*You*

"I'm sorry, what?" Z asked, looking at me like I had four heads.

"Just a first name or her initials. It's not like I'm going to murder her tonight or anything. I'm simply curious." I stated plainly.

"Yeah Z. Tell us your girlfriends' name." Aech teased, wiggling his brows.

"Girlfriend?" Art3mis asked, intrigued maybe?

"She's... She's not my girlfriend yet." Z mumbled, his avatar's face turning from crystal blue to a crayon red.

"I didn't know your face could turn the colors of the rainbow, Parzival." I pointed out, teasing the poor boy.

"Shut, Shut up." He stuttered, turning the other way.

I covered my mouth to hide my smile. Parzival had turned around to play with some trinkets that were sitting on the countertop.

"You can't just change the topic now, Parzival. I'm curious now." Art3mis teased, leaning closer.

I sighed, watching Parzival fidget nervously. I didn't understand why but I knew he was uncomfortable.

"Hey Z? Didn't you say something earlier? Um, what was it, Aech?" I quizzed, changing the topic.

"Wasn't it about the haircut? When did you even have time to buy that Something about Mary Hairdo?"

Z turned back to us, sighing, "Yeah, yeah well you were all being slow to the races and I decided I had some time to buy a new style."

I chuckled, "Weren't you the one who was late?"

He scratched the nape of his neck, grinning innocently.

I rolled my eyes playfully and walked over to my corner once again. I picked up a coin and sat on the chair, leaning back to put my feet up.

"So we need to construct a plan, better than anything else, to get that key." Z said, acting like his life was on the line. 

I flipped my coin, earning a glare or two from Art3mis. I raised my eyebrow as if to ask 'What's your problem?" She immediately turned to Parzival and placed a hand on his shoulder, causing him to start rambling about whatever he was saying beforehand.

I flicked my coin at his forehead.

"Hey! What the heck (g.t)!?" Z yelled, watching the coin roll away from him.

"Get your head back in the game Parzival," I stated, grinning at him as he made a pouty face.

"Anyways, before I was so RUDELY Interrupted," He paused to glare at me, "We need a plan."
