Jack quickly dodged Kaz's incoming fist. He knew enough about them from their sparing sessions to know their fighting habits. Then, thinking quickly, he pushed them to the floor, using their momentum against them.

Kaz was quick to get up, despite their momentary shock. "You're getting good." Kaz said with a smirk.

"Dang right I am." Jack replied with a prideful and menacing grin. Then he lunged at them, but it was dodged and Jack found himself on the ground with Kaz standing on top of him before he could get up.

Kaz made sure Jack was pinned down without any lasting damage being done to his smaller body, "Although, you should've prevented me from getting back up."

Jack huffed. Kaz was heavy, even though they had honeycomb bones and flight bladders filled with light and combustible gasses.

"Yield?"

Jack tried to wiggle free, but couldn't. "Yes."

Kaz smiled then got off him. Then they helped him up.

"You lasted over an hour." Kaz remarked, "I say that's improvement."

"Still not good enough." Jack complained.

Kaz gave him a reassuring smile, "You can't be great overnight."

Jack huffed.

"Oh, that reminds me!" Kaz suddenly exclaimed, "My niece Rory, her school's science fair is this evening. Wanna come?"

Jack wasn't sure. Sure, he liked science, but from his experience, science fairs were mostly lame. Most of what was presented were lame projects that were either assigned or stuff anyone could do. Although Jack always won some sort of ribbon or prize, he always felt like the odd one out. Coming up with something scifi, while the others made something ordinary. Even the kid who made their own camera was somehow less nerdy then him.

"It'll be fun." Kaz pointed out, "She made mech suits for hamsters!"

"Hamsters?" Jack asked, confused.

"They're more cooperative than weasels."

"What about rats?"

Kaz shrugged their shoulders, "She didn't want to." Then they asked again, "So wanna come?"

It did seem interesting. Although, who wouldn't want to see hamsters control robots? Then a thought came to him. "Like, as your date?"

Kaz immediately blushed. "If you want to. I don't have a problem with that, but if you just want to go as friends, I also wouldn't mind."

Jack couldn't help but blush. He did like the idea of being Kaz's date, but he also wanted to just be their plus one. "Um, uh... I wouldn't mind being your date." Then he gave a nervous grin followed by a nervous laugh.

Kaz also smiled, the smile was less nervous than Jack's, but still nervous.
