It had been a week since Allie gave you the orange battleball. You were extremely tense, and the Noobs noticed that.
"Uh, what's up, (Y/N)?" Kevin asked you on a Tuesday morning.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" You screamed, startled, and threw a book at him.
"(Y/N)?! WHAT THE HELL?!" Allie yelled, as Kevin doubled over.
"Sorry. I've just been really, really, tense lately." You answered, biting your lip.
"I wonder why." Allie said through gritted teeth.
Turns out two of Kevin's braces got knocked out and so did three of his teeth. "Jesus. You look like you played two games of hockey." Allie muttered.
.....
Later in the halls, you looked at your battleball in your satchel. It glowed so mysteriously, like it was beckoning you. You shook that off and stood beside Shope, who was waiting for Tyler with Kevin, Allie, and Roach.
"Where's Tyler now? Talkin' to his sweetheart?" You asked Shope nonchalantly.
"Yep. He definitely had much more confidence this time." Shope answered, gesturing to a super-confident Tyler.
You stared at him for a few minutes.
Maybe I can impress him when the virus strikes. You thought.
No. I can't.
Yes. Maybe. I don't know. You battled your doubts and decisions.
Tyler then walked over, gushing. He said that he had asked Amy out on a date.
Except...it wasn't Tyler. It was Memnock. Tyler was frozen in his locker, then Mem explained why.
"Smart. Even though he and Amy accidentally kissed in the library, I thought he would've had enough confidence but, eh." Allie said, shrugging.
No one really paid attention to that.
*Timeskip brought to you by red battleball*
Once you, Allie, and the rest of the Noobs met up in the Galacticus, Zen said there was something missing.
"An unstable battleball has gone missing." Zen said in his thick German accent. (A/N: Typed normal because potatoes)
"Why is it important that it be found?" Shope questioned.
"The selective powers stored on the battleball are too much, so it is very unstable. We haven't had time to fix it yet." Mem answered.
You looked more pale and tense than ever. You started shaking really hard.
"Snap out of it!" Allie hissed, nudging you hard.
"What about Tyler's date with Amy? Its almost three. We should get to the smoothie shop or something."
Everyone looked at you. You stared back, giving a 'seriously, guys?' face.
....
"Everything should go according to plan. Just play it cool." You told Tyler.
"How do I even..?"
"(sigh) Pretend I'm Amy."
You sat down in the other seat across from Tyler.
"Say, 'Hi, Amy'."
"'Hi, Amy.'"
"Good. Ask her about her day or something."
"'How was your day?'"
"Awesome. Now just--"
