The Sekai Taikai was back on and Jules was training nonstop. Whether it was her own doing, training with Eli and Lexi, or her and Robby getting pulled out of their bunk beds at 5am by their dad to run—Jules was nonstop.
Right now, she and Robby had just run from their apartment to Balboa Park and back. She felt like her legs were on fire when she finally got to the apartment and collapsed against the water fountain.
"I'm never letting you plan out training again." Jules said as she tried to catch her breath, resting her head back on the cold stone behind her.
She looked up at Robby, who was standing in front of her with his hands on his knees. Julianna ripped the water bottle out of his hands, making him stumble a couple steps, but Jules didn't care.
"How are you feeling? Ready?" She asked before she took a large swig of water, drinking almost all of it.
Robby ignored his sisters tone and put his hands on his hips. While still trying to catch his breath, Robby nodded. "Yeah, Eli and Demetri said they had a plan for me so Miguel and I are heading to Miyagi-Do tomorrow to work on it. You want to come?" Robby asked, raising his eyebrows at Jules.
Julianna finally pulled her lips away from the once full bottle and shook her head. She already knew all about Eli and Demetri's AI they've been building for Robby to fight Axel and as cool as she thought it was, it wouldn't benefit her. Plus, Jules was planning on meeting up (bombarding) Tory to train with her.
"No, I've got my own plan for training tomorrow." She said as she handed Robby back what was probably about a sip left of water.
Robby frowned at his water bottle that lost a significant amount of weight and when he inside and saw it was practically empty, he sighed. Robby fell onto the ground beside Jules, his shoulder bashing into hers.
"Look, Juli... We both need to be in complete focus during this competition." Robby started and Jules squinted at him. She wanted to say "duh" or something because that was obvious? But she held back.
"Yeah..." She decided to say instead, her words trailing off as she raised an eyebrow at her brother. Robby took a deep breath, suddenly terrified to say what had been bothering him for the past couple days.
He looked to Julianna and even though she was a little confused about what Robby was about to ask, he felt himself calm. This was his sister—his twin. He was just going to ask a semi-heavy question and she would answer. She wouldn't stop speaking to him, she wouldn't be mad at him, not for long at least because he's her brother.
So Robby took a deep breath and looked back to his knees that were pulled up to his chest. "There's one thing that I really think would help me focus during this fight, but it might be a lot to ask." Robby said, his eyes glued on his twiddling finger resting on his knees.
