So what's next, coach?"questioned Doris calmly, who was still in the water but had stopped swimming around.
"Flying!"exclaimed all three Mentors excitedly, partly for the flying part and partly because they all know how much Doris wanted to do something a little more out-of-the-ordinary in training and water breathing is only the start! At once, Doris' eyes widened as a huge smile broke out on her face and she let out a fangirlish/excited type of squeal before zipping out the water and standing in front of her awaiting Mentors.
Chuckling, Mentor S handed Doris a towel and helped her dry of and change into more.. Flight ready clothes, if you will. "Alright, Doris! Which one of these are your favourite?" She flashed up 3 outfits: the first one had a red leather jacket with falcon feathers clipped to it, orange shirt, black jeans and black boots. This, more or less, screams Kitka so it wasn't exactly Doris' style, the next had a black tank-top with white, purple, red and orange leggings and orange sneakers, this one said Hans. The third one was a white tank-top with light grey laced sleeves, a dark blue mini skirt with dark blue shorts, a white cap and white converses. "This one."chose Doris surely, whilst pointing to the last one.
Smiling, Mentor S happily agreed,"Awesome choice!" as she through the clothes on Doris and pushed her into a changing room then waited patiently for a few minutes.
When Doris got out, she was wearing the unusually usual costume for flying. "Uh, Mentor? Are you positive this is a FLYING costume?"
"Of corse!"reassured S positively as she tied Doris hair in a pony tail, before explaining,"This prepairs you for when you suddnly need to start flying but you're still wearing your casual clothes." Then dragged her back to Ying and Yang, who were waiting patiently for them.. Well, Ying anyway. :S
"There are THREE are different ways of flying; Dive and Glide; Take-off; And Blast-off. Dive and Glide is where you have to dive off highgrounds before executing gliding, Take-off is where you have to have a running start before jumping up into the air and taking-off like an aeroplane and Blast-off is where you have to quickly squat then jump in a perfectly straight line vertically."informed Mentor Ying in a relaxed fashion before letting Mentor Yang take over.
"We will be looking at the easiest to the hardest, which is Take-off, Dive and Glide then Blast-off. First you have to start walking,"instructed Yang normally now, then paused for a break and turned to Doris expectantly.
Doris' POV:
Why is she looking at me like tha- Oh! I'm suppose to start walking, aren't I? Looking determined, I start to walk at a normal pace, whilst waiting for my instructions from Yang, who's hovering right next to me.
"Great, now start to gradually jog at a steady pace.."
Nodding, I start to speed walk before moving my feet slightly farther apart while I begin to pick up the pace into an eventual jog.
"Then start running.."
Running...
"Then jump!"
Jump and.. I land flat on my face. Smooth, Doris, smooth, please note the sarcasm in my voice. ._. You have to admit it was pretty hard.. Oh, well at least I'm learning how to fly, unlike you.. Just sitting there on your fancy computer chair staring at the screen! Ok, enough with the chitter-chatter, back to the story,"OOF-!"I breathe painfully, as I end up belly diving into the ice-like water.
No one's POV:
Face palming, Mentor Yag lifted Doris out of the water by her pony tail,"This is going to be a long day, kid."she mumbled warily before dropping her back into the icey water and walking away to disscuss some things with Mentor Ying.
'Understatement of the centry...'replied Doris mentally as she decided to help herself up and practise a bit for the next few lessons, which were definately going to be tuff. 'Let's see,'thinks Doris optimistically, as she paced around thoughtfully; trying to find an answer as to why she couldn't fly.. Besides logic and such. 'Maybe I need some motovation.. Kowalski, possibley?'she continued to think of the genius but instead she felt more insicure than free, due to all the negitive comments given to her by her life long crush.
'Never in a million years.' 'I knew she was the traitor!' 'Why would I ever fall for her.' All thoughs voices spinning around in her head was driving her insane, she knew that this wasn't really Kowalski since no time was passing in the real world but it just sounded so real! She hadn't noticed she was crying until she opened her mouth and a sob escaped her dry lips, which made Mentor S smile sadly at Doris from the background. She had agift for seein - and NO, not the normal kind of seeing like 'You can see the story I've writen on here' type, I mean like the prophcey type - so she could easily tell that Doris was confused about her feeling towards Kowalski until now and Kowalski on the other hand had clear feelings, he neve hated Doris, not so much as a dislike, he just didn't want to get hurt afgain so he disguised his admiration with his pain and hatred of not being Doris' lover. Then it hit her, it wasn't that Doris wasn't motivated enough or concentrating enough, it was that hurt that she had been hiding for all thoughs years finally catching up to her and...'clipping her wings'!
"Doris!"she called her student happily, and floated over to her enthusiastically. "I know what's keeping you on the ground!" Imeadiatly you could see the badass blonde's eyes light up as her tears seemed to vaporise and a small smile slipped on to her face.
"Well don't waste any time, tell me!"she exclaimed excitedly in a hushed tone.
Chuckling, S nodded and shushed her a but eventhough Doris was already whispering before she calmly informed,"I know you feelings for Kowalski,"she started understandingly. Doris' eye widened slightly, though she remained quiet and let her gardian Mentor continue. "And that should have set you free with a bumpy ride at first since it's still a shock for but it didn't, the reason it didn't is becuase you never let anyone know how his words or anyone's words hurt you and you never let it out so now that is catching up to you. You need to push them aside and get on with the rest of you life... Like a break up! It may sting at first but you'll find that you can do better and you'll feel better than before, speeking from self experince.*" she explain whilst rolling her eyes and smiling a bit to herself at the second last part of that sentence.
"Ok... How do I do that?" A smile beamed across Mentor S' face as she handed Doris a microphone and snapped her fingers to conjure up a list of songs with a search icon and button. "Karaoke? ...Really?"questioned Doris apprehensively, only to receive a silent nod and the list. "Fine...! *sigh* Uh, let's see.. Nah, nu-uh, no way, nope, no... Perfect." Moments later, a tune came on and I think you would know it if your a... Mixer*. :-)
"Mama told me not to waste my life,
She said spread your wings my little butterfly.
Sang Doris quietly, whilst she held her tight gripped on to the microphone and stood there still and nearly unmoving. The last time she heard this song or anysong that wasn't a P!nk or Avril Lavigne or a screamo/rock song was when she was... 12 I think it was. She was afraid that she would look like a fool if she forgot the lyrics, not to mention if she forgot the tune and everything!
Don't let what they say keep you up at night,
And if they give you shhhh...
Then they can walk on by!
Now Doris started to feel more comfortable and it definately showed since her grip loosened, she started to move her hands in the danceable way and sing more confidently. Whilst singing, she started to think on how those lyrics could help her, she SHOULDN'T let those things that Kowalski or anyone else say bother her; And she WON'T. After all they are just sour apples giving crud when she never really did anything to them, so they should just go away and mind their own firetrucking business! Maybe pop isn't so bad after all...
My feet, feet can't touch the ground,
And I can't hear a sound.
But you just keep on running up your mouth, yeah!
Walk, walk on over there,
'Cause I'm too fly to care, oh yeah!
At the the word walk, Doris began walk with rhythm, marking her steps and she gave a little twirl near the end of the second line before she contained walking.
Your words don't mean a thing,
I'm not listening!
Keep talking, all I know is...
On the first line, she wagged her finger, brought it down then began jogging, the next line she covered her ears, then began picking up the pace and ran as quick as her legs could take her, the last line at last word she jumped into the air and..
Mama told me not to waste my life,
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And they can't detain you
'Cause wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say – it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly
...And she was flying! It felt amazing, she was also keeping up quite the pace as she zoomed past, Phoenixes and Griffons.
(Hey, hey, woo!)
I'm firing up on that runway
I know we're gonna get there someday
But we don't need no "Ready. Steady. Go!", no
Talk, talk turns into air
And I don't even care, oh yeah
Your words don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
Keep talking, all I know is
Mama told me not to waste my life,
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say keep you up at night,
And they can't detain you
'Cause wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say – it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly
I don't need no one saying hey, hey, hey, hey
I don't hear no one saying hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
You better keep on walking
I don't wanna hear your talking, boy'd
You better keep on walking
I don't wanna hear your talking, boy'd
Your words don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
They're just like water off my wings
Mama told me not to waste my life
She said spread your wings my little butterfly (my little butterfly)
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And they can't detain you
'Cause wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say – it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say – it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly."
Sang Doris before floating back to the ground as Mentor S and Mentor Ying cheered while Mentor Yang just stood there dumbstruck. "That was awesome!"commented Mentor S as she gave Doris a hug.
"No, that was the definition of awesome."followed on Ying politely and blushed a bit since she's shy... Kind of like Fluttershy in MLP:FiM! "Now, let's do Blast off! To Blast Off, you will need to jump up however it's not as simple as it seems, it needs to be activated by a sorce of emotional power such as determination or passion. I can do it, see,"she explained before crouching down low then springing up to fly up like a rocket. "Becuase I am powered by determination in teaching you this skill. Now, close of your eyes and think of something that triggers a nerve - a good one - and distribute that into your flying!" Doris closed her eyes and tried to think of something, at first she thought of determination but didn't even get a spark! Next she thought of music since she was passionate about music, and felt...something.
'Now, which helps is passionate? Ummm.. Passion, love, IN love... Me... Kowalski..'asked Doris to herself and thinking about Kowalski now. Sometimes, when she read behind the lines, she thought she could sense confusion and love, however she wasn't sure if she was wrong or right. She didn't know if she should say something to Kowalski in seriousness (not like she did when she teases him) or just keep things inside... And maybe if she out some work into this, love could set free. Why she even tried? Not a clue, except for that consecutive feeling that in her HEART it was and still is real. 'Oh! What's that somg of Disney Channel that was in that Spanish-originated soap opera? Ludmilla? No! That was a character in it... I love you in Violetta!' Closing her eyes, Doris took and deep breath and crouched down low whilst the song 'I love you' played; filling her head with thoughs of the sweet Kowlaski. Suddenly a feeling grew in her chest and seemed to spread around her until she felt weightless! Smiling softly, Doris crouched down low...
Don't know if I'm wrong,
Don't know if I'm right.
Don't know if I should say or keep it inside,
Just what is this feeling,
That's growing in me?
Could it be possible?
That love will set free!
It's just I know in my heart is real!
And that I know it's live I feel,
When I searched I found answers to my loneliness.
And this dream that we're living is real~!
Then leaped! Feeling a breath if cold air, Doris opened her eyes to find that she was flying vertically forwards at a reasonabley quick pace before she soared even higher at a exceptionally fast rate. "Woah!" screamed the little Doris inside the actual Doris' head, just in case you forgot, through the wind she was building up. She felt completely weightless, synonymously to when she was with the sweet Kowalski!
Cause of you I feel heaven surrounds us,
I love you, I love you.
In your arms I feel no fear around us,
I love you I love you!
And your eyes shine when you see mine!
I need you, I love you.
I love you, I love you!
Cause of you I feel heaven surrounds us...
"Great work! But there's one last test..."commented Mentor Yang before snapping her fingers to make the grand canyon appear a few feet away from Doris with the Eagle standing on the edge. "Dive and Glide."
I am SO sorry for the long wait! It's just that other ideas have been nagging my brain that I ended up writing a Skilene fanfic on Fanpop! It's not done yet, but it will be. Just in case anyone's interested, I'm Random-Partier and it going to be called Blame it on the Rain! :) So please forgive me for the wait up! :( I'm Sorry.
