I awoke to someone jabbing their nails into my skin. I jerked upward and found Erica standing there in... casual clothing? "Ow, Erica what are you doing here?" I asked yawning. She smiled and said, "I was thinking since we have 2 days until the mission me and you could..." She stopped and looked down at her feet. "What?" I asked. She shook her head ferociously and finally said "That me and you could spend some time together" She turned away blushing. I myself was also blushing and I walked over to Erica and said "I'd love that." She looked over and smiled. "Thanks," She said and gave me a quick kiss and said. "Hurry up and get dressed Ben" She walked out of my room leaving me smiling like a maniac

"This is your idea of spending time together?" I groaned. Erica had brought me down to the target range to spend "some time with me". I was a terrible shot but Erica somehow thought that she could help me improve. "Erica I don't really know if this will work," I said. Erica rolled her eyes and said "Ben honestly you've got to have more faith in yourself" I smiled at her and she returned it. I pulled out a Glock pistol and prepared to aim it when Erica stopped me. "Ben your posture is all wrong and your hands are shaking" She walked over to me and moved my arms and legs into new positions. "Now breath and clear your mind," She said. I took a deep breath and cleared my mind. "Now look toward your target and aim then fire" I did just that and when I pulled the trigger I hit a bullseye! "Wow!" I said excitedly. Erica smiled and said "See what a little adjustment can do?" I rolled my eyes and returned to firing hitting the target almost every time. On my last round, I was stopped by Erica who gave me a quick kiss. I blushed profoundly and said "What was that for?" She laughed and said "You look so cute when you're trying to focus" I smiled endearingly.

We walked back from the target range in hood spirits. Erica had fixed my aim and now I was actually a decent shot. "Maybe you should be the teacher next year," I said jokingly. Erica laughed at that and intertwined her hands with mine. We arrived back at the dorms and Erica to my disappointment had to head back to her dorm. We said our goodbyes and went back to our separate dorms.

I walked into my dorm to find Trixie Hale standing smiling at me. "How was your date?" She said smiling. I blushed and turned my head away to try to hide it. "That wasn't a date. Erica was just improving my aim" I said. I wasn't technically lying because me and Erica weren't officially dating yet. Trixie Hale smirked and said, "Ben, I know my sister and I know when she's happy and that is when she's around you." I turned even redder than I already was. "And I want the best for my sister and from what it looks like you are the best for her" I smiled and responded, "Thanks I just want her to be happy." Trixie walked toward me and gave me a hug. "Just so you know if you hurt her I will kill you," She said trying to sound serious but failing. I laughed and said "Wouldn't dream of it"
