipping back and forth on the court on what looked like wheels attached to her feet was a light blue skinned creature. She wore a violet jersey with a green '8' on the front and blue shorts over her sleek and aerodynamic body. She had her long red and black hair tied back into a ponytail, a purple sweatband keeping the rest of it out of her heart-shaped face.

Her eyes were bright green and almond shaped with black streaks extending out from the tops and bottom of them. Her skinny arms had blade-like extensions at the elbows and instead of fingers, she had what looked like gleaming black claws. A long tail that was striped black and blue held her balance as she continued to glide back and forth across the blacktop at a speed Wilt had never witnessed before.

Wilt had never seen a Friend like her before, and he had seen many odd ones during his time at Foster's. He continued to gawk at her, his jaw open wide. The creature noticed that she had company, smiled, and skated towards him, calling out "Hello!". Wilt snapped out of his stupor, shaking his head, and looked down at her.

"Oh! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to intrude or stare, it's just that I...um...I..." Wilt bit his lip, trying to figure out a good excuse that wouldn't make him sound more like a big creeper than he already felt.

The creature giggled and waved his apology aside. "Chill, dude. It's okay. I got a lot of stares today and just learned to ignore them. You'd think no one here as seen an alien before."

Wilt's eye widened. "Alien?! You're an alien?!"

The alien nodded. "Sure am! I'm what is known as a Kineceleran from the planet Kinet. We're one of the fastest species in the universe. But because my homeworld literally lives life too fast, I decided to come here and slow down a bit."

"Wow," Wilt gasped. "That's amazing!"

"Yeah, but it can be a pain sometimes too. But this place seems to be full of aliens, so I don't know why people are so shocked when they see me."

It was then when Wilt realized the alien's mistake. "Oh, um. Sorry, but there aren't any aliens here. What you're actually seeing are Imaginary Friends."

The alien tilted her head. "Imaginary...Friends? What are those?"

"Oh, um, figments thought up by children, and sometimes teenagers, who become real so the child can play with them."

"Oooohh. So, are you an Imaginary Friend, too?"

"Sure am! My name is Wilt!" Wilt extended his only hand out to her. The alien smiled and gently took it in her right claws.

"Hello, Wilt. My name is Jadell, but my friends call me Jade."

"Jadell, that's a pretty name." Wilt said generously, causing her to blush.

"Thanks, I like Wilt, too."

"You like basketball?" Wilt asked, pointing at the ball she was holding under her left arm.

"Uh, yeah. I just picked it up today. I live in Bellwood, which isn't that far from here, really. I wanted to get out so I started running across the country, seeing the sites and all that. When I found this town, I saw some kids playing this game but when I went to ask if I could join them, they ran."

"Aw, I'm so sorry to hear that." Wilt truly did feel bad for the alien, knowing what it was like to feel rejected for how he looked. His eye then caught sight of a long red scar on the left side of her tail. "Um, if you don't mind me asking, how did you get that scar?"

Jadell looked down as she held her tail up to see what he was talking about. "Oh, I forgot I had that. It was just a little run-in with an alien containment guy a few years back. He has a bit of a grudge against us for some reason."

"Well, maybe he just does't understand you, like I do." Wilt smiled, trying to make her feel better. Jadell smiled back and laughed.

"Yeah, I guess so! Thanks, Wilt. You're such a friendly guy!"

Wilt smiled his big, trademark grin. "Hey, you want to come back home with me? There's many Friends there like me and they won't judge you for who you are or run from you! Plus we can play basketball in peace without being gawked at! What do you say?"

Jadell placed a claw on her chin in thought. "Okay! Sounds good! Race ya!"

And with that, Jadell handed Wilt the ball and then sped off, a blue, red, black, and purple speed streak trailing behind her, leaving Wilt to stare after her in amazement. He then smiled and ran off after her, his long legs eating up the distance easily.
