"Damn hair!" Gracie mumbled as she tried to force her hair into two pony tails at the back of her head, which was very hard to do with dirty blonde hair that had curls that rivaled Shirley Temple at times. She was trying not to nibble on her toothbrush that she had left in her mouth.
"Gracie, you're gonna be late!"
She spit out her toothbrush into the sink. "Yeah, Ma, I'm coming." She answered as she threw her brush over her shoulder and started out the door. She saw her shoe lace was untied and groaned. She lifted her foot up and started hoping toward the stairs. She put her foot down and ran down the stairs. Vicky handed Grace her jacket and kissed her on the cheek. "Bye sweetie."
"Bye, Ma." She said quickly as she opened the door and flew out. Vicky watched as her daughter cleared the fence and rushed into her friend's car. She shook her head. "Kids." She said to herself as she closed the doors.

"Hey crowd get pumpin'! Our team is jumpin'!" The squad cheered on. She smiled happily as they went through their routine for what felt like the tenth time. 'How many times are you allowed to do this per game? Stephanie really needs to mix it up a little!" She thought to herself after she did a split jump.
"Rebels think they're somethin'. But we're gonna...." Stomp, stomp. "CRUSH EM'!"
Gracie looked over at the field and spotted Chris. When she knew he was looking at her she smiled and winked. "Ready, set, let's go! We ain't here just for show! We want to see some spirit! So c'mon, Dragons, let's hear it!" She started jumping around, shouting at the top of her lungs.
'God, this is so fun. Beth and Reese have no idea what they are missing.' She thought to herself before she got hoisted up for flipping. "Goooooooooo team!" She shouted. She loved games. She always had so much fun! And if things got boring, she could just stare at her boyfriend and she would be entertained again.
She sighed. She loved Chris. She had loved him forever, and she knew he felt the same way. Publicly, they had only been dating for two years, but in reality they had been dating for a little over five years. She hadn't liked hiding it, but she didn't like the idea of her dad putting a bullet in her boyfriend either.
She forced herself to look away from Chris and clapped her hands together. Clap. "Hey Trojans! Say what?" Clap. "Bow down! Say what?" Shake, jump split, left, right, left. "Trojans, you ain't got a prayer, cause you've just entered the dragon's lair! Go Dragons!"
'God I love this!' She thought to herself.
-Later-
Chris met up with her after the game. He kissed her lightly on the lips. "Hey."
She smiled. "Hey." She replied before she kissed him again. And again. And again. And....
"Break it up you two!"
Chris looked over at the parental voice, and the two of them broke off. "Hey Aunt Vicky." He said with a smile.
Gracie winced. "Hey Ma!" She said sweetly. "You know how much I love you, right?" She asked her as she moved away from Chris and put her arms around her mother's shoulders. She was an inch or two taller than Vicky now.
Vicky rolled her eyes and laughed. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just be glad I'm picking you up and not Danny." 'Or your father if he could see you now.' She added in her head.
Gracie's smile started to fade away. "Oh, you're here to pick us up? I thought Dad was suppose to..." She bit her lip as she waited for her mom to answer, already
"He had to cancel. He said he's really sorry and that he'll make it up to you." Vicky told her.
Gracie nodded. "Alright. I'm sure he will." She said dryly. She was beyond him by now. She never really expected him to come when he said he would. She had been dealing with it for more than half her life. 'Why do I even try to give him the benefit of the doubt? I know better than to.' She thought to herself. She felt Chris behind her, wrapping an arm around her waist.
She turned her head and smiled a bit. "Hey, didn't you promise me ice cream earlier?" She asked him mischievously. He nodded. "Yeah, I did. Is it alright if I take her out Aunt Vicky?" He asked.
She gave them her best thinking look. "Welllllllllll.........." She glanced over at them and saw their expressions of joy get cut off and laughed. "Of course you can. You know what time she needs to be home." Gracie smiled again and kissed her mom's cheek.
"Thanks Ma!" She said happily before the two teens started heading for his car.
"Wait, before you go, you might want to swing by the car and say hi to Joey since he wanted to see you." She told them.
"Sure thing." She said as she quickly took off toward the car. She came up to the driver's window and knocked on it. "Hey Joey." She and Chris said together.
"Hey guys, you sure kicked ass tonight! Ready to go?" He asked excitedly.
"Sorry, Chris's gonna take me out a bit. Next time?" She asked him as she twirled the end of one of her pony tails.
"Of course. Have fun." He told her before he looked at Chris. "You behave and keep it in your pants, mister!" He said seriously.
"Sir, yes sir." Chris answered before Gracie dragged him away. Vicky walked up to the car and got in.
"Don't ya think that was a bit unnecessary?" She asked him.
"No, why?" He asked innocently and confused. Vicky just giggled and shrugged. "Never mind. Let's get back to the house, since we have a while for ourselves." She told him, and a few seconds later they were gone.
