*****Sora's POV*****

Sora was glad that Crash had let her bring Danica to practice. She wanted to teach her cousin how to defend herself. Danica's words snapped her out of her thoughts, "I've always wanted to learn how to fight, my father wouldn't have it though" she replied, "fighting isn't for a lady. Crash is only going to teach you so you aren't completely defenseless against attackers." 

 They reached Sora's room, and she let herself in. She quickly ran to the dresser and looked for her tunic and leggings. She said to the maid outside, "Can you find a tunic and leggings for Danica?" The maid gawked at her. She stuttered, " F... F... For the... Lady?" She snapped back "Yes, for the lady. Who else? Is there anyone else called Danica here?" The maid said, "N...N... No. I'll find something right away" The maid ran off. 

Sora and Danica waited for 5 minutes when the girl came back, she was holding a tunic and a pair of leggings. She handed Sora the clothes and scurried off. Sora gave the clothes to Danica, and said to her "I'll help you take your corset and dress off, but you'll have to put your tunic and leggings on." She nodded her assent. "Alright." Sora smiled at Danica and walked into the bathroom with her. 

*****Danica's POV*****

Sora had just left Danica with her clothes. Sora had said that she needed to change her own clothes. Danica had wondered 'How long had Sora been doing this?' her question was soon to be answered. She looked at the clothes in her hands and tried to figure out how to put them on. A few minutes later, she emerged, triumphant. She felt that she had accomplished something big. Sora, it seemed had been waiting a while. 

Sora's gaze quickly passed over her, making sure that she had done it right. Her cousin gave an almost imperceptible nod and walked over to the door. Sora walked out and led Danica to a room, then she opened a door and the two walked into the darkness. 

*****Crash*****

He heard the two girls walking towards the door, and stopped battling with his demon. He told it to stop, 'You might hurt her. That's not what you want, is it?' One of them knocked on the door, he suspected that it was Sora, he knew that Danica wouldn't knock. Crash went to the corner and waited for Sora to spot him. 

Her eyes roved over the room and quickly saw him, he would have been impossible to see, but he hadn't completely hidden himself. Sora smiled and walked over to him. She said "Crash, you know I can see you, now come out. You are scaring Danica." He heard Danica mutter, "No, he's not." Sora muttered back "I know, now don't speak till I tell you to" Danica huffed, but gave in and didn't speak.  Sora had reached Crash by now, she poked him. He stood up, and judo flipped her. (A/N I had to have an annabeth in there for you percabeth lovers out there) He heard Danica gasp, but paid her no attention. Sora slipped out of his grasp and they had a practice bout.
