Amerante: YAAAAY! Our fifth chapter!! I'm soo excited! Who else is excited? Of course you are!! Ok, I'll stop...NO I WON'T!! HEE HEE!
G-ma: (shrieking) UP! UP! And your friend was complaining about HER student being the lazy-one...UP!!
K: (mumbles half asleep) Stupid alarm clock is making my eardrums bleed.
T: Um, Kara, that's not your alarm clock...
K: (Mumbles) Why...have alarm clock...vacation...
G-ma: GET UP! YOU'RE WASTING TRAINING TIME!!!!!!!
K: (Finally wakes up) Oh, hi G-ma, what are you doing in my room?
G-ma: WAKING YOU UP!!!! LET'S GO!!!!
(Kara groggily looks at the clock and sees that it is 4:00 AM) K: But G-ma (protesting) it's FOUR AM!
G-ma: Good, more training time! Let's go!
(Kara stares at her G-ma, she was worried about training before, but now dread was filling her heart)
G-ma: Come on!!! I've been waiting thirteen years to do this! I won't wait another minute!!
(Kara gulps) Ok G-ma, just let me get dressed... I'm still in pjs...
G-ma: fine! You have 10 minutes! That's it! (Storms out)
K: (Kara stares after her G-ma, bug-eyed) Oook... G-ma has never been this... this....
T: Pumped up?
(Kara opens her mouth to answer yes, but then remembers that she is ignoring Tori, and shuts it. She goes and gets some clothes on)
T: If that's the case, we should probably hurry. And it's no use ignoring me, because I'm NOT leaving.
K: (Ignore ignore ignore. Kara walks out to find her G-ma)
T: (Calls after her) Fine! I can see you're not a morning person. (Mutters) Nami was that way too... (Tori follows)
K: G-MA?
G-ma: S'ABOUT TIME!! SEVEN LAPS, ALL THE WAY AROUND. GO!
K: All the way around where? The block?
G-ma: YES! GO! GO! GO!
K: OK! OK! OK! (Shakes head) Jeesh.... (Starts to jog)
G-ma: Too slow! Start again!
K: WHAT?!
G-ma: You heard me!
K: (Mumbles) Fine. (Goes back, and starts to jog a little faster)
G-ma: WHY ARE YOU JOGGING??!!! RUN, FOR GOSH SAKES! START OVER!
K: I CAN'T RUN FOR SEVEN BLOCKS!
G-ma: YOU'D BETTER MAKE YOURSELF! GO!
K: (starts to run half heartedly. She runs a couple blocks, looks back, can't see her G-ma, so she starts to jog)
G-ma: DON'T THINK I CAN'T SEE YOOUUUUU!!!
K: (Kara ducks and looks wildly around) What the hell? (Shakes head and starts to run again)
T: She's got a couple of the ghost's from the house trailing you...
K: (looks back and sees them, then mutters) Damn ghosts...
T: Do you want me to see if I can get rid of them?
K: (ignore ignore ignore. She runs the whole way, though haggardly, she comes back to the house to her waiting G-ma gasping and breathing heavily)
G-ma: Right, that took long enough. And you failed that part anyways.
K: (Gasp) Huh? (Gasp)
G-ma: I told you, I'm not going soft on you. But that exercise should've been one of the easiest. You were supposed to accept your ghost's help and walk, or jog, for the parts I couldn't see.
K: (Mutter mutter mutter)
G-ma: Don't mutter! Unless you want me to put speech lessons on your things to do today.
(Kara wonders if speech lessons would take place of other more "physical lessons")
K: Fine. (Crosses arms and looks at G-ma waiting)
G-ma: Ok, the next thing your going to do is connect with your ghost. Just sit in the most peaceful place you can find and listen to nature and you ghost. Go!
K: Uh... ok? (Kara goes over by a tree, climbs up it, and sits down on one of the branches. She closes her eyes, and wonders what she is supposed to do)
T: So, exhausted yet?
(Kara thinks "ignore ignore ignore")
T: Look I already told you. I'm not going to Nami, give it up!
K: (thinking) Wha?! OH she talked in my mind, I supposed that means she can hear what I'm thinking, THAT'S NOT FAIR!! (Starts muttering in her head)
T: It's perfectly fair! You can read my mind too, you're just too busy ignoring me to do it!
K: Hm... (Thinks of a black wall...just a black wall...)
T: What a lovely black wall, but you're supposed to be talking to me.
K: (Annoyed, but stubborn)
T: You're not allowed anywhere until you've made a connection with your ghost.
K: (Thinks) I thought that was what it was.
T: What was?
K: (Thinks of a black wall again, then gets on another train of thought, and starts to picture stargazing)
T: (Thinks) You're quite stubborn. Fine, I'm leaving. Think about your actions. But you'd better be ready to talk when I get back.
K: (Thoughts go back to what she is doing) Huh? My actions? I mean! Oh humph! (Mutter)
T: (Thinks) I mean your actions, as in ignoring me, you understand?
K: (Thinks) Ignore Ignore Ignore, oh wait she can hear that! DAMN I DON'T LIKE PEOPLE IN MY HEAD!
T: (Thinks) Fine, I'll go (Leaves)
K: (Feels kind of sad, but shakes her head. A few moments pass)
G-ma: WHAT'S THIS!!!???
K: (Surprised Kara falls out of the tree) GYAH! (Thud) OWW!!
G-ma: (G-ma grabs her ear)YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE CONNECTING WITH YOUR GHOST!! HOW CAN YOU DO THAT IF SHE'S NOT EVEN HERE!!???!!
K: Owowowowow! I'm sorry!
G-ma: NOT SORRY ENOUGH! I TOLD YOU I'M NOT GOING SOFT! THIS ISN'T SLACKER TIME!!! RUN AROUND THE WHOLE TOWN. NOW! AND THIS TIME HELP WON'T BE OFFERED!!!
K: I CAN'T RUN AROUND THE WHOLE FRICKEN TOWN!!
G-ma: WELL YOU'D BETTER FIGURE OUT HOW THEN!! NOW GO!!
K: AND WHAT IF I SAY NO?!
G-ma: (Menacingly poisonous) Do you really want to know???
K: (Stares stubbornly at her and nods)
G-ma: Fine, then...I hope you don't like eating, though...
K: (Stares openmouthed at her G-ma) You wouldn't!
G-ma: Oh yes I would! Now get your rear in gear!
K: That would kill me!! You would have a ghost for a granddaughter!!
G-ma: Fine! At least I know how to DEAL with ghosts and am a real shaman.
K: (Slightly shocked she stands up, and starts to run, grumbling and muttering all the way)
G-ma: That's right! KEEP RUNNING!!!!
(Kara runs for what seems like forever. She is running down a street, when she trips on a crack on the sidewalk, falls, and just lays there. Groan) I (Gasp) can't (Gasp) do (Gasp) more (Gasp) need (Gasp gasp) water.... (Then she passes out, right in front of a restaurant)
Amerante: dun, dun, duuunnnn...
