Out Of Bounds

Late Again

(Coach Chris) so how did practice go today with the Jonas boys?

(Taylor) I'm not sure who was tortured more, us or them...

(Coach Chris) that well huh?

(Taylor) they were late for one...

(Coach Chris) well make them do laps...they will catch on

(Taylor) we did but they are also cocky and Joe...ugh...do not get me started on that boys lack of vestibular sensory

(Coach Chris) oh I'm sure he isn't that bad...from what I gathered they already had some tumbling skills it was just rough.

(Taylor) Joe would trip walking, I would bet you money. We MIGHT have him doing a cartwheel when this is all said and done but I think he should just stick to being the eye candy and let the other two do the skills.

(Coach Chris) eye candy huh *raises an eyebrow*

(Taylor) don't look at me that way...it's an expression...certainly not one I agree with in this situation...he's too full of himself.

(Coach Chris) yea well don't forget they are paying you to train them...even if all you can teach the boy to do is a cartwheel

Taylor's POV

5:30 rolled around all too quickly...after attempting to turn off my alarm a couple times with no success I gave it the old heave-ho treatment slamming it against my door and thus stopping its incessant beeping, unfortunately also attracting the attention of C.

(Coach Chris) What the....why are we throwing alarm clocks?

(Taylor) because...WE couldn't turn the damn thing off and it wouldn't stop beeping

(Coach Chris) you are so pleasant in the morning...I can't imagine why you and Joe didn't get along *smirks* you better hurry...you're going to be late.

Taylor's POV

When I pulled up in front of the ranch Izzy plopped in the front seat with a big yawn.

(Isabelle) seriously....couldn't 6 am be just a little later in the day...that would be so nice.

Normal Izzy nonsensical ramblings...although that one I had to agree with.

(Taylor) Seriously?? *glancing up at the clock*

(Isabelle) guess its laps again today

(Taylor) Damn straight

*at 6:15 the boys walk in*

(Taylor) well, well, well, look who decided to show up

(Kevin) sorry, I know we are a few minutes late...

(Isabelle) A few? No, 3 or 4 minutes is a few....you guys are 15 minutes late! Why are you so hell-bent on wasting our time?

(Nick) it wasn't intentional...sorry

(Taylor) whatever ...center of the mats lets stretch

*all three start toward the center of the floor*

(Isabelle) SHOES!

*The boys quickly step off the mat and remove their shoes*

(Joe) oh you are right Nick...she's a real peach

(Nick) man, shut up...

*the boys join T and Izzy on the floor and proceed to stretch, afterward Izzy hops up and runs over to the Lap timer and punches in 15 minutes*

All three boys groan inwardly, knowing it does them no good to complain, and start to run as Izzy hits the start button.

(Isabelle) I'm kinda pissed that they were even more late today...

(Taylor) well that's boys for ya...don't give a crap about you...just themselves and their needs

(Isabelle) ugh, it is too damn early for your man hate Taylor

(Taylor) *joking* awww come on Iz....it's always a good time for man hate *winks*

(Isabelle) *grabbing her grips, a roll of tape and some M wrap* come on...we might as well be productive while we wait

*Izzy quickly wraps her wrists with M and tapes up a couple places on her fingers before tossing the roll to T and putting on her grips*

(Isabelle) *chalking up* what do you think the chances are that we can teach Joe to do something more than a forward roll

(Taylor) ha....I dunno...slim?

*Izzy giggles as she casts on to the bars*

(Nick) hey guys...check it out...*nodding in the direction of Isabelle*

*all three boys nearly slow to a walk as they watch Isabelle fly effortlessly between bars*

(Joe) holy crap...she's really good

*Isabelle dismounts and catches them nearly at a halt*

(Isabelle) HEY! Why aren't you running?

*all three boys immediately start running again**Isabelle runs up and along side Nick*

(Isabelle) are we going to have to run with you guys to make sure you aren't slacking?

(Nick) we weren't slacking...we were just watching you...you are really good.

(Isabelle) HA! Complements will not get you out of laps, sorry. But thank you, I'm going to go practice while you guys finish laps, NO STOPPING or I'll add minutes.
