She paid keen attention to the instructions given to them. They would be put into practice shortly, after all. The girl then directed her attention to the hoops that had sprouted up. Lovely! An activity would give her more practice.

"Which would you like to try first, Haddie? I think we should leave the last set after some more practice.'' Rachel was simply offering what she thought was logical. Since this was her friend's first time on a broom, she might want to get a little more practice. Knowing Haddie, however, Rachel reasoned that she would want to go for the more challenging hoops first.

Haddie nodded without hesitation. There were very few times Haddie got to surprise Rachel, and this would be one of them. "Let's start on the easy course." Just like when she learned to snowboard in Big Bear. They started her on the kiddie slope, which she had mastered in no time and was rocketing down the hill. But it helped. Learning to control the board on a nothing slope. And that's what Haddie planned to do here. "Until I get a feel for it."

Haddie rubbed the broom's handle lovingly and mounted it. "Ready for this, Charlie?" She grinned. The broom's excitement hung around her like a thick cloud, mixing with her own excitement. Gently she pulled up on the handle, but they still shot into the air in an instant. Not that it mattered this time, since there were no instructions to stay only a few feet from the ground. Being high in the air was exhilarating. She spent a moment, taking it in, just hovering up there for a moment. Then she angled the handle to the left, and sped off a bit more sharply than she had intended.

"Whoa, boy. Easy." Haddie pulled up on the handle, but instead of stopping, they just raced higher into the air. She was high over the pitch by the time she managed to get them to stop. It was the leaning back and sit up that did it. Apparently she hadn't leaned back enough or something. "I know, I know," she patted the handle. "You've probably been in that shed way too long." That alone made Haddie feel for her broom. He was like her. They didn't do well cooped up. They both needed to be out, and active, and pushing themselves to the limit. "We'll get to the fun stuff, just let me get a feel for you first, huh?"
