Mason had taken his daughter down to the local gym for the day as they were going to do what the Rhodes did best,
Sort their differences out in the ring,
Meaning that Mason was basically going to become a punching bag for Lillian as he didn't want to hurt her.
"What are we doing here?" Lillian asked as she placed her duffle bag on the ground,
"We are doing something I think you are going to love." Mason climbed into the ring before looking back at his daughter with a grin.
"And that is?" The younger Rhodes asked realising that the gym was empty,
"Fight it out." The businessman smirked seeing the grin on his daughter's face,
"Oh, I'm down for that." The blonde sent her father smirk as she looked around to see that it was the gym that he used to bring her and the boys to whenever they fought,
He really encouraged getting his children to fight it out.
"Come on in then," Mason smiled as he watched the girl eagerly walk into the ring.
"Don't be going easy on me now." He warned the girl as she nodded,
"Oh, I wouldn't dare." The dancer shot back as she grabbed the boxing gloves from the ground.
It had been about thirty minutes of Lillian just punching her father and she was getting annoyed.
"Fight back," Lillian yelled as she sent a harsh punch to the man's ribs.
"Come on, hit me!" She added as she hit the gloves on his chest,
"What are you doing?" Mason coughed as he watched the girl stop,
"If you aren't going to fight me then I won't hit you anymore." The dancer spoke in a duh tone as walked out of the ring,
"And besides I've done enough damage for one day." She added with a smirk as she picked up her duffle bag and slid it onto her shoulder.
"Lillian," Mason slipped out of the ring as the girl turned to him,
"Yeah?" Lillian asked as she clutched the strap of her bag,
"I had fun today, we should do this again." He offered as the girl nodded,
She had fun too,
Even if it was because she was able to get a lot of anger out that was all towards her father.
"I'd like that, I'll give you a call sometime." Lillian was being genuine as she was actually looking forward to seeing him again,
She just assumed that it was because of using her father as a punching bag rather soothing.
"I look forward to hearing it." Mason nodded as he watched his daughter walk out of the gym.

"So you're telling me that he didn't try to bribe you once?" Lucas asked as the Rhodes siblings had one of their weekly FaceTime calls,
"Didn't even mention cash once!" Lillian was astonished that her father was able to make the achievement.
"It was honestly a nice afternoon." Was a phrase that Lillian never thought she would say when it came to her father.
"I find that hard to believe." The older boy was rightfully sceptical,
Their father was Mason Rhodes after all.
"You were the one who told me to give him a shot," the dancer let out a laugh as her brother scoffed,
"Because we thought he was going to be him!" The boy shot back refusing to take the blame for anything.
"He may have planned something fun for you two to do." The blonde pointed out and she wasn't wrong,
Both outings for the kids had been written off as surprises.
"You never know." Lucas nodded as he went into his kitchen to find himself some food.

Everyone was stood in the studio as some students were starting to have enough of Mr Costa,
"You're over pushing her," Oren groaned as the class went silent knowing that it was the wrong move to try and call him out.
"I think I would know the extent to which I can push my students." Mr Costa spoke in a snarky tone which annoyed all of the students,
"You're fine right Whitlaw?" He called out not turning around to face Bette,
"Yes Sir," unlike most students Bette had ties to him that none of her classmates had yet he still took her side over everyone else's.
"So I suggest that you keep your mouth shut until I ask you to talk." The Italian warned as Lillian decided she had enough.
"You know what, that's it," Lillian spoke up as she felt that she held her tongue for too long.
"I get that you're angry I really do." There was a part of the Rhodes girl that got worried when he walked up to her but she continued nevertheless.
"And I don't blame you because you've just had your ass handed to you by every critic in Chi-" she was cut off as he through his stress ball at the mirror barely missing her.
"I don't care what they say," Mr Costa spat as he looked around at all of the students
"I don't give you my respect until you earn it, that's why I'm acting like this." He explained as he grabbed his back.
"Practice is over." Walking out the older man turned around to say one final thing.
"And one more thing, next time I won't miss Rhodes." He warned as Lillian felt herself gulp,
"That better be an empty threat." She thought to herself as she watched him walk out of the room.
