The Duo's Knowing

"Chooki, tell me," Toxsa moaned, resting his chin on his palm. "Is there something you won't ruin?"

"Dude, you were supposed to wear them on tomorrow anyway," Chooki rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, and," Ceylon said sarcastically. "And you had to make us try on like fifty on 'em?!"

"Twenty," Chooki corrected.

"Who cares, I can't feel my neck and arms!" Toxsa whelped.

"Hey, a man's gotta look your best," Chooki said. "Suck up your lime parfait."

"Nuh-uh," Toxsa slammed his face on the counter. "I'm too sick of thinking about tomorrow's dance and eating this."

"Speaking of which, where's Guren?" Chooki asked.

"Probably in his room weeping," Ceylon laughed.

'Ceylon, I'll swear I will get you for this,' Violet thought, sitting at the corner of Toxsa's family diner.

"Dad, can we go home now?" Violet groaned.

"If you say so," Mr Nash shrugged. "Okay."

"Oh, hey it's you again," Chooki came out to her and said. "Are you okay from the incident… Just now?"

"Uh, yeah, um… I'm fine, thanks," Violet said uncomfortably. "How about you?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," Chooki scratched his head. "Have I met you before?"

"I-I don't think so…" Violet said, avoiding eye contact. "Why did you ask…? Heh, heh."

"Because, on the dance tomorrow… Would you um… Be my date…?" Chooki said blushing, "I never met a girl like you…"

Violet said blushing super hard, "Uh, well, um… Uh…"

"Chooki, don't you have enough dance invites already?!" Ceylon yelled from behind.

"Yeah, stop taking all the hot chicks!" Toxsa yelled.

'Why would I have a feeling Beni's going to be mad?' Violet thought. "Well, I think I'll consider it… See you!"

"Hey Chooki, got rejected by a girl?" Ceylon asked, jokingly.

"Zip it snowcone," Chooki moaned.

"Looks like we'll all be single tomorrow," Toxsa joked. "Not like I care."

"Yeah, you do," Ceylon laughed. "Because you'll never get a date!"

"Hey! You're the same as me, shut it!" Toxsa yelled.

"Only because you two are crazy," Beni said, giving them a shock.

"W-where did you come from?!" Chooki yelled. "W-when?!"

"When we saw you got rejected," Gen shrugged. "Ouch, I guess?"

"You can't even get a date," Chooki snapped back sourly.

"Believe it or not me and Gen got at least five of 'em," Beni said, then said a sentence in a soft voice. "I was planning to go with Guren…"

"What was that?" Chooki asked.

"Nothing," Beni denied.

"You have a crush on Guren?" Chooki asked. "I'm so telling him that!"

"Oh no you won't!" Beni yelled.

"Why on earth do we have to shop for some more?!" Ceylon yelled.

"Because you need a better 'tux' than this," Chooki said, pointing at Toxsa's 'tux', which was a T-shirt with a tuxedo's pattern printed on it.

"Okay, I can see why you never get a date besides you're short," Gen joked.

"Ouch, dude," Toxsa rolled his eyes. "Ow."

"Burn," Chooki laughed.

"I really don't want to go!" Violet pouted. "I even got a dance invite from my best friend! How am I supposed to dance with HIM?!"

"Just give it a rest, you'll grow used to it," Mr Nash said, handing Violet her bag of shopping. "Besides, your friends look nice."

"Dad, are you serious?!" Violet moaned. "It's not funny!"

"It isn't," Mr Nash said. "Maybe it's time you should show your friends."

"And let them laugh to death?" Violet pouted. "Yeah, right."

"Just tell me if you need anything else," Mr Nash chuckled slightly.

"Okay…" Violet said, walking to her room while her watch beeped like crazy, being too frustrated, she just took the call. "Hello?"

"Guren, are you there?" Beni asked. "What happened to your voice- Who are you?"

"B-Beni?!" Violet yelled, looking at the video call she freaked out, without any warning too, which was enough to give her a full-on heart attack.

"Who are you- Why do you have my friends smartwatch- Are you related to him? Are you his sister? Wait, does Guren have a sister?" Beni asked continuously.

"Beni, why are you shooting questions at Guren?" Gen asked.

"Just look," Beni shoved her watch in Gen's face.

"Um… Who's this?" Gen asked.

Violet was stunned, she hadn't been expecting this at all.

"Where's Guren?" Gen asked from the other side.

"G-Gen?!" Violet gasped.

"And why does she know us?" Gen asked.

"Hey, are you related to Guren?" Beni asked.

"Kinda, uh…" Violet panicked on the inside. "Why are you calling?"

"To tell him about tomorrow's dance," Beni said. "Are you his sister?"

"Does he have one?" Gen asked.

Violet sighed, she knew how stubborn they were. "Guys, I'll tell you something him but you'll have to swear not to tell anyone."

"Um… What is it?" Gen asked.

"Gen, promise?!" Violet yelled.

"How did you know my name?!" Gen yelled.

"You're well known for creepiness," Beni said awkwardly.

"Hey!" Gen yelled.

"Yeah, I said that!" Beni snapped jokingly.

"Guys," Violet said through their little quarrel. "Guys!"

"You stay out of this!" They both yelled.

"Guys!" Violet yelled. "I'm Guren!"

"What?!" They both yelled. "Haha! Stop kidding! Just show yourself Guren!"

"I'm not kidding," Violet said. "I was so afraid to show, if they know, I can't be a knight; if I show I'm a girl, they won't think I'm qualified!"

"Wait, you're serious?!" Gen yelled. "Then I'm fighting a girl before?!"

"Yes," Violet said. "You guys have to help me! Chooki gave me a dance invite!"

"He what?!" Beni yelled. "Man, this is crazy."

"Then… What's your real name? I mean, it'd be weird to call you 'Guren', now…" Gen asked.

"Violet," Violet moaned. "Now, help me get out of this!"

"Now I really want to see you in a dress," Beni laughed.

"This-is-serious!" Violet yelled.
