Chapter 15

Lioness was deep in her thoughts that she didn't realise that she bumped into Micro Ice and Mark.

"Hey Cat." Micro Ice and Mark said

"Hey Micro Hey Mark, sorry I didn't see you there" Lioness responded.

"No problem, the guys and I are taking King, Axel, Shark and Hawk to the bowling alley. You in?"

"Thanks Micro, but I think I am going to pass for today feeling tired. Night" Lioness said and went to her room.

Micro Ice replied back wishing her goodnight went to assemble the rest of the gang to head out. He gathered everyone up and only had to get D'Jok. He knocked on the red heads door and spoke.

"Yo D'Jok, were all heading out to the bowling alley. You coming?"

"Nah Micro, I'm going to work on my shooting and then hit the sack. Hope you guys have a fun night" D'Jok replied and gave his best friend a fist bump. After Micro Ice left the room D'Jok laid on his bed and looked at the picture on top of to his bedside drawer. It was when they were celebrating winning the Galatik Cup. He couldn't help but smile and then drifted into a deep sleep

*1Hour later* everyone was still out and D'Jok woke up from his nap. After rubbing his eyes and stretching D'Jok changed into his training kit and headed down to the training pitch. As soon as he got to the pitch he saw a figure. It was Lioness and she was practising her freekicks.

"Hey, I thought you went with the others?" D'Jok shouted and walked towards her.

"Nah I called it a day. I thought you went with them?" Lioness asked.

"Nah I wanted to work on my shooting" D'Jok replied and got the ball from the net and continued "Nice freekick by the way"

"Thank you." Lioness replied and continued " need help I can try and put you off to make it harder."

"That will be great actually, thanks Lioness" D'Jok tried to dribble pass Lioness but he couldn't get rid of her. She kept tackling him and made it difficult for him to get a clean shot. Finally the ball went out of play and D'Jok sat down to catch his breathe.

"Okay, that was harder than I expected." D'Jok panted to her.

"Hey, I could say the same thing." She replied and got her water bottle and to a drink. She throw her bottle to him. " Here" she said and he took a sip and gave her bottle back.

"Thanks, Aarch told us you could use the breathe when you were little." D'Jok replied and walked closer to Lioness.

"Uncle Aarch has said so much about me hasn't he?" Lioness replied with a smirk.

"Wait Aarch is your uncle?" D'Jok asked with a confused look on his face.

"Oh no, I just always called him uncle when I was little, you know as a sign of respect"

D'Jok nodded when he understood what she meant. She continued.

"I can still use the breathe, just sometimes I just don't want to over rely on it just use it when I need too".

"What about now? Just for practice?" D'Jok asked and gave her a long glance and waited for her response.

"Nope, I'm going to help you practice on your shooting. Let's go!" She replied and picked up the ball passed it to him. The continued practicing for another hour until they were both tired and headed for bed. They both wished each other goodnight and went up.
