JJealous, so jealous. He saw how he made her laugh. HE! He made Emily happy. Why could he not? Reports and saddened he wandered off to his room. Somewhere he had hope. That hope was gone.

Pain around the heart. Why did she like "him" and not he? He sighed. He plopped down. There was knock on the door. Emily's head appeared. "We're going to Rainbow's End, meaning to go?" she asked sweetly.

He stared. "Uh" was all that came from his mouth.

"You do not have to, I was just hoping you .." Her voice fell away. She looked at her feet, a little shy. He smiled.

"I will, of course." That made her laugh. Man, he really would do anything to see her smile.

"Where are we going first?" Mia said.

"We can go all over," said Kevin.

"Yes, but where first."

"I do not mind."

"Me neither."

"Then we'll go first to Big Weel" followed by a groan of Emily.

"Mia," she whined.

"It did not matter?" She laughed. She pulled her with her.

"I'd rather stay on the ground," protested Emily. Mia did not let go. The boys laughed.

"Mia, I mean it, it's so ..." Her voice was stabbing when she saw the Big weel. So high. Emily swallowed. "No, Mia, no!" She started violently oppose. Mia literally pushed Emily in it and pushed him next to her. Emily lowered herself to him as the thing began to move.

"Relax," he said. His arm stroke reassuring about hers. Emily hid her head in his shoulder, eyes closed.

"Is it over?" He chuckled.

"Open your eyes, Emily. It's not so scary, I'm here. " Emily saved her grip a bit. She turned her head slowly. She swallowed again.

"So high," she wailed.

"Do not look down, watch the view," he said. "Even though I prefer to look next to me," he thought. Emily looked a little over the edge. She crawled right back to him.

"No thanks" She pressed herself against him. He grinned.

"Come here." He stretched his arm over her shoulder. "How's that?"

"Many better."

After the ride both came safely to the ground. "It wasn't so bad, was it" Mia teased. "On to the next." She took everyone with her.

Emily pulled him quickly to one side. Gave him a little peck on the cheek. "Thanks." Than followed Mia.

"Maybe" he thought." Maybe there was still hope. "
