Love and Blading

Max's POV

I had fun with Hilary last night. We mucked around, had a food and soda fight, and watched Lord of the Rings. I had no idea she was interested in it, but she is a fanatic! Anyway, she says that maybe I should start to train again today, but alone. I agree with her, because I don't think I can work with or near Tyson yet. I think he likes Hilary as well, but Hilary didn't believe me. I guess she does have a point, that he would never get her, but I'm not so sure. Oh well, I'd better go tell Kai where I'm going to train and why.

Later. Kai didn't let me go off on my own. I argued with him, Tai argued with him, and Hilary argued with him. But he wouldn't let me go. How old does he think I am, six? I am perfectly capable to look after myself, and Hilary would be there with me. Well I wasn't having any of it. I'm now in my room, lying on my bed, and refusing to train with Tyson.

Even Later. I finally reasoned with Kai. He didn't let me train alone, but split us into two groups. He sent Tyson, Rei, Tai and Kenny to one Beydish, and took me and Hilary to practise somewhere else. We went into the middle of the forest that surrounds three quarters of the outside of the park. "Now, for starters, I would like to know why you refuse to train with Tyson." "Because he started singing a really annoying song. So I told him to shut up. And then, he started again, putting in really nasty things about Hilary. So I punched him, and I promised myself I wouldn't practise near him again."

Kai stared at him, and then said, "Well, I can understand why you punched him, but we can't go on like this. We need to work as a team, and this isn't going to work if you refuse to practise within twenty feet of Tyson."

"Ok, I'll practise near him. But I don't want to practise with him. Can't I practise with Rei or something?" Kai smirked, and then replied, "Fine. We'll sort something out. But please, don't fight." He said, and then we started to practise, because Kai said he didn't want to traipse all the way back and not do any training. Apparently, I've improved.
