Mac woke up earlier than usual, and set up his alarm to make sure of this to happen. Mac got ready for the school day, and did his morning routine and then tip toed down the stairs. Mac made sure to get ice water from the freezer and crept back up the stairs and into AJ's room and hit the snooze on the alarm before it could go off. As Mac looked over his sleeping sister he grinned, now he could get back at her for taking his Apple Pie. He slowly pulled off her blanket and poured the ice cold water all over his sleeping sister. AJ immediately shot up and shivered as she glared at Mac, before she could yell Mac covered her mouth.
"This is what ya'll get for taking my pie," Mac stated plainly for her.
She looked away and was going to say something before motioning Mac to leave. Mac only smiled and left, closing the door behind him. Mac made his way down the stairs and stopped at the calender. Today was Friday, they had already been in school for a week. Mac shook this off and started to work on breakfast again, this time just making a simple bowl of cereal. As he was eating AJ came down the stairs, her hair was still wet. Mac's grin seemed to grow from seeing this, while AJ seemed to not enjoy it as much. As Mac ate his breakfast he could see his sister was making the lunch today, after she had finished she sat down and poured her own bowl of Cereal. After we had finished she handed me my lunch and walked off to the truck, I looked at it and then left for the Truck as well.
As they made there way to school, Mac couldn't help but remember what Caramel had said the night before about joining the Football Team. Mac had never really thought of joining any teams before, but he did want to hear Caramel out on this at least. They stopped at the same Crosswalk and then continued on there way. AJ made sure Mac pulled into the same parking place, the one near her friends. Mac would avoid the argument and would park there, Mac would then leave so she and her friends could talk. As Mac entered the school he saw Whooves entering the lunchroom, Mac followed and met up with him, they then sat at one of the booths to talk.
"So Whooves, ya'll know much bout what Caramel said," Mac said, breaking the awkward silence.
"Don't know to be honest, but knowing Caramel it should be a load of fun," Whooves stated sarcastically.
They talked like this for a while but Caramel seemed to never show up. The bell soon rang and they went on there way, not knowing what Caramel had planned for them.
As the Lunch bell rang Mac made his way to lunch and sat at the usual table, and to his surprise Mac saw Caramel sitting there next to Whooves. As Mac unpacked his lunch, he carefully inspected it. Mac then grinned as he saw the sandwich, without even unpacking it he made his way over to his sister's table. Mac then went over to Rainbow Dash.
"I was wondering if yall were interested in havin this here sandwich," Mac asked as he looked at his sister.
"Thanks man," Rainbow replied as she took the sandwich and unwrapped it.
"Dash don't," Applejack started to object to this, but she was to late. As Mac walked away, Dash's face seemed to change colors and then she downed her Water, along with anything she could get her hands on. Mac sat down and then looked at Caramel, who seemed to be laughing at what just happened.
"So Caramel, ya'll care to explain what you meant on the phone," Mac asked, snapping Caramel out of his laughing fit.
"Yes, I'm also interested about it to," Whooves said, agreeing with Mac.
Caramel took a deep breath before starting, "Well from what I've seen and from book and movies, I've found a way to our problem, like the Football Team. For example most cheerleaders tend to date someone on the Football team. As well as improving our social lives. I'm talking about parties, and being remembered, plus all the Women who want to date a Football Player, and think of the scholarships," Caramel explained as he looked at us, a smile on his face. Whooves thought about it and especially about Ditzy Doo.
"Ok, i guess I'm in," Whooves said.
They now both looked at Mac. Mac thought about it, and then he thought of the Scholarships, then his Family wouldn't have to pay for his college.
"Eeeyup," Mac said, showing his friends he was in.
Caramel smiled at this, "Good, cause I already signed us up, and we meet after school so the Coach can look us over," Caramel said, and then left before we could talk.
"Looks like we would be part of his plan even if we had said no," Whooves stated.
"Eeeyup," Mac replied as the bell rang, meaning the end of lunch.
Mac had informed his sister that he wouldn't be able to give her a ride home, AJ only sighed at this and decided to ride home with Pinkie Pie. Apparently there were a lot of students staying after for various clubs, one of which was Rainbow. Mac then left to meet up with Caramel and Whooves in the Gym.They waved him over as they saw many students come in. Then there would be a coach to call away some of the student that signed up for that team. Mac waited for his name to be called, along with Caramel and Whooves. As Mac was waiting he felt someone to his side punch his shoulder. Mac looked over, expecting to see Caramel, but instead he saw it was Rainbow Dash.
"That's for the sandwich," Dash said as she looked at Mac. It took him a moment to realize what she said and he only laughed at this a little, getting him another punch on the shoulder.
"It's not funny," Dash said playfully.
"Not my fault you fell for it," Mac replied. They talked a little until they were called away to there own teams, Dash to Soccer, and Mac to Football.
As Mac went to were he was told, he was joined by Caramel and Whooves. They then stood in a line as the Coach walked out.
"Listen up here, My name is Thad Castle, and I will be your coach this season, and I will only be taking the best of you, since today is getting late, I want all of you to run ten laps around the field, the fist 60 back will be hear on Monday to train, where only 45 of those 60 will make it so start running," Coach yelled. After that we all began to run our 10 laps. Mac was doing fine, keeping a steady pace, Whooves was having trouble at first but seemed to keep his own pace, Caramel however was struggling, but when he noticed some of the Cheerleaders were watching, he got a sudden burst of energy and began to run as fast as he could.
The laps had ended as quickly as they began, most the students who hadn't made the cut left disappointed, luckily Mac,Whooves, and Caramel had managed to make the cut.
"Ok now those of you who made it, good job, and I will be looking forward to getting rid of the rest of you come the next week," Coach said before he left.
Mac made his way to his truck, after saying goodbye to his friends, agreeing to meet up over the weekend and train. As he approached his truck he saw Rainbow, leaning up against her Motorcycle as she drank from her water bottle. She stopped as she saw Mac approach and went over to him.
"So how did you do," She asked as she look at him.
"Well I made it, what about you," Mac replied.
"Well of course I made it," Dash replied as Mac chuckled at this.
"You seem sure of yourself, you wont know till Monday," Mac said as Dash glared at him.
"Care to make a wager," Dash said as she looked at him.
"Depends what it is," Mac said as he looked at Rainbow.
"You gotta sit at our table and hang out with us at the beginning of school for a week," Dash said trying to keep a straight face.
"Deal," Mac said, and after he shook on it Dash began to laugh.
"Whats so funny," Mac asked as he looked at Dash.
"Trust me, you'll see how bad it is after one day," Dash replied before getting on her Motorcycle and speeding off. Mac thought about this as he stepped into his Truck and began on his way home.
