It wasn’t long before Tyler e-mailed me to say he’d heard from Ringo.

Hi Lori,

Whoa…bummer. Closed test. Now this is going to be
Tyler was an extremely talented martial artist. I was drawn to his passion for the art. I loved to watch him perform. He was one of the best I have ever seen.boring. Now granted, I enjoy working out and love the martial arts, but!!!! (Don't tell Master H this) watching two guys sweat for two hours is not my idea of a fun Friday evening. Do you see what we masters have to sacrifice?

Well, that just bummed me out for the rest of the week.

I've been playing in PhotoShop. Check out my picture.

Back to work.

Tyler

I wrote back right away.

Hi Tyler,

What a flirt I was. I would say anything to make Tyler think more about me and want to see me. I wanted to fight and wrestle with him just so I could touch him.Closed test. Sad, but true. Maybe you should call Master H and tell him that you want me there to keep you entertained. Tell him you will not be able to focus and you will not be a good judge because you will be pretty much…sleeping.

Why don’t you tell him that you can’t make it? Then you and I can go to your school or my gym instead and practice our kicks together. What do you say, Master? I’ll even let you throw me clear across the restaurant after we practice and then eat. I know you will like that very much.

Are you smiling again yet???

Lori
