Summary: Just a friendly race between friends...a race that Lloyd learns never to compete with Sheena in.

Disclaimer: The characters used in this story belong to NAMCO Bandai. The only thing that I own is this written story and the idea is based off of SKYWOLF666's work Sheloyd 50 sentence fanfiction "Little Captured Moments." I've got her permission to use material from that fanfiction so she deserves it. Enjoy!


Race to the Finish Line

"Hey! Come on, Sheena! No fair! You're way ahead of me!"

"Hey it's a race, Lloyd! Not my fault that you haven't been trained for speed like I have!"

The brunette could only continue onward as he keeps pushing himself to catch up with his female companion. Both he and the ninja continued to sprint forward as they ran towards the end of the forest path. Lloyd was determined to beat Sheena on this contest but his body wasn't built for speed and agility as the young female's.

"Mustn't give up! Just push a little more and I could catch up! No way I'm going to lose this one!"

That was all that Lloyd could think of right as he pushed himself more to catch up to the summoner. However right as he was about to even reach Sheena, he saw her stopping as she leapt playfully like a child. The dual swordsman collapsed on his back in exhaustion as he saw Sheena looking down on him with childish smile on her features.

"Heh, nice try, Lloyd. Do you really think that you could beat me by just running hard like that? Better luck next time. Heh, heh, heh."

Lloyd could only moan in response to the female shinobi's words as he took deep breaths to get air back to his lungs. His legs sore from the exercise they endured. Only one thing went through the red clothed teen's mind

, "Ugh, this is the very last time that I challenge Sheena to a race. Especially when it involves a bet with buying her something in the next town. Sheesh!"

A/N: Sorry that it's short guys. It's something that I wanted to work on for SKYWOLF666 since reading her works. I've really got to thank her for sticking with me despite being busy with her life and all. Don't worry, for this would hopefully reach her to let her know that I'm with her one hundred percent on what she's going to do with her life.

I would also like to thank NUTCASE for his supports as well as GANTZ. It was them that I was able to get off my butt and do this. Anyways, thank you all for reading and reviewing my fics here and I hope that you all would continue giving me more inspiration to do more. It's my fuel. LAters!
