The following morning came and Dahlia wakes from her slumber, she smiles to herself as she realizes that the previous night had not been a dream. Not only did Gerry actually keep his promise, it seems that Julius and the other team members seemed to finally be getting along just fine. The next best thing was that she no longer needed to run workouts with Sheryl. She swore that girl could have dang well been Coach Boone's protege with the amount of pleasure she had while ordering her around.

She clumsily hops out of her room while trying to tug on her left shoe and was surprised to hear someone chuckling when she almost loses her balance. She quickly glances up in slight alarm to find someone leaning out in the hall, they seem to be waiting for her.

Julius couldn't help but laugh at the girl who was tripping over herself as she tried to rush and get to the field. She has on her oversized Jersey, as well as a black pair of fitted long pants to go along with it. Her hair is tied on the top of her head in a bun, but strands were falling loose as she hops around to keep her balance.

"Mornin' Julius," she greets cheerfully as she stands up and brushes her fringe out of her eyes. She was curious as to why he was waiting for her.

"Hey," He greets back, pushing himself off of the wall to come closer to her. "Were you the one to talk to Bertier?" He asks casually as he stares at the tiny girl in front of him. He never really noticed how small she was until he stood right next to her.

"What?" She asks a little surprised and taken back.

"Are you the one who talked some sense into him?" Julius patiently asks again. If it weren't for the smile on his face she would have thought he was angry with her. That smile though, it was almost as if he already knew the answer. Dahlia instantly knows what he's talking about and can't help the huge grin that grows on her face.

"He would have figured it out eventually," she confesses before laughing. Julius chuckles as well before reaching out and pulling the lovable girl in for a hug. This shocks Dahlia for an instant, but she quickly hugs him back as well. She was never one to deny a good hug.

"Well, either way," he says as they pull away from each other, "Thanks for treating us no differently than any other person on the team. I just want you to know that if you ever need anything, I've got your back," he says before patting her messy bun and walking out towards the field. "You're family now!" He calls back at her. Dahlia stands there stunned and a bit slack-jawed. She never thought Julius would be this friendly, but she has to admit she likes this side of him. Plus, she was now honorary family, she happily thinks as she smiles merrily to herself.

"Wait up!" She calls out to a laughing figure that she could now consider not only a friend, but a brother as well.

The dark haired beauty smiles to herself as she watches, what appears to be a completely new team, practice. Both races were getting along great. She can hear everyone shouting at each other, but unlike before it was to get each other pumped rather than fighting words, and Sheryl seems to be getting more pumped by the minute.

"I'm glad they're getting along. Maybe now they'll play better, right Black?" Sheryl asks turning to stare at her. Dahlia looks down and smiles before nodding.

"It's about time too! I'm tired of wasting precious film on them!" She tells Sheryl, as she dramatically places her wrist to her forehead in despair. They were both silent for a bit before they both break out in laughter at Dahlia's display.

"Hey... Who's that?" Sheryl asks glancing behind Dahlia. Curious, Dahlia turns around and catches sight of a beautiful red car driving their way. She shrugs to herself, as she tries to figure out who on Earth could be in the car. She glances towards the boys and find that even they caught sight of the beauty. Gerry especially.
