Thanks to my reviewers- love you guys lots and lots.

Chapter 6-

It was finally the night of the JV/Varsity Dinner. Julie, Cate and Connie were busy getting ready in their dorm room. Alice and her roommate Karen were helping Cate with her hair and makeup. The four girls decided that for the dinner Cate was going to look like a girl whether she wanted to or not.

Cate had tried to protest but she ended up with four girls taller than her string her down. So her she was, sitting in her desk chair with Alice doing her makeup and Karen styling her hair. Connie was deciding between two dressed while Julie was trying to find her dress shoes in the mess that was their closet.

"There- a masterpiece." Alice said as she closed the eye shadow in her hand.

"Hair is done." Karen said.

Connie and Julie rushed over to look at Cate.

"Great job girls." Connie said.

"Thanks" Alice and Karen said, Alice then packed up Cate's makeup and put it on the dresser and pulled Cate up so that she could see herself in the mirror.

Cate stared at her reflection she actually looked pretty. She couldn't believe it.

"Maybe a certain boy will finally get his act toget.." Julie started to say but was quickly hushed by Connie.

Cate didn't respond, she was to busy staring at herself in the mirror.

"Well our work is done. Tell us all about dinner when you get back." Alice said as she and Karen left their room.

"Come on the boys will be waiting for us." Julie said grabbing her purse and coat.

Connie grabbed her purse, coat and Cate's stuff as well. Julie ended up dragging Cate away from the mirror and out into the hallway.

The girls made it to the 1st floor where the JV Boys and Varsity Boys were waiting for them. Julie came down the main stairs first, and then Connie and Cate last. Since Cate was last she could see the expression on the rest of her teammates faces when the girls came out. Julie looked pretty in her Navy blue dress and matching sweater. She went and stood next to Dwayne and Kenny. When Connie came down in her black flower print dress she thought that Charlie was going to keel over. Charlie likes Connie?? Wow that was something new. She noticed that Connie went and stood next to Charlie. Finally she just rolled her eyes and walked down the stairs. When she hit the bottom step she heard Charlie say "What did you do to my sister."

"Nothing, she already had it all, we just helped her to emphasis it," Connie said.

Cate discretely looked over to see what Adam thought but noticed that he was not part of the group. Guy came up to her and told her that Adam went with Riley and Scott to the restaurant to make sure their banquet room was ready.

The Varsity team then divided the team up into cars to get them to the restaurant.

The food was really good at the Minnesota Club. Everyone had steak, potatoes and salad. During dinner Cate noticed that the two teams seemed to be getting along. She saw Riley sitting next to Charlie, Cole talking with Fulton and Scott was making conversation with Goldberg and Julie. Connie and Cate were sitting to the right and left of Adam- he and Scott were the only ones who were willing to sit next the girls.

Cate noticed that Adam spent a lot of time talking to Connie. She was a little hurt by this, but decided it would not ruin her evening. When Connie got up to use the restroom, Adam finally acknowledged her presence.

"Cate, you look really pretty." Adam said.

"Thanks." Cate said taking a bit of her potatoes.

"No, you look different. Like a girl." Adam said.

"Funny Adam, Last time I checked I was a girl." Cate said looking at him.

Cate saw the hurt look come across his face and was about to apologies when Riley came up to them and asked Adam to come with him.

Then Cate noticed that the entire Varsity team had left the room.

"I think it's a cake." Averman said.

"What's a cake." Cate asked.

"Dessert- I think it's the surprise that they are bringing in." Charlie said.

Sure enough a cake was rolled in. But what was written on it was what made the JV team upset. THANKS FOR DINNER LOSERS. Charlie groaned when the waiter handed them the check.

"Varsity is supposed to pay for this." Luis said.

Julie and Guy took the bill and asked to speak to the manager. While they were doing that the waiters in the room began to clear away the plates. Julie and Guy came back in twenty minutes later and said that the school was straitening it out and sending someone with a check and transportation to pick them up. They left the banquet room and went out to the lobby area. Sure enough eight minutes later Dean Buckley's secretary and the Athletic Director were at the Club check in hand to fix the problem that the Varsity team caused. They paid the manager and herded the team into the two school vans that they brought. The Athletic Director promised to speak to the Varsity coach on Monday. The Dean's secretary let them into the Athletic Hall and told them to go to bed.

But the JV team was too upset and wired to go to sleep. Charlie told them that they needed to get back at the Varsity team. They decided to go to the girls floor commons area and talk.

Alice and some of her teammates were watching a movie on the TV when the hockey team came in. Alice noticed the looks on their faces and paused the movie.

"What's wrong.?" Alice asked.

"The Varsity team left us at the restaurant and made us pay the bill." Guy said as he sat down on one of the couches.

"That sucks." Said Karen.

"Yeah and now we need to come up with a way to get them back." Charlie said.

"Just as long as I don't lose my scholarship." Russ said. That statement got glares from the entire team.

The JV girls on Alice's team decided to go to bed leaving Alice and Karen to help the hockey team plot revenge on the Varsity.

Somehow they ended up deciding to break into the Dean's office and "borrow" his ant colony and set them free onto the team. Alice and Karen were giving them access to the horses to help them keep watch on the ground. They all went to their rooms and changed into black clothing.

"I personally think that this is the stupidest idea that we have come up with" Julie announced.

"I second that." Connie and Cate added.

They met up with Alice and Karen who had the keys to the stables. They went to the lobby and met up with the boys. It was decided that Julie, Karen, Alice, Dwayne and Averman would go to the stables. Connie and Guy would be look out for the Dean's office. Fulton, Charlie and Russ would get the ants. Luis and Kenny would hit the science labs. Cate would stay in the Athletic Hall to let everyone back in. Goldberg and Megan (a teammate of Alice's) would be in charge of stacking out the Varsity Dorms.

The plan went off without a hitch and they really made the Varsity team mad. It was decided that they would set the little prank war on the ice the next morning. It would be the JV Ducks against the Varsity Warriors- no coaches. Riley could get them in the rink at 6 AM. Both teams agreed and everyone quickly went back to their dorm rooms. The Varsity team never did find out how the JV team accomplished their prank nor did they find out that the equestrian team helped them out.
