AND: Back for your viewing pleasure. Please review. I want more reviews.

The earth began to shift beneath my feet. A large white tiger stood in front of me. I smiled, weakly. The tiger stared at me. It was unnerving.

"Hello, Drigger," I whispered. He stared at me still. "Are you mad?"

"No, I just wanted you to train her," he answered. I stared at him, slack- jawed.

"I will, if that's what you want," I told him. He nodded and disappeared in a green mist. -End dream-

I sat up in bed. Mariah was already up and dressed. I looked over at the clock and saw that it was 9:30. I smirked. Today was the day that I would begin training Mariah.

"What's with you?" she asked me, coming into the room. I looked up at her and smiled.

"Nothing, daughter of Drigger," I answered. She froze and paled. I smirked at that. "I am not a hunter like Lee. I am Dragoon's daughter." I smiled warmly at her. She backed away. "I am going to be your trainer. Your father asked me to do it." She shivered. I got up and got dressed in a black shirt with a white dragon on the front and blue jeans. My hair was tied back in a short ponytail, the only way to control it. I wore my contacts today. I knew I would be doing anything that required a lot of reading, so they were better to wear.

"Can we go now?" Mariah asked after I finished. I nodded and headed for the door, then stopped. I went back to the window and looked at the sky. I opened it and smelled the wind. I groaned and grabbed an umbrella.

"It's going to storm," I told her after her quizzical look. I grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the room. Everyone was waiting for us. Michael was the first to notice us and froze. His eyes were wandering over my figure. I pulled back slightly and blushed. Everyone else saw what he was staring at and did the same, except for the girls that is.

"Oh, stop staring!" I yelled. Judy held back a laugh. The guys all looked away. I held in my laughter. "Let's go!" They all headed out to the van/bus that was taking us to breakfast. We arrived. I sighed. Nothing ever changes.

"What will it be today?" a waitress asked. We all ordered a ton of food, guess who ate most of it. After that little episode, they were off to town. Guys just wandered around, and the girls went shopping. The guys were wise to avoid the girls.

"How about we go to the new bookstore (A/N: This is Polly's bookstore that is mentioned in her new book.)?" I asked. Everyone nodded. They thought it was a good idea. We went in and I immediately went to the front and found Polly working.

"How are you doing, Polly?" I asked

"I'm fine. Why are you here?" she whispered. I glanced at the others and motioned for Mariah to come over.

"Are the training grounds still up?" I asked. Polly glanced at Mariah and nodded.

"It will be ready tomorrow night," she answered.

"Let's go," Judy said. Everyone left. Mariah was nervous about the coming night.
