"Okay ladies settle down!" Coach Bailey ordered.
Coach Miranda Bailey was the head coach of the University of Washington softball team. They have been very successful in recent years only losing about 7 games in the conference in the past four years. The softball team was the Universities pride and joy. Everybody who was anybody where at each home game, and occasionally a few away games. Four time all-American Arizona Robbins was the star pitcher she had the aim of cupid and arm of a Spartan. Arizona led her team to victory after victory. But now that her eligibility is over, Arizona graduated and became the Graduate Assistant for Coach Bailey.
"We have a knew edition to our team. Callie Torres transferred from the University of Miami and she will arrive here in two days. I want you guys to make her feel welcomed. Torres will be a great addition to our team and this upcoming season we will need our bond as strong as ever." Coach Bailey informed.
A blonde hair blue eyed woman ran up to the group, breathing heavily before she spoke. "Sorry I'm late Coach, I had some things I had to take care of." She spoke between deep breaths.
"As you all know Arizona is my new GA. You will refer to her as Coach Robbins. And she will set good examples for you and wont be late again ,right?" Bailey cut her eyes at the Blonde.
Arizona blushed in embarrassed and nodded sheepishly.
"Okay ladies, lets get started you know the drills." Bailey said.
The group turned and headed to the practice softball field.
"Don't think that was the best way to start the season of with Bailey, Coach Robbins." Teddy Altman a senior and the catcher, teased.
"Whatever Teddy." Arizona smirked at her best friend. "Your drill partner is waiting" Arizona looked over to Joanne who was glaring out them. Joanne was a senior and now first staring pitcher since her ex-girlfriends departure form the team.
"I am not going to enjoy this season." Teddy sighed as she walked towards the dirty blonde.
(Two Days Later)
The group sat in a semi-circle on the grass in the outfield.
"I heard the new girl is a big shot pitcher." A red head beauty named Addison spoke among the group.
"I'm the pitcher!" Joanne snorted.
"Well you better watch out, because from what I heard. She might be taking your place." Addison smirked, causing their team mates to laugh.
"W-What did you hear?" Joanne let panic appear. "What the fuck did you hear Addy?"
Addison ignored her question and sparked a conversation with a few members of the team.
"Well speaking of the devil", Cristina Yang, short stop and 1st year all American, spoke up.
The group turned around to catch a glimpse. Two figures were coming into focus .Bailey and ravened haired woman approached the group.
Once she caught sight of the brunette, Arizona's breath hitched. "More like angel." Arizona mumbled.
Teddy heard the comment and looked at the blonde weird before turning her attention back to the new girl.
Next to Bailey stood the most beautiful Hispanic woman she ever seen. She had the most entrancing deep brown eyes that anyone could get lost in forever. And that's just what Arizona was doing. Arizona was so concentrated on the Latina's beauty that she didn't notice someone calling her name until Teddy nudged her.
"Ouch! What?" Arizona whipped her head to see why Teddy made her tear her eyes from such beauty.
"Coach Robbins will show you around. If you need help with anything, your team and Coach Robbins and I are here." Bailey informed. "Okay lets get to work Ladies." Bailey turned and left.
The group fell into a uncomfortable silence. Arizona watched as Callie shifted her weight uncomfortable under Joanne's threaten stare. Senses that she should relieve the tension Arizona cleared her throat before speaking up.
"What is your name again?" Arizona forced out.
"Uhm Callie. My name is Callie Torres."
Arizona could tell the brunette was nervous. "Callie." She repeated. "Is that short for something?"
Callie blushed a little, sending chills up Arizona's spine. "Yes, but I rather Not say…"
"Aw come on Callie, it cant be that bad. Lets here it!" The blonde was perky.
Callie found herself giving in. It was something about Arizona that interests her, she couldn't put her finger on it yet. "It's short for Calliope."
An obnoxious laugh exploded from the group. "Calliope?" Joanne continued. "What the hell kind of name is that? Were you parents high or something?"
"Shut up Joanne!" Addy practically yelled.
"Well I think its beautiful." Arizona gave a dimpled smile that almost stopped Callie's heart, and shutting up Joanne. "I'm Arizona Robbins, the GA." Arizona reached her hand out. As soon as their hands touched, Arizona felt a bolt of electricity run up her arm and straight to her heart. The flustered look on Callie's face told the blonde that she felt the same. Clearing her throat a second time Arizona tore her hand away from the brunette's.
"This is the team, the Grey sisters, Meredith and Lexie Grey. Meredith is first base, Lexie is third." She gestured between the two as they each shook Callie's hand. "This is Teddy Altman, the catcher. Addison Montgomery, second base. Everyone calls her Addy though." Arizona pointed to the two. "That's Cristina Yang, short stop. And she is Joanne Chambers, pitcher." Cristina nodded in acknowledgement, however, Joanne said nothing, not even looking her way. "This is April Keptner and Aundrea Lopez, both outfielders." Each smiled and waved. Parts of the team began to separate leaving Aundrea, Callie, and Joanne behind.
"What position are you?" Aundrea asked with a thick Mexican accent.
"Oh uhm Pitcher." Callie smiled.
"Well you better like trees, because you will be riding that pinewood this season Calliope." Joanne huffed. The shorter girl brushed passed Callie making sure her shoulder bumped harshly into the Latina's.
Callie furrowed her brow and sighed deeply.
"Don't worry about her. She is a grade A bitch. Plus you're a threat." Aundrea explained.
Callie nodded knowingly. She knew exactly what it meant to have someone new being brought in for the same position as yours.
"So where are you from?" Aundrea asked.
"Miami." Callie answered nonchalantly.
"Eh Miami wow. Eso es caliente!" Aundrea said enthusiasm. "Wait you can speak Spanish right?"
"Que tipo de latina seria yo si no podria ser?" Callie grinned finally finding some common ground with a team mate. "So where are you from?"
"The streets of Fresno baby!" Aundrea pumped her fist in the air.
Callie laughed amusingly at the enthusiastic latina. "California huh? Must be fun."
"Not as fun as you think. Its nothing like the movies where I'm from." Aundrea mood dropped a little.
"Oh." Callie said as they approached the group putting on gear in the locker room.
"Okay lets go out here and have a great practice!" Arizona's voice rang through the crowded room.
