"Wait... you want to make a deal with ME??" Selena said, concerned at Poppy's words.

"Yeah, not I'm the way you think though."  Poppy said.

"What exactly do you mean." Selena said, looking at Poppy.

"I want your help with something." Poppy said.

"Which is..?" Selena asked.

"Look, I'll help you maintain your career against those people, if you swear to always help me when I ask." Poppy said, with a smirk on her face.

Selena thinks for a moment.

"I mean I don't know, what if they succeed even without you helping them??" Selena asked in concern and fear.

Poppy uses her future powers.

"Trust me, they won't."  Poppy said, reassuring Selena.

"Are you sure?" Selena asked.

"Positive." Poppy said.

Selena looks at Poppy again.

"Deal." Selena said.

Selena reaches out for a handshake.

Poppy grabs Selena's hand and does a handshake with her fingers crossed behind her back.

"Nice doing business with you." Poppy said, with a small smile on her face, almost seeming genuine.

"You too, I guess." Selena said, taking her hand back and holding her other arm with it.

"So anyway, you're dating Chris Summers?"  Poppy asked.

"Yeah, he's such a great boyfriend too, for example he gave me some flowers today!" Selena said.

"Aw really, that's so sweet." Poppy said.

"Yeah." Selena said.

Poppy and Selena sit in silence for a few minutes.

"Well, I think I'm going to sulk in my room." Selena said.

Selena walks out of Poppy's room.

Jade sees Selena walking out and goes into Poppy's room.

"Did it work, did she manage to convince Selena?" Jade thought to herself as she heads into Poppy's room.

Poppy hears Jade coming into her room but ignores her.

"Poppy, so how did it go with Selena?" Jade asked.

Poppy looks back up at Jade.

"It didn't work, but that's alright." Poppy said.

"It didn't? Well maybe we can try again and-" Jade said, before being interrupted.

Poppy puts a hand in Jade's face.

"Maybe later on, but I have more important things to do." Poppy said, interrupting Jade.

Jade looks sad at first before she remembers something.

"Well, you tried your best, I can't blame you for that." Jade said putting a hand on Poppy's shoulder.

Poppy grabs Jade's hand aggressively and pulls it off her shoulder.

Jade smiles and walks out.

"No idea what she's planning, but I don't like it." Poppy said inside her head.

Poppy sighs.

"Well doesn't matter anyway." Poppy said out loud.

Meanwhile with Zero.
