"Do it once more." Master told the girls as they had just finished their training.
"What?! But we've already done this so many times!" Xiaoyu yelled.
Nikki sat down on the grass, catching her breath, but Georgia stood still, breathing heavily.
Master said, "This training will be your homework. I expect that tomorrow all three of you will master it." He then walked away leaving the girls who were still trying to catch their breath.
"Ugh! Master is so strict!" Xiaoyu said, stomping her foot on the ground. Nikki and Georgia didn't speak.
Xiaoyu grabbed her sword and said, "C'mon! Let's go up to Black mountain."
"But Xiaoyu, we're not supposed to be there unless an emergency or special event occurs." Nikki said, standing up.
"Nikki's right." Georgia agreed.
Xiaoyu started to give Georgia a death stare, basically giving Georgia a hint that she was wrong. Georgia didn't care and stared back. Now in your opinion, who would win a death stare contest? Xiaoyu or Georgia? Either way, Georgia always wins in those types of situations, so Xiaoyu stepped back.
After a long moment of silence, a flute was heard in the distance. Nikki pointed towards the sound and they all saw Aloe. Aloe noticed them and came towards them. "Hey girls! How's it going?" She asked, having her big smile on.
"We're doing ok, it's just that Master is so strict that we have to practice our training from today as homework!" Xiaoyu said, crossing her arms.
"Oh, I know what you mean by that. Don't worry, it'll be fine. After all, practice makes perfect." Xiaoyu nodded which caused a tiny smile to appear on her face.
Aloe looked out towards the sky and said, "Hey, do you girls wanna go on an adventure?"
Xiaoyu's smile grew wide as she clapped her hands saying, "Yes!" Nikki didn't hesitate to nod.
Georgia said, "Sure, I haven't done that in a long time."
Aloe smiled. "Follow me."
----------------------------------------------------------
"Uh, Aloe? Where did you go?" Nikki asked. Nobody answered.
Aloe had told them to go into the forest and learn some education about the wildlife. Aloe hadn't gone with them and stayed behind. Xiaoyu started to get worried, and so did Georgia.
"Guys, let's try to find a way out of here. It's about to get dark soon." Georgia said. Nikki and Xiaoyu nodded.
They all decided to walk back to where they had last seen Aloe, but they couldn't find her.
"What about to the left?" Nikki suggested.
They walked there but they found nothing. They walked for hours and hours but couldn't find Aloe or the exit. As they were walking another way again, Xiaoyu tripped and screamed. She had sprained her ankle. She held it with her hands and Nikki told Georgia what happened. Georgia mumbled the S word under her breath and said, "Let me find the exit myself. Nikki, stay here with Xiaoyu."
"But Georgia, what if you get lost too?"
"Well I'm sorry, but I can't keep on walking in circles. Just stay here and I'll return."
Nikki wanted to say something else, but the thought soon slipped out of her mind. Georgia walked into the foggy forest, leaving Nikki and Xiaoyu alone.
----------------------------------------------------------
Nikki saw a white figure in the distance and that's when she knew it was Master. He looked at the girls and sighed. "What are you two doing here at this hour? It's dangerous here at night."
