Maria walked into the Holoroom. Even though it was used to practice spells, she came anyways. It was designed to test your abilities, so what a better place to practice her gymnastics. She set down her gym bag and began to stretch. While she stretched, she thought of different things. A movement in the bag made her jump. A black furry head poked out of it. Laughing, she leaned over and pulled out a black cat.
"Clover, way to go. You weren't suppossed to come!" Setting him down next to her, she continued to stretch.
Standing up, she thought about a whole bunch of spring board mats, and then a balance beam. The Holoroom furnished itself to her liking, and she grinned. Taking a deep breathe, she started to run. Leaping into the air, she started a layout. Flip after flip after flip, she nailed them all. When it came down to the last one, a back tuck, she faltered. Not making it, she fell on her butt.
Grunting, she sat up. Deciding to move on, she held her butt while she walked back towards the balance beam. Pulling herself up onto it, she sat there. Standing up, she began her routine. Back bending over, she twisted and did a split. Throwing her head back, she smiled, and then front tucked into a one legged stand. After about three minutes, she was done. Huffing and puffing, she got down then walked over to Clover. Picking him up, she petted him.
"So, how was I?"

Ember walked into the Holoroom and stood in the corner of the room to watch her sister's layout, she didn't want to distract her and have her get hurt. Maria's layout was better then ever since they came to Krystle. She crossed the room and she stepped out for her warm-up suit and jacket exposing her leotard, which was midnight blue with gray stars and constellations. She turned around and clapped for Maria as she finished a second layout. "That was awesome! I think that was your best one yet! I don't know if I can compete with that!"

Kameron Wiles walked at a slow place to finally reach the big doors leading into the Holoroom. Before she dropped her gym bag onto the ground to peek through the tall, narrow window in one of the doors, the girl let out a slight sigh, for she doubted any student would be in the holoroom at this time. Nevertheless, after reviewing the large area through the door window Kam became exceited to enter upon seeing two girls inside.
"There is actually someone in here," Kameron whispered to herself, hoping she would make a new friend--maybe two? As she pulled the wide, heavy door open, she noticed the girls' faces looked quite a bit alike. Kam's grip on her gym bag tightened, then loosened, then tighten again as she stepped into the room. At first she tried to act like she didn't see the others but then she thought again and decided that was stupid, because they were right there in front of her. She looked up.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't think anyone else would be in here," Kameron stammered, not knowing whether to go change into her gym clothes or to ask permission to stay first. She quickly decided on the second option. "Er...Do you mind if I'm in here? I don't want to interrupt anything." What she was hoping for was for either of the girls to invite her to stay, maybe even to practice with them.
She standed waiting for a response from one of the girls.

Maria laughed. "Thanks. But the back tuck still needs to be improved." Seeing someone walk into the Holoroom, she smiled and jogged over.
"Hey." Sticking out her hand, her grey eyes flashed. "My names Maria." Hearing her ask if she could stay, she nodded her head.
"Yeah, of course you can! Any gymnast is welcome here! In fact, we're all gymnasts!" Laughing, she slung her arm around the girls shoulder. "Your welcome here with us anytime."
Walking back over to mats, she stood there. Then, taking off, she went for the layout again. Leaping into the air, she hit the front flip, front handspring, and everything else. When the back tuck came, she nailed it. Landing with a soft thud she stood up, grinning.
Running to her sister, she said,"I got it! I nailed it!"

Ember jogged up next to the new girl and said, "Hey I'm Emberlynn, Maria's twin. You can call me Ember, everybody does. You must be a gymnast too. "
Ember turned to Maria's floor mat and watched her layout and she knew that Maria would nail her tuck and she did.
"Yeah, Alright Maria that was WAY better than the last two layout's! Now I don't think that I can do that as well as you but we have yet to see the ability of our new friend Kam."
Ember turned back to Kam and said, "Come on Kam, let's see what you've got. I bet your great, You look like you have been in training for a while. Just like us."
She smiled encouragingly at Kam and thought to herself, Hmm she could be a really good frined once we get to know eash other. I can't wait to see what she can do on the floor?

Maria smiled. "Thanks sis."Looking at Kam, she said, "Yeah, lets see what you have."Putting her blonde hair in a pony tail, she grabbed a bowl and some powedered chalk from her bag. She rubbed her hands on powder, and then walked over to a pole. She jumped and grabbed it, and then began to swing back and forth.
Building up enough momentum, she went around and around the bar. She let go with her right hand, and the switched directions. Grabbing back on, she just barely missed it. Her fingers slipped past it, brushing it. She fell hard onher butt again.
Sitting there, she said, "Ouch." Standing up slowly, she walked over to her bag, and pulled out a small hand towel. Wiping off her face and hands, she looked at her sister.
"So, are you going to practice? Or are you just here to watch me beat you at layouts and stuff?" Of course she was joking when she said that. It was her sister after all. Laughing, she put her arm around her sisters shoulder and said, "Just kidding. But still, are you going to practice? If not, then thats fine. Kam and I can have all the fun."

Kameron's face immediately lit up at the sound of the girls' response. Ah, so they're twins, Kam thought, now understanding the resemblence in their looks. "Okay," she said, "thanks! I'll be right back, thought, just gimme a second to change." Kam scurried into the girls locker rooms, and as she changed into her comfortable gym clothes she analyzed her wonderful opportunity to finally have some real friends here at Krystle.
Kameron was in and out of the changing rooms in a flash. She took her time to chalk up, as she always used this small bit of time to relax before performing a routine She clapped after her hands had the right amount of chalk on them, bounced on her toes a few times, then took off.
She began with a round-off leading into a double back handspring, a slight hop and a cartwheel the opposite direction, then repeated the round-off and double handspring ending in a back tuck, waiting for the landing--yes! Perfect landing. Because of her success she decided to add a holded handstand, then slowly slid down into a frontward split. Kam smiled slightly as she looked upward, beginning to stand and straighted her shirt.
"That wasn't a routine or anything, I just thought I'd do something to warm up a bit. It helps me stretch, too." She had already begun her stretches in the locker room, anxious to do gymnastics with Maria and Ember, which is why she did not stretch before applying chalk. Kam took the smallest siop of water from her water bottle, then coutinued to do stretches, now that she had done a warmup to get started.
''I know it wasn't my best, but I've been working hard on it. I've also been practicing my powers over there," Kameron said, motioning toward an open area for hologram training. I could show you what I've been working on, if'd you'd like to. I have the power of fire. What're your powers? she asked curiously.
She waited for Ember and Maria to reply. She couldn't wait to show them more gymnastics, along with her fire abilities. She was so happy to have a couple of new companions.

Ember watched her sister fall to the ground after missing the bar with her hand. She giggled slightly. Bars had never been her sister's strong suit. "Yeah I'm going to practice. The Heavens know I need it if I'm going to beat Trista in the IGA Classic next month." Ember did a few laps around the equipment to warm up her muscles then proceeded with her stretching. Neither of them could afford to have an pulled muscle or injury this close to the Classic. They had come in 2nd and 3rd in the classic for as long as they had competed. Trista was the one gymnast they couldn't beat. "Oh My Gosh, That was so awesome." Ember said to Kam. "You have fire powers? That is even more awesome! SO DO I! Wow! I knew I would love this school. An awesome place to practice my routine, a new friend and on top of that we share the same kind of power over fire. This is too cool!" Ember was exstatic. This day just kept getting better and better. Now she had another person to practice gymnastics with and someone she could practice her fire powers with. She was completely amazed that she met someone with fire powers, her parents and relatives told her that fire powers were a rare power to inherit.

"I think both of you are amazing gymnasts," Kameron commented. "Would you like to come over to the hologram training area with me? I'll show you my powers, and you can show yours," Kam said with a smile. She hoped that Ember would accept her offer, and hopefully they could get to know each other a little better. All she really wanted was to make some friends.

"Sure I'll come with you. Just let me get shower and get changed. I don't really want to be all sweaty and smelly. That is definately not attractive." Ember laughed as she ran across the room and into the lockerroom to shower and change. When she returned Maria was coming into the lockerroom. "Hey Maria, are you coming to the Hologram training area with us?" Ember asked her sister.
