The day of the competition finally came and there were only just a few hours left until Pepper had to leave to the competition. "Why don't you give us a preview Pepper?" Rhodey asked giggling with Tony. Pepper rolled her eyes and stayed focus on her mirror as she was doing her makeup. "Aw come on!" Tony whined. "You'll just have to find out yourselves when we get there now shut it" she said. "But I wanna seeeee it!" Tony whined again. "I will find a way to make sure you don't go if you don't quit the whining!" she said turning to him. Tony covered his mouth and stayed quiet.
"Keep it that way" Pepper said returning to the mirror. Tony let out a small giggle with Rhodey. Pepper shook her head. "I swear you guys are like teenage girls" she said. Tony started imitating the way cheerleaders danced. Rhodey started giggling but not too loud because he didn't want to upset Pepper. Pepper grabbed an apple out of her book bag and threw it at Tony. Tony groaned at the hit of the apple on his abdomen. Rhodey giggled harder but tried to calm himself by covering his mouth as Tony dropped to the floor. Pepper tossed up and down a water bottle looking at Rhodey. Rhodey immediately stopped laughing. Tony giggled a bit and Rhodey kicked his side only making the two giggle more.
Pepper finished applying her red lipstick then got up and walked towards the clowns. "Hey there Tony" she said as she pretended to smile. Tony wasn't buying it so he quickly backed up and shielded himself. "No I'm not gonna hurt you come here" Pepper said kneeling down getting closer to Tony. Tony kept backing up. Pepper grabbed his arm and pulled him into a hug. Tony still alert awkwardly patted her back. Pepper broke apart a little to kiss his cheek. She gave more force than usual kissing all around his face. She let go and Rhodey started laughing hysterically. "What?" Tony asked. "Dude look at your face!" Rhodey said. Pepper grabbed her little mirror and showed Tony his face.
"Dammit Pepper!" he said trying to wipe off the kiss marks all over his face. "That's what happens when you mess with Peppa!" she said getting up and laughed evilly. Pepper re-touched her lips then went to go change. "Dude you look like you've been in a whore house" Rhodey said. Tony shook his head as Rhodey laughed. Pepper came out wearing her cheerleading outfit and her hair picked up into a ponytail with a huge blue boy. "Let's go" Pepper said grabbing her bag. They left to the competition which was held at the Tomorrow Academy's basketball court.
Whitney was sitting with her team when Catherine came up to her with two cheerleaders behind her. "Good luck" she said snottily. "Whatever" Whitney said looking away like a snob. Catherine walked away like a prep with her two cheerleaders following. Pepper came into the court room and sat with her team and Tony and Rhodey found a seat close to the court. Four different teams from different schools were there. "Alright welcome to the fifth annual cheer competition!" said the announcer standing at the center of the court. "Each routine must have been at least three minutes long and it you must've included quite a few acrobatic moves" she said. "Most importantly all cheerleaders must have good sportsmanship or else if you fail to show that you will be disqualified" she said. "Now let the competition start with Master Academy!" she said.
Everyone clapped and cheered for the name. They did their three minute performance beautifully. "They were good" said a team member from Whitney's team. "Shut it we are better" Whitney said. Everyone clapped and they moved on to the next team. Pepper started to get nervous because she was thinking they weren't going to win. She wanted to win because she hopped Whitney would change and what's even worse is that if Catherine won Whitney would have a fit and she would have a throw down with Catherine. Tomorrow Academy was last because only the school new they save the best for last but they just didn't say it because they didn't want to upset any school. "Yeah, yeah let's go Blue Jays, let's go Blue Jays, let's go Blue Jays yeah, yeah!" the team cheered. They got into their last formation which was Whitney being at the top of the pyramid they formed and Pepper back flipping her way to the front and did her finishing pose of her shimmying her pompoms as she was on her knees.
Everyone cheered and clapped for them. The teams held hands and waited for the winner to be announced. "I'm winning" Catherine mouthed to Whitney. "And the winner is….Novia Charter!" one of the judges said. That was Catherine's team and Whitney could never have been more upset. They screamed happily as they jumped around. Catherine ran up to Whitney to rub it in her face when suddenly Pepper noticed something about their mascot. Pepper walked over to their fish mascot. "Hey good job" she said. "Uhh thanks!" the mascot said clearly pretending to sound like a girl. Pepper frowned. "Yeah right you're a cheerleader" Pepper said. She removed the head and revealed a bald man that had tattoos on his neck. Everyone gasped and the judges looked over the rules handbook. "It appears that this man with the tattoos has no affiliation to Novia Charter school" she said. "That's my cousin!" Catherine yelled. Everyone laughed. "It is against the rules to have someone who is not a part of the school at all to be a mascot so say hello to your new champions the Tomorrow Academy's Blue Jays!" she said.
Whitney and her team screamed and cheered as well as the Tomorrow Academy students that attended. Whitney walked up to Catherine. "Better luck next time" Whitney said waving to her as she left. After everyone left and the janitors came in to clean up Whitney came up to Pepper. "Hey thanks for what you did we wouldn't have won this without you" she said. "No problem" Pepper said smiling. "And I'm….sorry for being a jerk to you" she said. "No worries" Pepper said. "Oh so um….what was that bet between you and Tony?" Whitney asked smiling curiously.
FLASH BACK….
Rhodey walked into the armory to see Pepper and Tony sitting on the floor with a jar of cherries in front of them. "Bet you I can do it this time!" Tony yelled. "What's going on?" Rhodey asked walking over and stealing a cherry from the jar. "We're trying to see who can tie a knot with the cherry stick" Pepper said. "One…two….three….go!" Tony shouted as they stuck the stick in their mouth and tried to tie it with their tongues. "Dammit" Pepper said. They both failed for the 500th time. "Again!" Pepper said. "So you guys just want to know who's the best kisser?" Rhodey asked. They both turned to Rhodey shooting him a confused look. "Oh come on you guys have to know about this" Rhodey said. They shook their heads no. "Whoever ties the cherry knot is considered the best kisser" Rhodey said. Tony and Pepper looked at each other smirking then popped a stick in their mouths in attempt to tie it. Tony started waving his hands around trying to signal he was doing it.
They stood up doing weird movements trying to tie the knot then finally Tony took out his tied cherry stick. "HA!" Tony yelled. "One more time and this time I bet I'll win and if I do you upgrade my armor!" Pepper said. She had been wanting and upgrade for so long now. "And if I tie the knot again you have to join the cheerleading squad!" Tony said. "Fine!" Pepper said. They popped another stick in their mouths and it stayed silent for a bit until Tony took his out and a few seconds after Pepper took hers out. They both had tied sticks but Tony took it out first. "I'm the better kisser!" Pepper protested. "Nope clearly I am!" Tony said. "Nu uh!" Pepper yelled. "Wanna find out!" Tony yelled back. "Fine!" Pepper yelled. "Fine!" Tony yelled back then they crushed their lips together. Rhodey stared at his two friends making out. "Uh I'm gonna go…" he said then left the armory. Tony and Pepper released themselves. "Not bad Potts…" Tony said in a calmer voice. "See" Pepper said. Tony started kissing near her ear. "I'm still the better kisser" he whispered in her ear. "Are not!" Pepper yelled even though she thought that kiss was thirty seconds in heaven. "Can't wait to see the outfit!" Tony said laughing. "UGH!" Pepper whined.
End of flash back….
Whitney laughed. "So he won huh?" she asked. "Mhm" Pepper said. "So you're quitting right? The week is over" Whitney said. "Well…..no" Pepper said smiling. "Why not?" Whitney asked. "I like being a cheerleader it's fun" Pepper said. "To tell you the truth….I thought it was fun too!" Whitney said smiling. They both giggled then left the school. "You did awesome" Tony said. "Thanks" Pepper said. He had his arm wrapped around Pepper as they walked. "Oh Tony guess what I'm not quitting cheerleading" Pepper said. "WHAT!" Tony yelled in shock. "Yeah it's fun so I want to stay" she said. Tony was so happy he did a cartwheel which surprised Pepper because it was good. "Oh my…" Pepper said. Tony sweeped her off her feet and shook her. "I'M DATING A CHEERLEADER!" Tony yelled excited. Pepper giggled. Tony dropped her gently then ran down to the armory. "WOO!" Tony screamed. "Wait up!" Pepper said laughing as she ran after him.
