Chapter 10: Bring on Rainbow Cheer
The girls are in the auditorium awaiting directions from Ms. Wright who called them there. They are all confused.
"Why do you think Ms. Wright called us here?" Amaya asked before all the lights are then shut off, scaring Skyler.
"Who turned off the lights?" Skyler asked.
The spotlight then turns on, revealing Ms Wright. "I did," she answers. "As you know, Rainbow High prides itself on challenging students to rise to the occasion, which is why you are here. Sometimes we give an extra challenge, just to see what you've got, so here's your challenge."
Ms. Wright then shows a board with all the different cheer uniforms that were made throughout the years.
"Design new uniforms for the Rainbow High cheerleading squad," she explains, leaving Scarlette and Ruby excited.
"We get to design the uniforms?" Ruby asked. "Fire!"
"Beyond fire!" Scarlette says as she and Ruby are silently celebrating together.
"Yes well, we went through two fourth year groups first, but their designs were meh," Ms. Wright explains. "It's time for fresh eyes, and a raw point of view, it's time for za-zing!"
Sunny then whispers to her friends. "Hey I'm taking notes, how do you spell 'za-zing?'"
"You're the first group to get this opportunity; don't waste it," Ms. Wright tells them. "Now let's meet your judges from the cheerleading squad and football team."
The stage light then go on to reveal Karma Nichols, Stella Monroe, Trisha Haze, and River Kendall. Amaya and Scarlette keeped their eyes on River and Trisha in particular.
Amaya then whispers to Jade. "Who's the cute guy in teal?" she asks.
"And the girl in beige," Scarlette adds. "She's cuter."
Amaya then nudges Scarlette, causing her to laugh before Jade glares at them.
"Crushes later," Jade scolds. "Challenge now!"
"If you wanna win, your designs need the four S's, Style, Swag, and School Spirit!" River told the group.
"And to prove your spirit we wanna see you do a cheer in your designs. Impress us." Karma adds.
"And if you do," Trisha finishes. "We'll make sure to give you a little shout out during the game."
Trisha then winks at Scarlette and River gives Amaya another look. Both girls are flattered with Scarlette fanning herself.
"Okay, I take it back," Jade whispers to the duo. "Crushes now and challenge now."
Jade and Amaya then fist bump with Amaya and Scarlette holding each others hands excitedly.
"You'll present your designs right here, in exactly 48 hours." Ms. Wright says before clapping her hands and again, turning the light back on and everyone on stage mysteriously vanishing.
"Um guys," Skyler asked confused. "Can we talk about how they all disappeared?"
"No time!" Sunny panics. "We only have 48 hours. There's no way!"
"We've got this!" Amaya tells them. "I totally used to give myself time challenges at home, like my favorite show "Project Fashion"! We just won't sleep or shower."
Everyone then gives her a disturbed look.
"And we've got two fashion focuses, we can totally do this!" Skyler tells them.
"For sure we can! We just have to split everything up and spend all night concentrating on what we do best! Sky and I will handle uniform design."
"And you know I'm all over hair and makeup," Jade says. "I'm thinking high ponies, and big bows!"
Everyone gives Jade a surprised look.
"What?" she asked. "I like pep."
"Oh, I've got a sweet idea for pom poms!" Poppy adds.
Scarlette quickly raises her hand up. "Ooh! I'll help!"
Poppy and Scarlette then high five each other.
"And Sunny and I can work on the cheer right?" Violet tells them.
"Yes!" Sunny says excitedly. "Sunny, Violet, go, go, go! We'll make a cheer and win the show!"
Sunny then falls to the ground, causing her friends to pick her up.
Amaya and Skyler are now walking down the halls, both with notebooks with their design sketches on them.
"Are you kidding with this?" Amaya says to Skyler. "We came up with too many amazing designs."
"Now we just have to ask the group which one they like best," Skyler says as she and Amaya walk into the room.
The duo open the door to find Violet, Sunny, Ruby, and Jade arguing with each other.
"They're judging us on sass and style," Ruby told Jade, showing her a design of the emblem she made. "Bam! You're welcome."
"Those emblems don't match this hair and makeup," Jade argued back, holding up her own designs. "And what I've got is sick!"
"Sick isn't cheer," Violet told Jade. "Cheer is cheerful, and fashion forward."
"And fun!" Sunny pops in.
Amaya and Skyler then look to see Poppy and Scarlette struggling with their pom poms, with both of them trying to pull the pom poms away from each other.
"Pull harder!" Poppy told Scarlette.
"I am!" Scarlette said back as they continued to struggle with getting them apart.
"Was I wrong to have us all split us up?" Amaya asks Skyler.
"No, we all have big ideas, that's good," Skyler reassures her. "Here, I'll help."
Skyler then does a loud bird call, splitting up the fighting and leaving everyone, including Amaya, surprised.
"What?" Skyler asked. "It's a bird call, my dad's a birdwatcher, Amaya."
"Thanks." Amaya says. "We shouldn't fight. It's like Sky said, it's good that we all have big ideas. It's cause we're all unique, talented people." Amaya then gets an idea. "Just like everyone at Rainbow High, including the cheerleaders! And they shouldn't have the same look, they should have looks unique to them!"
"Hold up," Jade says. "You mean instead of one look for the cheer squad, we make a different look for each cheerleader?"
"A rainbow of looks for a rainbow of talents!" Sunny says happily. "I love it!"
"Turn your color up!" Ruby says as the girls all put their hands together and begin working. Once they were done and finished, the girls were all in their uniforms onstage, preparing to perform.
"It'll be just like we practiced," Amaya says while the girls are all in a huddle. "Poppy starts, we all follow her lead."
They then leave the huddle as Ms. Wight appears with Karma, Trisha, Stella, and Kendall, all watching them from the audience.
"Alright girls," Ms. Wright said. "Let's see what you've got."
Amaya then begins to start. "Get ready to be dazzled by Rainbow High's new cheer collection; find your rainbow!"
Everyone then start to recite their cheer. "At Rainbow High get ready, let's go! Come on now let your colors show! Work together all for one, can't stop us we're never done! Talent, moxie, looks so fly, let's all cheer for Rainbow High! Go team!"
As they all finish, Poppy begins to walk up to the front of the stage with everyone else following behind her, giving each other nervous looks. Karma, Trisha, and Stella are whispering to each other, making their decision before giving it to Ms. Wright.
Ms. Wright then stands up. "I'm not impressed," the girls all give each other sad and disappointed looks as Ms. Wright continues, taking off her glasses. "I'm very impressed! You broke the mold, and created something truly unique. You did it!"
The girls then all erupt in cheers and excitement, hugging and screaming as they all celebrate.
Amaya and Scarlette are together, screaming excitedly as River and Trisha approach them.
"Congratulations," River says to Amaya. "Really great work. And your new hair is awesome."
"Your uniform is by far my favorite," Trisha says to Scarlette. "I'll make sure to see more of you soon, see you later, cutie."
With that, River and Trisha leave, leaving Amaya and Scarlette blushing before going to their friends and joining them in celebration.
