Chapter 5 - Training? Piece of cake (yeah right(part 1)
I woke up to find Teddy standing over me. He had a ridiculous smirk on his face. I realized what he was staring at and covered myself with my blanket. His smirk disappear and a smile appeared. "I was wondering when you would realize that." I laughed. "GET OUT OF MY TENT! I'm going to change." Teddy's smile fell and a pout came. "Let me stay just for a little while..." I threw my pillow at him. "Out." He smiled as the pillow missed and left the tent. I grabbed my clothes and looked at my watch. Five in the morning. What's up with that? I walked out to see Keepers, Tamers all around the campsite. Johanna, Zob , Terrence and Teddy came towards. Teddy gave me a bowl of porridge which I ate with zest. "It's time for your training to start." My smile fell. Training right. Just what I need. To make a fool of myself in front of Teddy. I put my bowl down and left the camp with Johanna, Zob and Terrence, Teddy following close behind.
We reached a field where Zick , Elena , and Lay were standing there. I gulped and ran to the field. Johanna looked serious. "First, we practice agility. Zob, get the tennis balls." I, who was staring at Teddy's cute leather jacket, was brought back to Earth with a "Huh?". Johanna shook her head. " We are going to throw these tennis balls at you. All you have to do is to avoid them." I smiled. I was on the cheerleading team. This would be a piece of cake. "Let's do this." I said, with confidence in my voice. Johanna , Zob, and Terrence grabbed some balls and began throwing them. I began to jump and spin in the air showing the balls who's boss. Johanna nodded approvingly. "You're doing well." I was getting to cocky. Then I caught sight of Teddy, his hair blowing in the wind in this really cute fashion. I got lost in some daydreams and then felt a really painful ache on my leg. I fell to the ground with a bone breaking crush. Johanna stiffled laughs and walked towards me. "Do you know why I asked Teddy to stand at that spot where his hair will blow?" I shook my head. "It was to test your focus. And you failed. Get up." Teddy helped me stand. "Sorry girl. Zob paid me ten bucks to do that." I laughed and resumed stance and tried again.

Next we'll try the tone. Try it on Bombo here." I saw a very cuddly monster walking up to me holding a ... pair of shoes? I scratched my head but resumed my stance. Then I paused. Bombo was holding a pair of blue nike shoes. Blue Nike shoes. Well at least they didn't have a cotton butterfly sewn on the ... right shoe. They were my shoes!! Bombo lifted them up and placed them in his mouth. I panicked. "My best shoes!! Give them back." I said with a funny, high squeaky voice coming out of my mouth, the tone I think . Bombo shook his head and ran off. Time to resume plan B...
(later)
"You're not suppose to tackle the monster by the stomach and choke him till he gives you back whatever you want!!" Terrence was standing over me with a face that just screams 'Amateur.' I hung my head. "I'm sorry. I didn't know. Guess my tone isn't as strong as I thought it was." Terrence looked at the sky. The sun was setting. Zick and Elena had to stop Bombo from crying. He shook his head. "Training will resume tomorrow."
