Following Pearl's gesture, Trucy watched her father struggle with the luggage until Maya grabbed one of the suitcases. When he tried to take it back, Maya yanked his hat down over his eyes and laughed.
The girls sighed in unison.
Folding her hands under chin, Pearl whispered, "It's an elegant, adult love, blooming slowly for years!"
Trucy cracked her knuckles. "And I can't wait to hurry it up. Did you get everything?"

But I finally told Lois about how I'd tried to get her and him together once, without showing my hand, and she cracked up. She said, 'That's just like what he'd do! You're a real member of the family, all right.'
"Honestly, I think it's kind of cute."
Rage promptly morphed into confusion. "What."
Bingo. Blake pressed on, "It's very cute. Think about it — it's classic. A seemingly insurmountable rivalry that blossoms into heartfelt romance, forged through the heat of battle."

“So, is she?”
“I think so. Taylor?”
“Oh yes.”
“Should we say anything? I’ve been considering it for awhile now, but I’m not sure how they’d react.”
“Hmm, probably not well. Taylor likes to feel in control. If she thinks we're trying to manipulate her, she’ll retreat. Let them be for now. We can always lock them in a room together later.”
“That’s what I thought. We can still tease them, right?”
“Of course.”

Shinji: "Maybe she actually likes him."
Asuka: "Ha! As if! Now, Shizuka, that is a nice, polite girl. She would be much better for him!"

Gwen gets flustered, feeling her cheeks heat slightly. She exaggerates a scoff, "What's that supposed to mean?" Her eyes widen,
"Wait, no d-"
"I bet you know which room is his too, don't you?" Peter asks, wiggling his eyebrows.
Gwen turns from him so he can't see that her face is the color of a tomato.
Peter and Mayday both giggle uncontrollably.
"UGH, even the baby is against me."

"Raisa!" Inna called from outside the dugout. "We're up! Let's go!"
"Just a minute!" She scribbled a last few lines.
P.S. My wingman, Inna, will be very upset if I am killed. She’ll think it's her fault, that she didn't cover me. (It won't be true because she’s a very good pilot and wingman.) I think you should make an effort to comfort her at the very first opportunity. She's a redhead. You’ll like her. Really like her, I mean. I keep a picture of you in our dugout and she thinks you’re handsome. She'll weep on your shoulder and it will be very romantic, trust me.
