To Queerquail: Yeah...and it's great the way we have the power to make it happen! (Evil laugh) I just started gymnastics last week, that's where I got the idea. :)

The League Learns Gymnastics

Jekyll had been getting quite good at cartwheels, and Skinner even said he was a natural. Skinner had just told Him and Dorian to try doing it on the beam now, and was watching their first attempts.

Jekyll concentrated hard on the spot where he wanted to end his cartwheel.

This is pointless! Grrr... Get off this stupid beam and go do something like scaring puny citizens!

"No, Edward. Now be quiet. I'm trying to concentrate." He said quietly.

Gymnastics is stupid! I want to go smash up the library again!

"Edward, be quiet. I'm going to fall off the beam..."

Serves you right for doing this is in the first place!

CRASH! Jekyll's feet went five inches to far to the left, and he fell off the beam and landed in a pile of other random equipment.

"Jekyll! You were close but you're not concentrating!" Skinner said as he helped him out of the pile of equipment, "Gray, lets see yours!"

"I'm sick of this. There is no point in learning this. I don't think I'll ever do gymnastics outside of here." Dorian said crossing his arms.

"Well, think of this. You're walking across a pit of lava and suddenly the sides of the path collapse and you're standing on a beam of doom!" Skinner said, "Now stop being a grump and do it!"

Dorian didn't look very pleased at being called a grump.

"A pit of lava? When am I ever going to have to walk across a pit of lava? Ever?! Besides, It's not like the lava would kill me if I fell." He said stepping off the beam.

"I know it wouldn't kill you, but I know it wouldn't be very pleasant swimming around in it! Besides, you need to learn this anyway. And..." Skinner added as an afterthought, "There's an empty space in the closet waiting for you..."

Dorian just glared, and then began his cartwheel.

"Good. Just work on straitening your legs during your cartwheel." Skinner said, then he started walking over to Mina.

"Mina! You're doing wonderful! So wonderful, in fact, I've decided to make you assistant coach!" He said after watching another one of her fronthand-spring flip combos.

"Assistant Coach?" She replied, getting out of vampire-mode, "What would I have to do?"

"Just do what I've been doing! It's really fun! You walk around, order people to do things, and watch them try! It's really easy." He said trying to get her to agree.

"Alright, I will try being your assistant. Where do I go first?" Mina asked.

"Hmm...how about going over to Nemo? Tell him to work on pointing in the right direction when he lets go..." He said watching Nemo fly off the bars again.
