Pandora steps out of the school shower, clearly wet with a towel around her body and one around her head. She takes the one around her head off and starts drying out her hair with it as she makes her way to her locker in the girl's changing room. What she doesn't see until she's finished is the fact that her locker is open and the contents are all over the bench and floor in front of it. She stops as soon as she does.

"What the...?" starts Pandora, looking around for some idea of who could've done it, then it dawns on her, "Okay, okay, I get it. Hazing the new girl right?"

"It's not hazing. It's a message." says Kat as she appears around the corner looking very pleased with herself.

"A message?" Pandora asks.

"You're not welcome here. We want you out." insists Kat.

Pandora looks at her with an annoyed yet questioning look, "You couldn't have just said that?"

"I figured it would make a better point if I just showed you." Kat says just as several other members of the team come out from wherever they are and stand behind or next to her.

"I'm getting that impression." Pandora says with a bit of a playful tone.

"Might as well leave while you can." responds Kat, clearly not taking the bait.

Pandora reaches down and grabs one of her shirts, putting it on, "Look, I'm here because I'm good..."

"You're here because Sarah thinks you're good. The rest of us aren't convinced, and most of us have the bruises to prove why." Kat reveals a bruise on her arm as she talks about it.

Other team members do the same with a not so happy look on their faces.

"Hey, at least I have the excuse of being new. What's yours?" suggests Pandora as she grabs a pair of pants and puts them on.

"What?" asks Kat, unsure of where that came from.

"Maybe Sarah's right, you're not as good as you think, which is why the team keeps losing when you cheer for them." says Pandora.

"And maybe you don't know what you're talking about, daddy's girl." Dani interjects.

"All I'm saying is, I wouldn't put in my best work either if I had us cheering for them right now." Pandora comes back with.

"You bit..." Kat attempts before being cut off.

"What's going on here?" Sarah asks in a commanding voice.

Several of Pandora's team members move out of the way as Sarah's hands touch them, causing their eyes to glow red. Sarah makes her way over to between Kat and Pandora, touching Kat's shoulder as she does and getting the same glow.

"I asked a question."

"We were just..." begins Kat, clearly trying to come up with something, "Welcoming the new girl."

Sarah looks over the contents of Pandora's locker spread out on the floor, "Doesn't look like a welcome to me."

"You wouldn't want us treating her differently just because she's the principal's daughter would you?" asks Kat in a very annoyed voice.

"I also don't want her father shutting us down because we attacked her and she hates us. I'm too close to..." insists Sarah before realizing what she was about to say.

Pandora watches Sarah for a moment then looks between her teammates, unsure of herself, "I'd never do that."

Sarah seems confused by this turn of events, "You wouldn't?"

"No, I... you know... I joined this team to make friends." insists Pandora.

"Friends?" asks Kat with a sarcastic tone with several of her teammates being annoyed, "Seriously? Come on Sarah, you gotta let us make her to gone. Friends? Obviously she's an idiot."

This makes Pandora confused, "Wanting friends makes me an idiot?"

"Of course it does, the only real thing you should care about is..." Kat attempts before being cut off.

"Kat, shut the hell up." Sarah commands.

That seems to force everyone to back off.

"I say she's one of us? She's one of us. Got it?" again Sarah's words seem to silence her critics, "Great, so get going."

After what seems like a bit of a stand off, Kat motions for the other cheerleaders to follow her as she leaves.

Eventually, Pandora turns to Sarah, "Thanks."

"Your father wants to see us." says Sarah rather bluntly.

Pandora isn't quite sure how to respond.
