All four of us competed for the World Tournament Last Chance Qualifier, but we were eliminated before any of us made it to the Top 8.

We left Friday Morning, only to return the same evening.

All day Saturday, we hung out, not as Pokemon players, but as friends since we are no longer bound by the tournament.
We decided to just explore Los Angeles and check out a bunch of places.
We returned to the Macias House only to kill each other in SSBB and KOF 2006. Those were fun times as all good things come to an end.

I left BKK and Danny at their place as I drove me and Franko to Fullerton to drop him off and me driving home to rest.

Even though we lost the tournament, being able to hang out and enjoy our time together as friends was victory enough for all of us.

BTW, any of you address me by my legal name, I'll remove you from my contacts.
You've been warned!
