Lucy point of view

I couldn't go to sleep...

"I highly doubt that you will be able to learn this, I highly doubt that you will be able to learn this, I highly doubt that you will be able to learn this"

Pein's words echoed in my head like a broken record and it didn't stop...

"I highly doubt-"

Finally I had enough...

"BE QUIET!" I mentally commanded.

It stopped but I didn't I opened my eyes and sat up...

"Pein doesn't think I can do it just because I fell so many times?" I thought.

I got out of bed...

"Well I'll show him! I'll learn to do that jumping from place to place thing!" I thought.

I got dressed...

"And!" I thought.

I took Pein's ring off my thumb and put it down on the floor...

"I'll do it all by myself!" I thought.

After that I left my room and ninja ran all the way to the place where me and Pein we're training...

"Is this the right tree?" I asked myself.

It was dark so I couldn't really tell if this was the right tree...

"I think it is... Now time to climb up..." I told myself.

I climbed up the tree with a bit of trouble but managed to make it to a branch...

"Ok deep breaths, Lucy... You can do this... I know you can..." I encouraged myself.

I took a deep breath before taking a jumping...

"You can do-!" I thought.

I hit the ground...

"Ow..." I said.

I stayed there for a few seconds waiting for the pain to go away... Once it was gone I got up...

"Don't give up! You can do this, Lucy!" I told myself.

I tried to do it over and over again but each time I hit the ground...

"I think I need to think about this before trying again" I thought.

I got up off the ground...

"It's pretty obvious that I can't do it with just a normal jump because that would be way too short... But if a person builds up speed before jumping they can make a longer jump..." I thought.

I looked at the tree...

"But there's the problem... The branch is too short to get a running start on... And I couldn't just flat out jump up there after getting a head start on the ground because it's too high..." I thought.

Reading lots of books have paid off...

"So just what am I supposed to do?" I asked myself.

I stood there for a few seconds before I realized it...

"Wait a second... Pein was tricking me! He was showing me his way of doing it which was the advanced version while he was expecting me to find the beginner way!" I thought.

I smiled about finally figuring out the right way...

"I got you now, Pein! Now to find a way to get up to the tree branch then to where Pein was" I thought.

I began to walk looking for a way...


Pein point of view

I was sleeping inside of my ring when I felt something that woke me up...

"What was that?" I asked.

I got out of bed and put on my cloak... I still can't believe that the child calls this a big coat... It is obviously a cloak...

"Better go check" I said to myself.

I left my ring by going through the door in my room...

"Child? Are you-?" I asked.

I stopped talking the second I noticed that the child was nowhere to be seen, my ring was lying on the floor, and the door was open...

"Where is she?" I thought.

I looked around the room to see if she was hiding from me...

"Did she wander off? Did she get kidnapped?" I thought.

I picked my ring up off the floor...

"I better go looking for her just in case..." I thought.

I got out of the mansion without anyone seeing me then jumped from place to place looking for her...

"Where are you?" I thought.

Eventually I found her but she didn't seem to notice that I was here...

"What is she doing out here?" I thought.

I watched her for a while... As she jumped out of the tree and hit the ground multiple times...

"She's training without me it seems... She's working hard in her training too..." I thought.

After a while she stopped and got up but didn't go back to the tree... She just stood there...

"What is she doing now?" I thought.

After a while she began to walk away from the tree...

"Has she given up? I wouldn't expect any less from a child like her... Especially one that has failed so many times..." I thought.

I was about to go back to my ring and just leave it for her to find... But then...

"Yahoo!"


Lucy point of view

I found a place that would work...

"Ok remember Lucy... Running start, don't stop and lose your momentum, foucus, and the power to believe in yourself..." I thought.

I took a few steps back and ran as fast as I could before jumping onto something small then something bigger and so on...

"Yahoo!" I cheered happily.

I was doing it!

"Yes! I'm doing it! I'm doing it!" I cheered happily.

I made it to the place where Pein had made it...

"Woo hoo! I finally did it! I knew I could!" I cheered happily.

Exhaustion had begun to catch up with me from staying up so late and falling out of a tree so nany times...

"Goodnight world" I said to myself.

I fell over and passed out...


Pein point of view

"So she figured it out it seems" I thought to myself.

I was surprised that she figured it out...

"Did she just collaspe?" I wondered.

I saw her collaspe after celebrating for a short period of time...

"She's probably really tired she's just a little girl after all" I thought.

I jumped over to where she was and picked her up...

"It is still impressive that she was able to figure out something that me, Kami tricked her with..." I thought.

I began to head back to the mansion so if someone came to check on her they wouldn't think she was kidnapped or something...

"Enjoy sleep, child... Tomorrow there is more training..." I thought.

I put my ring back on her thumb before going back into my ring...
