"Aww c'mon, it'll be fun, I promise!" Pola moaned.

"No," Shannon said sternly.

"Aww come ooooooonn,"

"No."

"Come ooooooooonnn?"

"No."

Eeeehhhh?"

"No."

"I thought Kayla was a killjoy with that whole panicking act, but you're tellin' me you're worse? Uurgh," Pola groaned into the air. "Is there nothing I can do to make you come to the prom?"
"No matter how many times you beg and cry, it'll always be a no. I'm not interested," he stated. The duo were eating breakfast together. Pola had a soup filled with berries, while Shannon, a pile of fruits. He absentmindedly chomped on an apple while Pola gave him a miserable glare, pretending he couldn't feel her presence.

"Fine. Hmpf, if we're gonna have to play dirty, then I guess we're gonna have to quit your training," she pouted.

"You're not serious," he groaned.

"Ya uh. No love, no Visionary mag," she turned away.

He stared at her with half-lidded annoyance. "This is just petty."

"If there's nothin' in it for me, then I've got no reason to put effort into it," she replied.

"I... urf, are we really going to talk about this now?" he sighed.

"Talk about what?"

"This whole... liking me... thing," he said, swaying his head with his thoughts.

"Is there something weird about it?" she went half-lidded.

"I'm... not... interested. In following a relationship right now. That's not what I came here to do... and like," he tried to explain.

"Aww, you're sweating it too much. Y'know I'm an independent girl. Low maintenance, high fun factor," she bragged, curling to show herself off. "So you've got a quest for vengeance, why's it kill ya to get a girlfriend at the same time?"

Shannon sighed and turned away. "What kind of teacher dates her student?"

"Whoa whoa, it's not that kinda thing. We're teammates, not teacher student," she snickered.

"You're younger than me."

"And plenty of experience," she smirked.

"You're making this so dang weird," he glared at her. "I'm sorry Pola, but I mean it. I'm not here to make relationships, friends, or anything else. If the magic was something I could physically take, I'd just grab it and be out of here. You're better off considering me not part of your life."
