Funtime is Over, Part Three

In which we see how the Fun Pit carries on after Red Eye's harrowing decision...

-----

A couple months later...

"Hey! Hey, wait up!"

I slow to a stop, turning to face BB as she runs up to me. "Hey there, BB. I was beginning to worry you weren't going to show up today." I smile, crouching down in front of her.

"Are you kidding me? I wouldn't leave you hanging, Goldie!" She grins and I chuckle. "After all, you're my best friend! I gotta have your back!"

"Heh, I appreciate that." I push myself up and ask. "Where to today? Have any ideas?"

"Laser tag! I wanna beat everyone there, including you!" She answers, beginning to skip to the laser tag arena.

"Weeell, you're going to have some difficulty with that. I'm a pretty sharp shooter..." I hum nonchalantly, smirking down at her. "Unless you want me to take it easy on you."

BB huffs, crossing her arms. "Don't insult me, Goldie! You may be good, but I'mma definitely be better!"

"Oooh, okay. We'll see, won't we?"

"If you'll be able to see through your tears!" She retorts, and as we pass by Violet Eye groans.

"Oooooooh, you just got burned by a nine-year-old, Gold Eye!"

"Ahhh, hush!"

"Pfft, no way. Kick his butt, BB."

"I will!" She giggles mischievously, glancing up at me. "You quaking in your boots yet?"

"Nah, no way."

"Oh, boo. You will be soon."

She goes from a skip to a jog as we near the arena, then I jog over and open the door for her. "Thank you!"

"My pleasure." I reply, following her into the room.

"Hey look at who's here- Gold Eye!" Gray Eye chuckles. "I was just in the middle of asking if the kids had any questions..." He glances around. "It's not rigged if he wins, you guys. He just gets lucky, that's all."

The hands that hand gone up all go down. BB looks around for something, humming softly when she doesn't find it.

"Alright, you two, pick your guns, join the game, and, uh, everyone else... Sic Gold Eye."

"Tch, rude." I chuckle, going over and picking Red Eye's gun. The cracks that had been in the handle months ago are gone now, reinforced with a rubber grip. BB picks a pair of pistols, not the ones Valt normally uses.

We all go through the door and wait on the other side, listening as Gray Eye starts the countdown. "Three... Two... One... GO!"

Everyone takes off running except for me, and I leisurely walk up onto the catwalk. I stand there, waiting until kids start running past to start shooting. They all shriek in surprise when they're shot, then I'm yelping in surprise when someone shoots me from behind.

"Ha ha! Take that, Goldie!"

I turn, watching as BB runs down the stairs and disappears from view. "Dang, she got me..."

I start heading down on the other set of stairs, shooting at some kids who run past.

"Nooo! He got me!" One of them whines, then they shoot back. I grin a bit and start walking down one of the halls, pressing against it FBI style and slinking along... Then my chest armor starts beeping, alerting me to someone shooting at me. I whirl around, gun aimed, but BB's already around the corner.
