"Huh, so we're all in the same waiting room? I assumed we'd be kept separate, like how it was during the HCC," Remarked Aria, as we were shown into the waiting room, the other X-Aces already there.
"Yeah, me too. Maybe it's because this is a more casual, friendly exhibition event, rather than a proper competition?" I suggested, as we walked into the room.
"Hey, guys! You as excited for this as I am? Man, I can hardly wait, just another fifteen minutes to go before it begins," Grinned Jaden, approaching us with an impatient glimmer in his eyes.
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to this. I'll beat you again, by myself this time," I replied with a smile.
"Same here, I'm not really counting yesterday as a win since it was two on one, so I'll make sure to win today," Declared Aria, a determined look on her face.
"Nice, that's the spirit! I have no intention of losing, so give me your best shot!"
