Hi everyone

This is cherub fan no.1 here just thought I'd tell you that this is my first fic so I apologize in advance if it doesn't turn out too great. It is a training exercise set at no particular time in the series I have used mostly the original characters but in honor of some friends I have made some up. Hope you enjoy and please review.

"Shit" was James' response when he woke up on a cold snowy morning. He had slept through his 5am alarm and caused his entire training group three and a half hours shivering in the training compound. He rushed to get ready had a shower and put on his cherub uniform before racing outside only to find that once again the lift had a yellow out of order sign on it. 'I wonder if the handlers do that just to slow us down and give them another reason to punish us' he thought to himself as he raced down the stairs to get to the training compound little did he know he wasn't the only one running late that morning.

On the other side of campus

Jamaica had woken up to find not only had she over slept but she had also left her bedroom window open so now all of her stuff that she left near her window was now covered in a blanket of snow. "Ohh crap" she said to herself "now I'm going to have to clean all this off before I go anywhere near the training compound". So she started shaking out her clothes and books out the window not without accidently dropping her hardcover science textbook down onto her handler Kyle's head earning her 50 punishment laps. The day was not going well.

Half an hour later

"Hello Mr. large sorry I am late" Jamaica said running out of breath into the training compound "Ohh don't hello Mr. large me, my guess is that you probably spent the morning having a lie in and then a cooked breakfast followed by a warm shower and a nice leisurely walk over here am I correct? Any way your teammates and opponents have just spent the four hours that you are late standing here with their left foot off the ground. Now you have all been supplied with a pack containing paintball guns, a canteen, and a map of the compound. There will be other things hidden around in various places such as grenades stun guns and night vision. You will reach the compound at 0900 hours and the exercise will finish at 1100 hours tomorrow. There are 21 keys hidden in various hard to get to places and whichever team collects the most keys will win the exercise. The yellow team is Lauren as senior agent, Kerry, Alex, Jamaica, Jake and Greg. The red team is James as senior agent, Pelin, Steph, Dante, Kevin, and Bethany. So without anymore chit chat let's board these cars and head over to the compound.

"3, 2, 1 go" yelled Mr. Large through the loud speaker. Ok guys we need to work this out Pelin, Dante can you go find some high ground on a rooftop would be good and start shooting when people from the yellow team come close. Kevin, Bethany can you go through the buildings and try to find some gear, and Steph you and I will go find some keys ok" "yes James" the others chorused.
