Ren's POV
The competition was in the final 3 rounds. The top 3 boys were going first, Haven ended up top for his age group. Annabelle ended up placing first for her age group and i just barely made it for mine. I watched Haven as he flipped and i saw one of the other boys come out out of the tunnel to flip but he fell off and crashed into the water. "AND GEORGE IS OUT, NOW IT'S DOWN TO HAVEN AND XAVIER!" Xavier caught a giant wave and went into it's tunnel, haven landed a few more flips as the other guy came out of the tunnel. Haven came down the wave quite close to xavier and they rode into shore together. "THIS IS A TOUGH CHOICE LET'S TURN TO THE JUDGES TO SEE WHAT THEIR DESCION IS, OKAY THEY ARE STILL TALKING, YUP STILL TALKING, THEY SEEM QUITE FOCUSED. WHO IS GOING TO WIN, WHO IS GOING TO GO INTO THE CHAMPION ROUND. COME ON GUYS YOU ARE TAKING FOREVER, CAN YOU HURRY UP? OKAY THEY ARE IGNORING ME, THAT WORKS TOO. SO HOW MUCH LONGER UNTILL THEY FIGURE OUT WHO IS GOING TO WIN. YOU KNOW I ALWAYS WANTED TO JUDGE, BUT THEY SAID I WAS HORRID AT IT SO I BECAME THE ANNOUNCER GUY. WELL I GUESS WE JUST HAVE TO, OH! HERE WE GO GUYS, LETS SEE WHO THE WINNER IS. IN THRID PLACE IS GEORGE AND THE WINNER IS, DRUMROLL PLEASE. HAVEN!!! CONGRATULAIONS YOU WILL BE GOING TO THE FINAL!" The guy finally stopped talking and i saw haven grinning big on the winners podium. I got up and rushed over to the beach plugging in my headphones. This time i put on Back in black by AC/DC, i got into my zone and dived into the waves. I paddled out and saw the perfect wave forming so i waited to grab that. If i won this i would be going up against haven, i wonder how well i would do in that round. I got up on the wave and did a series of flips that i timed to be in tune to the music. I had a few of these songs and i knew exactly which one i would use if i made it to the next round. I rode into shore and ignored the excitment untill someone pulled out my headphones "THAT WAS AMAZING REN COME ON UP HERE PLEASE!" I yawned but went over there anyways an eyebrow raised. "REN, HOW DID YOU DO THAT?" i shrugged "i put it in time to the music" "WOULD YOU MIND TELLING US WHAT YOU WERE LISTENING TOO?" I looked at him incredously "hmm, nope!" he chuckled "ALRIGHT, WELL WHY DON'T YOU GO GRAB YOUR GOLD MEDAL AND GET READY TO FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE!" I recieved my medal and was pronounced ' female surfer of the year'. apparently i am going to be in a magazine and have a story written about me. I guess it would be cool but i don't really care too much. i was grabbed gently and pulled behind a wall "Hey girly you ready to face off?" i looked at haven and nodded "are you using a routine?" he shrugged "I might use what i used in this months FMSF competition, you?" "I am doing my american idiot routine." his eyes widened "Your going all out arent you, well i wish you the best of luck and i think you might be swiping the gold this year." i rolled my eyes "Please you are really good, and i know you will be getting it" "HAS ANYONE SEEN OUR TWO CHAMPIONS, IF YOU ARE HIDING PLEASE COME OUT WE WANT TO SEE OUR TWO CHAMPIONS FACE OFF!" we sighed and shook our heads "Good luck ren i know you will do really well, i promise you that you will do well. " I smiled "Good luck to you too." We headed out and everyones eyes were trailed on us, my neck, ears, and cheeks started to burn up. "WELL THERE THEY ARE, MAYBE THEY WERE SMOOCHING BEFORE" "WE WERE NOT SMOOCHING MR. ANNOUNCER DUDE! NOW PLEASE BE QUIET AND I REQUEST EVERYONE ELSE TO BE SILENT WHILE WE ARE OUT ON THE WAVES, WE DO NEED OUR FOCUS!" i called up to him through a random microphone. It became dead silent and i plugged in American Idiot by green day. We nodded slightly to eachother before diving in. I watched him for a moment as he hit up a wave and i grabbed it's tunnel. I came out and he flipped over me just like at the surf fest. We were used to do crazy tricks like this with each other. I grabbed the tail of his board and trailed him "WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT! REN IS GRABBING THE TAIL END OF HAVENS BOARD!" he turned around and smiled at me, we switched boards and rode up the wave to then have me flip over him as he was doing a flip. I nodded slightly and he winked. We rode down the back of the wave and picked up the next one. I went into the tunnel and he went on top, in a few moments i crashed through and flipped to land on top and he went under expertly going into the tunnel, i flipped a couple more times and he came out of the tunnel and flipped landing near me. We intertwined our fingers and rode into shore with our hands in the air. "WOW, THAT WAS AMAZING I DON'T THINK I HAVE SEEN SOMETHING THAT IMPRESSIVE IN A VERY LONG TIME, SO JUDGES WHO WILL IT BE?" "well dave, they worked together and impressed us all, what do think about giving two gold medals?" "TWO CHAMPIONS! WHY THAT IS UNHEARD OF, BUT WOULD TOTALLY ROCK! WHAT DOES THE CROWD THINK" they hollered and cheered, some kid even whipped his shirt off. "I THINK THAT IS A YES GUYS, CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER WE HAVE CO-CHAMPIONS!" i found it funny how we actually planned this whole thing and practiced it over and over. You see the group wanted me to win something to continue my dad's legacy, and we all knew that Haven had a rivalry he had to finish. So we decided to have us practice a routine in case we got to the championship. I guess that plan worked out quite well.
