Very Nice! Lets see the Colts beat these chicks!

If I had a photo editor I'd change it to the correct color and name.  Though I'll leave it as is.

naw..this is good..gives  everyone  an idea of what they look,like

After having went over a few routine ideas with the girls, and warm ups.  Celeste went into the cafeteria and waited in line.  She turned and looked about to see if she could catch Lu-Ti, so they could discuss the ideas she had tossed out before and during the warm up drills.

Finally through the line with her food, she found a table and began going through the various things articulately deciding what to keep, put away for now, and what to think about putting away for good.

  Lu-Ti came over  with a tray of fruit, cheese and a milkshake. She smiled...almost had  a  fight after practice!..Bronk and Steele..but a bunch of the bigger guys  broke it up!  she takes a sip of the shake,sort of good..them being  that fired up...yes?


 mthen she tilts her head,what are you going over?

Celeste felt Lu-Ti approach and managed to look up long enough to see her feet stand by her before she spoke.

Everything, she said.  Wondering how I'll manage, but knowing there's no way out.  Not that I'd really want an out, but still.  A bit to take in so quickly.  I'll make it, no doubt.

She flopped the current cheer outfits book into Lu-Ti's hands.  We are on a real team now, she said.  We need some kick ass outfits.  The ones we have, leave me with a bitter taste in my mouth.  It's like I'm back in high school.  She tossed another thicker catalog at her.

The ones highlighted are the ones I think we need to reconsider getting, she said.  We've got a game coming up...soon.  I want us to have one of these a couple of days before in case we need to be fitted and things changed.

  Lu-ti grabs the books  and begins leafing through them, after  a few minutes ( and a few mouthfuls  of food) she says,These  are nice..the ones  picked out..but...Look...all everyonme hears  about is the Cowgirls..same little  comeboy outfits..everybody fusses over, because the Media helps them... I watched the Flight crew  for the Jets? they have  some great  outfits..but..they are...you know...'safe'?...Denver's  grils are just a copy of Dallas...Sandiego's girls  aren't bad..but there is no Media effect?

  She leans over and says,we need to be daring...something that Sells  US...but also the Team...lets face it..if the  Cowboys weren't playing in the superbowl all those years, the Cowgirls  would be an after thought...I think we have  to Lure  people in..Men, women, geeks, jocks..everybody...not just reley on our name?  You know?

 I also think we  should challenge the  Other  teams cheerleaders to  a flagfootball tornment..I bet ESPN would pick it up, if  we do it  in the off season..and we could have a couple players coach!...I know  one i would ask!!  she giggles.

Daring, eh? she says and with an evil chuckle.  She tosses another catalog into Lu-ti's hand.  Showing off the very risque sexy cheer outfit.

I think that would definitely catch some peoples attention, she said pointing to it.  I'd love to schedule a match against the other girls.  But who you'd have coaching us, would be?

She looked at Lu-Ti cocking up her eyebrow.

  she colors a bit,..well..Adam...he's  almost a coach any way..and well...

  If you want, I will send  an e-mail to the other teams..AND..ESPN..that  way..anyone who turns  us  down, will be known...even if they have good reason? we will be the ones who tried to start it...and it will bring us  some looks from ESPN...

then she looks at the   outfit  pointed out,...oh...my...now you'er talking!

Celeste patted Lu-Ti on the shoulder.

Thatta girl, she said laughing.  Of course, unlike that girl, we'll still were cheer panties.    It will get the much needed attention that we'll need for the first game.  Also much publicity at how racy it is.  If it is too contradictory, we can modify the first outfit I chose.  Though I don't think many of the girls will mind showing off a lil something.

Let's proceed with the email and proposition, I'll get our girl and have these ordered and sized pronto, she added.

Standing up, she picked up everything.  Before leaving she turned to Lu-ti.  I think I'll make sure to save Adam's number and jersey just for you.  Me on the other hand, I've no clue.

  she  blushed  a bit,well..he's  just really nice...Just think..if  the dragons  win the Super bowl  and we win ..the..um..Cheer bowl?

  You want bme to see Yuto and ask him for the E-mails, or do you want to contact the other  Captains yourself?

With a nudge towards Lu-Ti, she grinned.

Of course, you are my second in command, she said.  So of course, why not.  I'll talk to Adam and see what he would think of the idea.  I'll even show him the uniform idea too.

With a wink, she was off in the direction of the cafeteria to eat.

  she giggles  again, and  takes her tray away, then heads off to Yuto's Office.

  bronk had caught his TDP and after celebrating a bit  with the tohers in the endzone..he stopped  and pointed to the Dragons  running across the cables  as they roared  and shot  fire...then began to Jog to the sidelines..as  He looked over to the Dragonettes, he shouylded  Lu=Ti's  name. when she looked he  Flicked the football to her...She  caught it with a look of surprise on her  face...looking at the BAll  and then to Celeste... As  Bronk headed to the  bench.

With idea's fresh in her mind, Celeste returns back to the cheer area from the sidelines making a few mental notes on the approach of the next cheer.

Let's make these Redskins start shaking their tomahawks, she said to Lu-Ti.  Pinning the fact that the first team was out on the field while the other team kept bringing in more players, she kept insults to a minimum but enough to peak the rivalry in the opposing team.

She looked to Lu-Ti.  Whatcha plan on doing with that ball? she asked.  The other girls were looking at Lu-Ti and giggling.  I think you might want to go out shopping for something nice in the coming days, especially if we win this evening.

Keeping the other girls on their toes and in form, Celeste returned to formation often looking at Lu-Ti and her reaction.

..i don't know..am i allowed to keep it!... she looked at Celeste with a mock frown  as  she  returned to smile as they began to cheer, she sat the ball down  near her cheering gear, and raised  an eyebrow,..something nice?

Letting the other girls lead on with the cheer, she paused and looked over at Lu-Ti.

I don't think that if he knew you wouldn't be able to have it, that he wouldn't have tossed it your way, she commented.  Yes, nice.  I have that instinct that you may be asked out or something like that.

Who knows? she said randomly and shrugged.  If you want to roam through my closet you are welcome to.

She gave Lu-Ti that type of look that she knew what type of clothing she had in her closet.

really?  she looked  to the bench  at Adam and Ben putting on thier helmets , and running back onto the filed after the punt...

 ..I..I...really?

Really, she said definitely.  I think I have just the outfit for you.

She gave Lu-Ti a wink and then looked over at LaTasha.  I think you should work on her hair, she said to the other girl.  We want our girl to razzle dazzle our Bomber.

LaTasha grinned.  Sure enough, she said.  I can arrange that.  I'll have to pull out mah curlers.

 The  Girl Blushed  a bit, but it didn't stop her  from smiling..Just as they looked back to the  field, Bronk had domolished the Returnman.

 The  Wideout  was jacked up now, as he  bounced his  way back to the bench

  shortly after the man was taken away, the defense clamped down on the Skins..but they sent  2 recievers vertical, to try to catch the new guys napping...

LaTasha and Celeste looked between each other giggling.  Though Celeste was serious about getting Lu-Ti and Adam out on a date.  Knowing Adam like she did, he needed a break from the books.

With that in mind, with the next down it was Lucas who had made the touch down in the end zone.  The girls began spelling out the players name and matching letters of his name with the win.

After taking a quick breather and splash of water upon her face, Celeste came back out ready to lead the girls after a rough finish to the first quarter.  Aggravated about as much as some of the players with the plays that the defense had brought forth letting the redskins get TDs much less yardage.

Working on a few different cheers to help get the offense team back in action, Celeste looked over at the sidelines and then to the field to see where everyone was placed and who was or wasn't on the field.

When Adam injured someone, she simply shook her head.  Lu-Ti, he's already sending in the medics, she said laughing.

  Lu-Ti shook her head I saw him  hurt a player real bad when Sims  was coaching against Mellon State..he hit  a linebacker and broke his leg..they say that cost Sims the  DIII championship, the Linebacker never played again..at least..not that i know of..

Not knowing how much Lu-Ti knew about Adam and her own history, Celeste shook her head.

Yeah, I know, she commented.  I was there during the game.  It was a mere fluke.  Horrible choice they made on Adam's behalf.

Getting ready for the next set of cheers, she looked over the field quickly and began the next crowd wind up.

  the  Crowd was im a mix right now...some of the people in the stands had been Old Jags fans..watching a team give them hope..then crash and burn...others were new..they wanted  a NFL team..and a winner..not the Joke that was here the last 10 years or so.

 Each big Play the  Dragons made..brought new home..new joy to the fans..not just in these stands..but int he over flow in the  BAseball and soccor stadiums, and those at home watching on TV. All across the nation, in the  national televised game...people were going to learn about the Dragons.

  every big play  by the redskins, made  the Dragon fans get that tightness in thier belly..as if..any moment..the Dragons  would fail...and thier hopes dashed...

 Fro rhe Cherleaders. nearer to the stands ,then the players,..they could almost feel the crowd teetering  on the edge of sheer joy..or utter heartbreak.

Celeste could only guess what it felt like to the fans of the former team, the Jags.   She could feel the exuberation from the fans of the new team, the Dragons.  Wanting to show the welcoming to the fans, that she felt when she came here and becoming the lead cheer girl.  She turned the kindness that she received back onto the fans, either loyal ones to the Jags or new ones to the Dragons.

She began to impromptu a cheer at the top of her lungs, poms in hands.

We were the Jags
Proud and Esteemed
Now heres the Dragons
Determined and Proud...

We are the Dragons
We are the Dragons..

Roar!!!

  At first, a few  who  were paying attention to the words  pointed  and smiled..they hollered  back, those  around them picked it  up..and like some odd Virus, it spread around the  stadium, with loud..elated.. voices...

  after  showering  and changing into jeans and a floered T-shirt, Lu-ti was trying to get her  hair into a ponytail.

  the other girls had quickly showered, or simply changed  and put thier Uniforms in the collecting  hamper to be sent out, they wanted to get ready for the Vitory party at  "The Son".

  Lu-ti looked at the football on the bench by her Purse and Gym bag, she looked at Celeste,..so?..I get to keep the football?

Having gotten a bit more dressed up than most of the other girls, Celeste was near her locker drying out her curling hair with mousse.  Hearing Lu-Ti ask a question, she paused and walked to see what she was looking at and nodded.

I honestly don't think Adam would want it to be any other way, she said smiling.  He's a good guy.  Like I said, I'd take it.  Heck even make him sign it for you along with some of the other guys.

 she giggled, have him sign it? Like a fan? I would be embarrassed to ask...I cannot  take a football with me to the party...someone might take it!!

 she frowns looking at  Celeste,i was going  to go home and get changed..you look like you are  already...um..ready?

Celeste shrugged and turned to head back and finish getting ready.

Why not? she commented.  Don't you want him thinking he's something special to you...other than the fact that he is to the team.  Hell might make the other guys envious.

She winked at Lu-Ti and went back to working on her hair.

 she  frowned  a bit  as she looked at the ball.well...maybe..i will take it..I will feel strange  asking him to sign it though...Now? should i wear a Dragon's Tee shirt..or one with a pattern?

In reply to Lu-Ti (msg #34):

Celeste turned and gave Lu-Ti a look as if she should know the question.

Really? she asked jokingly.  Depends on how much you want to put yourself out there, L.  If you want to be friendly with Adam, then be casual and comfortable.  If you want to grab his attention...well, I think you have the picture.

Celeste could only hope that Lu-Ti was serious about wanting to hook up with Adam.  Otherwise, she would feel rather silly giving her this advice.

  She looks pensive for a moment,But? I mean...there are lot of ladies  going to be there tonight? And ...well... how can I....

 she  shrugs,..Maybe the flower one?... and some  nice jeans?

Celeste gave herself one last look in the mirror before she turned to look at Lul-Ti.

Yes, she commented. There will be other ladies.  However, not many have the advantage as you to know someone that knows Adam previously and will help you out if you want it.

Giving Lu-Ti a wink, she headed out of the locker room and towards the club.

  She titled her head and  Followed, Putting  the football in her shoulder bag and walked  quickly to catch up to  Celeste,Wait!...What?  You knew him before..where?

Knowing that there would be a team bus waiting for whoever needed a ride from the stadium to the team club, she began walking the long corridor towards the exit.

She heard Lu-Ti stumble for words and scurry towards here, a playful smirk crossed her face.

Yes, I know him, she commented once the other girl caught up.  When I was taking high school tours to various camps and then cheerleading camps.  Meet up and have been friends since.

  Lu-ti followed her  as she  thought  for a moment,..I thought i was the only one to know him, from when the Amota's Brought me over  with them, to see Yuto  play foootball...this is most surprising...

 as they took thier  seats,  another shuttle  bus was pulling behind this one, and they pulled out, while the other one waited for more  people.

 Her eyes  shifted  towards  Celeste...so? what was he like back then? I only know him..like he is..and that is not very much..

Not really different at all, she said taking a seat aboard the shuttle.  Just more mature and experienced.

She was ready to get her drink and her grove on, whichever came first.

With a day of resting behind her, Celeste promptly makes her way to the stadium not to practice but to make some calls for Cheer promotional shows.  One of those being at a local hospital for all the girls to show up in uniform.

No, today was not a day of fun, in Celeste's definition but work.  Dressed up in black slacks, a nice blue button up blouse and heels she made her way to work with the PR rep for the Dragons to make requests and work on ones already submitted.

However, she may stop by to check out the guys on the field and see how things were going.  She did like to watch them play to get cues on what to cheer for.  Actually watching the game and learning their moves behind the scene helped a lot.

  Outside the stadium complex a Dark Green Bus , painted like a  Dragon, waited. The driver   had a  tee shirt on that saidt, 'Dragon Staff'.

 He leaned  up against the bus  waiting for the cheerleaders to come   , and what the  schedule was for thier trip.

Making her way to the PR room, the girls all came running towards her in their uniforms as requested ready to board the bus to the Childrens Hospital to make an appearance.  Getting their agenda, Celeste decided best to catch up with Adam upon their return.

Everyone ready, she asked as they headed outside to the bus.

  Lu-ti  came up to her  and handed her   a clipboard with a list on names on it,from what i undestand? these kids  are ..REAL...dragon Fans and are...the worst off...it was suggested  we see them first?..however , the Hospital is so grateful..they will allow us  to tour, and enteratin as we wish, we just have to  check with thier PR girl who will meet us when we pull in...

Seeing Lu-Ti coming with their agenda, she gave her friend and co-leader a bright smile.

Great!  She took a look over the agenda and realized just how busy they would be today.  Let's get our hustle on so that we can see these first.

She pointed to the ones that Lu-Ti mentioned were in special wards.  Making her way towards the bus, she plugged in her bluetooth piece and slipped the phone into its belt clip.

So how was your night at the club? she asked curiously.

  Lu-ti   smiled  slightly,..I had a very good  time...Ben is  a very  nice  man...I...I think he might have  had a good time too...


 then she  looked out of the corner of her eyes  to  Celeste,..how did you ever  get Adam on the floor!...the best i ever did, was get him to come  out for the Stomp  in May! And that was only because  Yuto announced his name...

  Then she added,you too vanished...very quickly after that?

Celeste looked up casually at Lu-Ti as if nothing had went on, well nothing serious or naughty that is.  She shrugged as she made her way out of the complex and towards the bus that was waiting for the two girls.

Eh, I was tired, ready to go home, she said blandly.  Adding to what Lu-Ti asked about getting Adam on the floor as if she was going over a cheer routine.  I think I had too many.  He took me back home.  As for him on the dance floor, remember I knew him a few years ago.  I just kinda have that knack to pull even the less sociable person out on a floor.  With Adam, you simply make him do it.  Don't ask, just do.  If he allows himself to sit in the shadows, he'll basically run over different runs, routes, maneuvers; that's not what he needs.  Or wants really, is a bizarre way, even he needs a break from all the football stuff.  You just have to figure out how.

She wasn't struggling, but it was on the harder side of easy to keep the smile down.  As long as she kept thinking it was business, it was easier to keep the excited feelings she had at bay.

So any future dates with Mr. Hope? she said hoping to change the subject.

  The  #2 Dragonette smiled , i do not know..that will be  up to him...He , too has a focus on the  game...I wonder if that's  why the coaches   put them together ?

  They reacehd  the  Bus  and  climbed in  the front seat open for the two of them,..how  about you and Adam?...more dances?

It probably is one of the main reasons, she said as she boarded the boat and took the seat next to her friend.

She gave another nonchalant shrug.  Maybe.  Maybe not.  Who knows.  I might find myself pulling Steele out on the floor if the occasion calls for it.

She turned and gave a disgusted look the opposite way.

If so, I'll be the lucky one, she said going back to focus on the schedule and handing another copy to the bus driver when he approached.

  As ther  bus  rolled   towards  New Jacksonville's Children's Hospital, Lu-ti said  ...a bot  off hand,..you know?...I think  Adam  might  like you...
\
 her  eyes shifted  as she  smiled  a bit.

Celeste was completely caught off guard with that.  To the point that she stumbled with something to say.

Uhm, what would make you say that, she said awkwardly shifting in her seat.  She began to fiddle at her outfit and items for the days events in her hand.

  She smiles  abit,..I too...know Adam. He is differant  when you are around...like..afraid to make the  fool of himself? I see him look during the game... she shakes  her head,he seldom pays   any attention to anyone  but the players in a game...unless..someone  causes him too...like..a  fan with the  nigh mouth or something?

  Nudging  Celeste,..maybe you  are to ask him out?

In reply to Lu-Ti (msg #53):

Celeste remained quiet for what seemed like an eternity having heard what Lu-Ti had said.  Also knowing what Adam had said about her.  She really didn't know how to say what she already know.  So, instead, she pulled up a picture of their picture she had taken and he had signed that was posted in her locker.  Yes, she had taken a picture of a picture.  Giddy, definitely.

Handing the phone to Lu-Ti, she thought words may be better to inform her friend than simply saying.

What if I said we already were? she said in a low tone as to not let the other girls onto the news.

Celeste left it at that awaiting her response.

  Lu-Ti's  Mouth went  wide  as she gasped...she covered  her Mouth with  her  free hand and Looked at Celeste, Celeste!..How...How did  you get him to.....

  her  eyes  went back to the Phone and, if possible her  eyes  got wider,Celeste!...You are   some  magic worker!  then she  squinted at the  phone,...is this a picture..of  your...picture?

  She looked back over her shoulder at the other Girls  who were  either  talking or  primping for the  Photo opts that  would be at the   Hospital, as  well as looking good  for the kids..( and doctors?)

  The Bus Pulls up. There  are alot  of  Nurses  and   Doctors  and  folks dressed up to see the Girls  arrive. Its not hard to see that the dressed up folks  are "friends of the Hospital" who get a chance to meet the Dragonettes close up before they even get into the Building..there is  tables  set up with   finger foods  and  softdrinks, and Juices...The Head of the Hospital is  there Dressed in a Poweder Blue  power suit  as she  waits for the Girls  to  leave the Bus ( and  the  Photos to begin!)

Celeste took back the phone as everyone was getting up.  She slipped it into the pocket of her blazer.  She shook her head briefly and shrugged with the clipboard in her hand.

I don't know if you would say it was magic or not, she said plainly.  Though I feel to be the lucky one, though I think its him that feels lucky.

She blushed ever so slightly at the comment of her picture.

Yes it is, she said.  If you notice in the corner where he signed it for me.  I did the same and signed one for him too.  Check out his locker some time.

  his Locker!...You went into thier Locker  room !...You are a daring person!  she is quiet for  a bit  as  they  move to head out the  door, Adam...yes...he would think he is lucky to have a person like you..he..is...um..the  romantic?

  The Bus  driver put his hand on the door lever,Alright Ladies....Time to meet the wolves!  he chuckle s as  he opens the door.

He is definitely a unique person to be around, especially off the field, out of the complex, campus even.  As for romantic, from what I've seen maybe, she said.  All kidding aside, how about you and Mr Hope.  I couldn't tell who was having more fun the other night, you or him. 

She shook her head at the bus driver as she exited the bus and made her greetings and shook hands with the hospital staff and others awaiting their arrival outside.

  Lu-Ti shrugged, but there was a soft smile on her face,..I guess?  I will find out  some where down the road?


 The  Hospital Head Took  Celeste's  Hand  and  intoduced her  self  as MAry Mones. She was  making sure to smile and Hold  Handshakes for the Camaras, and   she waved to the peoploe around her,Please?  Have your Girls  Mingle  a bit,  our  Friends of the Hospital  will introduce themselves..have a quick refreshment, and we  will go on the tour? How did you want to  do this?  are you going to break the squad up?  and visit like that, or the whole squad movbe as one...and....  she loks at a sheet that had Dragon's Logo on its letterhead, Mr. Yuto said   about  a few cheer routines in the Auditorim for  the  people we can get there?...you'er in Charge My dear...we really like having you here.. The Amota's  did  a biig thing  for JAcksonville when they Built this place....and You grils coming? well..no one has done that for the Kids before...

Hmm, she said to Lu-Ti before the Charge Head Staff came to her asking her what she would like for the girls to do.

Yes, Thank you for having us as well Ms Mones.  I figure it will be whatever is easiest on you as well, she said.  We have to take them into affect as well.

She looked to the girls and motioned them to enjoy themselves with food, drink, and mingling with the ones out here before they headed inside.

Well, Lu-Ti and myself had concurred together after we gained leadership with the squad to do something for the community more than just winning games and cheer competitions.  It wasn't so long ago that either of us were in the stands or on the sidelines rooting for our favorite team.  We know what we wanted and expect to return the favor.

Taking a water, she paused for a moment and greeted herself with some of the children that were out here and other staff members.  Making a few autographs and pictures with them.

I would think we would be wise to split the girls up into about 2-3 parties, unless someone asks for them specifically.  Then when we've finished that, then we can go to the auditorium and perform.  ANything else that I've not covered we can make up for afterwards.

Not only us as cheerleaders are thankful for this opportunity, but many of the football players are as well, to the Amotas for all they've provided for us.

  the  Suits  at the  outside brunch made certain to get thier pics  witht eh Cheerleaders. One  fellow  from the New JAcksonville Stonemasons Union had  his pic taken with Lu-ti holding  one end of the  big check,  Celeste the other, and He and  Mones in the middle.

  After the Pics where taken  Mones  smiled,Most of the Unions give a nice  donation every year..This  fellow is a Big Jacksonville fan, so he  added alot to it, just to get his picture with you girls!

  after the meet-n-greet was over, it was  time to move into the building to see the Kids  who they came to see..

  How shoulkd we do this then?

With all the pictures having been taken, Celeste looked to the Coordinator of this event and took a sigh for the next.  This always pulled at strings that she didn't like.  Not that she didn't like doing this, but it was very hard on her.

Let's head upstairs and see the kids, she said calm cool and collect as if nothing was wrong.  That's what we are here for.

She gave a bright smile though a lot of pain settled into her heart quickly.  She'd probably end up tackling a few of the equipment when she got back from holding back a lot of emotion.

  the Director lead them down the  hall, people standing out of the way to  let the pas. Some  folks in wheel chairs  waving at them, Nurses  peering over the counter of  nursing stations.

 They got to a bank of elevators. and  pointed to the  5th floor,all the  elevators  will stop  on the 5th floot, there you will come out on a section like this, the  Rooms go around   the Hub, a Hall way in each directions, if you split into  3 or  4 groups you can see more of the kids , and  a shorter time.

Celeste turned and looked at the Hospital Lead.

Time is of no concern for us, she said.  We are here for them.  I can't say the same for most of them.

Celeste looked at the girls splitting them in half and motioning to one half to go into the elevator with Lu-Ti.  The other half with her into the first elevator.  She gave Lu-Ti a small handheld walkie-talkie so that way if one of the patients wanted to see a certain girl on one side or the other, they could swap up.  Each girl took one hallway and made their way to the first room and set of patients.

  If  the Dragonettes expected to have  happy folks seeing them...they would have been quite, right...however...none of them  could have expected  what was to come, unless..they had  done something like this before.

 Perhaps, growing up, they stopped  at places during the holidays, or watched the  Pregame, or halftime pieces of the  College Allstar games , where the squads  would visit the  Shriner's Hospital.

 But this  was Jacksonville..New...Jacksonville....a Top that rose  from  its ashes...just as its fans, hoped its  football team would.

  when they exited the  BAnk of elevators...there they were,  a handful of the "walking wounded" those who could  walk..or at least, sit in a wheel chair..thier  little eyes growing wide at the sight of the women they had just seen on TV during the game..beauties..with poise..and  smiles...it was hard to tell which kids liked them more...The Boys..who are..boys..and enjoy the sight  of  good loooking ladies  , in the colors  of thier football team...or..the gilrs..who looked at these ladies...perhaps..harboring  a wish, that they might  oneday wear the uniform , such as they do!

 To the  Girls surprise..the Kids and thier Nurses shouted DRAGONETTES!...DRONGONETTES!..THERE AREN'T NONE BETTER..YES! YOU BET!

  the nurse in charge of the floor  Greeted  Celeste,he eyes  a bit moist,they...wantyed to cheer for yoou..they said...you have to do all the cheering..it might be nice..for  someone to cheer you...

   The Door to the Elevators  Opened  and Mrs  Amota stepped off, she smiled at the  group, and waved some men in...they each carried 5 boxes, she smiled  at Celsete,Please..I am so sorry..we did not have these on the bus for you...it was pointed out to us..by a member of the team..so we rushed these over...

  the Boxes  contained Dragon Tee-shirts..not  cheap giveawy jobs, but the kind they sold at the stadium..Green  with white lettering  and  with the Dragon Stomp Dragom wrapped  around  the waist..the shoulders  said   DRAGONS...the  Fron said , in smaller letters..Jacksonville. Mrs  Amota  bowed  slightly to Celeste, If it pleases you? I would stay..and  watch?

Celeste looked up as the group cheered them on a bright smile crossing her face.  The sound of the elevator did have her turning instinctively to see Mrs Amota come with boxes of shirts in their hand.  She strode towards her and put and arm around the older lady.

Yes, of course, come with us.  Celeste motioned for her girls to grab shirts and with a black sharpie she handed the pent and a shirt to the girls for them to sign the shirts.

Saying to the girls in the room with her.  Lets all sign these for the kids as we pass them out.  She began signing the first shirt.  You too Mrs Amota.

  TheKids  were excited, gettign a Visit from the  Jacksonville  Cheerleaders..AND..a freebee T-shirt...

 When  She gave  to the pen to Mrs  Amota, she bowed her head respectful, and  she signed  along  with the Girls, When there was a chance, she turned to  Celeste,..I thank you, for including me. We have been part of the  Community for generations , in Japan. It is nice to see, I can take  partt in something  in this new land as well...  she  smiled  at Celeste, her  eyes had a twinkle in them.

  The  Hopsital PR  people ( and..the  Local papers, as well as the Beat reporter  for ESPN) were snapping off  shots, they got the Hospital Admin, with Celeste  and Mrs Amota together.

   the  Kids ranged in effect from total Awe...to very very bashful....but the BAshful kids lit up like   the stadium, when one of the  Dragonettes   would  give them a hug, or sign a cast, or get thier pciture  with them.

  The Nurse who greeted them, waited  for the  Admin to move on to some   more  'photo opts',..I have never  seen them like this!...This  will be  the time of thier lives, that they talk about! I cannot  thank you enough!

 Mrs  Amota  Bowed to the  Nurse  and  move  a hand indicating  Celeste,  Ms De Luca is in Charge  of  my girls...they look at every request, and try to meet them, as best thier schedule can be....You must thank her...

  The  Nurse  smiled, again with moist eyes, she  took Celeste's hand  hand gave it a squeeze.

Celeste and the girls made their rounds with not only the patients but also the nurses and attending hospital staff.  By the end of the visit, Celeste would need to take her hands on a spa retreat.  Either that or have Adam baby her for an evening.  Paybacks were wonderful if used effectively.

Celeste had gathered back with the girls who were cheerful, yet hesitant to leave, at least most of them.  Celeste found the Head Staff Lead to send her condolences and thanks.

Thank you for having us, she commented.  We like to make ourselves a part of the community, not just a pretty face that you see on TV.

Once everyone had said their good byes, Celeste boarded the bus along with the other girls and flopped into the seat she and Lu-Ti shared upon arriving.  She pulled out her phone while everyone was distracted and took a look at her new photo she had taken.  She planned on taking plenty more.  She'd have to show Adam the ones that she took today so he could see.

  She  smiled  as  she  leaned  back in teh seat..the girls chatted behind them, not quite  as lively as  on the  way in, most of the  talk, centered on some  of the kids they saw, and talked with.

 I wonder If  Ben  will have  anything to do? It has been quite a day, and thier practice was supposed to be  a hard one today.

Who knows?  I've not heard or received a message from, uhm, you know who. Celeste said, putting her phone away and putting her attantion towards Lu-Ti.  Going to ask him out to eat?

Wondering what her own plans would be this evening, she sat quietly for a moment.

I'm sure that Ben would like an afternoon away from work and thinking about it.  Pry him away if you have to.


Celeste gave a slight laugh at her own comment.

  The Cell phone hummed,When she  answered   she heard, Hiya, How's  My CheerChick?..After  Practice   a Bunch of  us  got some endorsemnt gigs to do, guess they want us to get them done  so we can get things  ready to leave tomorrow..I'm Gonna be leaving pretty soon to go down to  Big Kids Toy Shop..about a mile or so from the Complex...Supposed to take  an Hour  or so? YOu want to come with? Or do you have things to do?

Alright, thanks, she said quickly.  Attempting to sound like it was a professional call.  I will let the girls know in case they want to meet up and help out.  Maybe.

In a lower tone, she smirked at the idea that she may be spending the evening alone but glad that Adam got to do something special aside from what she was able to do.

Maybe leave me the keys, she asked.

When the call ended, she turned to Lu-Ti.  Some of the guys have promotional spots to go to.  Sounds like the PR staff have got them busy today.  So one of two things, we can go back to our places and hang out oor we can go and cheer on our guys.

Celeste wiggled her eyebrows.

Ladies, the guys have been given assignments to do.  If you want to go and help them, just visit the PR staff about the different places they'll be going.  Maybe we can offer them some pep help.  If not, you have the rest of the afternoon off.  Tomorrow about 9 am we'll be working our butts off on cheers having our uniforms sized and confirming who'll be cheering and who'll be spectating.  Have a good day ladies!

Adam,well?  Its alright  with  me, Heck Video Games? You coming there might  make  have the  clinetle passout!...or...I can leave the keys int he  mailbox..been getting  alot  of use   out of that mailbox

Alright, she said quickly wrapping up the car.  We're on our way back.

  Great! I'm waiting on Lucas  and Ben, gonna drop them at thier places  on the way in. see you then!

Okay, see you then. 

Celeste promptly ended the call and looked to Lu-Ti and then back at the girls with a motion like she was glad the coast was clear for a bit.

   The locker rooms   in the stadium were used, for Dressing rooms, and  Alexia had  a desk set up, so the  Ginat scorboard with the Dragons w, where in the backround...The  SCorbord  crew  set it up, so  once in a while, one of the Dragons who  beath out  flames,  that could be seen in the back round.

 Aleixa Greeted   the guests, stopping  lastly with Celeste and Lu-tiwell Ladies?  The   Mayor of New JAcksonville  will be on first, he has to leave after  a few moments...THe  Darren Flint, the Actor who is playing a  Ships  captian in a furture will be one..he went  to FSU  and played  soem football..and is a big Dragon's  fan....then the Comic..Rowdy Red, will be on..he will be staying when you two come on..um..his schitck is making  fun of folks, so be ready...Nice to see you have been taking care of my Girls , Celeste....  she  walka  away with  an Over tight skirt and what looked like 'stilts' for shoes.

 Lu-ti  huffed when she was gone,..her girls?

Upon arriving at the stadium in the morning, Celeste dressed quite a bit more conservatively.  After the debunkle during the game, she figured it would be best to show a better more proper side of her.

When her and Lu-Ti approached, Alexia went over the lay out of appearances and also commenting upon "her girls".  Celeste simply shook her head and ignored the comment.

Eh, she said to Lu-Ti.  Let her think it.  Doesn't means she's right.  She's the one who left, not us.  We are the Amotas' girls not hers, technically speaking.

Looking in the mirror at her tailored dress shirt and pen stripe knee length skirt and flats, she could care less what she wasn't showing.  Alexia was showing enough for both of them.  She had brought a little something extra, just in case someone wanted to be a know-it-all.

   As  they  waited in the dressing  room to be called, Celeste's Phone buzzed  and Beth relpied,

...oh thank you!..I was Mobbed back home. Eddie had  taking pictures  of me as a Dragonette and Got a picture of me with Adam...every  one is soooo jealous!..I love it!..Just  tell me the flight number , and i will be there..A Dargonette!..and i get paid for it!!!


  The tap  at the  door  came , telling them they had  5 Minutes. As they walked out   Darren Flint stoped by them and smiled,..Hello LAdies....good job those last two games..I have never seen JAcksonville so fired up... Just got my season Tickets Yesterday..good thing too..I think they started a waiting list!  He  smiled  and  took each of thier  hands,Studio has   Sets on both coasts..you want to stop by while we are filming? Just let them know you are  Dragons, I'll get yoou back stage... he smiled  and winked  and went off with a secratary that was talking on 3  cell phones at once....

 The  came on the Set, the dragon Stomp int he backround on the screen..Both Dragons  blew out  fire  as  Celste and  Lu-ti sat down.

 Rowdy    shok each of thier hand s and waited for them to sit, as he said,...really..you guys never get tired of  that Song?..and those  Dragons?

Celeste picked up the phone promptly while they waited in the green room to be called out on stage.

Hey Beth, glad to have you aboard.  Won't need much of anything major, whatever you get aas a sign on will well make up for whatever you'll be missing when you get here.  I've got a condo suite and suitemate already lined up for you.  Can't wait to have you hear.  I'll make sure to take plenty of pictures of you during training and games that you can send back to friends and family.  See you when you get here.
She gave her all the details and forwarded her the flight tickets and code to board the plane.  As soon as she hung up, they were called to head to the stage.  Walking down the corridor they bumped into Flint who congradulated them.

Thanks, she said politely.  I'll have to take you up on that.  Especially if I'll be making many trips for promo spots for the Dragons and the squad.

She proceeded on into the room and with the ball from Adam neatly held in a clutch with one arm.  She shook hands with everyone with the free hand.

Never, she commented about the Dragon Stomp.  We eat, sleep, breath and sometimes even our hearts beat the stomp.  That my friend...is a true Dragonette.

She then took a seat in the first available spot with Lu-Ti next to her and her game ball in her lap.

well..for  my West Coast Poeple? This LAdy witht eh football is  Celeste De Luca.  And this  Is LU-Ti..both were Dragonettes when i was the CAptain here...


 She  Motioned to the Football, Caoch Sims   Make you carry a football around? she grinned  at the practice of  coaches    making players  who drop  or fumble, carry footballs with them.

  Lu-Ti? you are the # 2 Dragonette now?

  Rowdy looks at the football,hey? can i have  that? I used to play in highschool!...i bet i couls  give old  Jimmy Steele a run for his money!

Actually no, she said proudly.  She held the ball up only to tease Rowdy with it and placed it back in her lap.  No.  This beauty right here is one that Adam Bronk gave me personally after they made the first successful touchdown.

She looked at Rowdy and shook her head.  Honestly, with yesterdays plays, I could probably out do Mr Steele.  Not to be too bravado, only factual.

She quieted while Lu-Ti answered her question.

  Lu--Ti looked  a bit annoyed at Rowdy trying to reach around her, as she   answered Alexia,..Yes..I am very proud. I am begging to see...more and more..that the Dragonettes are more then just  Cheerleaders..we  will be working all year around for the team, and the community...We  are actually a part of Amota  Enterprises, so we will also being doign events  at factoires, openings  and conventions...

  Alexia  Grinned at Celeste,Ok..now..the Buzz  is around , because of this picture of you and Adam leaving the Rising Son....some  say you are an Item, others  think its  just PR work for the dragons?  she holds  up the picture and Rowdy laughs, I have to Admit, never  saw a Dragons   game yet..I',  Raiders fan myself..but sheesh LAdy..where did you meet him..on the Yellow Brick Road?


  there was  some chuckles  from the  100 or so people that bought seats to teh special taping, and Rowdy  took it  and Ran,..I mean..really.. I'm 5' 11...this guy looks about half that tall?

 Alexia  smiled at some of the crowd  reaction..some  growled, others  laughed..Lu-Ti sorta glared at the Comic.....what did you play , on the team....IN HIGH SCHOOL.....soap fetcher..in the shower...?


 The crowd   really laughed at this  and Rowdy was surprised, Alexia laughed and said,and  she is the  quiet one!

Celeste idly shook her head and then produced her phone with a personal picture of her and Adam from the Dragon's Lair club that she took.

No no...she said and then showed it to Rowdy and finally Alexia.  It's not a PR stunt.  I've known Adam for quite some time actually.  We just recently made ourselves an item.  Regardless of height, he's the best guy any girl could ask for.  I'm not tall myself, unless I'm wearing heels and even then its not a factor between either of us.  We met while he was still playing for Hamilton, it was my final year in high school and I went to a cheer camp at the same place he was for football.  I guess you could say, we crushed on each other from that point onward.  Just never had the guts to ask the other one out.

This ball, she said and holds it up.  Among many more pictures are sure to be added to the collection among other things as we progress in our relationship.  Besides, wasn't it you and James that were the "thing" back when you were a Dragonette?

Celeste tilted her head anticipating the answer to her question.  I guess its just an irony that the Dragonettes Head Cheerleaders have a thing with one of the best players on the team.  Though my feelings have stretched back farther than that for the fan favorite wide receiver.

All jests aside, I agree with Lu-Ti, she said moving onward.  Lu-Ti and I have both made several plans for promos, local and nationwide attendances to spread the word of the newest NFL team to hit the bock.  We may be the newest kid on the block, but we plan on showing up with a bang, or would that be a Dragon Stomp?

Well..yea..back in Minicamp , i talked to him a bit....Adam was like bee at the minicamp..seems like he was always  triying to help the 'newguys' out...even though..he was a new guy!  she giggled.


 Rowdy looked at the pictures  and shook his head,well Honey..you give me a call when you want some one famous...  he winked at her.

  Lu-Ti  just rolled her  eyes.

 Now? Celeste...i wouldn't ask this, if  i hadn't been part of the team, But what's the story here?  They Trade Gearhart to the Cowboys after Minicamp...one  of the only two vets? and  they lost that woman QB..so that leaves  Steele...Duke..and..Adam?


 Rowdy laughs ,Really?  Teh Little  guy throws? God  i hope the raider play you guys this year!

That is my...our Adam, she stated.  Adam strives to help those that are willing and wanting help at any cost.  He's always been like that.  Why make it yourself when you are part of the team.  In Adam's eyes, he's not the team, he's only a part of the team.  Why not make the whole team strong, instead of just one?  It'll greatly affect playtime as well as impact the fans by building the esteem within to show on the outside.

She gave Rowdy a headshake.  Thank you for the offer.  I don't think I could be any happier than I am at this moment in my life.  I've got the best job any one could wish for.  The best guy any one could dream of.

She looks at ALexia.  I'm not certain what story there is to tell.  If you aren't playing like you want to be part of the team, the Amotas adamantly tell you then pack your bags.  They aren't going to pay if you aren't willing to play, or cheer for that fact.  Duke has great potential as well as a great arm.  Adam, can throw and has been known to be a wonderful stand-in or Wildcat as they are called when the needs arise.  Though he prefers to run and catch than to be on the throwing side of the offensive line.  Either way, I think we find the strong points and work to strengthen the weak ones, we'll be one of the top five teams in the NFL in the years to come.

Back to Rowdy, she gave a come hither motion.  Bring on the Raiders, I'm sure it'll be a good game to anticipate, watch, and even cheer for.  Though I'll side with my Dragons.  If we win, maybe I could send you a Dragons shirt that you could sport on your next show.  If you win, I'll do likewise

 well...I like the sound of that..a bet made right here on teh show.... We'll have to dig up a schedule and see if the Raiders are on it?  she looks  arround at the production guys then back to her guests


 now?  Darren wa out here before..and he's  a really big Jacksonville fan...he even helped  promote the building of the new stadium... she turns to the camaras and the  folks in the chairs,..Three fileds..the stadium for the drahgons...a huge  soccor  stadium and a  baseball filed..all which are opened to the  public  for a few dollars if they cannot get into the   stadium, they still get to see the Big screens at those  fields...something the Cowboys should  have thought of...I see the Amota's  making alot of  money here....

 ahhh...looks like the Raiders  don't play the Dragons  this  year..unless its in the playoffs!

  She smiles  and stands,That's all we have time  for today... tomorrow  we will be back in LA where our  Guests will be Two of the Oakland Cheerleaders..and Rowdy will be there as well..and a surpsie  guest from the New Movie that  Darren  Flint stars in" Beyond  2012"....Take care!

  some people appraoch   to get autographs  from those   at the stage... fianlly all  calms down and Alexia stands on the field   her   arms crossed  under her breasts  as she shakes her head, You and Adam....I really never saw that coming....I'm goign to try to come back here a few more times throught he season..maybe   i can get you both to come on?..In  your  Locker   rooms i have  agift for you and all the girls..not  anything big, just to show  i still think of them......she gives  each girl a hug and moves   off  with her  people...in the locker room, beside  every dragonette's  locker  is  a  ( 100.00) collection of  makeup and goodies  from  Alexia's  sponser.

Celeste smiles as the show ends and shakes hands with the ones on the stage and thanks them for their time.

Guess we'll be seeing you in the playoffs then, she said to Rowdy before heading backstage.  Upon bumping into Alexia, she stops briefly before heading to her locker to check on things.

Thank you, she said, regardless of whether it was an intended compliment.  It's really been a long time coming.  You are welcome any time, Alexia.  Have a safe flight.

Celeste gave a brief hug and moved towards her locker to see the goodie bags setup.  She shook her head and once out of range from the Alexia crowd and ears.  Sheesh!  What a mess.

You did great Lu-Ti, she said.  I'm sure that Adam will want to see this too.  She double checked her phone for recordings times to make sure that it was set.  Wonder how things are going for them?  Honestly, I'm glad that is over.

  Lu-Ti nodded,Yes...it was very  nerve wracking..i wanted to hit  that rowdy Person...Alexia doesn't  seem to be much differant..except ..maybe  added  a pound or two?  she grins evily at  Celeste.

 The   others  don't come back  to Jacksonville until  6:00...i want to either go home or  sit up in the commisary to watch  ESPN and see who we cut!

Celeste looked to Lu-Ti and nodded as she thought for a moment.  Both sound tempting.  Though I skipped over breakfast and I'm sure I'll be regretting it later.  I'm really anxious to see the results of the cut, but more or less for Adam to be home.

She tapped her finger on her jaw line.  Any idea the time of cuts?

  she shakes her head  but points  up to the owners boxYUto came  home  at 3:00 this moring  and has been up in the   offcie..they are  either working on trades, cutting people, picking people up..or..all 3? I think they have  to release the names  by 4:00..that's  still a bit off.

If that is when, then I'll be home resting until then.  Gotta help Kimmie get her condo ready around noon for Beth to arrive. Celeste paused and looked to Lu-Ti.  Do you think she was a good choice?

Not that Celeste was questioning her own choices, but liked to hear Lu-Ti's input as well.

Honestly, she asked.  What do you think?

 Lu-ti  shrugs  as they startv walking towards the gate..she   is  a big Fan, that's  for certain! and she has been doing some   workouts,  but she'll have to work hard on some of our...more energentic  routnies..but? we  all had to do that...the good thing is? she's a fan, before she was a  Dragonette...

Then good, she said.  Who didn't work their hardest to get where we are at now?  You are correct.  If you don't have that die hard, sweat hard attitude, then what's the point of us being here, right?

She gave her friend a hug.  I think I'll be heading homeward to rest before I do anything else today.  Cross your fingers our boys return safely.  Its too quiet around here, dontcha think?

With that, she took liberties to head home and check back with Lu-Ti around 2 or three to see when the cuts were being made.  Around noon, she'd check in with Kimmie to see what else needed to be done in her condo to accommodate the new arrival.

After helping Kimmie out, Celeste made her way back to the stadium and went to the commissary in hopes of seeing Adam sooner rather than later.  She wasn't certain how the flight would be but hoping that it went well.

Seeing Lu-Ti, she pranced up to her friend and took a seat beside her.  Any news yet?  Beth will be here about 8 tonight.

  Looking up at the  screen, she says,..They have traded Williams  to  Seattle for a low  round  pick...6th if he makes the team, 7th  if  he doesn't....They said there is rumors  about Carter  being  shopped  around, but  any teams listed are keeping quiest  Finnes, Boss, and  Krile are gone, but that was no  suprirse, they  never  showed anything  in practice..Beth was waied-ijured..so they are  where they need to be...now? it comes  down to   if anyone wants to trade for a rookie LB...

Celeste gave an unsettled hmph.  She had bought a water bottle from the machine and took a sip.  Steele's still around, bummer,  she said mockingly.  Maybe he needs to hook back up with Alexia so his A-game will be better.

  She  laughsSteele  and  Alexia!!!! she seems   about  out of his  age grouping...seems he likes them...young...

Maybe, she said slyly.  But their egos match up ever so perfectly.  Whats in order for tonight for you?  I see that Ben didn't go any where, you plan on making any plans with him.
Celeste wasn't trying to hook up Lu-Ti with Ben, though she thought they made a cute pair.

  she   shrugged as  she  watched the Monitor  and drank some hot  coffee,I thought  about it..but...cut  day? better  let the guys alone  for a bit. You heard  Caoch Sims, not a real good game...i think things  would have  been way worse..had  we lost!

I could definitely foresee that one, she said.  Wonder if we'd have started over with a whole new team if that would have happened.  Sheesh!

She watched and idly listened to the ESPN sports announcers do their daily announcements and broadcasts.  It was actually just chatter to Celeste mainly, her mind was on many other things at the moment.

When break time had ended, she arrived back where she had expected the girls to return to.  Once everyone had returned she wanted to make an announcement.

Alright ladies, she said firmly with her arms on her hips.  Now, don't think that I'm going to play Mother Hen to everyone, though I am making an exception this once.  Since some of us are actually courting with some of the players and team members, that we do not need to mix business with pleasure.  Now during this past game, not only have I seen some of the players mock us but also point fingers at us and laugh.

I know we are all adults here and probably think that this is something our mother's would say to us, but honestly, I just don't want to see any of you hurt.  So, to avoid any future taunts lets try to avoid the "bad buys" as best as possible, she said finally.  I'm not trying to tell you who to date or not date, I'm just giving a nice reminder.  Let's wrap this day up and head to the weightroom.  Beth, I'll be spotting you and vice versa.  We'll be starting out slow to get you use to it.

  Beth listens  attentively, she even has  a  worn notebook with a pen attached to it, that hse has been making notes ( to the  point of  drawing   little  diagrams like a play book!)

 when Cel  says about  lifting to gether  she nods  with a slight smile.

 When the talk of  Players  comes  Up..Lu-ti blushes  just  a bit  and  some of the toher girls giggle, until it is brought up about  finger pointing and laughing. The one  girl sorta  lowers her head, when another Girls  stands up , more then a little angry.You are  Right  Ms Deluca...but the balme should be opn the Players..not the girls...I bet with the right hand gestures and snickers, we could make them feel.....small...  she holds her  finger and Thumb apart to show  a 'size'. The other  Girls  laugh at this.

 One of the Dragonettes  stands  and says,..You know? If  we  go to the Amota's, or even Coach Sims   about this...they'll just hand  down  the  'no fratrazation' rule that all the  other teams  have....and if that happens? we'll just be another set of cheerleaders...it won't be long, before the pull the plug on us traveling  with them....We need to Make the players responsible, without  involving the  staff and such!

Yes, I agree, she said to the girl who motioned about petiteness and laughs.  Though some I'm sure are not that small.  We can at least help deflate their egos.  One has already been dismissed from the team.  That's one down.

She stopped for a moment. We are Dragon Ladies; we stand against adversity and fight for what is right.  We do not allow ourselves to stoop to their level regardless of being on the same team.  If its another team, we'll let the boys handle that by winning.

If it is so out of control of ourselves that the owners and head staffing need to know and step in, then we need to re-evaluate ourselves.  We have the opportunity and greatness to get us far, but if we degrade ourselves by letting the situation get above us then we are no better than the normal cheerleaders.

I'm not saying for us to stop dating the players or other team members, she said.  That would go for me as well.  Don't think that I haven't thought about how I would handle myself if my relationship ended, this is still my job, my life.  I'm not going to let that affect me or my job.  That is why I'm saying we need to be careful of who we do see and realize their...maturity level before getting serious or even going as far as a date.  As for the major player behind all this...I've got his calling card.  You let me handle him.

I agree...we have a chance that most girls would Kill for...and we are evcen one up on the  Cowgrils, or Jills or even the  Jets Flight Crew..WE...Travel..with..OUR..team...we aren't part time cheerleaders....the only way that can be ruined? if  we let the players ruin that, by letting them mess with out team...you can bet...not one player out there would  even think about   turning his back on us, if it meant his place...on his team!  The girls nodded in agreement,

 Beth Raised her hand,I..I...know  i am New...But...the  bits  a saw from the sidelines...I only saw a couple  bad apples out there..and..and...its  not like  we  are dumb...right? I mean....we should be able   to have someone say..'hey..watch this guy'?..I mean...we did that in school...watched out  for each other..unless  American schools  are differant then Canadina ones?

That is exactly what I'm saying, Ladies, she said.  That is what I'm proposing, Beth.  That we stick together and stand up for one another.  Not only dragonette to dragonette, but dragonette to player.

We all know that there are certain ones out there that all we have to do is ask, and they will be there for any of us.  We are all part of the team.

Upon finishing her speech and discussion with the girls, she paused a moment as they gathered their stuff to watch Adam on the field QB'ing this round of plays.  Content, she gave a nonchalant nod and grabbed a few bags along with the girls and headed into the weigh room.

There, she began doing sit ups, pull ups, and push ups.  She'd then commence spotting and lifting weights with Beth.  You'd think with the look of concentration on her face it was actually Adam in the weightroom working out.

Having overheard some conversation with the trainers and other guys that had just left the field, she made an urgent dash to Lu-Ti to advise her that Ben had been injured on the field.

I think you need to go check on Ben, she said plainly.  She shooed her off the equipment and helped pack her gym bag to leave quickly.  Hurry before he leaves the trainers room.

  Her  eyes  went  wide  as she  tossed  stuff in her  bag and  scurried  out the door  to the trainer's  room...........

Celeste finished up working out and helped the girls clean up after themselves.  She was basically the only one in the weightroom when the girls left.  She had a few more things she wanted to do before she left.  She'd also be hitting the pool before the day was done.

Full steam ahead, this time Lu-Ti would be able to take a break from cheering and sitting in the stands if she wished while Celeste and all the other girls would be on the sidelines cheering.

Dressed in a business suit until they reached the cheer locker rooms in Panther territory, Celeste strolled through the stadium/office hallways coming back from her boss' office to go over last minute information.

Having to go over last minute paperwork for health insurance for the girls, Celeste was glad that the day was nearly done.  She was rushing to get back to the girls to check on everyone and see if they were ready.

Are we ready ladies? she asked as she came through the doorway.

  The Girls  had thier things together. Most were dressed real nice, some  were dress nice, but not over the top. They talked  excitedly about  go to Carolina.

Seeing everyone ready, she nods and motions with her free hand for them to head to the buses.  She'd be lucky to see the players as they were probably already aboard theirs and heading out just as the girls were loading.

Next stop, Cackalacki, she said joking.

Once everyone had arrived at the Home teams stadium and hotels, Celeste prompted all the girls to meet up early in the morning at the visiting cheer squads lockerroom.

She had arrived before any one else had.  She'd also went to bed rather early than she had of late and possibly before any one else.  She'd visited with Adam just briefly before they went to their own rooms.

She was looking over her notes and sitting on a bench before the girls got there.  A small mumbling sound coming from her, mostly inaudible, unless you were trying to hear.

  Adam Grinned,well Ben? You need onl;y to make it through the  riest 15 minutes...and I'm sure HArry will be watching you like a HAwk!

  Around 12:00 the Busses were ready, to mget them to the  park so they could finished being taped, and get out on the fields  for  warmup.

  comingout in Gamepants and T-shirt Adam Began to  strecthc  and jog...He went over to Celeste,..Have a Good GAme today...make those  Panther Fan wish they were Dragon fans...

Celeste smiled at Adam when he came over.  I'll see what I can do about converting a few. Just nothing like last game, She said with a wink.  Go get'em Wildcat.

She then turned to her own girls and once on the field gave it a look over to see where would be a prime spot for them to start setting up.

Celeste had caught the morning news on ESPN and heard that the point spread and win by 10.  She had gotten up early due to a restless night, had a big size breakfast at the Dragon club, and sat in the commissary watching the walled expanse of televisions.  It had given her ideas and she had formulated them into a cheer.  One she'd have to go over with Lu-Ti, once she too showed up.

  Lu-Ti  came into the Commissary, dressed in warmups. She grabbed  a sweetroll and   some milk and headed over to Cel....so...Our  first workouts, before a real game!

Celeste turned her head when Lu-ti approached.  Yes it is, she said.  She tossed down a very chicken scratched notepad and words, but then something big circled of a final draft for a cheer.

Was watching ESPN today and one of the talk show hosts saying he sees us beating the Cowboys by 10, she said and pointed to one of the cheers.  I figure we could do cheer, pyramid style for this one.

The others, thought I'd get your input on, she said.  I was restless this morning and got busy on some new cheers.

She took a sip of her warm drink as she contemplated what she'd come up with and pondered Lu-Ti's response.  She'd messaged or called all the girls to come have breakfast here first before they started their work outs.  It was going to be a long day with weightroom training, swimming laps for endurance, and then cheer routines and learning the new cheers and coming up with the moves for those.

..I think we  should have a cheer that says  what a jerk the Cowboy's owner is!

Celeste paused but couldn't help but laugh.  Would be nice, she said playfully.  Though seriously, we have to be the bigger dog and play nice.

Besides, she said.  While Adam and I were on Gordan's radio show, we got a go ahead that some of the teams we hadn't got any answer from or a nay about going against the Dragonettes in a Girls Tourney are ago now.  Including...the CowGirls.

She wiggled her eyebrows.  Guess we had some Cowboy or Girl fans listening in and got their buttons pushed to go with it.

 well...I hope they were. When i first signed up..I thought we were going to be  like college..but..after listening to Mrs Amota, what she wants from us...for the team and the city?..well..I think we should make  sure they all know...We are for real too!  she pouted a  bit then bit into he r breakfast, her  left leg bouncing as she thought about  the  Cowgirls...

I'm glad we aren't like the fruity college girl squads, she said.  We wouldn't have the freedoms that we do now.  I really respect the setup the Amota's have here.  I couldn't be any more grateful for it.

Seeing a few of the other girls begin to shuffle in, she looked at her watch and realized it was later than she thought it would be.

Let's eat and we'll go over some of the ideas I've wrote out and then go to the weight room afterwards.  I've got a specialty trainer coming in to help working on mixing cheer work outs and how to fit into our workouts for any upcoming "pom"squad games we have.

  Lu-Ti  grinned and  began eating in earnst,...we are true  professionals...as it would be written in a dictionary....we  cheer  for  our  team and our  town..and  we work to help them both..for that..we get paid...of course...some of us might cheer a little harder..for some of the players..  she looked up  from her  straw and grinned.

Celeste nodded hearing Lu-Ti but not really listening until she said that "some cheer harder for some of the players', she scoffed and tossed a crumpled up napking at her friend.

I'm not biased, she said honestly with a smile and thought for a moment.  Ok, well I can classify Steele as being one I won't cheer for...the others, I will.

Celeste went over to some of the girls who had gotten something to eat and sat down already and discussed the session for the day.  They would also be trying on their halloween attire fittings this evening as well, it wouldn't be long before that time came.  It would also be in part their football gear for any upcoming games, but a bit more modified.

  Cel's  Phone chimed, Mrs Amota was on the other  end,..hello?  Miss Celeste? Are the Girls  going to be doing anything speical for the party? Or  is this to be low key?

Celeste had sat down for a few minutes as the girls were finishing up and before they headed to the weightroom for their modified training.

She nearly jumped out of her seat when her phone rang. She answered it to hear Mrs Amota on the other line.

Good day, Mrs Amota, she replied. I thought that we might announce what I learned from the local radio show. Some of the other girl cheerleaders that had refused or denied to go against us in the Pom Girls tourney has accepted.  Did you have anything in particular in mind?

  ah not  really Miss Celeste. I just wished to know  for  My Husband's  sake, Normally we will arrive  and visit, before we go into the  dining section..but if there is something we should see, I will make it a point that we are there.

  Yuto has not said anything to me about the Girls  tourney, who are the Girls  who will be playing?

  There is  a  ring tone that is familar,  a message left since she was talking to Mrs  Amota,..hey Cel...Adam..give me  a call when you can.

Celeste gave her the run down of the ones that the radio announcer had  exposed to her, plus the ones that she had already received replies from their trainers and cheer coaches.

I think it will be quite a turnout on both levels, she commented.  As well as some much needed PR for the cheerleaders on both teams.
This message was last edited by the player at 05:19, Tue 27 Nov 2012.

Celeste thought for a moment.  On second thought, how about a dedication party to the players that are still on the team.  Maybe hang up their jerseys and have leis to hand out to them?

She kinda shrugged and looked to Lu-Ti as it might be an idea.  I'm sure we have enough dragonettes to players if not, I'm sure some of the girls won't mind to double up.

you want the dragonettes to double up and lei the players!..Celeste  she giggled at her own joke. Then said,we are going to have to  fine a shop where we can get enough?..and get enough in time for the party?

Celeste went bugged eyed when Lu-Ti commented on what she had suggested and nearly laughed into the phone.

Yes, something like that, she said.  So how does that sound Mrs Amota...maybe even put your husbands jersey up and you can be part of us Dragonettes for the evening?

  Saddly? My Husband  did not playb football..it was frowned upon here when he was young..he was a trackstar  as Yuto was, and he loved  baseball..he played  for the  Sato Swordfish for 5 years, before   a ball hit him in the ehad as he was sliding into second base.... he missed the rest of the season and never went back....but..he has become a large figure in sports in Japan...He started the Industrial League..and the Amota Tigers are always in the playoffs..we have only won, one championship...that ws when Yuto and Adam were there..With Coach Sims....he help start soccor and baseball leagues  of that sort as well..and many of the larger  companies  began to do that as well...it has been a good thing for the youth of Japan.


 she was  silent  for a second and added, I would not mind being with the girls , if you would have me?...perhaps... Yuto's Mellon State..or his  Amota Tiger Fersey could be hung...and  many  a jersey that just has my husband's Name on?..would suffice?

Celeste shook her head.  If you have any of his old game uniform or equipment, bring it.  We'll work on getting him his own Dragons football jersey.  I'll make that my own priority.  Bring Mr Amotas and Yutos, she said.  We'll work with the rest.  I'll find a local business that deals in lei's and will arrange something with them for tonight.  Yes, you'll be my second-second in command tonight Mrs Amota.  Might want to see if any of our cheer outfits fit you.  We are all going Dragon Green tonight!

Let's meet at the club about two hours, I'll call Harry and get all the uniforms of the guys.  I'll talk to the club manager and have some of the waitresses and hostesses help us out.  Sound like a plan?

..yes..yes..very good..I will call the secrataries of m Husband  and  Yuto... I am most certain we   can get Yuto's Tigers  jerseys...if you wish to call Harry instead? He could get the equipment man to  make a Dragon's  Jersey for each?...do you think that might be better...then he could send someone with them over to the Club...should not be hard..if  we need a jersey..we should be able to get one from our own team!...what do you think of that?

In reply to Nilie Amota (msg # 137):

That sounds like a great plan, Mrs Amota, she said.  Can't wait to see how this turns out!

She looked to Lu-Ti with a thumbs up.

  Lu-yi grinned  as she took a drink  and nooded..then shook her head,lei all the players.....

Very good Mrs Amota, she said.  See you later.

She ended the call and shook her head.  Only you would think like that, Lu-Ti.

She laughed along with her as she motioned for all the girls to get up and head towards the weight room.

As they made their way, she did a search on her phone for a local party place or floral shop that would be able to accomodate their needs.  She also found Harry on their way through the complex and she stopped to see if he'd mind gathering the jerseys for display at the Dragons club.

She then made one more call as they stood outside the weightroom and spoke with the manager, who was working on the event this evening and was more than ready and willing to help the cheerleaders decorate the place with jerseys and a "lei" theme.

Celeste looked to Lu-Ti and sighed.  I think that was more work than this will be.  Let's go ladies.

-->> from the dragon comples

Eve breathed a sigh of relief grateful things had gone so well with Celsest. She took the opportunity to wander about the stadium to familiarise herself with it. The honeycomb of passages and tunnels would take some time to get use to. Thankfully there were an occasional sign to point the way out, or to a specific location. Eventually she located the Dragonetts locker room, which was adjacent to their rehearsal and training room.

Upon arriving in the dragonettes cheer-room, it didn't vary much from the guys locker room other than the fact it had a few touches of the female side of things.  Passing through was a room not much different than a ballet room, it had one wall size mirror and several different tumble matts neatly tucked away in the corner.  A hamper stood nearby with practice poms in it.  This room was actually a bit taller than the locker room.  Enough that you could do a four person pyramid, if desired.  Or toss a person and barely brush the ceiling.  All the colors of the dragon team decked the lockers, walls, of the cheer locker room.  Though in the rehearsal room, it was a very soft pastel egg yolk yellow.  Like a very bright sunrise peeking in through the window.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 142):

Eve nodded approvingly at the use of both space and subtle colour scheme. She wondered how the cheerleaders would react to her appointment. Crossing to the pompoms she lifted two testing their weight and balance; satisfied they were good quality, she returned them to the hamper. Crossing to a seat she opened her hand helt for a short time tapping away at its keys and manipulating some designs.

Ms C came up with this as a starting point for uniforms, as mentioned was thinking of Metalic base costume with matching gloves and high boots.
 


Sending this to Ms C, for comment

Celeste replied with a thumbs up of approval.  She'd begin contacting the costumer's for sizing everyone.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 144):

Eve smiled pleasantly, with a few amendments to the uniform, allowing for both functionality and modesty, she hoped her proposal would lend both elegance and flair to the cheerleading forum. She provided these to Ms C. Then set about the seven hour task of viewing the video's and familiarisation with set styles she then spent another five hours review Dragonetts resume's for background purposes. The need for both alertness and attention to detail in her first meeting with the Dragonetts prompted hearl to return home. Rising early the next day she headed backe to the stadium so she could utilise its facilities in preparation for the busy days schedule.

Celeste came in early this morning to change check in with her staff secretary, see on Eve and also make sure to get the new schedules printed out for the girls which now included costume measures early in the week and double checks on Thursday.

She then hustled down to see the guys practice before she went up to mezzanine to eat and then to hit the work out room.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 146):

Warming up in the Dagonetts practice room Eve glimpsed Celeste's image in the mirror and paused to greet her. Good morning Ms  de Luca; how are you this fine day she beamed, as she wiped her forehead with a towel which hung loosely around her neck.
This message was last edited by the player at 20:54, Tue 01 Jan 2013.

   The Door Opened and Nilie entered, she paused and waited for the girls to take a break, then motioned for them to come to here, She looked at Celeste..a slight  frowen on her face as she said,..I am afraid, Yuto set things in motion..that we cannot stop, without losing face.

  she paused, looking a  little  nervous,..the hospital called today to see how many of the children, who were able to travel...could attend t tomorrow's game...We have made arrangements for so 30 children to be in the  Boxes...however..Yuto and  Coach Sims  seem to have crossed messages...we are to deliver signed  Programs to the Hospital...as i speak, the  Dragons are in the Locker room signing some 2000, programs..they will be given to the chlidren and staff...there is also  a program in your lockers  with your name on it as a keepsake  of the first-ever..Dragon's  game.

 her hands  clenched together nervously,..when the players  are done  signing..the books will be brough here  for you to sign as well...the coaching staff  and Office staff have already signed thier pictures.....once you Ladies have signed, we will pack them on a team Bus and you girls will deliver them to the Hospital....I know it is short notice....Caoch sims   said they will be done in an Hour  and a Half.....That will give you girls and Hour to sign...and an hour to get ready...we are to be there after  thier  suppers...so will need to be on the Bus, Bu 5:30...to get there by 6:00...

Celeste turned to Eve as she approached and asked about her day.

I'm doing alright, she said.  Ready for a busy day?

She was about to head out towards the practice field to watch the guys for a bit, but stopped in  mid motion when Nillie came in apologizing for the impromptu signing and visit to the hospital.

Since not many of the girls had arrived yet, she'd start calling around to let them know that practice was cancelled and it would be casual game apparell day.

No problem, Mrs Amota.  We'll get right on it, she said.  Will you be joining us this time?  Eve, this would also be a good time to join us to see some of our charity work in action.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 149):

Eve recognised Mrs Amota from her research and fell silent when she entered the training room. Following Ms C's lead she listened carefully to the instructions they were being given. Acknowledging Celeste's proposal Eve leant forward, Ms de Luca I wore jeans and blouse this morning as I presumed it would be a training day. She apologised I can call home and ask a sister to bring out something more suitable if you'd like
This message was last edited by the player at 10:48, Wed 02 Jan 2013.

Celeste gave a giggle.  That's alright, she commented.  We'll get you fixed up.

Lu-Ti had just came in and was dressed in work out gear too, but had gotten the message and was coming to the lockerroom to change in a cheer outfit.

Want to wear a jersey or a dragonnettes cheer outfit? she said to Eve.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 151):

Eve considered the alternatives, decided on the Dragonetts outfit. The outfit thank you Ms de Luca, that way I'll co-ordinate with the others. she replied pleasantly surprised and grateful they had as uniform large enough for her; spotting Lu-Ti, Eve waved in greeting.

Celeste pulled out her hand made #19 jersey that she'd wore to the first away game.  She was going to wear that over a tank top and a pair of blue jean shorts.  However, she'd probably see if she couldn't get some of the football payers black face paint to dress up her face and she'd fix her hair.

No problem, she said.  If or when you are ready for any help let any of us know.

She promptly started undressing herself and putting on the jersey over a matching green dragon's tanktop first.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 153):

ooc I'm assuming the Dragonetts are wearing their Special Event Uniform

Slipping on her Uniform Eve hung her clothes in the locker she'd been assigned, along with the additional uniforms. Once dressed she sat watching as the Dragonetts as they applied makeup and finishing touches, grateful that she didn't use any of those adornments. Noting how the women comprising the Dragonetts were a mixture of nationalities. She wondered how they would take her, considering the difference in her age and height.

GAME DAY

Celeste had let Adam head to his complex for the night knowing he'd probably be getting up sooner than her.  Then again when she woke up at 5 am, she sent him a message telling him good morning and best of luck, see you at the game.

Celeste promptly woke up herself, showered, dressed, and began fixing her hair but not before she woke up her own roommate for the day.

Celeste messaged Lu-Ti first to see if she wanted to meet at the complex before the public came in and have something to eat.  When she got a response, she then promptly messaged Eve to see what her plans were and if she'd like to join them either to cheer or to stand by and watch and learn.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 155):

Eve and her Father were busy preparing for the day’s activities when Celeste's message came through. Scanning the message, she considered for a moment, not sure if the Dragonetts were comfortable enough with her to work and co-ordinate fully with anyone new. But hey as her dad maintains a cake doesn't get cooked if the ingredients aren't mixed. Texting back a good morning and she was pleased to work with whatever Celeste thought best.

At the stadium, Celeste and the other Dragonettes were applying the finishing touches to their outfits, hair, or make up.  She looked around to see where Eve might be at.  She wanted to see if she was willing to cheer or just be a spotter today for them.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 157):

Reaching the stadium early Eve spent some time reviewing some of the tapes she short listed the day before. The sounds of activity in the other room alerted her to the start of the pre game routine. Flicking off her hand held she hurried to the locker room. Slipping inside giving Celeste an apologetic smile and joining the others in their exercises. After they’d finished and started applying finishing touches she crossed to Celeste to apologise for being late. Having considered the Celestes offer Eve had decided to jump in the deep end, by joining the Dragonetts in this 'The teams inaugural match.'

Celeste gave a nod to Eve.  Welcome aboard, she said.  Now starts the fun!

She motioned for all the girls who had finished up dressing, including Eve to follow her and Lu-Ti out the locker room and towards the tunnel to cheer the players out onto the field.

    YUto's  Secratary came down the  hall and  Popped her ehad in the Dragonettes Studio/meeting room,Helllooooo? Anyone here? Have some Requests for today?

In reply to Monday (msg # 162):

Eve takes the message, thanks the EA. When Celset is free she passes on the information to her.

Lu-Ti had rested well after a long night of dancing and hanging out with Ben and his father.  She came merrily down the hallway nearly skipping as she entered the room where Eve was working at.

Good day to you, she said jovial and sprite.  She pulls out her phone and checks the schedules and sees that today they would be going for their fittings for the outfits that Eve had come up with.

In reply to Lu-Ti (msg # 164):

Apleasant morning to you as well Miss Yin Eve replied pleasantly, noting Lu-Ti’s jovial sprite demeanour. Mr Amota has  arranged some public relations events he’d like some of the leaders to attend and represent the Team she related crossing the room and handing the notices she recieved from the EA.

Lu-Ti took the information and looked them over.  Ok, she said.  I'll get started on this soon.

She looked up at the time and looked around.  Celeste not here yet? she asked making a sound and shrugging her shoulders for a moment.  Hmm.  What are your plans for the day?

In reply to Lu-Ti (msg # 166):

Haven't seen Celeste yet Eve replied holding up a collection of DVD’s I was going to examine some of the rivals routines and tweak them so we can replicate them in a match-off like we did with the cowgirls.

Lu-Ti gave her a quick smile and turned back to the endorsements flier she'd been given.

Looks like, aside from outfittings, she said slowly.  I'll be handing out these opportunities.

She looked up and back to Eve as she showed her the DVDs and what she planned on doing with them.

Well, I can bet that your's will be more fun than mine. She gave a wince.  Fittings make me feel bad.  Have fun.

Lu-Ti headed out the hallway and saw a few of the girls boarding a bus for the fittings.  She's educate them on what was going on and give them the information about where to go or at least who to contact or will be contacting them.

In reply to Lu-Ti (msg # 168):
I'll be coming as well; just thought I'd get a head start with this before heading to the fittings. Eve he paused smiling at Lu-Ti I wouldn't want to be lumbered with something small. she added leaving all but two DVD’s beside the player.
This message was last edited by the player at 23:07, Wed 01 May 2013.

Lu-Ti looked back down the hallway as Eve went to catch up to her.

You are coming? she asked a bit surprised.  Great!  Maybe we can catch up with Celeste and see what she's doing today as well.  I bet she's completely forgotten about today.

Aboarding the bus, she patted one of the seats by her for Eve to sit down.  Though they were a pretty close knit group, there were still minor cliques that still grouped and sat together.  Thankfully all the girls were mature enough to not get up tight about it and went with the flow.

Sade' saw Eve board the bus and came up to sit behind Lu-Ti and Eve.

So how was it with Mr Fullback last night? she asked curiously.

Lu-Ti said a soft hello to the other girl and looked between Eve and Sade'.

In reply to Lu-Ti (msg # 170):

Eve looked at Sadie a puzzled expression on her face; she thought back trying to recall anyone at the party with that name Mr Fullback was that one of the reporters. she asked

Sade' laughed and padded the seat. Wow, either was really crappy or that great, she said.  No, Lucas.

She sat back in the seat a moment holding her stomach as she did her best, but failed at containing a laught.

Oh him; is that what you call him, Mr Fullback. Eve commented I's say in my initial thoughts were confirmed; apart from being on the shortish side he has a scatty predisposition. I learnt he also has obtuse sense of other people’s abilities.

Sade' and Lu-Ti looked between each other and then to Eve.  Sade' shrugged.  Not all of them can be Wildcat, she said smiling and went back to her seat.

Lu-Ti looked down and shook her head giggling as the other dragonette left.

In reply to Lu-Ti (msg # 174):

Eve glanced at Sadie, not sure what she was going on about; and watched after her for several seconds before glancing about. What did Sadie mean about them being wildcat, does it mean Lucas is either ferral trying to be. she quietly asked Lu-Ti

I think it was her own morbid curiousity whether the other football players aside from the obvious, were anything like Adam, she said and looked over the endorsements list.  She also attempted to message Celeste, but not getting any reply.

I guess some of the girls were hoping that the bachelor's on the league were a bit more exquisite like our very own Adam, also known as Wildcat among the guys.

She went about finishing up who would be going where, if Celeste didn't reply.

In reply to Lu-Ti (msg # 176):

Does everyone think Mr Bronk is a wildcat. Eve asked wondering if they meant it in a traditionally unpredictable fierce outlook rather than the possible feral alternative.

 Lu-Ti looked at Eve  and Blinked, Wildcat is a term, for a football set..years ago, back in the early 2000?..someone  put a running back behind center,  and he could throw or run...other   Teams  tried to do it to. it worked, sometimes, but the best way to run it, is with a running Quarterback. When Adam goes  as a Quarterback, we use the Wildcat  set.

In reply to Lu-Ti (msg # 178):

Eve made to smack her forehead diverting it to a rub, partially concealing the red hew of embarrassment Oh that sort of wildcat, I should have realised

 sade laughed,yea, that's what we meant.then rolled her eyes  as they laughed.

In reply to Lu-Ti (msg # 180):

Between laughs Eve managed to overcome her embarrassment Gracious anyone would think me the yokel, what with the way I've been getting things so muddled and out of place.
This message was last edited by the player at 00:16, Sat 11 May 2013.

Lu-Ti smiled and relaxed back into her seat.  Quite okay, she replied.

They finally arrived at the tailor's building and the bus come to a halt with the girls behind Eve and Lu-Ti becoming giggly and excitable.

In reply to Lu-Ti (msg # 182):

Eve was last off the bus, following the dragonetts into the building. She hoped the squad liked her suggestion for the new uniform.

The taylor shop was in downtown New Jacksonville and had many of the designer outfits that the dragons and other professional leagues attire adorning the front of the shop.  Lu-Ti motioned for Eve to follow her as she held the door open for the other girls.

I think you will find this place quite interesting, she said.  Let's find our suitor so that we can get the ball rolling.

She looked around and asked for their regular guy to aid in the design and fitting for the outfit that Eve had come up with.  Lu-Ti even took the image that Eve had taken and sent to Celeste and showed it to the tailor.

In reply to Lu-Ti (msg # 184):

Eve smiled hopefully that she would, considering the window displays the store may have a few interesting knick-knacks. Did these supplied the uniforms the Dragonetts use now

In reply to Eve Ultracurvaceous (msg # 185):

Lu-ti turned and looked to Eve at her question.  Yes, they do all the fittings for out uniforms and gear, she said.  Some of the girls even come here for their formal attire fittings and designs.

She gave Eve a bright smile.  As Eve would look around, on the left side of the wall would be a raised table with different fashion designer and do-it-yourself books, magazines, and catalogs.  There was even a pattern wheel with different items available for purchasing.

Along the right side of the wall and nearly covering the entire back wall, was shelves upon shelves from ceiling to flooring of various fabrics, buttons, threads, etc.  In the middle of the back wall was a 3/4ths mirror and raised flooring for one person to stand on and get sized, measured, and re-pinned.

One of the other girls saw that Lu-Ti was busy and took initiative to go first.

In reply to Lu-Ti (msg # 186):

They sound quite the Couturiers or would you consider them competent Seamstresses Eve asked as she glanced about noting the Fashion literature and accoutrements along the left side of the wall.

Both said Lu-Ti and another female familiar voice that came from the front of the store as the chimes from the entry rang through out the store.

Celeste had finally arrived, glasses on, long shorts, and a loose t-shirt, her sandals popping as she went along.

Sorry for the delay, I was...detained for a moment, she stuttered out.  Her glasses remaining over her eyes as she approached where the girls had gathered.

Lu-Ti had covered her mouth from giggling as she noticed Cel's attire was rather, not Cel like.

As all the Dragonettes proceeded through the fittings, sizings, and overall tedious part of getting ready for a new costume, Cel had found a soda machine and lounge chair idly watching the others and drinking the soda.  She had yet to remove her glasses for fear of nearly being made fun of or poke at by the girls.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 189):

Eve noticed that Celeste was still wearing her sunglasses; she hoped this wasn't to cover the effects of substance use. Then again whatever it was wasn't her business so she gave a shrug and concentrated on the matter at hand. What do you think about these new styles. she asked

Celeste stood, a bit awkwardly and made her way over to Eve, the start of a smile crept over her lips.  She lowered her glasses, just enough for Eve to see dark spots under them, a faint trace of exhaustion evident.

I'm excited, she said a bit more enthusiasm as she spoke.  I can't wait to see what the fans think of them.  Have you gotten any new routines or ideas down on how we can synchronize our styles with the Steeler girls?

In reply to Celeste (msg # 191):

Gracious Celeste you look like you've been cramming for end of graduate finals. she exclaimed in a half whisper glancing about hoping no-one else heard. Sure do... I've been reviewing a number of their routines, and the Steelets don't appear to have much creativity. I've got some ideas that would enhance them, depending on how much of a variation you want to use.

Celeste looked at Eve and blushed slightly.  Well, I think I slept as such, she said.  Though I can say it was more fun than cramming.  Making sure that a certain football player is avidly pleased, is a bit of work and not much sleep.

She gave Eve a wink.  Lu-Ti was up on the podium getting her fitting and sized.

Show me what you got?  I know they have some talent, some of the girls that Adam and I went to college are there.  Though they may not have the initiative to procure that talent.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 193):

Eve flustered a little at the realisation of Celeste's comment. Fumbling with her backpack she extracted a laptop flipped it open between them bothI've transferred some snippets of several Steeletts routines, noting five levels that can be applied to alter them. I was hoping to discuss the level of adjustments with you. Whether you think we should go for a stomp them to death variation, by applying all the variants at once, or use a five step variation.

Celeste focused on what Eve had compiled on the video shots of the Steelerettes cheers and dance routines.  Hearing the options, she contemplated on what might be best.

Which would do you think we could best handle? she asked for Eve's honest opinion.  Knowing what you know of us, that is.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 195):

Eve gaped a little, before turning her heat to glance about Celeste sure was testing her capacities. The team can easily handle both however I was thinking using the five step process would unbalance the Steelerettes after each successive routine.

She lowered her glasses more and gave Eve a smile.  Excellent, she said.  Then we'll proceed with that.  When we meet them again, we'll go at it full throttle.

It wasn't long before it was Cel's turn to be sized.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 197):

Eve nodded All out it'll be then she commented the thought of what they were about to do to the Steelerettes appealed to her competitive side. Eve texted into her laptop making some adjustments whilst Celeste was being fitted out after which she presented her laptop to Celeste once more. I've also been working on counters to mirrored practices against our routines. This involved five updates to our routines which we can employ either in game or between games so the opposition won't be able to match what we're doing.

Lu-Ti had gathered with the other girls while Celeste was busy.  Seeing that Eve was busy, she let her proceed with working.

Once Celeste had been sized, they were done and could leave.  If Eve wanted to be finished, it was her turn.

Celeste took a look at what Eve had gathered and smiled pleased.

Yes, let's slam our competition, she added.  However, this makes me wonder if we shouldn't start having closed training sessions.  So we can do these routines without nosy eyes. 

Celeste thinks for a moment and contemplates on the security of their lockerroom.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 199):

For several reasons Eve was glad she was the last to be fitted, principally because she was quite tall which was in some at thimes rather embarrassing; having her physical statistics measured infront of everyone else was a such an instance.

Though taller for a female, the tailors easily adjusted to suit her height so that everything would look proportionally correct on her.  When they finished and looked between the three ladies, they gave a content nod.

We will have the outfits ready by friday, said the head seamstress.  Come by so we can do any last minute details.

Will do, said Celeste and thanked them as everyone was already scurrying out to the bus.

With Eve, Lu-Ti, and Celeste being the last girls in the tailor shop.  Lu-Ti did one last visual check of the room to make sure no one left anything behind.

I think we are ready to go, she said.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 201):

Eve nodded thankful hir build wasn't beyond the Tailors skills to fit. Excellent can hardly wait she responded eagerly. Stepping off the platform she collected her laptop slipping it into its hip sack picking up her cardigan she smiled at Celeste and Lu-Ti After you ladies.

Getting on the bus, many of the girls finally took note of Cel and her less than kept look.  She never made any notion of it and went about putting her glasses carefully back on and found a seat that she could lean back in.

If I start snoring, pour hot coffee or cold water on me, she said.  I may fall asleep.

Not long after boarding, she'd started staring out the windows and dozed off, but the phone buzzed and it was Adam.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 204):

Seeing Celeste snoozing, Eve fumbled for her mobile that she had slipped into the netting on the back of the chair in front of her. Flipping it open she turned her head away from Celeste Ms de Luca’s mobile may I help you
This message was last edited by the player at 22:44, Tue 11 June 2013.

Celeste heard her last name and raised up enough to peep an eye about and realize she had dozed off.  Her face flushed a bit but gave a partial smile at the situation.

Phone? she whispered to Eve.

 Adam Looked at His Cel, " Ms de Luca?"wow?..she has a secrataey now? Anyway..This  is Adam...er..um..Bronk?..JUst trying to get ahold of Cel?

Eve handed Celeste the mobile mouthing the name Adam. She then slipped from the seat to give her some privacy.

Celeste took hold of Eve's hand before she departed and gave her a warm smile.  She didn't have to leave her and Lu-Ti's company, Celeste was not that private of a person.  Most everyone knew that her and Adam were dating at this point, it should not be any surprise to any one that they talk on the phone.  Though Cel knew some people liked to give other's space.  She wanted to make sure that Eve knew shew as welcome to stay.

Celeste quickly wrapped up the phone call and learned that Ben was fixing supper for the four of them.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 209):

Eve smiled and gave Celeste's hand a warm squeeze. No problems she mouthed before heading to chat with the other cheerleaders

Some of the girls were chit chatting about this and that, but mainly about what they were going to be doing this week cheer routine wise.

With one last fitting of the new uniforms behind them, Celeste stood in the 30 mirror in the Dragonnette's locker room looking herself over for what appeared to be the 100th time.  She was trying to figure out exactly how to fix her hair for game day.  It was still relatively early in the evening and her and Adam had meet up briefly for an early brunch but departed due to their busy schedules this week.

She'd finally caught up on her much needed sleep, but missed the comfort of someone's arms.  Though both schedules this week didn't leave much room or time for simple things, that would have to wait until after the game.

Eve jogged into the locker room intent on taking a shower and refresh herself from her morning jog. As she entered she glimpsed Celeste fussing with her hair. Morning Boss she beamed

Surprised to see anyone here so early, Celeste turns to see Eve and gives her a big smile.

Morning, she said.  Finally heaving a big sigh, she heads to her locker where her clothes are folded neatly and begins to undress herself of the new uniform.

Just doing one last check to make sure no additional things need to be altered, she said.  She worked her way carefully undressing and placing the cheer-form back on its hanger for gameday.

Busy morning? she asks aloud.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 214):

Really... Eve replied considering the possibilities So what do you have planned for us mere mortals she asked slipping into a shower cubicle.
This message was last edited by the player at 05:36, Fri 02 Aug 2013.

Celeste finished up dressing as Eve showered.  She checked herself in the mirror in her work out attire and pulled her hair back in a pony tail for today, she was going to need to do that since some of their routines to practice meant cart wheels and handless flips.

Sleepless nights and worried days, she said.  You have anything in order for us today?

Refreshed and revitalised by the warm then cold shower Eve towled herself dry and dressed. Stepping from the cubicle she gave Celeste a myschievous grin For a start I was thinking of a pair up; of Dragonetts with Gymnastics backgound and those with Dance based background. Each pair would instruction the other in 12 activities, individual or partnered.
This message was last edited by the player at 05:43, Fri 02 Aug 2013.

Celeste gave Eve a cocked eye look and smirk.

Okay, she said slowly.  That would be quite interesting.  Is there something that you have up your sleeve?

She leaned against the edge of the entry towards the shower and crossed her arms.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 218):

Possibly she beamed It depends on how well this works if the squad could pull this off she'd see how they'd handle the next few exercises.

Celeste looked down with a smile and shook her head.  Then, I guess I'm off to warm up and stretch, she said. See you in an hour.

She headed off to the gym to do some stretches and weights before this new routine started.

The girls had gathered out on the practice field and was continuing or finishing up their stretches and warm ups awaiting Eve's arrival for their newest, modified routine.

Lu-Ti was taking the afternoon shift and group so it was still early in the day and Celeste was well more than mentally ready for this to start.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 221):

Eve jogged out to join the others Good mornint Ladies, I hope your well rested have warmed up and are ready for this mornings workout. We will be pairing up by build, one Dragonett with a dance background and one with a gymnastic backround. she paused to allow the dragonnets to absorb this then outlined the rest of her first exersise, asking if there were any questions.

All the girls minus Celeste had paired up, she looked between Eve and them and shrugged not accounting for the odd number of girls.

We can trade out, she said to Eve and the others.  I'll spot.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 223):

Eve glanced at her clipboard, noting that Celeste had a mixed background of Dance and Gymnastics. ooc is Eve matched up

Celeste let the girls pick their partners and she grabbed a bottled water that the trainers had brought out for them.  She looked to Eve and smiled.

Let's get started, she said with a pleasant smile.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 225):


Ladies; in this first session we're going to do it have, each member train their partner in an element, exercise, movement, action or routine of their choice; this will be based upon your respective Gymnastic or Dance training. Each Dragonette will receive reciprocal instruction from their partner. We will continue this until you each have instructed and been instructed in 12 techniques

Celeste walked through and around the girls as they traded off tricks, moves, etc.  She'd spot each one as she passed by.  Otherwise, she was letting Eve conduct this training session.

Eve passed amoungst the ladies pausing to watch what each pair was doing, made some notes then moved to the next pair. From what she could tell of the gymnastics which appeared to be going smoothly. She noticed a few slips or lazy shortcuts the dancers were attempting to pass on.

Once she'd completed a circuit of the pairs she ended up near Celeste. Could I get your advice about the gymnastics techniques the ladies are providing she quietly asked

Celeste looked about and noticed that a couple of girls were awkwardly showing another girl the least favorable way to do a move.  She made a mental note of it and looked at the other girls who were doing the moved properly.

It looks like that some of us need a bit brushing up on our technique, she commented back.  Though it looks like that some are showing variations of splits and flips.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 229):

Thats not good, I noticed the same with the dancers. Perhaps we should run them through a refresher, to get everyone working from the same base. she prompted.
This message was last edited by the player at 05:50, Thu 22 Aug 2013.

Celeste nodded in agreement.  Sounds like a plan to me.  You lead, she said.  Knowing when to step up and when to step back was one of Cel's strengths.

Gather around Ladies Eve prompts the Dragonetts. When they had formed a circle she looks about the group. To enable us to gain a commonality of principals we'll be revising the basics and establishing the groundwork to be used throughout the Squat. Could the Dancers join me and we'll work through these, similarly the Gymnasts will do the same with Celeste. She instructs

Celeste watches what Eve wants them to do and follows suit with the gymnists.  Careful to make sure that the structure and form of the basics are covered and not skimped over.

Running the dancers through a series of refreshers and corrections; they quickly established the basics which would form the groundwork for this process. After an hour Eve suggested they have a break before starting their normal pre-game practice

Celeste and the girls were doing some last minute warm ups and stretches along with some encouraging cheers trying to keep the mood light for the moment.  Celeste noticed Eve recommended a break for a bit and then would begin the new routine that they had practiced the day before.

The briefing or meeting ended quickly.  She was glad that the Coach recognized all their hard work.  She'd definitely have to commend Eve on her wickedly awesome ideas.

The girls slowly gathered into their own lockeroom and began undressing and getting ready for the after game party.

Ladies, ladies...fellow Dragonettes... she said loudly enough to be heard over the chatter.  She even stood up on one of the benches to be able to see everyone.  We had a good day.  No, let me rephrase, we had an awesome day.  It has to be one for the history books that we got mention individually by Coach Sims.  It is a monumental day...but I cannot take the credit myself.

Celeste bent down and handed her own pom poms to Eve.  This day goes to Eve for her dedication, long hours of prepping for our new cheers.  She gets the game day pom poms!

In reply to Celeste (msg # 236):

Eve glanced about the lockeroom her face flushing with embarassment it was times like this that she regretted having such a tall herritage. Taking the offered pom-poms she gave Celeste, Lu-Ti and the others a hurried smile. Thank you Celeste she stammered. Quickly waving them about Dradonettes one and all.

Rather gleefully, after their win, Sasha made her way to the locker room.  She made small talk with some of the other girls as they entered the room, joking how she wished they shared a locker room with the team, before moving off to her own locker.  Quickly she began to strip down before turning to listen Celeste.  Never had she ever thought there would be game day pom-poms handed out and was highly amused by the concept.  Smiling and shaking her head she called out congrats before grabbing a towel and heading into the showers.

Celeste and Lu-Ti cheered briefly and discussed over a few things before they split and Lu-Ti hit the showers and Celeste was heading out the door to go back to the town house.

Ladies, remember, after-party at The Rising Son, she said and scampered off out of the lockerroom and towards the townhouse community.

*SMS to Adam  Going to the After party at the Son?*

Sasha finished her shower and quickly changed for the after party.  Despite the massive mistake at the start of the game, she was in high spirits for the night.  The fact the team won pumped the young woman up more then she could have believed.  That was a feeling she could get used to.  When she finally finished dressing, she waved to those still in the locker room and headed out.

<<<To Rising Son>>>

By the time Eve finished typing notes she was alone in the Lockers. Slipping the notebook into her locker she hit the showers spending some time in the warm relaxing flow. After dressing she sat for a few moments staring at the pompoms deliberating on whether she'd head to the after game gathering or not.

<<Text from Celeste>>  After game party, Rising Son!  Come have fun.  See you there!

The tune from her mobile pierced the silence notifying her of the incoming message. Flipping it open she scanned the message from Celeste. Rising she finished dressing, glanced around the locker room flicked off the light switch and headed along the corridor to the car park. Passing the night watch station she informed Jarrod Meacham and Mark Waverly ooc please excuse the creative licence that she was the last from the Dragonettes area whished them a pleasant night then headed to her Chevy.
As she strolled towards the carpark, there was a sudden rush of movement and she felt strong two arm slip around her one covering her mouth the second around her waist. The speed surprise and shock prevented her from responding quickly enough to this.

  As the Taller  women was Grabbed, the   Chuckling of the  Drunken...angry...people slipped out... a Golf  car was  two rows  away, checking  the lot to make sure the cars that were still left, were  secure....and  some  Foot Security  From Amota Security were  walking, checking the  gates by the employee entrances and such.

 A Tallteller Blackman  shouted,HEY!...WHAT THE HELL YOU DOING! zzhr begins to  sprint  towards the  attackers, His  right  hand Draws a sidearm   as his  Left hand  Pulls out his whistle, that He Blows on the  Run...

  a second or two later  a whistle  from the other  end   Brings  a smaller  man sprinting up from the far end of the Lot, His  Sidearm out and  a Flashlight  Pointing in the direction of the  Attackers...The Golf Cart's  red Light came on as the two guards headed through he Lot  where they saw the Light..., the passenger  radioed in ...and More Guards  from the Lot  and   the stadium began to converge...

The sharp whistle blow roused Eve from her momentary shock. Grasping the arm around her waist she dug her nails into the persons forearm applying as much pressure as she could. The hand came away from her mouth only to deliver a blow to her head. A stab of light flashed before her as she crumpled forward pulling her assailant off balance, and they both fell to the ground.

 The Blackman who was a SGT in the  Amota Security team shouted,..LAST WARNING...WE AREPERMITTED TO USE LETHAL FORCE TO PROTECT...

  The Man witH Eve  Looked around ,seeing if he  could make it  to the cars  and Dodge them...

  His friend..wasn't so Lucky..the fellow with the Flashlight  Caught his attention, but he didn't see one of the golfcart  men running   behind him..there was  a 'zip' sound...and   flashes of  electric  charge  as the Stun Gun went off..the fellow Jerked  and fell to the Ground...

 ..Don't make me shoot you....it will take  wayyyy to much Money to get rid of your body.....

Eve clasped her head with one hand as she tried to look around the movement triggered a flash of pain to surge through her head down her neck and into her shoulder. Ouch that hurt she exclaimed.

  The  Guards  put her in the Cart and drive her back into the stadium, the  SGt talking on his Cell, to make sure the  Doc hadn't left  yet., They drive  down the tunnel to the Med Center of the stadium, and the Doc looked up concerned.

  once they sat her on the  table, the Doc  sent the Guards out   and checked her over.

 some 20 minutes later, the Doc said,..some bumps and Bruises..doesn't seem to be Concussed...you are one Lucky LAdy...

 the Guards  called back in, Yuto was there as well, looking  more then a little angry...Miss Eve? The two men have  been taking to New Jacksonville PD..the Club is going to Press charges..yuou are welcome to add your name to our  charges, and save yourself a lawyer feee...

In reply to eve (msg # 248):
Thank you Mr Yuto, I'd appreciate that; after all we can't have bullies and such roaming the street assaulting people. They are lucky Papa wasn't about.

  The Doc   checked out  the Films once more and shrugged,...if you were a Running back, or  a Linebacker. I would hold you out of next game...  he chuckles as he says this,..the Bum   and  loss of conciouness, would normally trigger    Portocols, But I think we can let you slide, Unless the dragoneetes are going to have contact Drills!...Go.. have fun. but i would take it  easy on hard drinks   and..maybe don't jump around too much for the next 2  days?..Come back and see me Wedensday, I'll be here  checking on  the Post GAme injuries for the players...

In reply to Eve (msg # 250):

So the slap to her head and subsequent fall to the ground weren't too serious she thought pleased to hear. Thanks Doc will steer clear of jumping and hard drinks. Wednesday it is then. she confirmed giving him a pleasant smile So are you attending the after game celebrations. She hoped he was. If so he'd be at the club and could be called on to ensure her Papa her injuries were'n serious.

  The Doc was putting  some Info on a IPAD and Nodded,..Yes, as a matter  of fact. I wanted to go home, But Yuto can  be very Instant, and he wanted me to stop in, get something to eat and  enjoy the win....do you need a ride?

In reply to Eve (msg # 252):

Yes thanks Doc that would be greatly appreciated, besides I don't want to be caught trying to skirt your advice. I can leave the Chevy here and pick it up later.

  Doc  drives Eve over to The Rising Son, they get the Valet to park his Bently

Yawning with a long stretch, then grabbing her robe tossing it on over her pjs. "So whats the game plan?" She asks as she fixes her morning French Vanilla coffee. "I mean im content just lounging around the house, but thats usually drab & boring. "Shyla says as she sits down at the table skimming through the days paper.

Next day....

Celeste had partaken it upon herself to go to her place to stay the night before.  She knew they were going to have a busy week and had already informed the girls to meet in the locker room early this morning dressed business casual.  Some of the girls were going to go to the hospital for the post game visit with gifts and about three of the girls were going to going to be on a radio talk show and would need to head to the station.

Celeste was the first one in the dragonette's locker room but had gotten a message from Lu-Ti that she was on her way.

Celeste had sat down on the couch near the entrance as she sent Adam a message that it was going to be a busy day on the girls side.  Not only was she going to the radio station, but she was also going to talk to the Sims about the after season girls football league and along with Sims and a couple of the other coaches, was going to be in a conference meeting with the other coaches of the league that wanted to participate.

Eve finished her morning run and headed to the lockers to shower and dress for the busy schedule ahead. Entering she noticed Celeste already inside tapping away on her ipod. Morning Celeste she greeted in passing.

Celeste had looked up when Eve said her name and she gave a smile back.  Are you ready for today? she asked.  Got quite a few things that we are doing today.  Are you up for a radio interview?

In reply to Celeste (msg # 258):

Radio interview Eve exclaimed near balking at the thought. Um was just headed to shower and change she tried to cover her surprise and aversion to being faced with such public exposure; which was something she was expected to deal with as being a Cheerleader is an in the face of the public profession.
This message was last edited by the player at 21:04, Sun 24 Nov 2013.

Celeste looked up as she could tell that the comment took Eve by surprise.  She gave her a playful look.

We'll be in a radio station, she commented.  It won't be televised, but it will be heard.  All we have to do is bring our peppy voices.

She paused to let that sink in for a moment.  Besides, you have plenty of time.  We don't have to be there until 930, airtime is 1015 for a mid-morning sports talk show.  I'm just hear early to help gather the girls and get the rest of them shuttled to the hospital for the post game meet and greet.

Running just a little later then normal, but still arriving with time to spare, Sasha entered the locker room.  Not knowing exactly what the day had in store, she was dressed in business casual as instructed.  In addition to that she carried a gym bag with additional clothes in case she had some free time as well.

She tossed her bag in the locker and turned to Celeste and Eve, "Hey."

Eve visibly relaxed pleased to hear the venue would be away from the public eye. That’s good to learn, it means I don't have to put any war paint on she commented mirroring her Papa's commentary about women’s cosmetics. Glancing about conspiratorially Eve leaned forward I try to avoid applying any of it the stuff makes my skin break out something chronic. Sasha’s arrival nearly caught her by surprise prompting Eve to sit-up with a start responding to Sasha's "Hey"  with a Good morning.
This message had punctuation tweaked by the player at 10:12, Tue 03 Dec 2013.

Celeste couldn't help but chuckle at Eve's father's idea of make up.  She agreed for the most part, but currently had on a sparse amount.

When Sasha walked in and greeted her and Eve, a few of the other girls had walked in but had headed towards their own lockers to stash their stuff.

Ah look the other girl that I had on the docket, she said looking from Eve to Sasha.  You're going on the air.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 263):

Eve looked from Celeste to Sasha then back at Celeste Do you know if the Station provied an overview of the line of questions the will be using. I wouldn't want to be caught unsuspectingly with any off stump wobblies

Celeste shrugged.  It can vary from station to station, she said.  Some want to focus in on us and our part in the team.  Others want to know about our volunteer and charity events, and possibly even about our rumored female football summer league. 

She put the phone down into her lap and looked between Sasha and Eve.

Then, there are the dog DJs, she said.  That want to know the personal stuff about us.  Those, we just sit, swallow, and try to focus on our jobs as Dragonnettes and avoid the questions as much as possible.

At first Sasha thought Celeste meant going on TV for some reason, but her answer to Eve's question clarified that.  Luckily Sasha manged to get the gist of what was happening rather quickly.  "Are we doing just one station or several."  She didn't know much about interviews, but knew sometimes people did several one right after another for a few hours.

"And why no give the personal stuff.  Anything that draws interest and fans to the team, right?"

Celeste stood as Lu-Ti came in dressed and ready for the hospital visits with the main group of girls and caught up with Celeste briefly.

Celeste looked to Sasha and Eve.  Just one today.

Have you ever had that one boy that you just couldn't seem to shake when you were in school, he was that infatuated with you? she said answered Sasha's question.  If you give the DJ's too much personal info, you'll have more than just one obsessed fan on your tail.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 267):

Eve resisted the instinct to Eeeuuu at the thought as the image of what her Papa put the last luckless lad, who fixated on her, through. She glanced at Sasha No thanks she prompted I don't think Papa would show as much restraint as he did last time that happened to me; and it just wouldd't do to have him arrested for assault.

Sasha smiled and shook her head, "I'm not talking about giving away addresses, just answering a few personal questions about ourselves and not having everything be about the time.  Just enough to draw interest, nothing more."  She paused before saying, "Anyways, I never went to high school.  Always had tutors provided by the coaches.  There were like six of us in a lesson at once, usually less."

The first group of girls headed out with Lu-Ti and this left Sasha, Eve, and Celeste to wait for their ride to the station.

Sure, she said.  You can tell whatever stories or details that you want about your experience.

She reached down and grabbed her briefcasey bag and lift it upon her shoulders.

You ladies, ready?

In reply to Celeste (msg # 270):

Eve stood adjusted her blows and slipped her bag over her left shoulder Certainly she beamed

Having tossed her bag in the locker, all Sasha carried was her purse.  "Unless there's something we need to bring, I'm ready?"

Let's get going then, she said.  They weren't too far behind the girls on the bus, but they would be riding a bit more in style.  As they walked out from the complex and through the double glass doors, a limo awaited them behind the bus.

The drive got out and walked to the passenger side to let the girls in.  Celeste looked back to Sasha and Eve to see their reactions.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lu-Ti peeped out one of the windows and yelled to the three.  I'm jealous, she said with a bright smile and pulled herself back in to get everyone lined up for the hospital.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 273):

Eve thought the Limo belonged to a guest of the Amota's, here to discuss business or just visiting. When the driver got out and opened the door she tried not to be too inquisitive watching to see who would emerge. When Lu-Ti called from the bus she glanced about in surprise, and wondered at the red carpet treatment. Celeste did you say someting about the radio station we're visiting being a RKO affiliate.

Sasha's eyes widened slightly when it became clear the limo was for them.  "Haven't been in one of these since the night before we left for the qualifiers years ago.  The coaches wanted us to blow off some of our nerves."

Hearing Lu-Ti call out, Sasha turned and playfully stuck her tongue out.  With a smirk she looked back at Celeste and nodded in agreement to Eve's question.  "Yeah, what warrants this type of treatment?"

Celeste looked at the two girls as soon as they got into the limo.

No, not that I know of, she said shrugging.  Not certain what RKO is actually.  Guess the Amotas felt like a goodwill gesture towards our interviews today.

She looked out as the bigger vehicle pulled out with the majority of the Dragonnettes.

I do know its one of the bigger radio stations here.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 276):

Eve acknowledged Celeste's correction, which assisted her to avoid making any reference to competitive Networks. Smiling Eve allowed Sasha to slip into the limo first then joined her in the back seat. Admiring the feel of the leather and aroma of wealth... thinking she could get used to this.
This message was last edited by the player at 05:43, Tue 17 Dec 2013.

After getting in Sasha leaned back in the seat and closed her eyes for a moment as she listened to Celeste.  "Guess we'll find out when we get there."

She rubbed the leather and glanced around the limo.  With a smirk she joked, "Note to self:  Marry someone with a limo."

Celeste had a laugh at Sasha's comment.

Why marry someone, when you've got that option right here, she said.  If you need one, all you have to do is request or ask the Amotas.

Celeste thought to herself and was curious who'd actually requested the Limo, but wasn't going to inquire too much.  She just thought it was a nice touch.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 279):

Eve considered the thought of being driven to all manner of Official events by limo. I suppose it'd get to be mundane after say the fifty five thousandth time.
This message was last edited by the player at 00:02, Sun 22 Dec 2013.

Sasha laughed softly and looked at Celeste, "True, but I won't be here forever.  And somehow I doubt the Amarta's will let a former cheerleader take this out for a night on the town."  And though she didn't say it, she doubted they would let a rookie cheerleader do the same.

She turned to Eve, "That's why he also needs to several sports cars as well."

In my experience, it's not what the guy can offer you materialistically, she said commenting and looking out the side window as they drove off.

It's what he can give you emotionally, from the heart, she said.  I can buy my own things.  I don't need a guy to do that for me.

The girls had pulled into a gated parking lot with a larger building nestled in behind the gate.  The driver stopped, showed his badge, pointed to the back, and waited a moemnt as the security guard reviewed his clipboard and motioned the driver in.

The guard did his best to peep in and see the passengers, but the tinted windows were too dark.

Celeste took a quick notice and simply shook her head.

Looks like we are here, Ladies.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 283):

Eve peered through the window hoping to glimpse the stations name. Turning to Celeste and Sasha This certainly was a smooth ride, are all limos this Luxurious or do you think they come in various makes or modles.

Sasha simply smirked at Celeste's comment about it being more than money, as if Sasha was just having fun with the conversation.  Then they pulled up to the station and the young woman's attention was drawn to the buildings.  Hearing Eve's comment, Sasha nodded, "This was better then the other limo I was in.  Only makes sense there would be different styles."

The driver stopped the limo and one of the building guards approached them and opened up the door.

Hello, Ladies, he said in a deep burly tone.

Celeste was closer to the door and slipped out first.

Hello, she said.  We are here for the morning talk show with Monty.  I presume he's waiting on us?

  the  Driver Poitns to a older woman that has a bit too much Make up,..Follow  me  Girls..Mr  Axe is in the studio, they have  the set  all ready to go....something of a surprise  for you all too..I think...

 she smiles as she turns and walks  to the main doors.

After Sasha exits the vehicle Eve gives the interior one last glance then slips from the limo joining the Celeste and Sasha as they head into the station.

Sasha exited the limo muttering to herself, "Mr Ace, Monty."  She was trying to search her memory for either of those names related to a local radio station but came up short.  The radio wasn't something she listened too that often, using music on her phone instead, and really had little idea who the DJs were anymore.

Smiling she moved to follow the other ladies into the station.

  The Set was lit.  a couch with Mics  Hanging all over  the place... two Monitors, for whatever  reason Monty Axe had them.

 Some  Young  women in short skirts  were Filling   Pitchers of  Ice Water, ...Lemonade  and  Iced tea, putting them on silvered trays  In front of the Couch. A Highbacked chair sat off to the right, it had its own Mic and a small table with  some Notes and such on it.

  in the Control booth, three Guys  were Looking  out the window as the Dragonettes came in..a Younger  woman with  short sleeves  and  tattooed shoulder  , gave on of them a whack  as he said something they could not hear.

  The  Woman who lead them in , stepped up to a Man dressed in a  Polo shirt, Gelled Hair  and  Mirrored  Sunglasses, he wore  cargo pants and dokers, and   had  silver chains on his  wrist, and   gold chains aroundhis neck.

 ..Mr Axe?...The Dragonettes.....

 The  Man turned and   waved the  woman  who had a  stack of papers  away, she ...reluctantly moved off. The Man smiled a greasy 'car salesman' smile as he offered his hand to them,..Helloooooo ladies....I'm Monte Axe...and  I am about to make  the Dragonettes houeshold names.....with your help of  course...this  show is going out  to my affiliantes  around the country...at least 2/3s of them, are in NFL  cities....there is going to be a camera on us  as well... The NFL station may..or may not ..use  some of it  in a pregame show...thata's up to them..if they do?..You girls..and me...will be compensated  for it...I must say..I am Glad some  one from the Dragons  agreed to come down here...I asked a couple  Players...That....  he snaps his fingers a few times...

 The older woman says,...Givens..Sir...

  yeah..yeah...him..he came on..but he was a bust...I asked that Little Guy?..wanted him to do a head to head with the DB  from Dallas?..He told me to go...well.....entertain myself....  he  smiled  the smile again...


 ..Now?..I had the girls   set up cold drinks....but no food..we  will have lunch after the show, if you wish?  But i figured you Ladies wouldn't want to be munching on the set...for some reson, Drinking   doesn't  bother anyone?...besides..the Lights  may  get a bit warm....

  leading them to the   set, he says..I will lead you into the conversations, for you to bring up what the Dragonettes do..and this  Off season womens  league...and then I have a  surprise for you all..should make for a great show!

As they trailed behind the lady escort, Celeste caught the looks of the guys in the studios and her own attention went to Sasha and Eve and gave them a smile.

When they finally came into the broadcast room, she looked at Monty and shook her head.  Now that she saw him, she could only dream what he was up to this time.

She let Eve and Sasha enter before her and take in the massive effect of stage shock since this was their few times.

When he'd commented on Adam and his response, she chuckled and finally came into the room.

Well, Adam does have a wonderful way with words, she said and took a seat across from him.  She motioned for the girls to do the same.  I can only imagine what you have in store with us, Monty.

She adjusted herself in her seat, pressing out with her hands her dress pants and crossing her legs.

Being the least senior member of the squad present, Sasha kept her mouth shut as she followed the others.  The most she did was offer friendly, and sometimes slightly flirtatious, smiles to those they passed.  Her eyes widened slightly as they were introduced to Monty Axe and he told them about the plan.  She had just thought they were going to be talking to a local station, not be broadcast around the nation.  For the first time since being told to come along by Celeste, Sasha felt nervous about the interview.

She took a seat next to Celeste as instructed, smiling at the description of Adam.  Only then did she speak up, "I'm sure we'll all have fun."  In the back of her mind she wondered about this surprise.  Considering the pranks and contests some radio jockeys do, she was slightly worried.

Eve glanced about the room noting the presence of Television Cameras, this brooded ill as did the approach of the Radio announcer Mr A Monty; he was the type her Papa often cautioned her sisters and herself about. Slipping into a chair alongside Sasha, Eve ensured her feet and knees were together, positioning as her Matter had instructed them from an early age being slightly angled to one side. Resting her hands together on her lap, the thumb of one hand pressing hard on the palm of the hand underneath which helped to alleviate her misgivings about the situation.

  ..Alright Ladies...when we get the Cue, the Mics  Come on..no cameras, until you see the Red Lights..and the  Monitors  come on..that won't be until close to the end...now?..Miss Celeste? I'll  ask you the first question about the Dragonettes and what your are  doing  as a group...and you grils take it from there..I may ask a question to keep the banter going?..But  if you girls  can keep the  show moving?..be my guest!

 ..Mr Axe?...on my Count...

 ..Ok, Baby..Thanks!  he waves to the window  then Motions  for the Girls to Clip on the tiny Mics, as he is  doing...when she say go?..Its show time...

 ...and...3....2...1....go!

  Hello Out there   In New JAcksonville, and..today..around the NFL...today..as My  Guests..I have  Miss Celeste  and a pair of her  Dragonettes....Celeste?...If we could  start the show of  simply....Intorduce your  teammates here...and..tell the folks out there, what the Dragonettes do..and what seperates them, from ..'other'..NFL squads?

Celeste watched Monty as he explained what they would be doing and going about the show.  She clipped her mic on and helped the other two if needed.

She gave a nod that she was ready and let Monty announce them.

Good morning, Monty, Celeste added.  I am Celeste de Luca of the Dragonnette's cheer league, the Head Cheerleader.  With me today, I have Sasha Black and Eve Ultracurvaceous, Sasha is one of my cheerleaders and Eve is our Routine Co-ordinator.  I would have to say what sets us apart is our volunteer work that is utmost important to all of us girls.  We go to the children's wing at the local hospital nearly weekly to visit them.  Lu-Ti, my co-Captain, is actually there right now with the other girls.

We've been in talks with the other franchises and the cheerleaders when the post season began to have a summer fundraiser and league established for the girls.  A series of football games to help raise money for each of the franchises selected charities.  The winner of the game will have their own "Super Bowl" trophy and a portion of all sales will go towards that franchise's charity.

Lu-Ti and the girls had finally arrived at the hospital and brought up boxes of their most recent shirts and novelty items.  She'd stopped at the nurse's station to announce their arrival.

The sounds of the children hearing the girls chattering amoung themselves, and the children getting excited, brought a smile to Lu-Ti's face.

Eve nods at the carsalesman; then directs a smile towards the crew who busy themselves attempting to make the radio announcer less of what he has become and more of what he should be.

 So?..you guys  aree gong to play a torney of sorts?....what type of  football?..how many on the  field , and where  will this  take place?

 He looks at the others and  asks,..and you girls  are  ok with this?..I mean....I have seen most of the  squads in my travels  around the   league, but...you know...they don't really look like football players...  he grins.

In reply to Dragonettes, (msg # 298):

Eve resists the impulse to roll her eyes at the announcers comment about them playing football. She wonders if anyone in the control booth will provide Monty with some written prompts.

It will be a set of games that we and the other cheerleaders will host during the spring and summer.  At this time, a couple of the teams have selected Flag option, but we have a couple that are game for full contact.  I am personally working with the other Head cheerleaders who've agreed with this to make all the games full contact.  We'll have padding and uniforms just like the guys do.

Since there are not as many cheerleaders as their are football players, the count on the field should be something like 5 or 6.  That accounts for a team of offense and defense teams.

The games will be held here or at the Stadium of that group's choice.

She'd looked from Eve to Sasha when Monty asked their thoughts and shook her head at his comment of not being football players.  She gave a chuckle.

Monty, what does a football player look like? she asked tilting her head to the side.  Are they all suppose to look like Marino, Roethlesberger, maybe even Givens or Sims?

She paused and gave a devilish chuckle.  We've got some of the best guys in the NFL, and they don't fit your "criteria" for a typical player.  Some are taller, some are smaller.  Bronk isn't much taller than me, he may have more muscle than me, but he can put a defensive player out of a game in a heartbeat if he gets in his way of a throw.  Then again, I may be impartial.

She keeps smiling.  Besides, you don't look like a typical Radio man, your not Howard Stern-ish, she licked her lips and her smile arched to one side as her eyes twinkled at her comeback.

Sasha waited for Celeste to finish before she spoke up.  "I don't know much about it just yet.  I may be wrong, but I think they're still working out some of the finer details.  But I'm good with it in theory.  It will be fun to do some competitive things again."

"Though I agree with Celeste.  What should a football player look like.  Some of the best in the league don't look like the majority of players in their position.  They just know how to use what they have to be the best."

Eve paused listening to the responses, chastising herself for not keeping up with the plans, making a mental note to find out about this as soon as possible.  She nodded in agreement at both Celeste's and Sasha's comments then looked at Mr Monty waiting for his reply.
This message was last edited by the player at 12:57, Wed 08 Jan 2014.

  Monty  looked over each of the girls  , like he might have been browsing a porn magazine,...well LAdies..football players  sure don't looklike you!..I know there are some   Female  contact leagues..last count there was some 100 teams scattered over the country...but? well...you folks  look like  Cheerleaders....

 He pointed at Cel , when she made her retort about him,..now , you are not the first to say that...I take pride  and not being the run-of-the-mill studio jock..and Howard Stern?..Please...I...at least...am good looking!

 ..now?..before  we go a bit deeper into this Cheerleader...league?...Tell our people more about the charities?

 then He moved a hand to swept them all in the question,...but first?..tell the folks out there...how, why..you became a Dragonette?

Celeste had to chuckle at his comment of still being attractive.  Though this would not be a new "league" of female players, we are doing this as a not-for-profit charity benefit, she added.  Regardless, we are cheerleaders, but we like to do things for the less fortunate.  Why not make use of the attributes and abilities that we do have and apply it towards something that is more rewarding?

Celeste paused as he spoke about other charities.

The Dragonnettes biggest one to date is our work on the childrens floor of the local hospital.  We also do various other local benefits, but the hospital is our biggest even thus far.

Celeste paused at that and let the other two girls explain how they became a Dragonnette.  She wanted the other girls to feel just as special for being a Dragonnette as she was.

Sasha waited for Celeste to finish discussing the charities before answering the second question.  "Well, all I've ever really done in my life is gymnastics, training for the Olympics.  When I came up short, I banged around a few odd jobs when one of their scouts recognized me from a gymnastics meet and suggested I try out.  The rest, as they say, is history."

   Monty nodded at their   reasons for  ending up Dragonettes,so?..If  I may ask?  This is what..a Job?.... something to do, until you can land a 'real job"?...I know the Cowgrils change thier people  almost every years, some move on, some  get cut....?  Once more He looks them over  as he awaits their answer....His eyes stray to the Booth as the  chick with the Head phonses  tells him how much  show time they have yet.

This is our job, said Celeste.  There's nothing else I'd rather be doing than this.

She crosses her leg and shifts in her seat.  The Amotas take the Dragonettes and this position on the team as seriously as he does the players on the field.  You don't come in our Stadium or complex as if it were a day in the playground.  This is our livelihoods and our passions.

Do you consider this your hobby? she asked in return.  Or do you eat, sleep, and breathe everything you do here.

She looked around at the cast and crew of the station to see not only his reaction but theirs to his position or their own.

Sasha shrugged, "No, this is a real job.  One I plan on doing as long as I can.  I can't say it's always been my dream like some girls on the team.  As I said, that was to make the Olympics, but I've had more fun since I joined the squad then I've ever had in my life.  Won't give it up without a fight."

  well then? you girls  really have a sweet spot?...the Cowgirls..and  maybe  the  Chargerettes get paid decent, but only on a per game basis....Not sure about opther teams...If I unde3rstand it?..Your  group  when on away games during Preseason?..was that a stunt?..will you be doing  it this week?

Eve was about to provide input as to why she joined the Dragonetts when MM chose to compare their squad to those of the Cowgirls and Chargerettes. Surely he was aware all cheerleader squads were paid by the clubs they represented. she thought

What our salary cap or commission is, would be in the hands and minds of our bosses, she commented.  That remains on the Amota's table, not for us to entail.  We are proud of our jobs, position within the league, and other cheerleader standings.  For that, we get paid for the job that we do, much like any one who has a job in the here and now.  We enjoy it well enough to do it time and again with a brazen smile on our faces.

Celeste tilted her head at Monty's question, her brow furrowed not only in confusion but if her assumptions were right, aggravation.

Stunt? she said vexed.  Please, do explain your wording, Monty.

If it was what she'd thought, her gaze lingered to Eve to hint off that it was the fresh idea of mocking the other cheer teams routine.

  ..well... what  we heard  from the Steelers Girls, was you...seems to  be...going out of your  way to make them look bad?

Celeste couldn’t help but chuckle at the comment.

I suppose that the Steelerettes are a reputable squad, she commented.  Not like I didn’t live, near there, and attend college, near there, she said pausing.  I just don’t feel that they qualified my needs.

She looked to Eve.  Eve, she said.  What do you think of our tactful routine?

In reply to Celeste (msg # 313):

Eve acknowledged Celestes unspoken comments.
Mr Monty do you think the only contest taking place in a football stadium during a game is limited to the field. For shame if you do. For as long as there have been Cheerleaders involved in the sport, they have strove to support the Teams they work with. Rousing steadfast and loyal fans, providing encouragement during lulls and motivating each in support of the Teams heightened plays.
This support may not be as central as the match but it is every bit as exacting and in reality often more so than that taking place on the field. Cheerleaders to a great extent are continually at work through most of the game; added to this is the unspoken contest they have with their opposites. If you presume initiating a new outlook in this contest is a stunt, I suggest changing your hairpiece is more suited to that classification.

  The Hosts  chuckles  and smiles, his  hand  goes to his  well oiled hair as if to make sure  each strand is in place...the rings  Glittering in the  spot lights, Well...Miss Eve? My hair..is real..so using a hair piece  would be a stunt!

  The signal from the  Booth, the tattooed  chick points to the Monitor.Ahhh..it seems our affiliate  is ready for us...Please, Girls, divert your attention to the  screen as we have...from  San  Franciso  Miss Alexia Ruiz?   She...was at one time, the Head Cheerleader of the   Dragons?  Hello Alexia..I suppose  I do not need to Introduce my guests?


 Alexia, with her  two sidekicks waved and Giggled at the  Screen, Alexia  spoke up,Well...I Know  Celeste..the other Girls ...i can't remember, Monty..they must be a part of the handful that goes in  and out those doors.... she smiled sweetly.

  How are You doing  , Celste, Sweetie? You remember   Ginger  and Roxey?  the other  two  girls  did Finge rwaves  with their best Photo Opt  smiles.

In reply to monty (msg # 315):

Eve cringed inwardly at the sight of these neopreps; who exemplified the atypicla Cliché mentality. Giving the screen a professional smile in the hope it would conceal her thoughts.

Sasha bit her lower lip as Alexia appeared on the screen.  That quickly turned into an annoyed frown as the other woman spoke up.  It might not be the best thing for her career, but Sasha couldn't help but fire back.  "That's because we never met, my dear.  I filled the spot when you left.  Or at least I think it was you.  They said something about a no talent hack and I thought of you."

Celeste saw the aggravation bubbling at the epicenter between the new girls and Alexia and her shadows.  She bursted out laughing when Sasha finally spoke up.  She couldn't help herself.

Doing quite well with our new Dragonnettes, Alexia, she said.  We are doing quite well as a unified team and improving every day since you've departed.  Adam, James, and I were just talking about the overall improvement of the team the past few weeks.  James is rather a nice dancer.

  Monty  just sat back with a grin, as he looked at the screen, while the  girls talked.

 ..Oh?....I wondered why I didn't  recognioze your..'Dear"...I guess there are alot..Girls  for hire  down there?


 Roxy and Ginger Giggled.


 Alexia's  brow  furrowed a bit,..Ahhhh..Yes..James..He  always  was good on his feet....Is  Adam still on the Team?

Absently Eve smoothed a pleat in her gown as she waited for either Monty or the former Dragonetts to present a reasonable topic of conversation. Which considering their feeble attempts at banter, may take days.

Celeste shook her head and sat up straight in her seat.  But of course, she said.  We are taking very good care of James as well.

She disregarded anything else that was said or the other two girls in the back.

So Monty, a reason for bringing us all together is why?  she asked becoming a bit more flustered at this point.

  Alexia  smiled  a condescending smile,Something  wrong  Celste,  sweetie? Monty didn't tell you?..Why Monty?..I thought  she  was already Filled in?

 mnty Grinned at the CAmera  then waved   off Alexia,..Now..Now..You have to permit me  my little surprises..it is my show, after all... Looking at the three dragonettes. Monty Grinned...As you Know..Alexia  has made quite a name  for her  self on the "left Coast"...The NFL heard of your plans  for   cheerleader football for charity, and  Called me, about  handling the Production...My first thought was to Call Alexia..and see what she  could do from the west coat to the Midwest, while I worked on the  East Caost towards the Midwest....when all is said and done...8 teams will be torney... JAcksonVille , San Diego, NY Jets, Oakland, Denver, New Orleans, Miami, and Dallas..the  Other Teams said they would  join next year..but could not , for the Time the torney was set....

4 teams  will Compete  in San diego..play a round  robin, with the winner the West coast Champion....4 teams will Compete in Jacksonville, the same way..the Winner will be the EAst Coast Championship..the Two will meet...In Jacksonville this year..since the dragonettes where the   Girls who came up with the Idea..for the Over  All Cheerleader Championship...

 ..The rules  will be  8 man football..it will be flag fottball this year...and leave it  open for contact next year....Each Team will pick a local charity  to 'play for"...when the  round robins are over...all 4 teams will split the Proceeds evenly for thier charities...however...for the championship game, the Winner  will Get 60% of the proceeds..the Losers  40%...so?..if you can win the  round Robin you'll get 25% of the proceeds when the torney ends....if you win the championship, your  charity will gain another  60% from the championship game....everyone  will bring something home, but..the winners  will....take more....

  Alexia  is  also goign to be  touring the cities  of those whose Cheerleader's will be in the torney...doing interviews with the cheerleaders and some of the  Players of that team.....the torney will be held a week after the   April draft..with the championship, the next week...

 He  sat there with a grin...Alexia clapped her hands together  and smiled.

Celeste was more than glad to hear the news that more teams were joining with open options for the next year.  The charity information, even better, the end result...well not so much.

Celeste sat up with a bright smile.  I'm quite certain that the Amotas and Lu-Ti will be glad to hear the news, I know us, three, most certainly are.  Those of us that are currently Dragonettes will be proud to display our pride for our team.  Whether we win or lose, we are here for those less fortunate....

Celeste looked to the camera and screen where Alexia and her goons were looking back.

Not for own vanities.  Besides, we'll be having one of the best football wide receivers cheering us on...Adam Bronk!

  Her  Smile Dropped  for a Moment, but the  Homecoming Queen smile came back quickly,..I..Um..thought i heard trade  rumors  for Adam?


 Monty  looked at Alexis , then  to Celeste,..nothing came across my desk like that?

 Ginger   giggled  a bit,are any of you girls  Going to play?

Celeste chimed in before Eve or Sasha had a moment to speak.

Oh, really, she said tilting her head.  No trade.  Guess you heard wrong.  He's still a Dragon....unlike you.

    The Man  chuckled, his eyes  went to the Booth as the Tattooed  girl showed him , he had only a few minutes of airtime left...well?...I have heard no rumors..and I have to think..that  would be kept under wraps...He may be small?..but the dragon Nation loves the little guy...i think...anyway...We'll see you when you come into  town to promote the  Torney...

 ..We shall see , as the trade  deadline nears....We will see you then  Sweetie! the Girls finger wave at the Dragonettes and their  Screen goes blank.

  Monty turns to the CAmera and  sees that the feed is off, but the radiom Mic is on, he   says,..that's  all we have time for toady...Dragon Fans?  Keep a look out   for  the Dragonettes appearnaces...and give them you'er  support!

 The Tattooed girls  Voice  came over the speakers,...annnnddd..Cut..good Job....

 Lights  flicked on as the spotlights  went out. Monty stood and Offered his hand to each of the dragonettes,..Thank you Ladies, for  coming...I have to think, that the   Girls who didn't join up for the torney are going to be a bit  upset. when they see how much Promos go into this thing....You'll be getting hit up for  spots that they will run in December and playoff time, so folks  can look forward to your games.

In reply to Monty (msg # 326):

Eve relaxed now the cameras were no longer running. It wasn't that she minded being filmed it was being caught unprepared that urked her something serious...it was like, worse than liver. she gave a half smile at the thought... Turning to the other Dragonetts So what do you think, this guy appears to be quite pally with those three

Celeste nodded at Eve’s inquiry about the camaraderie between Monty and Alexia and crew.  She thought for a moment that she would sneak Steele away and ask if he recalls her mentioning Monty to him or not or ask some of the PR people about previous interviews or interactions between the quadruplets.

Either way, she comments.  We are done.

Her tone was curt and frank as she stood from the seat.  Nice doing business with you Monty.  Don't call us, we'll call you, she said.  Best of luck seeing you, er hearing, from you later.

She motioned for the two girls to follow back out to the limo.  She’d memorized her way from the studio and to the front door shooing away any one willing to help.

As she stepped out the door and looked back at the stadium she shook her head.  I will not be doing another interview here, ever.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 328):

Eve was content to leave the Station. Nodding at Celeste’s expression which mirrored her own What’s the world coming to airheads thinking up leading situations trying to embarrass their guests. Or do you think Tattoo was behind the whole thing.

  as they  were leaving  he grinned,ohhhh,..don't worry..we'll  be  seeing you for the Promos!

  When the  left the Building the   Limo driver Opened the door,..where to , Ladies?

Celeste shrugged.  I don’t know, but I knew something was fishy.  He’s always butting his VJ nose where it doesn’t belong, she got into the limo quickly.  She was ready to get away from here and fast.

I sure hope I don’t see him any more than I have to.  To the hospital please, she said.  Now...for the fun stuff!

 The Man  bowed slightly,..Very Good  Ma'am...Hospital it is... he held the  door for the ladies, then closed it  once they were all in....soon, they were on their  way to the   Hospital

Sasha silently walked out of the studio with the other girls and didn't say a word till they climbed into the limo and were all alone.  Only then did she look at Celeste, "Considering you were the one trying to get this set up, they knew a lot more about what's going on then us.  Somehow, I don't think just Monty and Alexia were behind that set up.  Someone wanted to make the whole interview into something that would draw media attention."

Eve was relieved they were out of that den of depravity and intrigue. Yes, The Hospital will be an excellent tonic from that place she thumbs towards the station. Where we can do something very productive.she beamed

Now that everyone had returned from the hospital or the radio talk show, everyone was in the dressing room either to go back to the dorms or to go work out.  Some to meet up with the other's as they head out to go do their own thing.

Lu-Ti was waiting for Celeste and the others to come back to discuss the results of the talk show.  They'd left the hospital early as one of the children had gotten sick and hospital staff didn't want to risk the health of the others.

Having waited what seemed like eternity, Lu-Ti had dozed off on one of the leather couches, her Dragon jacket spread across her.

Celeste entered the lockeroom and put her hands on her hips as she notices Lu-Ti asleep.

*I'm moving along the RP to keep it flowing*

 One of the Girls    was standing by the Mirrors messing with her  makeup....Young  Mr  Amtoa is having a send off party tonight!....guess we break out the Dragon stomp...maybe check out the New Guys!....

Celeste looked to the girl in the mirror.  A send off party? she asked crossing her arms.  I guess I've been so busy I've not paid attention to my memos.  What type of sending off party?

She walked closer and rested against the wall closest to her.

  One of the Girls    turn and Look at Celeste with the  OMG look..a hand on her hip, the other  Hand  Holding a Lipstick,..Us?...The Team...to Indy?  the Game?

In reply to Dragonettes (msg # 338):

Eve half grimaces at the disclosure, she too hadn't been keeping up with the latest, briefs, notes and preperations. That Monty and his side kicks sure did a number on the Dragonetts. Knowing that the Squad could weather the effects and any possible backlash.

Celeste just as weathered and weary after the interview they just had, much like Eve, found a seat and flopped into it.

Sorry girls, she said.  Yeah we'll be there.  Today has been more than crazy and if you see or hear the interview, you'll see why. 

She looked to Eve and Sasha.  Looks like we've got some prettying up to do.

She pulls out her phone and gives Adam a small, headachey reminder and piece of her mind.

Why no message about the party at the rising son?  Did you send me one and I didn't see it?  Ugh...I hate Monty!!!

  Adam Text back ...just found  out  from  Coach 10 minutes agao..goping to film room...then have to clean up..catch up with you at the Son

Ben called Lu-Ti to ask if she was free tonight. "There's a party at the Rising Son if you are interested? Do you want to eat there or shall I cook you something beforehand?"

   ..Hello?...Miss  Celste ...seems  some  Radio station in Indy has  tried to make  us look bad  with a false PR stunt...it  BAck fired..it  appears   Ben and Adam started something here..there are TV people here...you thinkl yuou could scrae up...some Dragonettes..come down to the MAin dining room?
