Sidney and I sat in the bed for a while before I got up and started to collect my clothes. I put my pants on and I sit on the bed while putting my shirt on. She had gotten up and is half dressed when I look over at her. I say, "So, what does this mean for us?"

She says, "What do you mean?"

I say, "I mean, was this just a one time fling or could this be more."

She says, "Do you want it to be more?"

I say, "Yes, I do."

She says, "Then yes. I guess we can try to be together."

I say, "You realize that one of us is probably going to die. Right?"

She says, "Then lets enjoy it while it lasts." She comes over and tenderly kisses my lips before saying, "Now, I think you need to go talk to Joe."

I nod and I say, "Oh, yeah." I go out into the living room to see Joseph sitting on the couch. I say, "So..."

He says, "Don't worry, I knew that this would eventually happen at some point. I didn't want to find y'all in that position though, Damn."

I playfully punch him and say, "Well, you were right. We ended up together. Are you happy?"

He chuckles and says, "Yeah. I made it to the big tournament."

I say, "Wow, thats pretty cool. Me too." I hear a voice coming down the hall, "Me three!" Sidney emerges from the hall and sits down next to me.

Just then I check the time, "Hey, there going to announce the participants soon."

Sidney says, "Cool, maybe we'll get more of a challenge this time."

Joseph says, " I actually had quite a good challenge for my qualifier."

I say, "Well, we didn't." I get a notification from my menu. I open it and I see the lists for the tournament participants. In my division is a guy named VanossGaming. Holy fuck, this guy is a youtuber, cool. Another one is named Stormaggedon. He looks like a complete fucking noob, but I guess looks can be deceiving. Next is Joseph. Its cool that he is in my division unless I have to kill him. That is actually making me really nervous. Finally there is a guy named The Hellhawk. He looks very skilled. I'm gonna have to keep an eye on him.

And on the other bracket is Sidney, someone who has a Japanese name, a guy named TechnoG3ak, and a name that will haunt me for the rest of my days, Lucien Algear.
