An empty gym, and it was so vast and huge with so many different types of equipment, it was almost like heaven in Ely's eyes. She loves gymnastics, dance, cheer, basketball, badminton, even a sport called pickleball! It was pretty early in the morning, so she decided to get the blood running so her brain would function better. Rolling out a long blue mat she placed it off center, to the side of the large gym, just in case some other students may be coming into use it. Running around the gym for several minutes and getting warmed up with running lines, the regular push-up, sit-up, lunges, jumping-jacks, and hurpies(sp?).
Soon enough her muscles were warm enough to stretch. Stretching her muscles through varies exercises she was finally ready to do some physical activity. First off she started with toe-touches, a jump that starts off with a clap then the arms hit a shape of a 'V' above your head. Your knees bend and your arms come down and up along with your feet. Your toes would be pointed and your hands would be able to touch them, if you could do the splits that is.
"5, 6 , 7 , 8..." she counted the steps for the jump, after doing a few, she grabbed a mini stereo from her gym bag and plugged it into the nearest wall outlet.
A song with a fast beat started to fill the gym, and Ely was getting excited, at first she started to count the steps to the song, but soon after, she was dancing and singing along. It was one of the first time she had ever felt so free. Free from prying eyes, free from the cage of her past and her fascade.
Music was everything she had.

From across the Gym Raphael started hearing the sound of Music coming from the gymnasium. No one heard it except him. Curiosity got to him and he went inside and saw the same girl he encounterd last time. 'Ely..' he thought. He leaned at the doorway and watched her Dance with her heart. She would look better if she were dancing under the moon. She looked beautiful and her movements were hypnotic. Once she turned she would see him with a small smile on his face. "You know i learned to waltz to...care to try?"

Breathing heavily after the last motion of the dance, she let out a joyful laughter but her woman's instinct told her someone was looking. She re-tied her pink hair into a messy bun and turned towards the door. It was the same man she met at the parking lot the other day. The one who encouraged her to be herself. She waved and jogged towards him.
"Hey Morte." she said slightly breathless.
"You know i learned to waltz to...care to try?"
Ely's eyes brightened and her expression lighted up, almost like a Christmas tree. "Waltz! How wonderful! You've got to teach me." she cried happily. Today was a good day, and it started off wonderfully and she couldn't help but smile, a true smile just for the sake of dance.

He smiled when he saw her smile by herself, and not her persona. Then she was gleeful when she wanted him to teach her to Waltz. "Yes mon cheri...id be glad to..." He said unzipping his coat. Surprisngly, and only to Elys delicate jewels of eyes, He wore a Midnight Tuxedo with a stylish Cravet. He lend his hand out and motioned for her to take it. "Shall we dance...?"

"It'll be a pleasure to, kind sir." she said with a fake British accent, laughing a little. Although Morte's dashing midnight tux did not match her 'Adidas' shorts and 'Lululemon' sports shirt, she paid no heed to such a thing. SHe was restless, and her feet itched to dance. The energy and adrenaline driving her insane. Ely had to move, dance, sing , jump, whatever that is possible!
"Ah, and do you mind helping me with a stunt a little later?" she said eyes shimmering with happiness.

"A stunt madame? what stunt does thou wish to pull?" He said, pulling her close so both their hands were together, and his hand around her waist say both of them together. Their bodies were together, They were almost like a painting from the Pre-Victorian era. They looked classical and Dashing. Raph moved his foot to the side and moved up, Now he waited for Ely to do the same. (For the Record...i have no clue how to do the Waltz  ) |

((LOL, alrighty let's just say she's a quick learner and assume they danced?))
Ely learned the waltz quickly, the steps were repeated and the footwork was quite simple. Confusing and hard to pick up at first, but it was not as complex after a few toe squishing steps. When they were done she could not help but have admit she enjoyed dancing, even though it was a little too close for comfort.
As for the stunt he asked about, Ely was just about to explain it.
"Well, it's a cheer stunt! You place a hand on either end of my shoe." she said taking off her shoe and placing it into her hand to demonstrate. "Then I push off the ground and you lift me, and level your hands around chest level. Then when I say, 'Extention, one two, down, up.' extend your hand to the fullest on the up count." she explained and put her shoe back on.
"Don't worry about me, I just hope I'm not too heavy, even though I shouldn't be if I push off enough. Oh, and the landing, I say 'Pop-down, ready? One two, down up.' Bend on the down and push me on the up count, and I'll will fall straight down, and just catch be my the waist." She explained once more, she did not want to do a cradle or log roll or full just yet, since he doesn't have experience.

For the most part, all Raphael could do was blink and have the most utterly confused look on his face. Down, up? one two? Pop-down ready? It would probably his lack of attending pep-rallys and watching cheer leaders well...Cheer. "Eh...'mon Cheri'..i do not understand these...words and phrases you use...." he said abit sad. "could we practice...?"
(sorry for the un-godly shortness)

"Of course, let's just try'em I won't get hurt...much." she said laughing a little. She placed a foot into his hands, and her right hand held onto his shoulder. "Bend when I saw 'down' and stand up straight when I say 'up'." she explained. "One two..."she started and prepared herself with a mini jump, "Down up!" she said, hoping Morte would be able to lift her so his hands are about the height of his chest. If so, she would shoot up into a one legged position her arms in a shape of a 'V' and waist twisted towards the way Morte was facing.

And so he paid close attention to her. His hands were placed out and her foot got onto his hands. She gave him the instructions for the down up call. 'one two...' he counted down for the 'Down up' call. 'Down, Up!' And on the down part he went down, then on the up call he lifted her towards his chest height and held still, he watched her twist her body toward the direction he was facing. "This good mon cheri?"

"Wonderful! You've got potential you know." she said from up high, "now try extending your arm" Elwynn tightened her form and breathed regularly, it has been awhile since she had been in the air. She had always love being the flyer, even though she did prefer thirding.
((Sorry short post...writer's block))

(block part Oo does she mean his Arms or his single arm?)
Raphael Could not help but blush from Elys small compliment to him. "Oh please stop..your making me 'Crimson'..." he said shly, 'Crimson' was his way os saying 'Blush'. And so Ely wanted to know if he can extend his arm or arms up. So Ely was on his hand. And slowly and steadly he began to raise his arm upward. He stopped halfway to breath and then, BOOM. His arm was straight up, And Elys 'Figure' could be seen be anybody.

((Both his arms. x) ))
Ely was lifted high into the air, as Morte extended the stunt over his head. She had to keep herself from laughing too hard or else she might fall, so she could only chuckle at his comment. She felt at home, when she was high above the ground and was thrown into the air, doing crazy stunts like these. Of course...with her friends and team mates. It was like one big family, even though she was still pretending, they were the people whom were very close to her.
The school bell rang for first class and Ely's eyes widened a little. She could not be late for class, and she still needed to grab her books and change out of her PE clothes. "Alright Morte, just do down up again and catch me sort of a bridal style." It was the best she could explain, but it made sense, and she would not injure her knees if she pop-downed. "One two, down up!" she cried and she was thrown high into the air where a front flip into a cradle where it was a form of a sitting position, except the legs fold higher than just ninety degrees and plopped into Morte's arms.

And he watched her do her thing. She looked beautiful, SHe was far more then a doll. She was a living woman. A beauty that only a miracle could bring into this world. Then he heard the bell ring. And he saw her jump into the air, do a flip and then a sitting position. He then caught her, and held her like a groom carried a bride. This was so...so precious...He held for for what seemed like forever. he just...he just liked seeign her in his arms. "Your Beautiful..." HE blurted out softly and gently.

Ely was caught and was not injured, and she could only thank Morte for his help. But what he said absolutely stunned her and made her slightly angry since it was just one of her pet peeves. He told her she was beautiful, and she did not feel privileged nor blush in embarassment. Yet, Morte did not deserve a long line of insults, colourful words, so she just looked at him, with an expression telling him to release her, not in an insulting or cold way.
"Thank you for helping me Morte, but flattery is not something I find charming." she said bluntly.

"I...im...i didnt mean to..." But he let her down and let her go. His heart now ached witha horrible mistake he did. He hated himself for it. "Well better head to class ELy..." he said, looking at the ground, ashamed and bitter to himself. He now regretted everything he said and did to her. He was wondering if what he was doing was right?

"It's not that you should be sorry, I just don't like it when people call me 'beautiful' or 'pretty' because I just don't believe it's true. It's not like I don't like being praised, but it's just, I don't want any lies. I already have too much in my life. Even if you meant what you said, please don't say it again...It was a fun morning Morte, I hope to see you again soon." she said as she grabbed her large gym bag and headed towards the girl's changing room.
"You didn't do anything wrong Morte, it's just that, I'm a bit different." she said loud enough for him to hear across the gym.
