Fandom High School

"Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, everyone," Jessica said. "But we're going to have to do a little bit of actual work today, because we have something to cheer."

Loki just beamed at that. "We shall cheer on love."

It was possible his smile was one of schadenfreude.

"Next week is that speed dating thing at the karaoke bar," Jessica said, trying to avoid specifics so she could ignore the fact that she'd ended up participating last time through no fault of her own. "And that can be kind of a nerve-wracking thing." Not that she had any experience with that. "So we're going to help encourage people. Or, at the very least, give them something to gawk at so they have something to talk about right away."

"It will be good practice," Loki added. "And we need all that we can if we wish to make regionals."

What were regionals? Had he been watching those cheerleading movies again? Was Beyonce's little sister in one of them? Yes to both. Regionals, however, would remain a mystery.

Jessica gave a brief questioning look since she'd never heard him say the word 'regionals' before. She hoped this wasn't going to be a Thing. "So, we have the uniforms you ordered and a thing to wear them to. And that means today we're going to have to do a few routines. It won't be anything too bad, I promise." After all, if somebody did a lazy cartwheel into a zombie, who knew where a rotting arm might land?

"Oh, and we must come up with cheers! Either ones that rhyme or insult our opponents." But who are the opponents in a speed dating event? Loki, you need to stay off Wikipedia.

"... Not opponents. Don't heckle the daters, people, even if you really like one of the pairings," Jessica sighed.

Loki was more than a bit excited to start this club up. Because it would grant him power over people. As Student Council did very little to allow him to boss people around other than for dances.

So...

"Greetings, those who wish to become cheerleaders! I am Loki and this is Jessica. We will be judging you today." Judging you so much.

"We may not know the first thing about cheerleading, but it's not like that kept us from restarting the squad in the first place," Jessica said, doing her best to set the bar low. "We also only have one sports team, and I'm not even sure who they play against. But again, not stopping us. Such is the power of cheerleading." She sounded very convinced.

They were a former genocidal villain and the cross-gender clone of Spider-Man. They could do anything. "It is lacrosse. There are sticks," Loki informed her helpfully. "I have learned from Wikipedia, that this involves cheering and gymnastics. So, we ask that you give us an example of both things."

Try it in iambic pentameter. He dared you.

"If you want to use pom-poms for either portion, we found the squad's old equipment and dusted it off, so you don't have to worry about making yourself sneeze in the middle of spelling something," Jessica said. "Unless you're allergic to spelling, in which case what are you even doing in a school?"

"...right." Loki was judging your quips in preparation of the potential cheerleaders, Jessica. "So, we hope to see your best. And if you did not sign up at the club fair, we are still taking all those who are interested."
