This happens while they're in Two's kitchen, in an AU of TPOT.

Match's POV

I can't look at her the same anymore. Ever since she confessed to me the other day, I can't help but feel bad for rejecting her. For saying that we should just stay best friends, despite the fact that yes, I do like her back. I wasn't thinking straight, and now she probably hates me. Great.

Two calls us for Cake At Stake. One of the EXITors will be leaving us for good, and joining The Power of Two.
"Alright then, today's cake is ice cream cake, topped with Ice Cube!"
"OHMYGOD IT'S ICE CUBE! YIPPEE!" Bracelety yells.
"Help me!"
"Shush, Icy! Cake decorations are not meant to speak. Anyways, if you're joining, then you get this cake! First ones not joining are Firey Jr., Roboty and David. Neither are Dora, 8-Ball or Stapy. Liy isn't either, so we're down to the final three. Pencil, Match and Bracelety."
I cross my fingers to the point where they hurt.
"The next one not joining is... Match." Damn it.

Pencil's POV

I really do hope I can join. Not only so I can win, but also so I can get away from... her.
"Time to show the votes!" After a long drumroll, the vote counts are revealed. "Pencil joins by a ten vote margin! Congratulations!"
I can't believe it. I'm joining TPOT! Now I can see Bubble and Ruby and- (who's gonna tell her 💀)

Match's POV

This is my final chance before she's gone for good. She's about to get sent into the competition. It has to be now. I build up all of my courage and shout, "WAIT!" Two turns around. "What is it?"
"I need to, like, talk to Pencil."
"Really? Fine, but you've got five minutes. I have a show to host."
"Just teleport me already, Two! I don't want to talk to her!"
"Just wait a second, Pencil! I'm sorry for, like, rejecting you, it's just that I was really surprised and I-I do like you back!"

Pencil's POV

At first I think it's pity that she's saying this, but I can sense that she's being serious.
"You do?"
"Yes. Wanna give it a try?"
"O-of course!"
She runs up to me and gives me a peck on the cheek. I was not expecting that.
"You look so cute when you're surprised!" Match giggles. "Now, don't you have a competition to win for the both of us?" I turn pink and slowly nod with a smile. "I do."
