It was Motoko long awaited vacation. On her first day off, she decided to go pool side. She arrived at the pool with her lounge chair and drink. She looked out at the pool. Which was empty. “This is perfect.” She thought. ‘I'll relax in the sun. Then go for a swim.” Motoko unpacked her stuff and opened up her lounge chair under a nice shady umbrella. She sat down and lounged back. After an hour of sun bathing she climbed out of her lounge chair and headed into the pool. Off the diving she jumped into the deepest part of the pool and began to swim laps.

Jason had taken a summer job at the Franzetti bakery in order to bulk up. He was ashamed of his small, thin physique, and wanted a job where he would have a chance to get some exercise. At the same time, he didn't want to be out sweating during the hottest months of the year. He thought that kneading bread dough would be a good work out.

“So you’re going to go with me right? I mean let’s face it….you could use the exercise” Christie said with a half chuckle.

“Yea…yeah, I guess so” Ashley said, unsure of herself. She tried to ignore the comment Christie had just made about her.

“Good! I’ll be over in about an hour, and be ready to work that body into shape…’cause you need it, ok?” said Christie

“Fine, bye” and Ashley hung up the phone angrily.

Second, someone would have to be both highly motivated and certifiably insane to try to spy on the test runs.
