Chloe approached Jasmine on the roof, noticing she was alone.
" Hey Chloe."
" Hey." She replied, barely able to keep her eyes open. She had only gotten a couple hours of sleep in before it was time for training.
" Valentina made Alek stay home. Told him he shouldn't be training yet, after what happened with the Jackals."
Chloe nodded, and if it was possible, was relieved and disappointed at the same time.
" Let's get training!"
Jasmine turned around and sprinted across the roof, Chloe following suit, picking up her feet heavily as she ran. She followed her down to the grass and they continued down back streets. Chloe realized she was heading toward the park, and the distance between them got closer until Chloe was running right beside her. The rest of the training session was spent like normal, running and jumping off of things, and finishing up with combat. Chloe collapsed on the grass beside Jasmine. They were silent for a while, staring up at the stars and listening to the gurgle of a fountain.
" Good job Chloe, you are getting better than me!"
" You have taught me a lot. Have I ever told you thanks?"
" I don't think so." Jasmine said, thoughtful.
" Well, thanks." Chloe turned her head to smile at her.
" It's my job." Jasmine replied, " But I have fun training you. Which brings me to the question I was going to ask you."
Chloe met her gaze curiously.
" As you know I don't have many friends, and I know it sounds lame, but maybe you could come over tomorrow, for like a sleepover?"
Jasmine giggled at herself.
" I'd love to!" Chloe exclaimed, jumping up happily. " We'll have so much fun!"
" Thanks." Jasmine jumped up to. " How about after you get off from work?"
" Sound's great."
They waved goodbye, running off in opposite directions, towards home.
