Emma looked around for Ruby. She didn't find her but saw Mulan sitting on the first row of bleachers, talking to a cheerleader. The captain noticed Emma and walked towards her.

"Hey, Emma! This is my girlfriend, Aurora."

"YOU?!" Aurora scoffed. Emma's mouth dropped open. She was the one Emma hit with the pie during the Pep Rally. Mulan looked at her girlfriend then to Emma then back to Aurora.

"I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean it. I thought you were Ruby!"

"You thought I was her? Like how? Like she was in an auburn wig, in a cheerleading uniform? Seriously? How dare you smash me with a whipped cream!"

"Come on. Just drop it, babe... She already said sorry."

Aurora turned to Mulan with blazing eyes. "Are you siding with her?!" The cheerleader had already lost her temper.

"What? Of course not! I'm not siding with anyone I'm just trying to-" Before Mulan could finish, Aurora walked out on them. The team captain ran after her fuming girlfriend.

Ruby walked towards Emma and teased, "I think you're a walking magnet for cheerleaders." The brunette laughed as the blonde sighed and shook her head.

The coach then blew his whistle. "Okay, line up!" Everyone came jogging towards the coach. The blonde noticed Jack was also trying out for the team. Emma smiled and waved at her but the girl rolled her eyes in return.

Eyeing everyone, the coach looked at Emma with a weird expression. Ruby signaled her to remove her glasses and when she did, Ruby gave her a thumbs up.

"My name is Coach Graham Humbert. I will be your coach. Don't expect me to be easy on you just because you are girls. This is no stupid childplay. We have to get the crown back this year so you better get your asses moving."

Wow, he is a bit... harsh.

The first thing they did was to run 3 laps on the field. The guys on the other side of the field saw Emma running and they started whistling and laughing. Shortly, they started the drills and everyone showed off their skills. There were at least 20 girls and not all of them could make it to the team. The coach studied the girls carefully, jotting down notes on his clipboard. Emma also noticed how Coach Graham kept glancing at Ruby.

Seeing Emma as a threat, Jack kept trying to trip her all throughout the game. She finally succeeded when Emma fell on her butt which caused the watchers to laugh. "Hey you!" Ruby shouted to Jack whilst offering Emma her hand for support. "Stop with the dirty tricks!"

"I didn't do anything! It's not my fault she's clumsy!" Jack said, trying to act as if she was the victim. "Liar!" Coach Graham shouted from the bench. Jack froze. "The thing I hate the most are dirty players. I've seen your plays. You did try to trip not only her, but the rest of the girls. Now, get out of my face!"

Jack glared at Ruby and Emma before grabbing her bag on the bench. The second captain tilted her head and stuck out her tongue.

Finally, the coach blew his whistle and everyone gathered around, catching their breaths and sweating. Mulan handed Ruby and Emma water bottles. "Good job, ladies. I want to congratulate everyone of you for a job well done. Give yourselves a round of applause."

When the applause died down, Coach Graham continued. "Not because the other team lost means I will not be picking people from their group. This is based on your performance, individually and as a team player. We'll be posting the names of those who got in by Monday afternoon. Now, you can take your shower and change. Once again, great job and congratulations."

"Em, you did amazing!"

"Thanks Rubes! Hey, by the way. What's up with you and coach Graham?" Emma smiled sheepishly, nudging Ruby's side. Her friend blushed a shade of pink.

"Huh? No-nothing," she stuttered. "What's with the eye sex awhile ago?" Emma asked. Ruby gave her look of disbelief. She couldn't believe Emma will be that straight forward. "You're ridiculous!"

"And you're blushing!" Emma answered back before laughing.

"Is that him you're texting?" Emma asked inquisitively, peeking up at her friend's phone.

"No, of course not!" Ruby answered defensively, putting her phone out of reach from the blonde. "Okay," Emma said smiling.

"What?" Ruby asked then looked at the blonde.

"What, what?" Emma asked back, still smiling. "What's with the smile!"

"What's wrong with smiling!" Ruby shook her head and they both laugh.

"You can tell me anything, Rubes. I hope you know that." Emma said, offering her friend a sincere smile. "Works the same for me," the brunette replied with a grin.

"Hey, hotshot!" someone called out. Emma and Ruby turned around to see Killian and Robin.

"What is it Hook?" Ruby asked, rolling her eyes. The brunette noticed the question in Emma's eyes then she whispered to her. "Hook, short for Hooker."

"Not you, Lucas," Killian answered and turned his eyes to the blonde. "Aye, what's up lass?" he asked, winking.

"Didn't know wimps could play," Robin remarked. Emma frowned, glaring at the man. "So what now? You gonna throw books at me?"

Emma's face flushed red, anger coming from somewhere within her. "Maybe," she muttered sharply. It scared her to hear how confident that sounded. She wanted to kick Robin's balls, that is, if he has. He's in no position to call her a wimp because he doesn't know a thing about her.

The man looked at her in disbelief. "Oh really?" he said, taking a step forward.

"Oh yeah, you should be thrown with books because you know nothing, Locksley!" Ruby spat out. "What did you say?!" Robin shouted back making Ruby's smirk to grow wider. "I said, you're an airhead," Ruby repeated.

"You're a slut!" Robin yelled. "We all know what's true and what's not. Unfortunately, you being stupid, is a fact," Ruby answered back. Robin clenched his jaw and wanted to punch the sharp-tongued brunette but Killian stopped him.

"Dude, you just got burned!" Killian laughed. Robin grabbed him by his collar and yelled in his face. "Shut up!"

Robin let Killian go harshly and Killian adjusted his collar casually like nothing happened.

The two girls strutted their way to the change room.

"I hate Robin! I so wanna kick his balls," Emma said.

"I know, he's such a douchebag."
