The next day it is finally morning at the Blueberry Academy. The sun is out and the water is flowing outside. Lacey is still asleep on her bed in her dorm cuddling her Snubbull plush until a call on her Rotom Phone wakes her up.

"Nnggh... huh...?" Lacey rubs her eyes. "Someone is calling me... it's Florian... what does he want during this time of day...?"

"Hello?" Lacey says.

"Hey, Lacey! You know, I feel we should spend a bit more time together," Florian says.

Lacey suddenly blushes.

"W-What? T-Together? W-What are you talking about?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. Together as friends, just like when we first met. Let's meet at the Coastal Biome at the Terrarium near your arena. We went to the coastal biome together before, so it'll be a bit like old times."

"Um... alright... I just got up... let me get ready first..."

"Alright! See you there!"

After the call, Lacey gets up from bed. She grabs her Nest Balls on her desk and decides to go to the cafeteria before departing to the terrarium because she feels hungry. There she sees Crispin sitting at a table.

"Oh, hey, Lacey!" Crispin says as he waves his hand at her.

"Oh, Crispin! What are you doing here?" Lacey asks.

"Remember when I said I'd cook something real fire yesterday? Well here it is!" Crispin says as he unveils a sandwich.

"A... sandwich...? What's so special, or "fire", about that?" Lacey inquires.

"It's not just any sandwich! It's a super-spicy sandwich! Like the one that Florian made in my elite trial! I was going to share it to all of you, but I guess you can have a bite! Here!" Crispin cuts off a slice of the sandwich and gives it to Lacey.

"Um... I appreciate you generosity... but I don't know if I can handle it..." Lacey tries her best not to be mean.

"It's alright! I did remove a few jalapeños, but I'm sure it's still fine!" Crispin holds out a slice of the sandwich towards Lacey with a smile.

"Uh... fine... I guess I'll take a bite..."

Lacey takes the sandwich and takes off her glove from her right hand and takes a small bite.

"Well?" Crispin says.

Lacey doesn't taste anything special for a while, but after a few seconds she starts sweating profusely.

"Uh... C-Crispin?" Lacey stammers. "The sandwich is... a bit... too..."

Lacey then starts screaming from the spiciness and desperately tries to find something to cool her off.

"W-WATER! IS THERE ANY WATER!?"

"Oh no... What have I done?" Crispin worries.

"P-Pressuring people to eat things they don't want!? I-It's just not right!!" Lacey quickly puts her hands on the shape of an X while shaking.

"D-Don't you have a Pokémon that could-"

"Oh right! P-Primarina! Use Sparkling Aria!"

"Wait! You're doing that in here!?" Crispin says.

Lacey's Primarina splashes sparkling arias all over the cafeteria getting all the students present in there wet and turn the entire place into complete pandemonium.

After a while the dust eventually settles. Lacey is against the wall soaking and Crispin used his frying pan as a shield to protect from the Primarina's attacks.

Crispin walks over to Lacey.

"Um... sorry Lacey... maybe I should've made it much less spicy for you... The rest of my sandwich is all soggy and ruined now... so I guess you don't have to worry about eating it again..." Crispin says with a regretful expression.

Lacey gets up and returns her Primarina back to her Pokéball.

"It's alright... it's on me... I decided to eat it and you didn't force me... you just pressured me... and I definitely overreacted a bit too much... Don't worry... it's fine... I have to go meet someone else anyways..."

Crispin watches Lacey walk out of the cafeteria still soaking wet from the recent event.

"That wasn't heat... it was a total meltdown..." Crispin says with a sigh.
