22. Practice


" Wow." Hunk said when Katie walked into the garage, where they usually worked, " Just wow."

" What?" Shiro said from the other side of the room and turned around, " Matt?"

Katie smiled to hide the pain in her face, " Wrong."

" Katie?" Shiro tried again and this time she grinned, 

" How do I look?"

" You look like a shorter version of Matt!" Hunk exclaimed in admiration and observed her hair, " How did you do this?"

Katie shrugged, " I just looked at an old picture of Matt and I and I just pinned my hair to different points for a day."

" I feel like you're missing something though.." Hunk said and Katie took out Matt's glasses from her pocket and put it on.

" How about now?"

Shiro marveled at how much Katie looked like Matt and Hunk just stared. They both snapped out of it when she took them off and said, " Let's start training."

Shiro stood by the door and said to Katie in a rough voice, " Let me see your I.D."

Katie took out her realistic I.D. card that Hunk had made for her and gave it to Shiro.

" So Gunderson, why do you want the position?"

Katie puffed out her chest and answered," I want to help as much as I can and find the men that went missing."

Shiro raised an eyebrow, " And do you think you will make it?"

Katie looked up into his dark eyes and grinned, " Positive Sir, as long as my abilities let me, I will prove to the Kingdom that I am useful."

Shiro looked down and smiled, " Good, you have passed the introduction part, work on obstacles and sparring next."

Katie nodded and walked over to a wooden dummy that was supposed to be her partner to spar with. She delivered punches and kicks and stopped when the dummy took enough damage.

She walked outside over to a tree and climbed it. Katie practiced her balance while Shiro threw small rocks at her to mimic the floating bags that will be there in the test. She avoided them all making sure to be at the top before losing her balance.

Katie stumbled a bit but made it to the top successfully with only a few rocks making contact with her. She looked down on Shiro and Hunk and waved happily at them.

They smiled and waved back when they heard footsteps behind them.

Katie looked down in curiosity to see who the person talking to the boys was but she lost her balance and fell.
