It's finally time for our first club practice. Overly excited, Mew and Bright both arrived early to the pool.

"You're going to wear a hole in your lip if you keep biting it." Bright chuckled, "Relax, it's the first meet-up. Someone's probably going to be late because they got lost."

"You're right. But It doesn't stop me from being nervous though." Mew stopped chewing on his lips and started biting his finger nails. "If any of them drops the club, we'll immediately have to disband. I have to make sure everyone's comfortable and wants to stay."

"I'm sure it'll all work out in the end." Bright flicked on Mew's hand to stop him from biting his fingers off. "Right now, though, I need you to get it together and do something with your nervous energy. You're going to make me nervous."

'Ugh, he's right. I should do something, but what?' Mew thought, looking around the pool.

"Maybe I should organize the equipment." Mew exclaimed.

"That's the first thing you did after we arrived to the pool, Mew. You organised and rechecked their counts like a million times already." Bright sighed.

"But there's nothing left to do, Bright." Mew whined. "There's only so many times I can count how many kickboards we have."

"Why don't you just warm up early then?" Bright suggested, pointing to the pool. "Then, whenever everyone comes in, they'll see that our cool president is already hard at work!"

Mew shook his head with a smirk, "Leave it to you to find the silver lining to everything!"

Since Mew has already changed to his swin trunks, he jumped into the water and did a few practice laps. His mind instantly calmed down once he focused on swimming.

'Bright really does come up with the best ideas. I should have done this sooner.' Mew thought, doing a flip turn.

Surprisingly enough, their three recruits all arrive on time. Earth and Tae arrived together first. Tul was almost late. Mew couldn't help but breath a sigh of relief when he saw everyone gathered together.

"What's with the gloomy expression, President?" Tae asked, raising a brow, "Did you think we wouldn't show up?" Looking at Mew's expression, he laughed out loud, "Oh, come on! Have a little more faith in us than that."

"Yeah, this is the first meeting! We can't be late ot too early." Earth shrugged, "Even if Tae did want to get here two hours ago to practice.." Earth gave an evil smirk, side eyeing Tae, "He said he wanted to leave a good impress--"

His words got cuts off by a towel slap from Tae, "I told you not to say anything about that!" Tae's face flushes as he turned away. Surprisingly enough, that breaks the tension Mew felt inside, andhe burst out laughing. 'Of all the people who'd want to get here early ..'

"Alright, I'll pretend I didn't hear anything." Mew smiled, before clapping his hands to start their practice. "For now, I want everyone to get warmed up."

Mew looked at Bright, "Can you lead the exercises, Bright? I'd like to observe for now and see where everyone's at."

Bright nodded and led everyone away from the pool to start some basic exercises and stretches. "Alright, we'll start with jogging in place and then move onto jumping jacks." He led by example and did the exercises with the boys.
