Zeke, Miguel, Aisha, and Hawk stretched together on the mats, the usual banter filling the room as they loosened up before training. Zeke listened as Miguel talked about his upcoming date with Sam, trying to figure out the perfect place to take her.

"I need somewhere romantic," Miguel said, stretching his arms above his head. "But not too romantic, you know?"

Hawk, ever the wildcard, suggested, "You could take her to get tattoos."

Miguel gave him a confused look. "What?"

Grinning, Hawk pulled off his shirt, revealing a large tattoo of a hawk spread across his back. "I know a guy. Just hooked me up with this bad boy."

The others reacted with a mix of awe and surprise.

"Oh, shit," Aisha said, wide-eyed.

Zeke, impressed, added, "That is badass, man."

"Right?" Hawk beamed, clearly proud of his new ink. "14 hours in the chair."

Zeke nodded, admiring the tattoo. "You gotta hook me up with your tattoo guy."

"You know it," Hawk said with a smirk.

Aisha, always the voice of reason, asked, "Wait, are your parents okay with that?"

Hawk shrugged nonchalantly. "Oh, they have no idea. Definitely going to have to wear a T-shirt until college. Probably longer. Please don't tell them."

Miguel, still focused on his date dilemma, asked, "Uh, any other suggestions?"

Aisha hesitated. "Don't look at me. Sam and I used to be friends...we're not anymore."

Miguel looked at her, almost pleading. "Okay, but I need your help."

Aisha sighed, giving in. "Fine, um... I know that she likes chocolates and astronomy."

Miguel nodded thoughtfully. "I could work with that."

Zeke chimed in, amused, "Chocolate and astronomy? Sounds like a winning combo."

Miguel then turned to Zeke. "Where do you and Moon go for dates?"

Zeke thought for a moment. "I took her to the water park the other day. That was fun."

Miguel raised an eyebrow. "You say this as if we have as much money as you."

Zeke laughed, realizing the truth in Miguel's words. "Good point. But first dates shouldn't be complicated. Just take her mini golfing or something like that."

Miguel considered the idea. "Okay, I can see about that."

Suddenly, a loud shout erupted from Johnny's office, drawing everyone's attention.

"Banned? What are you talking about? No, you don't ban me. I'll ban you!" Johnny's voice boomed through the walls.

Miguel quickly stood up. "I'm gonna go see what's going on."

As Miguel left, Hawk turned to Zeke, curious. "So, how are things going with Moon?"

Zeke shrugged, a slight smile playing on his lips. "They're alright. We've been dating for most of the year. Took her to the water park last week."

Hawk leaned in, interested. "Nice. Anything exciting happen?"

Zeke's expression darkened slightly as he recalled the incident after their water park date. "Yeah, actually...something did happen."

Last Week

The sun had begun to set as Zeke and Moon left the water park, the sky painted with hues of orange and pink. They were laughing, their hands intertwined, as they walked through the parking lot toward Zeke's car. The day had been fun, filled with rides, games, and the thrill of just being together.
