Act 7 : Tournament

"Have you heard?" Sam looked up seeing Carly with a brilliant smile. "Heard what?"

"You know, the tennis tournament. I think you have a big shot at winning it." Sam blushed, she of course is good at tennis. Learned it from Freddie, they are at the same level now , so this could be exiting.

"I've already entered. You didn't think I would miss a tennis tournament."Carly grinned.

"Of course not. They've the match ups ready."

"Hey! Freddie are you going to play in the tournament to?" Freddie smiled, looking at Carly and Sam.

"Of course I'm going to play. Have to defend my title." Sam smirked. Last year he defeated her in the final with rather big numbers. This year will be different that's for sure. I will beat him.

"Let's see, Carly's first match is against a guy called Jonah. Sam has to face off against Germy. And I'll play versus Gibby. First two of the group will continue to the semi-finals. You won't be seeing me, I'm in the other group, consider yourself lucky now both of you can go to the finals." Sam and Carly looked at each other. They already had enough of Freddie's swank and that's something he rarely does.

"Will the first contestants report to their designated courts, Fredward and Gibby court 1. Samantha and Jeremy court 2. Valerie and Pete court 3. Carly and Jonah court 4. Reuben and Nevel court 5 and at court 6 Shane versus Rodney. We play best of one for the group rounds and best of five for the finals. Thank you for your attention." The three of them wished each other good luck. Well Sam wished Freddie a broken knee and Freddie on his turn said he hoped Sam was good at evading balls for hitting them would be impossible.

Less than 10 minutes later. "We got two winners, court 1 and 2. Fredward defeated Gibby with 6-0. Samantha defeated Jeremy with 4-0 as he had to give up because of a cold." Freddie walked away from the court towards Sam.

"Well done." She whispered quickly kissing him when no one was looking.

"You too he whispered back." Freddie quickly pushed Sam away as Carly walked towards them.

"We all had an easy win this round, apparently."Carly laughed as she hugged Sam to congratulate her.

"What was your score then Carly?" Freddie wondered. He defeated Jonah in the semi-finals last year. He won that one with 6-4, 6-4, 7-6 . His hardest match in that tournament. Had Carly really beaten him big time, for that would make this a very interesting tournament.

"I won 6-1, how come?"

"Well I beat him in semi's last year with 6-4, 6-4, 7-6 so I think this tournament actually gets exiting this year. Last year I won the final with 6-0, 6-1, 6-0. This time I might even drop a set in the whole tournament." Carly and Sam wisely ignored his swank.

"And now the last match in the first round has been played. Winners are Nevel, Valerie, Fredward in group one and Samantha, Carly and Rodney in group two. Ready for round two. Fredward versus Valerie, court 1. Samantha versus Jonah, court 2. Gibby versus Rueben, court 3. Jeremy versus Shane, Jeremy has given up. Pete versus Nevel, court 4 and at court 5 Carly versus Rodney. Good luck." A loud sharp tone was filling the area. "Damn it those stupid microphones, Aargh fire. Put it out!"

"Carly, is Spencer doing the voiceover thingy?" Sam laughed at the beaten look at Carly's face.

"How does he get everything on fire?"Carly shook her head and went to the court she was supposed to play on.

"Hey Freddie! Are you here to get beaten by a girl?" Valerie walked on the court, her beautiful brown hair in the sun.

"You're not going to beat me. Didn't I defeated you last year. Yeah I remember you didn't even score one point in that match." Freddie smirked. She's not going to beat me.

"Players ready. Valerie has first serve. Start the match." The referee gave both players a nod.

Valerie threw the ball up. "I will defeat you." She yelled as she hit the ball with amazing didn't saw such a good ball coming and totally missed it.

"Looks like I made a point already, still think you are going to beat me?"

"Yeah I will beat you. Though I admit you got better." Valerie threw the ball up again. She hit it even harder than the first, but Freddie now expecting a good serve easily returned the ball. He watched up to see where to run to next. She's at the net already, this is not good.

She hit the ball with great force. The ball was out of Freddie's reach. He is 30-0 behind now. "Well, well, I think you have gotten weaker Freddie. You're going to lose."Freddie was now ignoring her remarks. She served again, this time Freddie knew what her plan was and lobbed the ball over her. She ran backwards fast just making it in time to hit the ball back. The ball went to high so Freddie could smash it right at Valerie's body. She could barely evade being hit.

"Yeah I'm going to beat you Valerie." Freddie didn't held back anymore as he did against Gibby. Valerie served this time with a side spin added to the ball so the ball would bounce away from Freddie. Freddie wasn't going to be fooled again. He returned the ball with his specialty, low smashes. He could hit the ball below the net and still it would seem as a smash to the opponent.

Valerie wasn't holding back anymore. She returned the low smash using a whip shot. This shot made the ball have a heavy topspin, but also lifted it so it would go over the net. They kept on hitting back and forth for at least 2 minutes. Valerie tried to hit back another low smash, but this time Freddie added sidespin. She hit the ball on the iron of her racket making it drop dead on her side of the field.

"30 all. I'm back in this game Valerie, now let me see how you are going to beat me." It was an amazing match. Many impossible returns and great rallies. They were going pretty equally. But in the end Freddie was the better player as he defeated her with 6-3.

"I won, but this was a harder match than I anticipated, you've greatly improved Valerie." Freddie walked to the net to shake hands with Valerie.

"You still beat me, but next year you're going down Freddie. Thanks for the compliment though." She shook his hand with gratitude.

"The fire is under control. The winners of the second round matches are in group one Fredward, Rueben and Nevel. In group one Nevel leads with 12-0 over Freddie with 12-3, third there is Valerie with 9-6, forth is Rueben with 7-12, fifth is Gibby with 6-13 and last but not least is Pete with 0-12. In group two is, because of drop out Jeremy who's matches are already added to the score, the leader Carly with 18-1, second is Sam with 12-1, third is Shane with 11-7, forth is Rodney with 13-11 and fifth is Jonah with a score of 8-12. Last is Jeremy with 0-30 because of his drop out. We are having a short break round three starts in 15 minutes. Oh damn the microphone is on fire again. Put it out! Fast!"

Carly, Sam and Freddie laughed over Spencer putting something on fire yet again. "Does he know we can hear him?"Freddie asked almost choking in the words.

"Probably not Dork!" The three walked inside the cafeteria.

"We're all in the top now guys, we meet in the finals." Carly lifted her glass. Sam and Freddie mimicked her.

"It's not entirely true Carly, your next match is versus Sam. Good luck Carly, beat her please. Sam just lose to Carly." Sam and Carly looked at each other, their battle will start today.
