Sara walked slowly through the park, guided by the soft light from the lamp posts. It was dark. It was late. Geez, it had to be about 10 pm. Good thing it was Friday. She sighed, nervousness creeping up on her. It's not that she was afraid... Well, ok, she was a little. Her ankle was still hurting from being broken, and after the discover of Qi, she was suspicious of everyone, realizing she really was on the bottom of the food chain. The park was completely empty though at this time of night. And that was a good thing for what she had planned.
She had called Travis around 8, telling him to meet her in the park for 10. She hadn't told him why, thinking he would probably not come if he knew. She wanted to fight him, to try to work out her Qi. And not just a little fight, but go all out with him. She had called him, sounding pissed, telling him he needed to show up or else. She wanted him to hold nothing back on her, to fight her seriously. And to make him do that, she was going to make him think she was so pissed at him that she was going to seriously beat the crap out of him. He was to good to her. He would never seriously hurt her, and that was the problem. He needed to try.
She cut off the path and through a group of trees, coming out on the other side in a small little patch of land where the were no trees or any other obstacles. The pond, situated in the center of the park came right up into the edge of this little clearing. This was where she had asked him to meet her. This was where she would fight him. If anyone did come through the park, the wall of trees would block them from view. She walked to the center of the clearing and dropped to the ground to wait for him, staring out into the pond. Hopefully he didn't get lost.

Travis didn't know what he did wrong, but it seemed like Sara had been really upset at him for something. She told him to come to the park, and meet her two hours later. He figured it'd be best to just go along with her demands. He would arrive at the park, and begin to wander to the location that his girlfriend had suggested. He would make his way down the lit pathway, and then break through the woods and off the path. The pond would come into view, and small distance away he'd catch sight of Sara sitting down.
He'd take his steps forward and walk closer to the girl, before he'd finally stop a few feet away. He was worried that maybe he had already done something stupid and was going to get dumped so soon. He was preparing himself for the worst as he released a small sigh and then decided to speak out to his girlfriend before she spoke to him. Those eyes of his locking upon her frame as he prepared himself.
"Hey.. Whats up?"
His hands would lift, and he'd press them to his sides. Travis was wondering if maybe he just got the wrong vibe, and she just wanted to get him here alone. Either way he'd stare at her and wait for her to answer him. He was really curious as to what was actually going on, or if she was in some kind of trouble or needed something from him.

"Hey.. Whats up?"
She jumped. She'd been lost in her thoughts and hadn't heard him enter the clearing. She tilted her head back and looked up at him, forgetting for a moment why she had invited him here, and accidentally let the smile meet her lips, her happiness at seeing him readily apparent. Every time she saw him it was a shock for her, realizing that he was hers, at least for the moment. She would get butterflies in her stomach, and she couldn't help but blush seeing him. He made her feel really happy, and she always felt like an idiot blushing and stumbling over her words when he was around.
Then her thoughts organized themselves and she hardened her face, hoping he had missed the look she had given him. She felt a pang of guilt seeing him. He looked really worried. An unexpected thought crossed her mind. What if he broke up with her for doing this to him? She would have gotten him all worked up, physically fighting with him, only to tell him later that it was purely for shits and giggles. But she pushed the thought from her mind. In her eyes, she couldn't be with him unless she was willing to work to figure out her Qi. She kind of hoped he figured it out and just went with it, if only so he wasn't truly mad at her.
She double checked his position to her. He was only a few feet away to her right, just within reach of her. She pulled her legs up, and twisted her upper body to the right side, putting both hands on the ground, as though she was going to push her self up. But instead of pushing herself up, she threw her left leg out, sweeping it across the ground to catch his feet and trip him. Whether he dodged or not didn't matter, she would finish the sweep with her leg, ending up on her stomach, both hands ready to push herself to her feet. She pushed up, a little rougher then would have liked because of her foot, and gained her feet, tripping a little as she spun back to face him.

After he spoke, Travis watched as she got startled slightly. He hadn't meant to scare her, but he was sure she'd get over it. And then to top things off, he caught a smile as it crept onto her face. He was so confused now. She called him sounding like she wanted to rip off his head for something, and now she was smiling at him for some reason. The smile quickly disappeared though and she seemed to be getting ready to push herself up onto her feet. It was then that her actions suddenly changed and she sent a kick toward him, from a low angle.
His eyes would narrow slightly and his left leg would sweep out on his own, aiming to catch her sweep with his shit as he sent his own kick against hers. It was too late when he realized that she had just had that ankle injured in her fight against that Matrim kid. He felt really but for some reason he felt that this was just going to be payback for the last time he had attacked her without any real reason. Yeah.. That had to be it. She was just trying to get him back.
After he collided his kick with hers, he'd jump backwards and away from the girl. He didn't want to pummel her so soon, so he was going to give her a chance to get back on her feet and try again. Of course, he would keep his eyes open for a good moment to advance and break her attacks down. He liked teasing her a little bit. It always seemed to bring some kind of fun. He'd try and play a long with her for a little bit. But honestly the thought of swimming was a little more interesting at this time.
"Looks like someone is in a bad mood.."

Sara's leg met his as he kicked out at her himself. Thank god it had been her right foot that had been broken. She finished the sweep with her leg, using the momentum to help push her to her feet. She tripped slightly, as her injured ankle spasmed in pain, but held her footing.
"Shit..." She hissed through her teeth. Maybe it was to early to be fighting right now. She walked on the ball of her injured foot, limping slightly as she tried to keep the pressure off of it. She took a defensive stance, placing all the weight on her left foot, realizing she was going to be unable to attack him unless he was closer. He had moved further back, away from her. He stood there watching her.
"Looks like someone is in a bad mood.."
Her face hardened as she stared him, he wasn't taking her seriously. Ass... He seemed to say it sarcastically, meaning he didn't really think it, but was trying was to egg her on. She dropped her arms, putting them on her hips, opening her front to his attacks in a cocky manner. She could think of nothing smart to say to this, so she went with the age old comeback.
"Bite me." There. Simple. Easy. Usually effective to some degree. She couldn't help keeping a hint of joke in her voice. Which was maybe for the best. Choosing to fight him seriously this early was a bad idea, but a light sparring match to get her back on her feet might be a good idea.

Bite me.
Travis would crack a smirk once he heard that. He'd give her a small wink, as if saying he'd bite her any day. And then since it was clear to see she didn't want to make her move, Travis would have to keep things going. He was worried she was going to push herself too soon. Normally he wouldn't care, but she was still recovering from her broken ankle. There was no way she was going to be able to keep up with him at all. But she was trying, and he guessed that was what was suppose to be the most important thing.
He would rush forward, and as he got into range, Travis would kick against the ground and send him off to his left slightly, to the girl's left so that he could attack from the side she couldn't put weight on. His right hand would snap out as he aimed to land and open handed palm against the girl's stomach and knock her away.

He rushed at her and Sara tensed, preparing for his attack. He moved so he could attack at her left. She had both expected this and yet not expected this. She knew anyone would attack to their opponents weak side, but she also hadn't expected Travis to go for that. His arm moved outwards, his open palm going for her stomach.
She knew she wouldn't be able to dodge to the attack now that he was close enough. She had an idea, but she knew it would hurt her ankle. But he wouldn't be expecting it and therefore it would most likely land, and do some damage to him. She decided to go for it. If she could hide the pain, he might even be a little rougher with her, which was her goal.
She put her right foot flat on the ground, putting her weight on it. As he closed the distance, his hand about to slam into her stomach, she spun to the left, her left foot pushing against the ground, giving her body to momentum to turn quickly, her right foot keeping her body in place. She drew her left arm up to shoulder level, bending it and thrusting her elbow outwards at him, aiming for and elbow to his chest.

His palm was only the start, and Travis' body would begin to twist around and his back would be given toward his girlfriend's front. It was then he'd feel her elbow clash against his upper back. It wasn't something that would knock him off his feet, but he was glad that she knew how to move like she did. She would definitely grow to be a great fighter soon. It was just too bad her ankle was injured, or she might actually be a little harder to beat this time around if it weren't for her injury.
Travis knew from this position, all he'd have to do was continue his spin toward her, and extend his right arm backwards and curl it so that his own elbow would aim to slam against his girlfriend's chest and knock her away. He remembered how she wanted her Qi to come out. He would need to help her by trying to go all out. Of course, he would know when it was time to let off. He wasn't stupid.

Sara felt her elbow connect with him. She turned her head to see it was his back, not his front like she had thought. She had a brief moment of What the hell happened here? Then his elbow connected with her chest. She was pushed backwards from the force, but ignored the pain, instantly countering.
Now he seemed to be taking her seriously. Good. She would show him that even with an injured foot, she could still fight well. She launched herself at his back. Her right foot kicked out at the back oh his knees, trying to drop him down, her left hand reaching out to grab his hair.
If this worked, and he dropped to his knees, her hand in his hair, holding his head in place, she would pull on his hair, pulling his head back. She would bring her left leg upwards, slamming her knee into the back of his head.
Not only was this fight to try bring out her Qi, it was to show him that she was strong, and getting stronger. To show him that she was a capable fighter. It was to train. That, and she really just enjoyed fighting with him. She wanted to smile at that thought. This was the weirdest relationship she had ever been in, by far.

Who said it was bad that these two could fight like this? At least if they got angry at each other they could beat each other up without really worrying too much if they would go over board. They could let off some tension if they really needed to do it. He was perfectly fine with it, though others might think it was an odd relationship. It didn't matter what they thought. All that mattered was these two were happy. And so far Travis had nothing to complain about.
As soon as his elbow landed, Travis would have kicked off the ground and shot away from the girl. He wasn't going to just stand around while she recovered. He'd unknowingly dodge the girl's attack with the jump away, and as soon as he'd touch down, he'd turn back to face her with a grin on his face. Those icy blues would study the area, and then drop to the lake. He wondered how cold it was tonight. Sara would probably like to know before hand.. But he doubted that he'd give her a chance to find out before he tossed her in. Of course, that would come in a little bit. He still wanted to push her a bit longer.
He'd advance this time, dashing toward Sara with that grin on his face. His right hand would snap out once he was in range, and he's send it toward the girl's face, only to retract at the last moment and send his left fist toward her face instead. It was a quick little change-up feint meant to distract and confuse her long enough for his blow to land.

Dammit. He kicked off the ground, moving out of her range before she had reached him. She came to a stop, tripping slightly on her injured ankle. She was pushing it a little to hard. She needed to slow down before she hurt her ankle again. She watched him turn back to face her, that damn cocky smile on his face. He seemed to study the area, and she took the chance to take a deep breath, testing out her ankle. It was starting to hurt a little, but it would be ok. She studied him. She was struck by how much she liked him, how important he was to her. And wasn't he just so nice to look at tonight. She smiled at that thought. And then it started again.
She tensed as he came at her this time, that damn grin still plastered on his face. She took a step back, her stance becoming defensive. His right arm snapped up, aimed for her face. She flinched, bringing her arms to her face. She was surprised he would go for her face. She really hadn't been expecting that. Her eyes shut. Smart move Sara, smart move... Well it wasn't her fault. He had surprised her, she was allowed to be surprised.
But the hit didn't come from the direction she had expected. Instead, the hit came from the right, his left fist connecting with her face. She was thrown back a step, her head ringing.
She again though, acted immediately, ignoring the pain. She took a step forward again, planting her left foot in front, and threw her right fist up for a gut shot.

Travis would feel Sara's fist land against his gut, and he'd take the blow knowing full well he could get her here. His left arm would snap and aim to wrap around the arm she used to strike with. It was then that he'd side step quickly, and tug the girl with him, before pivoting and then using that strength of his to yank her off her feet as he spun around. He would then release her body and aim to throw her into the air. Where would she land? Well, the reason he had used the side step and pivoted, was so that he could release the girl and send her off into the pond.
Hehe.. She's gonna be PISSED..
Travis had another reason why he was doing this. He hadn't come here thinking he was going to fight. He was actually looking for a relaxing night tonight. Though, it had definitely helped to de-stress him. He just didn't think it should keep going on for a long time due to the condition his girlfriend's ankle was in. He didn't want her to increase the damage to it. They could hold off on their fighting, he just wanted to have some fun. Without having to throw his fists around to get it.
If it all worked as he wished, he'd watch as Sara was tossed into the pond, and let out a small chuckle himself. Travis would then pull off that tank top and toss it to his right as he began to walk toward the edge of the pond. Those icy blue orbs would glance around the area just to make sure that there was no one else around. He'd unbutton his pants and then pull them off. He wasn't naked.. He was still wearing boxers. He'd wait for his girlfriend to surface, and then dive in himself, and come up nearby her.

His arm wrapped around hers and she was thrown off her feet. Sara landed in the pond with a small splash. She was suspended in the water for a few moments while she gathered her thoughts, spinning her body trying to figure out which way was up. Her feet found the muddy ground and she pushed herself up, surfacing with a huge gulp of air.
The pond was deeper then she thought, coming up to her chest when she stood on her feet. The cool air blew across her exposed skin, making her shiver and covering her in goosebumps. She sputtered, wiping the hair out of her eyes and rubbing her hands over her face when he came up next to her.
She glared at him, swiping at him with her hand, somewhat jokingly, as she moved past him. At his height, the water wasn't as deep on him as it was on her. She shot him a dirty look and swam towards the edge of the pond. Well more doggy paddled. Her clothes weighted her down, and she was having trouble moving through the water. How could he have done that to her. That was cruel. Now she was soaked. She needed to take off her clothes and lay them out to dry and then get back in the water. If she stayed in the water she would keep warm. But she would be pretty much naked. SHE WAS NOT HAPPY.
She hit the edge of the pond and turned her head back to look at him. "You're going to pay for that. Just you wait."

You're going to pay for that. Just you wait.
Of course Travis had sorta planned this. What could you expect? He was only a teenager after all. He had watched her strip with that cocky grin on his face. And he'd start to back peddle and swim out a little farther, so that she'd have to chase him in if she really wanted to get him back. At least.. He hoped she'd follow him. He hadn't really thought about it until now, but she could totally end up screwing him over by grabbing his cloths and running off with him. That would definitely suck. Especially when he'd have to ride his motorcycle home, practically naked and soaking wet.
"Ooohhh. So tough. Am I suppose to be scared or something?"
Travis spoke like a cocky son of a bitch, but he was just toying with her to get some kind of reaction. He thought it was kinda cute when she got angry. It always made him smile. He'd make sure he stopped when the water reached his shoulders. After all, Sara was kinda short. He didn't want her to have too much trouble reaching him. He'd duck himself under the water really quickly, and then resurface, his own hands lifting up to slick back that orangeish hair of his. Now all he had to do was wait for her to come to him.

Sara pulled herself out of the pond, soaking wet, and shivering. That ass... Shesat down and pulled off her shoes and socks and then stood up, undoing her pants. She didn't really want to get undressed, especially infront of Travis, but it was get undressed and get back in the water, or stay in her clothes and get a cold trying to go home.
She glared out at her boyfriend, who stood out in the middle of the pond, treading water with a cocky grin on his face. She notced his clothes lying there, and debated just stealing them and running off. The cold would be worth watching him try to get home in his wet boxers.
"Ooohhh. So tough. Am I suppose to be scared or something?"
That idea went right out of her head as she turned to glare at him again. He was toying with her, playing games. She turned her body to him, pulling of her shirt and grinning at him.
"You damn well should be!" She watched him move further away, daring her to come after him. Well fine then. She dropped her soaking wet jeans and ran back into the water in her underclothes. As soon as the water hit her waist she dived, holding her breath and swimming the rest of the distance to him.
She was so not done with him yet. She squinted through the dark, murky water, and seeing a shape in front of her, she gave one last push with her legs, grabbing him around the waist and pulled him under.
