Who: Jubilee and Laura Kinney
What: Jubes meets the girl from her dreams. Mutual showing off ensues.
When: Yesterday
Where: Close to Jubes's gym
Rating: PGish
Status: Complete!
Jubilee was taking a walk. Her head had finally cleared, and she was feeling limber and energetic. Enough to actually walk to the gym instead of drive. It would be a good warm up!
Laura was pondering whether or not to contact this Dr. Caroline G. about an internship. What sort of scientist didn't give out their entire surname? It was...kind of mysterious.
Jubilee bounced on her heels, then spun into a cartwheel and a flip, bouncing off a mailbox and landing on the steps of a store! "BOOYA! THE HOTNESS ROCKS!"
Laura blinked as she saw a rather impressive displasy of acrobatic skill. She wondered what the young woman did. Gymnast? Fellow traceuse? Interesting.
Strutting, Jubilee looked around, then lowered her arms, "oh come on, no applause? You all suck!"
Laura smirked. And then slow clapped.
"Thank YOU!" Jubilee bowed, then straightened and flashed her a vivid grin, "Someone who appreciates Hotness!" She nearly faltered in her step. No way. She was seeing things.
Laura raised an eyebrow. "Are you a gymnast?"
"Y..yeah." Jubilee regained her step and her grin, staring at Laura, "I'm totes a gymnast. I'm going to London! I'm bringing home a gold!"
"That was very impressive; I can see how you would make the olympic team. I'm a traceuse--a parkour practitioner." Laura smiled.
"Parkour?" Jubilee's throat dried out, then she nodded, "Sweet. Wanna show me some moves?"
Laura glanced around, sizing up her surroundings. She gestured for the other woman to follow her and, when she found a spot with more variety of things to use--and fewer pedestrians--she proceeded to show off a little.
Jubilee cheered her on - and saw a few moves she might be able to put into her act. She ran along outside the 'course' as Laura showed off, "Are you Spider-man? You're Spider-man, aren't you. I'm Batman." She held out her hand, grinning.
Laura grinned. "Laura will do just fine, 'Batman'."
Oh..ohgod. She had to txt Kitty. She had to CALL Kitty. She had to flail around like a little girl and then go stake herself so she didn't start nomming on the girl's neck. Miraculously, she did none of these things, instead laughing and replying, "Call me Jubilee. It's my sekrit identity."
"Nice to meet you, Jubilee."
Don't spaz out. Don'tspazout. Don't spaz out. And stop staring at her neck. Jubilee mentally slapped herself, "Want to come watch me practice?"
Laura thought for a moment. "Okay."
"Lady of few words. Awesome. I can dig." She grabbed Laura's hand and started to pull her towards the gym!
This is Jubilee's brain right now. asfsafsgsgag111!!gagagaglalala!.
She was actually self-conscious about putting on a leotard and wearing it in front of the girl. She flailed and txt'd Kitty while in the locker room, then came out and posed. In pink and yellow, of course, "Not US team issue, but I haven't gotten mine yet!"
"It suits your personality, I believe." Bright. Bubbly. Probably obnoxious in some people's books. Laura didn't mind, though.
Jubilee started turning the color of the pink part of her suit before she nodded and ran to the bars, jumping up and beginning her routine. She was both nervous - and motivated.
Laura took a seat and watched.
The uneven bars were Jubilee's speciality. She was pretty decent on the balance beams and the vault, but she was born for the uneven bars. Her program was ambitious, dangerous, and meshed grace with raw speed and agility.
Jubilee stuck her landing, ending with dual peace signs!
Laura applauded!
Sweeeeet! Jubilee bowed, then grabbed a towel and jogged over, "It's not perfect yet! But it's getting there." She flashed the other woman a big grin. She'd been showing off. But she was The Hotness, and The Hotness liked to show off, "You did this..thing." She demonstrated with her hands, "How did you not like, break your legs?"
"Practice. And being very in touch with knowing the location of my body and knowing how to adjust my center of gravity."
"So a lot like what I do, just with less controlled conditions?" Jubilee plopped down next to her and rubbed at her shins, "Do they have contests for that sorta thing?"
"Not really. It's more a contest with yourself." Laura smiled.
"See how far you can get before you break your neck?" Jubilee replied, grinning. She strained with her ears, but lacked the super focused hearing to listen to Laura's heartbeat. She found herself a little disappointed, "You've been in town long?"
Laura grinned. "I've been here a while, but it's a big place."
She wondered if Laura knew a gruff short guy or a cajun man with amazing abs, but decided not to sound too weird by asking, "I get around a lot, but I don't get everywhere." Her phone buzzed and she glanced at it and flushed slightly. Aheh. She jumped to her feet and posed, "For I am The Hotness! That's even better than The Batman!"
"I like you. You're funny. And a very good gymnast."
"I'm extra bendy," Jubilee announced, bending backwards and grabbing her ankles, before crab-walking like that towards Laura.
She should have asked Kitty how to flirt with a girl.
Laura smiled.
Jubilee straightened, "I need to get to practicing. If you want to hang around we can get lunch after? I know this TOTES awesome place with awesome dessert!"
"Lunch would be nice. Thank you for inviting me."
That rewarded Laura with Hugest Smile. Jubilee backflipped, and went to work on her floor program. It was her weakest link and the one she needed the most practice on.
