. Your Turn 8

The team lounged and recovered for the next few days before beginning to train extra hard. Especially Jayden and Emily. The two worked together on most everything, trying to learn their way to battle Decker.

"We should start out from basic trust exercises," Mentor Ji said, "just to be on the we're-winning-because-no-is-not-an-answer."

The two agreed. As they did the fall-back-and-I'll-catch-you routine, Emily laughed as Jayden made a face when he caught her. A very funny face. The two laughed together as Emily chased after him with a sword playfully.

As it got late, Wesley muttered to Jayden, "You'll have to tell her someday, you know."

"I will," Jayden nodded, "but it isn't time."

"Well, all the others and myself are waiting for that time to come," Wesley grinned to his friend.

The two watched as Emily practiced her defense with Mia. She was doing an amazing, but she held Mia at a standstill as she motioned for Jayden to come to her.

"You don't need me," Jayden said, "you're defense."

"We're a team for Decker," Emily said, "so we have to work together as much as we can."

Grinning, he joined her in defending against Mia. The two stood back to back before they split. They both were working really well.

"You think we'll be ready?" Jayden asked Emily as they cooled down.

"I'm sure we'll be ready when it's time," Emily said, "and besides, any time with you will fulfill my destiny."
