Chapter 3

As soon as I climbed out of my bed the next morning, I could hear the soft sound of rain. I quickly pulled on my robe and scrambled to the kitchen for breakfast. I had just realized -- Today was going to be one of the best days ever! --. "Good-morning Mom" I said sitting down at our small dining room table. " Good-morning Rose, I was just reading a article about the Olympic Gymnasts, How did you sleep last night?" Asked Mom. "Good, But I had a question, Well....The Fierce Five have a autograph signing here...In town....Can we go?" I asked, Soon after a huge smile spreading on my face. "Sure! Would you like to take your Friends, too?" Mom asked, Soon after my answer was "YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!". Then I started Day-dreaming about how awesome it would be to meet them. Then I walked to the phone, I called Hannah first. And her answer had been the same as Mine "YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!". Then I called Kara, then Freyya, and then Leanna. I thought it would be nice for my whole Gymnastics team to meet them -- They are like our Role Models! Or there at least my Role models! --.

                                                                       ♥♥♥

After a breakfast of Pancakes and bacon, I started to walk to the Gym. It had been raining now for about an hour or so. I was cold and numb by the time I got to the Gym, but it was all worth it. After I got there, there was a happy bustle of excitement going threw the Gym. My Heart leaped when I saw Hannah practicing a In-Air split on the Beam. But today, Leanna wasn't there. I guessed that she was still recovering from her minor injury. This meant that I was late. But, Luckily I had only missed Beam warm-ups. So I pulled off my sweats, and hurried over to the Beam. Hannah did a great Split -- Actually even higher than a split! --. Then she did 3 cartwheels and her dismount. Next up was Freyya, who still seemed nervous and worried. Freyya did her whole routine good except she didn't nearly go as high was Hannah on her splits, but she was still great -- especially for a nervous person! --. "Girls, Water break!" Coach Anna said in a bit of a more louder voice so that everyone could hear. I ran like a race horse! I ran to my locker and took 2 sips of water, and ran back to the Mats. Everyone did their warm ups including me, and this time I noticed improvement! My left Split went further than ever! And the same with the rest of the team. After we finished Warm-ups, then we went to floor -- We didn't need to go anywhere! --.Hannah was up first, she went threw her routine perfectly! "Very nice, Hannah! You have pointed toes, Legs straight. I can tell you really try hard!" Coach Anna praised, A smile crossing her face, "I'm proud of you." She said again to Hannah. "You really do work hard" I said, and gave Hannah a wink. "Thanks" Hannah replied, I could tell she was flattered by all of the compliments. Next was Kara, Kara did mostly everything great, except she stumbled a tiny bit on her finish. "Thats Okay, Kara. Now I can actually see that you are trying your best" Coach Anna said, with a nod of approval. Next up was me. I did everything Pretty well -- I think. "Nice" Coach Anna said to me. I really wanted more than "Nice" But that was Okay! Next was Freyya, I was sure she was still nervous, and again, It showed. After the whole team had finished, we moved onto Vault. It was strange, Because I was up first. I was never up first on the Vault! But I did it anyway, I ran, and the jumped on the Spring-Board, Bounced on the vault with my hands, and landed! Coach Anna clapped I smiled, maybe I would make it to the Olympics someday, I never stopped believing that it could happen! Next on Vault was Hannah, She bounded right threw her routine and came out with the same Finish as me. "If there's 2 people making on this team making the Olympics it would be you and.....I don't know who else" I whispered. After Hannah it was Freyya's turn, she must have been extra worried because this was the same -- exact -- vault her BFF got hurt on. Freyya did very good until she forgot to push up on the Vault! Now that must have been scary. But, Freyya was okay. Next was Kara. She did good. She -- yet again -- stumbled on her dismount. After vault we headed over to Uneven Bars. I was so excited! I was up first, I flew threw the bars, I felt as if I were flying. And I did a good dismount, Or, I didn't think I stumbled! "Great Job on your dismount! You have Improved, Rose!" Coach Anna said. After, Hannah, Kara, Freyya and the rest of the team went, I went to get my Gym bag, along with everyone else. I grabbed my Gym bag and walked home.

                                                                          ♥♥♥

Later that day after Lunch I waited for my team Gymnastics to come. I checked my watch 1:32. "Mom, They were supposed to be here 2 minutes ago!" I said, but I meant it playfully. "Yes, I'm sure they'll be here in one minute" Said Mom. I giggled, and went down the hallway to my room. I stuck some of the mini-posters I had printed out last night onto my bulletin board. The mini posters had pictures of Gabby Douglas, Jordyn Weiber, Aly Raisman, Kyla Ross, and Mckayla Maroony. And a couple of Naustia Liukin. Right when I heard a ding-dong at our door, I scrambled to the door. I opened it, it was the whole team! "I'm glad you guys could come!" I said happily. "Us, too!" Hannah, Freyya, Kara, and Leanna said all at the same time. I saw Leanna, then I saw Crutches. "Leanna, Are you alright?" I asked. "Uh, Well, Yeah. I just got a bad sprain, It'll be okay." Leanna said. "Okay, I'm glad you could come!" I said. "Thanks" Leanna said. Soon Mom came out, "Would anyone like anything?" Mom asked. "We want to go!" We all said at the same time, then we all giggled. "Alright, I'll go park the car infront of the house so we don't have to take an adventure threw the garage!" Mom said, Laughing slightly. After Mom had pulled up the Car infront of the house, we all piled in. Luckily we had enough seats!

                                                                               ♥♥♥

After we got to the Arena, I was astonished. It was so awesome! There were seats everywhere -- Not one seat was empty! The bottom of the arena was Huge! It was amazing. The whole Gymnastics team was looking around, astonished like me. As soon as the Fierce Five came out into the Arena, It sounded like there was a bomb of clapping going off! I Clapped extra hard, and so did My Teammates -- or friends. After the introduction, there was beam routines. After the beam routines there was Vault, After they finished Vault, they did their Uneven Bars! I was so excited! Watching the Olympic Girls preform, That was a dream come true to me! After the Uneven bars, they did Floor. It was sooo cool to watch The Fierce Five do their performance It made me want to be in the Olympics even more! After the performance, we headed down to the arena. There, Up close, I saw the Fierce Five. I held up my Autograph Card, "Hello" I said simply. "Hi" They all said, one after another. "So, Do you want to be in the Olympics?" Gabby Douglas asked me, "Yes, I want to go to Rio" I said shortly. "Very cool" Gabby Replied and gave me back my Autograph Card. The rest of the Fierce Five asked me the same, and I had the same reply. I ended up getting everyone's autograph. I was so excited!

                                                                           ♥♥♥

After we got home, some of the girls could stay for dinner, but others could not. So I settled down with Hannah and Kara at the dining table. Mom fixed us Pasta for dinner that night, mine was very good. After Hannah and Kara left, I went to my bed-room. I had picked special frames for my autographs, I smiled at them, Remembering how astonished and happy and excited I had been Earlier. I got on my Pajama's and Once again, Crawled into bed. I fell asleep that night listening to the soft sound of the Rain, pitter-patter, pitter-patter...

Chapter 2

The next Morning when I woke up, I could smell the coldness from the window right next to my bed. I crawled out of bed, still half asleep. I slowly sleep-walked down the hallway and into the kitchen, I could smell the rich aroma of French Toast. After a very delicious breakfast, I headed out to the living-room. I plopped down into the sofa, reaching for the T.V remote. I tryed the News, but it wasn't the news...It was the Olympics! As soon as I heard the 2 words "Womens Gymnastics" I hopped up and ran straight to the phone. I dialed Hannah's phone-number. "Hello?" Hannah's mom said. "Hello, Can I PLEASE speak to Hannah, It's Rose!" I said "Of course you can! I'll go get her." after Hannah had picked up I said "HANNAH! THE WOMENS GYMNASTICS ARE ON!!!! ON THE OLYMPICS!!!! PLEASE COME OVER!!!!!!" I said a little to loudly and excitedly. "I was just going to call you about that! I'm coming right away!" Hannah said. About 10 minutes later, I heard a ding-dong at the door-bell. I ran to open it. "Hannah! Come on! It just started!" I said, jumping up and down. "Yay! I'm glad I didn't miss anything super big or anything!" Hannah said, joining my jumping up and down. "Lets go watch!" I said.

                                                                    ♥♥♥

Right after the Russian team had finished, it was U.S.A's turn, This was where they would announce the Gold medals, or that was tonight at least. This was where someone would win the All-around gold! I was on the edge of the sofa cushion, and so was Hannah! "I'll be right back," I said "Okay, But don't take to long! I don't want to miss a thing!" Hannah said. I ran super quickly to Mom in the kitchen, "Mom, Can you please make us popcorn?" At that, with no reply, Mom got up and handed me a bowl of pop-corn. "I was expecting that question!" She Winked at me. "May I watch with you?" Mom asked "Sure!" I said. I ran out of the kitchen -- Popcorn spilling -- "Ooooh! Popcorn!" Hannah said, "How did you make it so fast?" Hannah asked, "Oh! Mom as expecting us to ask for it!" I said, Giggling a little. Hannah Giggled a little, too. " I cant wait for the Gold Medal Ceremony!" I said, "Are you kidding? Me either!" Hannah replied. After team U.S.A was Romania. Then there was a commercial break -- I loved the commercials on the Olympics --.

                                                                      ♥♥♥

After the Womens Gymnastics was over, we headed over to the Gym. We had to walk, though. There were no buses in sight! so me and Hannah had to walk. But that wasn't a problem, we knew our way by heart. I had been doing it since I was 3, and I think the same goes for Hannah. I looked down at my watch, 10:02 AM. "Hannah, we're here early..." I didn't want to finish my sentance, "Well, Thats not bad at all! We can just do our normal warm-ups on the mats!" Hannah said. "Great idea!" I added. "Wait! Hannah! How about we watch the girls going to the Olympic trails?" I said, "Sure! While doing warm-ups?" Hannah asked "Sure!" I giggled. Hannah joined my giggling. "Hello girls! Your Early again today, I have to go help out with Coach Lydias team for now, Intil the rest of the team arrives. Would you like to come?" Asked Coach Anna. "Yes!!!!" Me and Hannah said at the same -- exact -- time. "Alright, Follow me!" Coach Hannah led us to the far side of the Gym -- Either me or Hannah hadn't been over here before --. I stopped to get a good look at each of the Girls, for they might be representing our country one day! I noticed that Hannah did the same. I watched them do perfect Hand-springs on the Beam, and even more than splits in the air! I bet they could even touch their forehead with their feet! I noticed a big smile cross Hannah's face when she watched a blond girl -- that looked like her -- whip threw her perfect Floor routine. I smiled when I saw a girl on the Uneven Bars. "Alright Girls, I'm back! Lets get to work!" Coach Lydia called out to the girls. Me and Hannah walked back to our mats and started stretching. "Am I late?" Kara suddenly asked when she walked onto the mats, "You scared me! And no, you're right on time!" I smiled. "Thanks" Kara said, plopping down into the mats and started stretching with us. As soon as our whole team was done stretching, we moved on to floor. "First up, Hannah. You know your routine right?" Coach Anna said. "Yes, Coach, I practice every day." Said Hannah. Hannah went threw her routine beautifully. " Very nice Hannah! No mistakes at all!" Coach Anna praised. Leanna was up next. She flew threw her routine, But fell straight on her foot. "Are you Okay?" Me, Hannah, Kara, and the rest of the team asked her all at the same time. "Yeah I think I'm fine" Leanna said. She tryed to get up but she couldn't. Coach Anna helped her up and to the sitting area for the Parents. Next was me, I was a little scared to go right after Leanna because she had gotten injured. I went though. I did everything Okay. But, Coach Anna wasn't around to spot me. As soon as the whole team went, we waited for Coach Anna. When Coach Anna came back she said "I'm sorry, Leanna is hurt, and pretty bad." She said, Nodding her head. Another girl, Freyya, gasped. Freyya was her best friend, Like I would have gasped if Hannah or Kara had gotten hurt. Next, we headed over to Bars. I was up first. I landed pretty well. I just had to re-gain my balance when I swung off. Hannah went, she was pretty good. Then was Kara's turn. She was Okay, she just stumbled on her landing. "Kara, I know that you can improve your landings! Please try a little harder, I don't mean to be mean or anything." Coach Anna said Sternly, but Kindly. "I'll try harder" Kara said in a small voice. Next was Freyya's turn, she seemed so nervous she couldn't even try to hide it! Freyya went, and did small mistakes on almost everything. "Freyya! Please try much harder." Coach Anna said a little Sternly, I could tell that she was getting impatient. After Bars we headed over to beam, First up was me. I did an okay Cartwheel, and a better Handstand. My dismount I was honestly a little worried about. But I did it, and I didn't get hurt. Next was Hannah's turn she did a nearly perfect cartwheel, followed by a small Hand-stand. "Very nice, just try to kick those legs a little bit more on that Handstand" Coach Anna said Kindly. I could tell that Coach Anna was glad to see someone who did it so well. Next was Kara, she seemed a little bit nervous, and didn't stick her landing. But that was okay. At least this time I could tell she tryed hard. I smiled at her effort. Today we did Vault, too. I was nervous at first, but turns out, It could quite possibly be one of my best events! Hannah again did nearly perfect, for a first try, it was spot on though. Next was Kara, she -- again -- fell on her landing. Then was the now very nervous Freyya. Or thats at least what me --- and I could tell the whloe team -- thought. Freyya was so nervous she forgot to push up on the Vault! So she fell.

                                                                          ♥♥♥

After Gymnastics, I headed home -- with Hannah to see the Gold Medal ceremony! --. I checked my watch, 1:34 My jaw dropped -- a little --. "Whats wrong?" Hannah asked, "It's 1:34! We've been at Gymnastics for 3 hours!" I said. By now, Hannah's jaw dropped, too. "Hey, look! it's your cat!" Hannah said, I saw Sydney's trustful green eyes staring up at me. "Uhh, What day is it again?" Asked Hannah. I giggled. "Hannah, It's a Saturday!" I said, talking while giggling. As soon as we walked into my house, Mom walked up to us "A late lunch for 2 hungry girls" Mom said in a half french accent. "Bona-petite Girls!" Mom said as she served us a meal of fried Chicken. "Should I try and eat it with my fork? Since we are fancy people today?" Asked Hannah. I giggled. After lunch me and Hannah went back to watching the Olympics. By this time, the swimmers were on.

                                                                         ♥♥♥

That night we were watching the Womens Gymnastics finals. "I think the Medal ceremony is happening soon!" Hannah said. "Me, too!" I said, I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see who would win the All Around Gold! Soon, Mom came out with dinner. "Okay, Mom, Are you that fancy person again? Because I don't Pizza would fit in the theme" I said Giggling and Hannah was, too. "No, no no! But, If you'd like I will!" Mom teased. "Nnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeerrrrrrrrrr!" Me and Hannah said at the same time. "Alright, Alright, Alright. Here's your meal, Pizza! Peperoni and Cheese!" Mom said. "Okay!" I said. All Hannah did was grab her plate and start eating! At the Gold medal Ceremony later that night was fantastic! I figured out that team U.S.A won gold for all around! Just then, Hannah looked at my watch, then I did. 9:47 PM "I have to leave" "My Mom wants me back before 10:00, It only went late because it's a special occasion" Hannah said, Imatating her Mom when she had told her. I giggled. "Bye" Hannah said, "Bye" I said. After a quick hug Hannah left.And I rushed to the computer -- when I was supossed to be putting on my Pajamas -- I wanted to print out the poster-picture of the Fierce Five when they for their Gold Medals! So I printed it out and walked to my bed-room and stuck it on the wall. "Perfect" I said quietly to myself. I slipped on my Pajamas and crawled into bed just like the previous night.

Chapter 1

I sat at my desk at School, it was 2:59 PM, and I got out at 3:00. I couldn't wait for Gymnastics that day, It was the starting of the week break I had taken because my family had gone camping. But now I couldn't wait to be back at the gym, whirling around the bars. As soon as the clock struck 3:00, I ran out of my seat, "Rose, the bell has not rang yet, we're not out of School." My teacher, Miss Hunnington said. My heart sank, all I wanted to do is spring up to the Gym. "It's okay, Rose! Hey! Heres a joke! In a dark dark universe there was a dark dark planet, and on the dark dark planet,  and there was a dark dark city, there was a dark dark house, and in the dark dark house, there was a dark dark hall-way, and in the dark dark hallway, there was a dark dark room, and in the dark dark room there was a dark dark closet, and in the dark dark closet there was a dark dark jacket, and on the dark dark there was a dark dark pocket, and in the dark dark pocket, there was.........A pink jelly-bean!" said my friend Hannah. I giggled, I have to admit that was funny, but a long joke it was. "Girls, how about you make some jokes about  Math, were on page 336." Said Miss Hunnington, grinning half-ly. "Well, I believe thats all for todays Math lesson, now you can go get your book-bags, and be on your way!" she added. I was the first to spring up, along with Hannah. Me and Hannah bounded straight toward the door, then picked up our back-packs -- and Gym bags, and we were even early for the bus! So after about a 4 minute wait, the bus finally came.

                                                                       ♥♥♥

After a long -- Actually 2 minute -- bus ride, we finally were there! I was running a little to fast actually. As soon as we zoomed into the door, I could see how surprised Coach Anna was to see us running so fast. "Well, Welcome girls! We'll meet on the mats in a minute, I have to go talk to Coach Lydia" Coach Lydia was the coach for the Pre-Olympians -- the girls making it to the Olympic trials! -- I hoped to be there someday. As soon as I was in my Leotard, I ran to Hannah's locker to wait for her.About 1 minute later Hannah came out, around a hall-way. "Lets go to the mats!" I said, it felt as if  I was floating! I was so exited to be back in the Gym! I had only been gone for a week, but that was alot! Considering the fact I trained 4 days a week. As soon as we were on the mats, Kara -- My other friend -- walked up. "Hello!" Kara said. "Hi" me and Hannah said at the same time. Kara sat next to leanna another girl on our team. After we stretched and did our Warm-ups, we headed over to the Beam. Hannah flew threw her routine -- Cartwheel's and Handstands. Next it was my turn. After I whipped threw my routine, it was Kara's turn, She had stumbled a little bit after her first Cartwheel, but that was fine. After my whole team had gone threw the Beam, we headed to Bars -- the uneven bars! -- I felt a ping of excitement hit me! Hannah was up first, She landed her uneven bars. "Please work on your toe pointing, Hannah" Coach Anna said, Kindly. I whirled threw my routine, "Rose, Please remember not to have bent knees when your doing your split," She said, again very kind. "I'll work on it." Me and Hannah said at the same time. After everyone had gotten a turn on the Bars, we headed over to the Floor. This time, Kara was up first, she -- again -- stumbled a little on her landing. Next was Hannah, I could tell that she always tryed her hardest, -- and it always payed off! She looked as if she was born to do Floor! Next up was me, I did my Hand-spring, In-air split, and my backwards split roll.

                                                                             ♥♥♥

After Gymnastics, I rushed into my house, it had started to rain, lightly though. "Hello Rose! Your late for dinner, but thats Okay, I got home only about 20 minutes ago, and Sydney has been keeping me company." Said Mom. Sydney is my Cat, -- and Companion. After dinner, I slowly walked to my bed-room. It was a small place, but I still loved it. It was crammed with posters of  The Fierce Five, and a ton of Gymnasts. By now, it was nearly 8:30, so I put on my Pajamas, and walked slowly down the hallway to Mom. "Mom," I began, "Yes?" Mom said warmly, "Can---You-----Help---Me----get----to----the---Olympics? Or at least the trials?" By now, A huge smile had spread across my face, "If you'd like" Mom said, and joined my Smiling. Later that night I walked back to my bed-room, I checked my watch, 9:30! Oh well, I must have spent to much time telling Mom about my dreams I thought, recalling that dreamy voice I had when I told her. I yawned, Besides, I am tired. I crawled into my bed, just thinking about the Olympics, and what a dream it would be to live. And Sure enough, that night, I did have a dream about the Olympics.
