DJ saw the finish line. She was neck and neck with Chris, and the
race would end in three seconds. She had to do something so there was
a clear winner.
DJ lifted a foot and set it down in front of the other one. She
tripped over it immediately, her palms once again skidding on the
pavement. She looked up and saw Chris cross the line with ease.
D'Arcy-Jada smiled and stood up. She started forward and glided to
the finish.
The two clapped their hands and they exited the game. They began to
take off the equipment.
"I saw what you did," Chris finally spoke. "You tripped on purpose."
DJ nodded. "Of course. It's my way of saying 'Thank you.' Besides,
you would have won in points anyway."
Chris thought this over. "Yeah, you're probably right."
DJ grinned. "Unless you think it's too early, how bout we go down to
Parrot's and get a drink?"
Zodar looked a little worried. "I dunno. I don't know if I can carry
you on my own."
"All right, we'll wait till tonight when there will be someone else
around to drag me back to my room," DJ agreed. "Meet me at 8, okay?"
Chris nodded. "It's a date."
