“That's what I was about to say!” he laughed.
“Attention players!” Mrs. Kelly's voice sounded from the intercom, “Thank you all for attending today's tournament. We hope you've all had lots of fun and made new friends.”
“Whatever,” Tamara sighed, “Just get to announcing the points.”
“I will be annocuing winners now. In third place, with twenty seven points is Heartsville High School. Congratulations, Heartsville.

It's with a lot of pride I tournament and the chess season the first place winner of this tournament and the chess season.

Applause roared around her, but Tamara turned to Hayden and pulled him into a quick kiss.
“So will you go to the dance with me?” she grinned.
“Only if you don't make me go as a faerie.”
Tamara laughed and kissed him again, “No, I think we've had enough encounters with faeries to last awhile.”
