Don't y'all just love how quickly I add new chapters?

Jayden had interesting day with Jordan. After playing on the swings for a while she made him go through the rest of the play equipment. He felt silly playing on the monkey bars and the slide but had to admit it was fun. After playing on the play equipment, Jordan dragged Jayden to get some ice cream and then to the movies.

The rest of the rangers had returned from Rainbow's End and Emily was still feeling a little down about before. "You okay Em?" Mike asked when Emily sat down with a sigh.

"I can't stop thinking about Jayden and that girl he was with. I mean, who is she?"

"Well he did mention to me and Mike that her name is Jordan."

"He ditched us to spend the day with her, and I saw them hug." Emily looked up at the others. "You guys don't think they're dating do you?"

"We shouldn't toss out the possibility." Mia told her gently.

"I'm gonna go outside for a while." Emily got up and headed out. They knew she was gonna go play her flute like she always did when she was upset.

"I don't think she liked that answer." Kevin said to Mia.

"I know but she needs to get it in her head that it is possible that Jayden has a girlfriend." At their looks she added, "Better that she has the thought in her head so she can get used to the idea instead of having her act this way when or if he decides to introduce her to us."

"Mia," Mike started, "did you not see her face when she saw them together or when she was just talking about them? She's obviously hurt and jealous and we don't even know for sure who this Jordan girl is."

"I know it's hard for her, and I know it's going to be even harder for her to see them together but if she really cares about Jayden then she'll have to keep smiling and be happy for him."

"I don't know,"

"Come on Kevin, if a guy I liked suddenly got a girlfriend I'd want him to be happy even if I'm not the one making him happy."

"So are you enjoying you birthday Jordan?" Jayden asked when they walked out of the movie theater.

Jordan smiled and nodded. "Yeah, it's been a great day."

Jayden checked his watch. "It's not over yet. It's only six. We still have some time to do something before going to get some dinner. What do you want to do now?"

"I wanna finish the conversation we had earlier."

"What conversation?"

"Don't play dumb, you know what, or rather who I'm talking about."

"Fine," They walked over to the bus stop bench and sat down. "Since you don't believe me when I say I don't have feelings, or in your words, 'the hots' for Emily, there's no point in denying it anymore is there?"

Jordan shook her head. "No, because…well you know what they say about denial. So how long have you felt this way about her?"

"Pretty much since I met her." Jayden confessed.

"And I take it you haven't given her any signs that you care about her?"

"Well…I tend to protect her and fight alongside of her whenever a nighlok attacks."

"Okay, what about telling her she looks nice or how pretty she is? Something subtle like that,"

Jayden shook his head. "It doesn't matter, she likes Mike anyway."

"How do you know?"

"Because they're always laughing and hanging out together. They play games, goof around, and they have a lot in common. I mean Emily's really bubbly and a bit younger than the rest of us and with Mike being an immature gamer, he doesn't act his own age."

"That sounds a like a brother and sister kind of thing to me."

"Well you haven't seen them together." Jayden sighed leaning his elbows on his knees.

"Earlier you said she was sad you didn't go to the amusement park with them and seeing us together was the last thing she wanted to see."

"Yeah,"

"Why was seeing us together the last thing she wanted to see?"

"Mike and Kevin said she looked jealous but I can't figure out why." Jordan rolled her eyes and smacked Jayden on the back of the head. "Ow!" He rubbed the back of his head. "What was that for?"

"Because you're a huge idiot Jayden."

"Why am I an idiot?"

"Because you're so dense when it comes to girls."

"What are you talking about?"

"Answer me this, how do you feel when you see Mike and Emily together?"

"Angry, hurt, jealous," Jayden answered.

"Well Jealous Jayden, you should really talk to Envious Emily."

"What are you talking about?" He asked still not understanding.

"If you're jealous when you see Emily with Mike, why else do you think Emily would be jealous to see you with me?" Jordan asked. "Especially since she has no idea who I am," She added.

Jayden thought about it. "You think Emily…no…she…she doesn't like me."

"Think about it Jay, she wanted you to go to the amusement park and was sad when you didn't. Plus she was jealous when she saw us together because it's most likely she thought I was your girlfriend."

"Oh my god, I am an idiot." Jayden buried his face in his hands.

Jordan placed her hand on his shoulder. "Admitting you have a problem is the first step."

"I'm gonna have to talk to her as soon as I get home." He said bringing his head back up.

"The sooner you talk to her the better, you should talk to her now."

"But it's your birthday, today's supposed to be all about you and you've managed to make it all about me, why?"

"Because I love you Jay and I want to see you happy,"

"But-"

"No buts," Jordan interrupted. "you told me you'd do whatever I wanted to do today and I want to meet your friends and see you get the girl of your dreams. Besides, I'd like to see Ji again, I haven't seen him since last year."

"Okay, let's go. By the time we get there everyone should be sitting down to dinner."

"Hope there'll be enough for me," They stood up and headed on their way.

Emily had played her flute until dinner time. It was the longest they had ever seen her playing it which meant she was extremely upset. "You feeling better Em?" Mike asked carefully.

"That depends, is Jayden back yet?" She asked a little harshly.

Mike immediately knew he shouldn't have asked. "Sorry no,"

"No I'm sorry Mike." Emily apologized. "It's just that Jayden doesn't strike me as the type of guy to leave his friends behind for a girl."

"I know what you mean, but then again Jayden doesn't strike me as the type of guy to get a girlfriend while fighting nighloks and moogers on a daily basis. I always thought he'd put off dating until we stopped Master Xandred."

"Me too, knowing how serious he is about being a samurai."

"Come on, Ji wanted me to get you to tell you that dinner's ready."

"I'll be right there, I need to put my flute away."

"Okay," Mike headed to the kitchen while Emily went to her room. When he got to the kitchen, he saw Jayden was back with Jordan who was hugging Ji. "You brought her here?"

"Yeah, she wanted to see Ji again and meet you guys." Jayden said. "Where's Emily?" He asked looking around.

"Um, she'll be right in." Mike answered.

"I'm right here," Emily stopped as soon as she saw Jayden and Jordan.
