Summary
“Hey, Ice, want to play a game?”
Ice groans when he hears Maverick in his ear, trying to block it out. “Go away, Mav.” He focuses on the dart in his hand, taking the shot and smirking and lining up for the next shot. “I’m already playing a game, and winning.”
“Yeah, yeah, I know. Always winning, whatever. I mean, if you’re chicken.”
Slider looks over with a smirk. “Come on, Ice, let’s put him in his place. Someone’s gotta.”
Ice looks between them thoughtfully, considering their options before raising his chin with a smirk, chewing his gum. “Alright, Mav. Let’s hear it. What did you have in mind?”
“A little… contest, if you will. We can finally settle who the better pilot is, down here and up there.”
