"I
wish I could do that," whispered Kel. "But she is only
fifteen???"
"Yep!" answered Ara.
"She is much too young! She
won't be much help to us!" said Cleon.
"She is Head Girl back at
our school," replied Ara hotly.
"And does a Head Girl out
rank nobles?" protested Cleon.
"I bet she is smarter than
you!"
"You little…"
"And what are you going to
do? Fight?"
"Hey, I'm much stronger than
you!"
"Sure. Whatever."
"Fine. Then I challenge you
to a duel. No magic."
"No, Lily should do
it."
"Why Lily?"
"Just because…"
"You're scared."
"Am not!"
"Are to!"
"Will you two please shut
your traps!" shouted Kel. "Cleon and Ara shall have a duel, then
Cleon and Lily will have a duel, but later. So there. Does that satisfy both
of you?"
"Yes, but as Lily was the
one insulted she should go first!"
"No!" shouted Cleon.
"Are you scared of a
4'11" 15-year-old girl?"
"Fine. I'll do it."
"Alright, then. Who am I
supposed to take down?" asked Lily. Lily came up to his middle chest.
"You expect me to fight
HER!?"
"Yes. Unless you are scared.
Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I can't drop-kick you!" said Lily.
"Just do it!" yelled
Kel. "3…2…1… GO!"
Cleon decided to go easy on Lily
because she was so small. He faked a left and then came around with his
right, hoping to end it early. But Lily wasn't there! She had vaulted over
him!
Lily dodged Cleon's punches,
kicks, and throws for about ten minutes before she got bored. Really, she
thought, he isn't bad. Just needs more creativity! She faked a right, then
went with a left hook and dropkicked him. Cleon never knew what had hit him!
