WARNING: this will be very emotional.
While Maria was sitting under the tree with her brothers, she saw two rattan sticks lying beside her. She remembered when she went to Japan's place and saw two people doing karate and judo. Maria thought it would be great if she has self defense so she picked up both sticks and trained like how karate and judo works. 1 hour has passed and the two boys were still sleeping. Maria thought a name for her new self defense.
"*huff puff*...I will call this...*huff puff* ARNIS! or stick fighting!"
Maria thought it would be great if she has somebody to fight with. And so she waked up her brothers and the Spanish was done buying her clothes. Antonio was worried about what she was gonna do.
"No mi hija! You and Romano might get hurt!"
The Italian smirked.
"My Italian martial arts is better than your so-called arnis!"
"Heh! We'll see about that!"
And so the two picked up two rattan sticks. The Mexican was the referee.
"One...two... Three! Begin!"
The two started. Somebody's bone cracked. While fighting, the Italian saw an opening and hits that opening. Unfortunately, that was a trap. The filipina hit the Italians right side with her right stick and the left stick pointed on his face. The referee blowed the whistle. The filipina won the match. The Spanish and the mexican took a look at her and was deeply worried. The Italian made a complaint.
"N-no way...I lost?"
The Italian stared at the filipina. Tears were forming in his eyes.
"Why didn't you hit me in the end? Why did you made that hit in my right side soft? I'm the only one who safe but your not!"
Actually, while they were fighting in the very start, Romano hit Maria's left arm hard and her bone was cracked. Maria was wounded but Romano isn't. And now, Romano was crying for what he's done to her sister.
"Why? I'm so mean to you but you treat me like I'm someone special!"
Maria gave him a warm smile and walk towards him.
"Cause you are."
Maria gave him a kiss in the forehead and patted his head then suddenly collapsed because of her 1 hour training. They carried her back to the house. Maria woke up, she felt something warm and soft in her hand. It was Romano. Romano was there, sleeping beside her.
