A man with barely any hair on his head came up to us.
"You two girls can't skate in the men's division" he said in a know-it-all type of voice to Peggy and me
"We can skate in whatever division we want" I said standing next to Peggy as we stared daggers at him
"The rules state" he looked down at the book in his hand "Men compete in the men's division and women compete in the women's division, no exceptions" he slammed the book closed. Tony saw what was going on and stepped in front of us
"I bet it doesn't say anything like that in that book of yours"
"Can your dirty ass even read?" he asked which set off a flame in the pit of Tony's stomach
"Why you little" he went to punch the man but I stepped in between them pushing them a far distance from each other "Cool it you two" I said still standing in between them but not holding them back
"Give 'em a break, you know teenagers they tense easily" Skip said intervening
"What's going on here?" an older man came over to us
"This guy is trying to tell my friend and me that we can't compete against any of the men here" I explained
"Well that is true"
"Why?"
"It's the rules young lady"
"Well you can take your rules and shove them up your ass you sexist bastard" I said and spat on the floor "Woops I'm sorry did I get my spit on your shoes?" he looked at me with disgust
"You're disqualified from even competing in this contest" he said and I almost lunged at him. I probably would have if Tony didn't grab me.
"First up we have Tony Alva riding for Zephyr" an announcer said
"Good luck" I managed to say through all the anger
"And Alva finishes with a score of two eights and a nine" Tony smiled as he sat down next to me. When he noticed that I wasn't smiling he placed an arm over my back "Hey, they're just afraid you'd beat everyone here" he said trying to comfort me
"Yea I guess" I said resting my chin on my fists
"Next up is Jimmy Anderson riding for G&S" a man with curly blonde hair and a very orange tan stepped out
"What the hell is he doing?" Kathy asked
"I have no idea, but he sure doesn't seem to be riding straight if you get me" Stacy said (A/N: I hope you guys got it, if not let me know and I'll explain) which made everyone laugh quietly.
The man finished and we all looked over "Anderson ends with thee nines, almost a perfect score" the crowd cheered
"He does a hand stand and gets three nines?" I shook my head "This competition is totally far out, and not in the good way" (A/N: Man if people from the 70's read this, they would be so disappointed)
"Adams your up" the announcer said "Riding for Zephyr we have Jay Adams" Jay put that serious look on his face and licked his lips again before he took off
"I love when he does that" Dawn said in a dreamy state
"I'm not quite sure what he's doing now" the announcer said as Jay kept sliding on the ground and getting back up only to skate right where the platform ended. Everyone stood up when they didn't see flaring blonde hair only to cheer a second later when Jay hopped back up kicking the skateboard under his arm as he walked back over to where the Zephyr team was sitting "Jay walks away with two nines and an eight"
"Good job Jay boy" Skip actually complimented him
"Definitely far out" I said to a nodding Kathy
Two more riders went up "We have one more rider for Zephyr" the announcer said and looked at Stacy "Stacy Peralta" he said and Kathy gave Stacy a good luck kiss before he went onto the platform. Kathy was probably cheering the loudest which was really sweet. Music started blaring through the speakers which seemed to pump him up even more because he did five 360s "I don't know what this kid is doing but it has everyone going crazy" the announcer put his hand over the microphone "What's that move called?" he asked the judges who just shrugged
"It's called a 360" I said
"Well it seems that this move is called a 360" he turned to the judges "And he finishes with three nines, tied with Jimmy Anderson" he gestured for Jimmy to stand up. Putting the microphone down he explained the rules to them "Peralta you're up first" he said and Stacy did two 360s before he took off riding around the perimeter of the platform before he moved his weight to the back part of his skateboard making the front part come up. This made him ride on the two back wheels. He almost lost his balance which made everyone on the Zephyr team, and probably some of the crowd, hold their breaths. This was immediately followed by a chorus of sighs when he caught himself and continued. He ended his run and kicked his skateboard effortlessly catching it before the crowd went crazy. The judges gave each other a few nods, which must have meant something to them, they wrote down his scores. Unlike the other times they didn't show the score, instead they gestured for Jimmy to take his turn. He did some sort of cartwheel and landed perfectly on his feet. I held back a laugh at how ridiculous it looked. There were some claps at that move, obviously only from his team. He, like Stacy, skated around the perimeter doing a few s turns. One of his wheels locked up and he lost his balance and fell off his skateboard. Making everyone on our team cheer, which was the opposite for his team. "Ouch, that's got to hurt" the announcer winced "That is definitely going to affect who will win this competition" he looked over at the judges who had already written down Jimmy's scores. "Will Stacy and Jimmy stand over here please" he placed the nervous teenagers a few feet away from where the judges were seated. The place got completely quiet "We'll start with Stacy Peralta's scores" he said and the judges slowly, almost painfully, held up his scores "And a perfect score for Stacy!" all of the Zephyr team let out a loud cheer and started chanting "Peralta" the announcer hushed everyone down "Now let's see if yet again Anderson and Peralta will be tied" the judges held up his scores and Jimmy had a small smile. He got two tens and a nine, which meant "Stacy Peralta is our winner today" we all ran up to Stacy and some of the boys put Stacy on their shoulders.
"Time to celebrate" Skip said (A/N: Another excuse for good ol' Skipper to drink) followed by cheers of agreement from everyone else. The closest, and cheapest place, to eat was a little restaurant. We all managed to squeeze into two tables towards the back of the restaurant. "To Stacy" Skip held up, shockingly, a glass of water "Who beat everyone else's ass at Del Mar and got first place!" he said as everyone else held up their drinks before once again cheering. He quieted everyone down "And to everyone else" he had a smug look on his face "You're all a punch of dirty pillow biters" he took a handful of water from his glasses and started spraying everyone with water. Screaming as he hit me with cold water I took a handful of the coca cola in my glass and started throwing it at everyone too. Soon we were all deep into a food fight, screaming with laughter until the manager came over.
"Hey" he said trying to break up the little, ok big, food fight. When no responded he grew impatient "Hey!" he said louder this time which got everyone to stop. We all just stared at him, with our hands in mid air covered in food and drinks "This is a family restaurant" he said in a matter of fact tone
"Well then I guess we have to share" Skip said and dumped the rest of his water onto the balding man's head. All of the people from Zephyr roared with laughter, well we were the only people. The manager wiped the water off his face and stared in anger at all of us. Sid still thought it was hilarious and threw a piece of his burger bun at the man. This sent the balding manager over the edge and he dragged Sid completely out of his seat before he punched him. My eyes widened but they soon narrowed and my face turned around.
"You want to play? Oh we'll play" I said before launching myself on top of the angry manager. I grabbed onto his neck to keep him from throwing me off. I felt someone hold me by my waist before I was taken off of the manager "Tony let go, he punched my brother. I'm gonna teach the asshole a lesson!" I gritted through my teeth
"No come on, you
don't want to get arrested do you?" he asked still holding on to
me. I gave up trying to struggle and sighed
"No, I guess not"
he let go of me. Balling up my fist it came crashing down on the side
of the mans face which caused both of us pain
"Ok, let's go we're taking you outside" Tony picked me up over his shoulder, which just made me kick and scream like a six year old "Nice going you made your fist bleed" as if on cue my hand started throbbing but I didn't care. Getting to punch the asshole made my day worthwhile
"Where's Sid?" I asked realizing that no one else had come outside
"I think he got his nose broken" he looked me in the eyes "No I'm not taking you back in there, so don't even think about it"
"Fine I promise I'll stay out here, as long as you go in and see how Sid is"
"Deal" he said after a moment of looking at me to see if I was lying. He disappeared back inside. I looked down at my feet, but looked up just in time to see Tony and Stacy helping Sid walk outside "Oh god, Sid are you ok?" I asked walking over to them
"I'm fine, just a little bruised" he assured me
"Which is more then I can say for the manager" Stacy said moving Sid's weight around so he could hold him up easier "Dana where did you learn to punch like that?"
"Why? What did I do?"
"You broke his nose" Tony said
"Woops" I said trying to sound innocent
"Which means, we should get out of here as quick as we can. Someone called the cops while we helped Sid up" Stacy explained and we all piled into cars.
Ya I didn't really plan on having Peggy and Dana not compete, but oh well. Not one of the happiest chapters in this story but who knows what will happen? Hope you guys liked the chapter, enough to review :hint hint:.
