J is for Juggling
Cat sat in the black box theater. There was a big talent show coming up and she was watching Robbie practice his act. He wasn't trying to be a comedian this time, he was juggling, but he wasn't very good. Cat could juggle very well.
"So how was that?" Robbie asked. He had just successfully threw one colorful ball up in the air with his right hand and caught it in his left hand.
"Robbie, you have to learn how to juggle better than that. What were you planning on juggling anyways?" Cat asked.
"A couple of flaming tourches." Robbie sighed, rubbing the back of his neck.
"That sounds hurtey." Cat said, thinking about the fire. "You should juggle something breakable, but not painful. Like water balloons. Water balloons are fun!" Cat jumped up.
"Ok, I can juggle water balloons." Robbie said.
"I'll do it with you. My brother and I used to juggle salami sticks together." Cat began playing with her hair. Robbie furrowed his brows, but then decided that her brother was wierd and he didn't want to ask.
"Alright. Water balloons. How about tomorrow we meet here after school? I'll bring the water balloons." Robbie suggested.
"Okay." Cat smiled.
The next day, Cat met Robbie in the same theater where he was waiting with a bucket of water balloons.
"Ok, first, were going to juggle six balloons. I want you to throw left right left right. And catch left right left right. I'm going to lable them with my Zappy markers." Cat put an L on two of them, and an R on the other.
"Ok, You have to learn how to juggle normal before juggling with another person. These two start off in your left hand and this one starts in your right hand. I want them to end up that way too." Cat set the balloons in his hands.
"Cat I'm going to break these. I'll go through the whole bucket." Robbie said, looking down at his hands.
"No, because they are breakable you'll be more careful and more likely to catch them." Cat smiled, trying to be helpful.
During the whole afternoon Robbie hadn't dropped a single balloon. They had successfully worked out a routine and were juggling like pros.
"This was fun." Robbie said as he grabbed his bag.
"It was. But what are we going to do with the balloons?" Cat asked, pointing to the bucket.
"Well, we could do this." Robbie picked one up and threw it at Cat. Cat did the same.
The two of them were found in soaking we clothes in a soaking we theater.
"What are you two doing?" Lane asked when he walked in. Robbie let the last balloon in his hand fly, but it missed Cat and hit Lane.
"We were, uhh, juggling?" Robbie laughed and glanced over at Cat.
"Well, your not doing a very good job." Lane sighed.
This one was kind of fun. But it makes me wish I could juggle. Review! 3
