[I]"We love you Jay! [/I]

"What the heck is all that-" Ace turned to see the group of fangirls around Japhet. She noticed them all staring in her direction, and then she turned to the boy next to her. With a roll of her eyes, she scoffed. "Fangirls? Really? How cliché." He looked a little shocked she would say such a thing, but ultimately ended up laughing, albeit in embarrassment. 

"Uh, yeah..Ha, I don't know where they came from..." The boy, known apparently as Jay gave a small shrug, but decided to focus on the race. 

"Sure you don't. That's what they all say." Before he could try to defend his modest title, another interrupted the two. "Hey, you're the guy from the airship." As he greeted them and spoke, his female companion made Ace huff slightly. "Hmph, what a stuck up-" She was interrupted by Lavi who told them not to mind her. "Good luck." Ri giggled and looked at the humans. 

"I think you'll need it more." 

Ace fixed her goggles and watched as a man in a suit walked forward. As soon as he said go, Ace's foot pressed the button to get the board hovering. She watched as metal straps held her feet down and then she started to lift up. The other contestants lifted in the air and took off. Ace managed to take off with the others, but not without leaning too far back and causing her board to do a full loop. The audience thought she was doing tricks, but really Ace was trying to keep from crashing into people and hoping to have better luck than her friends behind her. "This...This is AWESOME! Woo!" Even though she started to zig zag, somehow Ace managed to make everything that was an accident, seem like a trick. But then again, that was her entire life: 

'Just make it look like you know what you're doing...and then eventually you'll get somewhere.' 

Jay had noticed Riley having some troubles and decided to fly near her. He was careful not to be crashed into, before asking. "Would you like some help?" 

Ace found a decent speed to go at that wouldn't send her haywire. She decided to cruise at that pace for a moment before trying to speed up again. And in her company, Lavi decided to join her. "I wish I could help but we'd all be in a mess if I tried to- and hey look, the lover boy has it handled." She looked back to see Jayce showing Riley and Toby how to balance and fly straight. Her attention turned back to Lavi when he tossed her the chocolate bar. "Oh, thanks." When she caught it, Ace swerved some but she quickly straightened out. Knowing she couldn't multitask like the gentleman next to her, she slipped the bar into her vest pocket. 

"Oh gosh, there's traps too?" That was answered when a ball was headed straight for her. Instead of moving to the right, Ace leaned backwards, letting the board deflect the hit. It repelled the oncoming ball and made it hit someone a little ways ahead, causing them to fall onto the invisible net. "Whoops..." 

Lavi chuckled at the result and clapped. "How innovative! Although, it's not a wise idea to be flying backwards." 

"I'm working on it, I'm working on it." The way she was, Ace could spot Riley, Toby, and Ran a little ways behind her. "Hey! Ran watch out! Riley, Toby to your left!" She saw the cannons aiming towards the three lagging behind. But before she could see if they managed to dodge it, she was pushed so she was facing the right way. "Hey what was that-"

"You may want to pay attention to the front. If I may give my opinion." He pointed out the upcoming bars that they would have to either go over or under. 

"Oh. Thanks. That would have probably hu- oof! Right... Right in the side..." Ace was hot right in the side by one of those dodge balls the cannons shot out. Luckily, the latches holding her feet down were still on, so she didn't go flying off. But, she did end up zig zagging until the shock of the hit died down. "Whew, I need to pay more attention. That could've been my face or something."
