"Whi-Two, can you hear me? Whi-Two?"

The girl flinched but refused to open her eyes. She felt Lack-Two shaking her and heard him say again:

"Whi-Two, can you hear me? Whi-Two?"

"Yes I can hear you. Now why are you holding my hands?"

Lack-Two quickly pulled back his hands before Whi-Two was using her skirt to wipe off his sweat that he put on her hands. "You have weird hands."

"Thank you. Let's get outta here."

"W-What happened to everyone?" asked Whi-Two.

"Ran home like scared toddlers after they woke up."

"We all thawed out?"

"I was waiting for you to wake up," said Lack-Two. "Mr. Cheren tasked me to look after you and care for you."

Whi-Two's face was filled with disgust. "In your dreams, boy. In your dreams."

"What?"

"I guess I'm leaving you here," she said. "I already won your easy little game."

"I'll make a deal with you." Lack-Two declared, getting up with her.

"What?"

"If you win this next one, you get a break from me. If you don't..."

He got her full attention, "If I don't?"

"If you don't, you'll have to go somewhere with me."

"Like where?"

"A movie?"

The girl took a step back, "Ew. You mean like a date?"

"Uh—."

"What do you mean 'uh'? Does that mean yes?"

"Whitley—!"

"I said to not call me that," she said sternly. "Anyways, what's the game?"

"Beat me in the finals."

"Sure."

"What?"

"Sure. I can do it."

"You're confident, huh?"

"I'm ready whenever you are," Whi-Two turned to leave. "Blake."

He flinched at his name as he watched her drag him onto a train that would transport them to Team Plasma's headquarters.

"After that, school won't be a thing." Whi-Two muttered to herself.

"Did you hear something?"

"No."

"Well I did."

"Good for you."

"Whitley?"

"What?"

"Wait, you'll let me say your real name?"

Whi-Two rolled her eyes, "Scratch that. Whatever."

"Scratch what you said yesterday?"

"You could say that."

"Yay! Whitley!"

"Shush! Only when nobody's around."

"Why not? Whitley's a cute name!"

"Sure." she said with sarcasm.

"Seriously tell me!" Lack-Two entreated as they stepped into the train.
