The Big Switch

Chapter 3

She told me to put all my stuff in the guest room. I put my things right next to Andreas. It must have been 5 because Gianna's mom asked us what we wanted for dinner.

"Pizza?" Gianna suggested.
"I'm not ordering, but we can do home made, and salad on the side," Gianna's mom, Joelle said.
"Mmm!" I said
"Sounds great," said Andrea.
"Well I then will have to run to the store and get the stuff. Elaine is here, you girls behave," Joelle said.
"We will," we all said.
Elaine was Gianna's grandma, the other owner of WC.

"What do you guys want to do?" Gianna asked.

We must of thought for 10 minutes. Then Andrea suggested tumbling out side. We all agreed. We stretched and ran a lap around her house to warm up. Gianna's backyard was the size of a spring floor, it was perfect. Also, nice and flat, no bumps! Gianna has grass paint so she always draws lines, just like a regular cheer gym floor. I picked a line and threw a back handspring, then a double bhs, then triple. Then going back I did a running backhandspring, then running double, then triple. If you can't tell I always take baby steps warming up my tumbling. Then I did a triple bhs to tuck, the double to tuck, then bhs to tuck, then running. I eventually got to double fulls. We all got done warming up. We decided to pretend to be at cheer practice and we were on shooting stars. We got Elaine to come out and be our coach, since she actually does coach shooting stars.

The beginning of the routine, I was in the middle, I did a standing full to double bhs double full. Gianna and Andrea did standing tuck to double bhs double full. Then stunts, Andrea was point, we did a double up to kick scop (Andrea did a needle), then to scale, to arabesque, double down. We did a front walkover to our new stunt groups. I was point now. I did a ball up 360 to heal stretch, high to low to high heel stretch, double down. They did a ball up heel stretch, high to low to high heels stretch, double down. Then jumps. Elaine said Andrea was point, we did lift front hurdler, toe touch, right side, pike. Then turn to front, toe touch, toe touch to tuck. Andrea turned around and did a round off, whip ,bhs, double. Andrea went from the corner and did a front walkover, round off, double bhs, double full. I went from m y corner determined. I did a front walkover, round off, double bhs, whip, double full. Gianna and Andrea went from their corner. Front tuck, front walkover, double bhs, double full. I was last pass. I did front walkover, front tuck, round off, whip, whip, double full. Landed perfect even on the ground! We went to pyramid, which Gianna made up. Then Elaine made a shooting stars worthy dance. We finally learned all of it.

"Finally, we learned it all, let's go through it a couple times!" Gianna said.

Elaine put on my favorite shooting stars mix. 5,6,7,8. We must have went through the routine 6 times. When Joelle came home, we showed her the routine.

"Wow guys, this is great! All of you guys are shooting stars worthy, no doubt about it," Joelle said, proudly, "Now let's make some pizza!"
