Aerin remained seated on her side of the arena, listening to the cheers, the excited squeals, the families and friends who filed in to their seats to get ready for the clash they would be about to watch. Round three, Aerin against her best friend Nikky, in t-minus five minutes. Aerin clutched Sapphire's ball in her hand, her eyes closed as she inhaled the comforting scent of Shane through the pilfered hat she had dropped over her eyes a bit.
