    "Since there's an odd number of people, we're going to have to do individual battles," Suho spoke as he formed a small water ball in his hand, "so girls, the best of luck to you." Blondie and Sara blinked rapidly as one of them choked out, "W-why best of luck to us?"

    Flames shot up Chanyeol's arms as he spoke, his voice deep, "We don't exactly play nice. We were given powers for a reason-" but Kris cut him off, "You girls will be fine; they're just trying to scare you, that's all." Tao's eyebrow shot up as he replied, "Scare them? Kris, I think they're warning them more than anyt-" but this time Luhan cut them off, "Sara will partner up with Kris and I'll partner up with Blondie."

    Chen sighed, "But that's not fair! It's supposed to be individual, not partners." Kris raised an eyebrow as he asked, "They're normal humans without powers. Do you think it would be fair for two human teenage girls to play a bizarre game of hide-and-seek where we use our powers?"

    Kai nodded as he transported to a nearby tree and sat on the lowest limb, "He's right; it wouldn't be fair."  Suho nodded, "I agree, now, what are we waiting for? Beint!"

    Immediately, everyone ran their separate ways. Those who could teleport did so as they appeared in random spot in the park while Kris wrapped an around Sara who gave him a skeptical look as she asked, "What are you doing?"

    He smiled and as he he began levitating off the ground as an answer, she nodded and held onto tight as he shot up into the sky. Landing on one of the higher branches of a tree, Kris sat Sara down safely on the branch as he wrapped an arm around her to secure her.

    "Wouldn't want you falling out of this high tree," he spoke softly as she shot him a confused look at him arm that was wrapped around her. "Thanks," she chuckled lightly as she picked off a leaf from a nearby twig attatched to the limb that hung above them.

    Silence overpowered the two until Kris' strong voice suddenly spoke, "Sara, what would you consider me to you?"

    Caught off guard from the question, Sara cleared her throat as she nervously looked up into his piercing brown eyes, she answered with a shaky voice, "W-what do you mean?" He smiled a bit as his arm around her tightened a little, "Do you see me as more than a friend?"

     She laughed lightly, "Of course! You're one of my best-" but he cut her off as he moved his face closer to her's. Her eyes widened as she felt his breath tickle her face as he spoke, "No, what I mean is would you go out with me? As in a date." 

    Feeling her head start getting hot, a bit of a blush burned her cheeks as she cleared her throat and looked down at her hands, "Kris, I--I'm not sure." Scrunching his eyebrows, he asked, "Why?" She drew in a breath as she managed a small smile, "Kris, you're a really sweet guy don't get me wrong, but as crazy as it sounds, I don't quite think that Bang is----you know."

    Kris nodded as he removed his arm slowly; his face burning with redness. To try and ease the tension, Sara put her hand on his shoulder as she spoke, "I'm sorry, but until I find out if he really is or not, I-" but Kris nodded as he cut her off politely, "I understand, no need to explain. I shouldn't have even asked that question; it was stupid of me."

    Sara shook her head as she began to speak, but a sudden ball of water flew and hit them square in the face.

    "You're out!" Suho called triumphantly as he quickly disappeared into the rest of the park. Sara looked at Kris who wore a sad expression. Thinking for a second, she nudged his arm as she spoke, "Come on, let's go get something to eat." He managed a smile as he wrapped an arm around her again and returned safely to the ground.

    "Luhan, what are we supposed to do now? We're cornered and they don't even know we're her-" but Blondie was cut off as Luhan lightly clasped his hand over her mouth, "Shh, I have a plan."

    Nodding, she chewed her bottom lip after he removed his hand and watched as he stared at a nearby object in complete concentration. Within seconds, it crashed to the ground and as a puff of dust rose into the air, Luhan grabbed her hand as he quickly pulled her away to a new hiding spot.

    "That was so cool!" Blondie praised once they were out of sight. Luhan smiled as a red tint colored his cheeks lightly, "Thank you, it's my gift." She smiled as she opened her mouth to speak, but stopped in the midst of the movement as Kai suddenly teleported to their spot.

    He was breathless as grey smudges of ash covered his face here and there. As he sat there, the smell of smoke radiated off of them choking Blondie and Luhan who started to cough mildly.

    "What happened?" Blondie asked as she reached over to brush the grey smudges off his face. Kai coughed a few times before he choked out his answer, "Chanyeol." Luhan nodded and he started to nervously bite his lip, "He went a little overboard again, didn't he?"

    Kai nodded as ran a hand through his dark hair and replied sarcastically, "Just a little."

    A few feet in front of them, a Phoenix with flames suddenly appeared as Kai cursed under his breath. "He found me--again. I got to go," he quickly said as he teleported away. Luhan peered over the large object they were sitting behind as he concentrated on one of the light poles near Chanyeol. As an idea registered in his head, he reached over and grabbed Blondie's hand, "When you hear the crash, start running with me, okay?"

    She nodded and as he turned back, it wasn't long before the crash of the lightpole emitted through the air which signaled for them to run. From off in the distance, Chanyeol yelled, "Luhan!" Laughing a response, Luhan replied, "Sorry Chanyeol! I have to do what I have to do!"

    He quickly scattered to the end of the park as Blondie looked around for the others. "Everything's clear--for now," she said, but it wasn't long before they heard Chanyeol's battle cry. Luhan's eyes grew big as he smelled the burning smell of smoke and anger, "Do you want to get out of here? Maybe go see a movie or something?"

    The two started to walk away at a quick pace as Blondie nodded, "Yeah, that sounds good. I don't really want to have my eyebrows singed off due to Chanyeol's---tantrum."
