The Pink Panther
By
"Goooooooo, Panthers!"
"That's fine, Girls. That's all for today. Hit the showers." ***
"Wow! Coach must be really pissed at Keri!"
"You said it! She let us go two minutes early. Coach hasn't done that since Keri's Mom was the Captain of the national championship squad in '68!"
"Keri really stepped in it this time." ***
"Come in and sit down, Miss Rogers."
"I'm sorry, Coach."
"Oh, I'm quite certain you are. But I've had it with your pranks, your arriving late, and your total disrespect for the Team. Cheerleading isn't about the individual."
"I know that, Coach. I really am sorry."
"Sorry is just a word, Keri. I'm sorry, too. I'm sorry that I failed to help you live up to your extraordinary potential. When I announced my retirement at the end of the season, I expected to go out after thirty-six years in a blaze of glory. After three straight Regional Championships, I really thought that this squad under your senior leadership could be even better than your Mother's National Champions. But you don't seem interested in the Team."
"But I am, Coach, really!"
"Nonsense, Keri. You just don't have the will of a champion like your Mother."
"I do too!"
"Really? Then you know what you have to do!" ***
"Don't get changed, Annie. It's a closed practice. Keri's skirt is hanging on Coach's door!" ***
"Do you know what make's a champion? It's dedication to the art! I have doubts about Keri Rogers' dedication. She says I'm wrong. To prove it, she is going to perform a solo routine, fondly known as the 'Pink Panther'. I will assist her with the aid of this walnut paddle that was given to me by Coach McElroy when she retired in 1956. You will each observe that it is inscribed twice with painted Greek letters 'Pi', and is signed by each dedicated Cheerleader who has successfully performed the entire 'Pink Panther'. You may proceed, Keri."
"Give me a 'P'!"
"Perseverance!"
CRACK!
"Give me an 'A'!"
"Aesthetics!
CRACK!
"Give me an 'N'!"
"Naturalism!"
CRACK!
"Give me a 'T'!"
"Teamwork!"
CRACK!
"O-ohh!"
"Keep your left wrist straight, Keri."
"G-give me an 'H'!"
"Handicraft!"
CRACK!
"Owwww! Give me an 'E'."
"A bit louder, Keri."
"Give me an 'E'!"
"Much better, Keri. Electricity!"
CRACK!
"OWOWOW! G-Give...give...."
"Do you wish to stop?"
"Nooo! Give me an 'R'!"
"Point the lead toe. Better. Realization!"
CRACK!
"AIEEEEE!! Oww! G-give m-me an 'S'! "
"Satisfaction!"
CRACK!
"YIIEEOWW!! What's that s-spell? Panthers!"
CRACK!
"OOOOOWWWW! Wh-what's that spell? P-panthers!"
CRACK!
"AAAAAAHH! WHAT'S THAT SPELL? PANTHERS!!!" CRACK!
"AIEIIIIIII!"
"Hmm, it appears that I was mistaken. You may sign the paddle, Captain."

A nice scenario portrayed in a technically flawless story. It's certainly good to see the tried and tested coaching methods of the 'fifties still in use a generation later. And although the story is in the adult category, there is nothing to prevent the reader imagining high school cheerleaders rather than college ones if so inclined - as indeed I did on a first reading.

This is a cute variation on the ever-popular cheerleader story. I suspect quite a number of people would enjoy seeing the Pink Panther routine.
