DustBunnyFromTheLostCities: Poprocks have such a weird sensation which is why I like dumping a packet in my mouth and hearing it pop and stuff.

Mysterious M: (: Your nice review made me smile. I really dunno if I want Tam or Dex with Biana. Maybe even Keefe, naw probably not.

TheBooksAreBetterThanTheMovies: Thanks!

Waves-Of-Writing: Same! Oh gosh the red food coloring is so intense. And what even is the flavor?!

Ellie: Ooooh smarties. I usually close my eyes and randomly pick one, then I eat it and try to guess the flavor :)

I am updating past the scedule so thank you all for being patient. And thank you Waves-Of-Writing for being my amazing beta.

The wind whistled in Sophie's ears. Her feet made no sounds as she ran. She stopped, pausing for a second catching her breath. She just located the other team but now she couldn't find them. She sighed. Fitz was getting better at hiding his location. That meant she had to get better at finding him.

A clump of shadows moving caught her eye. It was in the dark shade of several huge trees, but if she squinted she could see that clump moving.

She prepared to run there, but someone got there from far away she could hear Biana.

"Ha! I got you, Tam!" Biana ran up to Tam and tagged his shoulder.

"Shut up." Tam looked at his feet, his dark bangs covering his rolling eyes.

Sophie smirked. One down, three to go.

She ran, not really knowing where she was going. Long blue, grass camouflaged the slick mud that she didn't realise she was stepping in. Sophie slipped and her arms flailed.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she screamed as she fell into the gooey mud.

"Ouch, Foster." Sophie noticed she was lying on top of Keefe. Awkward. But then she realized they were still playing basequest.

Her arm shot out tapping his head and effectively messing up The Hair.

"HEY! What was that for?"

Sophie smirked at him and dashed off. She could feel his glare on the back of her head. 2 down, 2 to go.

Linh, she transmitted, have you found anyone?

Not yet, Linh thought, but I think I saw Dex blinking.

Okay good, I already tagged Keefe and Tam.

Sophie closed her eyes, concentrating. The dark veil that hid Fitz's location became wispier until it was gone. Then it was covered again. It didn't matter, she already knew where he was.

She ran towards the hill with a huge leafy tree. Channelling energy into her legs she leaped up, grabbing a branch and swung herself up and poked the motionless figure.

"Hey, Fitz."

Fitz rolled his eyes.

"No fair. You always get me." Sophie grinned at that.

They both scooted closer.

"Shouldn't you be chasing down Dex?" he murmured in her ear. When he did that it was so hard to concentrate.

"I-I have time." She stammered. Fitz chuckled and wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Be careful, this branch could break," Sophie warned. Fitz smiled.

"No, it won't. It's thicker than you are."

Her eyes widened and then she burst into a fit of giggles.

"Did you just call me fat?"

Fitz blushed.

"NO! That's not what I meant."

Sophie was still giggling.

"I know."

He looked relieved. She gazed into his dreamy teal eyes, and he gazed into her chocolate brown eyes. They leaned closer and closer, their lips barely apart.

That's not a cliffhanger, is it? I was planning to pre-type a bunch of chapters but...yeah.

Do you play an instrument, and is so which ones?

I play cello, piano, and guitar. I self taught violin, viola, and ukelele. I read mostly bass clef since cello is my main instrument. But my treble, tenor and alto are eh.
