QUOTE FOR THE CHAPTER

"Why do you have to make me fall when your not even going to catch me? It hurt when you didn't catch me but it hurts even more to see you catch someone else... When I was falling,"

"I'm really going to beat that gorilla today," Ayane boasted on the way to school with her army (Don't forget Jeemo!). "How can you be sure? Gorillas are stronger than red-headed monkeys?" Chichi asked. "Think twice Chichi, gorillas are stronger but monkeys are smarter. And if you call me a monkey again, you'll end up like that gorilla," Ayane answered. "A... Sorry, didn't mean to. I really was just curious," Chichi answered. "Don't worry, I would never ever ever hurt a friend like you," Ayane told Chichi while pinching her cheek. "Stop it!!!" Chichi screemed. "Chichi, you know that nobody would ever resist those chubbilicious cheeks of yours," Yuumi said. "Hey Man! Lay off my diet!!!"

"I didn't say anything about your diet. I just said your cheeks are chubbilicious," Chichi tackled Yuumi down. "Don't compliment about my body!!!"

"Geez, your so touchy, don't be such a softee," Chichi misunterstood Yuumi and slapped her. "Whose a softee?!?" Chichi asked. *BARK* *GRRRRR* Jeemo bit Chichi's skirt and pulled her away from Yuumi. "Jeemo is a real life saver, not like big softee over there," Sasami said. "WHOSE A BIG SOFTEE?!?"

"Run!!!" Ayane screamed.

Later that day

"The game is about to start!!!" "Hurry! Hurry!" These are the screams you can hear in the gym of Shohoku. "Are you ready to be beaten, Master Gorilla?" Ayane said. "By a monkey like you? Never,"

The ball was given to Ayane. She ran to basket but Niyoko used one of her fathers trademark moves. "Flyswatter!" Niyoko screamed. The whole gym went crazy. Niyoko ran after the ball and shoot it. "Are you ready to give-up?" Niyoko asked Ayane. "Never," Ayane answered. This time, Ayane suddenly, when she recieved the ball, threw it to the ring. "If I can't attack under the ring, I'll do it outside the three point-shot," She said to herself. "Whoa, what wrist power! Wait, it's too strong!" One of the watchers said. The ball bounced of the board and right into Niyoko's hand. "Ha! You call that a shot?" Niyoko questioned Ayane. "Now, this is a shot!" Niyoko dribbled the ball to the inside and did a lay-up. When Niyoko was about to make her fifth basket, Ayane's temper was already up. I am being beaten by this untrained gorilla that doesn't know the difference between a rude girl and a genius one. Maybe I should, I know...hehehe She thought. As Niyoko got the ball Ayane tackled her down. "What are you doing?!? This isn't football!" Niyoko shouted. "I don't care," Ayane answered. She got the ball and ran to the ring and... "Ouch!" She tripped. The gym was filled with laughter. "Bad carma eh?" Niyoko said and got the ball and ran to the other side of the court. "Oh no you don't.." Ayane took off her shoe and threw it at the ball while Niyoko was doing the lay-up. "What was that!?" Niyoko questioned. "My shoe," Ayane answered. As the ball was nearing the ring, the shoe hit it. It bounced off the board and became a lose ball. Ayane ran to the ball while Niyoko ran to defence. Ayane did a fake and Niyoko fell for it. Ayane tried to do a simple lay-up but Niyoko was fast. She blocked it and got the ball. Ayane ran to defence but fell because she only had one shoe. Niyoko did a lay-up again. "Wait! Let me get my shoe," Ayane said. The sixth, seventh and eight were pretty tough for Niyoko. "I'm two baskets away from winning, are you sure you won't give up yet?" Niyoko asked. "I said what I said and that will be my answer!" Ayane answered. "Fine, just make sure you won't cry after I beat the stuffing out of you," Niyoko said. This is what really heated up Ayane. Again Ayane was wondering how to beat Niyoko. She faked a shot and Niyoko jumped high. No girl has ever dunked before without the help of a chair or ladder. Ayane remembered what Shigeharu said. Niyoko is pretty tall. Well, for the sake of getting into the club and getting Shigeharu's attention. Ayane thought. When Niyoko landed, she bent her knees. "Sakuragi Dunk!" Ayane stepped on Niyoko's shoulder which gave her a boost. Because of this, she had created a beautiful dunk. Niyoko fell down and Ayane was hanging on the ring. The ball was in and everybody couldn't beleive thier eyes. Everyone screamed. "Ayane! You did it! You beat Niyoko!" Shigeharu said. "Come down already,"

"Shigeharu?"

"What?"

"A little help please? I'm afraid of heights,"

"Sure," Shigeharu got a chair and Ayane went down. "Welcome to the club, Ayane," Niyoko said. "I'm in? YAHOO!" Ayane celebrated. "Don't be too proud, that was just a lucky break. And that was a foul," Niyoko told Ayane. "The Gorilla is just jealous she didn't win," Ayane whispered to Shigeharu. "

So that was the third part. Chapter four might be posted five days from now.
