Later on in the lair, it was now 10:00pm. Sensei and I had a late training session to make up for my missed one on Saturday, I had practice with my band.

"Now, Kimberly, what is your favourite dish?" Sensei asked, I was sitting down on my knees I front of him in that position as well.

"Huh? This is training, why would you ask me about food?"

"I asked you a question, so, what is it?"

"Uh... I don't know... Oh! Dumplings." I said smiling.

"Good." That's when sensei walked over to a table.

"I want you to pick this up, and bring it over to the exit."

"Alright! Easy!"

"While holding it on the very end of this prick."

"Okaaaay?"

"And, you have to get past me."

"Just got hard..."

I got in my ready position, but first, sensei gave me the prick, we bowed, and then I started to go. I swept under his punch, then I blocked his jab with the staff. I flipped over him all the way, but then he grabbed my foot and threw me back to the other side. I fell on my back with a groan. I got back up and quickly slid past him on the side, I grabbed the dumpling and stapled it with my prick, then I faced back to sensei.

"Remember, do not always focus on what the component is doing, most of the time, only focus on what you are doing." I nodded, and started to get past, wow... This is REALLY hard, well, if you're a five foot tall girl who's only had 5 years of training, up against a 6 foot tall mutant rat master training all his life.

I walked out of the lair really really sore, did I pass the dumpling test? No. But we did do other training like testing my senses, finding me a weapon where I can use it more than only once (keeping up with missing arrows and getting new ones all the time, harder than it sounds!), and testing my strength. In a word, LONGEST, SESSION, EVER!

I flop onto the coach with the rest of the guys.

"So! How was 'late training' with Master Splinter?" Raph looked over at me and asked.

I groaned. "Ugh, don't get me started." I rubbed the back of my neck.

"Well, your hard work will pay off." Leo said turning his head to face me. I smiled. Then checked my clock, (1:16pm) Eh... One more hour...
