Lessons or Punishment?
"Tenryou! You're doing great! Take a 5 minute break to rest and have a drink and then 100 more laps! More water, more sweat!" said Coach Mountain feeling proud.
"Isn't this great Ikki?" asked Metabee.
"Oh yeah. Great." Said Ikki in a dull exhausted voice.
"You don't sound happy." Commented Metabee.
"You're a medabot. What do you have to lose by running a million laps?" asked Ikki drinking some water.
"My circuits could fry." Said Metabee.
"Mine already did." Replied Ikki to the comment.
"You never told me you were a medabot. Wait a minute! You're a humanoid! What have you done with Ikki?! Give him back you alien from Mars! You, you weirdo!" yelled Metabee.
"Metabee, you've been watching too much TV. I don't know if it's the Space channel, the Soap Opera channel, or both. But TV has gotten to your head." Said Ikki.
"Tenryou! Your five minutes are up! 100 laps and then go home and get some rest! Tomorrow we'll water some more plants. With your sweat!" shouted Coach Mountain.
"Ok Coach Mountain. What did I do to deserve this? I feel like I'm in boot camp!" complained Ikki.
"Here, I'll help you up. Let's get medabusy! Start running with me!" said Metabee looking like he was jolted with extra energy.
"I'm too tired. I ran already 900 laps!" said Ikki.
"You're supposed to run 1000 laps a day! Now, get running!" ordered Metabee.
"Why me? What did I do to deserve such a harsh punishment?" asked Ikki.
"Talking will only make you more tired." Said Metabee.
"We now have done 50 laps. Do we have to do 50 more?" asked Ikki.
"Of course!" said Metabee.
"Aren't you tired Metabee?" asked Ikki.
"I am, but, I don't complain like you do." Said Metabee.
"Why you!" yelled Ikki running at the speed of light.
"You're doing great Ikki. 10 more laps!" said Metabee.
"No new medaparts for a week!" shouted Ikki.
"What!? 5 more laps!" said Metabee.
"I'm so tired!" whined Ikki.
"You have 1 more lap! Come on, you can do it!" encouraged Metabee.
"I'm done! Finally!" said Ikki collapsing.
"Congratulations Tenryou! You ran 1000 laps. Now get home a get some rest. You earned it." Said Coach Mountain.
"I'm still alive? How can this be?" asked Ikki.
"You had me with you. Let me help you walk." Said Metabee.
"Mom, I'm home!" shouted Ikki.
"Ikki? What happened? You haven't sweat this much since your nightmare when you were 3." Said Mrs. Tenryou.
"Coach Mountain was training Metabee and I for a race. Made us do 1000 laps." Said Ikki.
"Go take an extra cold shower and then get to bed. You'll need to save energy to eat lunch in 1 hour." Said Mrs. Tenryou.
"Okay Mom." Said Ikki.
What did you think of chapter 2? Coach Mountain really made Ikki sweat! Please R/R. In a few chapters, the race will begin.
