From "The Song My Father Sang"

"Face it," Cecelia replied, sipping her own shake, "We don't really have the training. Even with what the suits give us, we still are barely managing. Except for maybe Teresa."

"It's not exactly a walk in the clouds, even for me," Teresa replied. "Besides, that's why we're all learning martial arts, Cece."

"Hey, you're Ms. Perfect Athlete. Why should you have any problems?" Cecelia asked.

Lucas caught the bitter tone in her voice, and moved to stop the impending argument.

Teresa beat him to it. "I'm not perfect, Cece. You should know me better than that."

"You try to be," Cecelia insisted.

"Cece," Lucas said, "It's Teresa's choice to do what she does. If she's got an interest in sports, than that's her right."

Cecelia looked unmollified, but dropped the conversation, and just frowned at Teresa. At that point, one of their classmates stopped at their table. "Heyay, Terri, aren't you supposed to be at archery practice?"

Teresa withdrew her organizer from her bag, activated it, and thumbed through it. Lucas saw her eyes widen. "Yeah, thanks Jed. All, I need to go."

"You're welcome," Jed said, and hurried off.

"One of those days when you wish you could?" Forrest inquired, a mischevious smile on his face.

Teresa paused for a moment, looking thoughtful. "Nah. Tempting, but not worth the price."

She walked away at a fast pace. The rest of the team watched her go, and then Forrest spoke. "She's really not trying to beat all of us out. She really is just interested in athletics."

Cecelia shrugged. "I know. It's just that I feel so clumsy next to her. She may not be trying for that, but sometimes it seems like it."
