"So.. Buenos días cabrones!" Spark greeted.

It was a cold morning in the mountains of Colorado. Tons of tourists wandered through the snow by either snowboards or the gandola. The cool breeze went through Gaige while she put on her helmet, getting ready to do some snowboarding with her friends, who comprised of Flash, Hazel, her brother Treble accompanied by his girlfriend Vinyl, Sunset, Soul, and newcomer Mise en Place. Along with them were the Crystal Prep Students which comprised of Neon, Sparkjump, Lone Wolf along with his girlfriend Sunny Flare, and Rapid Shadow.

The group waited on top of the beginners hill and watched the great view of the mountains. Spark went infront of the group and began to speak.

"It's unfortunate but there is something extremely depressing that I must let you all know," He said as he lifted his goggles up and turned to Neon with a glare, "TODAY HE WILL DIE."

"Don't take your eyes off him!" Treble added as he chuckled.

"I'm going to kill you wankers." Neon replied with an annoyed tone.

"KILL KILL KILL!" Mise shouted.

Gaige sat on the snow and waited. Unfortunately, she didn't bring her tools nor Deathtrap with her, as her goal was to make sure Flash enjoys the whole trip. She wore a bored expression and gave out a sigh. Sunset, who was putting on her gloves, noticed Gaige and went to check on on her.

"Hey Gaige, you okay?" Sunset asked.

"Heh, probably." Gaige said with a bored expression.

"You didn't bring Deathtrap with you?"

"Nope, I wanted to take a break," Gaige replied as she incorrectly placed her goggles on her eyes, "Besides, I want to concentrate on having fun."

Neon noticed Gaige and walked to her. The girl raised her brow while Neon correctly positioned her goggles in place.

"You put it on the wrong way mate." Neon said.

"Is that ri-"

"Gaige, I brought you a board."

Flash went between the two and interrupted them. He carried two snowboards for him and Gaige, which he used to block Neon's face.

"Thanks Flash." Gaige said as she took the board.

Flash then turned to Neon. The two began to glare at each other as if they were about to rip each other apart. Neon let out an annoyed "Hmph" and walked away from Flash, who also did the same. Flash walked up to the edge of the slope and positioned his board along with Hazel. The two were mesmerized by the view as Sunset looked on with a worried face.

Did I mention it was their first time snowboarding?

"So uh, you've never rode a snowboard before right?" She asked, "Soul stop playing with your phone."

The two ignored Sunset and jumped down on the slope unexpectedly. They began to scream in enjoyment as they slid down the hill. Sunset performed a facepalm and lifted up her goggles.

"Geez, why did they do that?" Sunset groaned.

With that, the others except Gaige followed on and slid down the hill. The girl who was left behind however, stood on the top and watched on with fear. For a beginners hill, the height looked terrifying for her and thought it was impossible.

"When I was at the bottom I estimated that the beginners course had an elevation of 15 degrees but nooooo, when I'm here looking down, the gradient of the slope doesn't look like it!" A scared Gaige said to herself, "Holy crap that's too much nerd talk. B-But I have to go down.... Flash is over there.. I wanna be with him..."

Gaige took a deep breath and looked down the slope once again. Her whole body shivered when she saw the terrifying height again. She let out a big sigh and carried her board.

"I'll just go take a gandola and wait down there!" Gaige said in determination as she headed for the gandola, "I mean, that baka seems to be having plenty of fun already!"

Meanwhile, Hazel gleefully slid down the hill while Spark followed on from behind. The girl accelerated and did not care if she was about to crash. The sweet adrenaline rushed into her and the cold wind breezed through her. Spark let out a big smile as he got himself beside Hazel.

"Yo, let me hold onto your hand and teach you." Spark suggested with a smile.

"HAHAHA! See if you can catch my hand!" Hazel exclaimed as she went ahead of him.

"If I catch you, you'll go out with me right?"

"WHY DID IT BECOME THAT?!"

While the two chased each other, the others stopped and rested in the middle of the hill. Neon noticed that Gaige wasn't with them and went to Soul to ask him.

"Oi, where's Gaige?" Neon asked him.

"Huh? She's probably still down there practicing." Soul replied.

"Oh, thanks."

Flash overheard this and glared at Neon. The others except him and Neon continued to slide down the hill. Flash then got infront of Neon and confronted him.

"Bastard, where do you think you're going?" Flash asked in irritation.

"Me? I'm going off to win Gaige's heart." Neon maliciously replied with a smirk.

Flash winced back in shock.

"YOU BASTARD! YOU DO LIKE HER!" Flash exclaimed in surprise.

"If you have anything to say, just tell the person directly, right?" Neon smiled confidently as he crossed his arms.

Even if he was confident, Neon thought that Flash was about to swiftly come and kill him. But after some quick thinking, he realized that Flash was scared of what he's about to do. Due to his pride, Neon thought that Flash couldn't compete with him.

"You really do love Gaige to the point where you can't control yourself huh?!" Flash said while he glared at Neon.

"NO WAY! I ONLY LIKE HER A LITTLE BIT YOU WANKER!" Neon exclaimed.

Flash let out a confused look and stared at Neon. Realizing what he just said, Neon turned his back on Flash and slid down the hill.

"Huh? WAIT I DON'T GET IT!" Flash shouted as he followed on.

"Damn it, when he's around, I turn into an idiot! A grade schooler!" Neon pondered while he wore an embarrassed look on his face.

"Wait for me you bastard!"

"STOP FOLLOWING ME WANKER!"

Below the hill was Gaige, who was lying flat on the snow. She wore a bored expression and blankly stared at the sky as the clouds went by. Even if she could, she couldn't stand up because of the boredom she was experiencing. She could only think of working on Deathtrap, who she unfortunately left at home. The agitated Gaige began to flail her arm on the snow continuously.

"He's got the whooooole world.. In his haaaands," Gaige sang as she continued to hit the snow, "Damn it I should have brought a book or something. Flash seems to be having so much fun already."

The girl got up and sat on the snow.

"Aside from somehow being athletic and technology, is there nothing else I'm good at?" She said to herself.

Suddenly, Sunset skid next to her as she was passing by. She lifted up her goggles and gave Gaige a confused look.

"Gaige? What are you doing?" Sunset asked, "Where are the others?"

"Huh? I've been alone here for the past thirty minutes!" Gaige exclaimed.

"Huh? Flash was chasing that Neon guy, and it's already been a while."

Gaige crossed her arms and looked at Sunset.

"That's unfortunate," Gaige pouted, "Flash is immensely jealous of Neon."

Sunset facepalmed and looked at Gaige with an annoyed look. Gaige knew it so clearly, so why doesn't she understand the most important part of it?

"So you were here all this time practicing?" Sunset asked.

"Yup, I'm just resting for a while and was just remembering my dear Deathtrap." Gaige smiled.

"By resting you mean planning? Isn't that more of an addiction?!"

Gaige sat up and dusted the snow off her clothing.

"I can't calm down if I don't." Gaige replied plainly.

"I'm guessing it's your first time to not bring Deathtrap?" Sunset asked once again while she placed her hands inside her pocket.

"Yeah, if I brought him and a set of tools, I'd just end up working on him," Gaige said as she took off her helmet and shook off the snow on her head, "I came here today to make sure Brad would have fun."

"Why do you want him to have fun?"

"Huh? Because I haven't done anything for him," Gaige said as she blushed, "So I thought, I should make him happy."

Sunset knelt beside Gaige and placed her hand on her shoulder. She gave a warm and inspiring smile to Gaige.

"You being here is what makes Flash happy." Sunset proclaimed.

Gaige's face turned redder and redder as she nervously played with her hands. She then stood up and positioned her goggles and helmet back in place.

"W-W-Well, I guess it does!" Gaige nervously replied.

"That's the spirit!" Sunset exclaimed with a smile as she extended her hand to Gaige, "If you want to make him happy, the most important thing is for you to enjoy it too! For starters, how about skiing with me?"

"Baka!" Gaige agreed in delight.

Meanwhile somewhere in the distance, Treble, Vinyl and Mise wore confused looks as they watched a drooling and shivering Hazel watching Sunset and Gaige. She slowly took out her phone and began to snap photos of them. Treble leaned to Mise and began to whisper something.

"So what are we supposed to do in this scene again?" He asked.

"Wait what? I swear you get more random and random everyday." Mise replied.

"Or maybe we're just here to extend the scene and give out fanservice to a certain hot fiery Celtic on the site." Treble smiled.

"....I see why I rarely hangout with you lad."

"Sorry to interrupt but shouldn't we do something to her?" Vinyl interrupted as she pointed to Hazel.

Treble and Mise looked at Hazel once more and cringed as they saw her. They then looked at each other and nodded in agreement. The two walked slowly to the shivering and shaking Hazel and tried to knock some sense to her, but was stopped when Hazel began to jump in excitement.

"OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH THIS IS A GREAT LESBIAN SHIP!" Hazel exclaimed, "Now all I need for them to do is f*ck!"

Treble and Mise slowly backed away and went beside Vinyl with confused and began to cringe.

"Yeah let's just ignore her." Mise proposed.

"I agree." Vinyl and Treble said in unison.

Suddenly, loud rustling sound came from behind the three. They turned around and saw a bush shaking violently. They became terrified by this and started to back away from it. It was then revealed that it was Flash and Neon all along when they came out of it with leaves on their dirty and ripped skiing gear. Neon had an annoyed and angered expression as Flash followed on from behind.

"ARE YOU AN IDIOT YOU STUPID WANKER?! I THOUGHT YOU DIED!" Neon exclaimed to Flash.

"SHUT UP! IT WAS BECAUSE YOU WENT TO SOME STRANGE PLACE FIRST!" Flash retaliated.

"DO YOU THINK IT'S NORMAL TO SCREAM IN THAT SITUATION THEN?!"

"SHUT UP! IT WAS A BEAR!"

Vinyl, Treble and Mise stood silently and watched the two argue. Vinyl then went infront of them with a confused look.

"What happened to both of you?" She asked.

"WE GOT STRANDED!" Flash explained as he pointed to Neon, "IT'S ALL HIS FAULT!"

"THE ONE AT FAULT IS YOU!" Neon shouted as he hit Flash on the head in annoyance.

After a few hours frolicking on the snow, it was now time for rest and the group was now inside one of the cottages that Treble rented. Hazel was amazed at the place and began to look around it while the others rested on the living room. Oddly enough, the place was too luxurious for it to be a normal cottage.

"Nice place." Neon said with his hands in his pocket.

"My dad said that he was using the other places so... Yeah this is the place," Treble said while he whistled, "Girls take the room upstairs, we men can have the living room and tell spooky stories that eventually won't be able to explore since this is Gaige's story!"

The whole group stared at Treble with confused looks, while Gaige on the other hand pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed in annoyance. She soon noticed a bookshelf in the other room and headed inside it. The books that it contained sparked Gaige's curiosity as she inspected every single one of them.

"You really are a rich wanker." Neon smirked.

"Hey! It's the authors fault that I belong in a rich family!" Treble exclaimed as he pouted and crossed his arms, "And it's his fault you're gonna get rejected soon! SPOILER ALERT!"

"Right.."

Neon crossed his arms and whistled in boredom. He noticed that Gaige wasn't in the room and began to look for her. His eyes eventually caught her in the other room and headed towards her. He went beside her and pretended to pick out a book from the shelf.

"Anything you want to read mate?" Neon asked plainly.

"This is an impressive selection govnah!" Gaige laughed.

"These books are just for decorations here."

Neon took out a french book and handed it to Gaige.

"You can read French?" Neon asked.

"Just a bit. Probably." Gaige replied.

As Gaige was about to take the book, a book suddenly slammed into her hand. She turned to her side and saw Flash glaring at Neon. The two boys began to look at each other as if they were about to go on a rampage throughout each other. Gaige on the other hand, slowly backed away from them and returned to the living room. Unknown to them, Hazel and Sunset were watching from the other room and saw the even unfold.

"HE DEFINITELY LIKES GAIGE!" Hazel exclaimed.

Hazel, Sunset, Soul, Treble and Spark were instructed to shop in a nearby convenient store. While there, Sunset listened to Hazel's ranting about Neon while the boys argued on what they should cook for dinner, curry or stew.

Hazel became anxious by the issue and began to shiver and sweat as she was picking out groceries for the group.

"I THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE! HE ONLY GETS IN THE WAY BETWEEN FLASH AND GAIGE!" Hazel exclaimed nervously.

"Well, it's alright isn't it?" Sunset said with a smile, "The person who decides is Gaige after all! Soul don't touch that."

"SUNSET WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON?!" Hazel replied in shock.

"Well, I'm not on anyone's side," Sunset chuckled, "Aside from that, does Flash actually like Gaige?"

"HE LOVES HER! ISN'T THAT OBVIOUS?!"

"I guess so but then I don't think he even thinks about her at all," Sunset pointed out, "Instead of liking her, I think Flash is just obsessed with Gaige."

Hazel became even more uneasy and was alarmed by Sunset's statement.

"Soul once told me that Warhawk said that Flash was a little coward," Sunset continued as she took some salt from the shelf and placed it on their shopping cart, "I sort of understand where he's coming from."

"STILL! NEON SHOULD NOT BE PAIRED WITH GAIGE! SHE AND FLASH ARE MY OTP!"

"Does that have any relevance to what we're-"

"THERE IS! I HATE IT WHEN YOU SAY THESE SORT OF THINGS!"

"Nevermind.."

Sunset rolled her eyes and stayed silent for the whole trip. The shopping concluded and the group returned to the cottage by sunset. There, the girls cooked while the boys bonded and chatted about Swedish supermodels in the living room. The shopping group couldn't make a decision and bought the stew and curry.

While they were busy with cooking, Sunny Flare grew curious of Gaige's situation. She went behind Gaige, who was stirring her curry sauce, and tried to get her attention. When she finally did, Gaige turned around and saw Sunny with her arms crossed and eyebrow raised.

"What is it?" Gaige asked.

"Which one do you like?" Sunny replied.

Sunset and Hazel became surprised by this and looked at the two. Gaige however, grew confused by this and didn't know what she was talking about.

"If I had to choose... Stew?" Gaige replied blankly.

"I'm not talking about that." Sunny said with a smirk.

"Whoa whoa whoa, are you asking me if I'm gay?"

"What? NO! I'm talking about Flash and-"

Just in time, Sunset covered Sunny's mouth before she could say anything.

"WOW GAIGE YOU'RE ON TEAM STEW? HIGH FIVE!" Sunset said nervously as she raised her hand.

Hazel sighed in relief as she continued on with whatever she was doing. Gaige still didn't know what was going on but shook it off and continued on her work as well. Sunset let go of Sunny as she let out an annoyed groan at her. The two went on with their business and went back to cooking.

Unknown to them, Neon was leaning near the doorway and overheard everything. He stood silently and thought of what just went on. After dinner, the group decided to play hide and seek inside, with the exception of Neon who went outside the cottage and sat on a chair reading a book. After a while, he placed his book down and let out an anxious sigh as he watched the snow fall down the ground.

"If you ask her that now, it would be Flash right?" Neon pondered, "It's obvious, I'm not even participating in the competition. At the very least, I'm comforted by that."

Neon placed his hands inside his pocket and lied on his back.

"If I beat around the bush, she won't understand because she's surprisingly dense!" Neon thought, "If I said it plainly... Attack swiftly-"

"Nylon?"

Neon turned to his side and saw Gaige coming out of the glass doorway. She had her hair down and was wearing her pajamas and a scarf. Neon's chest began to beat rapidly as Gaige sat next to him.

"What are you doing out here? Everyone is playing hide and seek inside." Gaige asked as she yawned.

"I was gonna ask you the same thing mate." Neon chuckled warmly.

"I was found immediately," Gaige replied, "I got a bit tired of the noise inside."

Gaige sat silently as Neon looked at her. She sat there and watched the snow fall. In Neon's point of view, it was somewhat peaceful to see the girl beside him. It was like his bad memories went to oblivion upon looking at Gaige. He then felt his heart beginning to speed up and decided to speak up, not wanting it to become extremely awkward.

"Gaige, do you know what the moment of force is?" Neon asked suddenly.

Gaige turned to him with a brow raised.

"It's the tendency of a force to twist or rotate an object." Gaige replied.

"Alright, nerd talk should get her attention." Neon thought victoriously.

"Whoa, this is new, I never knew you were into this kind of stuff." Gaige smiled.

"Nah, I just remembered our Christmas homework that they gave us. I just wanted to know your take on the subject."

Gaige began to talk about Physics, oblivious to the fact that it was making Neon feel relaxed. His heart showed no signs of slowing down and his face began to turn red. It became even way worse when Gaige began to smile while she discussed the topic.

Inside, Flash came out of the curtains and noticed the two outside from the window. Rage began to build up inside him as he saw Gaige smiling next to Neon. Sunset, who was hiding behind a couch, noticed Flash's enraged expression and went up to him.

"Flash, hide properly!" Sunset whispered.

"Gaige is... Having fun out there." Flash said angrily.

"Huh?"

"I'm going out there!"

"Flash wait!"

Flash began to stomp his way to the door. Sunset panicked and chased after him. She stood infront of him and stopped him in his tracks.

"I SAID WAIT!" Sunset said in a serious tone as she glared at him," What do you plan to do?"

Suddenly, Flash grabbed Sunset by the collar and lifter her up. She began to shiver in fear as the boy infront of her glared at him with death eyes.

"Don't get in my way Sunset." Flash warned.

"You.. You don't understand Gaige at all!"

"HUH?!"

"THINK ABOUT IT! I TOLD YOU BEFORE!" Sunset exclaimed, "DO YOU KNOW WHY GAIGE CAME HERE? YOU SHOULD KNOW! IF YOU DON'T, YOU'RE GOING TO END UP ALL ALONE AGAIN!"

Flash's eyes shrank and slammed Sunset on a wall. Sunset slid down the wall in pain as Flash walked away from her with a mad aura. After Sunset recovered, she looked around and didn't see Flash. Instantly, she stood up and went to the other room. There, she found Vinyl, who was "It".

"Found you bacon!" Vinyl exclaimed in glee.

"WHICH WAY DID FLASH GO?!" Sunset exclaimed nervously.

"Err, he was heading to the second floor," Vinyl replied, "Did something happen?"

Sunset felt relieved and let out a sigh. She leaned on the wall and wiped the sweat coming from her head as Vinyl looked at her with a confused look.

"I see.." Sunset said, "I was so scared.."

Vinyl stood silently and confused as she watched Sunset rubbed her head. Meanwhile, Flash angrily stomped his way to the second floor. He stopped for a moment and remembered what his older brother said to him a few days ago. Realizing he was right, he punched the wall with his strongest wall which oddly caused the whole cottage to shake slightly.

Outside, Gaige heard the loud bump and was startled by it. She began to feel drowzy and wanted to go to sleep.

"I'm getting cold, later dude." Gaige yawned as she stood up and headed towards the door.

Suddenly, her hand was grabbed by Neon.

"Your number, can I have it mate?" Neon insisted, "I want to call you."

Gaige raised a brow.

"Sorry dude, but I tend to forget about things and I'm certain my number is one of them." Gaige replied.

Neon let out a disappointed sigh and looked away. His hand gripped harder to Gaige's hand.

"Um, Neon... My hand." Gaige said in annoyance.

"What if I don't want to let go?"

Neon stood up and stared directly at Gaige's eyes, which made her blush red. She looked at the tall English boy and became confused on what was going on. On the other hand, Neon's chest began to rapidly beat.

"Gaige, I-"

As Neon was about to confess to Gaige, he noticed Sunny on the glass door smirking at them. He became alarmed by this and quickly thought of an excuse.

"I AM THE KIND OF GUY WHO WOULD DO THIS TO ANYONE!" Neon proclaimed as he let go of Gaige's hand and crossed his hands.

"Really? Jesus you scared the living sh*t out of me dude." Gaige sighed, "You're horrible."

Gaige bid farewell to Neon and headed inside, leaving a disappointed Neon. As she headed to the second floor, she saw Sunset sitting near a wall while Vinyl placed a cold compress on her head.

"You going up Gaige?" Sunset asked in concern.

"I'm going to hit the hay." Gaige replied

"I don't think you should go up there."

"The hell happened to your head?"

"Soul hit me accidentally while we were making out."

"Eww." Gaige said as she pouted.

"Sorry, I might have done something unnecessary." Sunset chuckled.

Gaige headed to the second floor and into their room. There, she threw her scarf on the bed and went near the heater. Then she realized, whatever happened to Flash? Unknown to her, the boy was behind her.

"Did he see it? DID HE SEE IT?!" The embarrassed Gaige pondered.

Gaige put her scarf back on her neck and sat near the heater. She then turned to Flash, who had his back turned to her. She noticed the embarrassed look that he was giving and made her chest feel warm. She then smiled and began to speak.

"Flash, it's fine now," Gaige said with a warm smile, "Did you have fun today?"

"...I-I had heaps of fun..." Flash said in a low unhappy tone as he faced Gaige.

Gaige's smile quickly disappeared and turned back to the heater.

"I see... I'm glad you did," Gaige said, "That's the reason why I came today."

Noticing that her plan worked, Gaige's smile returned and the wonderful sight made Flash's sorrows instantly vanished. His face began to turn red as he sat silently and shivered.

"Brad, it's cold there right?" Gaige called out, "Come over here, there's a heater. I promise I won't bite."

Flash proceeded to do so while Gaige yawned. He sat infront of her and looked away to avoid eye contact. There was silence between the two until Flash spoke up.

"Gaige, take your hand out." Flash commanded.

"Heh? What for?" Gaige asked as she raised her hand.

Flash slowly raised his hand and placed it to Gaige's hand. Oddly enough, the feeling that he first felt when he was hugged by her wasn't there anymore. He could only feel the warmth coming from her hand and reaction in his heart.

"I guess it's not there anymore." Flash sighed in disappointment.

"What is?" She asked.

"The first time you touched me, the inside of me became warm. I thought I wanted that," Flash said softly with a sincere voice, "I was so happy with that, my heart beat really really fast."

"Did he come that day to test that out?" Gaige thought.

"I thought this was certainly love."

"Baka! So it was like that."

Gaige's grip began to become tighter and tighter on Flash's hand. Her cheeks began to turn red as she wore half lid eyes and a frown. It became uneasy for her after what Flash just said.

"Then, what you're feeling right now is different from love?" Gaige asked in a disappointed tone.

Flash's pupils shrank and began to panic.

"OF COURSE IT'S THE SAME!" A panicked Flash exclaimed while his face turned red, "T-THERE'S NO WAY IT'S NOT!"

Gaige began to giggle and smirk at Flash.

"Oh well, it's fine," Gaige said sarcastically, "If I couldn't touch your hand, I was wondering how to fulfill your expectations.

"I-I-It's fine now! But it's important to you right?" Flash replied nervously as he gave out the biggest smile he could pull off, "It really is fine now."

*THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP*

Gaige's chest began to feel warm after looking at Flash's smile. Could it be that she had accepted Flash's company and no longer get disgusted or annoyed by him? Once again, she gave out a warm smile and leaned on Flash's chest as she closed her eyes.

"I feel relieved when you smile." Gaige smiled.

*BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP*

Flash's face now looked like a tomato while he watched Gaige fall asleep on him. Millions of things that he could do went through his head as he placed Gaige on his knee and watched her sleep. He placed his on his chin and pondered on the things he should be doing and the advice that his brother gave him. After a few moments, he carried Gaige and placed her on the bed.

"I can't calm down."

"SON OF A B*TCH MISE WAS HIDING OUT IN THE COLD?!" Treble exclaimed.

"Perks of being a trained soldier!" Mise said, "Now excuse me, I need to go take a hot bath! Also can I proclaim myself the hide and seek king?"

"Whatever floats your boat. I MEAN WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT YOU WOULD HIDE THERE! Obviously the author."

Sunset sat on the couch and was eating chips. She could still feel the pain from her head from the incident earlier on. On cue, Flash descended from the stairs and walk inside the living room as Sunset looked at him nervously. The boy sat next to her, shrugged and leaned on his back. Sunset noticed that he had already calmed down and decided to talk to him.

"How's Gaige?" She asked.

"Sleeping. I wrapped her in blankets." Flash replied.

"So you've cooled down?"

"For today," Flash said, "Because giving my Asian Empress a peace of mind is the most important!"

Sunset cringed and smiled upon hearing what Flash had to say. Meanwhile, the disappointed Neon sat outside as he stared at his phone. Even if he didn't get Gaige's number, he was still amused by the exaggerated expression coming from Gaige that he imagined. His objective was now clear, and it was to make Gaige recognize his existence.

Sunset and Flash sat silently as Sunset continued to eat her chips. The silence between the two was broken when Flash turned to her with an apologetic expression.

"Sunset, I'm sorry about what happened earlier. It was probably better that I didn't go," Flash apologized, "It's all thanks to you."

Sunset gave out a victorious smile and patted Flash on the back.

"Well then!" Sunset exclaimed, "Let's just say that you owe me one!"

"Huh? Did I borrow something?"

Meanwhile upstairs, Gaige struggled inside the wraps of the blanket. She began to panic as she was getting suffocated and couldn't move. Inside the closet, a frightened Hazel couldn't come out due to the fact that she saw everything that happened between Gaige and Flash. She had no idea what to do, and for now she was going to stay where she is.

And she stayed there the whole night.

Author's Notes:

Question is, what DID Flash see? This:
