[A bathroom mirror comes slightly into focus, a faint reflection visible. Once the steam clears, it becomes clear it's Marti, though she's full dressed and seems to only be about to brush her teeth when she notices.]

No.

[Darkness. In community time, it seems like only a few seconds but when it turns back on, Marti is on the couch, books in her lap. Something causes her to look up. Immediately, the books drop as she moves to turn it off. ]

I'm losing to a computer. Great, just the boost I need.

[Black again. Next time, seconds later again, she appears, this time standing in front of it.]

Okay, so, I'm being stalked by a pushy computer who wants to play therapist. So, here's for the sharing and caring...

I have the cheerleader audition today. It's normal to be nervous, right? Right. People are nervous. [She begins to pace.] Especially when something as big as a scholarship is on the line. By the way, thanks again Wanda.

[A deep breath and then she stops.] So, I shared. Your turn. Any tips for a girl who's about to try out for the cheerleading for the first time at a college level?

Alcohol's not an option.

Finally! Some body else who likes fearleading!

*If it wasn't clear, "body" is indeed stated separately so as to make it into a horror pun.*

[Hard core cheerleading? So "intense" it's called fearleading?]

Whoa, I didn't say I liked cheerleading. [But she's already insulted one cheerleader lately.] Does that mean you know a thing or two about it?

Of corpse! Well, it's still my first year, but Cleo's a really intense captain.

Show me some moves? I know it's a lot to ask, but I have a lot ridding on this.

Sure! I have a couple things the community's already posted, anyway.

*Frankie sends links to videos of her and her fellow cheerleaders -- all of whom are just as vaguely nonhuman as she is; the captain's a mummy and there's a werewolf and a pink-skinned vampire -- doing splits, flips, pyramids, etc.*

...What kind of school do you go to, again?

It's an unsegregated school, so it's for all monsters and not just one race! Well, I guess there still aren't any humans, but I think they'd be allowed if any wanted to come.

Monsters. I remember when me thinking about the cheerleading team was the weirdest thing I've seen.

So, the jumps...I'm not sure I can do. I have a background in gymnastics so the flips I can handle.
