Jen grinned.
"So we were thinking, you know how tomorrow we're supposed to go to the gym to learn self defense from the Serbia pack males?"
"Yeah," Jen said, already interested in a possible scheme – oh, how she loved schemes.
"There will be another group of females there as well, so I figure they'll probably introduce our packs. I – well, we," Crina said, looking at Marianna, who just snorted at her, "were thinking how funny it would be if when they introduce our pack we did some sort of cheer or dance or something. Like what you Americans do for your sports teams."
"You're wanting to stick it to the man. I'm totally digging it."
"Sticking what to what man?"
"It's just a saying, when you want to rebel against authority."
Marianna nodded.
"You realize Vasile will be upset about this, right?" Jen asked.
Crina gave a very Jen-like smile. "Never stopped us before."
"Nice." Jen smirked.
"For the record I'm usually the innocent bystander," Marianna added, but winked at Jen afterward.
"Uh huh, sure you are. Okay, so let's do this." Jen paused. "Um, where are we going to do this exactly?"
"The gym. It was empty when Marianna and I checked on our way here," Crina told her.
"Lead the way, Thelma."
"Who's Thelma?"
Jen shook her head. "I can see a major movie night is in order."
The girls made it to the gym without encountering anyone, for which they were grateful.
"So Jen, were you a cheerleader in school?" Marianna asked.
"No, I was usually one of the ones making fun of the cheerleaders. But I'm really good at rhyming and songs, so I'll come up with the cheer. Crina, I saw your moves on the dance floor. You and Marianna put together some moves, okay?"
They nodded and got to work.
An hour later, Jen had composed a complete cheer and Crina was perfecting the dance moves to go along with it.
"Alright, let's do it from the top," Crina told them.
They each got in their designated spots and on Jen's count, they started.
"Shimmy, shimmy, shake, shake,
We know you want some, of this cake.
Shimmy, shimmy, bye, bye,
Still others want, some of the pie.
Careful boys don't get too near,
It's not our Alphas you should fear.
