Random Rambling:
Okay, I just have to ramble. I changed my pen name to Sweet Little All-American Girl, so for those of you used to seeing me as The Sane-er One, I've changed it. I've decided it's time for a change, and it's ironic because:
a.) I'm not blond
and
b.) I'm not sweet or little.
So, yeah, I just picked it because it sounded sweet. I liked it.
Note: I do not own any songs in here, I do not own High School Musical or High School Musical 2, and I especially do not own the idea of cheerleading competitions. I do, however, own the characters that are on the cheer squad and the other new characters, along with the West High cheerleaders names. :)

Now on with the story!
The Regional, Televised Cheer-Offs
Elaine was looking ticked off, and she had every reason to be. She had on her cheerleading uniform, and was tapping her foot saying, very seriously and gravely, This isn't playtime, girls. This is the real thing. This is regionals. And it's our time to shine. What team?
The girls shouted back at her, Wildcats!
She asked again, What team?
They chorused, Wildcats!
In unison, they said, Get'cha head in the game!
She smirked, and Elaine flipped her red hair back into a ponytail.
On came the song, which was "Pocketful of Sunshine" that Marnie remade. Elaine came in perfectly flawless, and then cued Hilary, who came in, for the first time in forever, not off-beat. Then Ashley, with her blond hair, followed in and the three there danced to the chorus, before the next pre-chorus came, in which Amber, Jessica, and Vanessa all of them directly on cue.
They could see hips moving in flow with the rhythm and the girls straight faces. Monique was the last girl to come in, and for the first time, this was the one they wouldn't be singing with. Elaine knew that they had to wait until they've advanced to the next round to pull that off to the judges.
After the song, they were in a pose, and a roar of applause came for them. Ariana and Adrianna exchanged glances, they were known to be best friends, of course. They were sort of like Sharpay and Gabriella, except not frenemies. Ariana blew kisses to them and Adrianna made a "Call me" sign to any guys who were looking at her.
Then Elaine came face to face with the West High head cheerleader, the tall, blond, and evil Sally Winters, who said to her dumb blond posse, Oh, look what the East High Wildcats did for us. They got the crowd pumped up for our performance. Too bad they won't make it.
Elaine's eyes narrowed at her.
Ariana said, Oh, and looks what the tides brought in. The dumb blond posse and their ring leader. Tell me, Angelique, how is your relationship with the half-back? Oh wait, you guys broke up, didn't you? Nasty break-up from what I saw last year, you were pretty pissed off at him over nothing, now weren't you?
Angelique gave this huff, and rolled her eyes.
Her best friend, a dyed blond called Jasmine, said, Please, Angel doesn't have to listen to what you think about her love life. And second of all, he cheated on her with that stupid geek, Lisa Woods. So, bitch, please.
Tyra shot back for Ariana, Why don't you guys do us all a favor and go crawl somewhere and die, okay?
Her little sister, AJ, said, Bitch, please. Obviously the Simpson sisters where a force to be reckoned with.
Sally huffed, and her right hand girl, Heather, said, Whatever, you guys are so going down. Right after we beat the competition out. So, yeah, fuck you guys.
Sally smirked, and said, What Heather said.
Now, Elaine wouldn't stand for a girl who allows her right hand girl to do the talking for her. Elaine rolled her eyes and left the field before she hit the girl.
Her posse followed her, and they had their noses up in the air. Sally's routine was to Rihanna's "Pon de Replay", not Marnie's. Obviously she didn't just have a problem with Elaine. She had a problem with her alter ego, Marnie Piper, and Sally's excuse was because Marnie Piper was a complete bitch who doesn't deserve what she's got. Not to mention she's only famous because her father is the king of England.
After that was North Vally High's routine, and they obviously knew what they were doing. Then came Highest Point High, who danced to Marnie Piper's "Umbrella". And then came Justice High who's routine was to "Girl's Night Out (G.N.O)" by Miley Cyrus. Almost everyone had a great song.
Then came the judge's decision, and the judge who made the call was, in fact, was the Simpson sister's mother, Sarah Simpson, who was a famous fashion designer. She said, Well, the competition's tough, but the judges have decided. Remember, the school that isn't called must immediately return to their hotel room and pack their bags. The top schools were..
She gave a look that was serious, and on television, it flashed between the schools, and she announced, East High School. Congratulations. You have made it to round two. The next school I am going to call will be..
She had look that showed even more depth, and said, West High School. Congratulations. You have made it to round two. The next school I shall call will be..
The schools flashed again, and with one more flash to her, a slight blink, North Vally High School. Congratulations. You have made it to round two. The next school that I shall call will be..
She gave one more blink, Highest Point High. Congratulations. You have made it to round two. The next school shall be..
She looked at all the schools, and said, Justice High School. Congratulations. You have made it to round two. Will the last two remaining schools please step forward?
Both Hope Vally High and Lava Springs High stepped forward to meet Sarah Simpson's eyes. She smiled and said, Hope Vally High School. You guys have talent, and you bring school spirit to the field. However, your expressions fail you, and your cheerleaders can get off-step and lose confidence. Should we let such a school who can't even continue on after one mistake in this serious competition? This competition is more serious than ever. We're afraid that Hope Vally High isn't ready for such a big change.
And then her eyes flicked onto Lava Springs High.
She smiled and said again, Lava Springs High School. Talent, in a raw form. You bring what Hope Vally High School doesn't. Yet your expressions and technique say different things. It's amazing that you guys are even where you are. All of the cheerleaders are just focused on having fun, not being in sync.
She looked at both of them, and asked, hypothetically, So who's it going to be?
She announced after a dramatic pause, Lava Spring High School. Congratulations. You have made it to round two. I'm sorry, Hope Vally High School. You will not be the winner of this competition. You must immediately return to your room and pack your bags and leave.
Hope Vally High's cheerleaders cried and hugged each other after hugging the other teams who made it to round two.
On the camera, Hope Vally High School's head cheerleader, Sydney, was saying, Well, I guess it's over. I didn't help them out enough and I didn't teach them how to regroup after a mistake. I guess I lacked the right stuff for going on.
They had their bags packed and got on their bus, leaving. Elaine was in shock, such a talented school leaving?
Elaine sighed and went onto the camera as well, saying, Well, Sydney was the greatest cheerleader I've ever seen. I'm still in shock that a talented school has left. I guess this means I have to step my game up. I'm not leaving before the competition is over.
The Following Week's Monday
The next week, Elaine was teaching her girls the steps to a song that had just came out by Marnie Piper. The song was called "Toxic", aremake of Britney Spears's Toxic, and it was one of Elaine's favorite songs. Ashley was trying her hardest and putting her heart into it. Of course, that meant that Ashley was the best on stage. Hilary was trying her hardest to remain on step, but that was difficult. Ariana and Adrianna were working it. They were sharing with Lava Springs High School, Megan calling the shots there.
One of the cheerleaders was making recommendations on how they could work it.
Elaine went on the camera, saying, You know, I'm just getting warmed up here. I'm not leaving this competition. It's everything to me, and if I leave before I'm done, it would be the worst thing in the world. Sure, Megan's stepping it up. Sally's still my worst enemy. But to impress the judges, you'd have to know how to work it.
Sally's routine was to "Buttons" by the Pussycat Dolls. Why? Oh, Sally just wanted to sway the male judges into voting for her team. Sally said to the camera, Everyone knows there's only one way to win. Deceivery and trickery. Why not just go onto the dance floor and be super sexy?
Ariana shook her head on the camera, and said, We're working up three times the amount of sweat before. Jessica and Vanessa are stepping it up as well. I can't believe what Elaine's done to our team to make it so perfect!
If anything, this was making Sally more ticked off with the schools. Justice High School was anything but working on their routine. Justice High School didn't take the competition seriously, following the lead of their head cheerleader, Kim. This made both Sally and Elaine pissed off.
They both complained on the camera at different times, They aren't even doing anything! They are so going to be outta here if they don't step it up!
The Next Day
Then came the major drama of the spirit stick. Elaine got the spirit stick, but after abandoning it for a few moments, it was gone. The team was desperate and blamed West High School for the lose of it. And the curse fell upon them hard.
The Entire Week
Elaine hit the floor off the top of the pyramid (the best cheerleader on the squad), her secret was nearly blown, Sharpay started some major drama with her, she got into a fight with Gabriella and Susan, and nearly broke up with Ryan. And that's just Elaine alone! Ariana suffered from being caught eating chocolate, caught in the shower by Megan, nearly broke her ankle, and got a sore throat, rendering her unable to sing.
Friday Night
Finally, Elaine proposed they do an offering to the cheerleading Gods by proposing, Girls, we need to get rid of this curse. How are we going to win the cheer-offs at camp if we don't keep the Cheer Gods happy?
Ashley replied, Agreed, I'm losing to stupid West High! We need to fix this.
Tyra added, Love the idea, Ella. It's so perfect! It's punk and gothic at the same time! I know AJ agrees.
Ariana told them, I can't stand it anymore. Adrianna and I are in. We'll both sacrifice something too.
The rest of the team cheered for this. At eleven fifty-six that night, they went to offer up something they loved. Elaine offered up her favorite Beauty Rush Appletini body drink lotion. She didn't have the money on her to get a new one, so it was a major blow for her. Tyra and AJ each offered up their sketch books and guitar, both not being able to decide which one. Hilary offered up her favorite Sexy lipstick from Victoria's Secret, also being unable to replace it.
Amber offered up her favorite tube of mascara. Ariana offered up her favorite thong, and Adrianna offered up her mp3 player. Before Ashley, Megan, Preston, Jessica, Vanessa, Monique, and Peyton could offer anything, West High School showed up.
Sally said, How dare you try and ruin our chances of winning!
Elaine got up and said, Maybe we wouldn't be forced to take action if you hadn't of stolen the spirit stick. Each of us has suffered injuries making us unable to play. Now we're making offerings to the cheer Gods!
Heather snorted, and said, Well, Elaine, and she knew full well Elaine only goes by Ella, never took you for the kind to believe in otherworldly forces.
Of course Heather didn't know she was Marnie Piper.
Elaine's fury went up, and said, I challenge you to a cheer off, winner takes all. Anyone left unstanding is a loser. We'll go by the no-touch rules, and let's bring it on, girls!
They started the cheer off, until the cops arrived after a disturbance was reported. Elaine fell on top of some cheerleaders on West High's Team, breaking her fall. Hilary fell down in her flyer pathway, and Amber fell onto her as well. Angelique and Jasmine where the two girls that Elaine landed on. Half of each captain's team was taken out. They didn't have a full team to play with.
Saturday Morning
The cheer coach was pacing back and forth in front of them. A midnight cheer-off! The hugest scandal ever! How could you do this to me? I've already talked to Sarah Simpson. She agrees that we should send you two teams home. After all, you only have half of your team, no way you can play now, she said, looking from Elaine to Sally.
Elaine had a massive bump on her head, her flaming red hair hiding the blood in her hair effectively. Sally's blond hair took a toll, with massive red blood stains in her blond hair. Jasmine and Angelique were both in casts. Hilary and Amber both had their arms in slings and Hilary's head was patched up. Tyra and AJ were applying ice to their heads, the worst being that they got massive headaches.
Ashley's blond hair was still smooth, she simply had ice packs taped to her neck, her wrist and her leg. Jessica was unharmed, having been the one to land on Tyra and AJ's heads without hurting them. Ariana was unharmed, Adrianna's leg was in a cast. The boy cheerleader of East High was unharmed as well, meaning Preston wasn't harmed. Neither was the one on West High's team hurt in anyway, Kyle. Vanessa was the one who was harmed, but not in anyway that would render her unable to play. The rest of the team either had injuries or were fine enough to play.
Same went for West High, each school having one-half of their original team. However, before Elaine boarded the bus, she went over to Sally. She sighed, and said, Look, both you and me only have one-half our team.
Sally scoffed, and said, No duh. Tell me something I don't know. Problem is, we can't play.
Elaine said, Maybe we can. We each have half a team. I have Ashley, Megan, Preston, Ariana, Tyra, AJ, and I. You have Paige, Heather, Kyle, Jasmine, Jennifer, Hannah, and yourself. If we join teams, we can actually have a full team to play.
Sally scoffed, and said, And you expect me to do this because? I mean, we're the worst of enemies!
Elaine huffed, and snapped to Sally, Look, if you and I want to win, it's the only way. So, are you in or not? Or are you too scared to?
Sally simply replied, Bring it, bitch. We'll do this, but only just so we can win, okay? No friendships, no going easy, and only copromise when we can't reach an agreement. Deal?
Elaine smirked and said, Deal. We'll need a name, and you know, we're now co-head cheerleader, and our co-head cheerleaders are co-co-head cheerleaders. Okay?
Sally nodded, and smirked as well.
Later On That Day
Elaine finally found her lucky necklace, her necklace with a ring, a screw, and a key on it. Each represented something, though everyone didn't get the screw part.
Elaine started wearing it, and told the cheer coach they're going to combine. She wasn't happy. She asked, You two? Combine teams? But you two hate each other, how on Earth are you two going to work together? Teamwork is all part of the job!
Elaine said, We'll make it work. We always do.
Back At The Hotel Room
Elaine said, No, we have to come to an agreement on the name! There's no copromise with this sort of thing!
Sally asked, God, why don't we just combine names as well? The Wild Knights?
Ashley giggled, and said, That sounds stupid. We're going for cool, remember? So we need to have an amazing name, after all, it's our first impression. Remember that.
Finally, Megan said, How about the Wild Phoenixes? It has a Medieval bird in it, and it includes "wild" in it. And it sounds less stupid. What does everyone think?
Sally sighed, and said, Well, it's the best we're gonna get. Let's use it!
Later In The Hotel Room
Elaine called Gabriella and said, Look, Gabriella, you'll never guess what I'm doing.
Gabriella voice on the other side of the phone said, Um, packing your bags because of the nighttime cheer-off? It was on television.
Elaine sighed, and said, No! I've agree to play the cheer-offs with the West High Knights! We're playing as the Wild Phenioxes.
Gabriella's gasp came on the other end and the phone being handed to someone came. Troy's voice came in and asked, Tell me what Gabriella said isn't true. That she heard you wrong and you aren't playing with the West High Knights? Chad's screech came in as well.
She could distinctly hear Sharpay screaming, What?! She's playing with those asses, the West High Knights, the ones who always take the spotlight off of me?
Elaine laughed and said, Off course. I only have half a team, and so does Sally. The only way we can win the trophy is if we team up with them.
Troy's groan came through, and Ryan said calmly, obviously she was on speakerphone, Elaine, Sally's spent the last five years making your life miserable ever since you left her in Albuquerque Middle School to become a East High Wildcat. And now you just expect her to let by gones be by gones? That's not the way Sally works, believe me.
Elaine laughed and said, Figures you people would put me on speakerphone. And of course, if she wants to win that trophy as badly as we do, right girls?
Ashley said, Ow, I think my neck's finally snapped in half. I'm telling you, landing right on my lower back was the worst thing you did, Sally. I might not be able to cheer!
Sally grumbled, Well at least you didn't hit your head on the pavement, causing your head to have a major head wound. I'm not even certain if I should be playing like this.
The guys laughed and said, Come on, stop being such girls and tough it out!
Ariana's shriek, worse then Sharpay's, said, Easy for you to say! You're guys! And also, you didn't land on your skinny little no-butt region! I don't have a butt to land on and of course I think my coccyx took a toll for my butt! Stupid guys!
Troy and the rest of the gang on the phone sounded like, ... Um, okaaaaay then...
Elaine's voice went dead, and she press the speakerphone button and said to Ariana, Um, Troy, Ryan, Chad, Jason, Zeke, Gabriella, Susan, Martha, Sharpay, Kelsey, and all the rest of those people heard you, just so you know.
Ariana turned crimson and squeaked, Um, how's Adrianna doing, Susan?
Susan said chirpily, Just fine, except for the five... thousand... times... she's... called... me for a minute... by... minute recap of what happened at the cheer camp. Susan's distanct cellphone ringtone went off, playing "Supernatural" by Raven Symone, and Susan shrieked, Don't answer it! It's Adrianna, wanting to tell me more about the stupid camp!
Elaine laughed, and said, Oops, I think I telepathically picked it up.
Susan shrieked, Okay, that either really was you, Elaine, or Gabriella looking for a laugh! And I'm going to go with you, Elaine. Or possibly Sharpay. SHARPAY!
Elaine laughed, and said, Don't worry, I was just kidding about that. Or was I?
She laughed and hung up on them, before the phone rang out again, and this time, no one picked it up. Sally raised her eyebrow at her and said, You do know you just hung up on your precious fellow Wildcats, right? And did you hear? Marnie Piper apparently was casted to play Blaire Waldorf's cousin, and she's dying her hair back to brunette!
It was true that Marnie's hair was temporarily blond for the films she had been in. Elaine answered, easily as possible, Yes, I did hear that about Gossip Girl, such a shame. Marnie would of made a better Blaire Waldorf then Leighton Meester, after all, she doesn't have cankles!
Sally laughed and agreed with her by saying, Oh, I know! And Serena van der Woodsen? She's such a great girl! I love her character! I also love sweet little Jenny Humphery, she makes the show so much more enjoyable! Especially when she showed Blaire up! I mean, Blaire Waldorf is such a bitch! I so hate her character.
Elaine shook her red hair and said, I know. I mean, she's just the bitchy character that no one likes! But Serena, she's got something to her! Something that makes everyone love her.
Sally laughed, and suddenly blurted out, You are officially my newest BFF! I mean, who'd knew we'd have so much in common? Alright, what song are we going to dance to? Maybe we could do the song "Time After Time" by (AT or SE?)!
Elaine jumped up and down, and said, OMFG, I heart that song! Yeah, let's do that one! But we'd need an amazing remix to change it up to make it more sultry and amazing!
Sally giggled, and said, Let's do this, girls!
Ariana, Ashley, Tyra, AJ, Kyle, Preston, Jennifer, Heather, Hannah, Megan, Jasmine, and Paige all sighed and rolled their eyes. Now Ashley and Heather had two crazed captains to deal with! Ashley and Heather had bonded fast, especially since they needed all the help they could get! How else would they survive?
A/N: I know it's been forever since I've done a chapter. Please forgive me with the amazingly long, over-four thousand chapter! Until next time, loves! And don't forget to review my new story!
