"We are, thank you," Alex said with a light smile on his face. "Also I heard about what happened earlier...people like those give us trainers a bad name and I apologize for that," he added.

" I agree. I would like to become a trainer myself and my mom said I could." Elisa said with a smile.

"Really, she did?" Taylor asked, surprised.

" She did. I was hoping I could go with you all and sign up at the mountain gym. "Elisa asked. She could always ask her uncle but never knew when he would be back from his trips.

"I don't see why not," Taylor said. "What do you think Alex?"

Elisa hoped Alex would let her come with them since she admired what he and his friends had done togeather. She knew her mom would rest at ease if she knew she was with Alex and his friends.

"I don't see why not," Alex said. He could see that Elisa really wanted to become a trainer, and he also had a feeling that her mother would sleep easily at night with them helping her.

" Thank you so very much. " Elisa said with a smile on her face. She knew her mom wouldn't worry too much now that she would be with Alex and Taylor.

Taylor grinned as well, knowing that Elisa would enjoy her time with them.

Carly was glad that Elisa would be coming with them and knew Dea and Eve were glad too.

Sora was glad to hear that Elisa was joining the party as well, especially since he had a feeling that Taylor had a thing for her, but only time would tell.

Salem was happy that Elisa was joining them and was becoming a trainer. " Is the weather getting better?" He asked.

" It will be better tomorrow. But we'll need to leave early. " She said.

"Today might be a good way for you to say good bye to anyone that you know then," Carly said softly.

" I'll do that. But it won't take me long, since most of my friends have left this town already." Elisa said sadly.

Dea winced lightly when she heard that, remembering Tracy and everyone she left behind herself.

Carly understood how Elisa felt. She had left all her friends behind when she had become a trainer and hardly spoke to any of them.

(timeskip?)

(Sounds like a good idea. )

No matter what she tried, Carly coudn't get to sleep. Sighing lightly, she got out of her bed and went towards the roof, hoping that the cool night air would help calm her nerves. Imagine her surprise when she saw Alex already on the roof...

Elisa was feeling excited for her first trip out of town but was nervous. She decided a glass of milk would calm her nerves.

Alex felt someone watching him and turned around, surprised to see Carly standing there. "Carly?" he asked.

" Couldn't sleep. " Carly said. The cool air felt good and it helped her relax. She still hadn't told Alex that she liked him and knew that eventually she would need to.

"I see. Nervous about meeting your mom again?" Alex asked

" Yeah. It's been so long. I'm afraid I might not recognize her. " Carly said.

"I'm sure you will recognize her. A bond between mother and daughter is extremely strong, or so I've heard."
