Chapter 1

The Game

"Common team, let's go out there and beat the Robins fair and square." Coach Joe said as he did every time we played against the Robins, and lost.

"Aw, do we have to Coach? We never win and I think that the Robins are beginning to hate us." Blaine whined.

"Common Blaine, where is your team spirit?" Coach Joe said.

"Yeah Blaine, you do this every time we go out to play against the Robins. It is beginning to get really boring." Brad said.

"I did not ask you for your opinion." Blaine said.

RJ stood up, untwisted his shorts, and then said, "Common guys, settle down. Now is not the time to be arguing and fighting ten minuets before the game. Learn to control yourselves. Being a wimp only affects you and stresses you out; it does not bother the Robins. Now, let's get out there and try to win for once. We will never make it to the soccer tournament next month if we do not."

Chase glared at RJ and then said, "RJ, I think that your headgear is fastened on too tight. Would you please loosen it a bit and then repeat what you were saying?"

"Are you finished now?" RJ asked Chase who said, "No, metal mouth."

"Quiet you two, quit being mean." Coach Joe said as he blew his whistle. We have eight minuets before the game, so let's calm down."

Suddenly, the cheerleaders strutted into the room and then, as she was walking, Monica gave RJ a seductive smile and then said as she winked, "See you later hottie."

RJ, who was ignoring Monica's demeaning actions, pretended to hold a conversation with Blaine, who gave RJ a strange look as he slowly scooted over towards Ken, who sat fidgeting with his fingers in his lap, worrying about the game.

RJ looked up just as Coach Joe scolded the cheerleaders for entering the men's locker room.

All five of the members sitting in the front row, including RJ, snickered as she cheerleaders left the room.

"No one tells me what to do." Jessica said quietly.

"I heard that Jessica." Coach Joe said to Jessica, who did everything except stick her middle finger out at him.

"I know that life is rough, but that is reality. Get used to it or blow it out your ears." Coach Joe said to Jessica who said, "Joe, did I forget to mention that I am already blowing steam out my ears? It happens every time I am around you."

"Please leave Jessica." Coach Joe said to Jessica and the rest of the cheerleaders as the left the room.

After the girls left the room, all the boys busted out laughing. No one could stop laughing until Coach Joe told them that the game started in two minuets. That quieted them down.

With that, they all stood up, walked over towards their lockers and then began to get ready for the game.

RJ opened his locker up and then stared at himself sideways in the mirror.

"Man, is it just me, or are these shorts just tight?"

"I think it is just you. Did you know that you are the second endowed raccoon on the team?"

"Yeah, I come in second on everything. Who is the first?"

Travis is. That is only because he is fat. Only recently did he gain thirty and a -half pounds and have to become a goalie. That is all he can do physically because of being overweight."

"Oh, I feel so sorry for him. I know being super endowed can be a real bother." RJ said.

Suddenly, the third guy down from RJ wanted to change his shorts before the game, so he pulled them down and everyone gasped and blushed when they found out that he was not wearing underwear.

"Dude, cover up. The whole purpose Mom buys underwear for us is to wear it, not go without it. Thank God you are not endowed, too much." RJ said, blushing.

"Sorry guys. I had surgery Friday, so I am still a bit sore. That is why I do not have them on."

Everyone gasped.

"No more sex, poor dude." Ken said.

"It's not like I would have had it anyway. Sex could break my bones because they are fragile because of all the moving around. Oh, do not worry; I was born with the disease that made my bones that way."

"How do you play soccer without breaking your bones?" Ken asked.

"I take pills and pray a lot."

"Oh, I am sorry." Blaine said.

Suddenly, the bell rang and Coach Joe yelled, Game time. Get your team spirit ad let's try to win this game today."

"Oh, here we go for nothing." RJ said shaking his head and sighing as he walked out to the soccer field with the rest of the boys.

A few seconds after RJ and the rest of the Blue Jays team were on the field, Ken said that he could see the Robins marching up into sight, and he was right!

The Robins came marching into the filed in two lines of eleven in their red and white uniforms with green arm and leg warmers and leather mini-jackets.

Feeling puny compared to the Robins, RJ pulled his blue jeans mini-jacket together so no one could see that he was from the Blue Jays.

Jason, RJ's best friend, did the same thing. He did not know why, but if RJ did it, there had to be a reason why.

Suddenly, the captain of the Robins team walked up to RJ and then said with a smug look on his face and both hands on his hips, "We're going to bust your puny buts today and prove that Robins are better than Blue Jays. And this time, we are not going to be so nice."

"And if we win?" RJ responded back saying.

"Me and my team will make sure that you and your wimpy, so called team members don't win the tournament next month."

"You know what?" RJ said. "You play on your team and I'll play on mine, and whoever wins today will take home gold next month."

"Deal, but we are still wining the gold next month."

The captain of the Robins team turned away and walked towards his team that was on the other side of the field.

"Did you tell them who was boss, Chad?" one of the guys asked Chad, who said, "Yes and we made a deal. Whoever wins today takes home the gold trophy next month at the tournament."

"Good deal." said Max.

Suddenly, the whistle sounded, in which meant that the game had officially begun. RJ took a deep breath, and then both and then both the Blue Jays and the Robins took the field.

RJ glared at Chad, who glared back.

The battle of who was taking home gold next month at the tournament was officially on.
