(Well, I just realized something. I'm hungry. But I m also... thirsty... and slee[y.. and the most important thing of all... due to lack of sleep... I'M CRAZY.)

"You are right but it wouldn't be all fair. Your doing it one-handed." He saidas they did push ups. (I'm not controlling your character... Because it's obvious what he's doing. Make your characer.. less predicta- hahahaha. Couldn't say it with a straight face.)

((lol, well, if you're that tired and hungry and thirsty then go eat something, drink something and SLEEP!))

I would say Den just shrugged, but since he's doing pushups, it'd kinda mess him up....

((I think we should just leave it there....you know, wait for others to have a chance to reply...))

(I agree, let the other people et a chance at talking for a bit. Als I'm posting this reply for I need to have the last laughe. Mwahaha huhahuhawuhuhahhahaha

((bye everyone, I'm leaving. GO READ OFF-TOPIC!!!))

(I'm counting that. I must have last laugh. Mostly cuz I'm nsane and twiste and many other things, so I must have last laugh. Hahahe. That's it.)

Brooke cocked an eyebrow at being pared with Ace and sighed. Oh goody!

She walked over to him, simply watching him, waiting for him to react.

(Is anyone here, no, yes, maybe, flinco, dojo, Naruto, Toto?)

((Sorry I've been away so long. The few days are gonna be kinda hectic for me, so I won't be able to post much))

Ace rose from the ab-cruncher and looked at Brooke. "Okay, let's do this," he said, getting into a push-up position and wating fo rher to do the same.

She sighed, mirroring his position, however, she rested her weight on her knees rather than toes,

"Lead on, oh Master." she mumbled, shifting a little.

((That's okay. Life does that!))

((Alex had already told them to start, so they need to get cracking!!! oh, lol, by the way..... I'm on the computer in Virginia!!! hehehe))

Den kept on doing his push-ups, one-handed, under the watchful eye of Alex.

(I'm here if anyone else is. But I'm only going to be on from 11 to almost 12 forum time. Wich is, for me, 2 to 3.)

Xavier is still doing his push ups..

(How long till we can stop this?)

((Lol. TORTURE! Having fun Scotty?:D That's fine Ten... I'm pretty slow lately as well... end of semester is coming up= exams :( Yay!))

Brooke decided to ignore Ace for the most aprt and conscentrated on her push-ups. She knew she'd have barely any upper body strength compared to him, but hurling knives was a precice and muscle-building task in it's own right so she wasn't too shabby.

And Hayley...is still in the Records Room.

((Sorry everyone, I start 80 hour work weeks tomorrow so posts will be extremely random from me))

Ace just kept doing the push-up exercise that had been assigned to him, apparantly oblivious to everything else.

((Yes, Roguie, I'm having TONS of fun!! I've never been to Virginia before and I'm having an absolute blast!))

And that's when Den finished, collapsing and biting back a slight moan as he lay on his stomach.

"Team two has one finished," Alex told them, "The rest of you step up your game!"

((Onya Scotty! :D Have some fun for me girlie.))

Brooke rolled her eyes but stepped up the pace, still ignoring Ace because... well... she could.

Ace matched Brooke's pace without missing a beat. Feel the burn, man, feel the burn! A small grin flickered across Ace's face. The burn felt good, always had.

Xavier noticed Den was done. "You okay?" He asked. He was still doing push ups.

(Is anyone here, and yes. I will ask that whenever I come here and it's been a few hours since someone posted. I'm weird like that.)

(I'm here....for a bit)

Den nodded and slowly got to his feet, "Yeah, I'm fine, just...my arm hurts is all."

Alex raised a concerned eyebrow at Den, before urging the other three to speed up. "Come on, you can do better than that!"

"Brooke, I'm following your pace. Would you prefer it if I sped it up a bit?" Ace asked his partner, hitting push-up number 22.

(I'm starting to get bored with push ups. There are other ways to excersise than pushing yourself up. There are sit-ups, chin-ups, ughhh, there is something else but I can't remember what.)

'Good to know he's okay' Xavier thought.

(That's it? That's it! I control him and he STILL bores me. Great, I'm boring myself. I need a videogame.)

Brooke resisted the urge to roll her eyes at him again... and to look over to see how Den was doing then half-shrugged awkwardly,

"Step it up then, I'll keep up."

(Question: How long do we need to keep this up, the push ups, I mean? Push ups are great and all but come on. There PUSH UPS. They don't satisfy my need to kill bad gys, interrogate bad guys, or beat the crap out of bad guys, okay they do help beat the crap out of them by making you stronger so you can hurt more when punching.)

Xavier started pushing himself faster.

(I'm too bored to do more than that.

Ace immediately doubled the speed of his push-ups.

((Let's just say they got to 30, already...))

((Haha! Funny funny!))

Brooke kept up more easily than she would have thought. All that training in her time away had helped.

((Righto then... how many do they have to do?))

(only thirty. My brother, little brother, could do more than that. GO FASTER, FASSSTTEERRR. But seriously. Only thirty? Xavier better do at 10000000000000000000000000000000000000. And I mean it.)

Xavier felt a few beads of sweat trickle down his face. One started to go into his eye (Don't you hate when that happens.) and he started to blow at it to get it away. But, he remembered he had a free hand. He used it to wipe the sweat away, then switched push up hands.

(I wrote WAY more than usual. I did. What, you don't beleive me! Believe. BELIEVE. BBBEEEELLIIEEVEE.)

Ace finished his 30th push-up but stayed down. "What's next, Alex?"

((wait...was it Xav or Alex who assigned the push-ups?))

((EDIT: Changed Xavier to Alex))

(It was Alex, but thanks for using my character's name. THat'l be one billion dollars. Kidding. But we'll just pretend you said Alex, being you should have. Kay?)

((Edited it))

((CONFUSSION!))

Rolling onto her back then stretching her legs out, Brooke wiped the sweat off her forehead then stretched her legs out, bending in half to touch her toes as she waited for an answer.

"Yeah, Alex. Anything else?" Xavier said. He was lightly sweating but was it from working out or maybe the room was hot, or maybe both, or maybe newither. Maybe. Right?

(I createed a Gallagher character, And I wonder. Do I just have her walk into Gallagher HQ. I mean, they ARE terrorists. That would mean walking in on them isn't nice.)

((I made a GI character too. Just walk in and wait for somebody. Even the most seedy of criminal organizaions have to deal with a certain amount of...buracracy.))

(Actually, she will end up walking in there but I think I'm gonna have her start her in Downtown. I've got plans. Heheheh)

((Yeah, there are other things than just push ups, but Alex just wanted to see what they could do first.))

Den got to his feet and waited for Alex to respond to the others' questions.

Alex's face remained stoic as he told them what they were going to do next. "Alright, now I want to see how good you are as a tag team, or relay team, if you will. Xavier and Brooke are now a team and Ace and Den are now a team. Choose one of your team to do the first challenge and then you will trade off doing each of the others after that. The first challenge is you have to start at one end of the room, run to the other and then run backwards on the way back. This might sound easy to you, but there is a catch; you must be blindfolded, keep your hands at your sides and have earplugs to prevent you from seeing, hearing or feeling anything. Once you have finished that first challenge, your other teammate will start the second challenge, but you have to finish the first before I'll tell you what the second is. The second challenge could be harder, depending on who is chosen to perform it, so choose your first person wisely."

Ace raised an eyebrow, wondering just where Alex came up with these ideas. No matter, just deal with them as they come. He walked over to Den, asking, "Your call, kid. Who goes first?"

(Okay, I'm gonna guess you know my character can't run for his life. Because you picked something, Alex, that he would never be able to do: RUN.)

Xavier los his happy face saying. "Brooke, you mind doing this challenge? I can't really... Run."

(If you don't believe he can run than ask me. I know who he is)

Brooke smiled a little and shrugged, nudging her partner,

"Don't stress. I'm no great athlete either but I'll have a go."

Ace raised an eyebrow, wondering just where Alex came up with these ideas. No matter, just deal with them as they come. He walked over to Den, asking, "Your call, kid. Who goes first?"

Den shrugged his good shoulder. "I was thinking that maybe I should, seeing as I'm injured. That way, if the second challenge is a big physical thing, you would have a better chance of completing it." What he wouldn't admit to Ace, or anyone for that matter, was the fact that he would rather do the second challenge, even despite the fact that he was injured. But he wasn't about to be selfish and possibly ruin it for the both of them.

"Okay, go for it," Ace said, stepping back to give Den a bit more room to move around.

(I'm on, is anyone else. I mean, if there isn't wo am gonna talk to. Myself? People go to the crazy house for that)

Xavier sighed in relief. 'Well, at least I don't have to run.'

She laughed again and shrugged, glancing over at Den. Just great.

((Haha! I am. I am!))

Den nodded to Ace and took a deep breath, winking at Brooke when he noticed that he was competing against her.

Alex handed Ace and Xavier each a blindfold and some earplugs. "Put these on the other group's partner."

Brooke rolled her eyes at Den and boucned on her toes, stretching out her feet while she waited for Ace... again...

((And now I'm waiting on you folks... and I have to get off at 6 forum time...

I'm off now. night))

((Ack! Night Scotty... sorry they're all SLOW!!!!!!))

Ace caught the wink Den gave Brooke, but said nothing. He went over to Brooke and held out the earplugs. "You put these in; I'll take care of the blindfold," he said.

Resisting the urge to roll her eyes again, she did as she was asked, licking her lips. This would certainly be interesting.

'Wow, Ace seems nice. He put on Brookes blindfold for me.' Xavier thought.

(ANYONE ON. AT ALL.)

(I... Saw... Chronicles of Narnia... 2... Prince Caspian.... Today.... Good movie!)

((Twisted, put the plugs and blindfold on the OTHER team's competeing member.))

(ohhhhhh, thanks.)

Xavier walked over to DEn and said. "I'll take care of the blindfold if you can take of the eaplugs." I guess he's following Ace's lead.
