The moment continued for Alexis and Yuki. They had made up their minds that they were as ready as they would ever be to challenge their first gym. Even after all that had happened...No. They had to move on. Alexis had a destiny to fulfill. A battle to win. She would become the star that she had dreamt of being, and absolutely NOTHING was going to get in the way of that. The moment was now, and all they needed to do was step through that door. Of course, as soon as she took a step towards it, she heard someone familiar call out to her.
"Alexis?"The blonde girl turned to the voice, and sure enough, Sophia had revealed herself. Apparently, she had grown so dependent on others that she travels with them. Because there was absolutely, positively NO POSSIBLE WAY for her to have gained any following of fans at this point in time. Nope. None at all. Besides, there was only one person that Alexis immediately recognized. Rheese. The others were not quite faces she remembered all that well. If she had even met them before, they must have been insignificant or something.
In any case...Alexis smiled at them, though it was clear that she was focused on Sophia.
"
Well, well, well. If it isn't the poser. What took you so long?"
Alexis' voice was smug and arrogant. She had returned to her normal self at long last. It was an attempt to push aside the events of yesterday, but she had deemed it a subject that was necessary to forget. After all, if she had focused on it all the time, then she wouldn't be able to focus on fulfilling her destiny.
"
I had enough time to leave the hospital, freshen up, and make it here before you. I guess you're not as serious about this as I thought."
