Misty knows that now. Now that it's far too late, it's all she knows.
They fight as well as ever. They've always moved perfectly, each anticipating the other's moves like they were her own.
It's when the fight ends.
When they win (because they always win), Misty learns all over again what she lost. She can flip Colleen over her back to take out a ninja, but Colleen won't high-five her afterward. Won't smile, won't meet her eyes.
Colleen guns her bike and peels off.
Misty still has a partner, but that's all she's got.
