It was 4:00 am when Tien woke up Lin- Lin. "Hey sleepy head wake up." Tien
said. "Wake up, wake up." But she won't wake up. "WAKE UP!" Tien screamed
at her ear.
"Can't you just give me 5 minutes?" Lin- Lin said.
"If you don't wake up I won't train you"
"Okay, okay! Geez don't get so hot headed"
They went to the kitchen. "Cook up some ham and bacon." Tien said as he gave all the ingredients she would need.
"This is not training nor am I your maid." Lin- Lin said as she puts down the food.
"First of all, I don't want you or me to train on an empty stomach. Second, I'm your master and you should follow me." So she started cooking.
"Hmmm, this taste good." Tien said.
"Thanks, I was just a child when my mother taught me how to cook. It's because when the time come I get married, my husband won't have any problem."
They went out to start training. "Okay, for your first training here." He gave her 2 buckets.
"What's this for?" Lin- Lin asked.
"Duh, you're going to get water of course."
"If I must but still don't see what part of training this is." She flew up but Tien stopped her and said, "You're not going to fly. You'll go to the river walking."
"Okay that's a total torture. It would take me hours to get back and forth."
"Are you disobeying your master?"
"No sir!" she said. "What a jerk!" she murmured.
After few hours she reached the river. "At last." She said. "What took you so long? You're slow as a snail." Tien said.
"Gee, I don't know maybe you just LET ME WALK FROM YOU HOUSE TO HERE! And besides you flew so its absolutely impossible for me catch up."
"I did not fly. Actually I just walked and it only took me few minutes."
"What are you doing here anyway? I thought you want me to get a bucket of water."
"I was just checking on you. So far it took you 2 hours to get here." Tien flew up and said, "I'll be waiting for you back home. Be quick and remember I want you walking." Tien left. Lin- Lin picked up the buckets and start pouring water on it. She went back home and took her again 2 hours. When she finally reached the house Tien was waiting outside. "It's about time you came. I'm already sweaty and I need to take a bath."
"Here, the bucket of water your highness." Lin- Lin said sarcastically. "I thought training is about increasing your strength, agility, and speed. This is not training, this is household chores."
"Okay then we battle this afternoon. If you win, we'll do it your way but if I win you have to follow my orders."
"DEAL!"
That afternoon Lin- Lin was warming up for the fight. "Are you ready to lose." She was confident.
"Let's start."
They started the fight. At first Lin- Lin was on the lead until she fell for one of Tien's illusion attacks. After an hour she fell on the ground. "I told you, you couldn't beat me. We've wasted so much time for doing a stupid thing like this. I'll carry you."
Lin- Lin refuses to quit, "This battle isn't over yet."
"Are you nuts. If we keep going like this you'll be staying in the hospital for a long time."
"I don't care. I'm going to prove to you that I right." Her face was covered with blood.
"You're wrong. The chores I gave you is already your training."
"Don't make me laugh."
"It's true. When you carried the bucket of water you were increasing your speed and strength. I'm trying my best. You won't get anything if we stick to the old way."
Lin- Lin knelt down, "Master Tien, please forgive me. I was so foolish."
"It's okay I forgive you."
After that Lin- Lin started to work hard. She obeyed Tien's orders. Each day she gets stronger and faster than ever before.
"Can't you just give me 5 minutes?" Lin- Lin said.
"If you don't wake up I won't train you"
"Okay, okay! Geez don't get so hot headed"
