You May Have Seen A Horse Fly... || Internship [Honey]

She was so excited, her first internship! Wooooohooo! She had been jumping on her bed all morning while talking to Kumoko and adjusting her hero suit. Trust me, that's difficult while you keep on jumping. "I feel like a whole new Honey is born!" She told her friend while jumping up and down with her arms and legs spread as far out as she could before jumping back up. She would have to calm down and she did not even have any sugar, so she was doing fine with that. Alright, alright, finally she remained seated and made sure that the hero suit was sitting fine and that the boasters were on the right spot of her shoes, her hands and her tail was doing fine now too. She wagged it a little before hugging her friend and heading out to go to the spot where she would meet Tsutsuji-sensei!

Aaah to have the third year support teacher as her teacher was like a dream come true. Second dream, because having Orlov-sensei as her own homeroom teacher was dream one. But that did not matter, she had signed up for Tsutsuji-sensei's classes because last year she fixed her hero outfit with the boosters to learn how to fly. She twirled while grabbing her bag with drinks and snacks, keys and bandaid because she knew she was an idiot. So now that she had everything ready she waved goodbye to her friend again and sprinted down. She had designed her own hero outfit and worked hard on it with Kumoko's help and she was rather okay with it. She had showed her mother who had pointed out the importance of colour and prettiness and she had hired a seamstress to fix Honey's sloopy work, it looked rather professional and she held the yellow barret while running down the stairs. She did not care, she was going to do her very best and become even better this year! Now that she had no need to catch up to the first half of year one, she would have more free time to get familiar with what she wanted to acomplish and do, that was her goal for year two. But one for that was learning how to fly or more like how to establish a better crash landing than her own crash landings.

It did not take long for Honey to arrive at the place Hachi had told her. She did not get lost once! It was a big accomplishment but she was an excited creature and she had paid very well attention to where she was running, it also helped that she had her phone in her little hands to check the map every so often. "Tsutsuji-sensei! Hello." She stopped, oh god, so informal! She quickly bowed to the bee teacher and looked a little bashfull at her but with still a big smile on her face: ExciTED!

She looked around to see where to drop her bag and what to do and she tried to remain standing still, she could do that for a bit but not too long. She was going to show her best side!

Honey was so excited that she realized too late she had been so informal and had quickly bowed to the teacher. She bit her lip and with big green orbs she stared at Tsutsuji-sensei. Oh, oh shoot, she had used the wrong name... she nodded and did not dare to say anything and looked again a little bashful. "Oh." she got a little more enthusiastic now that she could use her hero name, "I thought I had to fill in something when I started but I changed it." She grinned, "Into Furball." With a big grin on her face, she was absolutely not ashamed of it, Honey Hirano was proud of the idea to be called Furball, because she was always enthusiastic which was the ball reference, bouncing around and so on, and well she had a fur and a tail so she used this.

The little Furball wiggled because she tried to stand still on the spot, she had no idea she was moving really and still grinning from "ear to ear" at Hachi. "Honey Lemon is-" She bit her lip again, she almost said was her stage name... Huh she shouldn't share that but on the other hand, Orlov-sensei knew she was because of missing classes last year and so on, she was sure the school knew, "A stage name." Which was also why she wanted something else, and Furball it is!

She turned her attention quickly back to Tsutsuji-sensei when she explained about her bag and Honey nodded again but remained standing as her teacher wasn't done explaining. She looked at her as she moved, it was so cool to see Hachi Tsutsuji up close and like talk to her! She would almost bounce but she remained standing on her spot (give her an award for this already) and she looked around, she saw the mat and looked at the space and started to grin again, "Flying?" She asked as if she was a little silly. She shook her head wildly, "No, I don't mind, practice is more important and if this is the best way I can learn, which I believe it is, than I would do anything." Now she finally hobbled off to bring her bag to the bench and get ready for the big try out. She would quickly show up again, made sure her hat was secured, her poofy skirt was fine and her tail and everything. Ready for take-off!

Honey moved her little food a bit like circles on the floor, hands behind her back and she looked down with her face but up with her big green eyes at Tsutsuji-sensei, would she say that furball was a bad name? She had not asked a professional hero yet about it, but she had thought it was cute and energetic and something that would fit her. Now she did not read the amusement of Hachi as a good sign, some past experience with her mom had made that clear but right now she wasn't sure if it was bad or not and she nodded because the name was repeated. She nodded, her mother would probably not agree with Orlov-sensei though so she had gone on her own way to find a name that she found nicer than Honey Lemon but she nodded again and looked up with a little smile when Hachi said that it was Furball today. So her name was accepted?

Her teacher for today started to explain more about what they would do and she nodded and thought about it while trying to listen very carefully. Although her ears were invisible by the yellow hat that she wore, she was definitely listening carefully. She moved her feet up and down without barely making a sound but she was so energetic that sitting still was almost impossible, she had no idea of herself moving her feet even, she was focused on listening. She looked up, head up high, shoulders down when Hachi said she should go as fast as she could to the structure that stood there, she would almost sprint off but realized her teacher wasn't done yet and she looked with an eager expression on her face to Yellow Jacket, but what followed about her landing technique made her hunch down in her shoulders and look back at the floor. She had no landing technique, her teacher had probably figured that out already by the sports festival, she might have watched it or something alike. "Yes, sensei." she said when Hachi finished and her eyes had lingered on Hachi hovering and she wanted to perfect this, so it was going to work hard for that and she dribbled off to go to the structure and climb on it. She took a moment to take a deep breath and swallow the lump in her throat away. Now, this was the time to show her teacher how she would fail with this! Alright!

She would go jump to make her suit go into flight modus and glide forward, she thought about landing by putting her little feet forward when she slowed down, but what happened was that she kept on gliding and in the end fell off the matt on her bump, at least not so harsh but that was not the way.

---

Poof. She slid off and rubbed her ass as she stood up, or well more the back part where her tail connected to her body. She shivered, that has definitely been worse than ever before, the last time she did this she had managed to make a little bit of a better landing and she jumped up to rush to Hachi and apologize for her failure. Honey rubbed the back of her head, trying to make sure her little hat was still there, "I got a little nervous and thought this would be better but in the end, it was worse." She said honestly, it might be considered mumbling on a normal volume for Honey though and she looked at the floor. Moving her right foot a little more into the dirt and grass before looking up at Hachi. This was so embarrassing. Oh, so it wasn't even that bad what she did but just the wrong style? Her big green eyes stared at Hachi as she explained, yes Honey was surprised. She also expected some harder words as her mother always immediately told her what she did wrong and not in this way. She made a silent o sound when Hachi simply continued to explain why it was a dangerous move and she nodded and nodded again. Tsutsuji-sensei so smart, that she saw and explained all after one of Honey's failed ways. She nodded again and thought about it and looked at her hand, "I can try that!" She quickly said, yes, somersault, should be something she should have thought off as that is exactly what happened at the sports festival.

She followed Hachi as she looked at their belongings at the bench. "Oh at least the hand patches please." She would definitely have to work on that making it so that her hands wouldn't scratch open, she lowered them. Honey shouldn't worry, her teacher obviously knew what she was going to do. Trying to remain still as she would wait for the patches, she after that nodded that she would try and sprinted off to the construction again to climb up. She waited for jumping, making sure everything was right, clapping her hands together as to remind herself this was about landing on her hands and just trying not to go face forward. She jumped again down and this time she tried to stop herself by moving her elbows in, to catch less wind, sticking out her hands to the floor and trying to make a somersault. Well... it didn't go so smoothy, she fell sidewards thanks to the wind not being on full speed against her but she should try to get that somersault better. Strange, she was sure she had done that before and jumped up with a small agitated look on her face. "Let me try again, sensei!" She said and quickly ran towards the structure and jumped again. Only during her jump she realized she should have waited for Hachi's advice. Which made her distracted and slip, she made again a weird looking somersault and scratched her head. "A little too enthusiastic." She said to herself, not to the teacher but she went to Hachi and bowed, "Sorry, I thought I got what I did wrong." But not yet.

She had in her hurry missed the first time that Hachi extended her hand to Honey as she had sprinted off to try another time and now the second went bad as well. She shook her head, scratched it a little before looking up at Hachi and taking her help to get up and made a small bow to apologize for her running off again. She looked at her hands as she wondered if she could do a handstand or a cartwheel. She had surely did those things in her enthusiasm but really practised that, not really. "I have seen those eh gymnasts do a handstand before going into a slow somersault, is that what you mean?" She asked because she was trying really her very best to imagine what her teacher meant because that was what she would have to focus on. She had to be a little slower so she listened and she took a few steps back and tried a handstand on the ground. She was wobbly, but she managed to do it and nodded to herself, to consider that she would have to train that to practice her landing but she could now try it again. "I try again, right?" Though she felt already that she was getting a little tired from running and climbing up and flying but she would want to make Hachi proud that Honey got what she meant and she would just wait for approval before sprinting off and climb up the construction.

She clapped her hands together to go through the plan and try to visualize it a little better. She would try to stop herself with her hands and lift up her legs slower and try with that to make a straighter roll than she had done now. She would jump again, thank god her suit seemed to hold on and she would watch very carefully where she would land and extend her hands to make use of the hand patches and though she couldn't get her legs as high up as she imagined she made quite a straight roll this time. Still with a poof she got on her butt but that was a lot better and less painful than before. She grinned up to her teacher. "That was fun!" It could still use improvement and maybe this was the one-time lucky chance as she took a moment to propose herself but this was something that made her smile happily.

Nothing could really break Honey's spirit. Maybe it was a little of her dense perspective to the world, but she had learned to be always positive, about nearly everything. So she asked, she got it almost right and nodded, which made her happy as Hachi-sensei simply said best of luck and she sprinted off again to try and try and try again. Though at that point she wasn't aware yet that she would have to do it so often more. This time it went a lot better and she sprinted back to her teacher to say it was fine and look forward to her feedback. She looked with her big green eyes at Hachi when she explained that it was good but not good enough and her happy smile turned into a determined expression. Alright, well she was going to make it better in that case and do better and so on. She just frowned, thought about it and nodded, okay, do a couple of times and do it right and right three times before it was done. She nodded though again, she understood and immediately sprinted off again.

Maybe it was the nerves that she had to do it three times in a row but the first time failed, but without grumbling or looking tired, she ran around to climb the construction again and try and try and try. Finally after the fourth time, she managed, but the fifth time failed again. So it was until time nine, ten and eleven in this round that she finally managed. She was tired, you could see it by the fact that she was dragging her hands and feet lower towards the ground, barely getting her feet off the ground so to say but she tried to show an enthusiastic side. "I did it." She said, showing a small but tiring dance and she jumped up once before standing still, holding her hands and holding onto her tail like a soft blanket wrapped around her. She wanted to try without a matt, but she was tired. She had been running around, jumping around and flying about with somersaults extra. "So now without the matt, right?" She wanted to prove she could do this!

She should work hard if she wanted to become better, with missing half a year in her first year and not having a goal until she realized it in her second year, this meant she had to make up and study things and flight was definitely on that list. With the help of Hachi-sensei, she managed to get quite far and when she was finally able to do the three good landings in a row, she hurried to her teacher and grinned happily when she noticed the clapping. She loved this way of teaching, she felt like she really accomplished something. She would help her teacher to remove the mat and she would climb back on the construction and took a few seconds to focus. She had in mind how to do it now and it had gone fine for the last three rounds, so she had to prove she could still do it. She needed to work on her focus and that was exactly what she was going to do now.

So after the few seconds of a break, she would jump off, hover, and would go down to the ground and make the right roll and she jumped up after that and made a little happy dance that she was doing it right. She hugged Hachi quickly (albeit for a few seconds) she followed up with running back to the construction and doing it again and she took again the pause to think before making the right roll again. She was so excited about it but when she sat down on the grass and noticed the sun disappearing behind the treetops and everything, she got hit with exhaustion. When Hachi offered her food, her stomach did a loud impression of a whale and she covered her stomach and smiled, "That sounds amazing!" She thought for a second before pointing out a dumpling take-out restaurant that was close by and that she would like that. She looked up even more surprised when her teacher offered it as a treat and she grinned, beamed and looked happy for forever, this was the best day ever!
