“Basketball…” Alice mumbled, banding her head down…

Tina and Bette shook their heads and Shane just placed the newspaper on the table.

“And why you think that we’re going to play?” Shane asked…

“Because you’re my friends…” Alice said making puppy dog eyes…”please, please pretty please…”

Bette sighs and shook her head. She scratched her neck and pulled Tina by the hand…

“We have to discuss something…” Bette said dragging Tina out of their earshot…

“T…what about the baby?” Bette whispered…Tina smiled, seeing the worry in Bette’s eyes…It was wonderful and in the same time sad how a woman that had nothing in common with this child is more concerned about it than his own father…

“It’s going to be ok as long as no one’s pushing me…” Tina whispered back…

“And still is too dangerous…” Bette said glancing back at the table.

“I like that…” Tina said with light smile…

“You like what…some unknown people pushing you?” Bette asked sarcastically.

“No…you been so protective…” Tina whispered…”That’s giving me security…”

Bette smiled and they went back to the table…

“Where did you two go?” Alice said…

“Around…listen I’m in…but in one condition…” Bette said…

“Which is…?”

“This is the last of kind “events” you’re dragging us in…”

“Dell…” Alice said

“I’m in too…and without pushing….”Dana said pointing at Alice…

“Same for me…I’m willing to play, but I don’t want someone pushing me…” Tina jumped in…

“Shane?” Alice asked waiting for her friend’s respond. Shane thought for a moment then nods…”Count me in….”

Alice looked to the bar, noticing Kit and Marina still there, discussing something…

“Hey Kit….want to play with us?” Alice yelled.

“Sure…why not…” Kit yelled back clueless about what she just let herself in.

“Cool…” Alice squeals…”I’ll let you know the place and the hour….Oh, and we have to practice, we need outfits….oh I’m so excited…!”

“God have mercy….” Bette whispered….

………………………..

 The Dream team was gathered for his first training…Bette’s back yard was enough spacious for them to practice some pass….

“Why didn’t you warn me?” Kit nudged Bette…

“I thought you knew…you said yes after all…” Bette defends her self…

Then Alice blew the whistle, making Bette frowns and covering her ears.  

“Ok…Bette you’ll be our center forward…”

“Why me…?” Bette winced. The thought of some people pushing and touching her was disgusting the brunet. She was wearing black short, white sneakers and t-shirt with cute teddy bear.
