Chapter four: GK Spring and Summer catalog

It is the Monday after the norther open, Anastasia walks into the rock at six o'clock in the morning with the shoulder strap of her gym bag on her right shoulder and wearing a plum GK racer back tank leotard, which has a large keyhole on the back of the leotard that show the center and lower part of the back and everyone can see Anastasia's tattoo that on her lower back because the keyhole ends at the base of the tattoo and there are a gold and silver strips that start at the right shoulder and go to the left leg hem of the leotard. She is also wearing a pair of purple relaxed fitted warm up pants and matching jacket, which is unzip. Anastasia sees Lauren who is wearing a GK tank leotard that top half is lime and lower half is black and has thin lime straps that cross in the back and a sliver jewel star above the left leg and sliver jewel swirls across the chest and back of the leotard and is part of Anastasia GK line, Kaylie who is wearing a GK tank leotard that has sheer nude shoulders and the rest of the leotard is a light pink with pink and purple jewels forming swirls across the front and back of the leotard and is part of Anastasia GK line. Becca Keeler who is wearing a GK tank leotard that has a v-neckline on the front and back and the hem of the v-neckline is purple, but the shoulders of the leotard are white. The rest of the leotard is purple with gold and sliver jewel stars that start at the top of the right shoulder, the stars cross the chest and go to the hem of the left leg. On the back of the leotard the stars start at the hem of the left leg and end at the top of the right shoulder. Above the hem of the right leg of the leotard it says Anastasia with GK under her name in white and also sees Payson who is wearing a purple long sleeved shirt and purple fitted warm up pants and the four of them are sitting on the landing mat that is under the first set of uneven bars and Anastasia's three friends and Becca Keeler is looking at GK Spring and Summer Catalog that has Anastasia and Austin Tucker U.S. male gymnast and the Olympic gold medalist on the front cover and throughout the whole catalog paired together. Anastasia then notices that Kim, Robin, Annie, Jade, Gina, and Brie are wearing the same leotard as Becca, but notice that Rachel is wearing a black tank leotard that has gold and sliver fabric strips that criss cross across the front and back of the leotard and has a sliver and gold stars on the right shoulder of the leotard and above the hem of the right leg say Anastasia and GK in white. Anastasia walks over to her teammates that are sitting under the first set of uneven bars and looks down at them and sees that Lauren looks tired and notice that Kaylie sounds congested and is paler then normal. At the same time Becca, Payson, Lauren and Kaylie look up at Anastasia.

"Becca, Lauren and Kaylie you should be stretching not looking at Payson's copy of the spring and summer GK catalog!"

Lauren looks up from the catalog and then looks at Anastasia and starts talking despite having a sore throat and very swelling tonsils again.

"Marty wants to talk with everyone before we start stretching, so all the gymnasts were waiting for you to get here, since everyone beside you was here. You are later then usually, because you normally get here before everyone else. Why are you running late today?"

"Andy and Ace have start toothing and Ace did not want anyone but me this morning, so I had to walk him over to IGA and then get him to go to sleep and lay him down in the playpen in my parent's office before I could leave to come here, Lauren."

"That a good reason to be running late sometimes family has to come first!"

Lauren stop talking and turn her head away from everyone and start coughing into her right elbow. At the same time Becca Keeler stands up and walk up to Anastasia and Becca has a huge smile on her face and Anastasia kneels down. Anastasia unties her tennis shoes and then takes the shoes off. Becca taps Anastasia on her left shoulder and Anastasia looks up at Becca who is now jumping up and down in front of her.

"What was it like spending the day with Austin Tucker at the photo shoot for the GK catalog and during the 2008 summer Olympics, what is Austin Tucker like and are the rumors about him dating more then one women at a time true and did he really have a hangover when he won the Olympics medals and the world championship medals?"

"One question at a time Becca! No, he was not hangover when he won the medals at the Olympics and the world Championships. He did show up to training sessions with hangovers, but did not show up to competition's with a hangover. He is a player when it comes to women, so yes the rumors of him dating more then one women are true and he does not date gymnasts. But he is nice, at lest he has always been nice to me when I need someone to talk with during the summer Olympics games about going from having a slight ACL tear before the games to having a complete tear ACL the night before the all-around, he listens to me talk and help me to make the decision to compete in the all-around and the event finals."

"(Payson, Kaylie and Lauren) Austin is the male gymnast that found you laying on the bathroom floor wrapped in your towel after your knee gave out coming out of the shower and falling because you were not wearing the ACL brace?"

"Yes he and my roommate were talking in the common room when I fall and the two of them heard me fall. Austin carried me out of the bathroom and into the bedroom and sat me on my bed. Then he went to found Marty, as my roommate got me a pair of short, shirt, underwear and bra to put on. Lauren's you keep looking at the picture of Austin standing behind me and held my legs, as I do a handstand on the blue spring floor mat and he is wearing the red compression shirt that has the black X on the back of the shirt, which has a black neckline, stripe on the side and an X in black on the back and a pair of black cut away shorts and I'm wearing the black crop top with shine purple side and scoop neckline that has gold jewels around the neckline and a pair of black nylon/spandex workout short that have shine purple that form two v shapes on the side of the legs. What are you thinking about?"

"Was Austin's hangover on the day of the GK photo shoot, because he has a green hue in all the pictures?"

"No, he was fighting a bad stomach bug."

"Ahem Ana's are you sure that he had a stomach bug and was not just saying that to hide the fact that he had a hangover?"

"Lauren's he was not hangover the day of the photo shoot, trusts me when I say that he had a stomach bug, he called me the Sunday morning of the photo shoot and had me pick him up from the Boulder bed and breakfast and give him a ride to the photo shoot because he was up all night throwing up and was running a high grade fever and was not up to driving himself to the Rocky Mountain Gymnastics Training Center for the photo shoot."

Marty Walsh walks out of his office and he is wearing a pair of black workout pants and a black T-shirt. He walks down the steps of the staircase, then walks over to the first set of uneven bars and at the same time the rest of the senior elite and junior elite gymnast walks over to the first set of uneven bars. Marty waits to everyone is sitting down on the floor around the uneven bars and then starts to talk.

"Lauren, Kaylie, Kim, Robin, Annie, Jade, Gina, Rachel and Brie I will be watching you today during the morning and afternoon training session and choose, which gymnasts will be going to the Fresno open with me, Becca Keeler and Ana that on May ninth in Fresno, CA and the eight of you will be starting on the floor."

"(Kaylie and Lauren) but that not a major competition, gymnasts from the YMCA or the YWCA and second rate clubs compete in the Fresno open and the gymnasts are mostly level ten and below, why does any of the senior and Junior elite have to go to the Fresno open?"

"It is a chance for the gymnasts who need more opportunity to preform their routines under pressure of a competition atmosphere to get another competition under their belt before the U.S. secret classic and the national championships. Kaylie after Saturday competition you are at the top of the list for going to the Fresno open, everyone but Payson's needs to start warming up for the morning training session and in thirty minutes Becca Keeler will be starting on the uneven bars, Ana will be starting on the beam and the gymnasts that I say are starting on the floor you will be working on tumbling passes."

Anastasia set her gym bag and shoe down by the stairs to the coaches' office and then takes off her pants and jacket. At the same time Lauren and Kaylie along with the rest of the gymnasts walk over to the floor mat and start warming up for the morning training session. Payson joins her mom in the parent viewing area and a few moments later Anastasia walks onto the floor mat. Anastasia start doing arm swings by Kaylie and Lauren, who is clearing her throat and trying not to cough.

"Lauren how are you feeling because you look tired, keep coughing and clearing your throat?"

"I am exhaust Ana. I had a dry hacking cough, a fever and swelling tonsils all day yesterday and by evening I was running a high grade fever and my tonsils were so swelling that it was hard to breathe or swallow a sip of water. My dad called our family doctor at home Ahem and he had my dad take me to the ER and he met us there. I was at the ER until two o'clock in the morning and I have to go see an ear, nose and throat specialty about having my tonsils removed, my dad is making me an appointment when the office open up at nine o'clock in the morning."

"That no fun, but you will feel a lot better once you have them out and you will get fewer sore throats. I had my tonsils taken out when I was five -years-old and since I had my tonsils out, I only had fewer sore throats and I do not get sick that often now. Before I had my tonsils out, I had strep throat or tonsilitis all the time and was put on antibiotics and I would only be off of the antibiotics a few days and then ended up get sick again and having to go back on antibiotic."

"That sounds like me this year, it seems like I get off antibiotic and then two or three ahem days later I am back on antibiotic because of having tonsilitis or strep throat."

Lauren and Anastasia stop talking and start doing stand hip circles, a few second later Lauren starts coughing and cover her mouth with her left elbow and Kaylie start sniffling. Twenty eight minutes later Anastasia walks over to the beam that is furthest from Marty office and Becca walks over to locker area and walk past the first seven lockers. Becca open up the eighth locker and then unzip her gym bag and pulls out a purple grip bag that look like a tiny gym bag out of her gym bag. Becca close the locker door and then walks over to the first set of uneven bars, as she unzips the grip bag. Becca gets her white wristbands out first and puts them on and then gets out her uneven bars grips that are white and have a buckle strap on top and a white velcro strap on the bottom. At the same time over at the spring floor exercise mat Kaylie, Rachel, Lauren, Kim, Robin, Annie, Jade, Gina and Brie are line up at the right-hand coroner of the mat if standing between the floor, beams and pommel horse and your back is to the beams and pommel horse and Marty Walsh is standing with his back to the uneven bars.

"Kaylie you are first and I want to see you do a backwards triple layout salto."

Kaylie steps onto the floor mat and then start to run, after a few pace she does a prefect roundoff into a prefect whip back into a perfect whip back and goes right into a backward triple layout salto, but her legs are apart during the backward triple layout salto and Kaylie takes several steps back on the landing.

"Do the backward triple layout salto again Kaylie and this time keep your legs together doing the layout salto and try to stick the landing."

"Yes, coach Walsh."

Kaylie runs a few pace and then does a roundoff into a wipe back into a whip back and goes right into backwards triple layout salto, but has weak form during the backwards triple layout salto and sits down on the landing. Kaylie stands up and looks at Marty Walsh, who does not look happy.

"Kaylie this is the tumbling pass you did not have any issues with at the norther open on Saturday, why can't you do it this morning?"

"I do not know, maybe my timing is off."'

"Try the tumbling pass again."

"Sure."

Kaylie runs across the floor a few pace and then does a prefect roundoff into a prefect whip back into a prefect whip back right into a backwards triple layout salto with prefect form in the air and lands the tumbling pass with only a small hop on the landing.

"You did better this time Kaylie go to the back of the line, but I want you to part in some time working on your tumbling after the afternoon training session today."

"Yes Coach Walsh."

Kaylie walks to the back of the line and Rachel steps onto the floor mat and looks at Marty, who is looking at her left ankle, which is wrapped with a black elastic velcro ankle wrap.

"How is your ankle feeling and has your doctor given you the green light to start training again?"

"The ankle feels great and yes I have been giving the green light to train as long as I have the ankle wrap."

"Then let see your tucked double salto forward."

Rachel start running and after a few pace does a roundoff into a whip back into a whip back and then goes right into a tucked double salto forward with almost prefect form and only a small hop forward on the landing.

"That is good for the first time tumbling in eight weeks, you can go to the back of the line."

Rachel walks to the back of the line and at the same time Lauren steps up onto the floor mat. A few seconds later Lauren covers her mouth with her right elbow and start coughing. Marty looks at Lauren, but wait to say anything until she stops coughing, which is a whole minute later.

"I want to see your two and half-tucked front punch."

"Ok."

Lauren clears her throat, then starts running across the floor mat. After a few pace, she does a roundoff into a back handspring into a back handspring and goes right into two and half-tucked front punch, but does not get enough height and under rotations. Lauren lands the tumbling pass on her knees, she stands up and turns so she is looking at Marty who is shaking his head at her.

"Do the tumbling pass again Lauren and this time land on your feet."

"Yes, coach."

Lauren takes a breath and then runs a few pace across the floor mat. Lauren then does a prefect roundoff into a prefect back handspring into a prefect back handspring into a perfect two and half-tucked front punch and sticks the landing. Lauren walks away from the line of gymnasts, coughing into her left elbow. Marty Walsh walks over to Lauren who has lean forward and has her hands on her knees and has shut her eyes. In addition Lauren is still coughing, Marty sees that Lauren face is turning bright red and that Lauren is having a hard time catching her breath.

"Lauren's go get a drink of water and take a few minutes to catch your breath, then get back in line."

Lauren shakes her head yes and walk over to the water cooler. Once she reaches the water cooler Lauren grabs a paper cup and fills the cup with water. Lauren then walks over to the staircase and sits down on the fifth step and takes a sip of water, but is not able to swallow the water, so she spit the water back into the cup. Lauren then set the cup on the step beside her and lean her head against the rail on the left-hand side if sitting on the steps. Lauren shut her eyes because her eyelids feel very heavy and is unable keep the eyelids open any longer. At the same time Kim sticks a prefect tucked double Arabian salto with a half turn for the first time.

"Great job Kim head to the back of the line."

Kim walks to the back of the line and gets in line behind Kaylie, who is looking over at Lauren and sniffling. At the same time Robin start run across the floor mat and after a few pace does a prefect roundoff into a prefect whip back into a prefect whip back and goes right into a prefect double piked salto backwards and sticks the landing. Annie goes and then Gina and both of them stick a prefect tuck double salto forward and then Brie sticks a prefect double tucked salto backwards, at the same time Lauren walk back over to the floor mat.

"Lauren, I want you to get in line behind Kaylie."

"(Sound hoarse) Ok."

Lauren gets into line between Kaylie and Rachel, then Lauren put her right hand onto her forehead, which feels clammy and at the same time Kaylie steps onto the floor mat. Marty Walsh looks at Lauren and then looks at Kaylie, who is waiting to be told what tumbling pass to do.

"Kaylie I want to see you do a tucked double Arabian."

Kaylie start running across the floor mat and after a few pace does a prefect roundoff into a prefect back handspring into an almost prefect back handspring into a tucked double Arabian, but lands the tumbling pass with her right knee locked and gets a stabbing pain in her right knee. Kaylie lean over and put her hands onto her knees until the pain stops and a few moment later stand up straight and looks at Marty who is giving her a worried look.

"Are you all right Kaylie?"

"Yes I am fine."

"Then try the tumbling pass again."

Kaylie start running across the floor mat and after a few pace does a prefect roundoff into a prefect back handspring, into a prefect back handspring then goes right into a prefect tucked double Arabian and sticks the landing. Marty does not say anything, so Kaylie walks to the back of the line and gets in line behind Brie and at the same time Lauren steps onto the floor mat.

"Lauren's I want to see you do a piked double salto backwards with a full twist into a tucked salto forward. "

Lauren does not say anything, but start running across the floor mat. After a few pace, Lauren does a prefect roundoff into a prefect back handspring into a prefect back handspring and goes right into a piked double salto backwards with a full twist, but has to stop to catch her breath before doing the tucked salto forward that is suppose to be connected to the piked double salto backwards with a full twist.

"Do the tumbling pass again without a pause between the last two skills."

"Ahem I will try."

Lauren start running across the floor and after a few pace does a prefect roundoff into a prefect back handspring into a prefect back handspring into a prefect piked double salto backwards with a full twist into a tucked salto forward but takes a large step forward on the landing. Lauren brings her left arm up and starts coughing into her elbow.

"That enough tumbling for now, I want all of you to start working on your dance skills and Becca Keeler you should get ready to leave because it is almost time to leave for school."

Becca swing forward on the high bar and lets go of the high bar. She then does a tucked salto backwards with a half turn into tucked salto forward and sticks the landing. She takes her uneven bar grips off and then takes off her wristbands. Becca then puts the grips and wristbands into the grip bag and a few minute's later Payson, Becca and Mrs. Keeler are walking through the doors and into the lobby. At the same time Lauren, Kaylie and Anastasia are standing at the water cooler and are drinking cups of water, in Lauren case trying to drink the water. Lauren looks at Kaylie who is leaning against the rail of the staircase with her right leg cross over her left leg.

"Ahem Kaylie how does your right knee feel?"

"Sniffling, the knee is a little sore, but it not going to stop me for training. I will ice the knee during the break and after the evening training session. How are you hold up Lauren, because you are looking pale and hardly have a voice, in addition you have been coughing a lot, it also seems like you are having a hard time breathing and a hard time drinking the cup of water?"

"Coughing, my throat very sore and my tonsils are so swell that it's very hard to breathe or to swallow. I thinking that I am running a high grade fever again too, because I have the chills and I am having coughing a hard time keep my eye's open and I just want to go to sleep. During the break between the morning train session and afternoon training session I am going to take a nap."

Kaylie and Anastasia both give Lauren a worried look and Anastasia put her left hand onto Lauren's forehead, which feels like its on fire and also feels clammy. Anastasia takes her hand off of Lauren's forehead and gives her friend and teammate another worry look. Anastasia looks around to see where Marty is at and then looks back at Lauren.

"Lauren's it feels like you are running a high grade fever, I would go to the restroom and splash some cool water onto your face or wet a paper towel down with some cool water and put the paper towel on your forehead for a couple minutes."

"Ahem that sounds like a good idea."

Lauren walks away from Kaylie and Anastasia and walks up to the lady's restroom door. Lauren open up the restroom door and walks into the restroom, then walks up to the first restroom sinks and gets a paper towel from the paper towel dispense. Lauren folds the paper towel and then turns on the restroom sink. Once the water is cool, she wets the paper towel down and then puts the paper towel onto her forehead. Lauren holds the paper towel onto her forehead with her right hand, at the same time walks over to the restroom door and then walks out of the restroom. Lauren walks over to the bench that is in front of the lockers and lays down on the bench. At the same time Kaylie starts training her leaps, jumps and turns that are in her floor routine and Anastasia has gone back to training on the beam. Five minutes later Lauren hears someone walking toward her, Lauren open up her eyes and turn her head to see Marty Walsh walking toward her. Marty kneels beside the bench and takes a long look at Lauren who has closed her eyes again.

"Lauren's you seem to be having trouble breathing and since you get here this morning you have been coughing a lot and the cough has gone from being a dry sound cough to a wet sound cough within the last thirty-five minutes. I hear you told Ana's that your tonsils are swelling up and you have been running a fever and went to the ER last night, how are you feeling?"

"Awful, coughing."

"Are you up to training the rest of the morning training session and do you think that you are going to feel up to training during the afternoon training session?"

Lauren who is still coughing shakes her head no and sits up on the bench. Lauren then rests her elbows on her knees and starts rest her head in her hands. At the same time the paper towel that was on Lauren's forehead falls to the floor. Marty puts his right hand onto Lauren's forehead, which feels like its on fire and is clammy too. Marty takes his hand off of Lauren's forehead and picks up the paper towel from the floor.

"Lauren did you drive here this morning or did your dad drop you off?"

"Ahem no, my dad dropped me off."

"I am going to head up to my office and give your dad a call and asks your dad to come pick you up. How about you come up to the office and lay down on the couch until your dad gets here."

"That sound great coughing."

Marty stands up and at the same time Lauren stands up from the bench. Then Marty and Lauren walk over to the staircase that leads up to the office. Marty runs up the stairs and into the office to call Mr. Tanner and Lauren slower walks up the stairs and when Lauren gets to the landing of the staircase, she has to stop walking because she can't catch her breath. A few moments later Lauren walks into the office and look at the black couch, which is up against the wall across from the door on the right-hand side of the office if your back is to the door, Marty Walsh's desk is to the left-hand side of the room and when he sitting at his desk he is looking at a widow that looks out at the start of the vault runway, behind the desk is a copy machine, filing cabinet and a bookcase. Lauren grabs a tissue from the box of tissues that is set on top of the black console table with cabinets on each end and three drawers in the center, the console table is up against the wall on the left-hand side if you are standing in the doorway and also grabs the tissue's box with her left hand and then walks over to the couch coughing into the tissue that in her right hand. Once Lauren stops coughing, she lays down on the couch. Lauren head is resting on the arm of the couch that is at the right end of the couch, if standing in front of the couch looking at the couch, Lauren then shut her eyes. At the same time Lauren hope that she will be able to rest, a minute later Marty hang up the phone and then stands up from his desk chair.

"Your dad will be here in fifteen to thirty minutes from now, he has to finish up the meeting that he is having with a client and then he will be here."

"Ok, but who is he have a meeting with this early in the morning, normally he does not coughing have any meeting before ten."

"He is meeting with someone that had to meet with him before going to work himself or herself."

"Ok."

"Try to get some rest Lauren and I hope you feel better soon."

"Ahem I will try."

Marty walks toward the office door and when he gets to the door he stops and looks over at Lauren who has already fallen to sleep. Marty turns the lights off, then walks out of the office and shut the door behind him. Meanwhile in the training area Anastasia is standing at the end of the beaming looking toward the coaches' office, when Marty Walsh start walking down the steps of the staircase, Anastasia's does a full turn with her right leg horizontal in front of her and goes right into a full turn with right leg held in spilt during the turn. Anastasia's goes right into a triple Illusion turn (Woolley/Stren), then does a switch spilt ring leap with a full turn (Woolley/Stren two). Anastasia's then lower down toward the beam into a tuckstand and does a double turn that ends with her right leg in spilt position on the beam. Anastasia's rises up and does a tucked back salto with a double twist (Woolley/Stren three) into a tucked Arabian salto with a half twist and she is now facing where the springboard was at, which is at the end of the beam looking at Marty office before one of assistant coach moved the springboard and goes right into a walkover backwards then jumps backward with a half twist into a walkover forward with a stepout. Anastasia's back is to where the springboard was at, she then jumps forward with a half twist into salto backwards and now is looking at where the springboard was at. She then lowers down toward the beam into a tuckstand and does a triple turn, then rise up and does a back handspring into a layout back salto that has a two-feet landing on the beam and is at the end of the beam. Anastasia then does a front pike salto with a two-feet take off, then push off the beam into a double front salto dismount (Woolley/Stren four) and sticks the landing with her back to the beam. Kaylie walks over to the beam that Anastasia just dismounts from with a huge smile on her face.

"Ana's you make that routine look way too easy."

"I have been doing the routine since the start of the 2007 competition season that is why I am able to make the routine look easy."

Marty Walsh walks up to Kaylie and Anastasia and stops next to Anastasia and Kaylie and then he turns toward the spring floor exercise mat and looks at the gymnasts working on their jumps, turns and leaps that are in their floor routines.

"The gymnasts that are working on the floor I want you to come over to the beams and Ana I want you to training your vaults now."

Anastasia walks over to the start of the vault runway and the rest of the gymnasts walks over to the beams. Kaylie, Kim, Rachel, Robin, Annie, Jade, Gina and Brie line up beside the two beams and Marty is now standing between the vault runway and the beams and he is looking at the eight gymnasts that are line up in front of the beams.

"Kaylie's hop up onto the beam, nearest to my office and I want to see you do a front pike salto with a take off from one foot to land in an arabesque."

Kaylie walks up to the beam nearest to the office and then hops up onto the balance beam. Kaylie pushes off the beam with her right foot and goes into the front pike salto and land on her right foot and in an arabesque, but lose her balance and slip off the beam.

"Kaylie's hop back up on the beam and try that skill again."

"Can I take a restroom break first?"

"Sure."

"Thanks."

Kaylie walks away from her teammates and coach and walks up to the door of the lady's restroom. Kaylie open up the restroom door and walks into the restroom, shutting the restroom door behind her, Kaylie then leans against the door for a few minutes with her left hand on her forehead. Kaylie puts her right hand up to her right ear and start rubbing around the ear, because the ear is hurting really badly. At the same time Kaylie walks over to the first restroom sink and looks into the mirror that is above the sink, Kaylie notices that she is looking a little pale. Kaylie takes her left hand off her forehead, but continue to rub around her right ear thinking my right ear has been hurting since Friday night and I have been having balance issues since Saturday morning and I had a stuffy nose since last night this can't be good, I can't afford to get sick again. Kaylie starts sneezes and covers her nose and mouth with her hands and walks over to the first stall. Once Kaylie stop sneezes she pulls some toilet paper off the toilet paper roll. Then blows her nose into the toilet paper several time. A few moments later Kaylie walks over to the trash can that is before the first restroom sink. Kaylie then throws out the used toilet paper from blowing her nose. Kaylie turns on the first sink and washes her hands, after drying her hand and throwaway the paper towel Kylie turns, so her back is to the sink and leans against the sink. Kaylie then shuts her eyes and start thinking should I tell Marty that I have an earache, balance issues and stuffy nose and that I have start sneezes too, at the same time Anastasia walks into the restroom and walks over to Kaylie, who opens her eyes and looks to see who has come into the restroom.

"Marty asks me to come and check on you because it has been five minutes since you ask to take a restroom break."

"I have been in the restroom for five minute already, I must have lost track of time."

Kaylie start sniffling and at the same time Anastasia take a long look at Kaylie who is walking into the first stall. Kaylie pulls some toilet paper off the roll and start blowing her nose into the toilet paper. When Kylie stops blowing her nose, Kaylie throws the used toilet paper into the trash can and then lean up against the restroom wall and shut her eyes.

"Can you feel my forehead and tell me if it feels like I am running a fever?"

"Sure."

Anastasia puts her left hand onto her teammates' forehead, which feels a little warm, as Anastasia takes her hand off of Kaylie's forehead Kaylie start rubbing her right ear with her right hand and start sniffling again.

"It feels like you are running a low grade fever Kaylie and you sound congested and keep sniffling, along with rubbing your right ear. Are you feeling all right?"

"My right ear has been hurting since Friday night and been having balance issues since Saturday morning and had a stuffy nose since last night and now i am sneezing and I have blown my nose a few times along with sniffling a lot, but I feel ok I guess."

"Then we should get back to training Kaylie, before Marty start knocking on the restroom door."

"Sniffling ok."

Kaylie and Anastasia walk over to the restroom door and then the two teenagers leave the restroom. Anastasia goes back to training on the vault and Kaylie walks over to Marty and the gymnasts that are training on the beams and see that Gina is on the beam nearest to the office and Rachel is on the other beam. Kaylie gets back in line and at the same time Marty looks at Kaylie.

"Kaylie I want you to move one of the low beams onto the floor mat and train on the low beam until I tell you otherwise."

"Ah-choo, ok coach."

"Bless you Kaylie and I hope you are not catching the cold Tessa Grande competed with on Saturday or what Lauren has."

"Thanks and I hope that I am not catching what they have either."

Kaylie walks away from her coach and teammate sniffling and goes over to the low beams that are up against the wall by the spring floor mat and picks up one of the low beams. She moves the low beam to the center of the floor mat and then set it down on the floor mat. Kaylie then steps up onto the center of the low beam and push off of the beam with her right foot and goes into the front pike salto. Kaylie land on her land right foot in an arabesque and has a balance check on the landing, but does not fall off the low beam. Kaylie then does a tuck back salto with a full twist, but has weak form during the skill and has a balance check on the landing, then slip off the low beam and onto the blue floor mat. Kaylie then starts sneezes and covers her mouth and nose with her left elbow. Once she stops sneezes Kaylie steps up onto the low beam and does the tuck back salto with a full twist again and this time has prefect form during the skill and sticks the landing. Then does a tucked Arabian salto with a half twist and now her back is to the two competition beams and is facing the blue wall that is across from the two competition beams if standing in the center of the floor mat with your back to the beams. Kaylie then does a layout stepout into a back layout step out salto but does not do the full twisting swing down to a cross straddle sit on the beam, seeing that she is on the low beam, but does sit down on the low beam in the straddle sit and feels a sneeze coming on, but sniffling instead and that prevents her from sneezes. At the same time does a back walkover from a sitting position with a full turn (Valdez's with a full turn). Kaylie lowers her right leg first and then lower her left leg. Kaylie then does a full turn with her left leg hold in a spilt position into a wolf jump with a full turn. Kaylie then does an aerial walkover, but has a balance check, when she gets her balance Kaylie does a sheep jump with weak form and is at the end of the beam nearest to the two competition beams. Kaylie does the sheep jump again, but still has weak form and this time slips off the low beam and lands on her knees on the blue floor mat. Kaylie stands up and gets back onto the low beam and does the sheep jump again and this time has prefect form, but has a balance check on the landing. Kaylie then does a half turn so her back is to where the two competition beams are and then does a roundoff with weak form into a layout back salto with a full twist, but loss her balance and slips off the low beam. Carter 's who is wearing a black racer back compression shirt and black nylon/spandex competition short and has just dismounts from the still rings looks over at Kaylie. Carter can tell by looking at her that his girlfriend is not feeling well and is having a bad training session. At the same time Kaylie steps back onto the low beam and does the roundoff into the layout back salto with a full twist and this time has prefect form throughout both of the skills and sticks the landing of the layout back salto with a full twist. Kaylie is now at the other end of the beam, Kaylie pauses for a few moments and sneeze a few times then does a roundoff into a back handspring into a back handspring, but does not do the double tuck back salto with a full twist off of the beam, seeing that she is on the low beam. At the same time Mr. Tanner wearing a white dress shirt, black suit jacket and black suit pants walks into the training area and looks around, but he does not see his daughter, so Mr. Tanner walks over to Marty.

"Where is Lauren at Marty?"

"She is resting on the couch in the office Steve."

Mr. Tanner walks away from Marty and the gymnasts that are training on the beams and walks over to the staircase that leads up to the office. Once Mr. Tanner reaches the office door, he open up the door and walks into the office. Mr. Tanner turns on the light to see Lauren is asleep on the couch. He walks out of the office and head to the locker area and gets Lauren gym bag, shoes, warm up pants and jacket out of his daughters' locker. A few minutes later Steve Tanner walks into the office, Steve set his daughter gym bag on the floor by the couch and then sits down on the edge of the couch beside his daughter and taps her on the right shoulder and Lauren open up her eyes to see her dad.

"Get up and put on your pants and jacket on and then put your shoes on, so I can get you home and to bed."

"Ahem that sounds good to me dad coughing."

Lauren sits up on the couch and Steve stands up from the couch, Lauren then puts her legs over the side of the couch. Steve hands his daughter the black fitted warm up pants that have a low rise fold-over waistband and lime side piping. Lauren takes the pants from her dad, but does not stand up from the couch. Lauren just pulls the pants onto her legs and when she can't get the pants up any further without stands up, she stands up then pull up the pants the rest of the way. A few moments later Lauren takes the warm up jacket that has lime piping on the shoulders, arms and side of the jacket and put the jacket on and then zip up the jacket because she is really cold and is shivering. Steve then picks up his daughters' gym bag and Lauren sits down on the couch to put her shoes on. But Lauren start coughing before she can put the shoes on, a few minutes later Lauren stops coughing and picks up her right shoe and puts on the white tennis shoe. A few minute later Mr. Tanner and Lauren walk out of the office and down the staircase. At the same time Kaylie and Anastasia stop training and watch Lauren slower follow her dad to the doors of the lobby and Kaylie is thinking to herself I wish that I could go home and rest. Once Lauren is through the door and in the lobby Anastasia start running down the vault runway, she runs onto the springboard and jump off the springboard and does a front handspring onto the vault table. Anastasia then does a tucked triple salto with a full twist on the last salto off of the vault and sticks the landing of the vault, which is named after her. Meanwhile, outside Lauren's has got into her dad 2009 black Cadillac Escalade, which is his work vehicle. Mr. Tanner has just shut the back door on the driver side of the SUV after putting his daughters' gym bag on the back seat. Mr. Tanner 's open up the driver door of his Cadillac Escalade and gets into the SUV. He puts the keys into the SUV ignition and start up the SUV, but before taking the SUV out of the parked positions he looks over at Lauren. He sees that Lauren has lean the passenger seat back and that his daughter eyes are close. Mr. Tanner knows that his daughter must feel awful since she agreed to leave training. Mrs. Tanner looks at the clock on the dashboard of the SUV and sees that its going on eight-thirty. Hee takes the SUV out of park and then looks both ways, when he knows that no one is coming Mr. Tanner backs the SUV out of they reserved parking space and then drives to the entrance/exit of the training center. As Mr. Tanner is driving to his and Lauren's house, he is listening to Lauren breathing, which is very rough and every few minutes she starts coughing and holding her throat with the hand that is not covering her mouth. Ten minutes later Mr. Tanner pulls the SUV into the driveway of they house and puts the SUV into the parked position. He then looks over at Lauren who has sit the seat up, but has not open up the door of the SUV yet.

"Do you have to go back to work or can you coughing stay home with me and did you get me in to see Dr. Kovac today?"

"No, Dr. Kovac is at Boulder memorial hospital today performing surgery, I made you an appointment for tomorrow morning at ten o'clock and I was planning on going back to work. Do you want me to stay home, if you do I will call Summer Van Horne and I will have her reschedule all of my meeting for the rest of day?"

Before Lauren can say anything, she starts coughing. Lauren covers her mouth with her right hand and starts holding her throat with her left hand. Mr. Tanner looks over at his daughter and notice that her face is turning bright red and the more she coughs the rough Lauren's breathing becomes and he also notices that Lauren lips are starting to have a blue hue.

"Dad's I'm having trouble breathing!"

"I am taken you to the ER."

Mr. Tanner puts his SUV into reverse and back out of the driveway and a few moments later he is driving toward Boulder memorial hospital ER. When Mr. Tanner pulls his SUV up to the doors of the ER eighteen minutes later, Lauren is gasping for air. Mr. Tanner puts the SUV into the parked position and then open up the door. He gets out of the SUV and runs into the ER, which all the walls are tan on the top and blue on the lower half. Mr. Tanner grabs a wheelchair and then he pushing the wheelchair out to his SUV. A few minutes later he is pushing his daughter into the ER in the wheelchair. Mr. Tanner pushes the wheelchair up to the admitting desk and the nurse at the desk stop working on paperwork when she hears Lauren gasping for air. The nurse that is around thirty years old and has red medium length hair pulled into the ponytail, browns eyes and is five feet tall and wearing purple scrub with pink roses on them, stands up from the chair she was sitting on and then walk around the desk and up to Mr. Tanner and Lauren. Lauren looks at the nurse name tag and sees that her name is Shannon Reed.

"Let get you settled into an exam room and put you on some oxygen to help your breathing."

The nurse takes over pushing the wheelchair and takes Lauren into exam room number one. Mr. Tanner waits in the hallway as the nurse help Lauren out of the wheelchair and help her change into a white hospital gown. After getting Lauren into bed, the nurse listens to Lauren lungs to check for fluid and Lauren lungs sound a little wet. The nurse puts a nasal cannula into Lauren's nose and then turn the oxygen on. Then the nurse takes Lauren temperature with an ear thermometer and when the thermometer beeps, she makes a note on the chart that says Lauren is running a fever of a hundred and three-point nine degrees Fahrenheit. The nurse walks away from Lauren bedside and up to the door of the exam room and let Mr. Tanner into the room. He sees his daughter laying on the hospital bed, with the light blue sheet and blanket pull all the why up and her arms are under the sheet and blanket. Mr. Tanner walks toward the bed, which headboard is up against the white wall that is on the left-hand side if you are standing in the door and notice that the back of the bed is rise and the nurse has put a nasal cannula into his daughter nose and started her on oxygen. Mr. Tanner reaches his daughter bedside and takes her right hand.

"Your daughter has started to get fluid in her lung and is running a fever of a hundred and three-point nine degrees Fahrenheit."

"That is not good, Lauren fever went up during the last few hours. When our family doctor released her at two o'clock this morning Lauren did not have fluid in her lungs, but the doctor told me to keep an eye on her, because he said it sounding like the cold was moving into her lungs."

"The Ear, Nose and throat specialist will be in to see Lauren when he gets out of surgery, which should be soon. Mr. Tanner's I need you to come out to the waiting area and fill out some paperwork and then you can come back and sit with Lauren."

"Ok and Lauren's I will be back in a few minutes."

"That fine dad."

The nurse and Mr. Tanner leave the exam room and at the same time Lauren shuts her eyes. Five minutes later Mr. Tanner walks back into the exam room that Lauren is in and he sits down on the chair next to the bed. A few minutes later a male doctor that is six feet tall with black hair and hazel eyes' walks into the exam room wearing a pair of blue scrub pants and a blue scrub shirt and a white lab coat with his name sews above the pocket that is on the right side of the lab coat over the chest.

"I am Dr. Kovac and I am an Ear, Nose and throat specialist, Nurse Reed told me that you have fluid in your lungs, your tonsils are very swell and that you are having trouble breathing, do you mind if I take a look at your throat Lauren?"

"Ahem no."

Dr. Kovac walks toward Lauren bedside and he pulls a penlight out of the chest pocket of the lab coat. Once he reaches the bed Dr. Kovac set Lauren chart down on the bed and turns the penlight on, at the same time Lauren open up her mouth. The doctor shines the penlight into Lauren's throat and sees that Lauren tonsils have swelled up to the point that the tonsils have begun to cut off Lauren's airway. He turns the penlight off and puts the penlight back into his lab coat pocket, at the same time Lauren close her mouth. The doctor pick up Lauren hospital chart and start to read the chart and he sees that Lauren was in last night too because of having troubles breathing as a result of having very swelling tonsils and that her family doctor that came into examining Lauren had given Lauren a referral to come to his office for an appointment. He then notices a note that say that Lauren had only being off antibiotic a few days when Dr. Smith put her back on them last night and that since September of last year, along with the last three months and three weeks Lauren has been on antibiotic for tonsilitis or strep throat twenty days in each month. Dr. Kovac also sees a note on Lauren's chart about her been an elite gymnast and that she is not allowed to take steroids. Dr. Kovac looks at Lauren and then looks at her dad.

"I think that it would be best for Lauren to have her tonsils removed sooner then later, in fact I do not want her going home until she had them removed."

"When can Lauren have her tonsils out Dr. Kovac because this is the competition season and Lauren need to get back to training soon?"

"I can squeeze Lauren in today. I have a few hours until my next surgery. I will see if I can get an operation room."

"Thank you."

Dr. Kovac walks out of the exam room taking the chart with him and few minutes later Dr. Kovac comes into the exam with Nurse Reed and Nurse Reed is pushing a medical gurney and the nurse pushes the gurney up next to the hospital bed. Dr. Kovac walks up to Lauren dad.

"I get operation room number three, Nurse Reed is going to take Lauren to the pre-operative area and get Lauren ready to have the tonsillectomy."

"Can I go to the pre-operative area with them?"

"Yes and I will check in with Lauren and you in the pre-operative area before taking Lauren back for surgery."

"Ahem Dr. Kovac how long will I have to miss training for?"

"The normal recover time is around a week and normally I have patients sit out of strenuous activities for two weeks."

"Dad's I can't miss two weeks of training!"

"I say normally I have patients sit out of strenuous activities for two weeks, but for you I will have you come into my office on Friday and see how you are doing and take it from there, but you will have to sit out of gymnastics tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday Morning, you might be able to go back to training Friday afternoon, but I am not promise you anything right now."

"OK."

"Do not worry Lauren I will call Marty Walsh and let him know that you are having a tonsillectomy this morning and will not be able to train and I am sure that Dr. Kovac can write a doctor note for Marty if he wants one."

"Yes, I can give Lauren a doctor note for her coach if he wants one. I need to go get ready for surgery now."

Dr. Kovac walks out of the exam room and at the same time Lauren switch from the hospital bed to the gurney and a few minutes later the nurse is pushing the gurney that Lauren is laying on toward the elevator and Mr. Tanner is walking next to gurney to head up to the surgery floor and to the pre-operative room, which is on the fifth floor of the hospital. Meanwhile, at the Rocky Mountain Gymnastics Training Center there is only an hour left of the morning training session that goes from six until ten o'clock in the morning. Kaylie has stop working on the low beam and is about to starting training her floor routine. Anastasia has stop training because Marty has asked her to spot Kaylie and give her pointer on the skills in her floor routine that Kaylie is having trouble with. Anastasia has put on her warm up pants and is now put on her warm up jacket, at the same time Kaylie steps onto the floor mat and then walks a few feet away from the right-hand coroner of the floor mat. Kaylie sits down on the floor and she goes into straddler splits (side spilt) and her back is to Anastasia. Anastasia sees that Kaylie is ready and turns on the CD Player and then puts the CD with the instrumental version of another one bite the dust into the CD player. When the song start playing Kaylie punches the floor with both hands then does a press to a handstand and lowers her right leg first and then lowers her left leg, but stumblers when her left foot touches the floor. Kaylie then does a double turn with her left leg horizontal in front of her, but has weak form during the turn. Kaylie goes right into double turn with her left leg held in spilt position, but stumblers out of the turn. Then does a prefect split leap with one and half turns that take her into the right coroner of the floor mat and her back is to the edge of the mat. Before Kaylie can do her first tumbling passes, she starts sneezes. Anastasia pauses the music and Kaylie end up sneeze eight times in a row. Once Kaylie has stop sneeze Anastasia unpause the music and then Kaylie starts running across the floor and after a few pace does a roundoff into a whip back into a whip back and goes right into a backwards triple layout salto, she lands the tumbling pass with her back to the edge of the mat, but takes several large steps back on the landing and goes off the mat. Kaylie steps back onto the mat and then does a spilt jump with a full turn into a pike salto forward, then Kaylie start running across the floor mat. After a few pace, Kaylie does a roundoff into a back handspring into a back handspring then does a double Arabian tucked, but steps out of bounds and falls onto her knees. Kaylie stands up and walks back onto the floor mat, sniffling. Kaylie does a switch split leap with a half turn and her back is to the edge of the floor mat and then does a triple turn with her left leg below horizontal into a double Illusion turn on her right foot. Kaylie then starts punching the air as she runs over to the left-hand corner. Kaylie runs across the floor mat and after a few pace does a roundoff into a whip back into a whip back into a layout salto forward and stumbles out of the landing and then take a few steps backward. Kaylie then runs across the floor mat a few pace does a roundoff into a whip half into a whip half and goes right into a tucked double salto forward with a half twist into a spilt jump to end the routine. Kaylie walks over to Anastasia, who is turning off the CD player, which is by the uneven bars. When Kaylie reach Anastasia and the CD player, she grabs her water bottle, which is pink with black silhouettes of gymnasts doing cartwheel and split handstand and say Kaylie in the center and the water bottle and the water bottle was set on the floor by the CD. Kaylie takes the black cap off of the water bottle and takes several drinks of water, then puts the cap back onto the water bottle. Kaylie looks at Anastasia and at the same time is trying to catch her breath, a few moments later Kaylie starts talking to Anastasia.

"So what do you think I am doing wrong and what Ah-choo can I do to improve the routine before the national championship Ana?"

"It is a new routine and I think that you need to practice the routine more to get more numbers under your belt."

"What about the Ah-choo mistakes I made on the leaps, jumps, the turns or the mistakes Ah-choo that I made on the tumbling passes?"

"Bless you and you need to control the landing of the tumbling passes more, which means training the tumbling passes more and your need to stop stumbling out of the leaps, turns and jumps."

"Ok, do you know what time it is Ana?"

"No, but it should be near the end of the training session."

At the same time Carter walks over to Anastasia and Kaylie and the two teenagers' girls look at him. Carter smiles and Anastasia and Kaylie and then looks over at Marty to make sure he is busy and Carter sees that Marty has his back to them watching Brie on the beam. At the same time Kaylie takes the cap off her water bottle and takes a drink of water.

"There are still fifth-eight minutes left of the morning training session. Do you want me to give you a ride home after training, so you can rest during the break since I drive you to training this morning Kaylie?"

"Sniffling, yes I want you to give me a ride Ah-choo home after training Carter."

"Bless you, Kaylie."

"Thanks Carter."

"Carter stops talking to Kaylie and Ana. Kaylie's you need to work on your tumbling passes and Ana spot Kaylie. Carter's go to the annex and start training on the parallel bars."

Carter walks away from Kaylie and Anastasia and goes to put his shoes on, so he can head outside and to the annex building to train on the parallel bars. Kaylie takes a few more drinks of water and then puts the cap onto her water bottle. Kaylie then set the water bottle down on the floor and start to walk over to the floor mat, but stops and turns around. Kaylie then walks away from Anastasia and walks past Marty, and the gymnast waiting to go on the beam. Kaylie walks over to the lady's restroom door and when she reaches the lady's restroom door, Kaylie open up the door of the restroom and walks into the restroom. Kaylie walks up to the first stall and pulls some toilet paper off the toilet paper roll and blows her nose several time and is thinking to herself I am starting to feel miserable because of the earache, stuffy nose, sneeze and now my throat has started to hurt. She tosses the used toilet paper into the tash can and then pulls some more toilet paper off the roll. Kaylie blows her nose into the toilet paper several more time, hope that she just has an earache and a head cold and nothing worse. A few minutes later Kaylie walks out of the restroom and toward the floor rubbing her right ear, Marty watches Kaylie walking past him and he knows that Kaylie is trying to hide how bad she is feeling and that Kaylie is going to push through the morning training session.

"Kaylie comes over here for a minute."

Kaylie stops walking and turns around and looks at Marty Walsh and also stops rubbing her right ear. She then walks over to her coach sniffling and fighting the urge to sneeze. When Kaylie reaches Marty, she looks at her coach and then cover her mouth and nose with both hands and start sneezing into her hand, Marty waits to say anything until Kaylie has stops sneezing.

"Do you have an earache because you were rubbing your right ear and how are you feeling because you keep sneezing and sniffling?"

"I feel fine Coach Walsh, I just have a minor head cold is all and I not coming down with what Lauren has. I will go back to training now because I need to train my tumbling passes and leaps, jumps and turns in my floor routine so I have them down Ah-choo before the national championship."

Kaylie walks away from Marty before he can say anything to her and runs over to the spring floor exercise mat, thinking why did I lie to Marty and say that I just have a minor head cold, when my right ear is killing, I keep sneezing, can't stop sniffling and my throat is really sore. Kaylie runs onto the floor and then runs a few feet away from the right-hand corner of the floor mat and sits down on the floor, then goes into straddler splits and like before her back is to Anastasia.

"Ana's I am going to do my whole floor routine again will you turn the music on?"

"Sure Kaylie."

Anastasia turns on the CD Player and when the instrumental version of another one bite the dust start playing Kaylie punches the floor with both hands then does a press to a handstand and lowers her right leg first, then lowers her left leg and has prefect form through the whole skill. Kaylie then does a double turn with her left leg horizontal in front of her with prefect form. Kaylie goes right into double turn with her left leg held in spilt position and has prefect form in the turn. Kaylie then does a prefect split leap with one and half turns that take her into the right corner of the floor mat and her back is to the edge of the mat. Kaylie starts running across the floor and after a few pace does a roundoff into a whip back into a whip back and goes right into a backwards triple layout salto, she lands the tumbling pass with her back to the edge of the mat and only takes a small step back on the landing.

Kaylie then starts punching the air as she runs over to the left-hand corner of the mat, Kaylie then runs across the floor mat and after a few pace does a roundoff into a whip back into a whip back into a layout salto forward and sticks the landing. Then run across the floor mat and few pace does a prefect roundoff into a prefect whip half into a prefect whip half and goes right into a prefect tucked double salto forward with a half twist into a prefect spilt jump to end the routine. The music ends and Kaylie walks over to Anastasia and picks up her water bottle. Kaylie takes the cap of the water bottle and take a long drink of water.

"That was a lot better Kaylie, do you want to do the routine again and see if you can do it better?"

"Sniffling, yes."

Kaylie takes another drink of water and then puts the cap on her water bottle. She set the water bottle down on the floor, then walks over to the floor mat. Meanwhile at around nine thirty in the morning at Boulder memorial hospital Summer Van Horne who is wearing a white blouse, a black a-line skirt that is to the knees in length and black five inches high heels walks into the surgery floor waiting room and sees Steve Tanner sitting on the chair nearest to the doors that leads to the operation rooms. Summer walks over to Steve and sits down on the seat next to Steve.

"Has Lauren already been taken into surgery?"

"Yes, she was taking back into surgery a few minutes ago and the surgery should only take about twenty minutes. When the surgery is over Dr. Kovac, will come out and let me know how the surgery has gone and when I go back to the recovery room and be with Lauren. Were you able to reschedule all my meeting for today and tomorrow?"

"Yes, I have rescheduled them for next week, If you need me to reschedule Wednesday, Thursday and Friday meeting call and I will reschedule them for you."

"Thank you, I should be back in the office by Wednesday, but if I can't make it into work the rest of the week I will let you know."

"Do you want me to sit with you while Lauren is in surgery?"

"Yes that would be really nice, I am so nervous Lauren never had to have surgery before."

"I am sure that Lauren will be fine Steve. Have you talk to Marty about Lauren missing training?"

"No I am waiting to the morning training session is over and then I will call him."

Summer and Steve stop talking and Steve take a hold of Summer right hand, the two of them look around the waiting room. Then the two of them start prayer that Lauren surgery will be successful and she will make it through the surgery without any complications. At ten o'clock, Dr. Kovac walks into the surgery waiting room and over to Mr. Tanner and Summer.

"Lauren is in recovery room Mr. Tanner. The surgery went fine, but Lauren oxygen level is still low because of the fluid in her lungs, I still have her on oxygen through the nasal cannula and I have put her on IV antibiotic. I am going to admit Lauren into the hospital for today, Tuesday and maybe Wednesday."

"When can I go back to see my daughter?"

"In a few minutes a nurse will come back and show you to the recovery room."

"Ok."

Dr. Kovac walks away from Mr. Tanner and walks through the doors that leads to the operation rooms. Summer looks at Steve and then looks toward the doors of the waiting room.

"Steve's I am going leave and head back to the office if you need anything just call me."

"Ok and thank you for sitting with me."

"You are welcome."

Summer stands up from the seat and then walks out of the waiting room. At the same time Carter who is now wearing a pair of light blue jean and a long sleeve T-shirt and is driving toward Kaylie parents' mansion to take her home. Kaylie is sitting on the passenger seat of the jeep and has leaned the passenger seat back and is resting as Carter drives to her home. When Carter pulls his jeep into the Cruz circle driveway, he sees that the only car in the driveway is Kaylie and remembers that Mr. and Mrs. Cruz are on vacation and that Leo is away at college. Carter pulls his jeep up to the front door of the house, then puts the jeep into the parked position and looks over at Kaylie who is wearing one of his gray sweatshirts over her leotard and a pair of her fitted warm up pants that are black. Carter then notices that his girlfriend has gone to sleep, Carter taps Kaylie on her left shoulder a few times and Kaylie open up her eyes. Kaylie notices that Carter jeep is parked in her parent's driveway. Kaylie sits the seat up and then reach back and grab her gym bag off the back seat of the jeep. Kaylie then opens up the passengers' door of the jeep and gets out of the jeep, but does not close the jeep door right away. Kaylie leans up against the door and looks at Carter.

"Thank you for giving me a ride home and letting me borrow a sweatshirt, I can't believe that I forget to grab one of my warm up jackets this morning Ah-choo, I will see you at the afternoon training session."

"Do you want me to come in with you and wake you up when it is time to get ready for the afternoon training session, since your parents are out of town and your brother is at college?"

"No, I do not want to get you sick."

"Do you want me to pick you up for the afternoon training session?"

"No I will drive myself Carter."

"Are you sure?"

"Ah-choo I think so."

"You do not sound sure Kaylie, you might feel up to drive to the rock, but will you feel up to drive home at the end of training?"

"I guess Ah-choo you are right. You can give me a ride to training and home afterwards."

"I will see you around two-thirty."

"See you then Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah-choo."

"Bless you."

"Thank you."

"You are welcome."

Kaylie shut the jeep door and then walks up to the front door of the house sneezes into both her hands. Carter waits to Kaylie is in the house and then he takes the jeep out of park and a few moments later is driving away from Kaylie's parent mansion. At the same time Kaylie is walking up the staircase to the second floor. When Kaylie reaches the second floor, she heads into the bathroom rubbing her right ear with her right hand and fighting the urge to sneeze. Kaylie walks over to the build in shelf units/cabinet and open up the first cabinet under the shelves on the left-hand side if stand in front of the unit. Kaylie kneels down and gets the thermometer and a box of tissues out of the cabinet. Kaylie close the cabinet door and stands up from the kneeling position then walk out of the bathroom and heads into her bedroom shutting the bedroom door behind her. Kaylie set the box of tissues on the nightstand and then set the gym bag on the bedroom floor. Kaylie sits down on her bed and turns the thermometer on and then puts the thermometer into her mouth. Kaylie then lies down on her bed and waits for the thermometer to beep. When the thermometer beep Kaylie takes the thermometer out of her mouth and sees that she is running a fever of 100. 5 degrees Fahrenheit. Kaylie turns the thermometer off and set the thermometer on the nightstand. She then open up the box of tissues and pull a tissue out of the box. Then blow her nose several times into the tissue, Kaylie tosses the used tissues into her bedroom trash can and then set the alarm on her cellphone to wake her up at two o'clock. Kaylie stands up and pulls the bedspread down, thinking about getting a nightshirt out of her dresser, but just lies down on her bed and pulls the bedspread up because she is cold, a few minutes later Kaylie falls to sleep sniffling. Meanwhile, at the Keeler's house Payson is sitting at the kitchen table facing the window and her back to the hallway, Payson is working on world history. Payson stops reading chapter thirty-one World War two and the aftermath (1931–1955), when she finishes reading section one: Aggression, Appeasement, and War and looks out the window, wishing that she could start trying again but knows that not going to happen any time before May, 11 because that when the doctor is allowing her start training again and her mom is not going to let her start back any time soon then that date. At the same time Mrs. Keeler walks into the kitchen and sees Payson stare out the window and not working on history. Mrs. Keeler walks up behind her oldest daughter and puts her hands on Payson shoulders.

"You are supposed to be working on your world history."

"I have been mom, just taking a short break before start reading the second sections of the chapter. Mom is there anyway that you would let me go back to training before May 11?"

"Payson the doctor does not want you training before May 11, you need to rest you back."

"But that only leaves me four weeks and four days to train for the U.S. classic, my back feels fine now I can bend over and touch my toes without pain and can stretch without pain and I am ready to start training."

"You are not going back to training until May 11, go back to working on your world history."

Payson shut her world History textbook and stand up from the chair. Payson then starts to walks toward the hallway, Mrs. Keeler runs to the doorway that leads to the hall and stands in her daughter way.

"Payson I told you to go back to working on your world history, now go sit back down and get to work."

"I will finish the chapter later, I am going to take a break from history and go finish read the novel for English in my bedroom."

"That fine Payson."

Mrs. Keeler stops away from the doorway and Payson walks into the hallway and to her bedroom door. Payson walks into her bedroom shutting the door behind her, then walks over to her bed. Payson lay down on her bed, then start to go through her uneven bars routine in her mind. At the same time Anastasia who has already stopped by main three-story red brick antebellum house and changes into a pair of tight fitting dark blue jeans and a light blue short sleeve shirt with a scoop neckline is walking through the doors of IGA to spent some time with her baby brothers and little sisters when they get home from preschool at noon. Anastasia sees Jordan Randall who is wearing a black asymmetrical tank leotard that has sliver rhinestone rose above the left hip and is part of Darby Conrad GK line and Kelly Parker who is wearing an ocean blue tank leotard with a scoop neckline and has a sliver mystique star in the center of the chest with sliver rhinestone swirls on each side of the star and is part of the Anastasia GK line, sitting on the spring floor mat and then notices that Jordan's notebooks, textbooks for Algebra II, English, America history and Psychology are on the floor mat and Jordan is working on Algebra II and Kelly has her twelfth grade English, Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry, U.S. Government, Spanish four and European History textbooks and notebooks on the spring floor mat and is working on European History. Jordan looks up at Anastasia and Anastasia looks at Jordan.

"What are you doing here Ana?"

"I come to see my baby brothers and sisters when they get home from school before heading back to the rock for the afternoon/evening training session."

"Andy and Ace are in the office with your mom and dad and the gymnasts taking home schooling tests."

"Thanks Jordan and Kelly how your right ankle feeling?"

"Better, I am only training uneven bar right now, but should be back to train on all the events on May fourth."
