Ch 2.




Heero silently watched her play from the bleachers.

She was good, he thought. No, better than good…incredible. She was a perfect player.

Just like me…

For Heero, admitting that was a bruise to his ego. He did not favor the idea of another player being his equal. Especially a…a…girl!

He saw her dominate the game, using her speed and agility to cut across the court and make plays. She was a great playmaker, he thought.

Her shooting was as good as Reggie Miller's, quick as lightning and smooth as mercury. Her footwork reminded him of Allen Iverson's, propelling her way past her befuddled defender. She also played with the charisma and pizzazz of Jordan, flashing the tongue once in a while in mockery during a dazzling move.

He suddenly felt a bit hostile towards her.

Who does she think she is? I'm the dominant player in this team.

He even felt a little jealous. He suddenly had this urge to play against her. He wanted to prove to her, and to everyone else…that he was the best.

Girl…whoever you are…I will play you…one on one.






After the try-outs:


The try-out boys were obviously humbled by their experience with the girl. They apologized as well, saying that they were wrong. They scratched their heads, smiled appealingly, and muttered,

"Woah, girl…where did you learn to play ball like that?"

"Damn! The chick has a sexy body and can play ball…Can I get your number?"

"I'll practice one on one with you anytime."

"You're even better than Heero!"

Relena, wiping her sweaty brow with a towel, looked at all of them with a bemused look on her face. "I hope all of you guys learned a lesson. Girls can play ball too."

One boy, an ugly chap with a missing tooth, spoke, "They sure can…wow…I've never seen a girl play like you. I bet you can even beat…Heero Yuy."

Relena shrugged, "Who knows, but my point here is that…"

"Can you beat me then?" interrupted a voice from across the gym.

Relena turned around towards the source of the voice. She saw a young, tall boy with unruly brown hair and prussian blue eyes walk straight for her. He was dribbling a basketball.

She thought he was really intense and…good-looking.

"Who are you?" asked Relena.

The boys cleared a path for the brown-haired boy as he silently walked towards her. He passed the ball hard into her, almost knocking her breath out.

"I am Heero Yuy. And I challenge you to a one on one game."

Relena sighed.

Boys and their egos…
