Violet replied with, "The only clothes I brought with me, are the ones I'm wearing.."
Charlie finished her with, "And the ones your wearing, are starting to smell. Allright," He stopped to force himself to get up. "Let's see what we got." He walked over to the steamer trunk and said, "Why are you up so early anyway?"
Violet reponded with "Had a nightmare, and couldn't get back to sleep, so I might as well get my daily workout done." As she finished speaking, Charlie handed her his spare latex work uniform. She took is, and quickly kissed Charlie on the cheek. She then said "Thank you." then left back to her room, but as much as Charlie tried, he couldn't get back to sleep either with both the sun out, and the "HYYAH!" sounds Violet was making from outside.
He picked a tasty mushroom for breakfast. Charlie said to Violet, "So you going to tell me about your nightmare?"
Violet stopped practicing kicks, and started doing pushups and said, "Well, I did dissappear from my room. I planned to call my mother once we got to Africa, I worry about her worrying about me. In my dream, I was my mother, and my life was filled with despair about it. I miss her, Charlie. She wasn't the perfect mother, but she tried her best."
Charlie took this in for a few seconds, then yelled out, "Darn it, no you got me worried about my family."
Violet gritted her teeth and said. "Sorryy!"
Violet then moved to where she had several boards lying across rocks, and with one swift chop from her hands, precedded to break the boards in half. After several repetitions of that she only had one board left. She looked at it for a second then said, "Come here." before she laid it across the rocks.
Charlie understood her intention, and said, "No way, I don't know how to do that!"
Violet smirked and said, "Well, you only really fail at being able to do something if you don't try. My gymnastics coach told all of my team that constantly."
Charlie walked up and before he even got to the front of the board, Violet said in what Charlie figured was another imitation of her coach, "GET THAT SORROWFUL LOOK OFF YOUR FACE! YOU NEED CONFIDENCE TO DO THIS!"
Charlie arrived at the board, and Violet said, "Put your hand up like this. This is to maximize the inertial flow of your hand flying."
As soon as he got it, up Violet didn't have time to say "NO WAIT!" before his hand started flying down and hitting the board, hard!
Charlie cried out in pain, and Violet said, "You scream like a baby. The problem with that is you were holding back. You knew that pain was coming. In order to do this you have to be fearless."
"This from a girl whose afraid of a certain chewing gum."
"HEY! I'm not afraid. I just want to avoid the horrible memories the gum brings to me. Now try it again."
It was about fifteen times, and thirteen of these times, Violet took it on herself to manually adjust Charlies arms, but he eventually broke the board. At the end, Violet said, "End of Lesson. Next time, let's try out your stance." As Charlie walked inside for a bath, Violet whispered to herself, "And you've been distracted from worrying about your family. Now if only someone would do that for me."
