When I finally woke up, it was nighttime, probably some time early in the morning.
"Great." I griped. "Now my sleeping pattern is off, too. Ah, oh well." I got up, and decided to walk around and get a closer look at things.
One of the things there was an obstacle course.
"Well, nobody's around…so maybe I should try it out." I smirked to myself and put my bag down.
I quickly finished the obstacle course with ease. It looked almost exactly like the one that I had worked on with Chase Young, so I knew it almost by heart. Just as I finished, I heard somebody clapping. I looked over to see a boy a little taller than me with spiky brown hair smirking at me.
"Uh…" I stammered. "Hi?"
"Hey." He responded. "Just curious, what the heck are you doing here, and who the heck are you?"
"Okay, um…can I answer question number two first?" I somehow managed to get something out.
"Sure, whatever." The boy responded.
"Okay, um, my name is Abbi, and I…uh…have nowhere to go. I fell asleep on the stairs of the building earlier, and just woke up." I continued.
"Those skills were pretty sweet for just waking up. I'm Raimundo."
"Nice to meet you, and thanks."
"How did you find the temple anyway?"
"Well, I was wandering around, looking for somewhere to stay, but then I smelled soup. REALLY good soup. It just happened to be coming from here!"
Raimundo laughed. "You must have a REALLY strong sense of smell then!"
"I guess I do!" I laughed along with him.
"Well come on inside. The others are probably up by now, and with those skills, you could really help us!"
"You guys get up THIS early?!"
"It's six in the morning. We HAVE TO get up this early."
"Wow."
"Yea I know. I don't like that either."
"I didn't think so."
Raimundo walked me inside where I saw four other people. One was VERY short, and wore a red robe, another was VERY tall and ad on a cowboy hat, another was a little shorter than me and had black pigtails, and the other one looked old.
"Who is this, Raimundo?" the old one asked.
"This is Abbi. I found her outside. She's got mad awesome skills on that obstacle course out there, even at six am! I figured she might be able to help us." Raimundo replied.
"Oh really?" the old one questioned. "Let me see, and I'll think about having her join us."
Everybody headed outside. I stood at the beginning of the obstacle course, waiting for Raimundo to tell me when to start.
"Okay Abbi! Show us what you got! Ready, go!" Raimundo shouted.
I got a jump start, and ran, leaped, dodged, and flipped my way through the rest of the maze, landing gracefully on two feet on the end. It was too easy! I smiled at the sight of some shocked faces that met me at the end.
"Amazing!" the short one marveled. "How did you do that so quickly? It took even me weeks to get that right!"
I laughed. "Just, practice, that's all."
"Hmm…" the old one said. "You may join us on the next mission, and if you do well, you may stay."
"Oh thank you so much!" I squealed. "I promise, I won't let you down!"
