I do not own Recess of any of the corresponding characters.

"Did what?" Gretchen quirked walking into her room from the small
bathroom to see Spinelli sprawled out on her bed breathing hard. A few
moments earlier Spinelli had flown into her house exclaiming that she
did 'it'.

"It. I did IT!" Spinelli grinned suddenly deciding she was to excited
to sit and started pacing around the room.

Gretchen studied her friend carefully, Spinelli seemed happy. Too
happy, especially for Spinelli. Whatever happened must have been
brilliant. "I still do not follow."

Spinelli twirled to face the tall lanky teen and tried to help her
recall the event.

It was a few months ago, the gang and her were sitting up on Old Rusty
wasting the days of summer away, currently discussing who were better
athletes, girls or guys.

Naturally Spinelli was for girls while Vince voted guys, the rest of
the gang watching their arguement boredly not even attempting to
settle it. Once they got going they were gone.

Vince pointed out that he was the best kickballer and athlete,
everyone coming close to his skills being guys too.

"What about Ashley Q.?" Spinelli fought back bringing up the incident
where the girlie-girl had managed to out kick Vince, only temperarily
but it was still hit some nerves.

"That was once, and I'm still better than her. Besides, take the hockey
team for example, all guys. Not one girl has ever been on that team."

"Yeah well what if a girl got on that team?" Spinelli challenged.

"Then maybe I'd consider them equal," Vince shrugged.

Spinelli didn't say anything else.

Vince looked at her suprised aswell as everyone else. Spinelli never
backed down, but TJ could see something happening in his friends brain
everyone else seemed to be oblivious to, a plan forming. What kind of
plan he was yet to know though.

"I still don't comprehend." Gretchen said as Spinelli finished
retelling the story.

Rolling her eyes and giving a loud 'hmph' she flopped onto the bed
once again. "The team Gretch. I signed up for the guys hockey team. I
got to prove Vince wrong."

"You did what? No female has ever crossed into that territory since
the beginning of well, forever! The chances of you making the team are
slim, an with the disadvantage of your size and well sex-"

"No Gretch. No disadvantages. No ones going to know it's me. If
everyone thinks I am a guy than Vince can't say they went easy on me
or anything. It's fair and square. 'sides, my brother Joey played on
it and I used to play some pick up with him, I can play well enough."

Silence filled the room while Gretchen considered this. It was true,
Spinelli making the team would definately change Vince's mind, because
no matter how little Gretchen herself didn't care about his opinion he
knew Spinelli would never drop it, and it did effect her a little to
her females being downgraded so...still going to all these lengths
just for an arguement was unbelievable, even for Spinelli. She knew
she had another reason for the team she wasn't saying, but whatever it
was it must be pretty important to her. "Fine, I'm in."

Spinelli looked at her with suprised. "What do you mean?"

"Well to pull off the role of a male you'll need help. Training,
acting, practising, tutoring, of course some new clothing..."

Spinelli zoned out while her genius friend droned on. It didn't
matter, only thing that mattered was she was doing it, she was going
for the towns hockey team...no. She corrected herself. She isn't,
Ash is.

Sorry the shortness, amount of dialogue and how boring it was but I
needed to tell the plan before I could continue.

Next chap will pick up, tryouts. Less talking more action. :)

Reviews are loved :)

Thanks to Forever Spinelli for revewing!
