   Story: Thanks   
      
          Sometimes it's amazing how one little thing can lead to another.   
     I was   
   playing three handed pinnacle with some friends of mine one night and the   
   subject turned to gymnastics.  That's not so surprising since I was a   
   gymnastics coach, I had a club in Goldmile about 20 miles away.   
      
       Anyway I had bid way over my head and was trying to salvage every point   
   I could, and Sheryl was saying how much her daughter Jennifer would like to   
   take gymnastics.  I lead a king of hearts cringing because I was pretty   
   sure that Rick had the ace, which he did, and told them that I would love   
   to have Jennifer in one of my classes.  Then Sheryl trumped Rick's ace,   
   which meant that hearts were shot and I had no chance to make my bid.  I   
   checked the score sheet and saw that Rick was way ahead so I decided as   
   long as I was going down that I'd try to throw my points to Sheryl.   
      
       By the time the game was over, and Sheryl was the big winner and I was   
   the big loser, We'd worked out a plan where Rick would drive Jennifer to   
   class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and then I'd drop her off on my way home,   
   since I was putting her in my last class of the night and lived just a mile   
   or two from Rick and Sheryl.   
      
       Jennifer was a cute well-built eleven year old who had just started   
   middle school.  I had coached her older sister on the high school team a   
   couple of years ago so I knew Jennifer and knew she had all the basics.   
   Her sister had a knock-out body and looking at Jennifer, even at eleven, I   
   knew she was going to be even better.  She also had a birthday coming up in   
   about a month, so this could be like an early birthday present.   
      
       The game was on Saturday night, then on Sunday, Jennifer called me and   
   wanted to know if it would be all right for her best friend Angie to come   
   too.  I said no problem and went back to my paperwork.  Monday night when I   
   got home from the gym and listened to my messages, I found out that I'd had   
   another call from Jennifer.  I called her back and she picked up on the   
   first ring, she'd been waiting for me because her friend Leah really wanted   
   to come too.  I laughed at her, told her it was all right and told her to   
   go to bed.   
      
       Tuesday was a mad house.  I had pre-school classes to teach in the   
   morning and none of them would settle down, they were running all over the   
   gym and I spent most of their forty-five minute class trying to keep them   
   corralled The team was even worse, nobody seemed to have any sense of   
   balance, they were falling off the beam left and right.  I was glad to get   
   to my last class, the intermediates, I was ready to go home.   
      
       Jennifer was standing in the corner with her dad and three other girls.   
   I was beginning to wonder if I needed to set aside a class just for   
   Jennifer and her friends.  I walked over and Rick introduced me to Angie,   
   Leah and Kathy, who just had to come after she found out about Jennifer,   
   Angie and Leah.   
      
       Jennifer, Kathy and Leah were all about average height for sixth graders   
   and Angie was shorter by about four inches, though she was the best   
   developed of the group.  Jennifer and Leah had both developed nicely but   
   Kathy had almost no shape at all.  Jennifer and Leah had brown hair, Kathy   
   was a blonde, and Angie's hair was as black as midnight.  Angie's hair was   
   very short but Jennifer and Leah wore theirs in ponytails that hung down to   
   their shoulders.  Kathy's hair hung down to the middle of her back and she   
   was wearing it loose.  All four girls were wearing black bike shorts, and   
   white t-shirts.  Jennifer's had Tweety, Leah had Sylvester, Kathy was   
   wearing Scooby-Doo, and Angie had the Powder Puff Girls.   
      
       I also wondered if I should prepare for more boys joining the classes   
   because these 4 were defiantly cute and boys seem to flock to wherever   
   there are groups of cute girls.  All of the girls fit right into the class   
   even though they'd never had gymnastics before.  The whole class was really   
   up today and everything went so smoothly that I was almost sorry for it to   
   end.  After the last kid got picked up, I shut off the lights and locked   
   the place up and the four girls all piled into the back seat of my car.   
   The girls were all talking about how much fun they had, how nice the other   
   girls in the class all seemed, and how cute Peter was.  Peter was the only   
   boy in the class.  He was tall and skinny, but cute.  And according to   
   Angie's whispers had a great butt.  I dropped off Kathy first, then Angie   
   and then Jennifer.  Leah was last because she lived closest to me.  As I   
   dropped off each girl, they leaned in my open window and gave me hug, a   
   kiss on the cheek and yelled thanks as they ran to their house.  By   
   Thursday I was looking forward to Jennifer and her friends being back in   
   class.  They were a fun group.  I was also wondering if the group had   
   grown, but it turned out to be the same four.  Jennifer, Leah, and Kathy   
   were wearing the same bike short/t-shirt combinations but Angie had gotten   
   herself a powder blue leotard that was just a little too big for her.   
   Kathy was still wearing her hair loose even though I had suggested she put   
   it in a ponytail for class, but amazingly it never got in the way.  She had   
   very well behaved hair.  After class, everyone got picked up on time, which   
   was amazing cause usually there are at a couple of late parents and I piled   
   the kids in the car and we took off.  The girls were giggling and   
   whispering and I heard Peter's name a couple of times and mine.  About half   
   way home there was a turnout that goes to an old dilapidated barn and   
   Jennifer asked me to pull over there but wouldn't tell me why.  I figured   
   one of the girls had to go to the bathroom and was embarrassed to tell me,   
   but when I stopped, no one got out of the car.  It was completely black in   
   the shadow of that old barn and Jennifer told me to sit absolutely still   
   until she told me to move.  I heard somebody climbing into the front seat   
   and then a pair of hands turned my head and someone kissed me on the mouth,   
   holding the kiss for several seconds.  Then she turned my face forward   
   again and I heard the sounds of somebody climbing back into the back seat.   
   "That was from all of us." Jennifer said and then she told me I could go   
   now.  I dropped the girls off in the same order, Kathy, Angie, Jennifer and   
   Leah, and each one leaned in and gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek.  I   
   kept wondering which one had kissed me in the car, whoever it was had been   
   a pretty good kisser for an eleven year old.  But I didn't have a clue.   
   The next week, after class Jennifer had me stop at the same place and the   
   same thing happened.  One of the girls climbed into the front seat and   
   kissed me and then climbed back again and Jennifer would tell that was from
