A good sign indeed.

Now, is Ellen going to accept it, or . . .

And flying upside down would be disconcerting and disorienting.

I notice the coach still does not have a name (no tag at the bottom, to identify her).

I love Abbie's line:

The 'gush' strategy. Either you win them over, or you convince them you're nuts!

I love that Atsali is not trying to deny anything that Ellen says, but rather is accepting responsibility for her mistake. The look on Ellen's face seems to convey that she was certainly not expecting that reaction, from Atsali.

If at first you don't succeed ...

... fess up!

You know, for some of us that's not a strategy, that's just what it is...

Indeed. I get the feeling that there is no strategizing or any after-thought in this gushing instance. Atsali is just being Atsali.

Having said that, Abbie's line is still hilarious.

Looking again, Devyn looks a little surprised . . . does Ellen have a reputation?

Coach seems a little surprised too . . .

Of course, if Atsali just convinced Ellen that Atsali is nuts, well . . . "Never mess with a crazy person".

I'm just glad to find out Pablo is still alive...

I, did not see that coming . . .

I am glad that Atsali is better with her teammates than she is with her sister, and that whole sibling-typical-fight over everything kind of relationship.
A freshman predator throwing her weight around with a varsity predator squad captain would not end well

um its an AGE thing...(if you mean her 'sister' Castela...)

girls with similar age, are much more understanding....
I am sure if Castela got another sister with the same age as she is, they would team up and make Atsali's life even more confusing , while giggling together

Isn't that what Daylla is for Castela?

I don't think Daylla lives with Castela...

. . . which really doesn't affect the confusion factor, just the opportunities for confusion.

with modern communications living together is not a critical factor

Yeah, It's unproven but I think the 'Bubbles' picture, w/ Atsali & Naddette, was meant to last us until Tuesday. At least thats how it worked out...

YES, it IS..... young kids have to go HOME at night!!! and yes, EVEN sleep overs happen only once a week maybe...

IF you are an 'adopted sister', you have **24 hours** a day, to mess about with your 'same age' sister!

If two families live on the same block (metaphorically speaking) the young'uns may run tame in both houses to the extent that it becomes almost a blended family.

During my high school years there were two homes, besides my actual own, that I could enter without knocking. But in balance, ther parents in those homes felt comfortable disciplining me as needed...

Exactly what i'm talking about.

And it may actually start in early grade school.

Yup. I was part of a similar reciprocal arrangement with a neighbor kid when I was in elementary. Well, the elementary school I was at for the longest, at least, before dear old dad dragged us off to some other place, chasing promotions.
