Megan scanned the faces of her teammates, noticing the absence of their youngest member who was supposed to be the flyer. Her expression was a mix of determination and concern. They had been practicing hard for the upcoming competition and needed every team member present. She sighed, her gaze drifting towards a nearby bench.

Leo, Megan's younger brother, was lost in the world of manga, blissfully unaware of the unfolding drama just a few feet away. Megan approached him with a resolute stride. "Hey, Leo, we need a favor," she said, her voice a blend of urgency and hope.

"A favor?" Leo asked, lifting his gaze from the pages with a cautious curiosity. Megan nodded, explaining their predicament and the absence of their flyer. "You're light, and we've done this before. Please, just this once?" she pleaded, knowing she had to sweeten the deal.

"I'll give you my pocket money for the month. You can buy all the manga you want," she promised, her eyes earnest and hopeful. Leo hesitated, torn between his love for manga and his sister's request. After a moment, he relented with a reluctant nod. "Fine, but just this once," he agreed, closing his manga with a resigned sigh.

Leo, initially wary, found himself lifted into the air, his heart racing with a mix of fear and thrill. "You've got this, Leo!" Megan cheered from below, her voice filled with encouragement. The team executed their stunts with precision, and Leo gradually relaxed, discovering a newfound exhilaration in the experience.

Leo's initial reluctance melted away, replaced by a growing excitement. He grinned widely as he soared above the team, his earlier doubts forgotten. The camaraderie of the cheerleaders enveloped him like a warm embrace, turning the practice into a joyous adventure. "This is actually fun!" he exclaimed, earning cheers and laughter from the team below.
