"Nono, own, or p-w-n is gamer speak. It means that... Hrm. I beat you severely and awesomely!" she taps a finger against her mouthplate while thinking. "I don't own anyone, I am not mean like that. But I do pwn. I TOTALLY PWN!!" she throws the horns at this.
She smiles, her ponytails fanning out to show that she's happy, "I'd like to be able to play you guys! I have all sorts of games too," she ticks off on her fingers as she lists, "Fighting, first person shooters, third person shooters, strategy, racing, puzzle, RPG..."
She stands back up and resumes her spot on the dance pad, "And if you want, I can teach you guys to dance dance!" She drops down into a break dancing sort of move and spins when she jumps back up.

Jetstorm takes his brother's hand, and is pulled up, brushing himself off slightly.
Then Firebolt rattles off a bunch of game genres, then mentions dancing.
Hmmm.
"Should we try learning the dance-dance, brother? Maybe we can teach some acrobatics moves in returning?"

Jetfire takes longer than necessary to release Jetstorm's hand after pulling him up, enjoying the subtle reassurance that yes, his brother is really here and not just an illusion. You would think the pushing about and combining would do that well enough, but hey, he was missing for months! So what if he is a little clingy?
He has no idea what half the types of games Firebolt just listed would be, but they all sound like they could be fun. He decides to make it a personal mission to play at least one of every type of video game some day. But that can wait for another time!
Smiling, he looks between Firebolt and Jetstorm, and says, "That is sounding like a good idea, brother!" Especially the acrobatics. It has been awhile since he has had the opportunity to really show off, and he does enjoy showing off. To Firebolt, he asks, "Where are we beginning?"

Ooooh how EXCITING! They actually want to learn how to dance! From her! Firebolt turns and sets the DDR to 'training' mode so there's no chance of failure, mainly so music can run in the background.
"I'll be glad to teach you to dance, I'm excited too, that you wanna teach lil ol' me something!!" She beams, as she gets the music going. She moves her arms in a vogue-dance sort of way. "Music is all about the rhythm. I would say something about being flexible, but you mention acrobatics, so you don't need that explained," she starts on, very passionate about this subject. "If you can't feel the beat, you're a failure! Fail-boat toot toot," she laughs at this.
She crouches down as if she's going to jump at them but instead pushes up into a one armed handstand and then arches to the side, sweeping her legs around. She pushes backwards with one foot, flipping back up. All of her motions were in time with the music. She pulls a few more fancy moves, before sliding back in front of the twins and grinning.

Jetstorm moves a bit away from his brother so that he can have room to move, watching Firebolt's explanation, then ponders. "So one must be feeling the beat...?" he says, focusing a bit on the music, and starts to sway side to side.
He looks over at Firebolt, looking a mite confused. "How are we to be knowing what actions to be doing?"

Jetfire looks down at his feet. Well, he supposes he can feel the beat a little in the vibrations of the floor...
"Would it not be making more sense to hear the beat?" he asks, starting to bob his head in time with the music.
Watching curiously as Firebolt makes her demonstration, he grins. "I can do handstand!"
Leaning forward, he almost topples into a handstand, one palm flat on the ground, then other arm held out to the side for balance. His legs sweep up over his head, one knee curling until his toe-tip comes close to touching his helmet. He holds the pose for a moment so that people might marvel at his skill, then lets his other hand drop down to help support him, straightening out his legs slightly.
Craning his neck to look up at Firebolt, he adds, "Rest of dance-dancing I am being not so sure about."

"Well hearing it is good, yes, but I mean..." Firebolt says as she rocks back and forth to the beat while thinking. "When you feel the beat in your body, you go beyond just listening. I mean, it's hard to describe. It just takes a lot of practice to get used to it," she claps her hands together, "But don't let that throw you off! I don't wanna make practice boring." She thinks for a moment, "Dance moves, dance moves..." she snaps her fingers and the proceeds to explain a few basic moves of break dancing. She explains, demonstrates, and teaches the moves to the twins, which takes a bit of time, but the time skip over the boring teaching part was agreed on by all three players.
Basic moves were taught, including the top rock (standing part to get the beat of the song), the drop (making it look like you trip yourself but really are just spinning into) and the windmill (one of the strongest moves to learn which involves sweeping the legs around).
A good chunk of time passes, more than a few hours, in order for the teaching to be done. "So, try it all together, those three that I taught you," she says after teaching, and then demonstrates once more the three moves in succession, before jumping back up. The music in the background is a generic sort of dance beat, nothing too distracting so the twins can work on their dancing more than worrying about the music.

Jetstorm steps up to the performing area, swaying on his "tiptoes" a bit before beginning the top-rock, swinging it in a few directions first, and then falling into the the drop.
Then he smirks, deciding to be a bit of a show off as he turns to start the windmill, engaging the flight boosters on his feet enough to do an extended windmill, and puts a bit of a cyclone into it, wind whirling around him before he springs back up.
"I am thinking I am hitting the head of the nail!"

"You are being great big show-off, Brother!" Jetfire says, crossing his arms. Despite his chiding tone, there's an amused smirk on his face. He is just a little grumpy because adding a little real wind to your windmill is hard to one-up. No hands, no viz scanner would not be especially impressive - or possible - in this case, and what else would he do, light his feet on fire?
...Come to think of it, that could look pretty cool, especially if the lights were off...
Oh well! Better to just show off what he learned for now and prove that he is as good a dancer as his twin!
Starting off with the top-rock to get the beat, he moves through the drop and into the windmill, finishing off by flipping back to his feet. Giving Firebolt a big thumbs-up, he say, "Nail is being most definitely hit!"

Firebolt couldn't be happier. She's taught somebody something, it stuck and they're HAPPY about it. "That's wonderful! You two are wonderful! You learn fast AND you've got style," she bounces back and forth from foot to foot, and then throws her arms out. "Let's do some more!" She goes about teaching them many moves, pick and choose which they want to learn! It gives them a lot of time to hone their own style as well.
(ooc: Perhaps a few 'nother hours for a timeskip to pass over the boring learning part and give them a bit of a mastery over a few moves and whatnot?)

Jetstorm picks up the moves fairly quickly - given his nimbleness and penchant for showing off, they come easily.
By the time they're finished, he's still not winded, and crosses his arms with a smirk, looking over at Firebolt. "I am to be thanking you, Firebolt - these will be fun to practice, and will hopefully be working well in combat!" Jetstorm gives the carbot a hearty grin, then glances at Jetfire. "Right, brother?"

"Definitely, Brother!"
Jetfire picked up the moves just a fast as his twin. Just up his alley! Ah, and there is that small wish to be a cyber-circus performer rather than a junior officer in the Elite Guard... Or both! Both would be great.
"Is being like cyber-ninjutsu only with more flash and less highly coordinated striking!" Break-dancing and martial arts. Totally the same thing.

"What who what now?" Firebolt peers over at Jetfire. She shrugs and then plops down on the floor, leaning back on her arms and stretching out, taking a little break from standing up. "Hey twins, you said you wanted to teach me something. Was that stuff you mentioned.. Is that what you call it back where you're from?" She questions.
She leans further back, glancing over at the screen which has long since lost its DDR arrows and instead has information on the song that she has been playing. She watches the music length counter tick for a few moments.

Jetstorm pipes up at Firebolt's question. "Ah, no, we were going to be teaching acrobatics! Cyber-Ninjutsu is being a combat art."
He pauses a moment, thinking back to when they were learning from Jazz. "Though, the acrobatic techniques can be being used in the combat. Though, we still are having a ways to go, as Jazz was not having much time to be teaching us a good deal before we had to go to Earth."

"The dancing is being a bit like acrobatics, too, only with less leaping through the air and making to balance precariously."
Jetfire nods in agreement as his brother speaks then suddenly remembers something. He reaches out excitedly to tug on Jetstorm's arm. "Brother! Prowl is being here, too, and he is also cyber-ninja like Jazz!"
Surely Jetstorm knows exactly what idea has popped into Jetfire's head.
