Tag to Detention. Cause I saw Kevin run with the nurse and then I didn't see Nick so I quite naturally assumed that he was with Macy. And I refuse to believe otherwise. ;)
My Precious.

Nick was so close. So close to getting near Macy Misa and telling her that she had played an awesome volleyball game, and also so close to smelling her on the sly. Because Nick was a stalker extraordinaire, not in a dangerous way of course and he found that whenever he was frazzled like today - because they had to get the song recorded and all by tomorrow - smelling Macy's Apple Delight shampoo eased his nerves.
So he was inching close and suddenly the fire alarm sounded. Nick was startled.
Good gracious, was the building on fire? But his super sensory nose couldn't even smell the slightest hint of smoke. In any case, from he was a little boy Nick had been taught that in case of a fire, he should just drop everything and grab the thing that was most precious to him and run. Or at least try to because in some situations due to the capricious nature of fire, one couldn't even grab one's pants and hoof it because one didn't want one's eyebrows to get singed and fabulous hair burnt to cinders.
Needless to say Nick berated himself for spending so much time on useless chitter chatter.
"Nick did you hear that?" Macy said as she closed the distance between them and gazed worriedly at him.
But Nick was a man of action, when it came to serious situations like this and instead of replying to Macy, he just scooped her up in his arms and set off down the hallway at a terrific pace. He was so focused on getting out of the apparently burning building that he didn't he listen to Macy's squeaks of protest. Or maybe he couldn't even hear her because of the task at hand – get one's most precious thing out of the fire. Ahem.
It was only when they reached outside did Nick set her down.
"What was that all about?" Macy asked in a strangled voice. Nick had the grace to blush.
"I thought there was a fire." That seemed the only suitable and believable explanation he could offer. At that same moment Kevin came racing out carrying someone who seemed to be the school nurse, Nurse Johnson.
"Oh hi guys!" Kevin said brightly. Nick nodded and Macy smiled weakly. Really, this was too awkward.
"So Kevin, why was Nurse Johnson in your arms?"
" I was in the sick room cuz Nurse Johnson was helping me get my head out of sweater, where it got stuck by the way at the neck and Dad always told us that in case of a fire we need to pick the thing that was most precious to us and run. So I picked Nurse Johnson cause she's my Bingo buddy and always helps me when Mrs. Caruthers cheats." Kevin smiled at them and then smiled at Nurse Johnson with whom he then shared a fist bump.
Meanwhile Nick seemed to have frozen. Macy was blushing profusely.
"So…I…uh…" Macy didn't know what to say and scuffed her shoe nervously and checked out the ground intently. Thankfully Nick seemed to have understood and he nodded and Macy left with a cheery wave, still blushing.
"So Macy was your precious thing huh?" Kevin asked teasingly.
Nick's throat seemed all choked up. "I've got to go."
And with that he fled the scene, still blushing of course, a development which Kevin didn't fail to notice.
Interesting.
So er, a little lame but hopefully it wasn't too bad? By the way, in this episode, I absolutely adored Macy and Stella. They were so sweet and adorable and now I'm absolutely determined to write friendship tag for them come hell or high water. And Macy has such lovely and shiny hair. She just keeps getting awesomer and awesomer. :D
And the title was a lame allusion to LOTR. :D
And finally, one wee request. Go check out the Horace Mantis Awards. The links are up on Loved - Invention's and Suburbs profiles. So go nominate and stuff. :D
