Guess who's back on his feet?

THIS GUY!

Finally. I got the a-okay from Mufferaw to get back to dancing and cheering and running and climbing tall things and squirreling and all that stuff. I mean, he used different words. But that was definitely the gist. It's a good thing. I was headed toward stir-crazy.

[...]

Don't worry. I'll ~~try to~~ go easy on it.

And thanks to everyone that played squirrel chauffeur. You guy were lifesavers!

[Hazel]

You. Me. Tree-climbing!! Sometime before you head out for the camping trip today. Y/Y?

You suuuuure he didn't say it like that? Squirreling def sounds like it's in his vocab.

[Ty]
~~Are you sure you should, though?? What if you falll? [...] Ugh when did turn into a party pooper?!~~

Duuuuhhhhhhh

You're probs out of shape by now so I'm going to destroy you though~

It does, doesn't it? Maybe I'm remembering it wrong...

[Hazel]

I am not out of shape!

Bring it on, Haze!

Your poor memory got janky from all that boredom :(((

[Ty]

Ok old man~

[...]

~~Ugh~~

You sure you're like... for reals 100% ok to climb shit?

The dangers of boredom must never be underestimated!

[Hazel]

Hurtful. But I'll feel better when I pass you!

[...]

Yeah. Totally. Everything feels fine now! You don't need to worry or anything.

Seriously! I mean, like, it could have been so much worse. What if you forgot that you owe me ~~$10~~ $20??

[Ty]

You wish ♥ and no squirreling, that's cheating!!

And yeah, ok!! I'm not worried or anything. I just [...] ~~I didn't like that you weren't there~~ I don't want you to get hurt again - I don't need any more quality time with Casey.

Nice try, Haze~

[Hazel]

Squirreling is never cheating. That's just part of who I am now, Hazel! But I won't. Promise.

[...]

I won't get hurt either. I know it's been a weird year. But ~~I've got to be out of bad luck by n~~ I'll be careful and it'll be fine. No big deal. And Casey did fine covering for me, didn't he? It looked like it from the stands. (You guys looked so polished and cool. I got a little misty! 'THAT'S MY SQUAD', you know?)

I blame the collective person known as Todd&Cash for my money grabbing ways~

[Ty]

But consider this: squirreling is always cheating when your little sis can't turn into anything :( And if I could it'd probs be a wolf and those are less good at climbing trees than squirrels. Still, Imma trust that you won't do it ♥

~~Yeah just... be a little more careful?~~ Ok. ♥ And yeah Casey did fine. It's not like he's bad at it or anything, you know? ~~He's just a freakin~~ He's just not you. And also like, I didn't successfully drink Seven Minutes in Heaven out of my memory :| So trying to keep some space there for a bit.

[...]

I'm glad we looked good, though!! It's because you're the best captain.

Edited (icon mind changing up in here) 2017-05-13 04:22 (UTC)

A wolf, huh? Do you think you'll take Animagus Studies next year? You might be surprised what you get. But you should always trust me! No squirreling.

Okay. ♥

[...]

Oh god. I forgot all about the Seven Minutes in Heaven thing. But I guess you wouldn't have!

[...]

But. Haze. I think you and I need to talk about Casey.

For definitely a wolf. ~~Because~~ Since my patronus is a wolf. I mean, I know that's not like a guarantee or whatever, but that makes it way more likely, anyways. I dunno about next year, I'm [...] trying not to really think about it for now.

[...]

...yeah no, I have not forgotten >(

But like.

What do you mean talk about Casey?? [...] ~~Is he making up crap and trying to get me in trouble so that I won't~~ [...] If he said I did anything to him I didn't, I try not to be mean and I just call him loser like I call everyone else and the Ornery Oak thing was totally an accident ~~kind of~~, so if he's like... saying crap like I'm being mean I'm totally not being any more mean to him than I am to anyone else. And anyways he's kinda mean sometimes too. I never like. Give him crap about the work he does or anything, and I offered to help with the dance open house thingie, and I don't ever like call him garbage for reals or anything and I wasn't even mean to him when we were making out. I could've like. Punched him in the gut or something. But I didn't.

No. Haze. Casey didn't say anything. This isn't about anything like that. This is about [...] me and him. I guess. And how that's probably impacted you.

You know Casey and I went to school together way before Gooseberry. And you know he wasn't my favorite guy in the world there or here. But, after working with him so much last week, I think I [...] may've misjudged him. Or misjudged the person he's become, anyway. Because he worked his ass off for the squad and he cares about it a lot and he was actually a good guy to me when I gave him the chance to be. I guess it's been hard for me to see him in a different way because I've known him for so long. I don't know.

[...]

So I'm just going to ask you to give him a fair shake. I'm not saying you two should be best friends. I'm not even saying that you shouldn't roll your eyes at all the posturing and the 'brolita's and everything. I just don't want you two not to get along because of me. I didn't mean to divide the squad, but I did and I should've have. I shouldn't have put you in a position where you had to pick sides.

Because next year I won't be here and you two will be and one of you will probably be the squad captain. And I want you guys to be even better than than you are now.

[....]

Oh.

[...]

~~Yeah but Ty he was a massive asshole so like, why are you the bad guy in any way for like.. still being worried about that?? Like, I mean, he's trying sure but~~ ~~Ooolala he gives a shit about cheer squad that doesn't mean~~

I'm glad he's trying to be less of a dick. And honestly it's not like I like... hate him or anything ~~like fuggin Cora~~, it's just... I don't trust him to not be a raging asshole. Maybe you're right, though, and I should give him more of a chance to like, prove me wrong. ~~It's not his fault he's kinda a meathead~~ And the beef we've got with each other is like... not because of you. At least, not from my side. There are a crapload of people here that I dislike as much as I dislike him and they don't have the same history with you! If you didn't exist (which would be THE WORST THING EVER), Casey and I would still not get along great.

~~I know you're not going to be here, but~~

I'll try to be extra good for you. And I'll try to make nice.

I'm gonna hold you to letting me roll my eyes still though.

I know you and Casey have more problems than the ones related to me, but I doubt it helped you to hear all my probably unfair opinions about him and I doubt it helped him to have me [...] antagonizing him about you being the next captain all the time. I still think you ought to be. I still think you've got a better disposition for it than he does and that you've got a better balance of skills to make it work. But me saying that all the time wasn't the right thing to do. And saying it to him, even as a joke, was a dick move.

You're both amazing athletes and really talented. And you could both do the job. I should've kept my mouth shut. I've got to take some responsibility for that.

[...]

Thanks, Hazelnut. I really think it'd be better if you did.

~~Yeah but your opinions weren't unfair, he did that shit so like, wtf it's not fair to tell people that???~~

[...]

I think I'm more like.. suited for being captain too, but they're not gonna pass up a senior for the job since he's not trash at cheer and he legit cares about it. So I don't know why he'd take any of that ~~shit~~ joking seriously. I'm not worried about it or anything, I'm sure he'll be fine at being captain and junk. He just gets too worked up about crap. And that's not your fault. [...] Yeah, I guess it might feel kinda bad to have your captain say that kinda stuff, though. I don't really help with that, either... maybe I need to cut down on the sass. Sometimes he just makes me so mad But he acts like I'm crap sometimes. And sure they're probably not going to give it to me, but that's not going to be because I'm bad at cheer. I just wish he'd like... maybe acknowledge that sometimes instead of acting like it's like. Not even a possibility. And also like who the shit is immediately like: YOU CAN KEEP HER IF YOU FOUND HER >:|

~~UUGHHHHHHH~~ Whatever, I'm less dumb than him so I gotta be the bigger person or whatever. Barffff.

You can count on me to be nicer. ♥ Promise.

~~That's not what I mea~~

Don't count yourself out just yet, Hazel. You're really talented and you work really hard and you could make captain! You totally could. That's the recommendation I'll be making at the end of the year (whether Ms. Vector wants one or not) and I really think you've got a shot. I mean, look at Azurcrest. They've got plenty of talented seniors on their squad and Kenz still got picked instead of them. So don't give up. Show everyone what you've got during the Hogwarts game and keep working; it's all you can do. [...] Whoever ends up being captain, I just don't want either of you to come out of this with doubts. Especially not because I pitted you against each other.

Casey's [...] hard. When we got into it a few weeks ago, Cricket told me that he 'means less than he says and says less than he means'. And I think she might be right. I don't know. But he came through for me when I needed him to and he was a good guy about it when he didn't have to be. And I think we're in a better place now because of it. I'm not saying he doesn't screw up or that he should say the shit he does without consequence. But he's trying. You know? And we've all got stuff that we're working on.

Thanks, Hazel. I know I can count on you. Always. ♥

[...]

You okay? That's a lot of scratches.

I'm glad you're feeling better, Ty!

Thanks, Pip! ~~Hoop snakes are no match for Ty Hawkeswood!~~

~~We were all headed toward stir-~~ Welcome back to the land of the living, Ty.

[Ty]
[...] How many of your roommates do you expect to vacate the premises this weekend?

Glad to be back, Quinn! ♥

[Quinn]

Well. Chris and Dimi are the only ones camping, but I'd bet that Rafael's going to go see Leo since he's all alone this weekend. Though, he hasn't said anything yet. Probably just me and Robin tonight.

What about you?

That's great, Ty!

SO GREAT. Tess. Do you remember when you (heroically) saved me from the mistletoe? This was so much worse than the mistletoe.

It sounds like it! I'm glad you're feeling better though, I hate to see anything get my favorite cheerleading squirrel down.

Your favorite cheerleading squirrel? Aw, shucks. You're going to make me blush.

Thanks, Tess!

Probably my favorite squirrel ever!

Yep. You did. Definitely blushing!

I better be careful, Quinn might get jealous and beat me up!

Congratulations! I had high hopes you'd be back to tip top shape by the weekend.

Thanks, Sof!

Oh yeah? Eager to see my dazzling performance at the open house or are you looking for a partner?

Edited 2017-05-13 22:45 (UTC)

I GUESS I could use a dazzling partner.

So could I. Dancing's always more fun with a partner.

Let's do this!

Want to meet at the studio after we see off those crazy OEs so we can get started?

Let's! That is, if you think you can keep up :P

I'm down with that. Make sure you bring me some good music.

Why does everyone think I'm out of shape now? It's been a week. I can definitely keep up!

All of my music is good music.

See you there!

I don't think you're out of shape. Your leg could be stiff or something, though.

Honestly, I'm just fucking with you.

Are you SURE there's nothing questionable? I feel like there's something questionable.

See ya then!
