"Are you sure you wanna do this?" Phoenix spoke into her AirPods. "I'll give you one chance to admit I'm the best and I might consider letting you play with your lightsaber one last time before I take it."

"Not a chance." Tom responded back.

Currently, Phoenix was sitting in a silver steel chair outside of the bank of cast trailers while Tom sat inside Anthony Mackie's trailer, both with their respective Nintendo Switches in hand. They had spent the past 7 minutes talking on the phone about what they wanted to bet the fate of the game on and finally decided on lightsabers. If Phoenix won, she would take Tom's $500 blue lightsaber and if Tom won, he would take the red one she spent $200 on at comic con years prior.

Tom was sure he would win this time thanks in part to the fact that they weren't playing in the same room; which meant that Phoenix couldn't rely on her wittiness to distract him so much that he lost the game, per usual.

"Forget Darth Phoenix, you're gonna be calling me Jedi Master Holland after I take your lightsaber from you." Tom stated confidently. She could hear the smile in his voice.

"Jedi Master Holland?" Phoenix repeated. "That is just about the ugliest thing I've ever heard in my life. Not happening."

"You can only refer to me as Jedi Master Holland for an entire week when I win!" He added. "It's now a part of the bet."

"You know what, I'll take that. I'm confident that I will win."

"What a coincidence. I am ALSO confident that I, too, will win."

Phoenix shrugged. "May the best person win."

She looked up from her Nintendo Switch for the first time in minutes to find Chris Evans approaching. She didn't realize she was seated in front of his trailer until he opened the door.

"Hi!" Chris forced a smile.

He tried not to let his conversation with Mackie last night affect the way he treated Phoenix today. It was a little disheartening to hear that they girl he had been interested in was possibly dating someone else already but he didn't have the heart to ask her about it yet.

"What are you doing sitting out here all alone?" Chris wondered.

"Oh nothing... I'm just about to beat Tom's ass in Mario Kart and take his lightsaber." Phoenix said as she lifted her Switch.

"Oh that's fun." He said, trying to force some enthusiasm. "Well, you are welcome to play in here if you'd like. It's a little chilly out here."

"Oh that's okay." Phoenix assured. "I like a little breeze."

"Hey is that Evans I hear in the background?" Tom questioned. "Tell him to go away. I don't want there to be any excuses on why you lost besides the fact that you just weren't good enough to beat me."

"Oh whatever." She rolled her eyes. "The game is about to start. Meet me outside Evans' trailer with MY lightsaber afterwards. Byeeee."

She didn't even give Tom the chance to respond before she hung up.

"You sure? Don't want you catching a cold out here."

"I'm sure but thank you for offering." Phoenix said.

"Of course!" Chris responded. "If you get cold, I'll be in here for a little bit. Even if I'm not, you're welcome to come in anyways. There's a little bit of warmth in here."
