Sally quickly returned to the scene (which was still at the beach) with two very delicious ice cream cones, both with very generous servings. One was brown, and thus chocolate, whilst the other is pale yellow. This one was Banana flavoured. "What took you so long?" Sally jokingly asked, fully aware that Moria could not go anywhere as fast as her. She offered Moria the choice of ice-creams.
A day too relaxing

- Start date
She smiled lightly. "You pick I'm not picky." She said with a light smile. "So tell me what's the longest you ever stayed up?" She asked arching her eyebrow. She knew the girl did tend to overuse her super speed since she was constantly dashing around. Moria knew that could drain her energy too much and cause sleepiness and a want to sleep more then the average human.
Sally gave Moria the chocolate flavoured ice cream cone, then licked her other one. She then replied "You'll never guess... about eight hours." She paused slightly to allow Moria to take this in. "After that, though, I slept for 13 hours."
She looked at her... "That's bad... We need to work on your staying awake skills. The longest I stayed up was 72 hours straight, your older you should be able to match that." She looked at this girl licking the chocolate flavored ice cream. "You need much training, I'll train you." She said more as a delclaration then a question or a offer.
Sally blinked. She said "Alright, but remember that I use up the energy I need really quickly. You said that yourself." Sally then licked her ice-cream some more. "I really think you should train me more on how to conserve my energy." Of course, I doubt that'll work either
"Yeah, even if you do run super fast you need to learn to add more energy into your body so you don't tire too quickly. Sugar is good for bursts of energy, also fats burn longer and are stored for energy. It's a good idea to think about a change in diet. Then let's see, sleeping only 8-10 hours it gives you time to store up new energy. But we still need you to be able to stay up 42 hours at the least." Moria said thinking... "Also you need to stop overusing your power, I mean if it came to a battle you might not have enough energy to move quick enough because of you constantly using it."
Sally stared at Moria. "Wait, wait... slow down." She paused for a few seconds. "You want ME get LESS sleep and stay up LONGER?" She was not looking for answers, for she already knew them... she was just suprised. "How about we just take this one step at a time, ok?" This is going to be harder than I thought, isn't it?
"Yes, it's important that you get less sleep so you don't tired quickly and more awake time so you get used to awakening. We'll start with adding one hour to your day then keep taking away bone hour until you can stay up all twenty four hours if you want to. That's the main goal since it's important to be able to stay up longer then usual because if something comes up and your too tired then your useless because your sleeping." She said a bit frank but kindly. "So we need to do this fast but not too fast so we don't overtire you."
Sally yawned during the middle of Moria's speech. So much information. And it was getting quite boring. Sally decided not to say that to avoid offending her. "That sounds good, but I'll probably need an alarm clock. Good thing I packed one." She gave a big grin, a little childish one, but a grin nonetheless. "I'll start by trying to stay up for eight hours and getting twelve hours of sleep."
Ivan was laying nearby on a beach towel in his black swimming trunks. His regular glasses (made for the purpose of looking cool.) were replaced with a pair of shades. He reached into the ice chest he was carting around and got some ice cream from it. Ah... A day at the beach with strawberry ice cream... It's pretty hot out for winter. Ivan rarely showed up for class. Not that anyone would mind; Only a few people had met him and no one really knew him yet.
He overheard a couple of girls talking about how one of them had to save her energy, wake up earlier, eat more, etc. Ivan chuckled. Apparently gifted people had the same problems that normal people did. He finished his ice cream and got a soda from his ice chest. It was a beautiful day, and having two girls nearby seemed to enhance it.
