Chapter 8
Once the teams are announced everyone scatters around the conference room to find their new team members.
Ashlyn's team is made up of the goal keepers. Hope, Alyssa and a couple defenders Ali, Becky and Christie Rampone. The first step for each team was to come up with a team name. Christie takes charge and becomes the unofficial captain of the team.
"Ok ladies. We need a team name. It needs to be fierce, strong and it needs to represent this group of us."
Ash is the first to speak " what about the Sharks."
Cap nods " that's not bad. Anyone else have an idea?"
Becky next to throw out a suggestion
" what about the bald eagles. It's patriotic. Their strong and if they are good enough to represent our country and it should be good enough for our scavenger hunt team"
The team all slowly nods in agreement
"Or we could go a little more girly and go with princesses or unicorns" Ali says with a sparkling grin on her face.
" Ali I think all the goal keepers here would have to be dead to every compete under the name unicorns or princesses" Cap says while trying not to laugh.
Ali nods " I know but I felt like I had to at least throw it out there "
Cap takes control once again " so we are down to sharks or bald eagles. Sharks are tough but Eagles are patriotic and patriotism is the name of the game . So my vote is for Eagles. How does everyone feel about that?"
Everyone agrees and the announce that their group name is Eagles.

There are 13 tasks in total
The Eagles come up with a plan to get all the things done as fast as possible. They are going to start off doing all of the full group activities together and then they are going to split up to complete the smaller tasks.
The activity starts at 9:00. All the teams race across the street to the mall to start accomplishing tasks. The Eagles decide to start in a big anchor store and try to get as many tasks done as possible in one place. They easily get the hats and sunglasses selfie done. ( 1 done)
Ash finds a Mannequin in a black suit that she easily matches from the rack. Hope snaps a picture. (2 done)
Cap suggests that Ash keep the suit on while the rest of the team try's to find ridiculous prom dresses. So they can take their prom pictures. Ash waits for them outside the dressing room next to a huge mirror. Trying to fix her suit just right.
Cap, Becky, Hope and Alyssa walk out of there dressing rooms with their cloths still on underneath there dresses. All wearing a different style of ugliness. All of them choosing to find the comedy in the assignment.
"Ali come on, hurry up. It doesn't have to be perfect we just need to take a picture and take them off"
Becky says trying to get Ali to come out of the dressing room quicker.
Ali finally emerges in a tight red dress. Knee length with cut outs on either side. The dress hugs her every curve and unlike the other girls she had actually tried the dress on. It looked amazing.
Ash isn't even hiding the fact that she is completely checking her out. Ash is stuck in her own world of just looking up and down Ali's body. Trying to memorize every curve.
Hope appointed herself the photographer of the group. They all stand in front of the mirror to get a large group photo. Then they decide to take extra pictures to maybe collect extra points.
Each girl standing with Ash individually to poses as her date.
Ash picks Cap up bridle style for the first set of prom date pictures.
Becky and Ash lean against each other standing back to back and flex their arms.
Next Ash stands in the middle of Hope and Alyssa as they wrap their arms around each other's backs. Getting a cute goal keepers picture that is for sure going to be posted on social media after the activity is over.
It's finally Ali's turn to pose with Ash.
Ash suggests they do the typical prom pose. With Ali standing in front of Ash and Ash's hands around Ali's sides. Right before the picture is about to be taken Ash leans her head in to rest of Ali's shoulders and whispers in her ear.
" You look amazing in this dress" at the same time Ali becomes completely aware of the skin to skin contact happening between them because of the cut outs in her dress.
Hope takes the picture and Ali is left standing there blushing. The only evidence to prove that the interaction had just happened was the warm feeling left from Ashlyn's hands on Ali's body and the picture Hope had just taken.
The team rushes to change back into their normal clothes. Everyone trying to speed Ali up it doesn't as long as it did for her to originally get into the dress. (3 tasks done)
