“Dancing?” Helga repeated the word to herself, and bit her lip as she held her hips, slowly shifting them from side to side in thought. “Never done it, but sure. Fighting is a kind of dance, right? I’m sure that would be fun to do as well.” The two walked outside the Arena. “But maybe I should get some practice moving around. I happened to hear some of the girls mention volleyball, and I kinda wanna check that out.”

[color=PeachPuff]”Oh! I’d also like to play Volleyball.”[/color] Su nodded and smiled. [color=PeachPuff]”I didn’t realize you had such a competitive spirit. But I guess that’s why you’re so good at your Hotel responsibilities. You’re constantly challenging yourself.”[/color] She placed a hand on her chin. [color=PeachPuff]”I should renovate the upper floors of the hotel. There are a lot of rooms made for those sorts of activities.”[/color]

“Upper floors? If anything, I think the ground floor could use a gym,” Helga commented, nudging Su playfully on her shoulder.

Su only had time to blush before a bottle of lotion flew into Helga and Su’s hands.

[color=tomato]“Hi Helga, Hi su!”[/color] It was Mika, still loaded up with way too many lotion bottles.

Helga waved to Mika. “Yo, Mika! Thanks for the lotion: I think I’m burning up something fierce here, heh.” She opened up the bottle, and began coating her arm.

[color=tomato]“And before I forget: Big news! You know how Penny was the terrible one’s champion, and we had to do everything in our power to stop her for Boteg?”[/color] She pranced over to the two of them. [color=tomato]“She abandoned him! So she’s not his champion anymore! We can be friends and play together!”[/color]

When she heard Mika speak; she accidentally crushed the lotion bottle in her hand, spraying herself in the face. “Pfff-What?” She wiped her face with a towel Dan graciously happened to offer. “No way, really! Is she a Solo now? Or is it because of those White Coins?” She looked at Su. “I’m going to that game: I need to see for myself.” She then began running as fast as she can, leaving only dust behind her. “See you girls later!”

Su was still absorbing the information when Helga sped off. [color=PeachPuff]”I hope she remembers to ask about Amber’s boat.”[/color] She turned to Mika. [color=PeachPuff]”Where did you hear this?”[/color] 

[color=tomato]“She told me herself!”[/color] Mika ran towards the beach. [color=tomato]“Gotta get these to Lupa and Hilaria!”[/color]And just like that, Su was alone again. 

[color=PeachPuff]”Curious.”[/color] No point worrying about it now. [color=PeachPuff]”Guess I might as well find something to do too.”[/color]

But Su would not have to wait very long for that. With so many girls around, it was only a matter of time before someone else aproched her.

[color=e5559b]"Hi Su!"[/color] Regina ran up to Su [color=e5559b]"Did someone say Volleyball? I freaking love Volleyball!"[/color] She reached for Su’s arm, but she pulled away sharply.

[color=PeachPuff]”Weren’t you going to do a Keijo match or something?”[/color]

[color=e5559b]"They left without saying a word! Boo! No fun!"[/color] Regina reached for Su’s other arm, this time successfully grabbing onto it. [color=e5559b]"We should play some Volleyball! I can tell you’re feeling stressed out, and a physical sport like that would be good for you!"[/color]

Su fret her brow. [color=PeachPuff]”Are you the one who dug up Amber’s body, dragged it to a graveyard, and used it in a ritual?”[/color]

Regina’s smile broadened. [color=e5559b]"I learned my lesson, and I’ll never do it again."[/color] Su groaned and was about to pull away when Regina kept talking. [color=e5559b]”I would sincerely like to anthologize for the atrocities I’ve committed against you and everyone around me. I feel horrible about what I’ve done, and I would do anything to change the past. But  I’ve taken something from you that can never be replaced. No amount of good deeds can ever erase what I’ve done, and I’m not going to try. So instead, I’d like to enrich the lives of those around me.”[/color] Regina hugged Su’s arm against her chest. [color=e5559b]"It won’t be just you and I, promise. More people will show up to play. We can play on opposing teams if that makes you feel more comfortable."[/color]

Su looked at Regina with scorn. It was evident the beacon girl was nervous. She was shifting her weight from foot to foot, avoiding making direct eye contact with Su. [color=PeachPuff]”One game.”[/color] Su wanted to just throw Regina to the ground and be on her way, but she was making an effort to put her anger behind herself. Helga was a decent person and she had done things on par with what Regina had done. If Regina wanted a chance, she would give it to her. Just one though. 

[color=e5559b]"You are an angel from heaven!"[/color] Regina held onto Su’s arm and walked towards the beach. [color=e5559b]"You won’t regret this at all Su! Not one bit!"[/color]
