Emily didn't have any illusions that she would get a real work-out while teaching Aileen, so she had decided to come here this morning and go through a solo workout. She was wearing her martial arts uniform, the white shirt and pants that some people referred to as "pajamas". She had altered hers by removing the sleeves, an idea she had gotten from seeing some of the sleeveless uniforms in the movie The Karate Kid. She liked the feeling of extra freedom for her arms that the lack of sleeves provided. Since she had removed the sleeves, she had taken to referring to the shirt jokingly as her "husband-beater". She had tied a white headband featuring a yin-yang symbol around her forehead to keep sweat and her long hair out of her eyes, and her feet were bare. A black belt with three gold stripes near one end completed her outfit and indicated her rank as Third Dan. She planned to replace that belt soon with a new one, as she was just two weeks away from testing for the rank of Fourth Dan. It had been three years since she last advanced in rank, and she had been training hard ever since.
Emily had expected the gym to be empty at this early hour, but instead she found it occupied by three women doing various activities and a man heading for the hot tubs. She thought she recognized one of the women as the multicolored fish girl her father had been dancing with the night before. "I'm not too late for the party, am I?" she called out upon seeing all the people.
