"Here we go." I thought aloud as I got my ass up and out of bed.
As soon as I had both pnted on the gray floor of my room, I walked to the entrany home and waited till Amata was in front of it. Moments ter she arrived where I needed her to pull off my harmless prank, so I pressed the button opening the sliding door before she could get up to any mischief.
*Ksshk*
"Well good m, Amata. You're here surprisingly early, aren't you, even earlier than the day before?" I said with a broad smile, implying that I kly why she keeps showing up earlier and earlier with each passing day.
It took her a sed or two for her to recover from the surprise I gave her and once she did, she quickly stammered out a greeting along with an excuse with a bright red face. "G-good m Harold, I-I came earlier thaerday because we have a lot of training to do, so I wanted us to get a head start on it today."
"Uh huh, yeah that's the reason, definitely not here to pretend to wake me up just to somehow end up climbing into my bed in the end, definitely not that right." I replied, not buying her excuse at all si had already taken pce before.
As the shade of red on her face was further deepening over the few seds, I got the versation moving along and asked. "Moving on from that since you're already here, you might as well join me for breakfast unless you already ate?"
"N-no, I haven't had breakfast yet." She stammered out with a still bright red face.
"Alright then, e on in."
With that settled and Amata out of her stupor, I moved out of the doorway to let her e in. And right as she entered inside, I closed the front door and headed to the kit with Amata in tow to whip up some breakfast for the both of us.
After rummaging through the fridge for a bit, I asked her. "Hey Amata, are you fih ba, eggs, and some buttered toast on the side for breakfast?"
"Yeah, that sounds great." She replied happily with a not-sht red faymore.
"Okay cool, that will make things easy, then. Go take a seat, si won't take me all that long to get everything prepared." I told her.
"Oh alright, but if you need any help, let me know."
"Alright, will do."
While Amata was taking a seat at the dining table, I started pulling out all the ingredients from the fridge I was going to need. I followed that up by retrieving a couple of pans from the ets that I was going to use to cook the ba and eggs. No more than a mier, I had everything out, so I started heating up the pans oovetop.
"Amata, how many eggs do you want?"
"I'll have two." She replied happily from the nearby table.
Now knowing how many eggs she wanted, I cracked ope eggs, two for her and six for myself since a growing boy needs his protein if he's to make any gains. From there, I checked to see if the pan was hot enough and it was, so I moved on to the step, which was to butter the pan up for the eggs.
Once I had a nice spread of melted butter across the pan's surface, I poured the eight eggs onto the pan's hot metal surface, produg an audible sizzling sound. With the eggs now cooking, I got the ba going oher hot pan along with the toast and had everything ready in about 10 mi.
"Okay, everything's done Amata. I'm bringing the food to the table now." I said whilst I was loading the ptes up and bringing them over.
"Here you go. Do you want achup or jam?" I asked her after pg the ptes oable.
"Umm, I have some raspberry jam, please?"
"You sure , let me get it." I replied before heading bato the kit to locate the raspberry jam.
After searg through the kit for a bit, I located the jam and brought it back over with me to the table. When I finally sat down, we begaing breakfast I just cooked up for the two of us. And as we ate, we chatted itently between bites about the different things we'll be doing in training today as well as what we'll be w on tomorrow.
15 minutes in, we fihe meal and when we did, Amata thanked me with a bright smile on her face. "Thanks for the meal Harold, it was really, really good."
"Yeah, no problem, let's just try to keep the climbing into my bed part out until you're older. you do that for me?" I responded, making her cheeks flush again, although not as severe as previously.
After a short few moments, she nodded her head. "Good, and since you're willing to promise with me a bit, you're more than wele to e over for breakfast every day, if you want."
Once I said that, she had a surprised look that morphed into aatic expression a few seds ter when she realized what I had just said.
The sed she hopped up from her chair and raced over to my side, ing her little arms around me, giving me a hug while looking up at me with slightly wet puppy dog eyes and questioned. "Really, I eat with you every day from now on?"
"Uh, yeah, I don't see why not, as long as you keep your word and distinue your bed-climbing activities." I replied, putting a small smile on her face while she tio hug me.
"Okay, that's enough hugging for now, Amata. We have our training to get to." I said, while ruffling her hair with a smile of my own.
After a few more moments, she let go, so I walked bay room and gathered a few things that we'll need for today's training, those being ara set of clothes and some other miseous things.
"I got what I needed. Let's head out." I told her.
Not wasting any time, we made our way out of my home's entrand into the gray vault hallways and began walking towards the track to do a bit of cardio.
Several mier, we arrived at the track, thus I turo Amata and said. "Let's start out with some stretg first and when we're nid limber, we'll move onto running. And once we've dohat for a certain amount of time, we'll do some sprinting stly. Are you good with that?"
"Yeah, I'm fih that as long as I get to take a break to catch my breath iween."
"Okay, let's do an hour of cardio before we take a short break and after we're finished with our short rest, we'll hit the weights. Sound good?"
"Sounds good to me."
"Alright, let's get to it."
The 30 minutes were spent with her and I running and as I was in the midst of doing so I looked over towards and noticed she was having a hard time keeping up. So we took a breather on the benches nearby for five minutes before Amata seemed to have settled her breathing enough to tinue.
"So Amata, do you feel like you tio some sporadic sprinting with short breaks iween?"
"Yeah, I think I'm fio tinue, but I will definitely hose breaks iween so I catch my breath and calm my heart a bit." She answered, to which I nodded my head.
A few moments ter we got up from the benches and tihe rest of our cardio for the half an hour and right as we hit the 1-hour mark, Amata was basically ready to colpse. Hence, we headed for the benches once again. However, mid way there we, Amata stumbled on her feet so I grabbed her before she could tumble and hit the floor.
"You alright?" I asked, ed.
*Haa-haa* "I'm fine, my legs are just a bit numb from all the running we just finished." She answered, her legs shaking slightly.
"Well, before you possibly take aumble and injure yourself, I'll just carry you the rest of the way."
"N-no, that's alright. I-I think I make it." She responded, somewhat embarrassed with her head now fag down.
*Ahh*
Not taking no for an answer, I picked her up with my left hand under her knees and my right hand on her bad carried her the rest of the way to the benches while her face became a bit more flushed.
...
Half an hour ter on the benches, I had Amata ying down with her head on my p almost passed out when I had the bright idea to give her some positive reinfort so she doesn't lose her drive to improve.
"Great job, Amata. You've been doing phenomenally well tely and I've noticed your speed and endurance have improved quite a bit since we've started training together, so keep it up."
"You really think so?" She replied, springing back to life somewhat.
"Yeah, you have, so keep up the good work."
With her smiling brightly, I let her tinue resting on my p for an additional 15 minutes before I decided to get us moving toward the weights. "Alright, let's go hit the weights at the gym for a bit."
"'t I y here for a few more minutes, please?" She asked with her puppy dog eyes gleaming.
I struggled for a bit internally aually caved to her request. "Haa, you y down for five more minutes, but then we're going, okay!" I answered, hearing a giggle in reply and seeing her smiling like she just aplished something huge.
After five more minutes passed, Amata got up from my p and we made our way through the gray hallways of the vault to the gym. The minute we got there, I set Amata up to do some free weights exercises with weights she could handle while I also did the same alongside her with the maximum weight I could handle. We then ran through a good portion of the gym equipment and ended up spending about two hours there when we decided collectively to call it quits ao the pool to get a swim in.
Upon reag the venue, I went over hos we should try to do. As soon as we were done discussing that, we began swimming bad forth until we hit our numbers. Though my ps took signifitly lohan Amata's since I had a ton more ps thahat I o plete. So she ended up off to the side of the pool watg me till I was doh an admiring look on her face.
From there, we rexed and pyed around in the pool for the rest of the hour until I was starting to get hungry, thus I asked. "Amata, are you hungry yet?"
"Yeah, I've been starving for a while." *Growl* She answered before her stomach agreed with her, making her face flush again for the umpteenth time today.
"I guess you are ha ha. Let's head to my home and I will make us some lunch." I replied, which she nodded her head to.
Doh physical exercise for the day, Amata and I both gathered our things and began the journey bay home, where I then made a pretty sizable lunch. For the simple reason that we were both practically starving after exerting ourselves so mu today's training. When we eventually finished eating, I applied a few stimpaks to myself and Amata to help with recovery and muscle fatigue.
"Okay, time to head out to our destination."
"So we're going to work o-"
As we discussed what we would be doing there, I headed out the door with Amata following right o me to my b to work on a few of the things that o be prepared for my future wastend adventure.
