Answered Submission
Hey, Hon!
It's wonderful that you've decided to come to us for your advice needs! I'm going to make my advice short, sweet, and to the point. First of all, trust me when I say that I understand your struggle to do the activities you want to do vs. the activities that your parents want for you to do. I don't think your problem is commitment here, though. I think that you have more than enough space in your schedule to fully commit to one activity, but you just don't want that activity to be color guard. That's perfectly fine. Dance, as I can see, is your coping mechanism; it has helped you get through a lot, and you don't feel like doing it to gain some end result—you just want to be able to let loose and be happy. That's something you can do with dance.
Now for the parent problem... Honesty, there isn't one right way or one wrong way. It depends on your parents and whether or not that activity in their minds is negotiable for change. You might try talking to them about everything you have told me (sans the crush). I think bringing up the actual reasons why you don't want national credibility and don't care about P.E. credit will help sway their decision. You could also try talking to your dance instructor and telling her that you are most likely leaving dance, except you don't want to. You can suggest that your instructor talk to your parent(s) about your natural talent in dance—ways it can help in the future (health-wise mentally and physically), etc. Honestly, even what I'm suggesting to you is a shot in the dark. There is absolutely no guarantee that this will work and that you will change your parents' opinion. But stay optimistic. It's always better that way. Even if your parents do end up disregarding your preferences and make you go through color guard, don't mope. Be your best self, and perform beautifully. You have to remember that color guard in itself is still an amazing activity no matter what.

The London Phantom: A Superhero Webnovel
London is an old city. It has survived floods, fires, plagues and the man-made smog of industry. It has stood firm against the armies of Vikings, Saxons, Normans and the aerial might of the Luftwaffe. It has borne witness to dynsatic feuds, civil wars, military occupation and the sin of regicide. Through all these disasters the city has survived not through force of arms, though its walls were once the envy of the world, but through adapting to the times. Enemies become dependant on the city, and the wealth of the world that flows through it, and so become new allies. If the rulers change, then the city welcomes them with open arms, and open lines of credit. In this way the city seeks to preserve its ancient rights and position of power. Superheroes are a new phenomenon. The first superpowered man walked out of the Nevada desert in 1950, and the world was forever changed. Across the planet, men and women with exceptional abilities made themselves known. At first, they were little more than another source of fear in the era of Mutually Assured Destruction, but over time attitudes changed and the concept of the Superhero was created in the city of Los Angeles. From there the phenomenon spread across the globe; superheroes went from being feared arms of the state to a symbol of hope in these maddening times. Times have changed. Sixty years from the emergence of the first superhero, the City of London stands on a precipice. Two years have passed since the madman Fawkes nearly brought down the United Kingdom and the remnants of the Bow Street Runners, London's premier superhero team, are struggling to keep order in a city that seems on the brink of collapse. London stands on a knife's edge, with criminal organisations that once stuck to the shadows becoming more bold, and ancient powers from myth and legend making themselves known. Alexander Laszewski has recently 'awakened' and has become entirely unremakable, effectively making himself invisible to the world. He must use his newfound power to navigate a city on the edge of collapse. If only he could figure out how to turn it off.

This group of twenty-five finds themselves teleported to the land of Exandria, a world of swords and magic, of elves and orcs, of dungeons and dragons. A strange old man informs them that they are the newest members of the Adventurer's Guild, a group that takes contracts all around the world for gold and glory. For these normal humans the choice is simple: Serve or be executed. The captives are split into parties and sent out on their first jobs. Follow Brian and his newfound allies as they learn to become professional adventurers, complete contracts for the Guild, and maybe find a way home.
