*I have been working for the company for six years and without a doubt I am one of the most trusted employees*. Soarin was waiting in the gym for his new student.
*Then why do I have to take care of this kid* Spike entered through the door completely soaked
“I’m sorry I’m late, But a girl's rabbit fell into the river and I had to help.” Spike entered without worrying too much about getting the floor wet.
*This guy is always late somehow*.
Monday: “Sorry, Soarin, a girl’s truck broke down and I had to help her.” Spike entered the place full of dust, staining everything.
Tuesday: “Sorry again, Soarin. I was helping a clown with his confetti cannon.” Spike entered the place full of confetti and cake.
Wednesday: “Really, really, I’m sorry, Soarin. It won’t happen again, but a girl had a motorcycle accident and I had to help her.” Spike was bleeding from the head while talking to the wall.
“Spike, go to the hospital.” Soarin helped Spike out of the place.
Thursday: “Good training, Spike. I’m surprised you’re coming early today.”
"I told you so." Spike took a sip of water, accidentally wetting things.
“And that was repeated all month” Soarin started putting on boxing gloves while Spike swallowed.
“Today we will do boxing?” Spike got a little nervous and started to back away.
“To this? It’s just to protect you. Today you will fight me with everything you have.” Soarin climbed into the gym ring, waiting for Spike to get ready.
“Then I don’t plan on holding back.” Spike jumped up towards the ring, lunging at Soarin immediately.
“Your movements are erratic and slow. Come on, you were better yesterday.”
Spike threw a punch at Soarin's face, but Soarin dodged it easily and countered with a jab to Spike's stomach. Spike groaned and backed off, trying to catch his breath.
"Is that all you got?" Soarin taunted. "You're not even trying."
"I'm just warming up," Spike said, wiping his mouth. "You'll see."
Spike charged at Soarin again, throwing a flurry of punches. Soarin blocked most of them, but some landed on his arms and chest. He felt a sting of pain, but he didn't show it. He waited for an opening and then kicked Spike in the leg, making him stumble.
"Nice kick," Spike said, grinning. "But you'll have to do better than that."
Spike swung his leg at Soarin's head, hoping to surprise him. But Soarin saw it coming and ducked, grabbing Spike's leg and throwing him to the ground. Spike rolled and got up quickly, but Soarin was already on him, pinning him down.
"Give up?" Soarin asked, looking into Spike's eyes.
"Never," Spike said, pushing Soarin off him. He got up and tackled Soarin, knocking him down. They both struggled on the floor, exchanging punches and kicks. They were evenly matched, neither one giving up.
They both continued fighting for a few more minutes until finally, Spike fell exhausted and bruised to the ground.
"You did pretty well for a rookie spike." Soarin took off his gloves seeing that his hands were a little trembling.
"Soarin, I think I'm leaving at this time, the old lady who picks up the trash is coming out and I want to help her." Spike tried to get up but his legs gave out.
"spike why do you help people so much?" The young man with blue hair helped Spike up.
"Well that's what you guys do here isn't it?" Spike didn't think much about his response, To Soarin's Surprise
"What do you mean by that?"
Spike's smile disappeared as he spoke, "When I was little, my mom abandoned So no one protected me when I was little."
Soarin was unsure of what to say, having also experienced a tough childhood. "It must have been very difficult," he replied.
"It was, But I met good people who help me And I want to do the same for other people."
As they walked in silence towards the exit, Spike said goodbye and helped an old woman with her things before leaving.
Soarin remembered his boss's orders and took out a cigarette from his pocket.
The previous night at 3:43 PM:
Soarin sat angrily in front of his boss, Shining, "This must be a bad joke, Shining."
"It's not. I already told you, I'll send him to take care of my sister," Shining replied calmly while serving himself some tea and also his daughter.
"But Twilight is too important for a beginner to take care of," Soarin argued, taking out a cigarette which Shining quickly took away.
"There are children here. I wouldn't want someone her age taking care of my daughter," Shining said while getting up from his chair and carrying his baby.
"I can never convince you, can I?" Soarin put his feet on Shining's desk. "Then let me go. There's also a vacancy for a Concierge."
"You're adorable. You care so much about your students," Shining said before leaving the office and agreeing with Soarin.
At the moment:
"I hope I didn't screw up that boy tomorrow".
