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?
