RECAP:

She was now checking the last room. Darn it. She didn't find anything. Maybe the thing she was searching for had something else written on it?

She didn't know why she felt like she was betraying Archer while she was searching his house.

She shook her head. He had clouded her thoughts.

She sighed. Maybe she couldn't do anything without Isaac's help after all. Maybe, she'll go back to his room and-

"Found what you're looking for?" She heard Archer's flat voice behind her making her freeze at the spot. Oh fudge.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Her breath quickened as she stood there and listened to his footsteps getting closer to her. What did he mean by that? Did it mean that he found out exactly what she'd been doing all along and had been waiting for a chance to catch her red handed? Maybe this is what he wanted!

She turned around and stared at his chest.

"A-Archer-"She stuttered. Maybe she could explain herself. Did it mean they're over? Of course they would be. Stupid. But, why in the heck was she feeling so sad?

"Game over." He growled lowly and pulled her closer by her waist. Her neck snapped up to see that he didn't look...angry. His eyes were...uh...hooded instead.

"You should've found a better place to hide instead of running around the house."

Wait, what? Did it mean that he didn't know what she was doing? She sighed in relief. She also didn't know what exactly made her sigh. Was it fact that he didn't know the truth or that she could be with him a little longer?

"I didn't hear you count."

"Your rules didn't apply that I should."

"Since when do you follow rules?" Ellie scowled in disbelief. He always did only what he wanted after all.

"Only the ones my girl makes."

Aww. Cheeezus. She liked that he followed 'only' her rules.

"And now for that prize..." He grinned. Oh boy.

"GUYS, THE STATE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP starts tomorrow and Archer got us tickets. Wanna go?" Ellie asked.

"Wait. Archer got us tickets?" Amy raised her brow.

"Now he wants to win 'the friends' heart' huh? Just tell him he'll have it as soon as he personally flashes me his chest." Tori joked making Amy laugh while Ellie gasped.

"I will not tell Archer to personally flash his chest to you." Ellie said seriously as she didn't like the sound of it.

"Relax tigress. No need to sharpen your claws. I was joking." Tori grinned.

"I know." Ellie sighed. "Anyways, about the tickets." She looked pointedly at them. "I won't feel comfortable if I go there all by myself. Besides, I know you guys want it."

"Sure." They both said.

"WOW." TORI HUFFED. "It sure is crowded." The girls had just entered the arena.

"We're lucky that we got the tickets in advance." Amy said. "Not just tickets but VIP!"

They had to squeeze their way in before they showed the tickets. They approached the front seats and settled themselves in.
