We raced towards the Trocadero to watch the race. Lyla butting into my buiness is annoying, but helpful. After Avery's 'brillant' idea of a mini pop up concert that Liam's giving him two weeks to plan for, I could use a break. Between Noble's upcoming projects, Royal on 'break', and Ace taking her place, things are a bit crazy. That alone is enough to stress over, if I weren't for my double life. Since the Grey indicent, Blue Jay and I haven't hung out much, let alone talk. Before we'd email every few days, now I'm lucky if we have time to talk beliefly after a battle. We really need to discuss the faux situtation, but more importantly, I want to know how she's doing./p

There's no need to rush." Illya shouted from behind. Of the two of us, he's the althice one. The fact that I'm ahead of him shows just how exshuated he is. While I'm taking classses and working to get to his and Royal's level. He's been doing the work of two people. Illya works hard and rarely complains, he's devoted to Noble. As his best friend, I want to support him. That's why Ace will take the stage for the first time. Whether or not it's a good idea has yet to be seen./p

Sorry bro." Wave to Illya, I picked up the pace. Since becoming Panda Mime, my physical condition has improved. I'm no Devin, has boundless energy, but I no longer get winded easily. Sometimes I forget to montior my athliceness in front of others. I don't really work out, so there's no reason for me to have more stamina. Gotta do everything possblie to not draw attention to myself./p

Ask for information involving one or both of the duos and she'll give you a mintue by mintue play by play in very descprtive detail. Ask about the class annoyance and it's the barest information. Just enough to get a glimpse as to what happened./p

Emi explained. "You know how Issac and Mara are, things have been worst since the Reporter inccident." Ah, so that's it. Reporter was mine and Blue Jay's very first battle. Mara caused Issac to become fauxed. He's stopped blaming himself about it, but hasn't forgiven Mara. Things weren't the best between them before, however since the Reporter inccident, it's escalated. Issac's been looking for a chance to get back at Mara./p

"There, there. You can just move in with me." Those who don't know Emi and Calex would think their dating. Their so close, they partically live at each others' houses. How their families are okay with that is something we've all be wondering. Even Illya and I need some time away from each other, and we actually live together. Not Emi and Calex, you rarely see one without the other. That's not to say that they don't spend time apart. I've hung out with Calex and a few others without any of the girls around several times. In fact, Calex is one of the main one's cheering me on in my attemps to confess. Boy I'm glad he doesn't see Emi as more than just a friend, otherwise wouldn't stand a chance when I confess./p

Illya asked. Emi gave a thumbs up, but Devin took several moments to respond. He was moving, trying to say something. But his mouth's movements didn't match the words he spoke. It was as if he moved to slow to speak, so the sound reached us as he was beginning another sentence./p

By this point, others nearby had noticed my golden clad cousin. This allowed us to sneak away completely unnoticed. /p

We raced towards the Trocadero to watch the race. Lyla butting into my buiness is annoying, but helpful. After Avery's 'brillant' idea of a mini pop up concert that Liam's giving him two weeks to plan for, I could use a break. Between Noble's upcoming projects, Royal on 'break', and Ace taking her place, things are a bit crazy. That alone is enough to stress over, if I weren't for my double life. Since the Grey indicent, Blue Jay and I haven't hung out much, let alone talk. Before we'd email every few days, now I'm lucky if we have time to talk beliefly after a battle. We really need to discuss the faux situtation, but more importantly, I want to know how she's doing./p

There's no need to rush." Illya shouted from behind. Of the two of us, he's the althice one. The fact that I'm ahead of him shows just how exshuated he is. While I'm taking classses and working to get to his and Royal's level. He's been doing the work of two people. Illya works hard and rarely complains, he's devoted to Noble. As his best friend, I want to support him. That's why Ace will take the stage for the first time. Whether or not it's a good idea has yet to be seen./p

Sorry bro." Wave to Illya, I picked up the pace. Since becoming Panda Mime, my physical condition has improved. I'm no Devin, has boundless energy, but I no longer get winded easily. Sometimes I forget to montior my athliceness in front of others. I don't really work out, so there's no reason for me to have more stamina. Gotta do everything possblie to not draw attention to myself./p

Ask for information involving one or both of the duos and she'll give you a mintue by mintue play by play in very descprtive detail. Ask about the class annoyance and it's the barest information. Just enough to get a glimpse as to what happened./p

Emi explained. "You know how Issac and Mara are, things have been worst since the Reporter inccident." Ah, so that's it. Reporter was mine and Blue Jay's very first battle. Mara caused Issac to become fauxed. He's stopped blaming himself about it, but hasn't forgiven Mara. Things weren't the best between them before, however since the Reporter inccident, it's escalated. Issac's been looking for a chance to get back at Mara./p

How their families are okay with that is something we've all be wondering. Even Illya and I need some time away from each other, and we actually live together. Not Emi and Calex, you rarely see one without the other. That's not to say that they don't spend time apart. I've hung out with Calex and a few others without any of the girls around several times. In fact, Calex is one of the main one's cheering me on in my attemps to confess. Boy I'm glad he doesn't see Emi as more than just a friend, otherwise wouldn't stand a chance when I confess./p

Your stuipd bet with Aero!" She waved her hand towards the female figure clad in a golden track suit, with her hair pulled back into a glammoring ponytail held in place by a golden ribbon. "Your cousin has been fauxed or akumaizted!"/p

Calex took a step towards her. "Mara, I've known you all my life. Whether you have powers or not, your still an annoying brat. I've gotten use to expecting the worst from you." He said matter-of-factly./p

Only makes sense she'd go after you." Calex explained, before pushing Emi and Devin out of the why. La Vitesse snaked her hand out, trying to grab them. She missed Emi, but lightly brushed Devin's arm./p

Illya asked. Emi gave a thumbs up, but Devin took several moments to respond. He was moving, trying to say something. But his mouth's movements didn't match the words he spoke. It was as if he moved to slow to speak, so the sound reached us as he was beginning another sentence./p

Emi whisphered. Seeing that Sylive was trying to talk some sense into Mara and the guys were helping Devin, we used the moment to sneak away. By this point, others nearby had noticed my golden clad cousin. This allowed us to sneak away completely unnoticed. /p

Emi ordered. She usually doesn't like he tagging along during her battles, but knows I can be helpful. Sometimes she'll create plans that take advantgous of my presence. "Pixxy, Let's Soar!" In a flash of blue light, Blue Jay stood in Emi's place. "Be extra careful, Mara might try to use you and Sylive."/p
