Emily's phone buzzed, she rolled over and with a groan tried to find her phone. It took her a few seconds to find it. Find it she rolled back over and looked at who was texting her this early in the morning.
Joseph Spint:
Emily sat bolt up right, her eyes wide open her heart pounding against her ribs. She clicked on the message and had to read it a few times to understand what it said.
With the permission of your gaurdians, I would like to take you on as my next fighter. I see a lot of potential in you. I have a preliminary fight scheduled for the end of December. Let me know and we can start training.
Emily screamed and scrambled out of bed. Bear jumped up barking. She ripped the door open.
"MINHOOOO!"
She ran down the hall as his door flew open, he stumbled out looking confused and worried and half asleep.
"Emily? Em, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
Papa Lee came tearing into the hall, Mamaee right behind him wearing an apron.
"Emily!"
Emily was jumping up and down squealing and laughing.
"I GOT IT! I GOT IT!"
"Slow down, honey, you got what?" Mama Lee asked.
Emily threw herself into Minho's arms. Still very confused he wrapped her up anyways.
"I got a fight! Joseph Spint says he's going to train me! I got it! He's already booked a fight!"
She was still jumping in Minho's arms and yelling. She held her phone up. It took Minho a second to grab the phone and read it with his sleepy eyes. Once he did a huge smile appeared on his face, it was so big his eyes disappeared and his dimples appeared.
He pulled her tighter and now he started jumping with her.
"EEEEMMMILLLYYYYYY!!! I'm so proud of you!"
She pulled away and jumped into Papa Lee's arms. He was laughing at her.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say your a little excited."
"Nope. Not at all." She smiled, he hugged her tight with a chuckle. He patted her on the back and pulled away. "I guess you better answer him and talk to Jorge."
"Oh yeah! And Alby!"
She immediately dialed Jorge's number waiting anxiously for the phone to ring, she put it on speaker.
"Hello? Millie? Are you okay? What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong, Papi!"
"Then why the early morning call on a weekend?"
"Papi!! I got it! I got it! Joseph Spint is taking me on! He wants to train me and already booked a fight in December!"
Emily squealed still dancing around the hall. Bear was jumping around with Minho doing some kind of happy dance. Papa Lee was chuckling and shacking his head, leaning on the wall his large arms crossed.
"Millie! That's great! I knew you would get it! I'm so proud of you! Do you have any details?"
"Nope not yet! Sounded like he's gotta talk to you and Papa Lee and all that. But I can't believe he said yes!"
"I'm not. You're your father's daughter through and through my Millie girl. I'm very proud of you."
"Thanks Papi. And sorry for waking you up."
"Oh no, you didn't. I have a meeting right away."
"Meeting?" Emily's jumping and celebrating slowed down, and now a little seed of worry set in. She glanced up to see Papa Lee watching her with the same intensity as Minho does sometimes.
