|The female's tail is very hard, and<br />she can use it to rub the ridges on<br />her back to make a rattling sound.<br />You can often see her performing<br />this mating call around Carnival.<br />When the mating calls of the male<br />and female overlap perfectly, the<br />two form a beautiful rhythmic bond.

|April 20<br />They call it basic training,<br />but there's nothing basic<br />about it! We had to tug a<br />tank while the captain rode<br />on it, yelling at us the whole<br />way! Boy. It was sure heavy.

(It was an accident!)<br />I think we'd all forgotten that<br />we even had wings, because we<br />climbed our way back up. Still, the<br />sunset made it all worthwhile.

|We fight an enemy fueled not<br />only by aggression but also<br />by unstoppable rhythm! Keeping<br />the beat in such tense conditions<br />for so long can change you, make<br />you forget who you are.<br />And losing sight of who you are<br />is a frightening thing.

My<br />dear friend on the com-link<br />gives me instructions, but she<br />also gives me encouragement<br />when the battle is heated. I may<br />be far from home, but she sounds<br />like she's sitting right beside me.

|Since it pops up quite a bit in this<br />game, we should tell you about the<br />"flip side" of the music world.<br /><br />When you listen to a song, you might<br />find yourself following the beat by<br />tapping your fingers. Picture it now.<br />"Tap, tap, tap, tap."

|Let's say you start paying attention<br />to the part of the beat where you<br />lift your finger.<br /><br />If your finger is tapping out the<br />main rhythm, then when you lift<br />your finger, that's when you're<br />hitting the flip side of the rhythm.<br />That's the offbeat.

|Some people train themselves to<br />follow a beat by always tapping<br />to the offbeat. It can be hard<br />to learn, but it has its rewards.
