Training was harder today as they had a match incoming so the physios suggested ice baths to help the tillies' muscles.

At 10.30 training was over everyone started making there way towards the ice baths.
"We're doing ice baths?!" Madi called out "why'd no one tell me?!" She asked shocked
"Coz if you knew you would've skipped" macca said truthfully
"Not true" madi said quietly rolling her eyes while everyone gave her the 'your joking right?' look and she sighed "fine, whatever you guys are right" she puffed and started walking back to her room to sneak off early thinking everyone forgot about her doing an ice bath but mini caught her and brang her back but heaps of the other girls got off coz they didn't need one.
"Mads you have to do your ice baths" mini said sternly as she walked with her to the ice baths
"Sorry mini" madi said, sad that she had made mini mad or disappointed in her. When they arrived the media manager said she wanted to film a little bit of everyone getting in the ice bath.
(Bold is media manager)
Mini led madi to an ice bath where Kyra was waiting to go in and they waited to be told what to do.
"Ok we'll get Kyra and Madi in this one, mini in that one with Lydia, ellie in there and E-V-E in that one by herself" she explained and everyone went to the ones they were directed to. "Ok we'll start with over here with you hopping in first and we'll do snippets of all of yous, Kay?" She asked and everyone nodded. She followed them to the bath they were directed to go in and started filming.
(*if in this then filming* if not then irl/ bts)

*someone got into the ice bath with her phone in her hand
"Did you see how graceful that was?" She asked looking at the camera
"Very graceful, like a ballerina" *madi called out to her and did a little spin while having her arms above her head and everyone laughed
"You totally could've been a ballerina" Kyra commented
"Thanks Kyra" she said and the two laughed again at the sarcasm that Kyra said it with.
"Ok Kyra your up" the media manager called and Kyra stepped up to the bath
"Good luck Ky" madi called
"What do you mean your coming in after me" Kyra said laughing and shaking slightly
* "I am in" Kyra said to the camera
"No your not" madi said quietly in the back round and Kyra glanced at her then back at the camera with a shocked expression
"My foots touching the floor" she said proudly*
"Kay Madi your up" the manager said and madi groaned while Kyra laughed
*madi went up the steps with her phone in her hand
"Kyra can you pretty please hold this real quick?" Madi asked holding out her phone
"Yeah as long as we can watch TikTok together because I forgot my phone" Kyra said in a desperate/ serious tone
"Ok" madi said laughing as she reached the top step
"Can I jump?" She asked looking at the media manager
"I wouldn't recommend it but if you want" she replied and madi shook her head before getting in
"My feet can't touch the floor!" She yelled kicking her legs to keep her afloat
"If your feet don't touch the floor your not in properly" Kyra said and they laughed as madi went to the edge to hold on*
"Ya Kay?" Mini asked walking over to madi seeing her chattering and holding onto the edge for dear life
"Yep-pp" madi said holding a thumbs up and popping the P due to her chattering lips.
* "if youve never been to the Antarctic, this will replicate it" E-V-E said*
"It's so cold!" Madi called out shivering while Kyra nodded her head and Kyra held up madi's phone for Face ID before they began watching TikTok's.
*madi and Kyra in the pool shivering while lyds is singing in the back round
"What are you guys watching?" The man behind the camera asked Kyra and madi
"Edits of ourselves" madi said proudly and Kyra laughed "joking we're watching Matilda's edits because we're die hard fans and would do anything to meet them and wanna be exactly like them one day!" Madi said acting like a fan girl before her arm slipped and she fell into the ice bath and got up to her the collar of her Matilda's shirt wet as everyone laughed at her*
*E-V-E holding up the piece sign with her muesli bar half eaten*
*minis bout to get in her ice bath with lyds
"10 degrees for 10-15 minutes is the appropriate temperature and duration for an effective ice bath" Tony called to mini as Ellie walked past*
* "you sit in here for, the gurus say about 10 minutes but for me 6 does the trick for E-V-E." E-V-E says to the camera while holding up her shirt to not get it wet.*
"Kay Ellie you wanna be on film too?" the manager asked Ellie and Ellie just shrugged
"Yeah sure, why not?"
*ellie was on the top stair holding her thumb up with one hand and her phone and a drink in the other before going to hop in.
"Don't drown mini" Tony said to mini as she got in and you could hear madi and Kyra's distant laughs.
"You reckon I'll be able to touch the bottom?" Mini asked
"Well Madi can't so we'll just have to see. You'll have to tread water for 10 minutes like her" everyone laughed. Ellie was lowering herself in, her shirt in her mouth to not get it wet.
"Do you want some more ice?" Tony asked her "some ice thrown in for some good measure?" Ellie nodded her head "you do?" She nodded her head again "where's the ice machine?" He asked going to find it*
*mini was in the ice bath now.
"I hate ice baths, why do I even do them?" Mini asked
"Umm can I get a step please?" Madi asked
"Yeah someone get madi a step, she can't reach the bottom" he called out and someone brought a step for madi to stand on. Mini cringed as the water got colder*
steph came into the room in her puffer jacket ready to hop into the bath with Ellie.
*steph pulled up her puffer jacket a little and lowered herself down into the water
"Oh no" she said feeling the cold water 
"Mhmmm drop" ellie said*
*Kyra and madi were in the ice bath flapping their hands trying to stay warm
"High knees" madi said trying to do high knees on the step but nearly fell but luckily grabbed onto kyra and almost making her fall aswell.
"Oops sorry" she said hugging Kyra from behind and putting her head on the older girls shoulder and smiling innocently
"Cool vibes!" Lydia said from the ice bath behind them "it's cool!"
"It's cool vibes" Kyra said putting up the rock and roll hand signal
"cold vibes!" she said matching Kyra hand signals  "Did anyone set a timer?!" She asked as an after thought
someone put their hand up saying they put on a timer and that Kyra and madi could get out now.
"THANK THE LORD!"* madi called out as she swam to the side to get out of the ice bath Kyra following but hit madi's step.
" your step was in the way!" She called out to the girl who had just got out and was running to Caitlin who had a towel
"I'm sorry" she yelled back as she reached Caitlin who was now holding the towel out waiting for her so she could wrap her up while Kyra had to grab one herself (perks of being the baby of the team)
"Thank y-you I'm so c-cold!" Madi said her teeth chattering as she spoke. Now that she was out of the water and the breeze was blowing on her she felt colder than she did in the ice bath. Caitlin wrapped the towel around her freezing figure as madi pulled it tighter around her body.
"All good go stand in the sun" she instructed and madi quickly left to go outside Kyra following when they met Charli outside.
"Hey little one!" She said happily opening her arms for madi to hug her and she did
"Thanks Charli I'm getting warmer now" the young girl said as kyra went behind madi and hugged both the girls
"Me too" she said they laughed before going to sit in the sun for a bit.
