Joy almost said something sassy about everything Miku said being about pride but she bit her tongue.  Aika was right to try to get them to work better together and not bicker all the time.  She had to try to be good.  Not that the Ryujin made it easy.  "Yeah, you've got moves all right, no denying that."  Besides, she was still ahead in the overall count so she could be a little magnanimous.  "We might just end up making a good team yet."<br/><br/>"Perhaps," Miku answered but she was clearly pleased by Joy acknowledging her point.  The blue haired girl looked around the alleyway, fully getting her bearings.  "I know exactly where we are now.  The entrance to that secret base I told you about is near here and I can take you to it."  She put her left hand on her hip and cocked it to one side, "Which is what we're doing, right?"<br/><br/>That was clearly a cue as the action froze except for Aika and Joy as a prompt popped up.<br/><br/><tt class="bbc_tt">Path Choice:<br/>&gt; Complete Stage as Normal?<br/>&gt; Proceed to Secret Base?</tt><br/><br/>The blonde pursed her lips and tilted her head towards Miku, "I say we go with her and find this secret stash or whatever.  Might be stuff that would help us out in the long run.  And no reason to leave it lying in how knows where just gathering dust if we take these jokers out normal style.  It's not like that leader of theirs is just going to up and leave town."  She smiled then, "Plus I don't want to hear Miku bitching that we brought her out here for nothing.  But what do you say?"
