(A week goes by from the night Lynnon agreed to paint each team member's boards. She wakes up to the reminder that today was her first day of college! She had finished all skateboards and was excited to start doing some actual art on a canvas. She leaves the house in a white jeep that Akane lent her. Once she parks she rides the rest of the way on her skateboard. She was without a doubt the most colorful person at the college. She caught some attention as she rode towards the entrance. Not even more than 5 meters away from the entrance, Lynnon suddenly gets slammed in the face and flung backward and off her board from someone opening a door in her path. Walking out from behind the door was Ezekiel. He looks down at her and holds in a laugh, knowing who she was. Lynnon became confused because she didn't recognize him and he was just laughing at her. She gets up a bit mad and picks up her board)
Lynnon-" Thanks for the help jackass"
(Ezekiel became stunned as Lynnon continued to walk past him. He then turns around and talks back to her)
Ezekiel-" You don't know who I am?"
(Lynnon pretends not to hear and continues to walk, thinking he was trying to brag that he was popular or something)
Ezekiel-" Hm... Would've thought Mei said at least something"
(Ezekiel shrugs before going back inside the building. Lynnon heads to class and is met by a bunch of other people who had crazy unique styles like her. She felt at home in the art room. On the first day, she gets projects for her contemporary art class. During her lunch, she goes out and meets with Akira and Mei for food)
Akira-" Lynnon~ When are you going to get that head of yours out of your sketchbook?"
Lynnon-" I have a few projects for a class. I have to finish them in a few weeks so I'm coming up with ideas"
Mei-" Well can't you just do it at home? Eat your food and talk to us"
(Lynnon sighs and starts to close her sketchbook and put it down on the table)
Lynnon-" Right sorry. I just don't wanna fail?"
Akira-" Now's the time to live your life! Whenever you turn 20, I'm taking you out to get some drinks"
(Akine puts her hand on Mei's shoulder)
Akine-" And you can get orange juice"
(Mei's face immediately went bland, triggering Akine and Lynnon to laugh)
Lynnon-" You gotta be 21 in the US"
Akine-" Welp. I guess we took off a year cause alcohol is just that good"
(The girls have a small laugh)
Mei-" SO! You guys ready for our tournament in a few days"
Lynnon-" Absolutely!"
Mei-" We're gonna win cause' of you. No doubt about it!"
(Later, around 8, Lynnon begins to paint some anime and Harajuku-inspired paintings. At the same time, in his apartment, Ezekiel looks through the pictures for DNE that he had so far. He knew something was missing but he couldn't put his finger on it. A few days go by. Lynnon had finished over half her paintings so far because she has been working nonstop, and Ezekiel has continued to look for the missing piece of the puzzle. Lynnon arrives at the tournament, all set up with her neon pink skate pads and newly painted board. She walks up to her team)
Lynnon-" You guys enjoying the new look"
Oda-" Love it!"
(Oda fist bumps Lynnon)
Kaito-" You're amazing! Thanks"
(Both teams are introduced. While their team was colorful and bright, the rival team had a color scheme. They all wore black and gold. Lynnon listened as her team members whispered about them to her)
Riku-" We've always been around a point away from beating these guys. Now they think they're so much better than us"
Kaito-" Though they kinda scare me, especially Fumiko"
Lynnon-" Who's that"
Akira-" The girl in the middle with the long black hair. She's their captain and probably the best rider on the team"
(Lynnon looked over at the rivals and noticed Fumiko looking straight at her, smirking a devilish smile)
Lynnon-" You think she's better than me?"
Oda-" I don't know. Maybe you guys are equal? We'll see how well you pull off our harder routine"
(The tournament begins, having both teams take turns back and forth doing certain tricks all in a row. Fumiko goes second to last, before Lynnon, getting nearly a perfect score)
Announcer-" Woah! A 9.7 from the judges. Fumiko's score is going to be hard to beat! Up next is a newbie. Safe to say now that Fumiko's team is going to win but let's give this girl a shot!"
(Lynnon gets to the ramp and talks under her breath)
Lynnon-" Stupid announcer. You don't know who you're dealing with"
(Lynnon starts, doing every trick flawlessly which surprises almost everyone watching. She could vaguely hear the rival team talking back and forth with angry Fumiko. Lynnon finishes off, grabs her board and looks at the judges, while her team began to walk up behind her. It like life went in slow motion once they held up the point card)
Announcer-" A perfect score!"
(Lynnon and her team jump up and down as they begin to group hug)
Announcer-" Mei's team wins!!!"
