Lights Down Low

Training Montage

"Often your tasks will be many,

And more than you think you can do.

Often the road will be rugged

And the hills insurmountable, too.

But always remember, the hills ahead

Are never as steep as they seem,

And with Faith in your heart start upward

And climb 'Til you reach your dream.

For nothing in life that is worthy

Is never too hard to achieve

If you have the courage to try it

And you have the Faith to believe.

For Faith is a force that is greater

Than knowledge or power or skill

And many defeats turn to triumph

If you trust in God's wisdom and will.

For Faith is a mover of mountains.

There's nothing that God cannot do,

So start out today with Faith in your heart

And "Climb 'Til Your Dream Comes True" !"

"Oh my gosh, these must be from Heaven!" Ino groaned, drooling as she shoved another Namagashi into her mouth.

"Not Heaven," Hinata responded in her soft voice, "Just the store."

Ino waved her response off, eating another. Asami rolled her eyes with a laugh, stealing the tray away before Ino ate them all.

"Sooo, how is your final year of the Academy going?" Asami asked with a wide grin.

Hinata simply sighed while Ino whined loudly, throwing her head back dramatically and accidentally banging her head on the wall. Asami snorted.

It had been a few months since Asami had graduated, and all of her friends were officially in their last year of the Academy.

Apparently it had not been going well.

"Your stupid brothers are idiots." Ino said simply, making Hinata swat at her arm.

Asami noted this action with pride. It had taken a long time for Hinata to come out of her shell, and Asami was happy that she was more comfortable with them. She still struggled with others, though.

"I know this," Asami told Ino, "What'd they do this time?"

Ino sighed, dramatically throwing her head back. "They're acting out some stupid rivalry. Like they hate each other. And most of the idiots in our class believe them!" Ino began to rant about the annoyance of the two adopted Himura's, going on a long tirade about how this plan is destined to fail.
