Ohh geuss what, I am back! OH MY BLUBBERS.. I haven't updated in so long! Please don't hate me! I thank you all for being so patient! Summer is almost here and it's one of the most busy times of the year for me and I have alot on my mind, so sorry if SOME parts don't make much sense.
Well, anyways, hope you enjoy the chapter!
"Huh?" Locke asked.
Skye walked back into the kitchen, sitting down in her seat.
"Nothing." She said, shaking her head.
Locke gave her a suspicious look, but slowly nodded his head. He then got out of his chair, standing up and starting to walk out of the room.
"I'm going to get ready." He stated over his shoulder as he walked out into a different room.
Skye sighed heavily, she was really tired. She propped her elbow on the table, her hand holding up her head. Her eyes slowly closing, just then, they jolted open and her whole body lit up the same dark aura Locke usually did when he flys.
She suddenly didn't feel so tired anymore, she felt as if she had ten coffees in under two minutes. She didn't notice Locke standing at the doorway until he spoke.
"Whoa.." Was all he could get out.
Skye shrugged a little.
"What..was that?" Locke asked as he sat down quickly, eager to listen. Skye shrugged once again.
"I told you, I randomly light up, and when I do, I am suddenly pumped." She said, bouncing a little.
This has happened a few times before, when she felt hyper aftwards, she had learned how to control it somewhat, so she wasn't bouncing off the walls.
"You know.." He trailed off.
Skye waited patiently for him to continue.
"That aura around you, that's what surrounds me.. maybe it is somehow linked together." He said, thinking.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"I mean, what if this means something? You lighting up randomly, losing some powers but gaining some at the same time..what if it is a part of something bigger?" He said.
"I don't get it.." Skye trailed off.
"When I was younger, I went through something.. i'll tell you more about it later, I need to think about it more." He said, putting his hands on his forehead.
Skye nodded.
"Alright." She said with a smile.
Locke looked over at the clock. Noticing the time.
"Come on, we should go meet up with the others now." He suggested.
Skyes' smile grew even bigger instantly. Locke smirked.
"Tell him." He said.
"Huh?" She was confused.
"You know what I am talking about." He said, rolling his eyes.
"I actually..don't.." Skye trailed off, blushing a little out of embarassment.
"I am talking about how you have feelings for Espio, duh." He stated it as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"I don't know what you're talking about.." She trailed off, blushing.
"You two know you like eachother, you just don't want to admit it." He stated.
Before Skye could ask, he spoke up again.
"Because you don't want to ruin your friendship." He said, answering her unasked question.
"Well I geuss your right.." She spoke quietly.
"Of course i'm right!" He exclaimed.
"Listen, if he really likes you, he wont let anything happen to your friendship. No matter what." He spoke gently, putting a hand on her shoulder.
Skye gave a small smile, nodded her head.
"Thank you. You know, that was really-"
"Deep, I know. It's disgusting." He said with disgusted face.
Skye giggled. Then, they both got out of their chairs and walked out the door.
When they got to there, Skye stood infront of the door, eagrly knocking on it. She couldn't wait to see Espio again. Then, someone answered the door, it was Espio.
Unexpected, Skye jumped on him, giving him a huge hug. He fell on the ground, smiling and hugging her back.
"You guys, there is a kid in the room." Locke said as he gestured to Charmy, who smiled and waved.
Skye and Espio both blushed, Skye got up and off of Espio before helping him up. Then, they all headed out the door and to the park.
When they got there, they rested right next to the forest where a patch of dirt layed. Charmy and Vector had already came earlier and put logs in it, and rocks around it.
Vector lit the fire.
Vector sat on a log beside Charmy who was on a log to the left of him, next to them on the right Locke on a seperate log. Skye and Espio both preffered the ground, so Skye sat on the ground beside Locke, and Espio beside Skye.
"Marshmallows!" Charmy exclaimed as he got a big bag of different colored marshmallows out.
"Who wants some?" He asked.
Everybody shook their heads, Charmy shrugged.
"More for me." He said as he began to shove a handful into his mouth.
"Uh Charmy." Vector said.
"Yes?" Charmy asked, his voice muffled from all of the marshmallows in his mouth.
"Use this." He said simply as he handed Charmy a metal rod. (A/N: You know, the ones you can buy from the store to cook marshmallows, rather then using a dirty stick.)
"Okay!" Charmy exclaimed as he took the rod, sticking a marshmallow on it, then, he stuck another on. And another.. and another.. until he had about 19 marshmallows on it.
"Thanks, this is really useful." Charmy was with a smile as he hung it over the fire. Vector sweatdropped.
"Uh..no problem."
Skye smiled, she liked this. Just hanging out with all of her friends, relaxing, not having a care in the world. She then turned her attention to Espio, she looked to her right to notice the chameleon was not present anymore.
"I'm goin' to find Espio." She told the other three, with that, she got up a walked away.
She fould Espio sitting up against a tree, looking up at the moon. She smiled, walking up to him.
"Mind if I sit?" She asked.
He looked up and smiled.
"Not at all." He said as she sat next to him.
She noticed him looking at the moon again, she had to admit, it was pretty. The way it lights up the dark night sky, and the way it sits next to the stars.
"Beautiful isn't it." She said as she leaned in a little closer to him.
"Yes, very." He said as he continued to stare.
What they didn't know was that, a couple feet away, Locke and Charmy were watching from behind the bushes, listening to the whole thing.
Just then Vector came up from behind them.
"What are you gu-"
"SHH!" Charmy hissed as he clamped a hand over Vectors mouth.
"Skye and Espio are having a moment out there and we are NOT missing it." Locke said from infront of the duo.
Vector smiled and nodded, hiding behind the bush. The trio then turned their attention back to the 'couple' a couple feet ahead of them.
"You know, I cheris our friendship." Skye said.
"Me too." Espio replied.
"You know." Espio started.
"You never really did tell me what happened." He said.
Skye cocked her head to the side in confusion.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Did you find anyone? Any family?" He asked.
Skye instantly frowned a little, she then shook her head.
"No." She said in a sad tone.
Espio felt terrible, he shouldn't have brought it up.
Skye looked away a little, just then she felt warm arms wrapped around her. She looked over to see Espio, she smiled lightly before hugging him back.
The two stayed in that position for about five minutes, to them, it felt like forever. In a good way. Skye looked up at Espio, smiling.
"Espio." She said.
He looked down, arms still wrapped around the young feline.
"Yes?" He asked,
"Nothing." She said, looking away a little.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
Skye didn't feel OK, she wanted to admit her feelings so bad, but was so scared at the same time.
"Yes, I'm okay." She lied.
"No you're not." Espio said, looking at her in concern.
"Well.. I don't know how to say this." She said.
"Just say it, I promise I wont judge you." He said with a reassuring smile.
"Promise?"
"Promise." He answered.
Skye sighed, this was it.
"Well.." She began.
She then buried her head onto his chest.
"I think I like you more then a friend."
