"Though I never heard of a case where an empath is so in tune with only Bishies," Alex said as he thought about it for a few seconds before shrugging lightly and taking a bite to eat of breakfast. Once swallowing, he continued to say that it didn't change who she was, at least not to him before thanking Lynn for an excellent breakfast.

" Yes thank you." Deanna and the others said to their hostess.For some reason Lynn's cinnamon rolls tasted very much like her mom's had.

The others nodded as well, especially since they enjoyed the meal themselves. Lynn was blushing lightly at the praise and said it wasn't much, and had only followed the advice that Mary had given her.

"Do you know what time the gym opens?" Elisa asked feeling really excited about becoming a trainer.

"It should be opening in a few moments, at least that's what I think. I usually see them opening right before I head to the market," Lynn replied. "You want to see if Mary is your mother still, don't you?" she asked after a few seconds.

" I do. " Carly said. " I know it isn't going to be easy seeing her like this. " She added.

Alex nodded, knowing what Carly was going through, remembering the talk that they had.

" See you all later !" Lynn said. " I'll keep an eye on Ruby while you are gone Lisa. " She added.

"Thanks Lynn," Elisa said in response. She had checked in on Ruby before heading out and had seen that the crimson wearing Bishie was sleeping soundly.

Mary was looking forward to today and hoped there would be people coming in there had been stories of two trainers that had saved a Bishie from the storm the night before and wanted to meet them.

(timeskip to the gang inside the gym?)

( sounds good to me. )

(alright)

Alex held the first door open for everyone else, letting them all get out of the snow and cold. Besides Yugito, all of Alex's Bishies had wanted to stay in their bishieballs, which he didn't blame them. It was cold.

" Welcome! I'm Mary. How may I help you today ? " She asked and was sort of surprised to see a girl who looked like her. Mary didn't think she had any children that age and decided that it was just a coincidence.

"We were wondering if we could enroll Elisa here as a Bishie Trainer," Taylor said as a reply, not noticing the look of surprise that Mary gave Carly as she came through the door. However, both Alex and Carly, herself, noticed the look in it and wondered if she was starting to remember who she was before the personality of Mary was superseded upon her psyche.

" That's wonderful. Here's the paperwork you need to fill out dear. Then I'll give you your Bishie balls and Bishidex. You all are in luck.Your bishiedexs have new software that is available for download and we have wifi. " Mary said.

"Oh?" Alex asked, curious as to what she meant as he kept an eye on Carly.

Elisa took the pile of papers over to a small table as Taylor followed her, just in case she had some questions.

" The new software has improved communication software and an expanded database on the Bishies known. " Mary added with a smile.

Carly was doing her best not to cry and tried to smile. " That sounds really interesting. I know in some areas communication is hard. " She said.

"Really now? That's great to hear," Alex said as he discreetly took Carly's hand into his own and squeezed it lightly as he noticed that she was about to cry since she was close to her mother and yet so far away.

He knew that Yugito saw it, especially when a light grin came on her face. Thankfully, she knew that now wasn't the time to say anything about it though. Mentally thanking her for not making a scene, he had a feeling that he was going to have to fight here sometime in the near future. Though a thought did pass his mind: how did Carly's mother get here...

Carly gave a small smile to Alex and was glad he was here. " Thank you so much Mary for the information. " She said knowing that this woman didn't remember her or Deanna at all.

"You're welcome," Mary said. "Can I ask you two a question?" she asked.

" Sure. " Carly said and wondered what the question might be.

"I've heard that two people were able to save a female Bishie last night. Were those two at the table the ones who saved her?" Mary asked.

" They were. And they arrived right on time too. " Deanna said remembering what Lynn had told them at breakfast.

Mary was surprised to see another female that looked a lot like herself who answered her question. "That's good to hear. I would hate to see a Bishie die because someone couldn't get to him or her in time of need," she said before she saw Elisa, if she remembered the name correctly, hand over the paperwork. Looking it over, Mary nodded lightly. "Everything seems to be in working order Elisa. All I need from you now is a small amount of your blood," she said.
