"The Tournament between Blackthorne and Gallagher will be happening throughout the year. Many obstacles and courses will be taken, many prizes waiting...as well as penalties etc. The ultimate prize is as you know an extra clearance level. Now these obstacles will be at any time, at any place, so be ready. This will determine who are the better spies, Gallagher Girls or Blackthorne Boys" said Solomon.
The Girls cheered, Mick shouting out "Go Gallagher Girls!" Bex was unusually quiet but had an evil grin on her face.
"Mr Solomon?" asked Bex, 'innocently'
"Yes, Miss Baxter" replied a tense Solomon, waiting for Bex's words that, he was sure, were going to cause a riot…and not the good kind.
"Well I was wondering, since all of us know that The Blackthorne Boys prefer games to the real life. And because of these games, its clouds the Adult minds of these boys" started Bex but was interrupted by Liz.
"Im still not sure that they even have brains" Liz said, then glowing pink when she realized what she said. The girls blinked in shock and the boys shouted in protest.
"We do so have brains!" shouted a guy in the back with messy dirty blonde hair.
"Whatever" replied Macey, examining her nails in boredom.
"Anyway" continued Bex "What I am trying to say is that this wont be much of a tournament, I mean Girls are the best. So basically Blackthorne Boys are here just because someone has to lose, and Gallagher Girls never lose" smirked Bex, saying the last part with venom as she spat it at the boys.
"That is the case, Miss Baxter" said Mr Solomon who was interrupted by Dr. Steve. "Mr Solomon, I do believe that my boys will be worthy subjects in this tournament. And I will ask of you to not insult them" he said. Mr Solomon ignored him and carried on. "But as Blackthorne Institute is our sister school, we are obligated to beat them with as much grace as a proper lady, just like you have been taught by Madame Dabney" finished Solomon. Cammie stepped forward. "Mr Solomon" she says, mock-shocked "You know that we are proper ladies, we fight like ladies, we win like ladies" finished Macey, the girls breaking down in laughter, clutching each other. Even Solomon cracked a small smile at his god daughter and her sisters. "Mr Solomon" growled Grant "Can we please get on with the tournament" he said, sick of being mocked by the girls. Solomon raised an eyebrow "Of course, Mr Newman" he replied, turning towards an obstacle course, filled with trip wires etc. Complete that course, everyone in your team must get through to complete, fastest group wins then we will go on to the next one" he explained, turning towards the van to sit on the back bumper of the Gallagher van. "Now will the leaders of each team please shake hands" grinned Dr. Steve. Cammie stepped forward, after all the girls pushed her, and then Zach stepped forward, smirking. After shaking hands Dr. Steve said "Excellent" and the course started. Bex went forward and made it through easily, so did Grant. Tina quickly followed but was beat slightly by a red haired guy. Macey tripped over Ryan and made it through, Jake right after her, Then Eva, a brown haired, Jonas, Liz, Anna, a blonde guy, a black haired guy and Mick. Mick shouting back good luck to Cammie. Then Zach and Cammie shot forth and the same time, jumping over things, dancing through lasers and then Cammie pushed Zach over, as she ran away to the finish line, Zach grabbed Cammie's foot and pulled her down. As they got up, Zach first one up, Cammie flipped over Zach and made it over the finish line first and into her sister's arms. "WOOO!" screamed Bex,
"GALLAGHER WINS!" crowed Mick.
"Damn it! Zach! You never lose" shouted Grant at Zach, Zach shrugged and shouted back "She flipped over my head, Grant!" to which Solomon butted in "Gallagher girls win. 1, nil. Now for the next the next one. Each team must select one person to go into the box of lasers" he said, pointing towards a large box filled up with lasers. "You have to reach the middle and hit the buzzer before the other person in the box but you must not get hit by the lasers or your dis-qualified but that doesn't mean that the other team wins, the other team must hit the buzzer to win" he finished.
"You have an hour for lunch, to stretch and to pick the team mate to complete this challenge" grinned Dr. Steve, pulling out a food and drink cooler for the boys, Solomon doing the same for the girls. Mick and Bex each picked up a handle and carried the cooler over to the shade under a cliff/cave and opened it up, sharing out the food within. The boys were nearby and the girls could hear everything they were saying, and this is how it went:
"Oh crap! A big box filled with lasers?" moaned Grant
"Oh shut it" said a black haired guy called Jack,
"But the girls will be more flexible than us"-Grant
"That's true, girls are more flexible than most males" Jonas said, scientifically,
"But that doesn't mean that they'll win" replied William,
"We have less than 2% chance of winning"-Jonas,
"But they've already beat us!"-Ryan,
"And we can't let them beat us again"-Chase,
"We have to win this tournament"-Jack,
"And how will we do that?"-Ryan *sarcastically* "They've already beat us once, they could do it over and over again",
"Yeah!"-Grant,
"We will win"-Zach,
"But how?" moaned Grant,
"Well we are guys"-Zach *smirking*,
"And guys are scientifically proven to be better at physical exercise than girls"-Jonas,
"True"-Ryan,
"But this one is on flexibility not if we can beat them in a running race!"-Jack,
"Oy Jack, shut up"-Ryan,
"I think we should let our humble leader, Zach, do this 'Box of lasers"-William,
"Good idea!"-Grant,
"Well that will give us a better chance of winning if we use me, cause I am the best"-Zach*smirking*,
"Cocky Jerk"-Grant.
The girls tuned out of their conversation, and started eating. Not wanting the boys to over hear their plans, they 'talked' in the Gallagher sign language that only students and teachers from Gallagher Academy know. And this is how their conversation went:
"Their using Zach"-Tina,
"Idiots, using the best one"-Bex,
"Who are we going to use?"-Liz,
"Someone who is the most flexible, can beat Zach and who looks good doing it"-Macey. All of the girl's heads turned to look at Cammie.
"What? You want me to go against Zach?"-Cammie,
"Oh come on Cammie!"-Bex,
"Your extremely flexible"-Mick,
"So are all of you"-Cammie,
"But we haven't been sneaking around the school for forever. Some of those passageways must be very tiny"-Anna,
"Yeah, and you're the only one who can beat Zach"-Macey,
"He is their best"-Eva,
"And your our best"-Mick,
"And you look damn fine when you do it"-Macey. They all broke out in laughter, drawing the guy's attention away from their food to them.
"Fine fine, I'll do it"-Cammie,
"Great, now eat. You have to get your strength up for Zach"-Bex *winking*,
"Ewww Bex" said Cammie, wrinkling her nose up in distaste at the thought on the outside, while in the inside thinking about his green eyes and his cocky smirk.
"Oh come one Cammie, we all know you melt into a puddle of goo when you think about him"-Macey *teasing*,
"Cammie's in looove"-Tina,
"Okay Girls! Finish eating and we'll do some yoga before Cammie goes into the box of doom"-Bex.
Interesting conversations, aye?
The girls quickly finished up their lunch and hopped up, moving into the sun and began stretching. Once their muscles were loose they spread out and began the simple yoga pose called Upward facing dog. They then went into another backbend called The Lord of the dance pose, then a king pigeon pose. "Okay girls! Now do a supported head stand" called out Solomon as he watched them, they obeyed him and then went into the next pose he called out called an upward plank pose, then a firefly pose. "Okay now some restorative poses to warm down" Solomon said. They all did a reclining super hero pose. The girls stood up. "Some meditation?" suggested Anna. They all nodded and settled in positions to do Cross-heart Kirtan Kriya meditation. When their break was finished they meet the boys and Dr. Steve back at the Box, feeling for calm and flexible. Grant moaned "Their going to beat us, they've just been doing yoga all lunch" Ryan hit him over the head. Zach just smirked at his friend's behavior. "Okay, now boys can you please tell us who is going to compete in this exercise" said Dr. Steve. Zach stepped forward, "Excellent" said Dr. Steve. Solomon turned to the girls. "Girls?" he asked. Macey cleared her throat. "We decided to pick a sister which can beat Zachary Goode, who is the most flexible out of all of us as she has been sneaking around in tiny passageways for years and looks hot while doing it. The one and only Cameron Anne Morgan!" announced Macey, pushing a blushing Cammie forward. "You just had to say my whole name, didn't you Mace?" she hissed, Macey just smirked back. Not Zach's 'I know something you don't know' smirk but a pure evil Macey McHenry smirk. Joe Solomon smiled at his God Daughter, "Im putting my money on my god daughter in this challenge" he announced which caused all the guys apart from Zach's, jaws fall open in shock.
"I guess they didn't know about Solomon being your god father, Cam" said a grinning Bex.
