"Hey baby girl." Rue said walking up to her horse, Rose's, stall. The black leopard appy barely acknowledged her as she continued eating her hay. She pulled her out to get ready for practice. Their first competition of the year was coming up and they needed to be ready.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Xandra swung her bat prepping for the ball about to come her way. Behind her she could hear the distant sounds of the cheerleaders and football players practicing on their own field. She didn't like to admit it but she was kinda jealous their sports got more attention, she hoped the softball team would at least have a nicely packed set of bleacher for their first game.<br/><br/>She swung hitting the ball dead on sending it flying. She made it second base before stopping. The practice game was nice, unserious but challenging. She spotted a few people in the bleachers including Dedric, reading a large text book waving a small sports flag saying "Softball" in their team colors. It was the most supportive he could be sports wise.
