“Hello ladies” Shane got up and smiled at the squad as the pack rolled by

“What the fuck Shane!” Alice glared at her “You pick a fine time” she said through gritted teeth to Shane

“Gotta go” Shane apologized by blowing a kiss and sprinted after the pack “I’ll be back” she looked back at the giddy group of women

“Hels!” Alice called out “behind you!” she warned as she saw Trailblazer approach the heiress from behind

“What?” Helena glanced back at jammer then at Alice before turning forward “I’m supposed to block her?” she chuckled.  “Absolutely not!” the reminded Alice “You’re blocker” then added “so block!”

“Helena!” Alice was afraid to go after the jammer for fear of the ‘Holy-Shit Trinity’ crushing her to death “You’re the last line of defense!”

“Whaaaaaaaaaa” Helena yelled as she felt someone bump hard and good.  The padded rail she hit front flipped her into the Mojitos booth.  Dana and Bette winced while Angie, sitting on Bette’s shoulders, excitedly clapped her hands at the mayhem.

The coach for the Mojitos helped Helena up and checked to see if she was coherent enough to continue.  After getting her bearing she watched a smiling Trailblazer skate away, Helena angrily got back into the arena wanting revenge.

A whistle bringing the first round to an end, and the pack went back to the starting line to start the second round.  Alice looked at Kit mouthing for the score.  Kit frowned and shook her head as Papi slid over to stand shoulder to shoulder with Kit, holding up a blank score book and a smile in Alice’s line of sight.

The second round whistles blew.  It was the same as the first round.  The Diva blockers being unnecessarily shouldered and hipped all over the place, while Jenny coward behind.  Helena started to develop a sense for the game, especially how their opponents played.  She was waiting for the opportunity to get even with the jammer, Trailblazer.  Shane, Alice and Tina got in a few hits on the Trailblazer.  The trio learned that they can double or triple team each blockers, being disadvantaged in size to battle one on one.  All they needed to do catch up in points, but that wasn’t happening with Jenny at the helm.  The second round ended and the fifteen minute half time began.
