"Make sure you keep your toes pointed, Tenten!" Hinata yelled, "I'm thinking about adding a Double Arabian Salto Straight to your floor, but you have to be able to do the double turn while holding your leg in the split position before I even consider adding that kind of difficulty right after it."

Tenten sighed before getting into position to try again. She took a deep breath before using her arms to propel her and then quickly bringing her left leg up as high as she could get it. Said leg wobbled slightly but stayed up until she brought it to the floor to signal the end of her turn. A grin that stretched from ear to ear broke out across her tan face. "I did it!"

"You wobbled a bit, but that was a huge improvement from the other 3. So tomorrow we will definitely be working on a tumbling pass that will raise your maximum score from a 16.6 to a 16.78," Hinata said with a smile to match her best friends.

"Yes!" Tenten yelled while punching the air.

"What's all this fuss about?"

Both girls turned around to see Ino and Sakura taking off their warm-up suits while shooting curious looks at the 2 grinning girls.

"I finally got the Double turn, so Hina says she'll teach me how to do a Double Arabian Salto straight to raise my maximum score. How awesome is that?" Tenten said bouncing up and down.

"That is something to be grinning about!" Sakura exclaimed before she gave her adopted sister a hug.

"Well, Tenten you could at least give the rest of the gymnastics world a chance at gold!" Ino teased with a smile across her face.

"I'm sorry Ino! I just can't hold back. Now all I have to do is improve my beam routine to snatch the gold right from your manicured fingertips," Tenten teased back with equal humor.

"I'd love to see you pull that off," Ino responded "just don't cry or anything when they put that gold around my neck."

For a moment, they looked serious. But neither could hold back the grins that broke across their faces at the others wit.

"Well as much as I love talking about getting the gold. None of us will be getting anything if we sit around talking about high level moves instead of perfecting them. Let's go girls! London is only a dream away!" Sakura said before running off towards the uneven bars.

"Yeah, she's right. C'mon Tenten! Try it again before we create your transition to the corner to start your new tumbling pass!" Hinata said stepping outside the floor to stand where she could watch the routine with an unobstructed view. "Are you going to work on your beam, Ino?"

Ino gave a thoughtful look before shrugging her shoulders, "Not yet. I should probably work on my vault. Coach upgraded my vault to a Handspring Straight Front Salto wit twist, so I'll work on my beam a little later," she explained before running off to the vault chalk bowl.

Hinata turned back to Tenten only to see her staring off somewhere else. She followed her gaze to the uneven bars where Sakura was all chalked up and checking the bars. Sakura walked a few feet back before she turned around and took a deep breath. She took a running start and performed a round-off into the spring board set up in front of the low bar. In mid-air, she executed a perfect Arabian salto before grabbing and hanging off the high bar.

Hinata looked back at Tenten to see her mouth hanging open, "That was amazing…" she thought she heard the brunette beauty whisper.

Hinata hesitated before turning back to small figure now just standing under the bars and yelling across the gym, "Sakura!" said girl's head snapped up, "What was that mount called? And when did you learn it?"

Sakura smiled and then shouted back, "It was a Round-off Arabian salto over the low bar to hang on the high bar! Tsunade suggested it about a week ago and we've been working on it ever since then!"

"Well, that was flawless! Just keep your feet closer together for the round-off and you'll be a bit higher over the low bar!" Ino shouted from the vaulting area.

"Thanks! I've been trying to figure out what I was doing wrong!" Sakura said with a look of enlightenment.

"Oh, Sakura! I've been meaning to ask you!" Ino said before running to grab Sakura's arm and pull her away from everyone else.

Hinata shook her head to clear her thoughts, "Tenten, let's get to work!"

"So what happened on your date yesterday?" Ino whispered.

Sakura sighed before saying, "I don't understand, Ino. He never comes to my competitions and Olympic trials are coming up. I think I'd perform better if I knew he came to watch," she shook her head before continuing, "But of course all he could say was 'Babe, you know how busy I am. I'll try but I don't want you to be disappointed'"

Ino giggled at her attempt at Sasuke's deep monotone. "Look, its okay. You'll be an Olympian with or without him and he already cleared his schedule to go to London with you for a week. Don't push it, he's trying!"

"You're right." She said with a laugh, "I should really appreciate that he's even trying with how packed his schedule always is."

"Now! Enough with the sad, time to practice. Come watch my vault." Ino said before grabbing her hand and yanking her towards the vault.

"Just don't fall on your butt, okay?" Sakura teased.

Ino gave a fake laugh before abruptly stopping, "No."
