Sorry the title is dreadful, I will change it as soon as I think of a good one!

CHAPTER 1
"No way are they going there" Kaylie Argued.
"Look, I'm just doing what I've been told take it up with Mr. Tucker" The Maintenance guy barked back at her clearly aggravated with Kaylie's tone.
"Oh don't worry I intend to" Kaylie muttered as she stormed off to find Mr. Kobalt and 2008 Olympic gold medallist himself Austin Tucker.
It was a Monday morning and Kaylie was clearly pissed off with Austin Tucker and he was only in Boulder a total of a day and a half and he was acting like he owned the place. After all, this is her gym. She is captain of the women's national gymnastics team and of the rock gym not to mention the fact that she is national champion (soon to be world champion), and trained here her whole life. Austin Tucker just walks in the door and starts giving orders and moving apparatus' around. Yes, okay he is an Olympic gold medallist but that so doesn't give him the right.
Urgh, why was she letting herself get so worked up by him? It made no sense. Why did he just seem to get under her skin? After all he is just some cocky, arrogant, gymnastics playboy, who happens to have a really sexy smile, absolutely nothing to get worked up about.
"Austin" Kaylie calls, as she continues to walk towards him.
"Good morning Cruz, what exactly could I help you with this morning" He said giving her a smile that she automatically knew meant that he was going to try his best to wind her up.
"Cut the crap Austin, you know exactly what's up" Kaylie hissed "What do you think you're doing bringing the still bars and the rings in here?"
"Well, I need to train on them and it's absolutely freezing out in the annex so we're moving them in here" Austin said knowing exactly what sort of reaction this would provoke out of her; anger and he had to admit she was pretty damn hot when she was angry.
"Do I look like I care how cold it is in the annex, women's gymnastics is more important and might a I add more popular than men's, so why don't you just go out and buy yourself a jumper and make friends with the annex cause that is where those bars are staying" she ordered.
This gained Kaylie a "Woooooaaaaahhh" from the surrounding gymnasts.
By now most of the gym has stopped training to listen to the battle of the sexes between Austin and Kaylie, She couldn't help but wish that one of them would come up with something useful to back her up rather than just standing there with their mouths open looking like they're trying to catch flies
"What are you talking about Cruz, men's gymnastics is important and might I add a lot more technically challenging and you only have four apparatus, WE have six" Austin added matter-of-factly
"Yea but you see that's where you're wrong, the thing is it requires more skill and talent to perform on any one of our apparatus than it does on all six of yours put together, so as I said enjoy the annex" And with that Kaylie turned on her heels and started to walk away.
"No" Austin stated blankly.
"What do you mean, "No"?" she asked confused.
"No as in I won't make friends with the annex because the bars are staying here" He hoped that she would take the hint that he wasn't backing down on this one.
"Austin, I really would love to stand and argue this with you all day, but I clearly unlike you have better things to do and besides Sasha would never agree to it."
"Look how about we compete on it" He added having a "Eureka" moment.
"How do you mean?" Kaylie asked getting impatient now.
"Well, since you have insulted men's gymnastics, so you should have to perform on it and see just how easy it is" Austin said knowing all too well that she would rise to the challenge.
"Right fine, we'll do it if you also perform on the women's apparatus"
"Easy"
"How about we make this more interesting. You each get to choose each other's apparatus." Sasha imputed absolutely loving the idea of a battle of the sexes to add a bit of fun into the gym.
"Even better, Austin...Balance Beam" Kaylie Challenged
Lauren, Emily, Carter and Liam had now joined the battle.
"Lauren...still rings" carter suggested to Lauren
"Carter, uneven bars" Lauren chuckled
"Emily, Parallel Bars" Liam ordered
"Liam, floor routine, to music and choreography just like a girl" Emily countered.
"No way, sorry man you are on your own" Liam chickened out, patting Austin on the Shoulder, leaving Austin and Carter to represent the boys.
All the girls, a few of the boys and Sasha had to laugh at Liam's sudden with drawl from the competition.
"Kaylie Cruz, men's floor which by the way is three times harder as it requires like three times the amount of tumbling" Austin said to having to rub the three times harder bit in to her just that extra little bit.
"Bring it on..." Kaylie challenged
"It's on, like donkey Kong" Carter exclaimed.
"Okay, so both teams have two full days starting tomorrow to prepare for this battle, competition will be after warm up on Thursday. Our assistant coaches will create our esteemed judging panel and as for now it's back to training for everyone" Sasha ordered "Off you go"
"This is going to be good" Emily said excitedly as she, Kaylie and Lauren went to grab a quick drink of water before going back into training.
"Yea and I don't know about you but I can't wait to see Austin on beam and Carter on uneven bars" Lauren added.
"And at least they were nice enough not to throw pommel horse in there, I really don't think I could have mastered that yoke in two days" Emily confessed.
"Yea and at least, you have uneven bars experience and I have my floor routines nailed but Lauren the Still rings, I got to be honest that looks pretty damn hard" Kaylie worried.
"Not to worry Kay, It'll be like taking candy from a baby" Lauren comforted.
"Oh you do that often do you, Lo?" This exclamation earned Kaylie a good hard dig in the ribs from Lauren
"It's a figure of speech Kay, Jeez"
After training the girls headed to the locker rooms to get changed. Kaylie showered thoroughly and got dressed put her jewellery on and added some perfume. Normally she's just shower quickly and head straight home and then shower there and put on her clothes for the rest of the day but this evening she had planned to go shopping to get her mum's birthday present. She drove into Boulder and parked her Mercedes along the pavement. She walked into J & S Jewellers hoping to find a necklace to go with the dress that she'd already ordered online.
She pushed in the door, not looking where she was going, her mind thinking about tomorrow's training session when she walked straight into a hard chest.
"Just can't stay away from me Cruz" A male voice sounded pulling Kaylie straight out of her thoughts.
Kaylie looked up to find Austin Tucker starring straight down at her "Eh no, Sorry to deflate your ego but I was thinking about how best to whip your butt at Thursday's competition and if I remember correctly it was you who followed me from France to Boulder, not the other way around. " Kaylie said bitterly
"oh someone's dismounted the beam the wrong way, eh" Austin teased "Catch ya around Cruz"
Okay so this is my first Make it or Break it fanfic and I know that this chapter was very drawn out but I promise that it will get better. I have so many ideas for this story but I honestly had no idea how to start so I decided that there is no better way to start than with one of my favourite Make It or Break It scenes. So thanks for reading, please keep with it the best is yet to come. So hopefully I didn't ruin this scene for anyone. Please review and let me know what you think, It would mean the world to mean and Thanks Again
