"Ok, ok, Imma watchin!" She says, turning and watching the young little jet boy jump towards the bars and start spinning 'round and 'round. She tilts her head to the side, and then claps, cheering him on.

Jetstorm watches his brother with a smirk, and shakes his head. Let the blue twin show how showing up is done!
Jetstorm carefully times a running jump, grabbing at his brother's feet, and engaging his boosters to help swing them faster, going around a few times before he releases, flipping over a few times in the air, and landing gracefully on one of the holo-generated mats, grinning. "Ta-da!"

Jetfire frowns slightly at Jetstorm's antics. His brother is stealing his thunder! By hijacking his own moves, no less. Well, he'll see about that.
He swings around the pole a few more times then releases, twisting about and tucking into a spinning ball. As he nears Jetstorm he unfolds, falling head-first toward his twin. He reaches out with one hand and for a brief moment touches down on his brother's head, maintain a sort of one-handed handstand only long enough to push off into a final flip. Touching down directly in front of Jetstorm, he sweeps down into an extravagant bow.
"Ta-da," he says, smirking back over his shoulder at his brother.

"Man you two are show-offs," Firebolt laughs as she walks up and then looks up at the bars. The look in her optics clearly states 'What have I gotten into,' as she crouches down and then jumps up, grabbing onto the start of a set of monkey bars. She hangs there for a second before somehow managing to pull herself up onto the side by hooking her legs on the bars and then scrambles to sit up top.
The Ferrari-former then looks over at the jettwins and tilts her head to the side before swinging backwards, hooking her legs between the bars and hanging up-si-down.
"If I fall I swear," she says, "You better catch me or somethin," she says, getting used to the whole 'doing silly things that aren't dancing' sort of thing.

Jetstorm pouts at the use of his head for a handstand, wobbling slightly after Jetfire dismounts.
As Firebolt expresses her concern, Jetstorm jumps up on a balance beam, running along a short length. "Is no need to be worrying!" Then he falls off, purposefully, hitting the floor, and showing that it's padded. "The floor is being soft!"

Aw, they only show off a little! Really. "Soft like Brother's head," Jetfire says, smiling. Looking to Firebolt, he asks, "You are knowing basics, yes?" "Like handstand-" Stepping forward with a straight posture, he leans down into a quick handstand, toes pointing toward the ceiling. He holds it for a few seconds before dropping back to his feet. "And cartwheel," he continues, performing the spoken move. He then moves into a front roll, getting to his feet and immediately dropping back into a back roll. "And rolls!"

"It's like dancing without momentum," she says, as she swings back and forth, still while hanging up-si-down. She struggles a bit, trying to get up and then decides to just drop down. She takes a moment to gather up a bit of courage and then gets ready to drop.
"One, two, three..." She says as she drops and then holds her arms out to catch herself. She manages to for a moment, but then tumbles over backwards. "Ooof!" she grunts, but quickly gets up.
"Lemmie try that," she says, as she watches Jetfire do a cartwheel. She turns a neat cartwheel and then pulls another, spinning into a bit of a dance move before getting up, kicking her legs up a bit before landing.

"Well, some bits are needing the momentum, like what we did on the bar" he says, pointing to the bar. "Is using much less constant momentum than the dancing..."
From here, Jetstorm segues into a bit more instruction of some basic acrobatic techniques with Jetfire's assistance, and how to link them together in different ways.
---------- OOC: Time-skip-ish a bit for the teaching?

Demonstrating acrobatics is great fun! And good practice, too. It has been a long time since Jetfire has really been able to go all out in the acrobatics area. He is not at all rusty, though, and has perhaps gotten even better! The upgrades and cyber-ninja training probably have something to with that.
Cyber-circus, here he comes!
Firebolt can come, too, if she gets good enough.
OOC: Go, go power timeskip?

Firebolt sits cross-legged, looking up at the two as they explain. She likes them as teachers. They're fun!
ooc: timeskip on Jetstorm's sounds great!

Just as long it's not an eeeeevil cyber-circus! That would be bad. Yes.
Once the teaching and demonstrating is finished, Jetstorm leans back against a higher balance beam. His attention is on Firebolt - "Now you are to be trying?"

Silly brother, cyber-circuses are never evil! Right?
Jetfire lounges on top of the balance beam near Jetstorm, smiling at Firebolt. "Yes! Be showing off how good of teachers we are being!"

Firebolt tilts her head upwards, thinking about what to do for a few moments. She stands up and then nods, deciding on something. She moves over to a set of bars and hops up, grabbing it and hoisting herself up to sit carefully on the bar.
"Ok! Here we go," she says as she leans forwards and then spins once before jumping off, landing with a thump. She rolls forward into a handstand, managing to keep it for nearly thirty seconds, before dropping down and throwing her hands up in achievement.
"Ta-da!"

Jetstorm watches, grinning, and then clapping when Firebolt completes her display.
"Is being good!"

Jetfire applauds as well, continuing his thoughts from where Jetstorm left off, "Soon you will be good as cyber-circus performer!"
So he's a bit caught up on the circus thing. It is not like the Elite Guard gig is doing much for him in this universe.
Smirking at Jetstorm he says, "See how good of teacher I am being?"
