"Alright ladies for those of you who don't know what volleyball is to put it simply it's ping pong with your arms. Now who of you have never played volleyball?" A few students raised their hands."Ok about half of you. How about those who don't know pair up with the ones who do know and you can have some one on one. Oh I almost forgot. You can call me Jenna."

While everyone else was pairing up Scarlet walked up to the coach saying,"Really? They assigned you as my coach?"

"Hey I like sports. Besides being a biology teacher is a little gross."

"Oh yeah. You and frogs have some sort of connection." Scarlet put up air quotes.

After Duncan's prom night was crashed by Abaddon and Astroth M.E.G.T.A.F saw potential in her. This lead to her changing her life goals from college and loving family to training sessions and speaking as a representative. Over the years she's been everywhere with Scarlet. She was her preschool principal,middle school counselor,and now her volleyball coach.

"Hey don't forget you've got an appointment today."

"How could I?"

"Hey!" A smaller girl came over to them,"You wanna be my partner?"

Scarlet had a confused look fall upon her face,"You're asking me?"

"Yeah,besides there's no one else left."

"Oh,ok."

The two grabbed a ball and moved to the court with the other girls. Scarlet taught her how to hold her hands and bump the ball before they started their one on one. After a few bumps the girl spoke,"My name is Piper and...you're Scarlet Rosenblatt."

"How'd you know?"

"Everyone knows you and even they didn't I would have known. I know everything in this school."

"Such as?"

"Well you've been friends with Garnet Vasquez and Finn Rogers since preschool. Finn fits the bill of one of the indie kids,Garnet's in the Nerd section but,you don't exactly fit anywhere. All three of you from the top groups that people like Zane Steele and his crew bully."

"Is he a blonde who looks and acts like the stereotypical jock?"

"Yeah,you met him in the hallway. When he was picking on Finn."

"Ugh…" Scarlet thought about what happened that morning. She thought she was going to slap his face off when he taunted her. Just thinking about it made her blood boil again.

Scarlet calmed down before asking,"So I'm guessing you're a reporter for the school paper?"

"That would be fun but,I get an even bigger smile selling information. If you ever need anything just know that I know." Piper bumped the ball once more until she heard someone call her name.

Scarlet bumped the ball without even realizing that Piper had turned her back. Piper was too busy piping to notice that the ball was coming right for her. Scarlet knew the ball was too fast so the only thing she could was yell,"Piper heads up!"

Piper turned around but,it was too late. The ball landed right in her face and sent her to the ground. The gym went silent as everyone stared at the two. Scarlet rushed over to Piper's who was holding her bleeding nose.

"Oh my gosh,Piper! I'm so sorry! I'm just a hard hitter and..." Scarlet had concern in her voice as she saw the blood pouring from her nose.

"It's cool dude," Piper seemed fine with the situation,"I mean it's just a nose bleed."

Jenna walked over to the two of them saying,"Calm down everyone she's fine." Jenna knelt down next to Piper and uncovered her nose for a second before covering it again. Groaning she said,"Someone get me a rag and Scarlet you can take her to the nurse." One of the girls walked over with a rag in hand and gave it to Jenna who gave it to Piper.

Scarlet helped Piper get to her feet before they walked out of the gym. Piper's arm was around Scarlet as they walked down the halls. Scarlet continued to apologize and even looked distraught as she did so.

That's when Piper stopped them,"Chill Scarlet I said I was ok and don't apologize for apologizing."

"It's just...stuff like this happens all the time."

"If you ask me that sounds exciting."

"It's not trust me. There's a lot about me you don't know that would make you rethink that sentence."

"Well whatever it is I'm sure I'll find out." Piper smiled wide even with the bloody rag on her face.

Scarlet thought,'For someone in pain she's preppy.'

Eventually they did make it to the nurse's office where Piper got herself cleaned up. The nurse was taking down some information that was needed for the 'I Had A Nurse Visit' slip. When she got to one piece of the form she asked,"How exactly did this happen?"

"I kinda bumped a ball in her face during volleyball."

"Oh wow," the nurse looked surprised,"you must have heavy hands."

'You have no idea lady.' Just then two more people walked in.

Scarlet turned to see Connor Adams and some other kid. He had short,reddish brown hair with hazel eyes to compliment. He was somewhat toned from being on the basketball team and of course he had the height for it too. Connor wasn't really a jock but at the same time he wasn't really a prep student. To Scarlet he was the perfect combination.

"Hey Scarlet,fancy seeing you here."

'He's speaking to me! What do I say?' Scarlet couldn't find the words to say so she just smiled and waved.

"Were you coming with Garnet and Finn to my party tonight?" Scarlet could only shake her head out a thumbs up."Great,I'll see you there." Scarlet kept shaking and smiling.

"Good grief." Piper got up from her seat taking the slip from the nurse and pulled Scarlet out of the room.

~Later That Day~

Jenna typed in the passcode to open the door to the M.E.G.T.A.F base,"You know you'd do good on the volleyball team."

"I'd kill someone. No I'd kill a whole team." Said Scarlet as they started walking into the base.

"All you need is a little practice." As they passed by there were many obvious stares. Even after fourteen years there were still eyes the averted themselves when caught. Jenna sighed before saying,"Don't let them get to you."

"Don't worry I'm use to it."

They started walking into the lab where and Duncan were already waiting."What took you?" He asked leaning on one of the tables.

Completely ignoring her brother Scarlet said,"Hey doc."

"Little punk…" He said as his sister got on the examining table. He looked up and saw his ex before looking away,"Jenna."

"Duncan."

"All done." They heard say as a full body scan showed on the projector."Well you look fine. Everything seems to be working properly. How's that fire breathe going for you?"

"Ok I guess. My strength levels seem to be fluctuating though."

"Oh that's going to happen for a while now considering you're going through puberty. It'll eventually stabilize when you hit adulthood. Why did something happen?"

"Oh you know just the usual accidentally hurting people."

"And what do you mean be hurt?" Duncan asked curiously.

"I kinda...hit a girl in the face during P.E but she's fine."

"Don't worry Duncan" Jenna said,"it was just a volleyball."

"I'm not worried. I use to get into worse all the time. You know that."

Jenna cleared her throat before hinting,"Wasn't there something you wanted to ask your brother Scarlet?"

Scarlet didn't know where or how but she knew Jenna just knew somehow. Sighing she ask,"I was kinda wondering if I could go to this...party tonight?"

"Scarlet…you know how I feel about parties."

"Oh come on!" She got up from the examining table,"The one time I want to be social and you turn it down." Duncan turned his head before she continued,"I know what you're thinking but that was only one time. Besides what would he want with me?"

Duncan turned his head back,"That's that same thing I said! The answer is no!"

Duncan turned his back from her. Like a persistent puppy she jumped back in front of his face. She put on her best innocent face and said the magic words,"Pleeeaaassseee big brother?"

Duncan couldn't help but cringe before he gave in,"Fine! But you better be home by eleven got it?"

A sly smile wet on her face,"I love you."

"Mhm."
