Veronika was still giggling when the horrific little Zombie in the tacky leopard print swimsuit, keeping up her little act easily though inside she was twisting in disgust that this vermin would so much as consider speaking to her or anyone in her inner circle. Did you cut up a leopard just as you do yourself to get such a tacky bikini? "Of course darling, please go and join. I think I will sit this one out. I can judge you then," she said with a giggle and swam over to the ledge, pushing herself out of the water and shaking her perfectly styled hair back and wringing it of excess water.
Sitting on the ledge of the Olympic size pool and crossing her legs, Veronika gave the group a dazzling smile. She combed her hair out of her face, surveying the participants. I am sure Heather will win this race. Water is after all her forte and I would never have an untalented whelp for a best friend. I am sure Tia will be good competition. The zombie better not bleed in the water.
Veronika clapped her hands for attention. "Alright everyone get in position, and when I count to three and say 'go', swim to the other end and back. Ready then yes?" she asked as they trio got into position. "On your mark then. One... two.... three...GO!" she shouted and folded her hands on her lap as she watched the three race from one end and back.

Having already gotten herself out of the pool when the mention of a race was brought up, and to simply try and not choke on the pool water; Torri went and sat by the side. Clutching a large towel around her small body she looked eagerly at the competing students, her idolisation of them being very different for each, yet each one idolised. With a small shy smile the tiny Acolyte looked over at the very gogeous Allure. She really wanted to look like her one day, that would make her very happy.
In truth, Torri felt alot happier now within the school, she didn't think too much on what had gone on in her past and tried not to let it show too much that she resented the holidays. She didn't enjoy celebrating days too much, specisl ocassions when people csme back from visits or trips yes, but not fo some day someone decided was special.

Strolling the grounds as he surveyed the activities Wolverine noted the two girls taking time out to sit and do nothing. Walking up to the pool from behind the two of them he cleared his throat grufly. *AHEM* "Ladies!?!" he said in a threatening and curious way. "Planning on doing some swimming or did you just want to work on your tan?"
He looked at the three girls swimming their hearts out in the water on their return lap of the race and then back to Shimmer and Allure. "You two should know better-GET IN THE WATER..." It was just loud, he put no intent behind his words. He knew how fragile young Shimmer was and the Kudinov girl was so familiar to him he just couldn't bring himself to treat her with malice. She reminded him of that woman who...but that was so long ago and his memories were sometimes a blur.
"At least do the back stroke- this is supposed to be a fun class this week, but not a joke. Don't make me pull everyone else from what they're doing to go for a run because of you two little lazy-butts." he winked at them. "I've got eyes on everybody so no slacking. S'cuse me while I go talk to these chuckle heads on the volleyball court." He turned to walk away and looked back to see the end of the race thinking Hmmm, well there's a surprise.. as he saw who won.

Tia shrugged as Veronika made her way towards the edge of the pool, acting referee. Hmm, I would've thought she would race... weird, Tia pushed the thought away, getting in position to start racing. Tia knew Heather would be hard to beat, mainly for two reasons, one she ruled the water, two she was taller than Tia. Am probably gonna hafta try to go really fast, cause her being taller means she can get across the pool faster - I donno bout the New Mutant though... don't care much either. But I dont wanna be beaten by her.
Tia dipped into the pool, warming herself up, before kicking off the edge of the pool at Veronika's signal. Tia chose to go with freestyle, seeing that gave her the best scope of reaching the other end and back the fastest. Ah shit, my eyes are burning, i dont wanna hit my head against the wall! Tia tried to blink the water out of her eyes, before loosing her balance due to a loud voice booming around the room. Oh for flips sake! she steadied herself, not aware of where either of the other two competitors were, as she sped off once again, not paying much attention to Wolverine, seeing he hadn't really directly spoke to them.
Tia reached the other end of the pool, Ahh heather's in front of me... damn she's fast! she shook her head, before kicking off herself, trying to catch up... she wasn't really keeping track of the New Mutant.

Heather began to focus on her breathing. Knowing how important breathing technique is during a race, she concentrated on steadying her inhalation and exhalation. Slow... steady... breaths... The water manipulator looked to Veronika and nodded in agreement with having K'8 join the race. Heather liked K'8 and she seemed to lighten up a lot since dating Sean. They are too cute together, she thought warmly.
Finally she got into position and held her body against the edge of the pool; one hand holding herself above the surface, the other in the water, her feet propped up against the wall. At the count of one, she continued to focus on her breathing. Two, she made sure her feet were up and ready. Three, she bent her knees making her ready to kick off. GO, she was off. Using her developing arms and legs, Heather zoomed ahead using freestyle as her stroke of choice. The surface of the water split as paced herself and brought her head to the left to inhale a fresh batch of oxygen. After several seconds she spotted the opposite wall approaching her very quickly. She prepared herself and dove down beneath the water, making a flip and kicked off from the opposite wall. She was now halfway through the race and the rest of the girls were behind her. Breath in, breath out, was all she thought about. She wanted to perfect her technique, and even though she was a very good swimmer at this point, she was still not great. The race wasn't about winning, it was just practice for Heather. She wasn't really competitive unless it dealt with Gavin and who had the best prank.
Finally, her last strokes led her to the finish line and original starting point. Slightly out of breath, Heather controlled her breathing and looked back to see where the other girls stood. "Ah that felt good," she said warmly. She always enjoyed having her daily swims. Not only was it her form of exercise, but it was always just fun. "Come on guys you can do it!" she yelled encouragingly to her fellow competitors. She was first place as usual, therefore who would be second?

Only about a half of a body length behind Aqua, D'mnchyld pulled hard through the water. It was on the flip turn that Heather really pulled ahead, but K'8 kept pulling and kicking hard. Her new high nutrient high protein diet had made a huge difference in her energy level as well as her personality. The old saying was true 'you are what you eat' and she wasn't a junk food junkie anymore.
By the time Aqua finished and looked back to yell her encouragements D'mnchyld had kick out to a considerable lead on Tempest and she didn't give up an ounce of her effort even after she knew she hadn't won. She tagged up on the wall and popped her head up gasping for a full breath and grinning. 'Wheeew! That was a good swim." she said exuberantly and turned to clap for Tia as she tread water with her legs.
Right at that moment the whole pool shook like it was a giant fishbowl on a wobbly table. Water slushed up and out of the pool and splashed them all causing a general feeling of being in the ocean for a second. "Hey Aqua what was THAT!?!" the younger New Mutant said looking to her team mate. "You didn't do that did you?"

On the inside, Veronika was scowling at the short hairy man, who was in all actuality only a little taller than her when she had her heeled boots on. Enjoy ordering me while you can, you hairy half ape. You'll get yours one day as well, and I will simply enjoy the well deserved torment. People like you and that harlot aren't worthy to be in my presence. "Of course Mr. Logan, please excuse me," she said and moved to get back in the water when the ground shaking. Veronika slipped and fell into the water out of surprise.
She popped her head back up as the ground stopped shaking and looked around in confusion. Oh what now? There are no Earthquakes in New York. That Zombie is an imbecile, Heather does not have the power to make the ground all over shake. That Hellion who is under the spell of that harlot in a rather morbid sense is the one who has the ability. I wonder what now. Veronika swam over to the ledge and looked out at the football game to see the Hellion on the ground and some colorful pebbles being flung out of a large hole in the ground and the sound of the handsome idiot Corsair screaming.
"Oh my. No I think that it must be something to do with that," Veronika said pointing to the scene and looking on with wide eyes. Please let the harlot be buried under there. She looked over to the lake area and saw the girl she called a rival and held an unbridled hate for still riding the horse. And my hopes are dashed again. No matter one day soon she will get what is due to her and I will be rid of her.

"YIPE!" Tiny as she was, Torri was still very capable of making loud squeals of fright when the occasioned depicted so. She hadn't even heard Wolverine come up behind her. No-one ever heard him, and that to her made him all the more frightening. With as much spring as a trampoline she was off the bench and standing with her back to the pool by it's edge. Towel still sitting where she had been not seconds before, and hands balled together by her neck in shock. She flinched a little at his yelling but seemed to have gotten a little used to it from her pe lessons. She was about to nod and turn around to jump in when she felt the ground tremble under her feet.
From either shock or unbalanced footing, she toppled backwards with another tiny shriek and fell into the pool. Not having taken a breath she spluttered as she popped her head back up and moved her hair from in front of her face. "What is that! It looks like Skittles ... or Smarties! Did Calorie get hungry again?" She said in a curious voice at Allure, she was worried that Wolverine would get angry again at him and make people run laps anyway. She had hurt her ankle last time, and didn't want o do that again.

Dammit she splashed my face! Tia shut her eyes, her hands searching for the surface as she finished last, rubbing her eyes as she leaned against the edge. She would've been able to make it if the other New Mutant didn't speed up last moment. Good Swim my foot, she sighed as she looked over at the Acolyte and Veronika, who'd gotten back in the water due to Wolverine. Her eyes flickered over to the New Mutant, before she spoke; "The water from the pool can't get the whole surface to shake!" she snapped, though her words were hardly a mumble.
Tia rolled her eyes, before switching her gaze over to the football game to spot rather colourful round things, Is that guy always hungry? Urgh. Tia still held a grudge against Calorie for commenting on her boobs - dammit, what was his effink problem!? She tried to hide the frown that wanted to make an appearance on her face, before pushing her legs against the wall, launching into an underwater breast stroke, heading towards the other end of the pool. They can sort out their mess themselves, she blinked, shrugging the thought away from her mind as she headed closer towards her destination.

Heather cheered happily for K'8. To be honest she didn't believe her fellow teammate to be second. But then again it was a free for all when it came to everyone in the race. "Great job K'8," she said warmly. "You were awesome." She was just about to continued encouraging Tia when the entire ground began to shake and the chlorinated water began to splash everywhere. Heather looked to K'8 worried, knowing that earthquakes didn't occur in New York and she definitely didn't cause that.
Shaking her head slowly and worried that something bad was going to happen, the water manipulator looked around to see where the commotion was coming from. It was then realized that the quake came from the football game and Heather didn't bother to find out why. She was afraid of the Hellions, mostly because they were all assholes with the exception of Stoney and Decibal. The rest were just too rude and obnoxious, especially Rumble. Heather was scared shitless of the guy and in no way wanted to get on his bad side. Her way of doing that was just stay out of his way.
Focusing back on her activity, Heather smiled when Tia arrived. "Good job Tia," she said. However knowing Tia, she was probably bummed about being last. Heather knew that she would and heck she was supposed to be a swim major.

Veronika smirked inwardly at the sight of people leaving the gym class, feeling a slight bit of pity for the Hellion. It delightfully tickled her that the large Hellion made that harlot's life harder. Of course it might make him a little higher in my books if he was not so attracted to that harlot, but of course it is a sordid and morbid attraction. I suppose I can forgive that as long as it results in her demise or at the very least break her. Oh that will simply be delightful to watch. She pulled herself out of the pool and wrung her hair out, shaking it out and throwing her hair back.
"Well, I suppose that was refreshing. Let's go Heather, I believe you have first shower this time," Veronika said to her best friend and toweled off before wrapping the towel around her waist like a sarong. She wanted to show off how well she filled out her bikini top and her hourglass form that was quite well sculpted for someone her age. Veronika combed her hair back and slipped her feet into her adorable platform BEBE flip flops, winking at Tia. "I will see you later yes darling?" she said in an adorable voice as she gathered up her sweat suit and jogging shoes.
When Heather gathered up all her stuff, the two of them walked back to the mansion. The two spoke of the what occurred on the field, Veronika expressing her concern for the Hellion and Haven's barbaric actions. The two girls walked to their room, where the conversation switched to something more amusing; such as Gavin's constant teasing and torment of Heather.

Tia resurfaced as she heard Veronika's voice get out of the pool. She nodded at the red head figure as she walked out, Heather accompanying her, as she made their way to god knows where. Lets got out of here too, don't really wanna stay here with these two. Tia shook her head, before getting out of the pool herself, grabbing her towel and throwing it over her shoudlers. She hugged the towel shivering slightly. Tia grabbed her combat trousers, tank top and hooded jacket off the floor, putting on her trainers, heading out herself. Oh my god! It's cold! Urgh. she blew out into the air, picking up pace as she walked towrads the mansion, aiming to hit the shower.

Seeing as how the three girls had left the pool, meaning it was only D'mnchyld and her in the water, Torri left herself bob in the water for a little longer, enjoying the emptiness of the pool. Sometimes she would just swim on her own, grow more confident that as a self taught swimmer she would be better than some people. It had proved a point with Jenny months beore when she had tried to show her young friend how easy it was after awhile, but it had brought back memories for her. She was alot older than her when she was brave enough to take on the pool and Torri didn't want to force her.
"I wonder if this means I have to get out." She said quietly, looking over at the New Mutant for some sort of confirmation of her thoughts. She didn't want to leave, but if Wolverine said go she would be out before he had time to finish his sentence. That man frightened her. He was always yelling at someone and when he looked angry she got really scared. He didn't look like the kind of person that ever got a hug off his friends. Poor him, hugs made people feel better. Even she knew that. "Or do we get to stay, I don't want to get out yet. It'll be cold out there again and I'm only just getting warm now." Her question turned into a sort of whine before she ducked her head under the surface again. Shimmer enjoyed getting her hair wet, it was funny how it made her head heavy when she came up again.

"Well, I'm stayin' cause I don't want to get out yet. You can stay with me if you want." K'8 smiled at Torri who in her latest incarnation was simply adorable. "You're right too, it'll be cold. It's really colder out of the water than in cause it's heated. It feels almost like bathwater."
D'mnchyld ducked underwater and swam over to pop up in front of Shimmer and said "Hey I have a great Idea!! Oh wow, if you can do this it would be awesome." Her eyes were excited as she started to explain.
"Now I'm not forcin you, so if you don't wanna do it that's cool. But I was thinking if you can shapeshift and all well you have some great advantages. Like try this- webbed hands and feet - like a duck!" She held her hand up fingers spread and with her other hand traced how the flaps of skin would go in between the fingers. "Bet you'd kick Aqua's ass if you had webbed hands and feet. Then you can just pull your hands and feet back to normal when you get out. Well? What'cha think?"

"Yay! Good, I’m going to stay here. I like being warm, like your bed in the morning when you really don't wanna get up but you have to 'cause you got to go to class." Nodding in confirmation of her own statement Torri giggled quietly and hugged her shoulders lightly so as to prove to herself how warm it really was in the water. She liked D'mnchyld, her power was a little scary, making demon people was always going to be scary. Even though she liked the New Mutant; having her duck under water and resurface in front of her made her shriek a little in shock.
The idea explained to the young Acolyte confused Torri a little, webbed hands and feet to beat Aqua? Why would she want to beat Aqua? She was pretty and funny and really sweet. "Why would i want to beat Aqua? Was she mean to you? She's always really nice, if you talk to her I’m sure she'd be really nice again." With a nod and a small smile Torri thought for a second and looked down with a 'thinking face' at her hand that she pulled out of the water with spread fingers.
"Won't I look silly like a duck? And what happens if I get it wrong and i just get a beak! That would be embarrassing, or if i can't get my hands or feet back to normal. Colossus took ages to get be to calm down enough after my last attempt. I was a little scared but ... You really want me to try?" She looked up at the older girl with a blank face, still deciding if it was a good idea. Shimmer was young and naive in how she always took what someone said to heart, if they said it was good for her she would believe it normally. Unless she didn't like them, like that big Rumble boy. He was scary. "Really really?"
