Make sure you have read chapter 13, because I changed it from my review-seeking note ;)

Nearing the end of the week and Sammie was exhausted. She felt that she still hadn't caught up from the training exercise, which felt like a distant memory, but was only four days ago.

Her fitness level had declined whilst on the streets and she was already behind in her training. Martial arts training was a blur that morning, she hadn't woken up properly. She knew that in order to protect herself, this was one of the most important things.

Mac had noticed how tired she had been getting, and decided to give her the afternoon off. Sammie decided that it would be better for her to stay awake during the day, so she would sleep that night. She had asked Bruce to meet her in the dojo to help her catch up on some training.

Bruce's POV (yeah, I know, I haven't done POVs before… let's see how I go)

"Hey Bruce, wait up!" Gabrielle called, just before Bruce was getting in the elevator. He held it open for her.

"Thanks," she smiled. "You going to the lake this afternoon? Everyone else is."

"No, I'm going to the dojo," I told her, "Sammie said she needed some extra practice so I offered to help her."

"Aaw, that's so sweet Brucey!" she said, "I think it's totally cute you like her."

What is so cute about liking her? No one ever called James "cute."

"I don't like her!" I denied, "Well, at least, not like that."

Gabrielle laughed, "Sure Bruce, sure. But you know what? I think she kind of likes you too…"

"Really!?" I said hopefully and immediately regretted it.

Way to stay cool, Bruce.

"I won't say more," she mimed zipping her lips, "My lips are sealed."

"Bye Bruce," she headed off towards the lake and I went in the direction of the dojo.

"Yeah… bye."

Still Bruce's POV

When I got to the dojo, I saw it was almost empty. The only people who were there were a class of red shirts and a few older kids.

Sammie was one of them and she was drilling a few moves that can be practised non-contact. Her hair was pulled back into a tight, low ponytail and it flipped around as she moved.

She noticed me, turned around and smiled. Such an adorable smile.

"Hey Bruce, thanks for coming"

"No problem, what do you want to work on?"

"Well, my speed is the main thing, but basically everything"

I laughed, "Everything is a lot, so why don't we just start by just trying to pin each other and we'll see where to from there."

"Sure. Ready? One, two, three. Go!"

She put her right foot forward and I automatically came around her left to take her down. I grabbed her wrist in a lock a flipped her down. I used to much force and she hit the mat hard.

"I am SO sorry." I held my hand out to help her up, "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, fine, yeah," she replied as took my hand and I helped her up. She shook the shock off a little bit. "Again?"

This time she stepped left and as I went around the opposite side, she turned and blocked my chance of a wrist lock. I looked for another place to hit, but she blocked each time. "Good defence," I told her.

Sammie's POV (kind of… I might call her Sammie instead of "I"- sorry if I do!)

"Thanks," I said and realised how much stuff I actually learned from the books. I know what kind of decisions to make on missions- well, mostly- even though my missions will be different, surely they will help. I also learned that you have to defend yourself at all times.

Now I just have to learn how to attack…

I saw Bruce was giving me an easy opportunity as his stance became weak, with both feet equal in line, rather than one behind the other. He was making his balance go off, to see if I noticed this opportunity.

I quickly my foot around his ankle and pushed him backwards from his shoulders. He fell backwards and I somehow fell down on top of him.

Did he pull me down with his foot?

"Bruce," I said, "You shouldn't go easy on me. I need to practice properly."

"Yes, I do. I might hurt you"

"I know you won't hurt me"

There was a moment of silence as I stared into Bruce's eyes. He looked worried, like he was scared he was going to hurt me. What was he so scared of?

The tense moment was interrupted by smooching noise being made from someone on the other side of the room.

I looked up to see Jake Parker making kissing faces at us.

I stood up, and gave Bruce a hand up as Jake sang, "Sammie and Bruce, sitting in a tree."

Bruce glared at him and he ran into the changing rooms to hide.

"Sorry about him," he said, "He can be a little… immature."

"Its fine," I laughed, "Want to go again?"

Bruce nodded.

"And I know you can probably think of heaps of ways to pin me right now but don't go to hard on me. But not too easy, either"

"Alright, ready?"

I have three questions to ask, and the quicker these are answered, the better my chapter will be for my readers.

Question 1- Do you want me to spend more time on training, or get to the mission faster?

Question 2- Do you want Sammie/Bruce to get together?

Question 3- What would be their name if they did? (eg- Bammie.. fail lol xD)

PLEASE REVIEW!
