Atlas/sandor:

Brier and Thorne had come so far, I am very proud of them. I new the next couple of weeks were going to be hard. But they could do it.

"We have taken a break, from training, as you know. But we will be working on the groundwork. So we will be breaking into groups, so girls and boys." Brier was quizzically looking at me, then the realization hit. "No, no!" Brier said, standing up and moving farther away from us. "Whats wrong?" Thorne asked, turning to look at Brier. Monica was laughing, and I couldn't help but smile. "Brier, I know you're going to hate this and yes it will be painful." "Painful?" Thorne asked interrupting me, and now standing between Brier and me. "What are you going to have us do?!" Thorne asked, with his annoyance growing. Brier sighed from behind him, "Heels, high-heels, and dancing. One of the best ways to get a perfect balance is to learn to walk perfectly in heels and dancing. When people learn to dance and walk in heels they have impeccable balance, groundwork, footwork, you get the point." She told him, while she made her way back to the couch. She leaned over and kissed Thorne on the cheek, "Let's get this over with." And with that Brier and Monica left.

(Brier/ Sophies pov:)

"Try these on," Monica told me handing me the 50th pair of heels. "Look at that, they fit like a charm!" "How many pairs do I need?" She looked at me amused, "I hate heels as much as you. So I want to find you the perfect and most comfortable pair. You know, we got to stick together." Now let's check out and we have some work to do," she said giving me a nudge on the shoulder and laughing. "Maybe this won't be that bad," I told her trying to sound optimistic. "Ow, no, you're going to hate this."

"Walk normally, not like you have two broken legs!"  Monica yelled at me. "I'm sorry, I have never worn heels this tall!" "Give her a break," Thorne said, laughing as I fell. "I don't think you guys have room to say anything about me struggling! You have never even worn heels!" I said to them I took my shoes off. "I think you're doing great! I remember when my mom was teaching Biana to wear heels. That was a fun day. My Dad, Alvar, and I watched and laughed as she would practice and she fell so many times..." An evil smile come over his face as he helped me up, "What?" "one time me and Keefe... " He winced as he said the name, but kept going. " Had a sleepover and I dared him to wear heels while we played base-quest, we ended up having to call Elwin! My mom was so mad!" Thorne said, telling the story with a genuine smile. "Well, you two have the next two days off," Monica said as we made our way to the kitchen. "Days off? What does that mean?" "Well, Mr. Forkle asked for us to come in. So we have to go in, and you two are free to do as you want, but you have to keep Sage and Bruno with you." "Why can't we come with you?" I asked. "Brier, we have to keep things a secret, especially now. Mr. Forkly believes we have a spy." "Did someone get hurt?" I asked trying not to panic. "No, just some files have been stolen and one of the bases was attacked." All I could do was stand there looking at Atlas, "Tell them I say hi." I turned and walked down the hall to my room. "Brier!" Thorne called as he ran after me. I  turned to look at him. "It's not your fault." He told. "But it is, this is all about..." "No! You are just a pon in their game. But your also the one who going to save us... YOU ARE GOING TO SAVE THE WORLD! Please don't shut me out, let me help you." he told me. " Your right." I said talking a deep breath. "You know, I can't do this without you." "Will you go on a date with me." "What?" I asked pulling away. "We've never been on a date. Will you go on one with me?" I could feel a smile tugging on my lips, "I would be honored to."
