Getting Closer

The next couple days passed far faster than Julia was expecting them to go. Sure, she was usually dressed like Johanna and had taken on a hairstyle similar to the former coordinator. But she was nowhere on the same level as her.

"You're getting there." Johanna explained, watching her sister engage in some aerobics. Dressed in a blue leotard, her matching afro bounced about. While Julia's flexibility was on point, actually translating that into proper contest routines was a far different story.

"That still means I'm quite far away though." Julia whispered and took a deep breath. Sure, she appreciated the advice from Johanna. But sometimes it felt as if she was getting patronized. The former trainer knew that wasn't her intention. Just felt that way after so many failures.

But, that wasn't going to stop her from the goal. She was going to truly become someone new. Ash Ketchum was a forgotten memory at this moment. In place of him would be Julia Ketchum. Or perhaps Julia Berlitz. She wasn't entire sure which of the two it would be.

"Do you want to try something else then?" Johanna explained and walked over to her sister. Getting a nod, what looked to be a smile followed.
