It was the very first game and the adrenalin was running on high. The air was cool and there was an occasional mist but the sun still tried to shine through. Some of the guys arrived with their wives and kids as they looked about the new and unfamiliar surroundings. This wasn't their turf, but still they took to it like fish to water. Talking wildly, they entered the changing rooms, of course aware that Minnie at any time could come rushing in. Little did they know she had the evidence tucked neatly into her pocket for a quick show.
Alice arrived on the scenes dressed to the nines in her tight black clothing. She had all ready decided it was time to start trying to get the attention of His Royal Nibbs. Minnie was not going to get one up on her. She looked wildly around looking for him but he hadn't arrived. He hadn't made his glorious entrance so she went to the sidelines to wait glaring at Minnie who was showing off the pictures. "That Bitch has got to go," she muttered under her breath. Minnie bounced up to her to show them off as well, and Alice did her best to hide her contempt. "Minnie, you really shouldn't be showing those around." "Why?" "Well, they may not like it." "Come on Alice, have a bit of fun," and with that Minnie moved on to root for the guys.
The game began and the crowd roared and cheered for their respective sides. Then before they knew it, the ball had gone in. One down! They'd only just started. Then two! And upon that arrived His Royal Nibbs to save the day. Alice saw her chance. As he moved towards the playing field, she quickly got into the way and copped a quick feel of his arm, getting his attention. "We're not doing so well. We're not winning." "Well we have to give them a bit of time to see who the good players are," he responded. She gave him an alluring smile, "Let's hook up later to chat about the game." "Sounds a plan," and with a wave of his arm, he had a player removed so he could play. "YES!" she thought, "YES!" And she took her position amongst the others to appear enthusiastic.
The second half had begun. "It wasn't too bad," Alice thought. "We're only two down. Maybe we'll make a comeback. We certainly can't lose our first game." As the third goal went in, there was a shout from the field. "Someone get the first aid kit over here!" Everyone stood in awe, but the brave lad got up and was helped off the field. He sat on the concrete sidelines and in his pain, managed to cheer for the team. He refused to be taken to the hospital. He wanted to see his new friends play. Some standing around the sidelines went to sit with him and cheer along and Minnie did was she could to make him comfortable. Alice didn't care much for the "maternal" touch so she avoided as much as possible the injured player other than going over to ask a quick "are you all right" only to head back to watching her target play on the field. When the fourth goal hit the back of the net, she glared at the co- manager on the sidelines. She decided it wasn't the right time to say something. First she had to fortify her position within the management but she couldn't help thinking to herself, "Why is that blundering idiot still on the field. He's totally incompetent and why won't that man take him off. He's played enough all ready and done enough damage. Why the F**k do we have to rotate them anyway." She took a deep breath.
By the time the game was over, they were five down and had only managed to put one into the net. His Royal Nibbs was quite upset with the shortcomings of rotating the team too but hoped it was just an off game. He was downright embarrassed but didn't want to show it. How could he lose to this team of all teams. The next game would prove to be changes coming if it didn't get better.
As the drizzle turned to rain, the guys went to change quickly, deciding not to shower but to head to the local watering hole. When they arrived at the quaint place resembling something more like a bootleggers, they were still as enthusiastic as they were at the beginning of the day. But there were two noticeable absences. His Royal Nibbs and Alice had decided to pass.
