Sandra stood outside her apartment building. The World Championships were starting up again and Sandra had no idea what she was going to do. Almost all of her friends were on teams and she didn't want to take their places. The worst thing about this time was the fact that Kyoya was going to Africa to be on their team. Africa was keeping Kyoya and Nile on the team. She assumed Demure and Benkei would also be on the team. Japan's team consisted of Gingka, Tsubasa and Yu as the three regular members and Kenta had made it as the sub-member this year. Madoka was still their mechanic.

"Hey Sandra. What are you doing out here by yourself?" Alex asked coming up beside her.

"Just thinking about the World Championships," Sandra answered.

"I hope Gan Gan Galaxy can win again this year," Alex said. "Who are you rooting for?"

"Take a wild guess," Sandra replied.

"Oh! Right! Kyoya...your boyfriend," Alex said. "I'm sorry, but I'll never get used to that. I mean you're so...he's..." She trailed off.

"What?" Sandra promted. "I'm what?"

"Hey Sandra, Alex," Kyoya greeted as he came up.

"I have never been so happy for someone to interupt a conversation," Alex said.

Sandra rolled her eyes and turned to Kyoya. "Hi. You have to get going to Africa don't you?" she asked.

"Yeah, but I had to pick someone up first," Kyoya answered.

Sandra stared at him for a moment in confusion. "Who?"

"You, who else?" Kyoya answered.

"Why me?" Sandra asked, still confused.

"You're coming with me to Africa. I persuaded them to put you on the Africa team as a regular member," Kyoya explained.

"What about Demure and Nile?" Sandra asked.

"Nile's still a regular member and Demure said he'd much rather be the sub anyway," Kyoya replied.

"Awesome! Thanks Kyoya!" Sandra exclaimed as she gave him a hug.

"Like I said; never going to get used to it," Alex said. Sandra looked at her and rolled her eyes.

"Oh yeah! What were you going to say earlier? I'm what?" Sandra asked.

"Oh! Drop it already!" Alex exclaimed. Sandra held back a giggle.

"Now who do you want to win, Alex?" Sandra asked, changing the subject. And if you say Gan Gan Galaxy I'm going to need a reason for you to go against your best friend."

Alex thought for a moment before shrugging. "I don't know. Now I can't decide." There was a look in Alex's eyes that Sandra knew well. It was the look she got when she thought about Kyoya. She either likes Gingka or Tsubasa.

"Alright, who is it?" Sandra asked.

"Who's who?" Alex asked.

"You like someone. Who is it?" Sandra explained.

"I...don't know what you're talking about," Alex said looking away. Sandra thought about pressing her further but decided not to.

"Well, I guess I'll see you sometime," Sandra said to Alex. "That is if we're leaving now," she added turning to Kyoya. He nodded and they set out with Sandra waved goodbye to Alex as they went.
