Chapter 33:
Training Session

...

It took Luigi about twenty minutes before he was able to find the training area. Wondering inside, he found the weight room where he could hear the sound of weights being moved. Stepping inside, he spots Roy by the far left side, working with some dumbells.

"Hello Roy," He greeted.

Roy looked up and smirked. "Hey there, Kasanova, fo' a minute there I thought you bail on me."

"Sorry, I'm late. I got a bit lost." Luigi replies.

"Eh, at least yer here" Roy puts the dumbells down and stood up to stand in front of him. "So where's my sista, anyways? I figure she might come wit' ya."

"I manage to convince her to go out with her friends. She'll back in time for dinner."

Roy raised an eyebrow. "Friends? Don't tell me, she's still hangin' out wit' dat Pompey chick; I keep tell her she's bad news."

Luigi shook his head. "No, she doesn't talk to Pompey anymore. She's hanging out with her other friends; Koren, Kohana, and Goombaline. She told me they came by and apologizes weeks ago. None of them had talk or seen Pompey since the club party."

"Oh yeah, I think I remember seein' them da other day." Roy recalled. "Well, since Wendy's not here ta supervise us, den I won't have ta go easy on ya."

"Unfortunately..."

Roy patted him roughly on the back and headed over to the center of the room. "Come on Romeo; let's get dis little ride along started."

Luigi rubs his back and follows him. The 'talk' he and Roy had last night had been about a deal they made. Luigi was going to spend some time with Roy as the purple koopa test his worth to Wendy. If he passes Roy's expectations, then he'll gain his respect which will favor well in getting Bowser's approval.

Roy stopped at the warm-up mats and turn to face Luigi. "Okay, Kasanova," He started. "I already know yer smart and I'll admit dat's fine and all. But when it comes ta fightin', I prefer brawns over brains any day. And when it comes to my sista, yer goin' ta need more than jus' a big head"

Luigi nodded understandable. Roy looks him over. "Hmm, can't say that yer a total wimp; you actually got some muscles workin' fo' ya." He crosses his arms. "O' course, havin' muscles and knowin' how ta use them is a total different story; but before we get started, we have ta get some warm-up exercises out o' da way. Da last thing I want ta hear is you complainin' 'bout a leg cramp or somethin'."

Luigi and Roy spent about 10 minutes with working on some basic warm ups exercises. They spent another 10 minutes with some strength training exercises. Once their muscles were stretched out, they moved on to the gym equipments.

"Now, let's see if you spend as much time workin' out as you do in da kitchen."

The first one up was the pull up stations. Roy grabs onto the bar and started performing some impressive chin ups. In more or less of a minute, he had done 25 pull ups in total. He jumped down and made room for Luigi.

"Alright, 'Nova," he said "Yer turn; here I'll time you,"

Luigi steps in and grabs the bar line. Roy got a stop watch and signaled him to start.

"Now,"

Luigi's first pull up was sluggish and weak. His second one wasn't any better. By his fifth one he was improving. When the minute passed, he had done a total of 15 pulls up.

"Hmm, not bad I guess," Roy commented. "It's five more den da average koopa can do."

Luigi let go of the bar and landed on the ground with a small thump.

"Okay, next is da bench press,"

Roy walked over to where the benches were stationed and gestured Luigi over. The benches were specially designed for koopas so there wouldn't be any problems with the shell. The green koopa lay flat on the bench and place his arms straight out from either side of him. He began with just the bar weight first as a stretch before Roy could rack the bars and add some weights on them.

"Alright 'Nova, we'll goin' ta see jus' how stron' you really are. I'll be yur spotta,"

Luigi first set was 10 pounds, an easy starter up. His next set was 25 pounds, another easy starter in Roy's point of view. His next sets were much heavier and weighing over 50 pounds. Luigi did his best on all of them and lift with all his strength.

"Come on, 'Nova, you can do it," Roy rooted.

They were on their final bench press. Luigi had to lift the weight of over 130 pounds. It wasn't as high as Roy's personal records but definitely better than a normal person.

Luigi grunts as he tries to lift the bar weight, his arms shaking slightly. With one quick breath, he slowly lowers it down and pushes it back up. Roy assisted him on lifting the weight and set it back on the handle.

"Atta boy, dat wasn't so bad was it?"

Luigi sat up from the bench and rubbed his arms. All this weight lifting was making his arms sore.

"I think dis is a good time fo' a break," Roy announced.

Luigi nodded and followed Roy to the break room. Once there, Roy opens the fridge and tosses a bottle of water. Luigi catch it and thanks him.

"Don't thank me yet, we were only gettin' started."

"Of course," Luigi sighed. He knew this wasn't going to be easy.

"What don't tell me yer tired already?" Roy said. "Come on, we barely scratch dat surface."

Luigi stood up straight, showing no signs of fatigue or weariness. Whatever Roy was going to throw at him, he was going to take it.

"Who said I was tired? I'll keep going all day if I have to."

Roy smirked. Clearly the koopa was asking him to do his worst. The only question was… will he be able to handle it?

"We'll see 'bout dat."

~XXXX~

After hours of training long and hard, dinner time was right around the corner and Roy's training session was coming to an end. Luigi's whole body was sore but he felt good at what he accomplished today. But before he could retire for the day, he had to finish up this leg press.

Like always they started off easy, before adding up the weights. Roy was surprise. The green koopa had surpassed his record and was still climbing. It wasn't until they had nearly outstrip Bowser's own record that they were finally able to call it quits.

"Damn 'Nova, those are some strong legs you got there." Roy commented.

"Thanks," Luigi replies. "I tend to use them a lot."

"No kiddin'," He took a glance at the clock on the wall; dinner was approaching soon. "I guess dat's enough fo' today. I gotta admit Kasanova, you make a great work out partner."

"Thanks," said Luigi "You make a great trainer, by the way."

Roy smirked. "Thanks, Smelly"

"Smelly?"

Luigi frowned. He lifted his arm up and sniffed. He grimaces at the smell of his stinky armpit. Roy laughs and wraps his arm around his shoulders as they headed outside the training area.

"Come on, Stinky, we both could use a shower."

...

...

After spending the day with Roy and going through his training session successfully, Luigi tiredly walked back to Wendy's room to take a nice long shower. His muscles were aching and he was half tempted to fall into bed and sleep for the rest of the day. Once he entered the room, he was greeted by his girlfriend who just got back from spending the day with her friends.

"Hey there, Sweetie, I missed you while I was away."

Luigi smiled. "Likewise,"

He walked over and plants a light kiss on her lips. Wendy lean forwards and returned the kiss, her hands subconsciously holding onto his arms. After they part, Wendy rubbed his arms, taking note at how tense he feels.

"Hm, you're kind of tense, have you been working out?"

Luigi nodded. "Yeah, Roy and I really hit it off in the gym today."

"Oh, that explains why you're all smelly," she said.

"Right; I'm going to take a shower before dinner."

"Okay, do you want me to join you?"

Luigi pause from his walk to the bathroom and turn to her, his face turning red. Wendy laughs.

"Kidding! I was only kidding...mostly," She mumbled the last part softly.

Luigi laugh nervously and continue on to the bathroom. After a nice long shower to help soothe his arching muscles, Luigi walked out of the bathroom with a satisfied sigh and a towel wrapped around his neck. Wendy looked up from her magazine and smirk, enjoying the look of his frame. Luigi walked over to the bed and lay next to her, taking some time to relax before dinner starts. Wendy tossed her magazine on the night stand and snuggled into him. Luigi wraps an arm around her and let out a tired sigh.

"Why don't you take a nap?" Wendy suggested. "I'll wake you up when dinner's ready."

Luigi nodded and close his eyes. Within five minutes, he was fast asleep. Wendy smiled and rests her head on his chest, silently listening to the rhythm of his heart beat. After a while, she too fell asleep beside him.
