Jodie POV

Oh my freackin goodness I'm going to be a ninja! And maybe have one more friend other than Aki not that I wanted another friend before but Lupe seems like someone who I could be friends with and talk to. I only ever felt like I could talk to Aki before so this should be interesting. After we were a short distance from my favourite falcon Lupe turned and faced me.

"Ok Jodie I thought hard over all the styles of martial arts I know and I've come up with two that would be good for your height and size. You are extremely tiny but you can use that as a weapon because when you're small your opponents will almost always under estimate you. When I am done training you should be able to take out an opponent of any size. Are you ready?" I nodded excitedly.

"Ok so the names of the two styles of fighting are Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Aikido. I will begin by teaching you Aikido first and we will get into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu once you have the basics of Aikido. The reason for this is I don't know how strong you are yet and Aikido is mainly self-defence. Don't think it's easy though, it will take a while to get the hang of it trust me. Alright so Aikido is all about using your enemies' size against them, being able to flip them and defend yourself no matter how big they are. Aikido will also teach you how to fall without causing any damage to you." she said. "Today we are only going to go through the basics of the basics and how to properly stretch before each lesson." I nodded and we began stretching.

Apparently I can't stretch. It took 20 minutes to do three stretches. 20. Freaking. Minutes. How is that even possible! After that we got into the how to fall. Because it is a huge part of Aikido we are apparently going to be doing this for the next few weeks. Lupe was right this isn't easy. But even though it wasn't easy I was still having fun!

After an hour Jodie's wristwatch started beeping and we did another stretch to cool down. I was drenched in sweat but Lupe only seemed a bit tired. We walked over to Aki. I hope she can change back alright.

"So how you doing Aki? I am pooped!" I asked. She does this weird chirp screech thing. Oh right bird form. "Oh right! Sorry I forgot." She rolls her head. I guess that's the equivalent to rolling her eyes.

"Ok I think it's time to teach you how to change back now." Lupe says with an odd smile on her face. Oh my gosh I can't help it..

"IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!" I yell haha that phrase can be used in a real life situation!

"Really?" Lupe sighs.

"Yes" I giggle. Lupe rolls her eyes and turns to Aki.


Ok so this is really short I know but I thought I needed to update so anyway please tell me what you think it really helps. I will try and update soon! R&R!
