  7. Q: Why did Astrid and Zoey stop being friends for a period of time?
    A: They stopped being friends for a period of time because when Zoey became the jammer for the bout, Astrid was disappointed that she wasn't jammer so she didn't seem happy for Zoey. This made Zoey feel a little annoyed with Astrid which broke them up.
