This Is The Primetime (Sequel To "Try Not To Fall For The Blue Haired Douche")

Chapter 5

The two looked up and Shai gave a cry. "Lauren!" 

Thirty feet up the beams on the ceiling crisscrossed making a dizzying maze of support systems. And there was eight year old Lauren running across the beams and flipping from one to the next, completely unconcerned that there wasn't a net beneath her.

Lauren leapt from one bar, doing two flips midair, before coming to rest on the next one. She squealed in delight and did a back handspring.

"Did you see that guys?!?" she squealed. Matt nodded.

"I'm filming it!" Vic shouted. Lauren laughed in delight. Shai urged her baby sister to get down. 

Eventually, Victor went towards the door to call her parents to get their asses over here and knock some sense into her.

"What are you doing?" Lauren called as she came down the wall. Shai and Victor were white faced and frantic.

"Are you ok?" Shai demanded to know. "What were you doing?"

Lauren frowned at the two. She began jumping from on foot to the next eagerly. "I'm fine." She whined. " What's wrong? Did you need me for something?" 

Victor realized she wanted to get back up there.

"We were trying to keep you from being hurt!" Shai exclaimed. "What were you doing?" 

"I was just playing." Lauren said with a shrug. "Matt and Vic were watching me!"

"Playing? You're going to get yourself killed!" Victor cried.

Lauren laughed. "Nu-uh. I know these rafters a lot. I'd be fine." she said.

"Listen, kid. You may watch Batman and Robin jump from building to building on TV and in your comics, but you are not aloud to do that when nobody's around!" Shai growled. "You could have cracked your head open."

"She wasn't alone. We were here." Matt said.

"Exactly. You were here. You're her brother, you should have stopped her!" Shai scolded him. Matt pouted.

"But she's fine! She never falls, and if she does she only plays on the heighiest rafters so she has time to grab the lower ones." Matt said.

"I wouldn't have cracked my head open." Lauren said. Before they could do anything she was scaling up the wall and was back on the rafters. "See? Watch!"

Shai screamed as Lauren jumped. Faster than a bullet, Lauren latched onto a bar beam and had pulled herself up to safety. "See?" She called. "I'm ok! And if that didn't work I have ropes tied up here to grab!"

Victor gave a weak gasp. "I think my heart just stopped."

"I can't believe you guys are watching her do this without having a heart attack." Shai agreed.

They couldn't bring themselves to look away. They watched the entire time Lauren was playing. Not once did she fall. She didn't even stumble. She just flipped from bar to bar, catapulted across the beams, and ran through the deathtrap like it was nothing. 

But soon Lauren was bored. She climbed down and sat on a little perch and watched them. 

Her parents came in. 

"What's all the commotion?" her dad asked.

"LAUREN WAS FLIPPING THROUGH THE RAFTERS LIKE IT WAS NOTHING, AND MATT WATCHED HER WITHOUT EVEN STOPPING HER!" Shai exclaimed. 

Her parents looked up at her, and Lauren waved back.

"Shai, Lauren was been in trapeze for ages. Her instructors said she was top of her class, and she's so good she could go pro. You guys don't need to worry." her mom said.

Shai sighed. "You could've stopped after me. You could've stopped after me." she mumbled as she left the room.

.oOEnd of VideoOo.

We both laughed when the video ended. 

"Shai was so scared!" I laughed, on the verge of tears from laughing so hard.

"Their faces! Priceless!" Vic laughed. 

We both calmed down, and we realized we should rest while we could.

"We're gonna have to get up early, we should probably sleep." I said. Vic nodded. 

I gave him back his phone, and we made our way back to the bunks. Vic was a little bit taller then me, so I went up on my toes and kissed him.

"Night." I said, crawling into my bunk. 

I faced the wall, but I knew Vic stood there for a minute.

"N-Night." he said after a bit. I smiled.

Okay... soo.... don't kill me. Please... I like living... Oh yeah, and um... I put that video there because that episode of young justice gave me the idea for the whole 'trapeze' thing, because Robin is my favorite character.
