Jessica: I hope it hasn't been too long since the swim team. I think I'm still in pretty good shape.

Cruel Britannia Thu Feb 23, 2012 4:56 pm

Alex: You're accustomed to training.... and you seem hard-wired to learn quickly.... I have high hopes for you.

Pockets Thu Feb 23, 2012 4:57 pm

Jessica smiles.

Jessica: I'm glad you do.

Cruel Britannia Thu Feb 23, 2012 4:58 pm

Alex: So.... do you have any questions for me?

Pockets Thu Feb 23, 2012 5:00 pm

Jessica: I know I'm training for the initiation... but what exactly am I training for? Or can you still not tell me?

Cruel Britannia Thu Feb 23, 2012 5:04 pm

Alex: At the initiation...... you will select a member of our family.... and you will fight them in unarmed combat until that family member deems your courage and resolve great enough to be with Jayden.

Pockets Thu Feb 23, 2012 5:06 pm

Jessica grins.

Jessica: The damsel in distress becomes the knight in shining armor, fighting for true love! I think I might enjoy this!

Cruel Britannia Thu Feb 23, 2012 5:09 pm

Alex raises his eyebrows at Lexi, amused.

Alex: I've never heard it put like that before.... well I promise you this Jessica.... by the time I'm done with you..... you will definitely be no damsel in distress.

Pockets Thu Feb 23, 2012 5:13 pm

Alexis shrugs back, looking equally amused.

Jessica: When I'm done training, I'll be ready right then?

Cruel Britannia Thu Feb 23, 2012 5:17 pm

Alex oh yes..... I'll train you until I deem you're ready..... no matter how long it takes

Pockets Thu Feb 23, 2012 5:21 pm

Jessica: Not too long, I hope.

Cruel Britannia Thu Feb 23, 2012 5:24 pm

Alex: That my dear.... is all up to you....

He smiles.

Pockets Thu Feb 23, 2012 5:33 pm

Jessica looks thoughtful.

Jessica: I hope I can move by tomorrow.

Cruel Britannia Thu Feb 23, 2012 5:37 pm

Alex laughs.

Alex: Don't worry.... you'll sleep it off fine.....and you'll be thankful of it once you get started.

Pockets Thu Feb 23, 2012 5:53 pm

After a night of playing with the excited babies with their parents (once she can finally move), a just as excited Jessica finally calls it a night, but has trouble falling asleep.

Cruel Britannia Thu Feb 23, 2012 5:56 pm

The next morning there is a knock on Jessica's door.

Alex: Jessica? You awake?

Pockets Thu Feb 23, 2012 6:00 pm

There is a sleepy sounding non-comital answer from the other side of the door.

Jessica: ...hmmm? nnnmmm.....

Cruel Britannia Thu Feb 23, 2012 6:05 pm

Alex's voice takes a new tone.

Alex: GET YOUR LAZY ASS OUT OF BED AND MEET ME IN THE GYM IN FIVE MINUTES!

Pockets Thu Feb 23, 2012 6:13 pm

Jessica almost leaps out of bed.

Jessica: Huh? What?

Cruel Britannia Thu Feb 23, 2012 6:16 pm

Alex: YOU. GYM. 4 MINUTES 45 SECONDS.

Pockets Thu Feb 23, 2012 6:17 pm

Jessica: Right... right....

She scurries around, trying to get ready, and makes it with seconds to spare.

Cruel Britannia Thu Feb 23, 2012 6:23 pm

As Jessica arrives she sees a side of Alex she has never seen before, hair scraped back, wearing his wrestling trunks and boots, and only now does she noticed how much of an intimidating, ripped, giant of a man Alex is....

Alex: Just in time.

Pockets Thu Feb 23, 2012 6:26 pm

A little taken aback on this side of Alex, Jessica almost takes a step back.

Jessica: I guess I am not too much of a morning person....

Cruel Britannia Thu Feb 23, 2012 6:28 pm

Alex: I hope you wake up quickly..... we start with the bleep test.... ever heard of it?

Pockets Thu Feb 23, 2012 6:29 pm

Jessica: The... bleep... test? I can't say that I have.
