"not yet."

Accidentally, Vera's clumsy ass fell over at the end of the steps as the trio finished their race.
"GOAL!" Gon and Killua yelled as the three reached the finish line, more like two cause Vera fell face first into wet grass.
"I won!" Killua yelled putting his hands in the air.
"No! I won!"
Their bickering about who won caught Vera's competitive asses attention. She shot up off the floor as if nothing had happened.
"Nu-uh, you piss-ants lost to me!" She jabbed a finger in her direction with a shit eating grin.
"Yea right." Gon stated nonchalantly.
"You literally fell face first into the grass, you still have some in your hair!" Killua pulled out a piece of grass sticking out of her hair.
She rolled her eyes "whaaaattt? You don't like my fashion style?" She whined "HEY! ROBO MAN!" She called
Satotz looked at the trio with his usual emotionless expression.
"Who crossed the line first?" Gon asked standing up straight.
"If it's not me I don't wanna hear it" Vera crossed her arms looking away.
"I believe, the female crossed first." His emotionless expression never fading.
Vera's smirk widened as she cackled evilly "you side characters, see I won~" she wiggled her eyebrows "and a girl can EAT so your wallets better be prepared"
The two boys groaned as Vera winked at Satotz which he did back making her giggle.
"Hey Satotz-San, is this the second phase?" Gon asked turning towards the robot-like man.
"No, we are only halfway there" he said as Vera noticed the more people reaching the end line.
'HOLY SHIT- I COMPLETELY LEFT POKKLE BEHIND!' She mentally winced at the fact she left the Kirby-like dude behind.
She leaned on the wall as she waited for him to enter.
She decided to catch her breath leaning her hands on her knees and placing her skateboard back in her bag since it was no use in grass.
"Hey Vera you left me behind there!" A voice she knew to be Pokkle called out from across the area. She sat up and began running towards him only to run into a clown like dude.
"Holey Moley I am SOO sorry" she apologized bowing over and over. Honestly she wasn't sorry whatsoever, she was just hella scared of clowns and this biotch was no exception.
He hummed taking in her form and feature. 'A young girl.. she's cute too, and seems to have much potential.. she could be fun to play with' the clown man smirked licking his lips.
The girl paled unable to move looking at the clown. Her soul left her body in a cartoonish way. Kurapika grabbed her shoulders and pulled her away from the creep.
"Watch yourself around him. Be careful Vera" he warned and she blinked.
"AWW YOU CARE ABOUT ME" she cooed trying to hug him but his hand on her head pushed in her way.
He sighed as she began to draw attention to the two of them. He just patted her head and walked away which she took as a 'yes-I-do'
Then she remembered Pokkle and ran over to him "IM SO SORRY" she yelled.
"Am I just an afterthought.. are you cheating on me wife?" He placed the back of his hand over his head in a dramatic matter.
"I don't cook, I don't clean, but let me tell you I got this ring" she waved her ring finger as Pokkle and her laughed together.
"But for real, you forgot about me dude!" He playfully shoved her which she laughed.
"Sorry, sorry, I met some new friends and got caught up in the moment!"
"It's alright I suppose.. anyways let's stic-"
"Vera! Come on we're about to start!" Gon yelled with Killua behind him.
She looked at Pokkle and he had a saddened expression on his face. She frowned.
"I'll uh, I'll catch up with you guys!"she called out to them. Gon tilted his head to the side before yelling back "okay! Be careful!"
Pokkle mentally cheered but on the outside he was nonchalant.
"Hey, Gimmie ur phone" Vera demanded holding out her hand which he so happily gave her his phone.
"What're you doing with it?" He put his hands in his pockets as he watched her type on and on.
"Well, 1, you trust me enough to hand me your phone without knowing what I'm going to do" she smiled as she continued tapping "2, I'm just adding my number in case we get separated again"
"Okay!" He cheered as she gave him back his phone. "Let's go, I think we're about to start."
★𝖧𝖷𝖧★
Running was hard enough but GRASS. Who the fuck wants to run in GRASS.
Especially WET grass.
Like y'all is asking for too much..
None the less Vera was running, and right beside Pokkle. They were following close behind Satotz so they wouldn't get lost from him or each other.
The screams of other contestants and the sound of shoes hitting the wet grass was all that could be heard.
"Hey Vera, I've been meaning to ask you" Pokkle started up a conversation as she looked at him with a confused expression "why do you wear a mask?"
She paused, like- she didn't stop running, she just paused. He blinked wondering if he hit a nerve or not.
"Uhm, just, choice in fashion" She used the excuse she's used plenty of times before "it matches my skirt!" She gave a smile to try and seal the deal of her lies.
Pokkle didn't buy it one bit, but he took it as a way of her saying, she doesn't want to talk about it.
"It totally does!" He said back and she nodded to herself clutching the fabric on her (flat) chest.
They were getting close to the end and Pokkle sped up. Vera however slowed down to a stop and smelled the air.
"Gon?" She muttered looking in the direction behind her.
The mist covered almost everything and it was hard to see but Vera sprinted towards the smell of her friend Gon, who seemed to be immobile.
She went as fast as she could, faster than she ever did, and as quiet as possible.
Once she got to the area the scene she saw was frightening.
The clown man wannabe was choking Gon to his death.
She dug her nails into her palms, a habit she's had since she was a kid, contemplating on what to do.
She decided to suck up her fears and save her new (best) friend.
She charged in without a word towards the clown man. He noticed almost immediately and dropped Gon.
He sent a punch her way but she (accidentally) dodged by crouching then quickly countered and sent a kick to his face. The tips of her shoes colliding with his right cheek. Then she slipped away and stood protectively in front of Gon.
"My, My, what quick speed you have" he cooed stepping closer.
"Yo- dude- haha.. chill." She laughed nervously still protecting Gon.
"Don't worry, you've passed!" He sent a cheeky smile as he crouched and started to pick up the unconscious Leorio Vera only just noticed.
"L-Leorio!" She yelled in attempt to wake him but to no use.
"Don't worry about him, he passed too." He smiled picking up Leorio "I'm guessing you'll find your way back, yes?"
Vera only nodded in return as the clown man walked off fading into the distance.
She looked behind her at Gon who seemed to be unconscious from the lack of air. She picked him up bridal style as she looked around.
"Vera! Gon!" Kurapika called out coming from out of ducking nowhere.
"What happened?" He asked worried more for Gon.
"Hisoka, the clown dude, I'm guessing he attacked Gon and Leorio" Vera said holding Gon close to her. Kurapika tried reaching for Gon but she just moved so he was out of Kurapikas reach.
"I can carry him-"
"No." She stated bluntly turning to walk in the direction of the exam. Kurapika meekly followed behind.
"Hisoka.." she said catching his attention "he said something like 'don't worry, you passed'" she mocked him "what do you think it meant?"
"Maybe.. he was playing examiner. Taking our physical strengths and guessing wether or not we are more likely to pass" Kurapika put a finger to his chin in thought "what else happened?"
"Nothing really. When I showed up he was choking Gon so I dodged the attack he sent my way and kicked him in the face!" She said cheerful "then he took Leorio and left.."
"He took Leorio?" Kurapika said worried
"Don't worry about your little boyfriend, he's probably back at the start for the second phase. He said that Leorio passed as well"
"He's not my-"
"Not yet."
★𝖧𝖷𝖧★
The two reached the exam sight, still with an unconscious gon in Vera's arms.
She spotted Killua and ran over to him "woah, Gons unconscious?" He asked
"No shit Sherlock" she retorted flicking his head. She then looked around and spotted Leorio letting out a sigh of relief she didn't know she had been holding.
"Is this the second phase?" She asked laying Gon down on the floor.
"Yea it is- what-what are you doing?" Killua trailed off asking.
"Waking him up?" She said in a confused tone literally about to slap the living daylights out of him.
"NOT LIKE THAT!" Killua yelled slapping her hand and crouching down to Gon's level.
"Gon." He called "Gon.." he called again no answer. An irk mark appeared on his head. "GON!" He pinched the latter making him shoot his head up colliding with Killua's.
"Ow!" They both yelped.
"Damn! Your head is hard as a rock!" Killua growled rubbing his temple.
Vera on the other hand was laughing her ass off "BWAHAHAH BAKA!" She pointed a finger at Killua and his eye twitched.
"Why you-"
"Vera!" Pokkle waved from the corner.
"Oh~ is that your little b o y f r i e n d?" Kurapika asked coming out of nowhere.
"Touché my dude.. touché" she said not knowing the glares both Killua and Gon sent at the boy.
"I don't like him" they said in unison.
"Come on its Pokkle, he means no harm!" She rolled her eyes standing up. She waved at him so she wouldn't leave him hanging.
"Anywho! Let's start the second phase!" She cracked her knuckles.
