Today is the first real date with Alyson but I don’t know how to do this. Should I call or should I wait?

Alyson: “Sorry if I woke you up Alphon.”

Really?! Do I have to live as Alphon even in my room just in case she calls? No, all I need to do is change my upper body. I’m fine, I can do this.
318Please respect copyright.PENANAH2bra4kIMg
318Please respect copyright.PENANA2wBpdRPVea
I calm down and close my eyes. In a few moments, my face and neck look and hopefully sounds like, Alphon. But it feels weird to look like this without the whole package.

Alyson: “I’ll just leave the location of where I want to go. Still take your time, as long as you’re there by 11:30 we’re good.”
318Please respect copyright.PENANAFacWkNvK44
318Please respect copyright.PENANA6MWEOEw8Bq
It’s 9:30 right now, that’s more than enough time. But knowing Alyson she’ll be there by 11 so I’ll beat her by 10 minutes. Still leaves me an hour and 10 minutes, 10 minutes left over for travel.
318Please respect copyright.PENANAsUidZ6zvqT
318Please respect copyright.PENANAvlJMfFvKeJ
I’ll eat breakfast and learn more about this “Crimson Battlefield”. I’m starting to get scared that the date is a trap to kill me. Can never be too sure.

I’m starting to question the benefits of being tall now…

Alyson: “So that’s, the plan. Got it?”

We all nod in time for the ring to sound the start of the match. We march into the darkness with, I’ll call him silent, leading.
318Please respect copyright.PENANAhMDaaJ47d6
318Please respect copyright.PENANAunmGWIVIOy
The march through the fog was uneventful until I automatically dodge the laser. I didn’t move faster than the laser but somehow moved before they fired…like I did this before.

No words needed, my group returned fire to the left side of the arena. It was a quick firefight since the other team decided to change locations. In the end, we took out 1 person based on their overacted scream of defeat.
318Please respect copyright.PENANATKDbeAN6eB
318Please respect copyright.PENANAYCeVr9J0n6
Alyson: “Impressive, I didn’t know you could dodge something like that.”
318Please respect copyright.PENANAWXdKFyasuE

Nao: “I was lucky.”

Alyson: “I like modesty.”

“One of you should take that position up above, a good line of sight on everything.”
318Please respect copyright.PENANAsnWGrHFqdo
318Please respect copyright.PENANAayvyFp8Myb
Alyson: “Got it, you go for it.”

She sends the most normal guy in the group to secure the tower. The rest of us begin stalking the other team that escaped to a new position.
318Please respect copyright.PENANAOGFuBDHRvX
318Please respect copyright.PENANAPvXKNTESi0
Again, I predicted a shot and pushed Alyson to the ground before it hit her.

Alyson: “We’re going a bit fast aren’t we?”
318Please respect copyright.PENANAaD8XrfybOM
318Please respect copyright.PENANA9VoGYjRU5V
Nao: “Sorry.”
318Please respect copyright.PENANAVylds2YK2Y

Alyson: “No problem, these guys really like to hit and run.”

“Can you two get up, I think they’re closing in.”
318Please respect copyright.PENANAFhVGqU3IfU
318Please respect copyright.PENANAN81BcsyZvj
We get up and take positions behind some blocks. He’s right, they don’t seem to be running anymore but enclosing us.
318Please respect copyright.PENANAgdEh1DI92r
318Please respect copyright.PENANAfCyvxcB7ET
Alyson: “That’s fine, we have a sniper that will take them as soon as they come out.”
318Please respect copyright.PENANA4fMUkcRFNj

We instinctively dodged out of the lasers in different directions. These lasers didn’t come from the front but behind.
318Please respect copyright.PENANAthd4UeFWrB
318Please respect copyright.PENANAvpTmOsxdvb
Alyson: “What the hell?”
318Please respect copyright.PENANA1NxDnoNuvV
318Please respect copyright.PENANAkoRzek8VMN
“Did our sniper get taken out?”
318Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7W6orbPlE
318Please respect copyright.PENANA7i27sBt0b5
That’s not all, I’m separated from the group and silent is out too. Now it’s 3 to 4.
318Please respect copyright.PENANAV5juhQlZpM

“What know leader?”
318Please respect copyright.PENANAxhiZGFaoPe

Alyson: “We need to find a position where we’re not flanked.”
318Please respect copyright.PENANA3VEAImDNom
318Please respect copyright.PENANAffxGIOyqP5
I can see the strike force aiming for my position while I can feel the sniper keeping sights on everything.
318Please respect copyright.PENANAKiCgBngBE5
318Please respect copyright.PENANAxPRt1wmJQw
I might be cheating a bit but Alyson does want to win and it’s a great way to make an impression.

I create the illusion that their armor is flashing as if they got hit. Instantly, I can hear confusion among the three. Only one of them can see their lights flashing. When the others try to prevent him from leaving, I sprint out of my position.
318Please respect copyright.PENANAD8YBl4Jdqt
318Please respect copyright.PENANA2FaZUVI2kc
I hit 2 of them, including the one I used illusion on while dodge rolling out of potential fire. I keep running hoping neither the sniper or the last guy hit me.

No. I look to my armor chest but it’s not flashing. I turn to see an angry guy, the one I failed to take out, leaving the field. Behind him was Alyson, I guess she knew when to jump in.
318Please respect copyright.PENANAEpExaefg0A
318Please respect copyright.PENANAhGmcmK12XI
I crotch, wary of the sniper, and make it to Alyson’s new defensive position.
318Please respect copyright.PENANAJC12JnHs0d

Nao: “Hey you.”
318Please respect copyright.PENANAdR9zMJKxI1

Alyson: “That was some good moves back there. Where did you learn to move like that even with your size?”
318Please respect copyright.PENANAioiP5aS1tC

Nao: “Maybe this isn’t my first game.”

You have no idea.

Nao: “Now what? How do you get to the sniper?”
318Please respect copyright.PENANAnZpSrfNi60

Alyson: “Oh, we won already.”

Nao: “We what?”
318Please respect copyright.PENANAdTAPiMNl9h
318Please respect copyright.PENANA61LDiJ2npn
Alyson: “The sniper is too focused on us. He’ll try to leave the tower but our teammate will be there waiting for him. So we’ll win in 3…2….”
318Please respect copyright.PENANAz9WMnHZEL6
318Please respect copyright.PENANA2NQsBOHE6x
Just like that, the bell sounded and declared us the victors.
318Please respect copyright.PENANAMIRgGKwoPx

Nao: “Wow, you’re incredible.”
318Please respect copyright.PENANAGy6oZBPHJV
318Please respect copyright.PENANAL4g05kC6EL
Alyson: “I know, but I could’ve been better. I lost two guys, I should’ve sent to into the tower.”
318Please respect copyright.PENANABBl0jqRoDw
318Please respect copyright.PENANAfh0FpmRRu5
Nao: “It’s even more incredible that you can admit your mistakes.”
318Please respect copyright.PENANA0vu6j7wDks
318Please respect copyright.PENANATj0qe2Ok20
I wish you do that more often.
318Please respect copyright.PENANA31PewP79YC

Alyson: “Thanks.”
318Please respect copyright.PENANA144fsFXHy6

It might be dark but I can see Alyson’s blush as if it were glowing. She really is falling for me….Alphon. Despite that fact,
318Please respect copyright.PENANA7ht960uNSm
318Please respect copyright.PENANARoNzu2Zup1
I move her head towards mine and watch as she closes her eyes in acceptance. I try to tell myself that she only likes Alphon for his looks and nothing else but I can’t stop myself. I bring my lips closer to hers and-

“Excuse me.”
