"Ok, so we all know what to do?" said Nabi

Doki and Lip Cat nodded. Even though Lip Cat was only there to be a witness, she felt as though she wanted to be included. Doki looked as serious as ever. Right now, Coach B was talking with Jessica on why she didn't let Doki in the squad.

Let's tune in:

"Well…because I didn't think she was that good. I mean, she was okay, but she just wasn't good enough." She said this with a little smirk on her face…

"Really…because from what I heard…" The three of them walked out of his office. "…she was pretty good…"

Jessica saw them and started to panic. She never thought of having Nabi go up against her. "Well…I…she…"

Coach B smirked and said "Yeah, that's what I thought…" He looked at the three of them and said "I'll leave the rest to you. Meanwhile, I think I'll stand on the sidelines and watch…"

Now everyone could see the panic in Jessica's face. Her cat ears were twitching with nervousness. Then she said:

"Nabi, hi! I-its great t-to see y-…"

He put up his hand. She now knew that he was against him. Then she saw Doki and knew what was going on. She frowned, put her hand on her hip and said: "Oh I get it. You want a second chance. Well fine…" At this point, she started whispering: "but I can guarantee you'll never make it here…"

After a while, Doki was all dressed up in her cheerleading outfit and was ready. Once the music started, she went off. She twirled on a bar and spun forward three times and stuck the landing. She did three backwards somersaults and did many other tricks. Finally, she bounced really high on the trampoline and spun backwards many times before she ended it off with a split…

Everyone in the room, even Jessica, was stunned. Nabi just couldn't stop looking at Doki. And Jessica was too stunned to tell her if she made the cut or not. The two other cheerleaders were the same way. After a while, Jessica said:

"Alright girls. Let's talk…"

And they did. For about 15 minutes. While they were talking, Doki said:

"Man… what a rush! I've never felt so tired in my life."

Then Nabi said "You were really great out there. It was…amazing…"

Doki smiled and laughed. They both did. After a few minutes they looked at each other real close, Just as they were about to kiss, Jessica said:

"Alright! We've made…our decision…"

After a brief moment of disappointment, they all looked at her. She looked disappointed herself. Then after about a minute, she finally said: You're…on the squad…"

Doki and Nabi looked at each other and hugged more than hey ever had. Afterward, she went down to meet the squad. They all looked happy to see her there.

Well, everyone except for Jessica…

===Epilogue===

Only 30 more seconds left on the clock. Nabi had more determination than ever. Sporting his #24 jersey, he looked at the far end of the gym, and then at the board: 50-50. Only one more point. On the side, he saw Doki, sporting her cheerleading outfit and pom-poms. To his surprise, he was a little nervous. He played the ball

They ran down the court as fast as they could. Nabi passed the ball the Yi-Ho, who eventually passed it back. But the defender fouled him, and he got knocked down…

He lined up at the foul line. He was very nervous. Only 2 more seconds and two shots. He made the first shot. Missed off the back board. He sighed and became even more nervous. But then he heard a familiar voice call out:

"You can do it, Nabi!!!"

It was Doki's voice. He looked out on the side to see her waving at him. All at once, he relaxed and smiled at her. Then he focused on the basket and became all too determined to be nervous.

He shot the ball…and it twirled around the basket a few times…before it went in the net!

Everyone in the gym, including all the cheerleaders, yelled in wild abandon as the score went to 51-50. The school had won the first game of the season. Everyone was surrounding the team, and the team was surrounding Nabi, trying to wrestle him to the ground. Eventually Doki made her way to Nabi and almost tackled him to the ground. They hugged for about 5 minutes straight before they all cheered for him.

Everyone, that is, except for Jessica, who was standing in the back with her hands on her hips…

To be continued…
