In reply to Celeste (msg # 60):

Eve nodded agreement with her new mentors comment rising she took Ms. de Luca hand shaking it. I don't anticipate the studio will interfere, especially since my sisters will be overseeing most of the operation each of us will be at most responsible for one third of its running. Once again I'd like to thank you MS de Luca for giving me this opportunity. she smiled glancing out the office window I'm pleased to have an opportunity to look about.

Celeste nodded proudly at the selection and choice made.

Very well, she said.  We'll be seeing you tomorrow then.  Anytime  you need anything, there is quite a bit of options to choose from, whether its something to eat, place to hang out, or just a get together, you  name it we've got it here.  You need anything, here is my number and my co-captain's number, Lu-Ti.  If one of us can't make it, I'm sure the other one can.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 62):

That sounds great Eve replied thoughtfully. It sounds like it going to be a great place to work, rest and hang out. Do you have any clips showing in-game sessions I can use to get up to speed with the routines that the Dragonetts have used. she enquired whilst entering Celeste's and Lu-Ti's phone numbers in her hand held.

Celeste gave a bit of a chuckle at Eve's question.  Yes, we have tapes of our routines and practices, she replied.  Sorry, didn't mean to seem rude with the laugh.  That sounds like something my guy would ask.

She moved from the office to the A/V room where all the videos were stored.  She had the a/v clerk look for the Dragonnettes films and then handed the discs to Eve.  You can stay in here and watch them, take them home with you, or go up to the Dragonettes locker room and watch them there.  We have a sofa, snacks, and basically anything you need there.  If not, we have staff that can get what you want.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 64):

The Dragons / Dragonettes certainly had everything covered, she thought Thank you I'll take a couple and watch them in Dragonettes training room, it'll give me some pointers... noting Celeste's comment about her guy, Eve wondered who would that be; after a considering about asking personal questions, she concluding that it would better to know now, so she could avoid getting embroiled in any Dragonettes romantic associations. Are there any relationships between Dragons and Dragonetts, that may affect the ladies performance, I should make allowances for.she prompted

Well, there are some of us that are dating the players, she said confidently.  Though we've dually noted as a group, players and cheerleaders, that we wouldn't let it affect our job. Once again, we are a team first and foremost, anything outside that box is second.  Lu-Ti is dating Ben.  He's a tight end.  My guy is the wildcat, Adam Bronk.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 66):

Eve nodded gratefully, making a mental note about Adam Bronk and Ben. The sooner I familiarise myself with these routines the easier it will be for me to handle whatever you'll have the Dragonetts practicing tomorrow she commented with a smile and wiggle of the video's

Very well, she said with a nod.  I've got a few things I need to be doing before we head back to our complexes for the day.

She extended her hand out to shake.  We'll be seeing you tomorrow.

She then left Eve and the AV room and clerk to their own devices.  As Eve watched the videos, it was your typical professional cheer team.  A variety of girls, a variety of chants and cheers.  Though some of the routines were common, some often strayed to something unique, however a bit, disarrayed as if they were impromptu.

If Eve does a profile check on Celeste, she'll find that she was all star champ of her high school dance team, attended a couple of ballet schools, but most of all was a gymnastics guru.  She settled graduating college with a Dance degree.

In reply to Celeste (msg # 68):

Sure thing Eve replied taking Celeste's hand and shaking it appreciatively. After her boss left Eve thanked Peter Jonathon, the AV assistant, collected the bundle of videos to she would be reviewing and headed to the practice. Headed towards the Dragonetts practice room Eve thought it would be a good idea to get some background knowledge on the dance skills, strengths and weaknesses of the women she would be working with; starting with Celeste and working her way through the squad.

  Saturday's  walk throughs were as intense as a wlak through could be..Coaches grabbing playerrs  and walking  them over to spots on the field, as if they were little kids...then making them repat the play...10 times .

  ESPN's Cindy Sawyer was roaming the practice, taking   shots  of some of the players, now and then talking to a coach on Camara...the Big news, was Adam's  'point-counterpoint' on Football Weekly, sports show...

Ben played along, smiling all the time. He preferred actual play to walk-throughs, but got on with whatever was requested, and put in a few laps as well.

He also checked that Betty Lorrs and her daughter had received their tickets, and arranged for programmes and jerseys for them.

Ready for game day, Lucas came to the walkthroughs as if it was the game.  He took it just as seriously.  Anything the coaches threw up in his face, he worked ten times the harder on.

>>>>>>>>>> From Practice.

  As Bronk and the others  watch the films, Yuto's  secretary knocks on the door and  steps in.  excuse me?....I have  some requests for Players? Monday is the Normal NFL day off? and  places  try to get players to make an appearance  and such?. She hands Nevers the sheet,..Pleae to contact   Mr. Yuto..if we have people to go here...I know  Mr. Amota would like...if we can..make  people happy?  Yes?

  She  walks out looking at her clip board for her next task.

 Well?  Let's see what we have here?.....he begins to read the requests..

1. Two Players to Visit the New Jacksonville  Community center at 1:00, to kick off a bake sale to help fund some of their programs. Players will be comped by the team.

2. 1 Player  needed at the New Jacksonville Lawn and Garden Center at the Mall, where they are starting a FAll tractor sale..Player will be given 100.00 and free use of any of the tools  they have there, for  6 months request is for 1:00

3. 1 player to got to Mike's Gym, in Old  Jacksonville, to kick off a weight training after school program for kids..Player will be given 100.00 and a 1 year free membership... request is for  4:00

 well?  You guys  are here?..any of you want these?

Bronk puts up his hand,I'll go to the Community center...

Ben listened then raised a hand.

"May I take Mike's Gym, please? I enjoy working with youngsters..."

He'd done some volunteer work with local high schools when at Oklahoma, and enjoyed it so much that he was considering training to coach at that level after his playing career was over. Which could be tomorrow if a nasty accident laid him low!

I have all the gym and stuff here I need, he said.  I'll take the lawn and garden.  Who knows, I might make use of tools they have to fix my bike.

He gave a shrug and took the information he needed on how to get there.

  Nevers nodded, and Looked at Ben, ..you want the Gym? Or should i see if i can con any of the Guys in the trainer's  room to go?... He looked up at the clock in the Film Room,..You boys better get going then..you have an Hour and  half...stop by the Equipment Guy, tell him to give you Game jerseys that aren't cut for pads...you know, the  ones  we use  for Pictures...Thanks...people will like this...

  Adam Nodded and  finished his Coffee, throwing the  trash in the  bin, and added  the pastries he bought to the Doughnut pile..Ok..Jarrod?  Lets  go...you can ride with me.. as he  turned to go he gave  Ben and Lucas  a whack on the shoulders,..I'm Comin' back  here  about  8:00 tonight, if any one wants to watch more Movies....

 Nevers  shook his head,.get outta here....  when  they left he looked at Ben,..we might have to put a lock on the door to keep him out!...His old coach at Mellon said he was a film Junkie....

  Jarrod-Bronk to Endorsements....

Looks like those years of mowing yards have finally paid off, he said.  See you guys later.

Knowing he should work out, but that sometimes you had to step outside your box to make ends meet never hurt him.  Grabbing up his jersey from the equipment room and giving a quick hello to the guys there, he headed out across the complex parking lot and towards his bike parked in front of the apartment.

He'd look on his phone for directions as he started up his bike and headed towards the Lawn and Mowing center.  His dad would probably be laughing at the irony of it all if he were around.


>>Endorsements>>

Ben got up and stretched. He grinned at Nevers.

"Yes, Coach. I know what you mean. Last night he fell asleep in the lounge in the townhouse watching game films. Just as well we both like watching them."

He headed off to sort out a jersey for his trip out to Mike's Gym. He tried to cajole some t-shirts as well to give out to the kids.

Having stayed up a good portion of the night taking care of his other job adventure, he slept in without realizing it.  Between the excitement of the game and his online SEO business that he conducted the night before, he thinks having seen the sun rise before he perched himself on the couch in the apartment.

Having now gotten a couple of calls about endorsements that were from early in the morning, his voicemail beeps reminding him that he had missed calls was the only thing that actually woke him.

Getting up, he quickly showered off and would get a better shower later.  Made no sense to bathe when you were going to get hot and sweaty.  Once dressed he headed to the complex to see what was going on and possibly hit the gym.

Making his way back to the complex, Lucas headed straight for the lockerroom where he changed and headed straight for the stadium where he'd make his laps and then do various foot works out on the field.

  Adam Dropped  JArrod , drove down the block  and pulled in front of his Townhouse,  grabbing  stuff from  the hatch, and his Goodies, Adam jogged up the stairs and into the  house.

  HOWDY!...got some Goodies  from the bake  sale......  he  went into the kitchen, Cut a  slice of pie  and warmed  a pepperoni roll in the microwave, then turned on the  TV, slipped in a  Vid, and began to watch...

  Adam ( Ben and Jarrod too?) headed to the film room..it was closing in  on 8:00. The guards  checked them at the main gate. The stadium was dark, only a few lights on...Lights  could be seen way in the back of the owner's boxes, most likely , coming from down the hall , where Yuto's office was.

 Adam stopped  at the Commisary and grabbed   a large coffee and loaded it with sugar and Milk, and sorted out  a dozen doughnuts.


 reaching the Film room, Adam frowned to see it empty. He toched the   Machines and they were cold,...no one's  used these for hours....I guess folks thought..'day off'..meant , "forget football?"

 Opening his  bag, taking out  Binders  of discs  and a few beaten up notebooks..gonna  study the LBs now...see what kinda  drops they take, then we'll see what coverages  the   whole back field  works out...

  There was some Noise  in the hall, Duke  came in with  a Dragon Bugrer meal and  Coffee.well? You guys  just come in?...had to wait until the kids were asleep..onlu going to stay until 12:00...

 Adam  grinned, wait until you see their safeties!

Ben turns up about 8.30 having stopped to grab a burger on the way back from Mike's Gym. He's still wearing the Dragons 'display' shirt and black jeans.

"Hi Adam. Did you enjoy your bakesale?"

  Adam Grins,..there is a Half a pie  and some Pepperoini rolls left in the kitchen!

  Adam keeps stopping the   machinbe when he sees something then winds it back, starting again. he uses the coaches  Highlight pen to show  the others what he sees,..Number 56... Gordie Ham ...Left Outside Linebacker...they Blitz him 90% of the time on third and long..look at his right  foot..when he is going to blitz..it is set back, like he thinks he's a sprinter...
