Gidget shook her head, panting, as she took the bottle of water. This time, she didn't care WHAT Drake said... She plopped back onto her butt, holding the bottle of water against the back of her neck. She was breathing too hard to get any actual words out.

"I know you're feeling hot, but Drinking the water will cool you off faster."
He would say as he took a drink of his own water.

She gasped for air for a moment more before unscrewing the top of the water bottle. She took a single drink, knowing that more might make her sick.
When she could breathe a little easier, she told Drake, "I... want to be able... to fight with youse guys... Because its going... to come down to a fight... and I don't... want to be left behind."

Drake remained silent for a moment before taking another sip.
"Yeah.. you might be right."
He contemplated for a moment.
"Alright, then I need to make sure something is clear. Yeah?"
He would wait for any form of affirmation before continuing.
"I will train you, I'll teach you, I will make you improve... but if it is our fights you want to join, you wait until I tell you that I think you are ready to fight, even if you think you're ready before I do, got it?"

Gidget glowered at Drake. She understood his reasoning for it, without having to ask, but...
"How do I know you will EVER think I'm ready?" She demanded.

"You're going to have to trust me. And if you don't, then prove me wrong by beating me in a fight."
He would say taking a drink of water.

She contemplated that for a moment, giving herself time to catch her breath. Finally, she nodded in agreement and took another swig of her water.
"So, you'll continue to train me? Do I need to learn gymnastics or some shit?"

Drake would chuckle as he rolled backwards picked himself up with one arm into a hand stand and launched himself into the air with a spin to land delicately on the edge of the roof.
"As a matter of fact. It wouldn't hurt to know."

She stared at him and gave a shake of her head. Gymnastics? Seriously.
Gidget groaned and threw herself onto her back, staring up at the sky.

Drake chuckled.
"You don't have too, it just helps. Gives you more options in a fight especially given that you aren't very strong or durable. Gymnastics or not, you do need to find ways to improve your battlefield maneuverability."

Battlefield maneuverability. She hummed softly as she thought about that. She needed to learn to utilize her advantages... and being small could, in fact, be an advantage.
"Okay. Fine. But I'm not wearing a fucking leotard."

He raised an eyebrow.
"A... what?"

She stared at him for a long moment, giving a shake of her head.
"So, gymnastics is a sport here. Its like... cheerleading, which I'm sure you also don't know.... They wear this skin tight little outfit that looks like a one piece swimsuit. But its usually covered in sequins and shit."

"Duh."
She rolled her eyes slightly, still lying on her back. She stretched her arms high above her head before finally pushing herself up to sitting and turning to stare at Drake.
"What next?"
