Phys. Ed: Week 7, Period 1 (Fri. 2/20)

The Danger Shop was still a gym and the man with the whistle was still Ronon, but in the spirit of spring break, there was a special assignment for the day and a whole slew of mats to do it on.

"Congratulations, today you're all cheerleaders," Ronon announced happily. "Being a Gremlin for a day is an honor and will be treated as such. There's a handout with a list of cheers and tumbling routine ideas. You guys get to perform for the class as a group, pairs, or on your own for your midterm test." He was mean. "Now, for the day your normal uniforms have been replaced with complete cheerleading uniforms and pom poms. Get suited up and have fun."

Reno's reply was something of an incoherent grumble into the mat and a shake of his head as he pushed himself up again.

"'M fine, 'M good. Never better. I usually land that one, zoto."

Just apparently not with an audience.

"Well, if you usually land this way, I'd suggest you try a different flip because it's not really a very pretty landing. Even on the mats." She grinned and turned her phone around to show him his face planted into the padding.

Reno was going to take that opportunity to check out his reflection on the phone's screen and fix his hair.

Okay. Good to go.

"I'll have to work on that, then, huh?"

"Totally have to work on it." Momoko agreed and closed her phone when he was done. "But seriously, your flips, the ones you were doing before? They really are good! I don't know how you managed to get so high and make yourself twist and turn like that! Unless you can actually fly, because it looks like you're swimming in the air for some of them. It's really awesome."

"Nah. Can't fly, but I'll take the compliment." Reno grinned and gave his shoulders a shrug. "You just practise enough, you can pull off junk like that, yo."

~~Also, Square-Enix didn't believe in the laws of physics.~~

"I am fairly sure talent has to be in there somewhere, too, you know? Unless you're like one of those ancient society of monks who's been trained since birth in a secret style of martial arts but then you left to experience the real world and now use those skills in everyday life even though the monks keep sending people after you to bring you back or kill you." She watched entirely too much tv.

Reno had to take a moment to let that all sink in.

"You," he decided, "are a real weird kid, yo."

And then he grinned. "Ain't no monks involved, but I kinda like it!"

Momoko grinned back and gave a thumbs up. "I get that a lot! The weird part, not the monks."

"Hey, if you gotta do somethin', might as well get noticed for it, huh?" Reno returned the thumbs-up with a grin. "You do any kinda tumblin', Momo?"

She pocketed her phone. "Just the normal girly stuff- easy jumping, splits, cartwheels, somersaults, handstands. You know? I only had regular gym glasses, so I can't do fancy tricks in the air unless I actually am flying."

"You can fly?"

Hey, around here, it was a perfectly normal question, okay?

A perfectly normal question anywhere if you're Momoko.

"M-hm! But only when I transform, and for some reason it doesn't let me do the really cool stuff when I'm not, so I have to stick to the normal gymnastics that anyone can do who hasn't been raised from birth by a secret society with no monks. I can do a really mean cartwheel!"

Reno considered this for a moment. And then he grinned. "Show me, and maybe I'll think about teachin' you how to flip, zoto."

Momoko took a second to consider, then shrugged. She was in PE class anyhow and supposed to be cheering. Plus, she really did do a mean cartwheel!

She stepped to the edge of the mat and demonstrated.

"Heeeey, not bad," he decided, putting his hands together a few times. See, that was totally applause. "Now, you trust me not to drop you on your head? Can't promise you won't end up on your ass a few times, but your head's safe, you got my word on that, yo."

"Thank you, thank you!" Momoko made a slight curtsy in response to the applause, then folded her arms and looked him up and down. "I've just seen you fall face-first, remember? You may not want to promise you can keep my head safe."

She winked. "But you're on! I wanna learn that one you did right before you fell!"

Now, that earned a laugh.

"No fair, I got distracted, yo. Threw off my whole equilibri-whatever." He grinned and crossed his arms over his chest. "You just wanna show me up, zoto. I'm on to you."

He didn't really mind all that much. Momoko was like his little sister by proxy or something.

"Let's start you with somethin' a little easier, first, then. C'mere, I'll play springboard."
