A/N: thanks to those who reviewed the last chapter. Like in the last chapter, I'll jump in time, but this time, it's just after the last chapter that the time is, but through the chapter, there'll be jumped in time. I still hope you'll enjoy it and keep for the last few chapters.
It was only a few hours before Rapunzel and Alice were up for their cheer try out. Corona University were well known for high standards when it came to the cheer squad. The girls on the squad were known as the hottest girls on whole campus and were asked out 2 or 3 times a day and many of them dated a sporty guy, but Rapunzel hoped that she would be able to get through the try out and hoped to let Alice get the second and last free spot. They went up and signed themselves up and got their uniforms to perform a routine they'd be given an hour before try out start. Rapunzel were the first out of the eight girls who had signed up for try out.
Rapunzel started to make acrobatic moves with her hands getting her around in perfect circles and grabbed some rings hanging from the ceiling and more challenging acrobatic jumps and the judges looked very impressed and as they went on with the six next, three was already rejected after their poor performances. The last one to perform was Alice. She had done gymnastic on a high level before she started at campus, but it was a while ago, she just hoped she could remember some of those old moves.
She done stunning, every girl seemed to be getting the same routine like it had something to do with the routines for the first game that would be practiced straight after the selection. Rapunzel and Alice had promised each other that if the one of them didn't get to the squad it wouldn't harm their friendship at any possible way even though they were rivalling right now, maybe with some luck they could both get the spots available.
The cheer committee called the girls up.
"First Alice, you made it through, that performance was one of the best I've seen in my 8 years as cheerleader" Alice nodded and smiled with joy and went inside to change to her cheer outfit again.
"Secondly, Britney and Lisa, you are not making it through, I'm sorry" the girls left with clear disappointment spelled in their face. Now there was only Rapunzel and Britannia left for the last spot.
"We can't decide which one of you to take over that performance you made before, they were equally good and we need you to run through one final routine before we decide whom shall get the final spot for the Corona Cheer Squad" They got themselves ready as Britannia was the first one to try and perform a very hard and difficult routine that demanded a lot from you physical. Rapunzel was now performing and was near failing hard when she came close to losing her balance, but she kept on and the girls waited for no less than 20 minutes before they had decided to with girl they'd go with for the squad.
"First, I want to say that it was a very tough decision because you both did a good performance, but the spot goes to you, Rapunzel, congratulations for making the squad"
Rapunzel was overjoyed after practice was done. What they didn't knew was that at the same time as the boys finished their training session, the rumours about them making the squad already had reached most of campus and Maximus as well as Eugene sat back with no idea of what to say. Their girlfriends were going to be suited in small uniforms and cheer for them on the side-line, this was already going to be a good start for the season, Eugene felt he needed to talk to Rapunzel and congratulate her and then afterwards just go on with things as they were.
The next day was the first match of the season and Eugene had been giving no 10 and were told to be the one to set up chances for Maximus who had been receiving no 9 as he and the rest of the team waited for the team of Noldora seemed to be a little later ready than Corona and as the match started, it was very intense, not only between the cheerleaders, but on the field where Eugene and the defensive midfielder from Noldora got into a argument where Eugene shouted for a yellow card and he was booked and the game went a lot back from goal to goal. The coach of Noldora called for time and the judge said 3 minutes and it was still a 0-0. But then Eugene took things in his own hands and got through three players and came free in front of goal and kicked the goal beautiful into the corner and the players stormed him down in cherish and Rapunzel and the other cheerleaders of Corona went crazy as well, but Rapunzel felt an extra heart beat as Eugene ran out and kissed her lips in front of everybody and hit his chest with a fist where his heart sat and he blew a kiss for her as she did the same.
Just afterwards Eugene made sure the victory would end up with Corona who had pressed hard for the goal and this time Maximus came to be the one in the spotlight with a head goal and he jumped out and embraced the coach and looked over at the cheerleaders where he pulled up his shirt to show another one that said, For you my cheerleader and for you my love. Alice felt her heart melt like ice cream on a hot summer day as she saw the text and Maximus got a yellow card, but he and the rest didn't care because he blew off the game shortly afterwards and Corona started great.
Eugene was interviewed with Rapunzel, by his side, after the game.
"How was it to play this game?"
"Hard, they gave us a lot of challenges and we knew they would, but I'd say we deserved the victory and I'm glad I scored so I could show the whole campus that the most beautiful girl in school is taken and one is getting near her as long as I love her" Rapunzel felt the salty tear started to form in her eye as she heard him confess that to the press, the journalist turned to her.
"How do you feel about all this Mrs Rapunzel?"
"I couldn't be happier and I love him as well and let it be a lesson for everyone to stop trying to mess with our relationship" they finished as the coach called them in for a final message where he praised them for winning like a team in a game where the goalkeeper Daniel McQueen saved them twice when it was necessary and the defensive got through a pressure in the start of the second half where Eugene and the midfield took over and Maximus got pressed their defence great and passed it over well to the hard running midfielders.
The next weeks went on with assignments as well as more games where the play of the Coronian team started to improve a lot and Eugene and Maximus were two of the best players with another midfielder called Cracky because he stopped most of the other teams before they set up a chance, his real name was Craig McCall and he was on the study line with society subjects and sports so he knew Maximus' position a lot and it made it much more easy for him to score a lot of goals, he was the one who scored 50 % of all the goals they scored and at the end of the season Corona where in the 1st place with a chance of winning the league where they common ship between audience, cheerleaders and the players had grown incredible strong and they could win if they beat Yolonda University who were in 3rd place and lost 4-2 to Corona when they had visited Yolonda's home field and it was incredible to see how great things could start if they won this just before exams, it would be a fine to motivate the players that they were more than half way through studies and ready to start their careers and it was clear through the warming up that they were ready for this.
The game went on with cheering from Alice and Rapunzel and the rest of the squad got them in front with 2-0 on two goals from Maximus and the things turned equal after 71 minutes and as they went on with the last minutes, Eugene were up for being the player of the day as McQueen kicked out a wonderful free kick from their own half and sent him with the keeper where he was tackled and got a penalty and red card for the keeper and Arrington was the man to kick it like had scored on all his penalties through the season, but he missed it, Eugene was quickly over the ball as the new keeper didn't manage to hold onto the ball and smashed with all his might of feet into the goal and the crowd went crazy as Rapunzel saw him below staff and players while the fans and cheerleaders embraced each other in happiness and Alice embraced Rapunzel as they like many times through the season had been proud of what their boyfriends had done for the Corona University soccer team.
They got ready for getting their medals and receive the trophy as they were stormed by fans first and most likely their girlfriends and Maximus felt passion beyond anything he had tried for a long time, even with Alice, as she kissed him on his lips and he returned it with pleasure and Rapunzel did the same with Eugene before the waited for the announcement of the best player of the season. They turned attention towards the centre of the field as the coach McAllister shouted into the mike.
"I'm proud to present a special, but our tradition says that the team captain is the one to announce the name, so please step forward Steve McQueen" everyone cheered for the captain and as he saw result he nodded to McAllister in agreement of the player.
"I got to say there's many who could win this price, but this player deserves more than anyone, not only because he has played well, but because he had scored while he had made the others better and easier in doing their jobs, congratulations Eugene Fitzherbert!" Everyone cheered for him as he walked up to get the cup that showed Player of the season.
"I'm proud to get this cup, it means a lot since the team got through this and now I can also give another thanks to my beautiful girlfriend, Rapunzel, who also is cheerleader for our team. But also my team mates, especially you, Max and also to his girlfriend, Alice, another cheerleader and our friend Pascal who had made a stunning performance as supporter" Everyone cheered as he got down and kissed Rapunzel while cameras flashed around them and Rapunzel looked at him who said with his smile don't worry. Rapunzel let herself closer to him as they knew that they were about to finish another great year as they were chosen to exam about society.
They went through the exams with different grades, Maximus went through as the only one in class who got A+ and Pascal got the next best of the friends and most of the class with a B + while Rapunzel got B – as well as Eugene and Alice only got a C + for going cold while performing, it was nice to have it finished and it was clear that Maximus took way more serious that most of the class because of this ambitions of being policeman.
It was time for another holiday and then start the last year before their lives would really begin.
Hope you liked it. I feel satisfied with what I created and I can tell you that there'll be 5 chapters more and we'll end at 30 chapters and then I don't know what I'll do exactly with writing. Maybe get a break from it, start a new Tangled-fiction or start in another category, only times will tell. Please review this, it means a lot to me.
