Rock Howard walked up to the door of Mai Shiranui's Los Angeles house and took a deep breath before ringing the doorbell. He had known Mai since he was a child, but he was still nervous about visiting her on his own. After all, Mai was a good friend of his adoptive father, Terry Bogard, and he didn't want to disappoint either of them.When Mai opened the door, he greeted Mai with a warm smile.
"Hey, Mai," Rock said, a little shyly. "Thanks for letting me come over."
lately Rock has wanted to spend more time with her. 

Mai smiled back at Rock, happy to see him again. "Of course, Rock. It's always a pleasure to have you over," she said, motioning for him to come inside. As she closed the door behind him, she couldn't help but notice how much he had grown since she last saw him.
"Is everything okay?" she asked, sensing a hint of hesitation in his voice.
Rock shifted nervously from one foot to the other before answering. "Yeah, everything's fine," he said, trying to sound confident. "I just wanted to spend some time with you, catch up and stuff."
Mai nodded, understanding. She could see that Rock was still a little uncomfortable around women, despite his tough exterior. "Sure, we can hang out and talk about whatever you want," she said, leading him to the living room.
As they sat down on the couch, Rock started to relax a little. He and Mai had always had a good rapport, and he felt comfortable around her despite his shyness.
"Thanks, Mai. I really appreciate it," Rock said, smiling gratefully at her. "I guess I just need to get more comfortable around women. Growing up with only men around me, I feel a little out of my depth sometimes."
Mai nodded sympathetically. "I understand. But you don't have to be nervous around me, Rock. I'm just a person, like anyone else," she said, patting his arm reassuringly.
Rock took a deep breath and tried to relax. "Yeah, I know. It's just that sometimes I worry that I'll say or do something stupid around women," he admitted.
Mai chuckled. "Well, don't worry about that with me. I'm pretty laid-back, and I won't judge you if you slip up," she said, winking at him.
Rock smiled, feeling a little more at ease. "Thanks, Mai. I really appreciate your help," he said, grateful for her understanding.
"Anytime, Rock," Mai said, returning his smile. "Just remember, you're a great guy, and there's nothing to be afraid of when it comes to women. Just be yourself, and everything will work out fine."
Rock nodded, taking Mai's words to heart. "Thanks, Mai. I'll try to remember that," he said, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. He was glad that he had come to see her, and he knew that he could always count on her for good advice. Rock couldn't help but notice how beautiful Mai looked. He had always found her attractive, but now that he was older, he saw her in a new light. As for Mai, she's impressed by his dedication in his fighting career and college but for her Rock Howard is just a good friend. In addition, when she was married, she cheated on her husband with Terry Bogard. Absolutely no one knew that Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui were lovers in the past. Even though since she divorced she has not meet him again.
Mai noticed the look in Rock's eyes and couldn't help but feel a little flattered. She knew that she still had it, even at 34 years old. But she also knew that Rock was much younger than her, and she didn't want to lead him on. "So, how's your fighting career going?" she asked, changing the subject.
Rock launched into a passionate description of his latest training sessions and tournaments, and Mai listened attentively, impressed by his dedication and skill. As he spoke, Mai's mind wandered a little, thinking about her own secret activities outside of fighting. She had been using Tinder to meet men in secret, enjoying the freedom of being single after a long marriage. She knew that no one suspected a thing, and she enjoyed the thrill of keeping it a secret.
But she also knew that she couldn't let herself get too involved with any one person, especially someone like Rock who was much younger and still figuring out his own life. So she listened to his stories and gave him advice, all the while keeping her own secrets hidden away. For now, she was content to just be a good friend to him and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
Rock was glad to have someone like Mai to talk to. He felt a little more confident and relaxed around her, and he knew that he could always count on her for good advice. As they chatted, he couldn't help but notice how comfortable he was around her, even though he had always been nervous around women before.
After a while, Mai offered to make some tea, and Rock gratefully accepted. As she bustled around the kitchen, Rock watched her in admiration. He had always thought of her as a strong and capable woman, and now he saw her as beautiful as well. But he knew that he had to keep his feelings to himself. Mai was his friend, and he didn't want to ruin their relationship by making things awkward.
As they sipped their tea, Mai asked him about his plans for the future. Rock told her that he was thinking about going to college to study business, but he wasn't sure if he was ready to leave his fighting career behind.
Mai listened thoughtfully and gave him some advice. "You can do both, Rock. It's all about balance. You can pursue your passion for fighting while also studying to build a better future for yourself. And who knows? Maybe you'll find a way to combine the two and create something amazing."
Rock nodded, feeling grateful for her wisdom. He knew that he had a lot to learn about life, but he was glad to have Mai by his side to guide him.
As the evening wore on, Rock realized that he had stayed longer than he had intended. He thanked Mai for her hospitality and promised to come back soon.
Mai smiled warmly at him. "Anytime, Rock. You're always welcome here," she said, giving him a hug.
Rock felt a rush of warmth and happiness as he hugged her back. He knew that he had found a true friend in Mai, and he was grateful for her presence in his life. As he walked out the door and into the warm Los Angeles night, he felt a sense of purpose and direction. He knew that he had a lot to learn and a lot of growing to do, but he was ready for whatever the future held.
Four months have passed and an unexpected event has happened. Terry Bogard has slapped Mai Shiranui's butt in public and she reported him to the police. Terry Bogard is Rock Howard's adoptive father but is now being held in jail and awaiting to be tried before the court for his crimes. As soon as Rock found out Terry is in jail, he went to Mai's house

Rock arrived at Mai's house feeling confused and angry. He couldn't believe that Terry, his adoptive father and mentor, had done something so stupid and disrespectful. But he also couldn't believe that Mai had reported him to the police. He had always thought of her as a friend, but now he wasn't sure what to think.

As he approached her door, he took a deep breath and rang the bell. Mai answered the door with a cautious look on her face.

"Hey, Mai. Can we talk?" Rock asked, trying to keep his voice calm.

Mai nodded and gestured for him to come inside. They sat down on the couch, and Rock started to speak.

"What happened, Mai? Why did you report Terry to the police?" he asked, his voice tinged with anger.

Mai sighed and looked down at her hands. "Rock, I'm sorry. I didn't want to cause trouble, but Terry crossed a line. He slapped my butt in public, and it was humiliating," she explained.

Rock's face turned red with anger. "I can't believe he would do something like that. He's always been respectful towards women," he said, his voice shaking with emotion.

Mai nodded. "I know, that's why it was such a shock. But I couldn't just let it go. It was wrong, and he needed to be held accountable," she said, her voice firm.

Rock shook his head. "I understand that, but you could have talked to him about it. He's my dad, and he's done a lot for me. Now he's in jail because of this," he said, his voice rising.
Mai put a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry, Rock. I didn't want things to turn out like this. But Terry needs to face the consequences of his actions. And you need to understand that what he did was wrong," she said, her tone gentle but firm.
Rock took a deep breath and nodded. "I know. But it's just hard to see him like this. He's always been there for me, and now he's in jail," he said, his voice shaking with emotion.
Mai gave him a sympathetic smile. "I understand, Rock. It's never easy to see someone you care about in trouble. But you need to remember that he's responsible for his own actions. And you can't let this affect your own life and your own goals," she said, her voice reassuring.

Rock nodded, feeling a little better. "Thanks, Mai. I appreciate your honesty. And I'm sorry for getting angry earlier," he said, feeling a sense of relief.

Mai smiled. "No problem, Rock. I understand how you feel. Just remember that things will get better, and you can always count on me for support," she said, patting his arm gently.

Rock smiled back at her, feeling grateful for her friendship. "Thanks, Mai. You're a good friend," he said, before getting up to leave. As he walked out the door, he couldn't help but feel a sense of uncertainty about his future, and his relationship with Terry. But he knew that he could always count on Mai to be there for him, no matter what.
After that Rock went to visit Terry in jail. the cops let Rock have a chat with his adoptive father. Despite being in prison Terry was carefree
Rock sat down across from Terry, staring at him with a mix of anger and confusion. He couldn't believe that Terry had done something so stupid and reckless, and he couldn't understand why he would risk everything he had for a momentary thrill.
"Terry, what the hell were you thinking?" Rock asked, his voice filled with frustration.

Terry shrugged, a small smile playing at the corners of his lips. "Ah, you know me, Rock. I'm a wild card. Sometimes I just can't resist the urge to do something crazy," he said, his voice laced with amusement.
Rock shook his head, unable to believe how carefree Terry seemed in the face of such a serious situation. "Do you have any idea what you've done? You could go to prison for years, Terry. And what about Mai? You've ruined her reputation and her life."

Terry's expression softened a little at the mention of Mai's name. "I know, Rock. I messed up. I shouldn't have done it. But you have to understand, I've always been impulsive. It's part of who I am," he said, his voice tinged with regret.

Rock sighed, feeling torn between his loyalty to Terry and his disgust at what he had done. "I do understand, Terry. But that doesn't excuse what you did. You need to take responsibility for your actions and try to make things right," he said, trying to sound firm.

Terry nodded, looking slightly more serious. "I know, Rock. And I will. I'll do whatever it takes to make things right with Mai and to make sure that you're not hurt by this," he said, his voice sincere.

Rock nodded, feeling a little reassured. He knew that Terry had a good heart, despite his flaws, and he hoped that he would be able to make things right in the end. But for now, all he could do was wait and see what the future held.
Terry Bogard really don't want Rock Howard feels hurt by this, so he asked police to allow him make a phone call to Mai Shiranui. the Police said yes to him then Terry Bogard make the call
Terry took a deep breath before dialing Mai's number. He knew he had a lot to apologize for and he hoped that she would be willing to listen to him.
After a few rings, Mai picked up the phone. "Hello?" she said, her voice cold and distant.
"Mai, it's Terry," he said, trying to keep his voice steady.
There was a long pause on the other end of the line before Mai spoke again. "What do you want, Terry?" she asked, her voice still cold.
"I just wanted to apologize for what happened," Terry said, his heart heavy with regret. "I never meant to hurt you, and I'm sorry that I did."
Mai sighed heavily. "Apologies aren't going to change what happened, Terry," she said, her voice softening just a little. "You crossed a line, and now you have to face the consequences."
"I know," Terry said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I just don't want Rock to be hurt by this. He's already been through so much in his life, and I don't want him to lose faith in me."

There was a long pause before Mai spoke again. "Rock is a strong young man, Terry," she said, her voice softening even more. "He'll get through this, and so will you. But you have to take responsibility for your actions."

"I know," Terry said again, his voice heavy with emotion. "I just wanted to make things right between us, as much as I can." He paused to make sure no one was listening to his conversation.
"We all deserve a second chance, Mai. you cheated to your husband and I didn't say a single word, Don't forget we were lovers, If you want, don't do it for me, but think about Rock's well-being" Terry said 
There was a long silence on the other end of the line, and Terry feared that he had gone too far. He regretted mentioning Mai's infidelity, but he felt that he had to say something to make her understand how much he cared about Rock.

Finally, Mai spoke again, her voice barely above a whisper. "You're right, Terry," she said. "I shouldn't have cheated on my husband, and I'm sorry for what I did. But that doesn't excuse what you did to me. You hurt me, Terry, and I can't just forget about that."

"I understand," Terry said, his voice heavy with sadness. "I just want to make things right between us, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to earn your forgiveness."

There was another long pause before Mai spoke again. "I appreciate your sincerity, Terry," she said, her voice softening a little. "But forgiveness is something that has to come from the heart. I need time to think about what you've said, and whether or not I'm ready to forgive you."
"I understand," Terry said, his heart sinking. "I just hope that one day you can find it in your heart to forgive me."

"I hope so too," Mai said, her voice softening a little more. "For Rock's sake, if nothing else."

Terry felt a small glimmer of hope. Maybe, just maybe, there was a chance for him to make things right with Mai and with Rock. He vowed to do everything in his power to make amends for what he had done, no matter how long it took.
"Well, I told Rock to go live with my ex-girlfriend, Blue Mary. She helped me take care of him when he was a child. She's almost like his adoptive mother." Terry said
Mai was surprised to hear Terry's plan. "Are you sure that's the right decision, Terry?" she asked, her voice tinged with concern. "Rock may feel like he's being abandoned again."

"I know, Mai, but I think it's for the best," Terry replied. "Blue Mary is a good person, and she'll take care of Rock like he's her own son. Plus, I don't want him to be around me right now. I need to face the consequences of my actions, and I don't want him to see me like this."

Mai thought about it for a moment before responding. "Okay, Terry, if you think it's for the best," she said, her voice softening again. "But you need to make things right with Rock eventually. He's your son, and he loves you. He deserves to hear the truth from you and to know that you're sorry."

Terry nodded. "I will, Mai. I promise," he said, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. "Thank you for understanding."

Mai sighed. "I'm not saying that I forgive you, Terry," she said, her voice firm again. "But I do understand where you're coming from. And I hope that you can make things right with Rock and with yourself."

"I will, Mai," Terry said again, his voice filled with determination. "I'll do whatever it takes to make things right."
"How have you been?" Terry said. He felt that he was slowly beginning to regain Mai's confidence.
"I've been holding up," Mai said with a sigh. "It's been a tough few months, but I'm trying to move forward."

"I understand," Terry said. "I'm here for you, if you need anything."

There was a long pause before Mai spoke again. "Thank you, Terry," she said, her voice softening. "I appreciate that."

"I just want you to know that I'm truly sorry for what I did," Terry said, his voice earnest. "I never meant to hurt you, and I understand if you can't forgive me. But I hope that someday, we can put this behind us and move on."

Mai was quiet for a moment, and Terry worried that he had pushed too hard. But then she spoke, her voice gentle. "I don't know if I can ever fully forgive you, Terry," she said. "But I'm willing to try. For Rock's sake, if nothing else."

Terry felt a weight lift from his shoulders. "Thank you, Mai," he said. "I won't let you down again."
"Speaking of Rock... Maybe you could try spending more time with Rock. He has a certain fear when he has to talk to women. do you think you can do it?" Terry said to Mai Shiranui, a bit worried since now that he's in jail he can't advise Rock properly about women.

Mai paused for a moment before responding. "I can try," she said, her voice softening. "But I can't promise anything. I don't want to make things worse for him."

"I understand," Terry said, feeling a sense of relief that Mai was willing to help. "Thank you, Mai. I really appreciate it."

There was a moment of silence before Mai spoke again. "Terry, I need to go now," she said. "But I'm glad we had this conversation. I hope you take responsibility for what you've done."

"I will," Terry said, his voice filled with sincerity. "Thank you again, Mai. Take care."

With that, Mai hung up the phone, leaving Terry alone with his thoughts. He knew he had a long road ahead of him, but he was determined to make things right, not just for himself, but for Rock too.
After a week, Mai won one of her most difficult fights and that victory allowed her to reach the first place in the tournament leaderboard. Rock Howard approached Mai Shiranui to congratulate her.
"Congratulations on your victory, Mai," Rock said, giving her a small smile.

Mai turned to face him, surprised to see him there. "Thank you, Rock," she said, returning the smile. "I didn't expect to see you here."

"I wanted to come and congratulate you," Rock said, his voice a little quieter than usual.

Mai nodded, her smile softening. "Thank you, Rock. That means a lot to me." She paused for a moment before continuing. "Terry mentioned that you might need some help talking to women. Is that true?"

Rock blushed a little, feeling embarrassed. "Yeah, I... I'm not very good at it," he admitted.

Mai gave him a reassuring smile. "That's okay, Rock. Talking to women can be difficult sometimes, especially if you're not used to it. But I'm happy to help you if you need it."

Rock looked up at her, a small smile playing at his lips. "Thanks, Mai. I appreciate it."

Mai patted him on the back. "No problem, Rock. Just remember, it's all about being confident and respectful. Treat women like you would want to be treated, and you'll do just fine."
"Okay thanks for that advice. I was wondering we could celebrate your victory at your house. What do you think?" Rock asked in a shy way
Mai smiled at Rock's suggestion. "Sure, that sounds like a great idea. But let me warn you, my parties can get pretty wild," she said with a mischievous glint in her eye.
Rock chuckled nervously. "I'm sure I can handle it," he said, trying to hide his own nervousness.

Mai put a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, Rock. I'll make sure you have a good time," she said with a smile.

Rock smiled back at her, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. Maybe spending more time with Mai wouldn't be so bad after all.
Mai is a very cheerful and temperamental woman. She tends to also be somewhat of an airhead and admires any kind of beauty or attractiveness, which sometimes comes across as being vain. 
Mai smiled warmly at Rock. "Of course, Rock! I'd love to celebrate with you and my friends," she said, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "But I have to warn you, my place might be a bit messy right now. I've been so busy with the tournament that I haven't had much time to tidy up."

Rock shrugged. "That's okay, Mai. I'm not too picky," he said with a grin.
Mai chuckled. "Well, in that case, come on over! I'll make us some drinks and we can relax and have some fun."
As they made their way to Mai's house, Rock couldn't help but feel a bit nervous around her. He had always admired her beauty and her fighting skills, but he had never really spent much time alone with her before.
In addition to Rock, Chizuru Kagura and her sister Maki Kagura arrived at the celebration. Maki is Mai's best friend, Shingo Yabuki also arrived, he is not Mai's friend but he is an acquaintance of Chizuru.
As they settled in, Mai made them some delicious cocktails and they all chatted and laughed, enjoying each other's company. Rock found himself feeling more and more comfortable around Mai, as he got to know her better and saw that she wasn't just a beautiful fighter, but also a kind and fun person.

At one point, Shingo mentioned that he had been practicing some new fighting techniques and challenged Rock to a friendly sparring match. Rock accepted the challenge and the two of them stepped outside to the backyard.

The fight was intense and fast-paced, with both fighters landing some solid hits. But in the end, Rock emerged as the winner, much to his surprise and delight. Mai and the others cheered him on and congratulated him on his victory.

"Hey, mai, you hadn't told me that Terry's son was so strong. he has impressed me." Maki said to Mai

Mai grinned. "Rock has definitely inherited his father's fighting spirit and talent," she said, looking at Rock with pride. "I'm glad you guys got to see what he's capable of."

Rock blushed at the compliments. "Thanks, Mai. That means a lot coming from you and your friends," he said, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

As the night went on, they continued to enjoy each other's company, sharing stories and laughing together. Rock felt grateful for the opportunity to spend time with such amazing people, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging among them.

Eventually, as the night drew to a close, Mai turned to Rock and said, "Thanks for coming, Rock. I had a really great time with you tonight."

Rock smiled. "Me too, Mai. Thanks for inviting me," he said, feeling a newfound confidence around her.

As he walked home that night, Rock couldn't help but feel grateful for the new friends he had made and the experiences he had shared with them. He felt more confident in himself and his abilities, and he knew that he had Mai and the others to thank for that.
Terry's friends agreed that they would visit him in jail, that way Rock wouldn't have to and could focus more on his own goals. Kyo Kusanagi would visit him on Mondays, Shingo Yabuki would visit him on Tuesdays, Chizuru Kagura would visit him on Wednesdays and Mai Shiranui would visit him on Thursdays, she wasn't too sure but she did it more for Rock's own well-being. Thursday has arrived and Mai would go to visit him in jail, Terry was not expecting this.

As Mai arrived at the jail, she was informed of the visitation rules and protocol before being escorted to Terry's cell. Terry was surprised and pleased to see her.

"Mai, what are you doing here?" Terry asked, a smile spreading across his face.

"I'm here to visit you, Terry. You didn't think I'd leave you hanging, did you?" Mai replied, her voice filled with warmth and concern.

Terry chuckled. "Well, I wasn't sure. I know you've got a lot going on with the tournament and all."

Mai shook her head. "Don't be silly, Terry. You're our friend and we're here to support you, no matter what. How have you been holding up?"

Terry sighed. "It's not exactly the Ritz in here, but I'm hanging in there. It's been tough being away from Rock and my other friends, but I'm grateful for the visits."

Mai nodded sympathetically. "I can only imagine. But we'll do whatever we can to help you get through this.
"I thought you were still mad at what I did..." Terry said to her

Mai smiled at him warmly. "I was upset, Terry, but I could never stay mad at you forever," she said. "Besides, I know you're not a bad person. You just made a mistake, and we all do that from time to time."

Terry's face softened at her words. "Thanks, Mai. It means a lot to hear you say that," he said.

Mai sat down across from him and they began to catch up on each other's lives. Terry asked about the tournament and how Mai was doing, and Mai shared some of her recent victories and challenges. They talked for a while, laughing and joking as they always did, and for a brief moment, it felt like old times.

But then the reality of Terry's situation set in, and Mai's heart grew heavy. "Terry, I wish there was something I could do to help you," she said, her voice softening.

Terry shook his head. "Don't worry about me, Mai. I'll be fine," he said, trying to sound optimistic. "I just need to serve my time and then I'll be back out there, fighting again."

Mai looked at him with concern. "But what about Rock? He's still so young, and he needs his father," she said.

Terry sighed. "I know, Mai. It's one of the things that keeps me up at night. But I've already talked to Rock, and I've made arrangements for him to stay with Blue Mary while I'm gone," he said.

Mai nodded, understanding. "That was really thoughtful of you, Terry. I'm sure Rock will be in good hands with her," she said.
Terry smiled at her. "Yeah, Blue Mary's a great woman. She practically raised Rock when he was a kid, so I know he'll be okay with her," he said.
Mai smiled back, feeling a sense of relief. "Well, that's good to hear," she said.
As their conversation continued, Mai couldn't help but feel grateful for the time she spent with Terry. Despite his mistakes, she knew that he was a good person at heart, and she would always be there for him, no matter what.
"do you know if rock has a girlfriend? You know that he is somewhat shy and he doesn't usually tell me much" Terry asked to Mai
Mai shook her head. "No, he hasn't mentioned anything about having a girlfriend to me either. But I wouldn't worry too much about it, Terry. He's still young and has plenty of time to find someone special. Plus, with his good looks and fighting skills, I'm sure he'll have no shortage of admirers," she said with a smile.
Terry chuckled. "Yeah, I suppose you're right. I just want him to be happy, you know? And to have someone to share his life with," he said.
Mai nodded understandingly. "I know, Terry. But Rock is a strong and capable young man. I'm sure he'll find love when the time is right," she said reassuringly.
Terry smiled gratefully. "Thanks, Mai. You always know just what to say," he said.
Mai smiled back. "That's what friends are for," she said.
the word friends kept ringing in Terry's mind. Mai and Terry were something more than that, they were lovers for a long time, even Terry thought she was going to get divorced so he can be her boyfriend. but Mai only broke the trust of her husband to get physically involved with Terry.  She didn't get emotionally involved with him at all. Mai Shiranui was able to get a divorce and her husband never found out about the adultery.
