Crim: *gives Warp a little smile* I think I can allow that. *will head off, handing Stars a cube so he can fuel*
Sun: *will pass out cubes to his family too* *to Zero only* //Do you think you can beat him?//
Zero: //What?// *glances sidelong at Sun.*
Sun: //Do you think you can beat Starscream?:/
Zero: //....maybe. Why?//
Sun: //Because if you do then she will sell Stars to me for the price of the winnings. But Warp and TC can't know because if they know, Stars will know, and if Stars knows he'll throw the fight, and if he throws the fight she'll know and the deal will be off, and--//
Zero: *gives Sun's shoulder a squeeze* //I understand. I'll do mu best, Sun, and I won't tell Thundercracker, Skywarp, or Starscream. I swear it.//
Sun: *shoulders sag just a little and he gives Zero a weak smile.* //I-I'm sorry I didn't ask you first.//
Zero: //You made the right choice. I'll give you my best, it's all we can do.//
*they'll reach the arena and Crim will pay a double entry fee...for Stars and Zero.*
Sun: *won't look at anyone*
Zero: *doesn't react, he knew by then.*
