Chapter Two: No rest for the sick and hurting!
Its five o'clock in the morning on Monday, April 6, 2009, Kaylie Cruz wearing a pair of black workout pants and a black long sleeved T-shirt is asleep on her bed with a cold compress on her forehead and the bathroom trash can beside the bed on the left-hand side if you are standing at the end of the bed. Ronnie Cruz wearing a blue bathroom over her blue stain nightgown is standing in the door of her daughters' bedroom watching her daughters who just fall asleep ten minutes ago after being up all night throwing up and having diarrhea all day Sunday and all night too. In addition she has been running a low to moderate grade fever since Saturday evening. Ronnie walks away from her daughters' bedroom door to go downstairs and call Kaylie gymnastics coach Marty Walsh and see if Kaylie can get out of coming to training for the day, at the same time Leo wearing a pair of gray sweatpant and sweatshirt walks up to his mom with a worry look on his face and Ronnie stop walking and looks at her son.

"How are you feeling this morning?"

"Better after been able to keep food and water down since yesterday afternoon and my fever break during the night."

"That great."

"I am so sorry mom I did not want to get Kaylie sick!"

"I am sure that it is not all your fault because the stomach flu has been going around town Kaylie could have caught it from someone at Rocky Mountain Gymnastics Training Center or at one of her gymnastics competitions. I have to call Marty Walsh and see if Kaylie is allowed to miss training today."

Ronnie walks away from her son and head downstairs and then goes into the living room. Ronnie picks up the cordless phone and at the same time Leo walks up to his sisters bedroom door. Leo looks into the bedroom and he sees Kaylie lean over the trash can dry heaving. Leo walks into the bedroom and pulls his sisters' hair out of her face. Three minutes later Kaylie stops dry heaving and Leo let go of her hair. Kaylie lays back down on the bed and puts the cold compress back onto her forehead then shut her eyes.

"Thank Leo."

"You are welcome and I am so sorry that you caught the stomach flu from me."

"It's not your fault, Marty Walsh miss training on Monday afternoon, Tuesday and Wednesday because of having the stomach flu and the assistance coach had to fill in for him. I could have got the stomach flu from him and not you."

"I will leave and let you get some rest now."

"Ok, but I do not think I will be able to rest because I am having bad abdominal cramps, muscle aches and I have an awful headache and one second I am cold and the next second I am burning up."

"Try and get some rest Kaylie."

"I will try."

Leo walks out off his sisters' bedroom, but he stops right outside the door and looks into his sisters' bedroom and sees that Kaylie has roll over so that her back is to the bedroom door and he can hear his sister crying. Ten minutes later Ronnie walks into her daughters' bedroom and sit down on the edge of her daughters' bed and taps Kaylie on her right shoulder. Kaylie rolls over holding the cold compress on her forehead and looks at her mom.

"What did coach Walsh say mom?"

"That you have to come today, because training when you are sick will prepare you for if you are sick during a competition or if you are at the 2012 Olympics and end up having to compete when you are unwell."

"Ok mom, I am going to rest for a few more minutes, then I will get up and get ready to go to the Rock."

"That is fine Kaylie."

Ronnie stands up from the bed and walk out of her daughters' bedroom shutting the bedroom door behind her. Kaylie sits up in her bed and turn on the lamp that is on the bed side table and that is on the right-hand side if lay on the bed on your back or on the left-hand side if standing at the end of the bed. Kaylie sits on her bed for a few minutes with her arms warp around her waist, then jumps out of her bed and runs out of her bedroom and to the bathroom because she is having an intense urge to have a bowel movement, she makes it into the bathroom and sit down on the toilet just in time. Meanwhile, at the Tanner's house it is five thirty in the morning and Lauren has not getting up. Mr. Tanner is knocking on his daughters' bedroom door, but does not get an answer. Mr. Tanner's opens up Lauren's bedroom door and see that she is asleep. He walks into Lauren's bedroom and over to the bed, which silver iron headboard is up against the center of the far left-hand wall across from her vanity table and the closet door is to the right of the vanity table if standing in front of the vanity table. He sits down on the edge of the bed and then he looks at Lauren who is wearing a long sleeved sky-blue nightshirt and matching sky-blue pajama pants and can tell that his daughter still does not feel well by looking at her and can hear that Lauren is still congested. Mr. Tanner tap Lauren on her right shoulder a few time and Lauren open up her eyes to see her dad sitting on her bed. Lauren sits up in the bed and start holding her throat with her right hand at the same time is looking at her dad.

"(Is losing her voice) what time is it?"

"Five thirty-three in the morning Lauren, you need to get up and get ready to head to the Rock."

"Ahem I do not feel up to training today I have a stuffy nose still and like yesterday no matter how hard I try, when I blow my nose nothing will come out. In addition my throat is still very scratchy and sore and I am achy all over. Sniffling I also have no appetite, I still have a headache and it feels like I am still running a fever because I have the chills. I also think that my tonsils and lymph nodes are swelling."

"Lauren open up your mouth, so I can take a look at your throat."

"Ok dad."

Lauren opens up her mouth and Steve Tanner looks at his daughter throat and sees that her throat is inflamed. He also notices that her tonsils are a little swelling and there are a few small white spots on her throat and tonsils. A minute later Lauren close her mouth and Steve Tanner feel his daughter neck and he feels that her lymph nodes are a little swelling too. He grabs the digital thermometer off of the nightstands beside his daughters' bed. He then turns the thermometer on and hands the thermometer to his daughter. Lauren puts the thermometer into her mouth and then lays her head down onto her pillows. Thirty second later the thermometer beeps and Mr. Tanner takes the thermometer out of his daughter mouth and see that she is running a fever of 102.9 degree Fahrenheit.

"You are running a fever of 102.9 degree Fahrenheit, just like last night. Your throat is very inflamed and your tonsils and lymph nods are a little swelling and there are a few small white spots on your throat and tonsils too. I will call Marty Walsh and see if he will let you out of training today and when the doctors' office open up I will make you're a doctor appointment because I think that you might have strep throat."

"Ahem thanks dads I am going to go back to sleep, wake me up if he won't let me out of training."

"Ok and do you want any Tylenol regular strength tablet or Motrin IB caplets to reduce the fever and help give you some relief from the headache and sore throat?"

"Ahem I will try some Motrin IB caplets because the Tylenol regular strength tablet has not ahem been helping any."

"Ok, I will go get you some and bring them into you and then I will call Marty."

Mr. Tanner stands up from the bed, then he walks out of his daughters' bedroom and shut the bedroom door behind him. At the same time Lauren grab a tissue from the box on the nightstand and blows her nose, but nothing will come out. Twenty-five minutes later at Rocky Mountain Gymnastics Training Center, Payson who wearing a purple GK tank leotard and Becca who wearing a GK tank leotard that top half is lavender and the bottom half is a dark purple, along with Anastasia's who wearing a pair of black nylon/spandex workout shorts with a large silver sequin star on the left leg and black x back scoop neckline crop top with crystals along the neckline, which allow everyone to see the tattoo on her lower back. Anastasia's is also wearing her metallic gold Defiance III Female Fource ACL knee brace and had the Acrylic finger nails filled and cut down to a shot length yesterday and had a French manicure on them. The three of them are sitting on the blue floor mat stretching. Becca sees her friends walking through the doors and stands up from the floor mat. Becca then runs over to them, so she can tell them she is a jr. elite gymnast and she will be start home school during the 2009 and 2010 school year and start training eight hours a day once summer starts. Anastasia who has her left leg out straight and toes pointed and her right leg bent in an Indian style sitting position and is leaning toward her left toes stretching her hamstring. Anastasia looks over at Payson and sees that Payson is grimace expression on her face as leaning forward to touch her toes.

"Is your back hurting Payson?"

"Yes I aggravate the herniated disk in my back when I landed the last tumbling pass on the floor at the IGA classic."

"Have you been icing and using heat on your back to help you got some relief from the pain?"

"I have been icing my lower back, but its not helping. I have not try heat, I will find the heating pad when I get home and see if that help. Kaylie and Lauren are running late this morning Ana?"

"Yes they are Payson."

"I hope Kaylie did not catch the stomach bug that Coach Walsh had last week and that her brother has and I hope that Lauren is feeling better this morning, because she was still sick yesterday."

"Me too, Ana."

At the same time Lauren who is wearing a GK tank leotard that is a baby blue with a dark-blue criss-cross pattern across the chest of the leotard and she is also wearing a pair of baby blue nylon/spandex workout capris over the leotard and a baby blue warm up jacket that is half zip up and Kaylie who is wearing a GK tank leotard that is mostly pink, but around the left arm it is black and there is a black stripe down the right side and there are crystals in a wave pattern that start at the right shoulder and end at the center of the abdomen.

The two teenager girls slower walk into the lobby of Rocky Mountain Gymnastics Training Center. Kaylie has her left arm wrapped around her stomach and gym bag in her right hand. Lauren is yawning into her right hand and the strap of her gym bag is hanging over her left shoulder. A few minutes later Lauren and Kaylie slower walk through the doors that lead to the training area and walk over to the area the lockers are at and open up they lockers. Then Lauren and Kaylie put they gym bags in they lockers and take off they shoes and puts they shoes into they lockers. Kaylie and Lauren slower walk over to the floor exercise mat, wishing they were home in bed and not at the rock. Kaylie lays down on the floor mat in front Payson and Lauren sits down on the floor mat in front of Anastasia. Payson and Anastasia look at Lauren first and notices that she looks pale then normal and sound congested. At the same time Kaylie start sitting in a side spilt and then starts to lean forward until she is touch the mat and her arms are out stretches in front of her. She then slower rises and then leans forward again, Lauren switches to sitting in a front spilt position and then leans forward, at the same time Anastasia start to talk.

"How are you feeling Lauren?"

"(Sound hoarse) I feel really rough this morning I am running a fever of 102.9 degree Fahrenheit and my throat is very inflamed and there are few small white spots on my throat and tonsils. My tonsils and lymph nods are a little swelling too, I have a stuffy nose and no matter how hard I try when I blow my nose nothing comes out. I still have a very scratchy and sore throat, I am also achy all over, have the chill, have no appetite and I still have a headache. Ahem my dad is going to make me a doctor appointment when the office open up because he thinks that I might ahem have strep throat, I am only here because Marty would not let me stay home."

"(Payson, Kaylie and Anastasia) that not good."

Kaylie stops stretch and then warps her arms around her stomach. Kaylie then stands up and she runs across the room to the ladies' restroom door. The restroom door is on the same wall that the doors from the lobby are, which is on the left-hand side if you are on the floor mat and facing the vault table, the coaches' office that is raised above the training area and in the center if you are on the floor mat facing the vault table, locker area that is on right-hand side and right after the stairs to coach office and the office if you are on the floor mat facing vault table and the restroom door is on the far right-hand side and behind the vault table if you are on the floor mat facing the vault table. Kaylie open up the door and runs into the white restroom and then run into the first stall that is up against the right-hand wall if back is to the restroom door and shut and locks the stall door behind her. Meanwhile, in the training area Payson, Anastasia and Lauren are staring at the ladies' restroom door. A few minute later Kaylie walks out of the restroom and back over to the floor mat and start to stretch again. Payson, Anastasia and Lauren look over at Kaylie and notice that she looks tried, feverish and a little pale too. Lauren and Payson go back to stretching, but Anastasia stands up and walks over to Kaylie and kneels down next to her and then puts her left hand onto Kaylie's forehead, which feels warm to the touch.

"Kaylie how are you feeling because it feels like you are running a fever and you look tired and pale?"

"I feel awful Ana, I have been running a fever since Saturday evening and when I take my temperature before leaving the house it was 102.5 degree Fahrenheit. Yesterday I had diarrhea all day and I still have diarrhea, I start throwing up at eight o'clock last night and was throwing up all night and this morning I start dry heaving. I also have a headache, abdominal cramps, muscle aches and I am only here because Marty made me come."

Kaylie and Anastasia go back to stretching and thirty minutes later Marty Walsh who is wearing a pair of black dress pants and white polo shirt walks over to the floor exercise mat and he stops in front of Lauren, Payson, Kaylie and Anastasia. He then clears his throat to get the four teenage girls attention. Lauren, Kaylie, Payson and Anastasia look up at coach Marty Walsh.

"Payson you can start training on uneven bars today, go get your grips on. Ana, Kaylie and Lauren stay here for a few minutes I need to talk to the three of you."

Payson stands up and walks over to the lockers to get her bar grips out of her locker. Meanwhile Marty Walsh is standing in front Kaylie and Lauren and Anastasia has got up from the floor mat and she is now standing beside Marty.

"Kaylie when you start to feel better in the evening you will be going over to Ana place and to IGA with Ana and she will be teaching you a new floor routine, uneven bar routine and beam routine that I ask Ana and her mother to choreography for you."

'Ok, I always love the routines that Svetlana Stren made up for me, Svetlana Stren was a great gymnast in her day and is a great choreographer. It will be cool to see what Ana and her mom come up with for my new floor routine, uneven bar routine and beam routine."

"You can start training on beam Kaylie."

"Ok."

Kaylie stands up and starts walking over to the two competition balance beams the low beams are behind the floor mat and in front of the far right-hand wall if you standing in the door from the lobby, but once she reaches the two competition balance beams Kaylie get an intense urge to use the bathroom and runs into the lady's restroom and at the same time Marty Walsh and Anastasia look down at Lauren who is resting her head on her knees.

"Lauren when you start to feel better, you will also be learning a new beam routine and a new uneven bar routine at IGA that I ask Ana and her mom to choreography for you."

"Ok, that sounds like fun sniffling."

"You are also starting on the beam this morning Lauren and Ana's you are starting on vault today."

"(Lauren and Ana) Ok."

Lauren stands up and unzips her warm up jacket and then take off the jacket. Lauren walks over to her lockers to put her warm up jacket into her locker, then walk over to the beam that is nearest to the vault table. At the same time Anastasia is running down the vault runway, when she reaches the springboard she jumps onto the springboard and then does a front handspring onto the vault table with prefect form, she then does a triple front tucked salto with a full twist on the last salto off of the vault table and has prefect form in post flight off of the vault and the skill is called the Woolley/Stren one and value is 7.00 and when add to the base score of ten is a total score of 17.00 and the vault is named after because of preforming the vault at the 2008 Olympic games. Anastasia sticks the landing of the vault with her back to the vault table and at the same time Lauren does a front tucked salto onto the beam, but has a balance check, once she has her balance she does a wolf jump into a split leap with a half turn, but slip off the beam. She hops back onto the beam and try the wolf jump into the split leap with a half turn again and this time stays on the beam. Lauren then does a layout stepout into a layout stepout to an arabesque. She stops to catch her breath and then does a tucked Arabian salto with a half twist, but slips off the beam again. Lauren hops back onto the beam and then redoes the tucked Arabian salto with a half twist and this time only has a balance check. She then does a free aerial cartwheel into a full turn with her right leg horizontal in front of her and then does a back tucked salto off of the beam, but take a large step on the landing. Lauren's hop back onto the beam and does the dismount again, but this time sits down on the dismount and is thinking I wonder if the cold that I have has moves into my inner ears because my balance is off and my ears are hurting a little. At the same time Anastasia does a roundoff onto the springboard and then does to a half turn in preflight to the vault table, then does a front handspring onto the vault table with prefect form. Anastasia then does a layout triple twists off of the vault table, which is called a Woolley/Stren two named after her at 2008 Olympic games and skill value is 7.0 and when add to the base score of ten is seventeen and sticks the landing landing facing the vault table. She walks down to the end of the vault runway and a minute later is running down the runway, she then does a roundoff onto the springboard into a half turn in preflight to the vault table into a front handspring onto the vault, then does layout three and half twists off of the vault and sticks the landing facing the vault table, hopeful this vault will be named Woolley/Stren three after 2009 worlds and the skill value is also value at a 7.0. At the same time Kaylie walk out of the lady's restroom carrying her warm up jacket, Kaylie walks over to her locker to put her warm up jacket into the locker. A few minutes later Kaylie walks over to the beam nearest to the coaches' office, lockers and restroom. Then Kaylie steps up onto the springboard that is at the end of the beam nearest to the coaches' office and puts her hands onto the beam and then does a press to a handstand, she lowers down into a sitting position on the beam and is facing the end of the beam that the springboard is at. Kaylie sits on the beam for more than two minutes fighting the feeling that she going to throw up, the feeling final pass and then Kaylie does a back walkover with a full turn into a back layout stepout into a sheep jump. Kaylie then sits back down on the beam and waits for the room to stop spinning. Four minutes later she stands up and does a full turn with her left leg below horizontal into a split leap to a back handspring into a layout step out. She then pauses for a few moments with her arms wrapped around her stomach and then does a roundoff into a two and half twists off the beam and sit down on the dismount, Kaylie then lay back on the mat and shut her eyes because the room is spinning again. Over on the uneven bars Payson is working on her piked Tkatchev and is wishing that she could have an injection of cortisone for her back, but it is now banned by International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the world Anti-doping code and the gymnastic committee, so she has to learn to push through the pain without injection of cortisone if she wants to make the 2012 Olympic team. At the same time Kaylie open up her eyes to see Carter Anderson who is wearing a blue compression shirt and blue cut away shorts kneel beside her.

"Are you all right Kaylie?"

"(Voice sound scratchy) Yeah I am fine, I do not get enough height on my beam dismount and end up sitting down on the dismount instead of landing the dismount on my feet, so I lay back for a few second to catch my breath."

Kaylie sits up and then slowly gets to her feet, but has to grab hold of the end of the beam to support herself because it feels like her legs are going to give out at any second. Carter wraps his left arm around Kaylie's waist and then helps her walk over to the wood bench that is in front of the locker area, which continue behind the coaches' office and Carter then helps Kaylie sit down on the bench.

"Carter will you get me a cup of water I am dying of thirsty and my mouth is very dry?"

"Sure Kaylie."

Carter walks over to the water cooler that is in front of the staircase to the coach's office and he gets Kaylie a cup of water and minute and half later he walks up to Kaylie and hands her the cup. Kaylie takes a drink of the water and drink the whole cup in two drinks. The water helps to relieve the dry mouth, but is not sitting so well in her stomach. At the same time Anastasia walks over to the locker area and walks up to the end locker that is on the right-hand side if standing in front of the lockers and turns the dial on her purple combination lock to ten, five and then fifteen, Anastasia then open up her locker and gets her purple water bottle out that says if gymnastic were easy it would be called a walk on the beach.

"Marty Walsh is watching the two of you, Carter might want to go back to training and you should too, Kaylie."

"(Carter and Kaylie) Thanks for letting us know."

Anastasia closes her locker door and relock the locker. Then Anastasia goes over to the water cooler and fills up her water bottle. At the same time Kaylie stand up and walks over to the beam nearest to the coaches' office and hops up onto the beam and start working on her back layout stepout into a sheep jump because she been having timer issues connect the two skills. Lauren hops off the beam that she is working on and walks over to Anastasia and tap her on the left shoulder as Anastasia puts the cap onto her water bottle. Then Anastasia turns around and looks at Lauren.

"What do you want Lauren?"

"Can we start working on the new routines tonight after the evening training session?"

'"Sure if you are feeling up to it."

"Ahem thanks and I always feel up to learning new routines, but you have to give me a ride because I do not have my car."

"That fine and you get to ride in my new purple 2009 ford mustang GT because I drive it to the gym today."

"Cool!"

Lauren goes back to training beam and Anastasia goes back to training on the vault. An hour later Lauren is training on the vault, Payson is training on the beam, Anastasia is training on the uneven bars and Kaylie is using the restroom before start training on the floor exercise. Ten minutes later Kaylie comes out of the bathroom and start training on the floor despite throwing up the two and half cup of water she drank over the past hour and feeling weak and exhaust.
At the end of the morning training session Carter gives Kaylie a ride home, so Kaylie's can rest during the afternoon break and Summer Van Horne, who is Mr. Tanner secretary and girlfriend has picked up Lauren to taken her to the doctor. Anastasia on the other hand is in the coaches' office and she is spending the afternoon break during home schooling and Marty is watching her take tests in twelfth grade English, Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry, U.S. Government, Physics, Psychology, contemporary world Issues and German two. Payson spends the afternoon break at home in her bedroom laying on her bed with the heating pad on her lower back, when the afternoon break end Anastasia is the first of the four top senior elite gymnasts to start stretching. Anastasia is doing shoulder circles when Payson and Lauren walk over to the floor exercise mat. Payson and Lauren's join Anastasia in doing shoulder circles and a few minutes later Kaylie open up the door from the lobby into the training area and Kaylie is wearing pink velvet micro-mini workout shorts with clear jewels that form small stars along the waistband and hem of the legs and a pink velvet v-neckline crop top with small jewel stars around the neckline that is part of the Anastasia Woolley/Stren GK workout line. Kaylie walks over to her teammate and join them doing shoulder circles, she looks at Payson, Lauren and Anastasia and sees that there of them are wearing the same leotards or crop top and short they wear for the morning training session and at the same time Anastasia smiles at Kaylie and then walks over to her.

"The pink velvet micro-mini workout shorts and the pink velvet v-neckline crop top looks great on you."

"Thanks Ana's I love them and I figure that today would be a great day to wear them for the first time seeing that the short will be easy to take off every time I have to use the bathroom then one of my leotards would be."

Kaylie stops talking and wraps her arms around her stomach and a moment later runs off the floor mat and to the lady's restroom, at the same time Anastasia start doing toe and foot stretches. Twenty-nine minutes later Kaylie is training on uneven bars, Anastasia is training on beam, Payson is training on vault and Lauren is training on floor. Kaylie has let go of the low bar and is in flight to the high bar, she catches the high bar with her back to the low bar. She then does a Giant in a regular grip with one and half turns and is now looking at the low bar. Then does a clear hip circle then release the high bar and does a counter straddle over the high bar. Then swing forward, she releases the high bar and then does backward salto to the low bar, she catches the low bar and does an Endo with a half in a L-grip. Kaylie then jumps off the low bar and puts her left forearm over her mouth and then runs across the room and into the lady's restroom. She then runs into the first stall lower her left arm and drop to her knees in front of the toilet. Kaylie then starts throwing up into the toilet, at the same time in the training area Lauren has stop training on the floor and looks over at Anastasia who is about to mount the beam that nearest to the vault table and floor and start to watch her teammate. Anastasia does a roundoff onto the springboard that at the right end of the beam if on the floor looking at the beam and then does a full twist salto onto the beam. She sticks the landing facing the springboard and Marty moves the springboard away from the beam. At the same time Anastasia does a layout back salto with a full twist and sticks the landing, she is now at the other end of the beam and goes right into free aerial roundoff now her back is to where the springboard was at. She then does a full turn with right leg horizontal in front of her. Anastasia then goes right into a full turn with right leg held in spilt during the turn to a triple Illusion turn (E skill) Woolley/Stren one named after preforming at 2007 worlds. Then goes right into a switch spilt ring leap with a full turn is an F skill called a Woolley/Stren two after preforming at 2008 Olympic. Then lower down toward the beam into a tuckstand and does a double turn ending the turn with right leg in spilt position on the beam. She rises up and then does a tucked back salto with double twist a g skill that is call a Woolley/Stren three after preforming at 2008 Olympic, into a tucked Arabian salto with a half twist and is now facing where the springboard was at and goes right into a walkover backwards. Then she jumps backward with half twists to a walkover forward with stepout and now her back is to where the springboard was at. Then jumps forward with half twists to salto backwards, now she looking at where the springboard was at. Anastasia then does a triple turn in a tuckstand, then rise up and does a back handspring into a layout back salto to two feet landing and is now at the end of the beam. She then does a front pike salto with a two foot take off, then push off the beam into a double front salto dismount a g skill and is called the Woolley/Stren four after preforming at 2008 Olympic and sticks the landing with her back to the beam. Anastasia walks up to Marty Walsh who was watching her do beam.

"You have that routine down cold, let use last years beam routine to get you through 2009 season since it still has the highest score under the new code of points and at the end of the 2009 season we will choreography a new routine to use during the 2010 through 2012 seasons."

'That is fine."

"For your floor routine lets keep your 2008 floor routine through the 2009 national, around National the two of us can start working on a new floor routine to take you through to the 2011 National and we will change the floor routine for the 2011 worlds through 2012 seasons. I have a favor to ask you Ana, will you work with Payson the rest of today training and help her learn two new vaults, the first being a front handspring onto the vault table to a tucked double front salto off, which will up her skill value to a 6.4 and when that add to the base of ten point zero it will be a total of 16.4 for her first vault and then a roundoff onto the springboard into a half turn in preflight to the vault table to a front handspring onto the vault table into a layout triple twist off of the vault table (Woolley/Stren two) that will up her start value on the second vault to a 7.o and when add to the base score of ten point zeros is a 17.00. I want you to do the vault first to show her and then have Payson try the vaults after you, if that is ok with you?"

"Sure I will work with Payson on vault. "

Lauren goes back to training on the floor because she sees Marty Walsh walking toward her and at the same time Anastasia walks toward the vault. Payson is walking toward the end of the vault runway holding her back and when she notices Anastasia walk toward her, Payson stop walking and looks at Anastasia.

"Payson Coach Walsh asks me to help you learn two new vaults during the rest of today training."

"What are the new vaults?"

"The first vault is a front handspring onto the vault table to a tucked double front salto off of the vault table, which has a skill value of 6.4 and the second one start with a roundoff onto the springboard into a half turn in preflight to the vault into a front handspring onto the vault table into a layout triple twists off of the vault table that has a skill value of 7.0. I will show you the vault and then you will try the vault."

"Ok."

Anastasia walks to the end of the vault runway and then runs down the runway and jumps onto the springboard, then does a prefect front handspring onto the vault table into a tucked double front salto off the vault and sticks the landing with her back to the vault table. Anastasia walks off the landing mat and Payson walk up to the end of the vault runway thinking that Anastasia makes that vault look way too easy. Payson runs down the runs then jumps onto the springboard. She jumps up and does a front handspring onto the vault table with near prefect form and then does a tucked double salto off the vault table, she gets enough height off the vault table and almost has near-perfect form in the air, but when Payson lands with her back to the vault table she takes a large step forward on the landing.

"You almost have the vault down and that was your first time, but you need to work on the post flight form it was a little off and work on sticking the landing too."

"Ok."

"I will show you the next vault now."

Anastasia walks to the end of the vault runway and Payson walk off the landing mat and leans against the beam to watch Anastasia do the next vault. Anastasia start running down the runway and then does a roundoff onto the springboard into a half turn in preflight. Then does a front handspring onto the vault table, all with prefect form. Anastasia then does the layout triple twists off of the vault table with prefect form in post flight and stick the landing with her back to the vault table. Payson walks to the end of the vault runway and Anastasia walks off the landing mat and start to watch Payson, as she runs down the runway. Payson then does a roundoff onto the springboard and goes into a half turn in preflight to the vault table with prefect form in preflight. She then does a front handspring onto the vault table into the layout triple twists off of the vault table with prefect form in post flight and even stick the landing with her back to the vault table, but grabs a hold of her back after the landing.

"You look like you have done that vault before Payson."

"I been practicing that vault on my own for a while now, I am just happy that coach Walsh thinks I am ready to do one of the vaults named after you."

"Payson how is your back doing because you are holding your back and it looks like you are in a lot of pain?"

"It is hurting really badly."

At the same time Marty Walsh walk up to Payson and Anastasia and gives Payson a worried look.

"Payson's bent down and touch your toes and then slower rises."

"Sure."

Payson bends down and touch her toes and slower start to rise, but after a few feet she grabs her back and starts crying, then Payson sits down on the landing mat for the vault table. Marty and Anastasia kneel down in front of Payson and she looks up at her coach and teammate with tears running down her face, Marty is the first to say anything.

"Payson for the rest of today evening training I am having you sit out and I am going to have you sit out of training full routines on all four events this week and next week and I am only going to have you train uneven bars and that will be the only event you will be preform on at the norther open on April 18. After the meet on the eighteenth we will see how your back is feeling and if you are up to start training on more then just uneven bars."

"Ok."

Payson stands up and walks over to her locker and at the same time Anastasia goes and trains on the balance beam for the rest of the train session. Once the evening training session end Payson and Becca grab they gym bags and then leave the gym with they mom. Carter grabs his gym bag and Kaylie gym bag and then the two of them walk out of the gym, so Carter can take Kaylie home.

When the two teenage girls walk up to Anastasia's car, Lauren is staring at the car in shock because this the first time she sees the car up close. Anastasia and Lauren open up the doors of the two door sport car and toss they gym bags onto the back seat and then get into the car and close the doors of the car. Lauren looks around the car at the black interior as Anastasia's start the mustang. A few moments later Anastasia is driving away from the rock that is in the middle of Boulder Colorado and toward her parents house and IGA, which is on the outskirt of the city and in the country side. On the way to the Stren property Lauren rest her head against the head rest of the seat, when they reach the road the Stren property is on Anastasia drives by the first driveway and turn into the second driveway, Anastasia parks her car in the first parking space of the first row. A few minutes later Lauren and Anastasia are inside of IGA and are warm up on the floor mat before doing any routines. Ten minutes later Anastasia looks over at Lauren who is yawning.

"Lauren's are you sure that you are up to this?"

"Ahem yeah Ana, show me the beam routine first."

"Ok, but first how did your doctors' appointment go?"

"It went all right, the doctor did a rapid strep test, but it was negative, but he sends a sample Ah-choo to the lab for a throat culture because he thinks it was a false negative ahem I will know in a few days."

"Bless you."

"Thanks."

Lauren and Anastasia stand up and walks to the back of the building where the two competition balance beams are at, which are on the right-hand side if your back is to the main doors of the building.

"Lauren if you have a prefect routine with no mistakes, this routine has a difficult level that will get you a prefect score of seventeen and the goal is by 2012 you will be doing a roundoff onto the springboard into a back layout with a full twist, which is a g level skill."

"Sure."

Lauren and Anastasia walk over to their gym bags, which are next to the floor exercise mat and get their uneven bars grips and wristbands out of their gym bags.

"What is the difficult of the new uneven bar routine, Mrs. Stren?"

"If you do a prefect routine, you can get a score of seventeen."

"Cool that means that I have Ah-choo the same difficult level on uneven Bars as Ana! Sniffling, I will start training the new uneven bar routine in training tomorrow. Ah-choo and I love both of the routines. Ana can you give me a ride home now, I am starting to feel really bad and want to take a shower Ah-choo and go to bed?"

"Sure Lauren."

Lauren takes off her uneven bar grips and wristbands and then put the grips and wristbands into her gym bag. Then Lauren put her warm up jacket on and Anastasia puts on her warm up jacket and then put her pants on. A few minutes later Lauren is sitting on the passenger seat of Anastasia Ford Mustang GT and Anastasia is pulling out of the IGA driveway and onto the street. Lauren leans her head against the window and shut her eyes. A few minutes later Lauren has gone to sleep with her head against the car window. Lauren is still asleep when Anastasia pulls into the Tanner's driveway, Anastasia put her car into the parked position and then taps Lauren on her left shoulder, but Lauren does not wake up. Anastasia tap Lauren on the left shoulder five more time before Lauren wakes and starts looking around the car.

"Ahem, did I fall asleep?"

"Yes, but that is fine Lauren you are not feeling well and need your rest. I will see you tomorrow at training."

"Bye sees Ah-choo tomorrow."

"Bless you."

"Thanks and Ana do you have any tissues in your Ah-choo car?"

"Yes."

"Can I use some because Ah-choo need to blow my nose?"

"Sure."

Anastasia put her right arm between the two front seat and grabs the back of tissue off of the backseat and then hands the box of tissues to Lauren. Lauren pulls a handful of tissues out and set the box on the floor in front of the passage seat and then start to blow her nose into one of the tissue and when she blows a large amount of mucus come out. She blows her nose a second time and then puts the use tissues into the pocket of her warm up jacket. Then rest her head against the head rest of the seat and shut her eye. Anastasia looks over at Lauren and sees that she is shivering. Anastasia reaches over and put her right hand on Lauren's forehead, which feel very warm to the touch.

"Lauren's when you get inside I would take your temperature, because it feels like you are running a high grade fever."

"Ahem, I will Ana and thanks for Ah-choo give me a ride home."

"You are welcome."

Lauren grabs her gym bag off the back seat and then open up the car door and at the same time Mr. Tanner's open up the front door of the house. He then walks out the front door, as Lauren gets out off the car. Mr. Tanner walks over to the car and his daughter who is blowing her nose in a tissue again. Then Mr. Tanner looks through the open passengers' door.

"Thank you for giving Lauren a ride home from IGA after she learned the new beam and uneven bars routines."

Lauren close the car door and then Lauren and Mr. Tanner walks away from the car and toward the front door of the house. Anastasia waits until Lauren and Mr. Tanner has walks through the front door of the house and Mr. Tanner has closed the front door of the house, then Anastasia takes her car out of the parked position and check both way. When Anastasia gets a break in the traffic, she breaks out of the Tanner's driveway and heads home. At the same time Payson is laying on her bed in her bedroom with the heating pad on her back and is hoping that taking the rest of the week off of training and only training uneven bars next week will help her back, but has a feeling that she going to be sitting out of training vault, beam, floor and maybe even uneven bars after seeing the doctor in the morning and having an MRI, that she could end up sitting out a lot longer then two weeks. Meanwhile, at the Cruz house and in Kaylie's bedroom, Kaylie is fast asleep on her bed with the bedspread pull all the way up. At the Tanner's house Lauren has change into an oversized red nightshirt and is laying on her bed with the bedspread pulled up and the digital thermometer in her mouth and Mr. Tanner is sitting on the edge of the bed. Thirty second later the thermometer beeps and Mr. Tanner take the thermometer out of Lauren's mouth and he looks at the thermometer display.

"Lauren's your fever has gone up to 103.8 degree Fahrenheit, how are your feeling?"

"(Very hoarse) My tonsils and lymph nods have swelled up more, my throat is still very sore, I am achy all over, Ah-choo I can't stop sneezes, and have the chills too."

"I am going to go get a cool washcloth for your forehead and some Motrin IB caplets. Do you want anything to drink or eat?"

"Can you make me a warm cup of honey ah-choo water and heat me up a bowl of cream off mushroom soup?"

"Sure."

Mr. Tanner stands up from the bed and walks out of his daughters' bedroom. A half hour later Lauren is eating a bowl of cream of mushroom soup and she is drinking a glass of warm honey water. Over at the Stren house, Anastasia is sitting on her bed eating a grill chicken salad and listening to music.
The next morning at six o'clock in the morning Anastasia is the first to get to the rock. She put her gym bag into her locker. Then take off her white tennis shoe and set them in the locker. She then takes off her red warm up jacket and the matching warm up pants, to reveal a shine black tank leotard that has a v-neckline and a v-back, which has purple trims around the v-neckline and v-back and thick lines of purple down each side of the leotard, on the center of the chest of the leotard is purple crystals that form a swirl pattern on the leotard. Above the right leg of the leotard it says GK and above the GK it says Anastasia. Anastasia shut and locks her locker and then walks over to the floor exercise mat to start warming up. Anastasia has been run around the floor mat doing knee lifts after she makes a full pass around the floor for four minutes when the door from the lobby opens up and Lauren wearing a pair of black relaxed fitted warm up pants and also wearing a black relaxed fitted warm up jacket walks through the right door blowing her nose into a tissue. Lauren walks over to the locker and past the first locker that is Anastasia, past the second locker that is not in use, then past Payson's locker that is the third locker and up to the fourth locker that is her locker and Kaylie's locker is the fifth locker. Lauren open up her locker and then Lauren unzips her warm up jacket. She takes the jacket off and then hang the jacket up in her locker. Lauren takes her shoe off and then takes off her warm up pants to full reveal her shimmer sky-blue tank leotard, which has a keyhole back and there is a large sliver crystal star in the center of the chest of the leotard and the leotard is part of the Anastasia Woolley/Stren GK line. Lauren puts the warm up pants and shoes into her locker and unzips the front side pocket of her gym bag. She then pulls out of a couple packs of travel tissue's package. Lauren rezips the pocket on her gym bag and then close and locks up her locker, then open up one of the travel packs of tissues and pull out a tissue, Lauren then starts to blow her nose and at the same time sit down on the bench in front of the locker. A few minutes later Lauren walks over to the floor exercise mat and set the packs of tissues down on the floor beside the floor mat and then walks onto the floor mat. Lauren lays down on the floor and start warming up by doing V-ups. Five minutes later Kaylie walks into the training area of the rock wearing a hot pink tank leotard that has a scoop neckline and has neon purple swirl lines across the front and back of the leotard, with GK above the right leg and Anastasia above the GK. Kaylie is also wearing a pair of hot pink workout capris that has purple swirl on the side of the legs and are part of Anastasia Woolley/Stren GK line. Kaylie walks over to her locker to put her jacket and gym bag into the locker. Two minutes later Kaylie joins Lauren and Anastasia on the floor and start doing v-ups. Anastasia looks over at her teammate and can tell by looking a Kaylie that she feels better then yesterday, but can tell that Lauren is not feeling any better.

"Lauren how are you feeling this morning?"

"(Voice is a whisper) I feel awful Ah-choo, I was running a high grade fever all night and this morning my fever is 102.9 degree Fahrenheit. My Ah-choo tonsils and lymph node are very swelling and I have white spots all over my tonsils and throat and my throat is still really sore and I keep sneezes and having to blow my nose, sniffling Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah-choo!"

"(Kaylie and Anastasia) Bless you."

"Ahem thanks and how are you feeling this morning Kaylie, sniffling?"

"I feel better then yesterday, I haven't had diarrhea since five o'clock last night and I kept down the water I drink last night and so far this morning I keep down the apple juice and a piece of toast I eat down. Ana do you know where is Payson at?"

"Payson back was hurt really badly last night so she is going to the doctor today to have a MRI of her back to make sure it is just the herniated disk that they know about that cause the pain and not a more serious injury and to help determine how long she will have to sit out of training and rest her back."

Kaylie, Lauren and Anastasia stop talking and focus on warming up for the morning training session and thirty minutes later Marty Walsh who is wearing dark blue jean and a red polo shirt walk over to Lauren, Anastasia and Kaylie. The three gymnasts stop stretching and looks up at they're coach, who has a serious look on his face.

"Lauren, Ana and Kaylie I just get off the phone with Mrs. Keeler Payson will not be competing in the norther open next weekend on the eighteenth, so it will be the three of you and Becca Keeler competes for the rock, which means that all four of you will have to take part in all the events. Ana's I need you to start training on floor today if you think you are ready to?"

"Sure Coach Walsh I will do anything for the team."

"You are starting on floor exercise, I will spot you and you will start with the level a skill and work up to the e, f and g skills that are use in your routine."

"All right."

Anastasia readjusted the straps on her metallic gold Defiance III Female Fource ACL knee brace to make sure it is on tight, at the same time Marty Walsh looks at Lauren and Kaylie. Lauren reaches over to the packs of travel tissues and pull a tissue out of the open pack and starts blowing her nose, as Marty begins to talk again.

"Kaylie you are start on vault today, since you do not train on vault yesterday. Lauren's you are starting on uneven bars and I want you to training the new routine you learn yesterday on uneven bars and beam."

Kaylie and Lauren stand up and walk off the floor mat. Kaylie walks over to the vault table and at the same time Lauren pick up the packs of travel tissues and sets them by the first set of uneven that is nearest to the coaches' office. Lauren then goes and gets her uneven bar grips and wristbands out of her locker. At the same time Anastasia is standing in the left-hand corner of the floor mat and her back is to the pommel horse, vault table, beams and the uneven bars are to her right-hand side before the floor mat. Marty is standing off the floor mat on the area of the floors that is between the floor mat and the pommel horse and two beams.

"Ana start with a tucked salto forward."

"Ok."

Anastasia start running and after a few pace she does a roundoff into a back handspring into a back handspring. She then does a tucked forward salto and she sticks the landing. Anastasia's turn around so her back is to the edge of the mat and then start running across the floor mat again. After a few pace of running she does a roundoff into back handspring into a back handspring and then does a piked forward salto and sticks the landing. She turns around again, so her back to the edge of the mat.

"That enough tumbling for this morning, how is your knee feeling?"

"Fine."

"Good, but let not push it this morning, go work on uneven bars for the rest of the morning workout and let see how your knee is feeling this afternoon and depend on how your knee is feeling it will tell us if you are ready to start tumbling again."

"All right I will go get my uneven bars grips and wristband out of my locker."

Anastasia walks over to her locker and at the same time Marty walk over to the first set of uneven bars and sees that despite being really sick Lauren is pushing through it and doing a great job doing her new uneven bars routine. Marty then walks over to the vault and watching Kaylie and sees that despite running a fever since Saturday evening and not been able to keep any thing down from Sunday evening and being sick to her stomach all day yesterday, she is sticking all her vault landing despite being very weak from only keep a couple glasses of water, one glass of apple juice and a piece of toast down so far.
