Chapter 1: Conversations With Emma
Morning. Jesse & Emma.
Jesse sat in front of the computer and keyed in the details Adam had told him to search for. The search was taking a while and Jesse began to get bored, until Emma came up to him.
"Hey, Jesse. What are you doing?" she asked, sitting down next to him.
"I'm searching for this lost guy. He's a new mutant and Adam thinks he might be in danger from the GSA."
"Why?"
"I don't know," Jesse admitted. "Adam went back into the lab before I could ask him properly. Oh, Emma, there's something I've been wanting to ask you."
"What is it?" Emma said.
"Well, I've been thinking that Shalimar needs someone. You know, a boyfriend."
"So, do you like know someone you want to set her up with and want me to talk it over with her?" Emma wondered.
"Sort of. You know him too."
"Who?" Emma asked, intrigued.
"Brennan," Jesse said.
Emma's eyes flew open, but managed to regain herself before Jesse noticed anythin was wrong. "Uh..."
"What do you think?" Jesse asked oblivious to Emma's true feelings for Brennan.
Of course he was oblivious, Emma hadn't let anyone find out. She hadn't even told Shalimar, whom she had become closest to out of all the Mutant X members. Plus, she and Jesse hadn't really become that close. After Shalimar, she was then close to Brennan, - seeing as how they were both 'new' members of Mutant X at the same time - then Adam and finally, Jesse. "Well...do you really think that they should...youknow, get together."
"Well, Brennan likes her. He told me."
"Oh," Emma said getting crushed further by the second, but refusing to let her feelings shown.
"I was just wondering whether Shalimar liked him. Did she tell you anything?"
Emma just shook her head.
"I just wanted to ask you to help me get them together."
"Oh...right."
"Well?"
"Uh...Jesse, I - I have to go..." Emma blurted, before stumbling out of the room.
Jesse was a little worried, but just assumed she was feeling sick.
Afternoon. Brennan & Emma.
"Hey Emma!" Brennan said as he saw her appearing out from her room.
"Oh...hi." Emma said. This was the first time she came out of her room since the morning and he definately wasn't the person she'd wanted to see straight away.
"We missed you at lunch. Jesse said you were sick. Are you feeling better?"
"Um...not really, to tell the truth. My stomach still hurts."
"Oh. Why don't you rest, because tomorrow I think Adam wants us to search for this new mutant. We'll need you."
"Yeah." Emma whispered.
"Okay," Brennan smiled. "See you later," he said and placed his hand on her shoulder gently before walking away.
Emma stood still until she could no longer see him at all. Which meant she saw him meeting Shalimar and them walking together into the kitchen. Brennan likes Shalimar...the words kept playing over in her head acting like some kind of dynamite making her head explode. Emma couldn't find the strength in her legs to move back inside her room until she heard Adam coming near. And this time, she only managed to move because she didn't want anyone to see her cry.
Nighttime. Shalimar & Emma.
"Come in," Shalimar said in reply to the knock on her door.
Emma walked inside and closed the door afterwards.
"Oh hi, Emma."
"Hey," Emma whispered.
"How are you?"
"Um...okay," Emma lied.
"Did you want something?"
"Uh...yeah," Emma admitted and took a deep breath before she let out her question, "Do you like Brennan?"
"Oh." Shalimar said. She stayed quiet for a while before nodding and dashing Emma's last hope with, "Yeah. I do. How did you know?" she added. Emma didn't say anything at first, prompting Shalimar to realise and ask, "Did you read my mind?"
"No. I just wondered..."
"Sorry, I was gonna tell you. I guess you must have realised already, though."
'Uh...yeah."
"I just don't know of he does. Hey, could you like read his mind or something?" Shalimar asked, brightening.
"Well..." Emma breathed, "I don't think that'll be necessary."
"Why not?"
"Oh, um, I think he does."
"How do you know?"
"Uh...Jesse told me."
"He did?!" Shalimar exclaimed. "Oh...wow."
"Yeah."
"This is so...I don't even know what to say!"
"Well, um, I'll see you tomorrow, then, Shalimar."
"Oh, you're gonna go to bed, then?"
"Yeah. What about you?"
'Well, it's kinda late, so I probably should, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna fall asleep. Hey, is there anything else you wanna talk about?"
"Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay. G'night Emma."
"G'night."
