The Gym - Monday late afternoon

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette felt the need to get hot, to perspire, to work her muscles. 

Thus she was at the gym, doing all three. And maybe not necessarily in that order.

Currently? She was on the treadmill.

After the club faire, Pippi came into the gym looking a little unsure.

She walked up to the heavy back and poked at it.

Annette grinned and huffed out, "Whatcha doin', Pippi?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"What I'm doin' is trying to decide what to do." she said giving the heavy bag a gentle push or at least trying to.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Yep, can be a difficult decision." Annette said while running, watching her with the bag.

"It's kind of heavy, Pippi. Maybe something easier?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Actually... It's not heavy at all, not to me." she said pushing the bag, tilting it on its chain up up up until it was almost parallel with the ground and resting on one hand over her head.

"Holy Mother Mar --- Ommmmph!" Annette flew back on the treadmill, forgetting that she was actually on it when she saw Pippi superhero the bag.

"I'm Okay!" She awkwardly picked herself up off the floor and turned the treadmill off, staring at Pippi.

"Holy cow."

"Oh dear. Are you sure?" Pippi said with concern, dropping the bag which swung on its chain as she walked away from it.

Henry snuck into the gym, using almost catlike grace and silence.
Or not. His progress was impeded by a very heavy load. He'd brought in a new punching bag to replace the one that Edward had destroyed (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/962592.html) a couple weeks back.
He was not having fun carrying it. He wanted to know how Edward could break something he could barely lift. How?

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Would you like some help with that?"

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Henry almost managed a smile. "Thank you for the kind offer, but I've got it, Miss..?"
He really was having no such ease, but this was pennance. His own darn fault for letting Edward break things.

"Longstocking." she said taking hold of the heavy bag which isn't that heavy... For her. "Pippi... I think we're in superheroing class together."

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Henry dropped the bag. "What!"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi hefted the bag up to her shoulder.

"What what?"

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Henry was surprised that she could carry it so easily, but the brunt of his shock stayed with what she had said before.
"I'm not in superheroing." Henry tried to calm down. He and Edward looked nothing alike. This had to just be an honest mistake.
Or maybe Pirate Princess was also psychic.
Yeah, that wasn't helping the calming down.

Henry might be all sneaky-like, but Annette saw him, and watched him silently, grinning just a bit.

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Henry shifted the bag to his other shoulder. It was a little better, but he knew it wouldn't be for long. He trudged along.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Maybe someone could help you?" She ventured. "I could try, if you want, Henry?"

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Henry shook his head. "Don't worry about it for a minute, Miss Hargrove. I'm nearly finished moving it. But I thank you for the offer."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"All right, if you're sure." She said, though she continued to watch him.

Even though Tori had gone to the gym yesterday, she felt like getting in another workout.

This time though, she was thinking of practicing routines on the mat, instead of going at the punching bag.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Hi Tori!" Annette huffed out, running on the treadmill.

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Hey Annette." Tori grinned at her friend as she stretched, moving to the mats.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"How's your day been so far?" She asked.

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Pretty good, thanks." Tori smiled, finishing up her stretches. "What did you think of the Conflict Management test?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"It wasn't too bad, really. Course I stayed up late Sunday evening going over notes. Think I did pretty well. What about you?"
