A Friend In Need

The workout mix I made for Chihiro had a profound effect on her motivation.

Chihiro had made it to the red zone of the treadmill, a feat I didn't expect her to accomplish.

She never ceases to amaze me.

Chihiro had no shortage of motivation from me or Mondo.

Vesper: You have this Chihiro! I believe in you!

Mondo: You go bro! You doing great!

Chihiro began to put all her energy in her legs, causing her to outrun the treadmill itself.

Mondo: W-Woah!

Vesper: Too much Chihiro! Too much!

Chihiro was lost in her determination, and when she came to her senses, she lost her footing and flew across the room.

Mondo: Oh shit!

Vesper: Chihiro!

We both ran to her, but our concerns were dashed when we learned that her fall was broken by a pile of yoga balls.

Vesper: Thank god your alright.

Mondo: Yeah! You could have been killed!

Chihiro: I was so into it! Let's go again!

Vesper: I wouldn't recommend it, you have covered leg day for the next week, perhaps we could try some weights?

Chihiro: Yeah! Let's go!

Mondo: That's the attitude I like to see! We may just have to get her a hog, huh Vesper?

Vesper: She definitely has it in her.

We shared a laugh, that was soon overdone by the sound of the locker room door swinging open.

What stood in the doorway was a being of pure strength and determination, who's massive physique caused the ground beneath her to shake.

Sakura: Hello everyone.

Mondo: Hey Sakura.

So Sakura is her name.

Chihiro ran up to Sakura.

Chihiro: Sakura! Sakura! The guys have been helping me workout!

Sakura: That is sweet of them.

Sakura's gaze fell upon me.

Sakura: I don't believe we have met, I'm Sakura, the Ultimate Martial Artist.

Vesper: Vesper Wilde, the Ultimate Historian.

I held my hand out.

Sakura: A pleasure.

Sakura took my hand, and we shook, her grip iron forged.

Sakura released her grip on me, and proceeded to empty her workout bag.

Sakura: So what do you all think of these thieves that are causing chaos around town?

Vesper: Common hoodlums.

Mondo: Yeah, total scum.

Chihiro: What do you think they took from that warehouse?

Vesper: Gold most likely, gold imports come through those warehouses often.

Sakura: Understandable.

Sakura took a seat with us as Chihiro lifted a small set of weights.

Sakura: Your doing better Chihiro, I'm proud of you.

Chihiro: Thanks Sakura, it means a lot.

Sakura: It takes courage for you to reveal such a thing to me, you are brave.

Reveal?

Vesper: Is everything okay Chihiro?

Mondo: Yeah, you going through something?

Sakura's face went red.

Sakura: I'm sorry, I thought they knew.

Vesper: I'm concerned, is all okay?

Chihiro: Yeah, I thinks it's time I told you guys and everyone else.

What is she talking about?

Chihiro stood up and took a deep breath.

Chihiro: Guys....I'm....

Chihiro paused for a moment as I sipped my energy drink and Mondo lifted a weight.

Chihiro: ....I'm a boy.

In that exact moment, I shot my energy drink out of my mouth, and soon after Mondo dropped his weight on my foot.

Vesper: Ah!

Mondo: Sorry man!

Vesper: It's fine! It's fine....Chihiro....why dress as I girl?

Chihiro: Because I was to weak to be a boy, so I dressed as a girl so no one would pick on me.

Mondo: Dude....

Vesper: Chihiro....

We went silent, still overwhelmed with this discovery.

Vesper: You didn't need to hide that from us Chihiro, there is no judgment among us.

Mondo: Yeah!

Sakura: Agreed, we are all friends here.

Chihiro gave us all a group hug.

Chihiro: Thanks guys! Your the best friends ever!

We all shared a laugh.

Sakura: While on the topic of admissions, I wish to tell you all something as well.

Vesper: Shoot.

Sakura: I decided to help the new student in stopping these criminals.

New kid? Kyoko?

Mondo: You mean the detective girl?

Sakura: Yes, I believe her name is Kyoko.

Sakura will aid Kyoko in her investigation.

Damn.
