The next day at 8:00, Tori was walking by reception when Louise stopped her and said "Zoe wants you",
"Thanks but what for?" Tori thought it was for paperwork but she just needed to check.
"Some sort of appointment somewhere, I think" said Louise while trying to remember if it was right or not. Tori walked away, she knew this was about the weight clinic but she didn't think that she had to go until the 2 weeks were up and it had only been 1 week. She got to the office and took a seat on the sofa before asking "What is this about?",
Zoe looked up from her paperwork and said "The clinic, you have another appointment to see how you're getting on with things, outside in 20 minutes."
Tori crossed her arms and said "Why can't it just wait until next week?",
"You know it can't and they might want to change the plan so no more cow fat sweets" Zoe only said this because she knew Tori wouldn't go just for a check-up.
"Yay!" Tori exclaimed before running out the room and outside.

She had been doing 30 minutes of exercise after work but it was her break and she had to wait 20 minutes. She set her bag down on the nearest bench and did gymnastics combinations, and tumbling passes. She even got someone to say the letters of the alphabet so she could do the alphabet gymnastic challenge. She sat back down on the bench and realised that she had 10 minutes left, Tori still wanted to exercise but she knew that anymore tumbling could make her collapse again so she decided to see how long he could hold a handstand, she managed the whole 10 minutes before Zoe came out and said "Come on, you can't be late", Tori turned the handstand into a front limber, got her bag and made her way to the car.

When they arrived at the clinic, they were sat in the waiting room for 30 minutes, Tori was happy about it because it meant that she had more time before the appointment to do whatever she wanted.
The same man as last time looked in the room and said "Tori Ikezowa", Tori and Zoe got up to follow the man and he lead them to the same room as before, they sat down and the man once again recorded Tori's weight as 110 lbs and height as 64 inches before saying "You don't need to follow the plan anymore and you can now go back to normal as long a you don't let your weight drop again".
Tori thought before asking "Can I exercise anytime I want now?",
The strange man said instantly "Yes but I advise that you take it slowly".
They both walked out of the building and got in the car,
"You can stop doing paperwork now" said Zoe while starting the car.
"So does that mean I get to do more exiting things?" asked Tori, she really missed being able to meet new people even if she never saw them again.
"Yes but I still have to do all that paperwork" said Zoe, she knew she would get it done on time but it was really boring.

When they got back to the E.D, Zoe did some more paperwork and told Tori to take a 10 minute break, Tori did as she was told and went outside. She started doing tumbling passes when Tess came out and said "Do you mind if I video this to show Zoe later."
"Sure, what kind of things do you want me to do?" replied Tori, she was surprised because no-one had ever wanted to video her before.
"Well Zoe sent me out here and asked me to film combinations, tumbling passes and flexibility", as Tess said this, she was also trying to think why Zoe wanted it on video.
"Ok" said Tori before waiting for Tess to set up the camera and press record, she did combinations first. Her first combination was cartwheel, one arm cartwheel then side aerial, her second one was front walkover, back limber then switch front walkover. She decided to leave tumbling passes to the end and did some split variations, a close backbend then a chest stand with her feet on the floor. By now, a crowd had gathered round and people were shouting various things like 'Round-off, double back handspring, back layout!' she was wondering how people knew these things but she took some requests. Connie was watching from one of the benches and she yelled 'I know you can do better than that', it was only a tease but Tori took the challenge and did a round-off, full then a 1 1/2 and landed it perfectly before sticking her tongue out, everyone was shocked, even her when she realised that she had never actually landed that before.
"Thanks" said Tess before disappearing inside with the camera.

Tess gave Zoe the camera and said "You were right, it was amazing", she stopped and questioned "Why do you need a video anyway?"
"When Grace ran away from school, she was showing me her cheer tricks and she said she would like to do gymnastics too." Zoe hadn't told anyone about Grace wanting to do gymnastics, she was going to but she wanted to wait until Connie was happier to tell her.
"But doesn't she do cheer?" Tess asked, she couldn't understand why they were two different sports, all she knew was that they did pretty much the same things,
"Yes she does do cheer already but gymnastics is different, they have more events" Zoe was still trying to do paperwork and talk at the same time.
"Oh" said Tess before excusing herself and walking out of the office.

Tori had been through one of her worst shifts yet, she had a black eye from a drunk woman who had started a bar fight and she had accidentally kicked a very hard table. She had gone into the toilet to get changed into a sports top and some grey Nike pro shorts as she was going straight to open gym as she hadn't actually been to the gym in 3 weeks and it was starting to bug her.
"Going somewhere sporty?" Zoe asked when she noticed Tori's outfit,
"Just the gym" replied Tori.
Grace came running through the door and said to Tori when she noticed what she was wearing "Can I come to the gym?",
Zoe quickly said "If your mum agrees and if Tori will let you".
Grace turned to Tori and looked at her with her puppy dog eyes, Tori couldn't resist the puppy dog eyes and said "Of course you can",
Grace smiled before running off to find her mum, she returned a few minutes later and said "Mummy said yes but I have to be back in 2 hours if that's ok".

Tori got Grace in her car and they drove to the gym, Grace went to reception and borrowed some sports clothes before asking Tori "Can you teach me some stuff on the bars or beam?",
"Ok, which one would you like to try first?" she asked, she was happy to teach Grace things, it meant that she didn't have to practice herself all the time.
"Beam please" said Grace before taking Tori' hand and walking towards the beams,
Tori knew that Grace already did cheer so she said "Beam is easy, its just what you do on floor but higher up and in a straight line".
"Can I start with something simple like a back walkover?" asked Grace,
"Ok" replied Tori, she showed Grace how to put her hands on the beam and within 5 minutes, she could do it on the high beam with no help.
Tori clapped and said "You're a natural, what do you want to do now?",
"Umm..." Grace thought for a moment before saying "I've seen you do something like a cartwheel before, something that we don't do in cheer."
Tori stepped over to the floor and did a side aerial "You mean that?" she asked, Grace nodded excitedly.

Grace was finding this one harder, "I'll help you and then you can try on your own, ok?" asked Tori.
"Ok" said Grace before attempting it again, she made it without help, Tori thought that she would offer help but let her try on her own, even if Grace did fall, she would have caught her.
"You did it without help, well done" said Tori,
"Maybe I was just scared" said Grace while trying to think of something to do next, she looked around and said "Can you do things and I will try to copy them?.
"Ok, I'll start simple then get harder" she said while deciding what to do first, she did a combination that she knew Grace could easily copy, front walkover, handstand then back limber.

They spent another hour doing that then Tori realised that they had half an hour left and asked "What do you want to do now?",
Grace looked around and asked "Can you teach me stuff on the bars?".
Hold on a second" said Tori before producing a pair of small grips out her bag, they had been in there ages because she brought them years ago but they never broke, Grace smiled before putting them on and getting some chalk. Tori also put chalk on her hands but didn't use grips because she was used to it, she taught Grace a full level 5 bar routine before teaching her a level 6 routine on the beam.
Grace got changed and Tori headed to the vending machine in reception and brought 2 chocolate bars, she gave one to Grace and told her to save it for later because she didn't want to spoil her appetite.

Before driving off, Tori checked her IPad, she had an email from Connie with her address on it. She already knew where the street was so she gave Grace the IPad and said "If you want, you can play games or email someone."
"Can I email mum?" Grace asked while fastening her seatbelt,
"Yeah, there is already an email from her so you can just reply to it" said Tori while driving off. Grace sent an email to her mum, 'Hi mummy! we're coming home :)', she got one back almost instantly that said 'Did you have a nice time?'. Grace replied with 'Perfect, Tori taught me a level 5 bar routine, level 6 beam routine and a side aerial'. The conversation continued for a while before Tori stopped the car and said "We're here", she let Grace out and took her inside.
"Mummy! come and watch what I can do!" Grace half said, half screamed while pulling Connie onto the garden, Grace got a plank of wood from the bottom of the garden and pulled it up to the top before jumping on it and doing her beam routine.
"How did you learn that so fast?" asked Connie, she knew that Grace could learn things fast but usually not that fast.
Grace smiled and said "Practice", she then turned to Tori and said "Thanks for taking me, can I go with you next week?",
"Sure, what would you like to do next week?" Tori asked.
Grace thought for a while before saying "Back flips but not back tucks because I hate those".

A short while later, Grace had convinced Tori to do some hard skills on the wood plank, which she insisted on videoing. Grace was thinking of challenges to do when she thought of the combination challenge, she asked Connie to say 3 random letters and she would do a skill beginning with each letter and try to make it connect. First, they both had to do L, F and B. Grace chose to do a leap, front walkover and back handspring, she challenged Tori to do the level 5 and above skills so she did layout step out, front aerial and back tuck. Grace had a really fun day and she wished that she could do gymnastics because she had already proved how good she was at it, it was just finding the right time to ask.

Just before she was about to go to bed, Grace asked "Can I do gymnastics as well as cheer?",
"I'll think about it" said Connie, she was too tired to disagree. Grace smiled, she knew that most of the time 'I'll think about it' meant yes. At 8:30, Grace ran upstairs to bed but hardly got any sleep as she was too exited.
