“Remember the pack moves counterclockwise” they heard Jenny add from the bench.  Alice glared at her while Shane Helena, Tina and Bette with closed eyes shook their heads.  Dana glanced through the corner of her eye at the source of the information.

“Thank you Jenny, we’ll try to include that in the game plan” Dana said drily. “Do your best and have fun” she smiled at her team “don’t kill yourselves over this, we still need to kill Al for getting us into this” the team laughed while Alice pretended to be hurt “and kiss the baby for luck” she moved her body around the semicircle as they all took turns kissing Angie.  Extra time was given to the baby’s mommas.

Everyone was called back to the arena to start the second half.  The girls took their places and waited for the whistle.

“I just love the assorted flavors on this team” Sandman openly checked Bette out “Mm-mm-mm” the blocker taunted while cracking her knuckles.

“Aren’t you supposed to be taking care of our baby, baby?” Whiplash joined her as Bette successfully ignored the bait.

“Quiet type huh?” Sandman laughed

“Oh yeah, she’s a screaming wildcat” Whiplash snickered

The whistle blew and the pack moved forward.  Bette positioned herself at the back of the pack while Alice stayed behind Shane on the outside.  The double whistle sounded and Tina took off before Trailblazer realized the speed she was dealing with.  Dana was right about the slow poke, and Tina knew she could get a couple of grand slams off of her.  She booked it to the front of the pack easily taking lead.  The Mojitos had expected to see their own and were shocked when the blonde past them. Tina approached the pack and moved behind Bette.  Sandman dodged Alice and Shane, who were trying to deflect the blocker, in pursuit of the blonde jammer.  She didn’t expect the bump from her left side or the force that came with it.  Bette almost shoulder tackled the woman outside of the arena.

“Yes!” Bette did a fist pumped as she saw Tina get the point “Now, we’re in the game” she smiled.  The girls were definitely in the zone; with Tina scoring point after point and the double team effort in their blocking and the Mojitos didn’t see it coming.  The derby queens who had laid back and relaxed throughout the first part of the game stepped it up as Papi held up her score card.  Within the last few jam sessions, the Diva’s had caught up with them in points.
