Two tomboys

Once more Jackson turned of the engine of his truck and considered the best way to handle the coming encounter. He had to chuckle to himself though, considering how none of the encounters went as he had planned he simply shrugged and grabbed his gym bad. Stepping out of his truck he quickly crosses the parking lot to the entrance. As he steppes inside he encounters the cool air laced with that unique smell all gyms have. Behind the welcome counter sits one of the two sisters who own and run the dojo/gym. The young First Nation woman looks up and smiles. “Hey Jack, you’re a little early today.” “Hey Lilly, ya was in town for some other errands and figured I could just drop in a little earlier.” Lilly smiled. Jack had been a customer and silent partner of the gym for several years now and she and her sister were very greatfull for all his help. “Anything new going on?”

“Well actually, yes.” Lilly looked closely at Jackson, something was definitely different today. “Ok, what’s going on?” Lilly was concerned Jackson was definitely acting different today. “Part of it I can’t get into right now, part of it is I have someone I want you and Moon to meet.

Where Lilly had the lean build of a runner Moon had the toned and sculpted body of a martial artist. “Hey Jack ready to get started?” The irrepressible tomboy greeted him with her ever excited attitude. With a laugh Jackson helped her get the rest of the setup for the room ready as the rest of the self defense class came in. The class didn’t really have a set style they marked and focused on simple effective techniques and the mindset needed to serve a violent encounter. Moon and Jackson worked together as instructors and trainers for the next hour and a half with a half hour warmup, 15 minutes of exercise and the the rest of the time working technique. The time flew by Jackson enjoying Moons company and helping people be ready in case of the worst.

At the en of the class as Jack was helpingMoon clean up he told her about the dinner date tomorrow. “Ohhh, stake dinner and a new partner I like it!” Moon took the news with her usual unflappable positivity. Jackson could only shake his head at how easy that had been
