Sorry, that I have not updated in, I think, a little over three months. I had so many ideas of how the Bladebreakers should meet Tammy and I am not sure if I am going to keep it this way or not, but I probably will.
Sorry, about any grammar mistakes.

"I'm Tammy Smith." Said a girl with red and black basketball shorts with a red and black jersey on and her brown hair pulled back in a ponytail. She had her arms crossed over her chest waiting for them to say something. Tyson looked down and up at her. She could not have been any taller then Kenny, and had a nice even tan. He was looked into her eyes; it was her eyes that amazed him the most, she had light brown eyes that sparkled in the light. Tammy gave Tyson I-am-waiting-please-continue look, but he didn't get the message. Ray saw the look on her face and knew someone had to speak.
"Hi! I'm Ray; this is Max, Kenny, Kai, and Tyson." Ray said while pointing to everyone and saying their names. "We are the Bladebreakers and we're here to ask you if you wanted to join our team for an upcoming tournament." Tammy stared at him, she was about to open her mouth to say something when a girl with short blonde hair and pink streaks in her hair came up to her.
"Hey girl, aren't you going to introduce me to your--OH MY GOSH! YOU GUYS ARE THE BLADEBREAKERS!" She said yelling the last part of her sentence. "Oh, sorry I'm Kelly and this Tammy. I'm like your number one fan. I bet you get that a lot."
"She really is your number one fan, though. She talks about you guys everyday with a new fact. It's annoying, really! No offense." Tammy said while not trying to be rude. Kelly thought Tammy was being rude so she elbowed her in her arm. "Ouch!" The boys just stared at the two girls, as they started hitting each other back and forth.
"Captains" yelled the ref, who was young and very good looking with short blond hair. The girls turned their head towards him and back to the boys.
"That's us!" said Tammy "We got to go, but can I talk to you guys about this after the game?"
"Sure!" said Max with a smile on his face.
"Cool! You guys are welcome to stay and watch. This is our championship game, so it should be really exciting."
"Yeah, let's stay you guys." Tyson said in an excited voice. They all nodded in agreement except Kai who stood a little bit off in the distance with his arms crossed and eyes closed.
"Bye." Called Kelly over her shoulders, that was being pushed by Tammy. They talked to ref and met with the other two captains from the other team. The girls got in a circle and yelled "WE BELIEVE!" only the other team thought they said "MAKE THEM BLEED!" Finally, the ref blew his whistle to start the game. The starting five girls from each team together walked up to the court to get their positions.
"I'm ready" said Tammy to Lauren who was walking right next to her.
"Ready for what?" asked Lauren
"War"
"But it is just a basketball game."
"Okay, you just liked ruined whatever moment I was having there." Tammy said smiling at Lauren and Lauren smiling back at her.
"Sorry." Lauren said as they got into their positions around the circle in center of the court with. Tammy looked at the girl next to her, who had her black hair with red highlights in a bun and looked at her jersey number that had the number 22. She put one hand in front of the girl getting ready to grab the ball if it came her way. Danielle stepped into the center of the circle giving Tammy an I'm-going-to-make-sure-you-get-the-ball look. Tammy nodded and watched the ref point to each of the baskets making sure everyone knew which basket was theirs. The ref looked at the girls and threw the ball up into the air with the two girls in the center position jumping up to tap the ball to one of their players. Lauren tapped the ball first to Tammy who dribbled the ball down the court to the basket with her defender right on her. Tammy took the ball and did a crossover to shake off her defender and did a left handed lay-up making the score 2-0. The crowd cheered as the ball went into the hoop. Tammy ran backwards to her defense position, while looking down the court seeing Danielle point to her and Tammy pointed back at her.
"Tammy, look up!" Her Coach shouted from the sidelines. Tammy looked up ahead of her and saw the girl she was suppose to be guarding bringing up the ball. "Got ball!" she shouted as she ran up to half court and watched as the girl bounced the ball up and down the court. Tammy was looking for the pattern in her dribbling and she found it bounce, bounce, bounce and a crossover. Tammy took two steps backwards and waited for the girl to come up her. The girl jogged up to Tammy until she was about five feet away, Tammy charged and stole the ball from her. Tammy could hear the screams from the crowd as she stole the ball; she also heard the sounds of the girl's foot steps pounding behind her. Tammy reached the basket and did a right handed lay-up. "Behind" shouted one her teammates as she watched the ball bounce off the backboard and into the basket. Tammy turned around and ran down the court. The people in the stands stood up and cheered making all kind of noise. The coach on the other team called a time out. "Time!" yelled the ref. The girls got around their coach.
"Great start, girls! Let's keep the lead, okay? Um... do your little cheer thing, girls."
"Will you cheer with us, Coach?" asked Danielle.
"No! Now go." The girls put their hands in the middle and chanted "WE BELIEVE". The ref blew the whistle telling them it was time to start again. A girl from the other team stepped next to the ref to receive the ball out of bounds pass it to number 22. She dribbled the ball up the court and started to go towards the right and charged right through Tammy. She passed the ball to an open player and she scored. The crowd booed and hissed. Tammy shook her head in disappointment and waited for Lauren to pass her the ball. Once Lauren passed her the ball she dribbled it slowly up the court to pass some time for Lauren to run up the court. Tammy saw that Lauren was in her position ready for anything. Tammy ran up to mid court with her defender right on her. Tammy took a couple of steps back and held on hand in the air with five fingers up. Kelly quickly moved and shook off her defender in one swift movement. Tammy saw this at the corner of her eyes. Picking up the ball she swung it around her back and passed it to Kelly for a wide open shot. Kelly squared up to the basket and shot the ball into the hoop. The crowd stood up and cheered making all kinds of noises. Tammy ran up to Kelly and slapped her on the back of her shoulder.
"NICE!" she yelled loud enough for Kelly to hear her.
"THANKS!" Kelly yelled back. They both turned around and ran down court to their positions. The girl with the black and red highlights brought down the ball a little too quickly, so Tammy was not ready for her. The girl took this to her advantage and went straight for the hoop and scored.
"Damn it!" Tammy cursed under her breath. "Hey Lauren, let's switch places. You bring up the ball, okay?"
"Um... are you sure you want to do this?" Lauren asked.
"Yes, I'm sure" Tammy said picking up the basketball and stepping out of bounds. She gently passed the ball to Lauren and ran back on court. "You know what play to call. Don't doubt yourself. You can do it!" She whispered to Lauren then ran up to Lauren's old position. Lauren looked down the court towards Tammy and Tammy nodded to reassure her. Lauren nodded and bounced the ball on the court while running towards her defender. She raised her hand in the air and raised two of her fingers. Her defender came right to her and blocked her from trying to pass her from either side. Lauren stepped to the left and so did her defender leaving the right side open for Lauren to get open and pass to someone else to start the play. She moved her left foot in front of her defender and bounced the ball with her. Tammy and Kelly, at the same time, shook off their defenders and waited for Lauren to give the ball to either of them. Lauren bounced passed the ball to Kelly. Danielle ran past her defender and screened her own teammate's defender. The girl ran past both of them and was open. Kelly passed the ball to her and the girl squared up to the hoop, but was blocked by Danielle's defender. Lauren stood by the wing of the three-point line waiting for the girl to pass the ball to her. The girl searched for Lauren, and saw her clapping her hands for the ball. She passed the bounced passed the ball to Lauren, who took the ball squared up to the hoop and tried to shoot it, but the sudden vision of her missing stopped her.
The ref blew the whistle "Up and down, blue ball." Tammy ran up to Lauren to talk to her.
"What happened? You had that shot." She asked Lauren.
"I don't know. I-I-I just saw me missing it li—"
"It's the first quarter; don't worry about missing the shoot, okay." Tammy said with a reassuring smile. "Let's go. We got five seconds until the first quarter ends then were back on at the fourth quarter." The girl from the other team passed the ball to her teammate and before she could throw the ball across court the buzzer well buzzed.
Half time with the Bladebreakers (I'm going to skip the 2nd and 3rd period.)
Spalding's cheerleaders came out on to the middle of the gym floor ready to perform. "Wow, Tammy's school has a lot of school spirit." Max said to Tyson.
"People scoff at things like school, but look at these girls giving their all like this!" Tyson responded then he notices a girl doing the splits between two chairs. "Ooo, stretchy! Where was I?"
"You were pretending that seeing scantily clad girls in revealing postures was a spiritual experience." Kenny said.
"Who said I was pretending?" Tyson scoffed (I don't think Tyson would say anything like that).
"Having fun?" Tammy asked before the boys could continue their conversation.
"Uh... yes we are." Tyson said then stood up to greet her. "How are you?"
"I'm fine! What about you guys?"
"We're doing just fine. This game is intense I mean look at the score 21-20. You guys are winning by a hair." Ray said. Tammy nodded in agreement with Ray.
"Are you playing next quarter?" Max asked Tammy.
"Nope, fourth quarter." She replied.
"Tammy, the coach wants to meet with you, me, Danielle, and Lauren." Kelly said. Tammy waved them a goodbye. They walked across the gym floor to the other side of the gym to meet the coach.
"I need Lucy, Michelle, Rachel, Terra, and Patty over here, please." The Coach yelled to the girls. "Everyone else sit down, please."
Fourth quarter with the score tied 33-33
"This is so exciting!" Danielle said "I can't wait to get out there and kick some ass."
"Wow, you and Tammy!" Lauren said to Danielle.
"What?"
"She was all like 'I'm ready' and I asked 'Ready for what?' then she answered 'War'." Lauren said.
"Well, this is war, Lauren."
"Whatever!"
"Danielle, Lauren, Julie, Kelly, and Tammy go check in." The Coach said to them. The girls checked in and got on to the court to play the last quarter and win the game.
The ref handed the ball to a girl on the other team to start the game. She looked around for an open teammate; she tried to pass the ball to a tall girl with red hair and lots of freckles. Danielle intercepted the ball from mid air and ran down the court for a lay-up. The scoreboard quickly changed its numbers from 21-20 to 23-20. The crowd cheered and some booed at the easy lay up. Danielle ran back down to guard her girl while two girls from the opposite side ran up the court to get the ball. Danielle could have sworn that one of the girls gave her an evil look. Danielle ran past Tammy whispered 'nice shoot' to her while watching the girls bring down the ball. Number 22 bounced the ball on the gym floor turned towards Tammy direction. Tammy watched the ball for pattern to steal and found it. She ran it through her head of how the play should work. Lauren looked at Tammy and knew she had something planned. Tammy turned toward her and signed Lauren what to do; they worked on this play at the park lots of times. Tammy waited for the pattern to start at the beginning. She took off and so did Lauren at the same time, Tammy stole the ball from her before the girl could register it. Tammy dribbled the ball to the hoop and could see Lauren was right across the court from her with Lauren's defender right in the middle of them. Lauren slowed down as Tammy sped up towards the hoop with girl right next to her. Tammy went for the lay-up and the girl jumped up with her just as Tammy and Lauren knew she would. Tammy took the ball passed it behind her back to Lauren, who went up with it for a left handed lay-up. The crowd cheered with excitement and the cheerleaders doing a cheer for their team.
Both girls ran back down to their defensive positions with the scoreboard changing its numbers. Number 22 received the ball dribbled the ball down the court with her teammate right beside her. She got up to the middle of the court and passed the ball to her teammate, so Tammy could not steal the ball. Lauren took a couple of steps up towards the girl. The girl stepped over the half court line along with her teammate. Lauren ran up to the girl, which made her pick up the ball and stop dribbling. Lauren tried the grab the ball and make it a jump ball, but couldn't do it. Tammy ran up to them both and grabbed the ball, but she didn't have enough strength to pull the ball away from the girl. With the ball being tugged back and forth the girl tugged as hard as she could and threw Tammy into the bench her own teammates were sitting on. Tammy tumbled into the bench hitting the back of her head on it. She winced at the pain, but got back up as quickly as she could, trying to ignore pain that she felt. The crowd had a shocking expression on their faces as they saw her bounce up. Danielle ran up to her and asked if she was okay. Tammy told her to play the game and not worry about her. Rubbing the back of her head after the other team scored she felt a slight bump in the back of her head. Tammy got into her offensive position and brought down the ball. She looked at the clock and saw that there was one minute in the game; she knew that her team had won. All they had to do was play keep away from the other team. Tammy held two fingers up high so everyone could see what the plan was. Tammy passed the ball to Kelly than ran over to screen Lauren's defender. Kelly passed the ball to Lauren and she passed it down low to Danielle. The girls moved around while passing and dribbling the ball until one of the defenders stole the ball and got ran down the court to do a lay up. Finally the game was over with Spalding being the first place team again and the other team coming in second place.
Tammy went up to the Bladebreakers to tell that she was going to get changed and show them where she would meet them. Pushing through the crowd that was leaving the gym, Tammy was looking for the group of boys that she met earlier. Tammy couldn't see them from the ground so she looked for something to stand on and found a chair. Standing on top of it she gazed out and saw them exiting the gym. Tammy jumped down from the chair and started to run towards the exit pushing gently anyone who was in her away. Finally she reached them and tapped Ray on the shoulder. "There you guys are. I have been looking for you."
"You guys played an amazing game! How's your head?" Ray asked with concern
"Thank you! It's fine nothing a little ice won't fix."
"It was very exciting. Congrats, on winning the game!" Max said in a very excited voice.
"Thank you!" Tammy said with a simile on her face.
"You are a very skilled player with lots of talent." Kenny said.
"Keep going. Na, just kidding um... I am going to get changed and meet you guys right here. Is that okay?" Tammy asked.
"Yeah" "That's fine!" "Great!" They all said at the same time. Tammy left them at the door and ran into the locker room. She quickly put on her light blue jeans with a dark blue tank top and took out the band that she had in her hair. She let her hair fall down in place then shook her head. She ran her fingers lightly on the back of her head to feel if the bump had gotten bigger. She grabbed her bag and left saying goodbye to all the girls who were still changing. She met the Bladebreakers where she said she would and showed them to the nearest exit.
"Okay, so what about this upcoming tournament?" Tammy asked after she opened the door for the Bladebreakers.
"Well, we don't know too much about it except we need six bladers and it is in the Bahamas. I image that when we get there they will tell us about it." Kenny said trying to remember if there was anything else he should remember.
"A Beyblade Tournament in the Bahamas, that sounds like fun!"
"Oh yeah, our plane is living this Saturday to the Bahamas."
"Well, it works out because I have a half day on Wednesday and Thursday and Friday we have off. My mom will probably let me, because I have gotten all A's in my classes. However, my dad..." She said as she let her sentence trail off.
"What?" Tyson asked her.
"I know he won't let me especially with a bunch of boys. Maybe I can 'accidentally' forget to tell him." She said talking to herself mostly. "I've got a plan."
That is it for now. I've decided that since school has started now that will try to update once a month. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Reviews are always welcome!! Have a great school year!!
