[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.

Ehehe, I knew I wasn't going to die in the first place. I've been through worse before.

I dunno, you could always slip in some thing here and there- that'll probably help out too.

And if it comes down to it- just slip something in their drink; they'll never know. Pom poms burning is secondary.

I can't really resort to sabotage. I can do the flips, it's everything else I'm worried about.

Everything else, huh? What is that exactly? I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to cheerleading, ya know.

Makes two of us.

Jumping, right? I don't have a lot of practice with it.

Hm, jumping...

[He's going to hop a bit in place.] You mean like this, right? Can't be too hard, ehe.

Like this. I can do it on the ground, but I've never tried it in the air.

...ah, those kind of jumps. See, I never knew they got so technical in cheerleading in the first place. Shouldn't be too hard.

[Not like he's actually attempting to do it himself.]

Harder than I'd like. The girls I'm against have been working at it for a lot longer.

Yeah, I would imagine going up against real cheerleaders would be a real hassle in the first place. But it's something you can manage, right?

I hope so. There's a lot riding on it so I have to try.

Uggg...I just get so mad at her!

...eh? Her? Do you have some sort of grudge against someone?

Wanda...my mom. Her idea of helping me with losing the scholarship is not telling me.

...wait, hold on, your mom's not telling you something all so you can...? Wow, that's... really dumb.

Yeah, she thinks it'll work out so there's no need to tell me. Nevermind that my scholarship was cancelled LAST semester.

What? Jeez, it really doesn't seem like things are going your way. Well...look on the bright side, you might get in on this cheerleading thing!

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping. It's a shot, anyway.

Hm...maybe you could show me what you have down already? I mean, nothing hurts without a little constructive criticism from someone.

[She begins to click through the community, finally providing a link.]

Here. Great intro, huh?

[...ok, admittedly, he begins to laugh quite a bit at that.]

Haha, wow, it really did catch you off guard, didn't it? Still, it seemed pretty good from what I saw.

[...but you just...laughed at it...!?]

[She grins too, nodding.]

Yeah, maybe they'll laugh so hard that they'll keep me around.

Ah, that's it- maybe you could be worked in as a mascot of some kind, too! ...or, well...ah, maybe that won't exactly work...

Not sure we have one. Besides, there's only one spot on the squad open and that's only because one of the cheerleaders fell from the top.

Ah, really? ...wait, I would be really stressing it out if it's just one spot open. You sure you're going to be fine with this in the first place?

I have to be. I can't stay here forever.

Well, all the hope in the world to you then. Honestly, though, I can totally see you being a cheerleader.
