The rays of the morning sun shone blessed on her face . She felt the heat. She breathed deeply in and out, before she stood up and hit the blanket away from her. She smelled something delicious. She got out of bed and went to the living room. "Good morning, Mentor Ji greeted Emily. Emily nodded back. She looked at the delicious food for her. "Begin already, the others are coming as wel." Emily went straight down. "This would be a feast, even if it was only for breakfast. Not much later, the others came inside. They saw the good food and attacked immediately.
Emily went out after breakfast. A feeling of dizziness hit her. She sought support on the bench and sat down. She paused. Where did that dizziness come from ? She felt a hand on her shoulder. "Everything okay?" She saw Jayden and Mike.
"Yes, alone .." She rubbed her head. "Only a little dizzy." She closed her eyes when she said that. Jayden knelt before her, as Mike took his place beside her on the bench. Mike put his hand on her back. He felt a shiver down her spine. Jayden had seen it.
"Mike, you're escorted Emily back to her room, please" Mike nodded.
"I'm okay, just .." Emily got a bad headache. "Okay, maybe just lying for a moment." Mike helped her up and guided her back to her room. There Emily stranded on her bed. The cool sheets felt good. She struggled herself underneath. She felt herself falling asleep. She heard Mike shut the door and than she fell in total darkness.
The alarm went off and woke Emily up. She moaned and jumped out of bed. "Why now?" she moaned. She stumbled from the room half staggering. She saw her friends looked at the map on the table where the attack took place.
"Emily?" she heard one say before she saw the ground coming closer. She felt someone caught her. "Emily!" She saw four worried faces. Mentor Ji, care for her, we gotta go. " He nodded.
"No, I'm okay. I go too. " Emily pushed herself upright. If Mike did not hold her, she would fall back guaranteed. Niether Mike or Jayden tolerate contradiction. "I'll be right behind you," Mike said. The other ran away .
Mike took Emily to her room as quickly as possible. He forced her on her bed. "Stay here!" he commanded. Emily wanted to get up again, but her body was against her. She fell back into a dreamless sleep.
The first thing Emily noticed when she woke up, was something cold against her face. She just did not know where she was or what had happened. She felt tired and hot. Her muscles hurt so much. With difficulty she got her eyes slightly open. "Emily, Emily's awake!" she heard calling. Emily got her eyes open more, as she looked around. Mike helped her sit right, because she gave rise. She let her head resting back on the pillow.
The light that came in, was no longer nice and warm, but hurt her eyes. Mike saw it and closed the curtain. The others were now in the room and looked at Emily with relieved faces. "Hi," Emily greeted softly. Mia sat on the bed edge down, just as Mike had already done. Emily saw the washcloth. Mike held it in his hands. "What's going on?" she asked.
"You have the flu," explained Jayden.
"Explains why I'm so hot." She shivered. "And now cold," she said then.
"How long do you feel like that?" Mentor Ji asked.
"I do not know, since I came out this morning, I felt dizzy." Emily closed her eyes briefly. She rubbed her head again. The terrible headache was not gone yet. It surprised her that she still could think clearly.
"What's that?" Emily asked suddenly. Mia had something in her hands.
"Thermometer" she replied. Emily groaned. "No," she protested. "I might have the flu, but I don't want that thing in my mouth!" "It's this way or the hard, what do you choose?" Before anyone could react, Emily jumped out of bed.
She knew the hard way too well. Mike was obviously right behind her. Emily ran into the woods, but did not get far. She got dizzy again and she stumbled. She groaned, but could not get up. She crawled on her knees to the nearest tree and looked for a foothold. She pulled herself up. She heard someone running. She let go of the tree, looking for her balance, but still fell forward. She was caught in strong arms. Mike had overtaken her. He took her in bridal style back to the Shiba house. Half conscious she felt Mike put her back on bed. He put the blanket over her. "Can I have a moment alone with her?" he asked. They left the room. Mia gave quickly the thermometer to him. Emily looked at him with an exhausted face. She wanted to say something, but her voice did not worked.
Mike leaned over to her to understand. "Tired, cold," she said very softly. Mike put his hand on her forehead. "You burn up. Emily, I have to take your temperature, OK. " She nodded slowly. She opened her mouth. Two minutes later it squeaked. "Thirty-nine point five degrees."
"Mike" whispered Emily. "I'm hot. Mike looked delivers. "I'll be right back." He quickly left the room. The others were waiting for him. "Mia" he said.
"You have to help Emily in something comfortable to put on. Something she's not too hot in it. " "What will you do?" she asked.
"I'm going to share her my body heat," he replied. Mike was not much later back with a naked torso in Emily's room.
Mia understood his intent. "I just go," she said. "Where will you sleep tonight?" Mike asked curiously.
"You're here, so in Kevin's room is a bed free." Mike could not resist pulling a grin . He crawled under the sheet where Emily was already under. He pulled her toward him.
"What are you going to do?" Emily asked. Not that she minded. She took this position all too nice.
"Body Heat. The Flu shows temperature changes. I must now make sure that you no longer get cold. " But halfway through his explanation Emily was already asleep.
Mike was awakened by the movement between his arms. He opened his eyes. Emily tried to get out of bed with all the trouble. "What are you going?" asked Mike. He pulled her back to him. "I do not know," replied Emily tired. "I was hungry, but no more and than again and now not anymore." Mike pulled some hair from her face. "You're going to feel better again soon, I promise." Emily snuggled closer to him.
When Emily woke up she was bathed in sweat. Mike was no longer beside her. She felt exhausted. She struggled to sit up a little. She was cold. The three layers of blankets on her, did not help. She wanted to grab a blanket. With great difficulty she managed to sit upright. She stood straight and tried to keep himself upright. She stumbled to the closet in the hallway. "Emily?" Mia was standing there with a bowl of chicken soup. "Mia" Emily wispered. Mia put the bowl down on the table flowers in the hallway. Emily pulled a blanket from the closet. Mia took the blanket right out of her hands and escorted Emily immediately to her room. Mia took another pair of pajamas for the yellow ranger. She helped her change of clothes. Then she laid a hand on her head. "We have really let your fever down, Em," she said firmly.
She placed fourth blanket on Emily. Emily shuddered. "I'm going to take your temperature, Em." Emily groaned, but struggled not against it. "Forty point zero." Mia spurt out of the room. You could heard her several times calling "Mike'. Less than two minutes later Mentor, Mia and Mike back into the room. "Em," Mike said sweetly. "We're going to have you to take a cold bath." Emily had no strength against twisting. Mike picked her up, to the bathroom. Mia took it from there.
After one hour in the cold water Emilywas again in her own bed sleeping.
Emily moaned softly, as she felt herself wake up. She felt a little better but not good enough. She opened her eyes. Her head was not on her pillow, no, but at Mikes chest. She smiled at her. His eyes were closed. He breathed up and down. Emily raised her head and looked further into the room. She saw Mia very peaceful sleeping. With her back to them. It was not too dark in the room, so Emily could see everything standing. A chair stood beside the bed in the chair sat Jayden. He was awake. She turned so she could look at him, yet could lie against Mike. Jayden gave her before saying anything a glass of water. Emily took a sip. "How long are you sitting here?" she asked.
"Half an hour since I got up," Jayden replied. "All better?"
"A bit, still feel weak and tired." Jayden leaned forward and took the blanket to her that it was waist.
"Get some sleep," he said. He pulled it further on her. Emily again took the same position as when she woke up. She quickly fell asleep against Mike.
Something moved. Something soft. Emily yawned. She saw Mike put her down, back onto the bed. "Mike?" she asked sleepily. "Waaaaht are you doing?" she asked yawning.
"Shh, go back to sleep, Em." Emily dropped her head on the pillow. " The next half hour, she was awake and not, she was awake and not. It irritated her. There was a strange sound from her stomach. She put her hand on her belly. Mia was still sleeping. "
Pst, Mia, "she said. "Mia."
"Mm, go to sleep, Em. It's still early. " The pink ranger turned back. Emily took her pillow and threw it to her. Mia sighed irritated.
"Okay, what's wrong?" She was not too well disposed to sit up. "I'm hungry, but I do not feel so good to stand." Emily pulled her most cute eyes begging to convince Mia. "I'm already going, what do you want?" she asked. Mia got out of bed.
"I do not really know."
"Toast with jam, coming" decided Mia in her place. Emily laughed when Mia quickly ran from the room.
Emily tried to sit as comfortable as possible in order to eat. Mia came back. The toast was fortunately not burnt. Emily took a bite of. "Thank you, Mia," she said. "No problem." Mia dropped back onto her bed. "Good night," she said. Emily could not contain her laughter when Mike came in and said, "Mia, why are you not up yet, we must train." The Pink Ranger growled. She gave Emily a dirty look. Mike knew not what was so funny.
Mia left the room with a bad mood. Mike sat next to Emily. "What's wrong with her?" he asked.
"Nothing interesting," Emily Gibberd. Mike looked at her. "Sure, you'll find it very amusing, however. Emily could not contain her laughter. Mike put his hand to her forehead. "Your fever has decreased," he said. Emily nodded as she ate.
"Another day in bed and you're as good as new 'see it.
"Yes, but do not blame me later if you have the flu."
"I do not get flu, I am immune to it" Mije show off. Emily grinned.
"Yeah, but wait, you'll see," she said. "Oh, do you believe me?"
"No, what you gonna to do?" Emily challenged him. "Oh, everything in my power."
He took the plate away. "Hey." protested Emily, who was not ready. Mike did not listen to her protests and put his hands on her hips. He began to tickle her uncontrollably.
"Mike, stop it, sss .. tttoop" pleaded Emily. "Not until you apologize.'
"But, yooouuu ssssaid II havvve toooo sssstop dooooing thaaaat."Emily squealed out. Mike stopped.
"That's true," he said, before he tickled further.
"Mike, if .. ppplllease, ssstop, I pullll no longerrrr iiiit." Mike stopped. Emily looked all red.
"You're mean," she gasped. It looked like she'd been a marathon 25km run. Mike's face hung just a few millimeters from that of Emily. No one knew who made the first move, but covered their mouths together in a passionate kiss. Could continue to hit, there was knock on the door.
Mike and Emily soon asunder from each other. Mike gave her the plate back. Jayden entered. "Mike, Mentor Ji asking for you."
"I'll be." Jayden closed the door again. Emily looked at her fingers. Mike took her hands. "I have no regrets," he said. He gave her a quick kiss on her sweet lips and left the room.
