The shop was silent as Jessie closed the back door looking around the break room she noticed Olette's locker was left slightly open "there you are can't open up shop without you" the voice shouted from the front Olette poked her head into the break room.

"I thought you would still be preparing" Jessie asked placing her purse in her locker "Did you finish already" she asked again yet not hearing Olette respond as she walked into the front taking her key to undo the lock slowly raising the shutter she looked back to noticing Olette hiding behind the large cupboard.

"Hold on, I want to surprise you" Olette pleaded as she fixed the sleeves "Okay" she shouted stepping out into the light.

"You look so cute" Jessie squealed stepping toward her only to slip on the lock once again tackling Olette the two laid on the floor for a few minutes before Jessie spoke up "I hope you win" she finished picking herself up.

"I could use a lucky charm" Olette spoke softly giving a gentle smile her ears still red her eyes seemed to avoid Jessie.

"Will a lucky ring do" Jessie asked opening a small door pulling out a silver ring with a small bell attached "I only have one left" she spoke looking back in to the small hole.

"I thought we restocked every Friday" Olette asked standing up taking the gold ring.

"Yeah, your friend Rai came by yesterday he bought ten" Jessie clarified as she turned to pick up the lock "This little thing is causing a lot of problems" she whispered tossing the lock to the side.

"I guess one for each finger, and he isn't my friend" Olette spoke up as Jessie took the ring from her.

"Twenty five hundred munny" Jessie beamed a smile toward as Olette jaw dropped "It was originally forty five hundred, but I gave you a store discount" she giggled as Olette began to pout.

"Thanks" Olette responded as she took a seat at the counter as the morning tram passed by "care to trade" she asked drawing Jessie's attention.

"No, just remember to return it" she smiled taking Olette's hand and slowly placed the ring on her ring finger drawing out a timid smile from the young teenager.

"Jeez, all that's missing now is a cake and a kiss" she joked turning back to the counter the little bell jingled as she swayed.

"Maybe after you win" Jessie responded giving Olette a slight smile the day continued as the market street was silent with mostly everyone either in the sandlot and the little kids wondering around sunset terrace collecting candy as the sun set Jessie closed the shutter looking over at Olette "Shouldn't you be heading to the sandlot" she asked closing the lock on the shutter.

"Did you mean it, about if I win" Olette asked as Jessie straightened up.

"Oh, is that what you want" Jessie asked giving Olette a puzzled look "I meant it as a joke" she asked again looking back at Olette her face red from ear to ear "Is that really what you want" she looked off toward the back room before giving a sigh "Alright but only if you win" as soon as she finished Olette gave a large smile before running out the door leaving Jessie to contemplate what she had just promised the only thing to snap her out of it was the loud ring off the clock tower "Its twelve, I guess I can clean up tomorrow, or if she loses I can make Olette do it all great options" she spoke as she collected her purse before she headed to the sandlot the flood lights seem to bathe the small area in light the few contestants stood on the usual stage used for struggle fights. Rai stood to the far right dressed as Seifer his fingers jingled as he gave Seifer's usual pose "after this he should take over as the town clock tower" she whispered looking to the person next to him. Hayner stood dressed as mummy although he held plugged his ears from the constant ringing of Rai "well Its better then what I pictured" she continued the next contestant was Pence dressed up as a large bat. The last one in line was Olette he costume seemed to flutter more in the flood lights than in the sun "I guess she is determined" Jessie muttered walking over to the ballet box marking the fourth box. The clock tower rang once again to signal the end of the voting "was that the clock tower or Rai" she wondered stepping back to the bench as the judge stepped up on stage with a small envelope slowly pulling out the card.

"The winner is Rai!" he shouted leading everybody in covering their ears as Rai began to dance around the stage the small bells on his fingers giving off an ear splitting ringing.

"Well, she did her best" Jessie sighed looking off to the side just in time to see Vivi running off to the back ally "What is he up too" she pondered as Seifer chased after him. As the contestants and others began to disperse before Hayner and Pence could drag Olette off to the usual spot Jessie found her way over to her.

"I guess these rings are really lucky huh" Olette spoke with an obvious cloud of depression covered her voice the station seemed quiet as they both sat on the stares.

"You're a winner in my book" Jessie answered leaning over her lips gently touching Olette's the two sat for a few seconds before Jessie pulled back.

"About time" Fuu whispered as Seifer walked up behind her.

"Vivi switched the ballot box" Seifer spoke with disgust in his voice as the two began to walk down the path.

"Olette" Fuu asked stopping in her tracks.

"Don't worry, she won" he replied patting her head "You know sooner or later, you will have to tell her how you feel" Seifer waved her off "We can give her the trophy tomorrow".
