Ultimate Tailgate Challenge

"Hey, guys, I've got some exciting news." Tasha said as she arrived on the island, looking at the rest of her family. "I got us all tickets to the big college football game this weekend at my alma mater. Go, Pioneers! Whoo!" Tasha beamed, doing a small cheer.

"Trust me, guys, it wasn't much better from back here." Adam said from behind Tasha.

"Football? Pass." Donald said.

"You're going." Tasha said.

"Honey, if you wanted a sports guy, you should've married one." Donald argued.

"Excuse me." Tasha said, crossing her arms.

"I mean, please don't leave me. I'll go." Donald corrected.

"I can't believe I'm gonna have a real-life college experience. Ooh, I wanna be like those kids on TV who paint their faces and scream into the camera." Bree said.

"Ooh, me too. Me too!" Jodie beamed as her and Bree jumped up and down.

"Oh, girls, please do not embarrass us. Everyone knows that the proper way to enjoy a sporting event it to clap politely, not hoot and holler like a bafooon." Chase said.

"This is why I can't watch anything with you." Jodie said, receiving a playful glare from the bionic boy.

Perry then ran into the room, holding a football. "Whoo, go, Tech! She's at the ten, the five, touchdown. Vikings!" Perry cheered as she started a frenzied yell.

"You went to Mission Creek Tech?" Donald asked.

"Best 12 years of my life. And I was on the football team." Perry said with a smug smile.

"No way. They let girls play back then?" Bree asked.

"Nope. Had to grow a mustache and say I was Tom from Ohio." Perry explained. She then noticed Tasha's sweatshirt. "Ugh. Pioneers? I knew there was a reason I never liked you. You went to my rival shool." She continued.

"Oh, yeah. State's takin' Tech down." Tasha taunted.

"In your dreams. I just wish I could be there to see it. The game's been sold out for weeks." Perry complained.

"Oh, you should talk to Tash-" Adam said, but was interrupted.

"No, she shouldn't." Donald said and led the boy away.

"Do you have tickets?" Perry asked.

"Uh... no." Tasha answered.

"Good. Because I know, if you did, you'd invite your bestie Terry. Right?" Perry said in a threatening way.

"Did she say bestie or beastie?" Leo asked, leaning over towards the other three superhumans who shrugged.

"You just said you didn't like me." Tasha said.

"I've grown as a person since then! Come here!" Perry shouted and started aggressively hugging Tasha. "Don't fight it. Like me back." Perry said.

"Come on, boys, let's go. I want to get there early so we can tailgate." Tasha said, while Jodie finished painting footballs on Bree's face. Then, both Bree and Jodie squealed in excitement while Donald, Chase and Leo walked into the common area.

"Hey! Who's ready to reluctantly attend a sporting event?" Donald said with faux enthusiasm.

"I know I am." Bob answered.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Bob. I only have enough tickets for our family." Tasha explained to the young boy.

"Oh, great." Bob smiled.
