Mike's POV

"Mike, Mike, FUGANAGA."

"What!" I said.

"What are we going to do? Holo Gramps is still not fixed. Plus we are running out of chicken fingers to feed Kid Q." Owen said to me as he started making another batch of chicken fingers.

"I don't know. At least the Ishina don't have the floating sword. We just have to keep on fighting and never give up." I really didn't know what to do or say. I felt lost without my Grandpa. If it weren't for my friend I would have given up right then and there.

As we continue to make chicken fingers Amanda walked in. Ever since I saw her with that Flint guy I've been keeping my distance but... I don't know, every time I'm around her I feel so happy like everything is going to be fine. I see she has something in her hand, I don't know what it is but it looks like a necklace.

Amanda's POV

As I'm walking from the Dojo to the kitchen I start playing with the necklace that Flint gave me. Ever since Mike saw me talking to him he has been really distant. The only problem is I don't like Flint but every since the dojo was destroyed I have had this felling like we needed help and I think he will give it to us. I know that Mike and Owen will be against him helping us but it never hurts to have a plan B.

As I walk into the kitchen I see Mike and Owen make yet another batch of chicken fingers.

"Well might as well bring these to Kid Q." Owen say then leaves the room. I look over at Mike. I can tell he is trying not to make eye contact, witch to be honest is really starting to get on my nerves.

Mike's POV

After Owen leaves I realize how strange being around Amanda is without Owen . I know she had a crush on Flint. I thought I moved on when I started dating Julie but when she left I just got sucked in again only to get my heart crushed. Unfortunately we work together so I have to put on my best smile.

"So. Whats in your hand?" I know it is a dumb question but it was all I had.

"Ummmm."I could tell she was trying to stall. Which made me even more curios.

"Come on. If you can't trust me than how can I trust you when we are fighting the Ishina." I knew I had her there.

"Its a necklace from Flint."she said as quickly as possible I didn't know what to say or how to respond to that. So I did what I could and tried to make a joke.

"Aren't you only supposed to buy your girlfriend a necklace on the 2nd date?"

Amanda's POV

When he said that my heart just dropped. He was making a joke!? Out of all the people that I thought would take this seriously I though it would be him. Well if he wanted to play that game. Then game on. "I was thinking maybe we should find him and see if he will give us any help." The bell started to ding saying it was time to get the chicken fingers out of the oven. I could tell Mike was grateful because he just got his chicken fingers and left. Not once did he look me in the eyes. Maybe I went a little to far.

I went down to the dojo to see Mike asking Kid Q something. I think I heard him wrong because he asked if Kid Q would help him find someone named Flint.

"What?" I said as I walked in. "Did you just ask Kid Q to look for Flint?!"

"Yes." I could see in his eyes that he was hurt but he also looked so calm about everything.

"Why would you do that?"

"Because you said it was a good idea. Sorry guys but I have to go, see you guys later." Then he just left.

Mike's POV

I had to get out of there as soon as possible before I started to hit things. I couldn't take it but I knew it was the right sedition. We needed backup. I would just have to sacrifice my heart.

"Mike!" I could hear Amanda saying my name but for once I didn't want her around. I got out of the dojo in to my house and down the stairs. I didn't know where I was going or what I was doing but I had to get away from Amanda. I don't know how but I ended up on the top of the building I went to every day when Grandpa shut down the dojo.

"Mike!"I could hear Amanda coming. I don't know why but for some reason I didn't want to run anymore. If she wanted to talk, then thats what we were going to do.

"God you can run fast." Amanda said when she got to me. I just stood there waiting for her to catch her breath.

"Well what do you have to have to say for your self for running away." She looked really mad but honestly I didn't care.

"Mike, what is wrong with you."

"Nothing I'm fine." I couldn't believe the lie came so easily.

"Is this about Flint." She looked very concerned. I just couldn't take all this talk about Flint.

"No I'm fine. Amanda just go back to the dojo and help Kid Q find your boyfriend." I couldn't hide the jealousy or anger out of my voice.

Amanda's POV

Okay joking about him being my boyfriend was one thing but putting it on the line like that was ridiculous.

"Is this what this is about me and Flint." I knew it was but I just had to make sure mike was jealous before I jumped to any conclusions.

"I don't know, maybe." Did he just say that. OMG Mike likes me Mike likes me. Keep it together Amanda.

"Well you know he not my boyfriend right."

"He could be he got the swag as Owen puts it."

"Well I don't like him like that so there. I don't want you going and finding him, I just wanted to see how you were going to act."

"Well if you were trying to make me jealous than mission accomplished." Did he just say that. That can only mean one thing Mike likes me.

"So why were you jealous." I was trying really hard to keep my cool just so i could make him say that he liked me.

"Come on Amanda can't you figure that out on your own." I could feel myself blushing. He gave me one of his signature smiles and leaned in.

Mike's POV

I was doing it! I was about to kiss Amanda Mckay, the most amazing girl ever. When she started to blush my heart skipped a beat and i knew that it would be okay to kiss her. I was so close our lips millimeters apart, when my phone started to ring. I jumped back and answered the phone.

"What." I said as calmly as I could.

"I found him." It was Kid Q.

"Your found Flint. Well were is he." I honestly didn't want to know but I figured that it was the polite thing to do. I didn't want all of Kid Q's work to be for nothing.

"Well technically he found you. Were ever you are he is about a foot away. No wait, now my reading say he is right behind you."

"Hello ninjas."
