Sharah’s first words were, “Confused and awkward.” She wasn’t quite sure what Ashlyn meant, but she tried. “At the top of the jump was kind of like zero G training. And then my stomach hit my throat and I got light headed and then I was on the ground, HARD.”

Ashlyn nodded, “You’re not used to really jumping, I get it, it’s not a skill that advanced bipeds really use a lot of. We’ll have to work out the kinks and help your body remember how to jump.” The cadet moved over to a storage space in the gym and retrieved a trampoline that she then moved to the center of the room. “For the next twenty minutes or so, I’m going to have you jump in place on this thing. It’ll help make it a little easier while you adapt to the up and down motion of jumping. I’m going to make use of the stuff I set up so if you want a challenge, keep jumping while facing me which means you’ll have to add a twist to your jumps.” Ashlyn moves to one of the mats in a random spot. “I’ll let you tell me when to start.”

Sharah felt rather silly jumping on the trampoline. But she got up there and started jumping. “Go ahead. I’ll follow.” Sharah was twisting around the trampoline just fine following Ashlyn around the room. As Ashlyn speed up she did too, but she tripped over her feet, stumbled got back up and kept going. This continued for 10 minutes, Sharah getting her feet under, but suddenly she was on the floor, with a splitting headache not sure how she got there. ‘Something is wrong with me, really wrong.’ and then the thought was gone. She got up and kept going. She waved to Ashlyn, “Apparently I can’t keep track of my feet.” She started jumping again turning as Ashlyn made her way across the room.

For those ten minutes, Ashlyn was in motion. Between, over, and around boxes, box to mat, mat to box, she never stopped moving with flips, twists, and a slew of other aerial gymnastics tossed in. The expression on her face was clear and positive enjoyment like she couldn’t have ever gotten enough of what she was doing. On top of that, her feet never touched the gym floor. She stopped abruptly when Sharah fell and watched her carefully as she stood back up to start jumping again. “Oh no, I think you’re done for today. What happened to you? The way you feel off the trampoline, it’s like you passed out mid-jump. That’s not good.” Ashlyn walked over to the wall and picked up a pair of water bottles, bringing one back to Sharah while drinking the other. “I’m going to clean up here, then I’m taking you to medical.”

Sharah shook her head and laughed, “I think I was enjoying it too much. Instead of paying attention to my twists I just enjoyed it and tangled my feet. I’m on my way to medical next anyway. My shift is starting. I’ll get someone to check me out just in case. Okay? That way you can get on with your day.” Sharah really didn’t want to talk about how the dams weren’t working the way they should, something was wrong with her and she was going to ruin everything for herself. She was lost and had no idea what to do. “I’m gonna go grab a sonic shower and get in uniform.” She took a sip of water and headed off to the locker room.

Trenton, really out of concern for her friend, followed her into the locker room. “Honestly? You’re not lying just to make me feel better right? I don’t need to escort you to medical to make sure you get checked out do I? Because I’d be more than happy to, really. Could even use the opportunity to make a joke with Tandra…er…Lieutenant Mika. You know she’s really cute when she blushes. I’m getting off-topic, you’re really going to get checked out right?”

  Sharah nodded, “I’m sure. I promise to get checked out. In fact I’ve got medical tricorder right here if you want me to do it myself. I don’t joke about that. I’ll have the doc on duty do it before I start my shift. I promise.” Sharah took another sip of water. “Same time tomorrow?”

Ashlyn smiles and nods, “And every day after except every seventh day. Seventh-day is a rest day, so our bodies can rest and rebuild.” Turns to leave, pauses to consider a teasing remark, then thinks better of it and cleans up the mats and cubes so the next person to use the gym has a clean gym to use.

Sharah’s eyes got wide, “I heard that Ashlyn.” She blushes really red, telling Astlyn that Sharah probably had someone in mind. “I’m gonna be late.” Sharah headed off to sickbay. As promised she had the doctor check her for any bumps and bruises from her fall and even a concussion, but everything was fine.
