Winning and planning a party!

"How the f--" Mask starts but stops when Skull elbows him hard in the side. "OW!"

"YOU'RE ASKING THAT!?" I shout at Mask, anger clear in my voice. "Why the hell do I have to be BAIT for you guys to paint?" I ask, crossing my arms.

"Oh, come on, Aloha. You don't stay mad for more than about ten minutes so it's not even worth getting mad over it. Besides you managed to run away from them, why are you so mad?" Skull asks, turning to me, pulling Mask away a few feet.

"Why am I mad?" I ask, letting my arms drop to my sides. "ARE YOU SERIOUS!?" I screamed at him. "UGH!" I glare at Skull who just shrugs. "YOU ARE INFURIATING."

"Calm down, Aloha. You did good out there and besides we won, you shouldn't be mad. Why not go plan a party with Team Pink or something...?" Army asks, grabbing my shoulder. I turn to face him, my face softening. He suddenly backs up, pulling away from me. I quickly turn away from him, back to Skull and Mask.

"Sure, whatever," I mumbled, walking up to Team Pink.

"Good job, Aloha! That was crazy! You were the center of attention!" Octo yelps, jumping up and down in celebration.

"No, I was bait for them," I say, sourly.

"Okay? So? You still showed them up. What did they do? Just get hit? You didn't get hit until last second so the enemy team couldn't do anything! That's great!" Diver (Snorkel) said, punching my shoulder lightly.

"Yeah, I guess so, but it was all luck. That's it. That's the only reason and that Army was with me. If Army hadn't been with me I would've been hit sooner. He took the hits," I admit.

"Oh, well! Shall we throw a party~?!" Straw asks, interrupting our conversation.

"Uh, sure. We can, yeah," I smile at them and we walk away. I could feel someone watching me. I didn't know who...I turned around to see who it was, stopping where I was.

"Aloha?" Diver turns to me. "You good?" He asks. I turn away, to him, nodding.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go~!" I chirp, rushing up to them.

"First you need to get changed, you are kinda filthy. She hit you as the match ended, wow, so unfortunate for her. She really wanted to get you, L-O-L!" Octo points out, giggling into her hand. I sigh and look down at my shirt, it was covered in black paint. I smile at Octo.

"You're right, this is no party shirt."

---Army POV---

I watched Aloha walk over to his team. Why was I staring? I don't know, it's just...him. I didn't really understand it...but it was Aloha. What do I care? I snapped silently at myself. ...Everything. I need to talk to him about this before it kills me. I should not be acting like this. He suddenly stops and I look away but from the corner of my eye I saw his eyes land on me. My heart fluttered, and I mentally cursed myself. "Sir?" Forge asks, I turn to her, happy for an excuse.

---Skull POV---

I steered Mask away from Army. "I need to talk to you," I said, waiting until we were alone.

"You notice it too, don't you?" Mask asks me before I can say anything.

"Huh?" I ask.

"Them." Mask says, nodding to the door we just went through.

"Oh, Army and Aloha? Yeah, I do. I was going to talk to you about it," I admit, sheepishly, rubbing the back of my head slightly before letting my hand drop.

"Why? Does it bother you?" Mask tilts his head. "Hyuk, if it does-"

"No, that's not it. They...just they're distracted in our battles recently. I'm actually thinking about..." I whisper the rest of my comment to Mask.

"You're serious?" He asks, turning to me, his eyes a little shocked...just barely. You had to really know Mask to see any emotion on his face.

"Yes," I say, nodding. "We have a match with Emperor in two weeks. I want it done before then."

"Okay, sure thing. I'll help you." Mask says, shrugging. "What harm can come?"

---Prinz POV (I will try to show more "POV's" for you guys)---

I was walking with my brother, talking about his recent training. In two weeks, my brother would join our team again just for a match so we could fight Team S4. I smiled as he tells me about how he was helping a girl with her turf war battles. She said she was a big fan. I snickered at my brother, who turns to me a little shocked.

"What is it, Prinz?" He asks, looking at me.

"Oh, nothing. I just-" I pointed to a girl in the far distance who had been following us for a while. "You said she had red hair and she had been following you for a while," I said. Emperor turns to see the girl.

"Oh."

"Yeah, is that her?" I ask.

"Yeah, that is. She refused to tell me her name, but, she looks familiar, doesn't she? Like only if she changed her outfit and hair color and style she would someone else..." His voice trailed off in thought. "I dunno." He says, after a moment of thought. I shrug and wave her over.

"H-Hello." She says, waving and approaching us. "I-I'm sorry I f-followed you, sir."

She sounded familiar too...I looked at her, confused. "Do I know you?" I ask her. She seems to have a mini panic attack.

"Ah! No! You don't know me! You probably just think I look like someone that you know but I don't know you- err...not personally! I don't know you personally! Anyway, bye, gotta go!!" She yelps, I grab her wrist. She turns to me quickly. "Um. Did you need something?"

"I know you," I said. "If your hair was pink and put down then you would look and sound like a member of Team Pi-" I was cut off by her.

"Team Pink!? ME? I'm so bad at turf wars, though! Haha, silly, I could never be on- ALOHA! Ahh, I really, really, really, have to go! I'm sorry!!" She yanks her wrist away from me and runs away. I stare after her.

"Who did she look like?" My brother asks me.

"A member of Team Pink..." I mutter to Emperor. He was deep in thought for a moment.

"Is that Aloha's team?" He asks. I nod. "From the S4? Why would she follow me around? She's on the S4, isn't she? Unless...she asked me to fight...I'm an idiot!" Emperor storms off.

"Wha-? Brother!" I chase after him, finally catching up. "I'm confused, what is it?"

"She's from Team Pink, right? So, if we have a match in two weeks, she's going to want to watch all my matches and she's going to want to know my moves. Dang."

"Oh...would Aloha really do that though? Maybe you should confront her? Or Aloha? He's over there. And he's with Diver. Both the girls are missing," I say.

"Oh, yeah, they are. Let's go chat with them."

"Okay!" I chirp and follow Emperor over to Aloha and Diver.

---Aloha POV---

The girl's were going to get the party supplies and invite people, like always. I'd lost track of them both when we first left so Diver and I were just wondering around at this point. "Dude, is that Octo?" He asks, pointing. "Why is-" He was cut off by a familiar voice.

"Hello, Aloha."

I turned around to face Emperor. "Heya, Emperor~!" I chime, waving at him.

"How are you? Where are the girl's at?"

"I'm good~! The girl's? Ah, well, I'm not too sure. They both ran off a while ago. How about you~?" I chirp, noticing Prinz behind Emperor. Still as shy as before. I smile softly at Prinz who gives me a shy smile in return.

"The King is doing fine." Emperor says, nudging his brother a little.

"H-Hi." Prinz greets. I wave at him. Diver smiles brightly.

"Heya, little Prince!" Diver teases. I give Diver a playful look, he snickers.

Prinz's face flushed and he stares at the ground, his brother nudges him again. Prinz looks up at him, Emperor smiles.

"You know them, why so shy?" Emperor asks Prinz.

"Ah, well, I- I only really met Aloha...and t-that wasn't even for l-long..." He stutters. I laugh at Prinz who's face flushes again.

"I-! I'm sorry!" I apologize. "I wasn't laughing at you!" I promised then I smile at Prinz and say, "I just think it's funny how you can be so shy around someone you've met. I'm friendly, I promise I don't bite. But, Diver might. He's like a shark-"

In response, Diver opens his mouth and snaps his teeth together, biting the air, making a clicking noise. Prinz looks up and snickers quietly.

"Nah, I won't eat the King or the Prince, but no promises to anyone else!" Diver says, laughing.

"Aloha! ALOHA! ALLLOOOOHHHAAA!!" I heard Straw scream, running up to me, waving her hands in the air. "ALOHAIFOUNDTHEMOSTPERFECTTHEMEFOROURPARTYOHMYGOD!! LISTENTOTHIS!!" She screams at me, running up to me and jumping up and down.

"Do what?" Diver asks.

"She found the perfect theme for our party and she wants us to hear her out," I tell Diver, smiling.

"How do you hear all that? All I heard was a lot of screaming- People are staring at us, quit screaming, Straw."

"So, WHO CARES ABOUT THAT?!" Straw yells in excitement.

"Ahh, well, we'll be taking our leave, see you later, Aloha, Diver." Emperor says, waving to us. I wave back and watch them leave.

"Now, what is the theme, Straw?" I ask her, she bursts into an explanation. Diver looked lost because of how loud and fast she was talking. I sighed and turned to him.

"Ah, okay, so, you want to do an underwater theme and you found a really awesome party deco place that has a bunch of cool stuff? And you asked around and people said they would totally come? Awesome, lead the way!" I explain to him. Diver gives me a shocked look.

"You have a superpower, don't you?" He asks, I snicker and shake my head.

"No, I'm used to it. Let's hurry~!" I say, smiling at Diver. He nods and we run after Straw.
