As she gets ready to fight Joaquin, Saroya takes off her onesie and into her tough girl clothes. They even include studs! She opens her door and marches to her dad.
"I'mma need you to drive me somewhere real quickT"
"Foh" he exclaimed. She knew there was no reason to argue with him, so she stormed out of her home. After miles of endless walking, she collapsed. A small figure appeared by the desert highway. A wild Monte! Sporting a green hat, it cheerfully jogged down the highway and saw Saroya laying on the ground.
"My gosh, are you okay?!" he asked and she weakly moaned. She looked up and saw him as he gave a helping hand. "Thank you - I appreciate it."
"Do you happen to know where this location is at?" she asked but he shook his head 'no'.
"Sorry, I'm not from this area - you see, I jogged here from the east coast. Took only 30 minutes; I get a lot of practice back home!" She looked at him in disbelief

"Hmm well...okay then!" What did this wild boy have to gain by lying?
"I'm still pretty charged up...and you look beat up. What if I carried you to where you wanna go?"
Saroya looked at him and knew such an offer would be impossible to achieve.
"Let's just walk instead."
To be continued.
