"Welcome to the fifteen. Welcome to Mars. You will be working with two other team members, so that your team is made of one boy, one girl and one adult."
An adult walks up to me, "You'll be working with him and her."

Thrown together in a vehement, unfamiliar situation, Willa and Fifth should hate and fear each other.
