Due to a request made by my sister, a twinkie will make an appearance in this chapter....

To Rini Skinner-Jekyll: Yay! I'm so happy you like it!!! Skinner and Jekyll are my favorites too, but mostly Jekyll.

The League Learns Gymnastics

It was finally 4:30. The doors would be opening to let the exhausted league members out in half-an-hour. All the league members (except Skinner, who had gone to put something away in the closet) were sprawled out on the ground in random little heaps. They were so tired they could barely move, and the only food they had that day was breakfast.

"I'm tired! And I want a twinkie..." Tom whined.

"I want a shrimp cocktail..." Dorian said grumpily.

"I want some nice steak..." Quatermain said dreamily.

"All I want is a glass of water" Jekyll panted.

"I would like a glass of water as well." Nemo said, wiping his forehead.

"I want...er...nevermind..." Mina changed her mind on what she was about to say.

The rest of the league just stared at her...

"Alright, listen up!" Skinner yelled as he walked back into the room. "I want you here tomorrow at seven AM!! Sharp!!"

Everyone groaned at this statement.

"If you're not here by then," Skinner warned, "I will hunt you down, tie you up, and drag you here. You may go now."

After that statement the doors opened and they rushed out to freedom.

"You know what?" Tom said to Quatermain, rubbing his bruised head as they walked to dinner, "I think Skinner's crazy. First of all, he locked us in that room with no food and almost no water for eight hours, then he makes us do gymnastics, as if we really needed to learn that, and then tells us we have to go there again?! At seven AM?! We'll be to tired and sore to move!!"

"I think you're mostly right." He replied as they sat down to eat, "But, I also think you're being to grumpy about it. Flew over the vault too many times, did you? Gymnastics could be useful. But he is being crazy. Do you know what he did? He tied me to the rings! Just because I wanted to put Matilda in a better spot than in the corner, where anyone could have stepped on her! I just can't wait to see what he does tomorrow..."

After dinner everyone went strait to their beds and fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow. Except Skinner, who was gathering rope....
