Mike and Emily 3
Chapter Three
Emily couldn't sleep that night. She had a bruise where the Dragon Folding Zord had bit her, she had to wash her hair three times to get the pizza out of it, and she had made a fool out of herself in front of Mike. Even her favorite stuffed animal, a stuffed monkey, couldn't help her sleep, and that had been used to help her sleep since she was a baby. "What am I going to do? I just want Mike to like me." she said to herself.
Mike was having a hard time sleeping as well. He was playing his Nintendo DS, something Mentor had taken away from him once because he had been up all night playing it and was late for training the next day. He was playing Pokemon SoulSilver, something he had found relaxing after a rough Nighlok battle or an intense day of training. It wasn't helping him at all at this moment. "Man, I can't believe she doesn't seem to show any interest in me." he said to himself.
Simultaneously, the two got up, and changed into their training outfits, put on their shoes, and went for a late night run. They both exited through different areas of the Mansion.
Mike had plugged in his Ipod and began jogging in the woods. He found it a bit easier to relax in the woods, since his element was the Forest. He just began listening to "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor. "This definetly needs to help me clear my head. I just wish she would show some interest in me." he thought to himself.
Emily turned on her Ipod as well. It had been a birthday present from her sister when she turned 17. She was jogging on the road, since they were out in the middle of nowhere. Her favorite song had just started playing, "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey. She had loved this song since she was 6. She never stopped believing that she would find a person that actually cared for her, or that her sister would get better. No matter what, she didn't stop believing, and she wasn't about to start now.
Mike had just reached a two mile point in the woods, and turned back around. This run was definitely helping him clear his head. He began running back to the Mansion. The next song on his Ipod started playing; "Gotta Be Someone" by Nickelback.
Ironically, the same song began playing on Emily's Ipod as she headed back towards the Mansion as well. It was getting colder out, and she just wanted to wrap herself up in a blanket and turn on the TV.
They both got back to the Mansion at the same time, and walked into the living room, and bumped into each other. "Ouch, sorry Mike." Emily apologized. "Emily, stop apologizing for everything. Accidents happen." Mike said laughing. They sat down on the couch.
"So where were you?" Mike asked Emily. Emily shrugged. "I went for a run. I had to clear my head of some stuff." she answered. Mike nodded. "Yeah I had to do the same thing." he replied. Emily was surprised. "Really? What was on your mind?" she asked him. "It's a long story, and I'd like to ask you the same thing." Mike said to her. Emily sighed.
"I really like this person, and I am too afraid that he doesn't like me the way I like him, and that I made a total idiot of myself in front of him today. He is so sure, and positive, and I'm just too clumsy, and not confident, or sure of myself." she said. Mike nodded.
"I know the feeling. I like someone too. She is a great girl, and I just wish she would possibly show an interest in me." he finished. "Who do you like?" Emily asked him. Mike looked at her.
"I like you Emily." he told her. Emily's heart began beating faster and faster. He really did like her! She was so excited, tears formed in her eyes. Mike took notice of this quickly. "Whoa, are you OK Emily? Did I offend you in anyway?" he asked her.
"No. It's not that. it's the fact that I like you too." she said. Mike's stomach went into his throat. "Really?" he asked. Emily smiled. "Yes." she said. The two leaned into each other, and began to kiss. Emily then began shaking.
"Emily, are you OK?" Mike asked, startled by her shaking. "Yeah, I'm just cold." she replied. He smiled and went and got her a blanket, and covered her up in it. He then put his arms around her and held her. She put her head on his shoulder and smiled as they watched TV.
Jayden walked into the living room the next morning, ready for training. He walked in and saw the two on the couch; Emily with her head on Mikes shoulder, and covered in a blanket, and Mike with his arms wrapped around her, and his head on top of her head. He smiled at the two. Mia and Kevin then walked in and saw jayden, who looked at them, and put his finger to his lips.
The two walked over and saw Mike and Emily. "Well, it looks like they told each other." Kevin said. Mia smiled. "Emily found her Prince Charming, and Mike found his Princess." she said happily. Jayden smiled at them.
"You think we should wake them?" he asked. Mike stirred in his sleep. "Do you want to get yourself hurt before training?" Mike asked him. The others started laughing. Mia looked at Jayden. "I guess he told you." she told him. Emily then stirred in her sleep. 'Don't think you're out of it." Emily said. The boys laughed at Mia's shocked look.
They then headed out, leaving Mike and Emily to sleep. Both had smiles on their faces, knowing they were finally with each other. Ji walked into the living room, and saw the two, and walked over to them. "Time to train you two." he said.
Mike looked up. "Alright, we will be out in a minute." he said. Getting up, Mike looked at Emily. "So how did you sleep?" he asked her. She smiled at him. "Good, you?" she asked. "He looked serious. "I had a weird dream." he said. She looked oddly at him. "About what?" she asked.
With a straight face, he looked at her. "I had a dream of eating a pizza topped with strawberries." he said. Confused, Emily still looked at him funny. Mike laughed. "You're hair smells like pizza and strawberries." he said. Laughing, she then chased him outside, where she proceeded to trip over Jayden's sword.
