Error's eyes slightly widened after glancing at the person who just called Ink. Although Ink could not tell how the situation must go, he approached Blue happily. "Blue!" Ink called back. The other stood confused still. This is too much, I must be right with my suspicions. Blue thought to himself. A few years only passed, to him, it was not enough for someone to get over something they had in the past. He himself knows he had no feelings for Error anymore, but he still wasn't ready to replace him like that. He thought of himself as a coward if he did. Blue sighed infront of Ink, ignoring the other two behind Ink. "About... Last night." Blue spoke, trying to remove the thoughts about them in his head.
Ink cringed at the thought of what happened, his face showed disgust right after he heard it. "Yeah..."

"I hope you didn't mind that we entered your house, uninvited." Blue kept on glancing at Error back and forth for split seconds.

"Oh-no no, it's fine!" Ink smiled. The other two proceeded to enter the room together, they had no paper in the scene anyway.

"Uhm... By the way, why didn't you wait for Dream and I downstairs? I haven't seen you since this morning. Were you at the field?" Asked Blue, leaning towards Ink a little with his voice sounding like a whisper.

"I uh...was late. I overslept." Ink scratched the back of his skull. Chuckling nervously. Blue only smiled back at his friend and giggled.

"We better head outside now, the competition is about to start!" Blue squealed excitedly.

"Competition?" Asked Ink. "Competition for what?"

"It's the-" Blue was cut off

"All students and participants, please proceed to the main entrance, the buses are ready! I repeat, please proceed to the main entrance!" A female teacher spoke through a megaphone, which gathered everyone's attention.
"Oh- no time to lose!" Blue hurried over to the stairs while pulling Ink. Without a second thought, everyone else started to make their way downstairs, including Error and Fell. As they go, Ink and Blue met up with Dream at the entrance. Students were scattered around the area and some were already walking towards the gate, where plenty of buses were parked. "Wait, I'm confused, what's going on, Dream?" Asked Ink.

"Today is the Deadly Escape competition. The first activity for juniors and seniors. It's my first time." Dream answered with a smile, sliding his hand on his bag. Dream wore something different today, and Ink was able to notice.

"You look different. Also, what's up with you and your skirts?"

"It's not a skirt, Ink." Dream laughed softly. "I tend to leap around when in battle and it's difficult when I wear shorts. So I wear long shirts and tie something on my waist." Dream explained. Ink acknowledged his explanation and returned a smile. A few second later, a student approached Dream and told him to enter the juniors' bus. While Ink and Blue rides a different one. The three bid a short good-bye before making their way to the vehicles.

The school managed to bring the freshmen and let them watch the competition but with strict rules and teacher supervision. They are to be kept uninvolved and have a safe environment, that's why they only have sophomores in the building.
The two sat on the first two seats at the front, Ink sat beside the window and Blue beside him. "I wonder what competitions are like. When I gain my powers, will I look as cool as them?" Ink giggled.
"I bet we'll look cool!" Blue giggled also. They sat comfortably on their seats and waited for the vehicle to start.
After a few minutes of waiting, every single student were inside every bus now, and some started to drive, including Ink and Blue's.

Presently, Ink and Blue are gazing outside the window, enjoying the first trip their school has planned with Ink directly looking at the glass and Blue leaning a little to Ink's front. Ink managed to get a grip of himself after what happened last night. He couldn't forget how embarassing he acted in front of everyone, especially Killer and Nightmare. The only two students he swore to never see again. He washed his head with other thoughts about the competition coming up. He felt like he missed some important information, and so he hoped Blue would know a few things about it. "How come I didn't know about today?" He asked Blue.
The other quickly reacted and glanced at him.
