Author's Note: Wow...this one went FOREVER without an update!!

Have you noticed that they have manga for every sport but cheerleading? I'M GOING TO WRITE ONE!!

And here, for those who don't know anything about cheerleading, I have pictures of the different moves!! Yes, cheerleading is very dangerous and scary at times. And it actually is a sport (don't flame!!) It combines dancing with gymnastics (which is in the Olympics) and also has very dangerous stunt moves. So...here are some examples of the builds used so far. When they start putting Anna up in bigger builds, I'll have pics of those too.

Half

Full

Keitorin clapped her hands. "We're going to get you up into a full today, Anna," she said cheerfully.

"What's that?" she asked tentatively.

"We've been holding you at half-extensions, right?" Keitorin said, waving her hands animatedly as she spoke. "That's when your feet are at the bases' chest level. Well, now we're going to put you into a full-extension! You'll be held way above their heads!"

"Great," Anna muttered.

"Hm?"

"Nothing," Anna said. "When are we going to do it?"

"RIGHT NOW!" Keitorin cheered. "Come on!" She grabbed Anna by the arm and dragged her over to where Jenn was teaching the boys to base and spot the full extension. Kathryn was balancing in their hands, her body easily six feet off the ground. Anna swallowed hard. Jenn counted out the cradle, and Kathryn popped into the air and landed in their arms.

"Okay, Anna, it's your turn," Keitorin said. "Just go into a half extension for now, guys. We won't try going into a straight full right away."

Anna placed her hands on Ren and HoroHoro's shoulders. Yoh put his hands on her small waist. "Hey," he whispered in her ear. "You okay? You're shaking."

"I'm fine," she hissed. Nevertheless, Yoh squeezed her waist gently in a comforting way. "

Okay, guys, let's do this," Jenn said. "One, two, down, up, down up." Anna popped into the half extension. "Come on, Anna, smile!" Keitorin encouraged. She forced a grimace as Yoh gripped her ankles. "Okay, now they're going to put you up into the full. Yoh's going to let go of your ankles, so be ready."

Sure enough, the strong and steady grip left her as Jenn counted the second lift. Now she was even higher above the ground; her only contact with solid earth was HoroHoro and Ren holding onto her shoes. Anna closed her eyes. "I want down," she muttered.

"What, Anna?" Yoh asked.

"I want down..." Anna whimpered. She closed her eyes. "I want to get down."

"Okay, Anna," Yoh soothed. "It's okay."

"Lower her back to the half," Keitorin said. "We can practice the cradle from there."

"It was a little better from the half extension, but she was still dreading the cradle. "Okay, Anna, remember to draw your legs up high when you come down, okay?" Jenn said. "Here we go! One, two, down, up!"

Anna kept her knees straight as the boys popped her into the cradle. For a long moment she was falling. The next thing she knew she was safe in the cradle, Ren and HoroHoro catching her legs and Yoh's arms wrapped snugly around her waist. She closed her eyes in relief to be on the ground.

"You're okay, baby," Yoh whispered in her ear. "I've got you."
