"Come on, guys! Just one more lap!" Hilary called. Hanging around her neck was a stopwatch. She was helping her friends, the Bladebreakers, train.
"You said that about five minutes ago!" Tyson wailed. "Can we rest soon?" he added. He wasn't used to running so much.
Hilary sighed. "Fine." she replied as Tyson's face lit up with relief and joy.
As the boys passed her, she recorded their times. Ray was quickest, followed closely by Max. Tyson surprisingly came third, and Kai came last. Hilary ran to Kai's side. "You feeling alright?" she asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine..." he panted. But he was lying; he'd been feeling unwell for the entire day.
"Alright, that's it for training! It's time for lunch!" Hilary announced. Tyson jumped up and down with excitement.
Suddenly, Kai let out a low groan and sank to the ground. "Kai?" Max blinked. Kai was lying on the sand.
"Kai, come on! Wake up!" Tyson yelled, trying to shake him awake.
Ray helped Tyson pick up Kai. "We'd better get him to bed." he announced.
LATER
Kai lay in bed sleeping. Hilary sat by him. He looks so peaceful when he's sleeping... He suddenly groaned. "Hey...sleepyhead." she began.
"Hey." he smiled. He noticed that she was looking at him oddly. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"I'm...gonna tell the others that you're awake." she smiled.
Hilary went into the garden. "Hey, Hil. What's up?" Tyson asked.
"Kai's up." she announced.
"Is he feeling OK?" Max asked.
"Er...Never better!" she replied hesitantly.
"Hey." Kai called. The boys looked startled. "Why are you all staring at me like that?" Kai asked. Hilary pointed at a mirror. Kai turned to see his reflection, except now he wasn't a boy, he was a girl.
"AAARRRGGGHHH!" he screamed.
