What will the Sextuplets be offered by the President in the Oval Office of the White House?

Chapter Eight ~ White House

By Ariel Montine

~'This is Athena, your mother! Girls, now that you are awake, put on your robes and come to the kitchen! We need to talk!'~ And it was really our mother who had called to all of us telepathically. We did ,as she said, and put our robes on and came downstairs. All but Ariel, who I left in the bed still sleeping, followed me down the stairs carefully and quietly.

"Girls, I'm glad we had a chance to come together to chat. I'm especially pleased to have my two new girls, Andrina and Alana with me along with all of you so I will get a chance to know them a little better beyond the memories." began their mother Athena.

"Momma, What kind of faerie are you? Are you an elemental or and enchantress or something different?", asked Atina

"I'm an Enchantress just like Alana! Alana, if you need help with your chants then I can teach you new ones or help you manage the ones that you already have.", offered Athena

"Thank you Momma. I'm glad to know that I have someone to teach me. I've been doing the best I could with the few I knew .", I answered gladly. My prayers for a teacher had been answered closer to home than I had ever dreamed.

"Andrina, how are you getting used to being a faerie and elemental? My other 4 daughters, even though they called it psionic, have known about elemental powers for a while but you have just gotten your powerful ones.", queried Athena.

"It's all something to get used to but all worth while. I'm not sure I know what being a faerie means yet but I look forward to finding out.", Andrina told her.

Upstairs all of our cell phones chimed to indicate a text message had been received. I explained as I displayed the message, "We all have received a text message which says the coach wants us to report to the gym at 6 AM for dance team practice. She says that she hired an excellent Georgia Tech Dance Team Coach last night, named Beth Harding. (She is the one that Tina recommended from the Agency as being legitimate in her qualifications.) We have a command performance this afternoon at the White House so we will practice until we have to fly to Washington DC with private transportation being provided."

Athena began, "My daughters, it appears that you will have a full day of it. We will talk more when you return." My sisters and I in turn gave Momma a hug and kiss on the cheek and went upstairs to get ready to go out to practice and pack an overnight bag to bring along to Washington DC for our trip this evening. Soon we were all ready to go so to save time waiting for the bus I ported all of us to the gym area and we walked the short distance to the Gym and once inside were greeted by the coach and another lady with her in a Tech Cheerleading Coach blouse that designated her Dance Team Coach.

The Coach greeted us, "Hi Ladies! Thank you for meeting me this morning at 7AM. This is your new GA Tech Dance Team Coach, Beth Harding!"

Beth smiled and said, "I am so proud to be coaching you. You seem to be up for impossible challenges so here is another one. We have to get a performance ready to give at the White House on the South Lawn at 4 PM for your debut. Before we focus on that task there is more we need to tell you about."

Joining us were a couple more ladies, one of whom was Tina Caruthers, whom we knew.

The Head Coach continued, "This is Tina Caruthers who will be your Travel Coordinator and Stage Manager. The other woman is Gail Gordon who will be your Sound and FX Board Operator and along with Tina on your Set Up and Tear down team. "

We gave each of them a hug and a warm welcome to the team. The coach directed us to the equipment set up in the gym.

The Head Coach resumed, "Andrina designed and the Tech EE fabricated the special tower surround sound speakers with the special modifications so that they could be part of a magnetic harness system. Extending from the speaker towers will be lighting arrays. We also have a platform, about second story height, that the boards will be set up and hidden underneath. There is also a practice platform set up in the gym that we will set up after this equipment started being used in performances. We were given two BA-609 Aircraft which were already custom painted in Tech white and Gold with the words in tech script, 'Georgia Tech Dance Team' on the sides of each plane with Buzz, the Tech Yellow Jacket Mascot, on each side of the plane's tail."

After Tina and Gail had directed the crew of strong, young men about procedures, the towers were broken down as was the platforms and control boards and all of the equipment loaded on the dance team Cargo BA-609 which was waiting on a helipad adjacent to the gym. Meanwhile Tina, Gail and I had snuck off together into a private room at the rear of the gym.

Tina introduced me to Gail as a trustworthy person at the agency who had the skills to do the professional job that we needed for the sound to work. Later on as we wanted to dress up the show, pyrotechnics were to be added and Gail was qualified in their handling and controls as well.

Tina told me, " I chose Gail for one more reason. She's like you and I, She's a transwoman trying to earn enough for surgery. I vouch for her and I have told her that you were cool with her being trans and you might want to see her SRS letter."

Gail looked at me hopefully and I told her, "Gail, you are a very welcome member of the Dance Team. I wanted to ask you if I shared with you a personal secret, could you keep it?"

Gail gave me a hug and said "I can keep a secret for you, Alana."

I continued, "I have the ability to make one of us whole like I am and like Tina is and I would like to do the same for you Gail if you will accept the gift?"

Gail's face lit up as she showed me her SRS letter and told me, "Yes, Alana I will accept your gift! Please make me whole!"

I didn't speak another word but began chanting and the magic took hold of Gail and she was made whole. Gail was giggling as she gave me a quick hug and exited the room to continue the work of getting the equipment loaded.

Tina gave me a hug and told me, "Thank you. Alana!" and Tina went off back to work too and I returned with my sisters still listening to the coach.

"Coach Beth Continued, "Tina and Gail will be pilot and co-pilot on the cargo plane which will take our stage equipment to our venue. They will fly to our performance location in advance to set up all the equipment and test it. Tina and Gail are both qualified pilots and will crew the Cargo Plane. I have something for you Adella." And she handed a piece of paper to Adella which she shouted "Woo Hoo!"

Coach Beth explained, "The paper I gave Adella is an endorsement to her pilot's license that qualifies her as a BA 609 pilot. I will pilot the team plane and Adella, you will be my co-pilot. Lets go out back to see our new helipad and the cargo BA-609 and see Tina and Gail off."

My sisters and I marveled at the plane painted up flawlessly as a Georgia Tech Dance Team Plane. We waved goodbye to Tina and Gail as they raised the wing so the twin props could propel them into the air. Soon they were just a dot in the sky and we turned back inside to the gym.

Adella announced, "Have we got a surprise for you, Coaches. Hit it Girls!" Three of us lined up in one corner and three in the other. One of us in each corner took a running start and started leaping up into the air and continued going upward. We did tricks turning in the air before gracefully flying down to touch softly at the other side of the Gym. Two more pairs duplicated that till it was clear that we could all do it. I and my sisters were relying on the power of flight that Danu had given us.

Adella continued, "We all have discovered an ability to defy gravity so I wont have to manipulate gravity in such unique ways to provide a stage where our stunts would work. With our new abilities we can perform on an ordinary stage and do impossible things."

Beth smiled, " Oh I really like it, Girls! We'll extend basic cheer dance techniques and have you flying with a sexy and hard edge that will be different than anything they have seen before. This just makes things easier since the miracle is inside each of you to use . Let's get started!" And we worked and worked only stopping for a light lunch.

Beth worked us and worked us as Beth and the Head Coach one uped themselves with ideas on how to use our flying. What they came up with is so sexy, that we can count on all the males in the audience to need a cold shower when the performance was over.

Finally Both Beth and the Head Coach was satisfied and we had a routine that lasted 45 minutes that we could perform flawlessly. That earned us the right to shower and change into fresh uniforms and get ready for the ride since our plane had been ferried back to the Helipad and all we had to walk over and climb inside it.

Telling about this dance and finding out I'm Faerie has kinda thrown me for a loop. I guess that is why I have just skimmed over it becasue I have not felt vested in it and immersed in it like I had the earlier adventures being an astronaut. Hopefully when the history of the dance team comes out Atina or Arista can tell it becasue they can really tell a good story with lots of detailed descriptions. I know that I have within me my history of growing up as a girl, delighting in ballet and other girly dances as well as faerie stories told to us little girls by our Mother Athena. I fear that if I embrace that past too enthusiasticly that I will quit remembering growing up with Archie and Andrew. I'm glad of all the new memories I am making as Alana and one day I hope to be wise enough to discover the answer. Till then, I still look at some girl's things from the perspective of someone who was originally attempted to be socialized as a boy.

We had stretched things out to the limit and at 3 PM all were aboard and the plane lifted off bound for the White House. Our one ace was that we, like the cargo plane before, had been cleared into White House Air Space and for a landing on the South Lawn Helipad. The other ace was that this plane was like the BA-609 that we had traveled to Vandenberg which had deployable jet engines which could propel us after the prop system was disengaged to Mach 1.5. Allowing for slower speeds at both ends Our trip had been timed out to be 50 minutes. When we had exited Atlanta airspace, the jets were deployed and ignited, pushing us abruptly back into our seats. We soon got used to it as we had for the cross country trip to California.

It was hardly 30 minutes under full thrust! We felt thing get back to normal as the jets were hidden again and the props engaged. From Richmond's airspace it was hardly any time till we were in DC Airspace and finally were cleared to land at the White House. Tina and Gail met us at the plane and told us that everything had been set up without a hitch and we warmly greeted them. Fortunately, we had little time before performance for meet and greet so we got right to work with sound checks and getting ready for our first stunts.

Soon it was time with the President and other dignitaries watching and our performance started. Our performance was working out flawlessly just as we practiced it. While it had some aspects of a ballet in the air, part of it was ordinary dance that could be seen on the side of any football field in the country. Part was flying into and later over pyramids we had formed with out needing the strength that the male members had supplied since our abilities allowed us alone to do those things without their help. Most of all it was like a tribal dance which displayed the most sexuality that one could with their clothes on. Boobs were swaying and butts were wiggling in ways that most had never seen before. The crowd was blown away and when we finished there was so much tumult that we might have been mugged by the crowd had Atina not thought of our last move. We had all ended up on the platform at the end to hear the cheers In one last encore of aerobatics, we all flew off the stage coming down out beyond the crowd where some Secret Service agents were waiting to escort us into the White House. Amazingly enough Beth, Tina and Gail had managed to get to us away from the croud and they joined our group.

We were led from the South Lawn where we performed inside to the Oval Office of the President. As we entered we could see the President on the phone sitting behind 'the desk" A lot of history paraded before them and a lot of awe of being there. The President wasn't going to really give us a chance to say no by asking us again at the one place in the world with the greatest home field advantage.

The President finished his phone call and looked up at us and addressed us, "Your performance was marvelous, Ladies. I salute you, Beth Harding, Gail Gordon and, Tina Caruthers, for your contribution. However, I require a moment with the Sextuplets so if you three could excuse us?"

"Of course Mr. President!" said Beth speaking for the three of them. And a presidential aide opened a hidden door to an adjacent office which Tina, Gail, and Beth walked thru followed by the aide who closed the door. Now my sisters and I were all alone with the President and the fun was about to begin.

"Ladies, I am impressed that you have in such a short time been able to go from concept to execution. Your team is exceptional and I approve of every member, even your head coach being a party. Your art in going from concept to performance is exceptional and exceeds my expectation because the Georgia Tech Dance Team has become a national resource and a good will ambassador for Georgia Tech and the United States.", the President paused for effect but it was more than a sales pitch because these ladies were the real deal, the ultimate super spies with guidance and training.

"Ladies, I would like to spell out for you what we feel would be the best way to bring you into the Agency. Its a special kind of Agency that hides things from view and keeps them undercover. To the world it is the Nirvana Modeling Agency, whose CEO you know as Michael Briggs and for you his code name will be 'Archangel' You will be models and Tina codenamed Thief' and Beth codenamed 'Dancer' will keep their function. Even though attached to the Agency your mundane work for them will be minimal while you are sill in college. As for ongoing commitments, you will be continuing your education at Tech thru online classes. You all are going to become Air Force ROTC Minors next semester so you can get credit for the Military and Espionage classes you will attend elsewhere but marked present for ROTC classes at Georgia Tech. You will be working directly with the AFROTC #165 Commander. If we need your help while we are bringing your training up to speed, you will be undercover either thru the Dance Team or as Agency models. For all of this you will be compensated, including a new full scholarship for each of you, that you all have become eligible for as Dance Team members, endowed by an Alumni who wants to make sure that the GA Tech Dance team does not end when you ladies leave college. You will also be compensated with a salary for being on retainer thru the Nirvana Modeling Agency. Have you ladies a decision for me? Will you become part of the Agency?"

We all said in unison as sexily as we could together, "Yes Mr. President! We will become part of the Agency! And we request our group code name be 'zephyr'!"

I added, "I want to be code name 'tress'!" 'Tress' was short for enchantress.

Atina continued, "Might I be known as code name 'cryo'?" It was a shortened form of cryonic.

Adella stated, "I would like to be code name 'grav'!" grav was derived from gravity.

Arista contibuted, "Could I be code name 'plas'?" That was more convienent than saying plasma.

Andrina said, "You can put me down for code name 'elec'" Almost anyone would associate that with electromagnetic.

Aquata concluded, "May I be codename 'vort'?" She hoped that it would call to mind a vortex.

The President continued, "So ordered! I thank you, ladies and the world would thank you if it knew your miracles but the greatest gift is to leave them blissfully ignorant of the peril that might have awaited. My compliments to your dance coaches, ladies. What was it that allowed you to perform those miracles as you danced?"

I joined my sisters in answering with glee, "What it was, was magic!"
