I woke up in a cold sweat from a nightmare I had. In my sleep I imagined I had awoken to find that sensei's hair was up and that danger was afoot. After sprinting through the dojo I found him meditating at a waterfall with his hair down. All is well, I think to myself as I walk back to start my morning workout.

After all the morning chores are done I join my friends for lunch at China King to discuss how great and powerful sensei is. "Isn't he just the greatest?" , Spenca asked me with a mouth full of ramen. "The greatest times 2!", Genos added in as he munched on a fortune cookie. After we ate we started to walk back to the dojo so we could train for the upcoming tournament. As we walked Spenca nudged me on the shoulder, "What about you Tresan? How great do you think sensei is?" I look up into the sky and think of my father and a frown grows on my face, but then I imagine sensei's face in the clouds and I start to smile. "I think he's the greatest times 5!", I say with joy.
