HERE WE GO AGAIN

''Welcome back sports fans! The next galactik football cup is just a few days away and we're here on Genesis stadium with the snow kids.'' said Cally Mystics ''So Aarch how do you fell?''

''Well Cally, like aways there's a lot of pressure, but I think that we've proven to every one that we're a good team and that we're going to give our best to defend the cup.'

''And what about you D'Jok?''

''I say I have to agree with Aarch. We all gave all of us and will do it again.'' said D'Jok with real determination in his eyes.

''Because it's OUR DESTINY right?'' said Micro Ice imitating him with every one laughing. D'Jok, forgetting that they're in a studio, started looking for pillows to trow at his annoying best friend.

''Well folks that's all for tonight. I just have one more thing to say and that's GO SNOW GO! GO SNOW GO!''...

(of stage after the show)

''Well that's over with' said Tia stretching herself in her green dress. ''Do you guys have any plans for tonight?''

''I have a photo shoot in about 15 min.'' said Mei.

''Me and Mark are going to the new club that opens tonight. Anyone wants to join in?'' said Yuki

''Count me in!'' said Micro Ice just to get away from D'Jok' blood red eyes.

''What about you Thran, you guys in?''

''Well sleeping beauty over there isn't going anywhere...'' said Thran looking at Ahito who was asleep on one of the sofas.

''And neither are you!''

Everybody looked up to see one very unhappy Aarch staring at them.

''Coach?'' numbed Rocket almost frozen.

''Like Cally said the cup is only a few days away and we have to get on our feet.''

''But coach, I think that we're big enough to decide what to do on a Saturday night.'' said D'Jok.

''Yes, that's exactly right. You are big enough, big enough to understand the importance of the matter. Wining the cup two times in a roll is unbelievable ...''

''Ya that's my point..'' continued D'Jok

''No..., it was more like a miracle! And to have any chance to do it again now we'll need an even bigger one!''

Those words made everybody quiet.

''I want you all in the training room in about 15 min.'' said Aarch living the room and the snow kids behind him.

''Great!'' said Mei angry that she couldn't go to her photo shot.

(in the training room)

''Ok snow kids, get into position. Clamp load the Xenons.''

''Coming right up Aarch.''

The ball went into the ear. D'Jok and Luur jumped up to get it. Luur was faster. A xenon received the ball and head strait to the goal. Mei was so out of it that she didn't even noticed when he had passed her.

''Mei! get you head in the game!'' Aarch yelled so laud that the entire team froze, a distraction that the xenon used to mark a goal.

''Aarch, take it easy.'' said Dame Simbai trying to calm the man down.

''You have to concentrate. You can't let them take control of the game in the first ten seconds! You're the champs, so start acting like ones.'' Aarch continued not paying any attention to Simbai. ''I want you show me the spirit and the team work that won the cup two time in a roll. Let see if you still have it.''

''Ya, we still have it!'' screamed Micro Ice not able to contain himself. ''Lets show him!''

''Wow Micro don't forget I'm the captain'' said D'Jok laughing.

''He's right. Let do this guys!'' said Rocket.

(all together) 'GO SNOW GO! GO SNOW GO...'

''That's our Aarch. He aways knows how to make things interesting.'' said Clamp.

After 10 min the team tied the score with a back-flip goal by Tia.

''Yes, that's it. Keep it up.'' said Aarch.

After another 15 min the snow kids took the lead with a goal by Rocket.

''Ok everyone that's it for tonight.'' said Clamp turning off the holo-trainer.

''So, how did we do coach?'' asked Thran waiting impassion Aarch's answer.

''Well, I guess we still have a chance to win. If you play like this every time I'm sure we can do it again.''

''We'll try.'' said Rocket.

''You have the rest of the night free to do whatever you want, but I suggest you get some rest. Tomorrow I want you all back here at 9:30 am.''

Aarch, Simbai and Clamp left the room.

''If we hurry we can make it in for the big club opening.'' said Mark.

''Yes, let's go have some fun. Who's in?'' asked Yuki.

''Well, my photo shot is now officially ruined, so I'm coming with.'' said Mei ''What do you say D'Jok?''

''Count me in!''

''Hey Tia, Yuki come with me. I have just the outfits for the occasion!'' said Mei.

''Thanks, but Rocket and I have other plans.'' said Tia with a big smile.

''Wha...? We do...?''said Rocket completely clueless.

''Yes, we do. Bye!'' she said and grabbed Rocket's hand, literally dragging him out of the room.

You could hear Rocket's ''Where are we going... hey...hey wait a second...'' all truth the hallway.

''Come on Ahito, or we're going to be late.'' said D'Jok.

''I'm going to bed'' said Ahito yawning.

''Are you sure you don't want to come?''

''Thanks anyway but I'd rather sleep.''

Ahito looked more tired than usual and as he tried to get up his feet trembled.

''Are you ok?'' Thran asked feeling that something wasn't right.''Are you having another...''

''NO! I'm just tired...'' mumbled Ahito ''Have fun!''

And just as that he left the room leaving Thran speechless looking at the door.

''Hey Thran, snap out buddy! We have to go now! I can't wait to see what Yuki's wearing.'' said Micro Ice almost drooling.

''Micro you'll never change...'' said Thran giggling.

''Hey what's that supposed to mean...'' said Micro turning red.

(somewhere in Genesis's park)

''Are we there yet?'' said Rocket wearing a blindfold.

''Almost... Here we are.'' said Tia taking the blindfold off.

''Hey this is just Genesis's park.''

''What were you expecting?''

''Well you know, you've been dragging me around for about an hour... Now that I think about it, I haven't been here ever since...''

''Let's not think about that now. Actually, the real surprise in over there. Come on!''

A couple of steps away Rocket find himself facing a table for two.

''Wow! How did you do all of this?''

''There are some good sides to being the ambassador's daughter, you know.'' said Tia smiling, looking Rocket strait in the eyes.

After a good meal Rocket and Tia laid down on a blanket staring at the artificial sky. It was quiet. Tia was feeling very safe and comfortable in Rocket's arms. It looked like a perfect moment, but Rocket seemed to be distracted.

''I can stay like this forever.'' said Tia with a really gentle voice.

''Ah... what did you say?'' said Rocket snapping out.

''Nothing... Are you still thinking about that...?''

''You mean netherball... yes. Some times it hunts me in dreams... it seems that whatever I do I can't shake it of completely...''

''I see...''

''Hey...'' said Rocket lifting Tia's chin up to face him. ''...that doesn't matter now. The important thing is that I'm here and we are together. I promise I won't leave your side ever again.''

Tia rose up a little and gave Rocket a kiss.

''I hope you never do...'' she said hugging him like never before.

(somewhere in the outskirts of Genesis)

A young boy, the age of the snow kids was siting in front of a big TV.

''...I just have one more thing to say and that's GO SNOW...''

''Turn it off. I've seen enough.''

''Fine Harris, but I still don't understand what's the deal with you man.''

''Hey, it's Mr Harris for you punk and you don't need to understand you just need to do whatever I say, got it!'' grouched Harris.

''Hey, don't get your nickers in a twist old man. I just wanted to know why did you wait until the beginning of the cup.'' said the boy ''Guess you're just lazy.''

''Passions Ben, soon you'll see all I have in plan... soon everybody will see...''...
