when magnus walked out of the bathroom lia was waiting by the door against the wall, eyes on her phone until she spotted the older brawler

"oh, there you are" she said, magnus' eyes darting tword her as the door closes behind him "wynton took your sister back to your guy's place, she fell asleep at one of the tables"

"oh how nice of him to do me a favor like that" magnus said in a friendly attempt to sound nice, but it sounded more like sarcasm than anything "it's almost like he's growing fond of me quickly"

"hmph, i doubt it" lia mumbled, she looked around just to make sure a certain someone wasn't watching before her quiet attitude turned into a scowl and she puts a finger on magnus' chest as she begins "listen here magnus, i don't know what your deal is but unlike dan, wynton and i know you're up to something and we will not let you get away with it"

magnus scoffed, was this kid seriously threatening him? and did she think it would scare him? as if! "you think i didn't notice the odd looks you two are constantly throwing at me?" magnus fires back taking her finger off his chest "how bout you listen here venegas you're little threats don't scare me and i've told you before, i joined the ao for a reason and i'm sticking to it!"

"you think we're all just so stupid, huh!?"the girl growled "this little "redemption" you so claim to attempt is all a lie! you just came back because you figured something out, you wanna use us for your own benefit, huh?!"

oh no, they're on to him but despite this magnus still wasn't scared. so what if they thought they knew? maybe magnus could do them a favor and lead them on to their beliefs. for now, he would just mess with them and later he could gain their trust.

"so which one of you figured that one out?" magnus chuckled crossing his arms "you, or your little boyfriend?" he added, a devilish smile on his lips as the other began to fume

"boyfriend?!" lia shrieked "what are you saying?! wynton is not my boyfriend!"

"well with how you two are so teamed up against me, i wouldn't be surprised if you had something going on for eachother"

lia was about to say something, throw a defense her way but nothing came out. she opened her mouth but no words formed and this made magnus laugh even more

"god, i never knew the awesome ones to be so... in love" he laughed "what's next? will the dog have a secret crush too?"

"what the heck is that supposed to mean?!" lia shrieked, she would have added on if it wasn't for dan walking in on them overhearing lia's screams

"hey guys, having friendly conversation without me?" dan asked

"oh hey dan" lia greeted, an annoyed tone obvious. "i was just talking to magnus about.. how great it is to have him in the crew" she lied

"he is pretty cool, isn't he" dan giggled, observing a little closer and magnus wondered if this was shun meant 'no, its clearly just a friendly compliment' he thought

"anyway it's getting kinda late" lia said "my mom just texted, i should get going"

"you're right" dan said "it's almost 10 o'clock and if i get home any later my parent's are gonna kill me"

"well you better get going then," she turned ready to leave "bye dan, i'll see you tommarow!" she waved and looked up at the darkus brawler however her friendly tone was now gone "goodbye magnus"

she walked off without letting magnus say goodbye, as if she even wanted to hear it. he rolled his eyes behind his glasses and his train of thought was inturputed by the younger brawler by him

"i better give you this before i forget" dan said and wasn't until then that magnus noticed the white tray box he held. magnus was handed it over and before he could ask was it was dan had already answered that "it's the leftover pizza, i think you and your sister need it more than us"

"thank you dan" magnus says flashing a fake smile to his now supposed friend. dan smiles back and they stay like that for a while, just looking into eachothers eyes until magnus cleared his throat finding it awkward and dan too dazed to even notice what he was doing

"well i.. i should go home now, don't wanna keep my parents waiting" dan awkwardly laughed after getting back to his senses "goodbye magnus"

he was already leaving after magnus waved until he stopped at the call of his name by the door

"dan, wait" magnus called out, dan turned around "i'll walk with you" he said

"oh magnus, you don't have to do that" dan said "my house is only a couple miles down"

"yeah but it's late, i wouldn't want you getting into any trouble"

dan was well equipped with bakugan, if something bad were to happen he could just take out drago or cyndeous but because magnus was being so nice (and it was safe to say that dan adored his company) it was hard to resist.

"ok, you can come along then mr knight in shining armor"

"anything to keep my princess safe" magnus joked with a wink and such a comment made dan turn away emmbarresed with a faint blush on his cheeks

"hey! what the heck don't call me that!" dan laughed as they walked off and magnus could just tell he loved it

it was then that his grand plan would be put into action
