Intro to Performing Arts | Friday, 2nd Period

[defenderofdesmoines]

"Hey everyone!" Annie waved with a hand that was clutching a brightly-colored beanbag, while clutching two more in her opposite hand. "I know I promised more singing stuff this week but - " She grimaced. "I don't know about you guys, but...I kind of need a little, um, space from all things singing after last weekend. So, apologies, but we're skipping around a little in the syllabus."

She neatly tossed one of the beanbags up, following it with the other two until she was juggling all three pretty easily. "Juggling! Not everyone is like, a singer, or a dancer, or an actor - but pretty much anyone can learn to juggle as long as you've got a little patience."

And even if you didn't, you had a whole hour of class to get through before she was going to let you all leave, so you might as well learn to juggle.

Annie caught her beanbags with a smile, then launched into an a brief explanation of how to juggle three things. "If you're feeling ambitious," she added, "there's plenty of beanbags. Oh - and please try not to knock over my plant."

She indicated a very nice spider plant on the corner of her desk. It was a gift from a student, you see.

The gift he didn't know about? That one? The one he should only get before travelling to the 1960's where he couldn't use it?

"Try not to let him kill the plant."

Yes, that gift. Exactly. She sure was showing him!

"I revived this plant," Annie pointed out. "I won't let it die, don't worry."

Also maybe Diego would learn to take care of a plant! It was a great lesson in responsibility for most, like, seven year-olds.

Yeeeeah, good luck there, Annie.

"It wasn't going to die." Plus, it afforded him a place to hide weapons in Diego's apartment.

"You know, I don't know if you know this about plants, but they usually don't like to be knocked over," Annie shared helpfully. "It could have died!"

Also seriously - between the weapons that would apparently be hidden in this plant, plus the various knives, plus the occasional addition of Annie herself - this was getting to be a really a well-armed apartment.
