All of us are standing, gathered around the table in the dining room, except for Ivy, who is sitting in a chair.
Ryan and I are holding hands, but no one has noticed, not even Axel.
"Ryan, since all you care about is saving Liv, you'll be in charge of sneaking into his lair and saving her." Axel tells.
"Isn't that dangerous?" I ask.
Only now does Axel see that Ryan and I are holding hands.
Ryan let's go of my hand and instead turns to face me, placing his hands on my arms and he looks me in the eyes and smiles.
"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." He insists.
"You promise?" I ask.
"I promise." He says.
"Excuse me." Axel says.
Ryan turns back around to face everyone else and grabs my hand again. I squeeze it tightly, I never want to lose him.
"Spencer, Pearl and I will be fighting Exlatron so it'll be easy for Ryan to sneak in." Axel adds.
"But Axel had workers, like Damien." I say, trying to be sensitive when saying Damien's name around Ivy.
"He'll be fine." Axel shrugs.
"Shouldn't Ryan fight with us? I mean there is only three of us and we're trying to kill Exlatron. It'll be easier with Ryan's help and after that we'll all go in and save Liv together." Spencer asks.
"No, I need to see Liv as soon as possible to make sure she's alright. Besides, if I save her and you guys haven't killed Exlatron yet, both Liv and I can help." Ryan explains.
"And we plan on leaving Ivy here? By herself?" I ask.
"She'll be fine, but we need to go, now!" Axel orders.
-------------------
"Wait Ryan!" I call.
"Yeah?" He turns around to face me, even though we're all in a rush.
"I know we were going to keep our distance from each other, but..." I start, feeling a but guilty for delaying him from saving Liv but I need to talk to him.
Ryan just smiles and runs to me, grabs me and smacks his lips against mine, not aggressively or violently though. We kiss for a solid 10 seconds, actually maybe a bit more before I see him smile brightly and he runs away.
"Oh wow." Spencer smiles from behind me.
I can't help but to giggle when I see Spencer.
"Let's go." Axel orders.
-----------------
Axel is walking in front of Spencer and I. Ryan's already gone- somewhere.
"This is my first time fighting." Spencer sighs, "I'm actually really nervous."
"Me too." I gulp, "I've trained, but I've never actually had to fight someone."
"Tell me the truth, do you think ALL of us will survive?" He asks.
I shake my head, "I don't know. I mean, I know Axel and Ryan have more training before we came, and we haven't had much so...I have hope but at the same time I just don't know if we'll all make it."
"I don't know either." Axel stops.
"So...we could die." I stop too.
Spencer says nothing.
"Guys." Axel turns around, "Pearl."
Spencer and I don't say anything, I have tears in my eyes.
"I don't know what we are about to get ourselves into..but it's not good and what happens next will risk everything." Axel says, upset.
"Pearl." He says, hugging me.
"I love you so much. You're my best friend." I whisper.
"I love you too, and I really don't want to lose you." he let's go.
"I don't want to lose you, Axel, or you, Spencer." I say, tears slowly escaping my eyes.
