Lauren and Kaylie are lying on the cold, white tiled ground laughing until their faces turned red surrounded by countless pink boxes that fell off of the shelf. "That was so much fun!" Kaylie says getting off of the ground and fixing the huge pink bow in her hair. "Yea, it was" Lauren responds but then sees a huge trampoline in the very back of the store and her eyes widen. "Look" Kaylie still focused on her bow quickly glances at Lauren, "Are you ok?" Lauren grabs Kaylie and turns she towards the trampoline "Whoa… my gym doesn't have one that big" Kaylie explains in amazement, "Well let's go then!" Lauren exclaims getting her energy back while dragging her new friend towards the "Big One".
The Big One is a 47 inch wide trampoline with a huge safety net around the perimeter. It has five stage lights surrounding the circle of the ring because the trampoline was put there to display one of the ten largest trampolines in the world.
"Can we stop now" Kaylie chokes out through the small gasps of air that she trying to get.
"Yea, cause we're here" Lauren says looking at the stadium like trampoline, taking her shoes off and basically climbing the plastic, brick style steps leading to the entrance. "Wait! We're not tall enough to go on this." Kaylie states standing beside a huge cardboard clown holding a ruler, pointing at the height above here. "We just climbed hundreds of feet and your scared now" Lauren challenges at the entrance, "IM NOT SCARED" Kaylie screams very loudly, pouting and stomping her feet at Lauren.
"Prove it"
Meanwhile Steve, Ronnie, Alex and the manager are running around looking for the girls. "I so cannot be running in these jimmy choo's" Ronnie complains exasperated. "We'll maybe if you stop buying every pair in the store and wear the tennis shoes that I'm endorsing and can get for free, then maybe we wouldn't have this problem" a very annoyed Alex responds while running full speed, looking in different isle of the store. "I wouldn't be caught dead wearing those godly things" falling behind and sitting on a tiny "My Little Pony" chair, taking off her red bottom pumps and rubs her feet in euphoria. "Come on Ronnie!" looking back at his wife, "We have to find Kaylie". Rolling her eyes, "She didn't leave the store Alex, she is around here somewhere. I'll catch up in a few" flipping her hair and continuing to rub her feet, dismissing him and the conversation.
"Well, I found where they were"
Steve awkwardly states from the isle next to them. Alex runs over there to see three shelves of pink, Barbie toys scattered up and down the walkway. Steve looks down to see the orange sun charm shining from the bracelet that Leslie gave to Lauren a few weeks ago. "We need to find them" looking at Alex and back at the bracelet, starting to get emotional again. "You don't think I know that?" Alex frantically says, looking around the store until he hears laughter coming from a few isle down
"Did you hear that?"
Steve stands still and focuses on his surroundings when he hears laughter as well. "Yea, it's coming from down there, let's go" he says running past Alex to follow the growing laughter with Alex following closely behind in is dirty Royals uniform having just coming from another winning game. Steve stops when he finally finds the girls jumping around and sees Lauren doing stunts that he didn't even think a little girl was capable of. "Why did you stop?" Alex questions but soon sees his daughter doing a double twist in the air, "I didn't know that she had that move?" Steve looks at him in amazement, "I didn't know Lauren could do this stuff either". "I put my daughter in gymnastics this year, so I knew she could do a few things but not all of this" Alex adds a-matter-of-factly. "Huh, maybe I should move Lauren to your gym, your daughter seems really talented" fascinated by the scene playing in front of him." "Ahh we'll, she gets it from her old man" looking up to the sky like superman very proud of his daughter, "What's your name again?" pointing his finger at Steve with a curious look of interest, "Steve…Steve Tanner" he answers holding his hand, "Alex Cruz" taking his hand squeezing it harder than normal, as if he is testing him. But Steve holds his ground and looks him straight in the eyes, being a successful lawyer and businessman himself; who is used to dealing with CEO'S, celebrities, moguls, etc. Alex takes his hand back and smirks at Steve as if to say he passed the test and Steve doing likewise before turning his attention back to the girls.
"I think this is going to be the beginning of a good partnership"
