NOTE: Seriously, I am on a fan fic fix! *dances* Fourth chapter of the day!

The notice came exactly three days after the new soldiers had arrived- seven weeks after Prince gained command of Hawk.
BATTLE NOTICE
Dragon Army
Commander: Ender Wiggin
1100 hours
It was 1047 and she was in her private quarters. "SHIT!" Prince sprinted out of her private room. If she caught her army now, then they could get ready and not be late. Prince pulled on her flash suit like there was no tomorrow and sprinted out of her room and down the corridor.
She stopped abruptly and saw them. "Hawk Army!" They turned. "We have a battle!" She sprinted towards them and crashed into one of her new soldiers; they all toppled over.
Of course, their opponents, the legendary Dragon Army, commanded by the most celebrated commander in the school, Ender Wiggin, happened to be jogging past at that moment. "HALT!"
Enders walked up (down) to Prince, as she lay there in a heap. "This is who we're fighting? I thought you were good."
Ender rose and jogged back to the head of his army. As Dragon moved further and further away, Prince shook her fist in the air and called out, "I'll get you, Wiggin, and your little army too!"
Lex, still lying there, asked, "Uh… Prince, don't we have a battle to get to?"
Prince, now red in the face said "Fuck! Hawk Army to the battle room!"
They arrived. Prince sent Lukas to check it out. He came back.
"Clear, bright. They haven't come out yet either."
"Thank you."
As Hawk Army received their orders from Prince, they carried them out. "A and E go left and right! B and C, up and down! D goes straight out! I'll be with A! Let's go, go, go!"
It was a brutal affair; the battle had no clear winner until the last few minutes. Dragon pulled a crazy stunt, and so won the battle.
Prince cursed as she felt herself freeze. She saw her opponents pass through the gate. The lights came on as the game ended. Anderson came in to personally congratulate Ender. "Congratulations, commander."
Dragon Army formed up and Hawk Army unfroze. Prince rebounded (she was close to a wall) and slowed herself to receive Ender's formal surrender. She shook his hand. "Congrats, Ender. Good game."
He shook it.
It wasn't Hawk's first battle; their ratio of wins to losses was 5:2, so Prince wasn't too humiliated as she walked into the commanders' mess for lunch. Prince got her tray, and placed it next to Dink, then slid onto the bench, extremely close to him. As they discussed whatever happened to them that day, Prince saw Ender sitting alone. "I'll be right back, guys." She rose and walked over to Ender.
"Ender?"
He looked up. "Yes, Prince?"
"I noticed that you were sitting alone. Do you want to come and sit with me?"
"Sure." Ender mentally put her on his list of people that qualified as human beings. He rose, and walked to her table.
He slid onto the bench, and resumed eating. Petra was across from him, with Mome and Rox and either side. Across from Petra was Prince and on either side of her was Dink and Ender. Next to Ender sat Dina and across from her sat Frost.
They all began to talk and unknown to any of them, a new era began: an era of friendship.

After the battle, Prince still had her army come to practice. They gathered around her in the middle of the battle room disappointed.
"Cheer up, Hawks. Know this, we've still won twice as many battles than we've lost. That is great guys! We're still in the top five, at number two! We can do this! HAWK!" Prince bellowed the last word; it echoed in the battle room, which apparently had some pretty damn good acoustics.
"ARMY!" Hawk yelled back.
Prince divided Hawk into two mini-armies, A, B and half of C toons against the rest of them. Prince commanded one force, and Uri commanded the other half. Uri's half won, though barely.
After the mock-battle, Prince assigned a couple of moves for the army to drill. They did them and did them right.

NOTE: The chapters are better now, aren't they? I think so.
