Paige McCullers is a tennis player and she is named one of the top players in tennis. Her father Nick always makes sure she is training and eating right, he used to be a tennis player years ago. Everyday Nick train with Paige from early morning until the afternoon. Nick always wants Paige to win every game and train hard. Paige's best friends Lucas and Toby, they always cheer for Paige at every tennis game, and the three of them have been friends since they were three years old. They are always telling Paige to take a break and enjoy being a teenager for the day but Paige sometimes can be stubborn.
Lucas is at the tennis court watching Paige practice, Paige has been up since seven am right now it's almost four in the afternoon.
''Page aren't you tired? You need to take a break and just have fun today.'' Lucas asked.
''Paige that's it for today and tomorrow we will practice.'' Nick said.
''Okay dad.'' Paige said.
''Please just drive Lucas home and straight back home.'' Nick said.
''I'm not a bad influence on her.'' Lucas said and Paige laugh.
''Paige knows the rules.'' Nick said.
''I won't take Paige on a dangerous path.'' Lucas said and Paige laughs again.
Nick's phone start to ring and he picks it up then walks away. Paige pack her stuff and they start to walk around the tennis court watching everyone practice. They watched Spencer Hastings practice and she is a very good player, Paige and Spencer used to be friends but when got into high school they grew apart and stopped talking. They walk away and they watched Red bull practice.
''His name is Red bull.'' Paige said.
''Because he is Native American?'' Lucas asked.
''He is addicted to caffeine that's why.'' Paige said.
''Wow.'' Lucas said.
''Hey Paige, great game. Great weather, tennis gets me pumped. What's your name?'' Red bull said fast.
''It's Lucas.'' Lucas said.
''Lucas. You look like a Brendan too me.'' Red bull said fast.
He goes back to training and they walk away.
''Who is that?'' Lucas said.
''I don't know her.'' Paige said.
They watch a girl with long raven hair and tan skin practice. She is wearing blue training bra and black tennis shorts suddenly Paige starts to feel nervous.
''I think she is new.'' Lucas said.
''Lucas come back here.'' Paige said.
Lucas go inside and introduce himself to her. Then Paige go inside the court and Lucas introduce her to Paige.
''Emily, was telling me it's her first tournament this year.'' Lucas said.
''I'm Emily Fields. You are, Paige mash McCullers.'' Emily said.
''Hi.'' Paige said and they shake hands.
''I don't have a cool nickname.'' Emily said smiling and they are still shaking hands.
''We can call you turtle because you need to work on your footwork. That's why you are not hitting the ball on time.'' Paige said and Emily nods.
''Thank you. I accept that on behalf of slow people everywhere. But I can go fast if we play together.'' Emily said smiling.
''How sweet.'' Lucas said.
''Well, when you learn how to play tennis and stop playing around just look me up.'' Paige said. Paige and Lucas start to walk away, Emily stepped on her tennis racket almost fell.
''Players fear me back in Rosewood.'' Emily said.
They get in the car and Lucas drive to the pool. They go inside and Paige tells him that she can't because she had to go straight home.
''I can't be here.'' Paige said.
Lucas starts to pull Paige closer to the pool.
''Look your girlfriend is over there.'' Lucas said.
Emily comes out of the pool wearing a blue bikini and Paige feels a strange feeling in her stomach.
''Are you checking her out?'' Lucas asked.
''N-n-no I wasn't checking her out.'' Paige said.
Emily wave at Lucas and Paige then Lucas wave back at her. Lucas notice Toby is sneaking up behind Paige, Toby grabbed Paige and jumped in the pool with her. Lucas is laughing and they come up for air and Emily watch them have fun together.
''Toby!" Paige yelled.
''I missed you too.'' Toby said and Paige splashed water at him.
''Shut up.'' Paige said and she gets out of the pool and she watched Emily leave the pool.
''Your girlfriend left.'' Lucas said.
''She is not my girlfriend.'' Paige said.
''Girlfriend?'' Toby asked.
''The new player Emily Fields, she was basically asking Paige to spend time together for tennis. But Paige said no.'' Lucas said.
''Oh I heard of her. The rumor is she was a swimmer but got into playing tennis for some reason and she isn't good of a player like Paige or Alison.'' Toby said.
''Don't mention her. I really don't like her.'' Paige said.
''We know. But don't worry you will beat her next week.'' Lucas said.
Spencer Hastings, Alison DiLaurentis and Paige McCullers are the top three female players in singles tennis. This year will be a tough tournament because the three of them all want to win at the end.
Emily Fields is training hard for the tournament but her coach thinks that she isn't good enough. Emily wants to win a scholarship for college, she played tennis before but now she is taking it serious. She is really nervous for her first tournament but her best friends Hanna and Aria will be there to cheer for her. Besides tennis Emily doesn't like to take herself too serious all the time and she likes to be with her friends and have good time.
Emily is only good at playing doubles in tennis but no one wanted to be her partner. Now she must practice harder to be good at playing singles. She watched Spencer, Paige and Ali played singles and she got little scared because she feels she won't win the first game.
''What's wrong?'' Aria asked.
''Coach actually thinks I won't win my first game.'' Emily said.
''Then get a new coach because she will just break your self-esteem and that's not good. We will help you practice.'' Aria said.
''Do you and Hanna know anything about tennis?'' Emily asked.
''No we don't know but we will try and help you any way we can. Or just look for a new coach.'' Hanna said.
''I have been looking for a new coach but nothing.'' Emily said.
''What about asking Paige McCullers to help you. You couldn't stop talking about her.'' Aria said.
''I did ask her if she wanted to play together but she said no.'' Emily said.
''Then try again. If you don't try you won't know maybe she will say yes.'' Hanna said.
''But isn't doubles and singles the same thing? But singles you have the court to yourself.'' Hanna said.
''I'm only good at playing with another person. Playing singles you know I run kind of slow.'' Emily said.
''Don't worry we will think of something.'' Aria said and Hanna nods.
''Are your parents coming to your first game?'' Hanna asked.
''Nope, they are busy with work.'' Emily said.
''We will be there to cheer for you.'' Hanna said.
''Thanks.'' Emily said.
Emily starts to practice again and her friends watch her practice. Her coach keep telling her backhand is terrible and Emily's self-esteem goes down every time her coach say something bad about her.
''Emily, you are doing everything wrong. I said watch your backhand and right now you are playing worse than a rookie.'' Coach said.
''Hey! Don't talk to her like that. She is doing great and you need glasses because you can't see how hard she is trying!'' Hanna yelled at coach.
''Thanks Hanna.'' Emily said and she is breathing hard.
''you won't make it pass the first around.'' Coach said and walks off the court.
''You don't need her and she sucks as a coach. I don't know how she even became a coach in the first place.'' Hanna said.
"She is the only coach would train me." Emily said.
''How about we stop practice for today and we can help you find a new coach.'' Aria said.
''Alright let's do it tomorrow. Now let's go to the beach.'' Emily said and they agreed. They back to the Emily's house to get their stuff for the beach.
They arrived at the beach and run towards the water and it's really cold. Emily and Hanna start to splash water at each other while Aria move out the way because the water is too cold. But Hanna and Emily splash water at Aria.
''Hey stop!'' Aria yelled but they don't stop.
''Stop being a baby and have fun.'' Emily said.
''The water is too cold.'' Aria said.
Aria starts to splash water at them now they are all splashing water at each other.
