Chapter 3 Getting the hang of things

"Hah! Do you honestly think that you could survive in somewhere like this?"

Amy scowled, She look survive here! She was tough enough! She could use some improving but besides that, she was fit to go in this boxing gym!

"I could too survive here! What makes you think I can't?"

The man scoffed and held back a laugh.

Amy was furious.

"It's not like you could get in here either."

The man snapped up, no longer laughing. He scowled at her in anger. Amy just smirked.

"Is there something wrong here miss?"

Amy looked to her right. She saw a man with black hair that reached down to his back, a six pack under his undershirt, nice muscles and blue eyes. All in all, he was hot.

Amy blushed. But she hid it.

"Yes sir. I'm afraid there is." Amy sighed. "This man thinks I wouldn't be able to fit in here." Amy pouted.

"Oh? And why is that?" The man looked over at the guy at the desk. The man at the desk hid behind the desk.

"It hurt my feelings. Do you think I could fit in? Could you get me in this gym? Oh please." Amy batted her eyelashes and made sure she was still pouting a little bit so her lips looked plump.

"Why yes I could. Come this way ma'am." The man took her arm in his and gave her a grin. Amy giggled and rested her head on his buff arms.

"Your arms look so big. How long did it take to make them this big?" Amy traces her finger along the veins popping out.

"Believe it or not, a month and a half." The man raised his head up high. The grin still rest on his face.

"No! Really?" Amy gaped at him. She wanted to moan at his arms. A weakness of hers. Big arms.

The man grinned proudly and looked down at her. "By the way, my name is Drake."

Amy grinned back. "Cute name."

Drake chuckled. "No problem little lady. Well, this is our stop. You put on these clothes when getting taught how to box. You will be taught stance and defense today. You will learn more tomorrow. The more you do, the tougher it will get. But if you are that committed, you will get through it. This is the food you are aloud to eat. This is your daily work out and your schedule of when to eat and work out. Good luck. I'll be in the office if you need me. I'm the boss. Bye little lady." Drake gave Amy a kiss on her cheek, winked and went into his office.

Amy was squealing in excitement. She started drooling over Drake. She sighed and got her clothes on and such then, went out to learn stance first.

She saw a guy yelling at a man who was hitting gloves on another person.

"Come on you son of a bitch! Do you want to lose or die in this fight? DO YA? Well, work harder you bum!"

Amy sweat dropped. "Hehehe..."

Let's just say, she was pretty nervous.

She walked up to the man. "Excuse me, I'm Amy Rose. I was told to come to you to start with stance and defense.

The man sighed angrily and turned to look at her and then he grins. "Oh yes! I'm the right guy! I'm gonna teach you stance today! And if you get through with it, then we will move onto defense."

Amy grinned back. "I can do that!" The man chuckled.

"Well, it is quite simple. Pretend you're in the ring and I'm your partner. You will stand to the side when you face me, like this. Then you will bend your knees. But not to far! Half way. Yes! Like that! Now, bring up your arms and bring your knuckles up to your cheek bone. Don't let them touch your face though. Your knuckles should get to know your face real well. No. Not like that. No. Like this. Copy me. Yes! Now I'm going to count to 5. Do all these steps. Step 1 is your knees. Then, Step 2 is..."

A few hours later

"Damn!"

Amy was panting furiously and she sits back down in her corner as her coach sprays some water into her mouth.

Apparently, you don't swallow the water.

Amy swished it around in her mouth and spit it out into the bucket.

"Damn little lady! You're so much damned better than I thought you would be! Did you see what you did to Jeff?"

Amy was taught stance and then moved onto defense. She got through that so fast that she moved onto a punching bag then, after a while, she got tired of it.

"I'm tired of this punching bag. I want to box a person." Amy had said.

Her coach, whose name happened to be Mickey, chuckled. "Not right now Amy. You just got the hang of it."

Amy growled in anger and frustration. She was tired of people telling her what to do, it was time she stood up for herself.

"I don't care! You said that when I felt I could go further, to give it a shot! I didn't sign up to do the same thing that I already got down, all day!"

Mickey snapped up his head in shock, He never knew she would snap at him. He grinned big.

"It's about time you stood up for yourself! Alright! Defiant! Go get the big guy!"

Amy had seen the huge guy and sweat dropped. She was scared. Amy remembered what Mickey had said. Not to allow yourself to be afraid. There is always going to be someone bigger and stronger than you.

Amy remembered what Shadow had told her.

"Amy. Why do we fall?" Shadow had asked after Amy got attacked by a swarm of birds, she was upset that she got scared.
"Why?" Amy whispered.

"To pick ourselves back up."

Amy smirked and threw the first punch.

She knocked 'the big guy' onto his back.

Not his butt. His BACK.

Mickey had a grin/smirk on his face.

Let's just say, after the fight, he couldn't really stand.

Amy shook her head out of her memories and skipped over to Mickey.

"Did I do good Mickey? Did I do everything right?" Amy asked with a big, proud grin on her face.

"You were magnificent! You were perfect!"

Amy squealed mentally.

"Yes! I knew I could get it! What about tomorrow? What will I be taught tomorrow?" Amy giggled.

Mickey chuckled. "You're going to do the same thing you did today. Then, you're going to go to the punching bag. And, you will hit the gloves until you can't go on any longer. I want to see how far you will push yourself."

Amy giggled again.

"Alright! I'm ready!"

All in all, she was having a pretty good day.
