Exercise

Everything about her doubtful expression made me scared like she wouldn't want to be around me anymore and I couldn't have that.

As a child my mom used to talk to me about how I can be obsessively possessive towards things I like or consider mine.

I don't consider Tia to be an object but I do want to be the most important person in her life and want her to always think about me or want to be around me.

So I decided to tell her the truth, the whole truth even though she thinks I'm crazy, I will live with it and surprisingly she didn't call me crazy.

She even started trying out hiding things and asking me what was behind certain things to test my powers.

It felt good to just be with someone who accepted everything I said without question even though she did question me the first time but regardless I felt like I wasn't alone.

I have never felt this from anyone but my mom, even my closest friends and I died at the age of 23.

She even joked about how I got 5 years of my life back as a bonus.

As the girls were talking, Baity finished making dinner as Dalia, Tia's elder sister went to call the entire family so they can eat dinner together.

Marie met Tia's parents, Baity and Travel Draline, also her siblings, Dalia and Marsel Draline.

The family was quite nice to Marie and treated her like she was one of them.

They asked her a few questions like about her family in which she told them the lie Tia cooked up for her before, her family name which was Falon and other simple things as they didn't want to bother the poor girl.

When they went back to their room, they both decided to go to bed directly since it's been a long day and technically Marie is supposed to be recovering even if it seems that the girl recovering ability has been greatly enhanced.

By 4am in the morning, Tia was woken up by Marie as if it was an emergency only to be told it was so they could exercise.

While Tia was sheading imaginary tears, Marie said convincingly,

"This is what we have to do everyday if we want to be strong"

Strong…

Tia looked at her with horror in her eyes.

"When you said strong and I agreed, I meant as in power!

Ordering people around, Power!

Siting at the pinnacle of life while making money and people are protecting me, power!

Not to grow muscles and beat people myself.

I would very much prefer other people doing the beating up for me as I watch, thank you!"

"Heh, you think people won't try to take advantage of you before you reach that level.

Get your lazy ass up and let's exercise.

We should at least be able to fight our way out of danger. Just in case."

Marie said as she pulled Tia out of bed.

The girls started jogging round the street for about an hour before Tia started panting and begging for Marie to leave her alone to rest.

At least now they knew Marie has an impressive physique.

They ended up jogging for 3 more hours before Marie gave Tia 30 minutes to rest before they start combat training.

Which was a glorified way of saying Marie beating the life out of Tia with different techniques she found on the internet.

Marie did find it weird that her ability to comprehend and understand things is faster and she is able to move very fast.

Though what she found more weird was that Tia's way of comprehending things seems to be on pair to hers.

For example she isn't able to beat the girl with the same technique twice, as soon as she uses it once.

The girl seems to immediately find a way to counter it the next time without even realizing it.

As Marie thought of it more, she realized that they could use this as a way to get ahead quick, after all who would want a pig teammate.

By the time they got home it was already 10 am and Tia's parents and siblings already left for work leaving only them at home.

After freshening up Tia started learning python online on her laptop.

Marie also finished freshening up, Tia asked her what she would like to eat and they both agreed they would just skip breakfast and get noodles for lunch.

Marie watched as Tia learned.

She thought of how the younger girl could be found attractively likeable to people easily.

Since everything about her just made people want to be close to her, protect her and even relax, removing all their defences.

"What do you say about being a celebrity?

It would be a good source of capital, as you know the entertainment industry is easy money.

And I could be your manager, after all I am legally an adult and you aren't."

Marie stated as if she gave her reasons why it would be a good idea.

"You do know that it's not easy to become popular in the entertainment industry.

Anyways you could also be a celebrity, we can be a duo.

And also, money is needed to become a celebrity and we do not have that right now." Tia sighed as she replied.

"How about this, we get a camera or a really good phone with a good camera, take some pictures and videos, I'll do the editing.

Post it and hype it up on the internet and see how that goes"

Marie looked at Tia with hopeful eyes.

" What would you like to do anyways?

Modeling, acting, singing or just being an internet celebrity."

Tia felt like she was coaxing a big baby that she couldn't seem to say "no" to.

"I still have some money left from my savings, we could get a camera and I'm cool with the modeling and acting jobs but I will need a lot of practice since I don't have a teacher of any kind."

"Great, let's go get it now."

Marie pulled Tia as they made their way to a electronics shop.

After researching about camera's with Tia's phone, she finally picked a camera and bought it, Tia felt like parts of her heart was being ripped apart as she looked at her account balance.
