CHAPTER 8- SOME GOOD OLD FASHIONED GLOATING
Meghan, Kaitlyn and Nicole were walking in the hall when they ran into the saxophone players.
"Ready to mess with us?" one of them asked.
"As unbelievable as this may sound no," said Meghan.
"We just wanted to tell you that we have allies and we're so totally gonna kick your butt," said Kaitlyn.
"Booya!" said Nicole, Kaitlyn and Meghan.
"Well, remember Mike?" asked a saxophone player.
"Yeah, wait till he hears that we have allies," said Nicole.
"Oh he has allies," said another saxophone player. "We're his allies."
"No you're not," said Meghan, "you wouldn't be smart enough to come up with the idea of getting them."
"We have an alliance with our saxophone god," said a saxophone player. "And then we the saxophones of the round table made another alliance with Andy and his friend."
"So you turned Mike against us?" Nicole asked.
"Very good," they said.
"Why you--"
Nicole tried to charge the saxophone players but Meghan and Kaitlyn grabbed her before she could get very far.
"Nicole chill pill," said Meghan, "we'll just kick Mike outta our section."
"Yeah we don't need him," said Kaitlyn, "we got the flutes and clarinets."
The saxophone players started laughing.
"You formed an alliance with them?" one of the saxophone players asked, "there's no way they'd stand a chance against us."
"And the horns," said Meghan.
"Ok, maybe you have a better chance, but we the saxophones of the round table will still win," said Mike.
"Wait," said Kaitlyn, "I have an idea."
She, Meghan and Nicole walked away.
A FEW MINUTES LATER. "Form an alliance with us?" asked Pat.
"Yeah we hate Mike. He formed an alliance with the saxophones and the tubas," said Kaitlyn.
"What are you trying to pull?" asked Scott. "You can't fool us. We know you're gonna pretend to be on our side and then tell our strategies to Mike."
"We hate Mike!" Meghan said getting annoyed. "When we get through with him, he'll be able to play the saxophone and the bassoon at the exact same time."
"Look we're bassoon players," said Kaitlyn. "We don't make promises we can't keep."
"I think they're telling the truth," said Lindsay. "I say we give them a chance."
"Ok. We'll be your allies," said the percussionists.
"Well, it's time to go train the prisoners," said Nicole.
She, Kaitlyn and Meghan left.
MEANWHILE.
Andy and his friend walked into the "green hall." Sure enough, the trombone and baritone players were still there.
"Guess what we got that you don't," said Andy.
"A huge wart on your butt?" one of the trombone players said sarcastically.
The trombone and baritone players started laughing.
"No you idiot," snapped Andy. "Allies!"
The trombone and baritone players stopped laughing.
"I hope you'll get used to getting your butts kicked from now on," said Andy's friend.
Andy and his friend turned to go.
"We have allies too," said a baritone player. "We've got the trumpets. They're paying us. So there."
Andy turned around.
"Well, uh we'll still kick your butts," he said, "cuz we got the saxophones and Mike."
"Whatever," said another bariotne player.
Andy and his friend stomped away.
AND LASTLY.
The clarinet, flute and French horn players walked up to the trumpet players. "Oh no! Here come the flutes and clarinets and French horns! Help me mommy!" a trumpet player said sarcastically.
"We have allies and you don't. Ha-ha," said Schellen.
"Oh, but we do," said Jon.
"We've got the trombones and baritones," said Jon.
"Well we the honorable members of the French horn section have agreed to join up with the flutes and clarinets and bassoons and kick your butt," said Amanda.
"You kick our butts? Ha fat chance," said another trumpet player. "We'll see who's butt gets kicked."
The trumpet players walked away. By the end of the day, all the sections had a bad case of sectionalism (pride to their own sections) and great confidence that their section would beat the sections they were fighting with. They thought that now that they had allies, they'd totally dominate. We'll see.
