Chapter 22 - WEIRD TRAINING

"Now you have to fight this huge robot to test your strength and agility."Quin said...

BUT THAT WAS ALL IN JASON'S HEAD... INCLUDING THE ROBOT:(... AND THE SUITS.

"Now take these brooms. Sweep this whole garden:)"Quin said and left them."Hmm... maybe this is to test our sense of attacking quickly."Jason said, trying to keep Ivy in a good spirit."This isn't training, Jason. We're doing chores!"Ivy said.

WHAT?!!!!!!!!!

"We can't be doing chores...I.."Jason complained."Why else would be wearing these aprons?"Ivy asked with a disgusted look on her face. Jason was shocked."Maybe you were day dreaming or something. Now get back to work... this garden isn't gonna sweep itself."Ivy said and slipped a broom into Jason's hand.

Five hours later, they were done and sitting on the floor."... I'm so exhausted..."Ivy said."Cyril!"Jason called and the beautiful goddess appeared."What is it that you desire?"She asked."... Water! And food"Jason said and the goddess laughed."Why water? When we have juice."She said and pointed to a fountain."Just step up and tell the fountain the juice you want and you decide, either bottle, glass or can. You can also say the food you want."She said and disappeared in glitter."First sparkles... and now glitter? This lady is awesome."Ivy said and took off her apron. So did Jason, and they both went to the fountain."One can of soda, please. and some chicken wings."Ivy said and a can of cold soda and warm crispy wings appeared in her hands. "One can of soda and some Turkey legs."Jason said and same happened."Seriously?! Turkey legs... You should've just asked for chicken wings if you wanted it so bad."Ivy said as she nibbled her wings."I did, but these legs are amazing."Jason said.

Half an hour later, they were sitting on the floor."... My tum-tum.. It hurts. First, we were exhausted,tired and hungry... Now, we're full, weak and sleepy."Ivy said as she rubbed her hand on her swollen stomach."Yeah, I'm feeling really sleepy."Jason said and within minutes, they both fell asleep."Wake up, Sleepyheads! Training isn't over yet."Quin said as he hit a gong several times to wake them up. After some time, they were wearing their aprons."You can take the aprons off now."Quin said, stroking his long beard."Alright!"Jason said and threw the apron away."Training starts now."Quin said. He led them to a narrow, deserted road. He quickly put a chain on their legs with wrecking balls connected to them."Now, run from here to that pink tree before the ground swallows you."Quin said."And if we fall in, what's gonna happen?"Ivy asked with curiosity."Oh... You'll be banished into a world with no return. You can just hold the wrecking ball in your hands."Quin said and blew the whistle. They struggled to walk all the way there.

THUD!

The wrecking ball crashed on Ivy's leg."AHHHHHHHHHHHH! My leg! It hurts."Ivy screamed and the ground stopped swallowing, and Jason ran to help with the wrecking ball in his hands."What do we do?"Jason asked Quin. Quin plucked a leaf and rubbed it, squeezed the juice, and poured it on her leg."My leg... it's all better now."Ivy said and got up."Maybe this training is too much for you. For now, go back to your room."Jason, I'm so confused with this place. It's like another version of Earth, but different. And the goddess, Cyril...Cyril is a Greek name for males."Ivy said and lay on her bed."That's not the problem. The problem is the training. Chores?! It's gotta be better. Why not a huge robot that we're supposed to fight?!"Jason complained."You saw all that when you were daydreaming, right?"Ivy asked."Yeah...I did."Jason said.

After sometime, Jason and Ivy went strolling around the garden. Hand-in-Hand, they both walked around, admiring the beautiful pink garden... That they swept! Soon, they stopped to rest under another pink tree."It's hard to believe that we swept this place."Ivy said resting her head on Jason's shoulders."Why?"Jason asked and looked at Ivy's face."Because, it's all dirty again!"Ivy said with a lot of disgust on her face. Jason didn't notice it."Seriously?!"Jason screamed with anger, and Ivy closed his mouth with her hand."Shh! I hear something. Ivy sounds like...a stampede!"Ivy said and pushed Jason out of the way of running aliens in purple rhinos."What are you doing here? You're getting in the way of other people's training."Aster, the trainer of The Rumps. He was a purple alien with pump eyeballs and long purple antennas. Without wasting much time, they left and went to the other side of the garden... The side with the fountain."Mom and Dad would really be happy to use this place for a honeymoon. It's really... romantic."Jason said."Really? Honeymoon is the best you can talk about."Ivy said."So if we were to go on a honeymoon, where would you wanna go?"Jason asked."Us on a honeymoon?! We haven't even shared a kiss yet."Ivy said and stroked his chin."Just answer the question... please."Jason said."Well, if our relationship can get that far, I'm not really sure. What do you think?"Ivy asked."I don't know. We'll just wait till then."Jason said and kissed Ivy on the forehead."Enough of your lovey-dovey act. We have extreme training tomorrow. Now go get some shut eye."Quin said and went back to bed. Ivy and Jason walked back to their room, hand-in-hand. Soon they were sleeping in their separate beds.
