SHE'S ON FIRE

an El Tigre fanfic

Manny was watching his best friend (now girlfriend) walking down the stairs of her father's house from her room. He asked her out the day after she had kissed him for the first time, (an awkward moment but no doubt the best one of his life) and now it was a week later that they were going on their first date. Manny had been sitting on the living room couch being interrogated by Frida's father very thouroughly on when they would be back, what they were going to do, and made it VERY clear that if Manny did ANYTHING with Frida that her father wouldn't approve of, he'd be in incredible pain. But now Manny didn't care about all that, he was caught up in the moment watching his bueatiful angel drift downstairs. She was wearing a regular white sleeveless shirt with a new red miniskirt and suspenders that made Manny turn red in the face.

Frida: "hey Manny!"

Manny was so encaptured by her beauty that he almost ran over, picked her up and ran off with her in his arms into a night of ectacy, but he could feel her dad breathing down his neck right behind him, and he settled for a "hey".
But the "hey" didn't come out. What came out instead was an embarasing "hEEy!"

Manny's voice had cracked, which had been happening recently, and Frida gave a chuckle.

"haha awww my little boy's turning into a man!" Frida said teasingly while poking him in the shoulder.

"come on let's go. What you wanna do on our... first date?" Frida said with an exited smile. No matter how tom-boy Frida acted, deep down (waaaaaay deep down) she really did like dresses and makeup and mushy gushy love stuff.

To get the hell away from your dad is what I wanna do right now! was what Manny was thinking but instead he said "uh... i dunno, hey! Let's go see that new movie that came out called like... VOILENCE FROM THE EARTH'S CORE!! or something like that!" Manny and Frida always liked movies about violence and wierd creatures.

"Dude, you read my freaking mind! Let's go! Bye dad!" Frida said while grabbing Manny's arm and running out the door. Frida's dad stood in the doorway yelling "bye princess!! AND RIVERA! BRING HER BACK AT 10:00 SHARP!"

Manny rolled his eyes and they slowed down a bit. Manny was getting hot in his black jacket, and wondered why he always wears a jacket in a city where the average temperature is 110 degrees. They were about in the middle of the city, near the movie theater, and were tlaking about usual stuff, how dorky some kids are at school, new pranks to pull on Vice Principle Chakal, the usuall stuff, exept there was a new feeling in the air, one that united them both together so that they were set apart from the polluted, industrialized nastiness of the city and into a bubble of the purest love imaginable. They had both risked their own lives to save each other many times, and each one knew without a doubt they would die for the sake of eachother.

For the last five minutes of the walk, they didn't even talk, but just stare into eachother's eyes in more than just a temporary, teenage hormone-induced infatuation with the opposite sex, but an intimate knowledge of each other. Manny and Frida knew each other almost better than they knew themselves. They had spent so many times together, day in and day out, contantly risking eachother's lives for the other, that it was as if they had become one. In the distance, they heard an alarm go off. Frida smile at Manny, a smile that said "go for it" but they were both dissapointed about the interuption of their first date. Manny gave Frida a nervous smile and a shrug as if he was saying "what can ya do?" but he just spun his belt buckle and turned into the incredible and strong El Tigre. When Frida heard the roar of El Tigre's battle cry it always sent a shiver down her spine. They both ran off towards the sound of the whining alarm.
