Hello there, everyone! Thanks again to all my reviewers. I really need the comments so I know what people are thinking about the story so far and ways to improve my writing. Don't be afraid to comment! Even if it is anon or not. Back to some training in this chapter, so enjoy it! I'll try to stop having moping around and depressed Up for now, haha.
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Starship.
Taz sat in the gym, slightly annoyed, looking at her watch. She had a training session with Rosa that was supposed to start twenty minutes ago, but her daughter did not show up yet. Taz got up and was just about to start packing up her things to leave when she heard footsteps coming toward her. She glanced up, noticing it was Rosa.
"Glad jou finally showed up."
"I'm so sorry, mom. Just let me explain." She panted, because she obviously had just ran to the gym.
"Go ahead."
"I was out and lunch with Hunter and didn't realize what time it was because I didn't have my watch or anything."
Taz sighed and gave a glare. "Don't jou have a phone for jou to keep track of time?"
Rose looked down. "Yes, but I wasn't even looking at it. I completely forgot. I'm so sorry."
"Fine. Go put jour stuff down and finish getting ready. Then we will start."
"Thank you so much!" She ran over and started putting her shoes on when she heard her phone buzz. She looked up seeing that her mother was busy setting up the mats and must not have heard it. Rosa took this opportunity to look at the message.
"Have fun in training. Love ya. Hunter "
Rosa smiled brightly and was about to respond when she saw her mother over her shoulder.
"Excuse me. Didn't we have this problem with the phones ayer? Stop texting jour boyfriend and get over here."
Rosa dropped her phone in her bag, sighing and got up heading to the mat.
"Alright, now that I have jour attention, we will stretch." Taz started bending over and touching her toes, doing other stretches as well to get ready.
Rosa however was doing these, not really paying attention. All that she could do was reminisce about her lunch. Sure Hunter and herself had eaten, but really they just ended back in his room having a pretty hot make out session, which lead to going a bit further than either had expected. Soon she was staring off into space thinking about it and Taz nearly snapped.
"First jou showed up late. Now jou aren't even paying attention? Are jou fucking serious right now, hija? Jou will never succeed in the academy like this." She was now fuming and grabbed some mats, going to put them away again.
"Mom, I'm sorry! I just have a lot on my mind lately and…I'm just really stressed out."
"Jour stressed out? JOUR STRESSED OUT? I have my fucking hija wanting to train for one of the most dangerous jobs in the entire universe. She can get killed and do jou know what that would do to me? It would fucking kill me if she got hurt. And it would hurt her padre even more. I am trying to respect her decision but then again, I don't want her to be a ranger! People are brutally murdered every day from joining the Starship." She ranted, trying to calm herself a bit at the end, but still managed to have a bright red face.
Rosa stayed silent for a moment taking in what her mother had said, but started yelling right back at her. "You know what? Yes I am freaking stressed out! I know that my parents, the people who are supposed to support me through anything that I chose to do, don't like what I want to do. And them above anyone should be wanting me to be a ranger! They are in fact the best rangers in the league and they will not even give me the time of day to truly show what I want to do. Just because I dose off for a minute because I have things going on in my life means you would cancel the entire training session? Really? That's very mature of you." When she finished she felt content with herself for standing up to her mother and looked back at her to see the reaction on her face.
Taz stared at Rosa trying to absorb what she had just been saying. She sighed, still rolling her eyes a bit. "Jou know what? Jour father and I do respect jour decision. We just don't want our only hija to get hurt. That does not make us soft. It just shows that we care about jou. Yes we are going hard on jou, but if you are going to become a ranger, we want jou to be the best one that the league has ever seen."
Rosa smiled slightly and Taz was slightly surprised as she felt her daughter's arms getting wrapped around her in a hug. Taz hugged back too and placed a kiss on the teenagers cheek, not being able to reach her forehead.
"Okay enough of dis soft stuff, let's get back to some training." Taz smiled as the two ladies got on the mats and started fighting. Like Up, Taz was surprised at how well her daughter was able to hit and concentrate. She nearly got Taz down on several occasions. For once during this time period, Taz did feel confident about possibly letting her daughter join the Starship Rangers.
Hope you all liked this chapter. Any suggestions you may have, send them my way! And don't worry, Up will be back in the next chapter!
