AN- OK we're back. We know it took a while, and we're very sorry, but SOME people *cough* GinnyBloomPotter *cough* are very lazy. But there's a good excuse! AKA Fangirling. So… much… (insert fandom name here) There's Big Time Rush, Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Little Mix… and then school started again and computers aren't exactly easily accessible during class. And then she went abroad for a year. But here we are. With a new chapter. Yay?

Emily's POV

"Dude, what are you doing in my room?"

Mike sprung back and blushed. "I… um… I … well… you see… umm… whatchamacallit…PEANUTS!"

I looked at him with furrowed eyebrows. "Peanuts? You're in my room, because of peanuts?"

He grinned sheepishly. "Heh, yeah. Um, I had to know… are you allergic to peanuts? Because Mia was gonna make something called peanut surprise, and knowing her, she would probably put like, 5 pounds of peanuts in, and it won't look or smell or taste anything like peanuts, and she might not tell you it has peanuts and if you're allergic and you eat it because you don't want Mia to feel bad and you'll break out in hives, and you might fall into… whatchamacallit… what's that thing… um… a-na-fa-lacticity shock-"

"Anaphylactic shock, you mean?" I asked with an amused grin.

"Yeah, that. And then you'd have to go to the hospital and you might die, and we wouldn't have a yellow ranger and-"

"MIKE!" I shouted, effectively stopping his rant. "I'm not allergic to peanuts."

"Oh," He gave a huge and obviously fake sigh of relief. "Good, then we have nothing to worry about. In that case, I'll just… go… now… Bye!"

"Mike."

He paused, halfway to the door. He turned and smiled brightly. "Yeah, Em?"

"I think we both know that that's not why you were here."

He sighed and came back over to the bed, sitting in a chair next to the bed. "Okay, so I wasn't here to find out if you were allergic to peanuts."

"Really?" I asked sarcastically. "I couldn't tell from the way you rambled." I narrowed my eyes at him. "I think I just said that. So what's up?"

"I wanted to see if you were okay. You took quite the tumble."

"Why didn't you just ask that in the first place?"

He froze and thought for a minute. "Huh. You know, I have no idea. I thought you might… I dunno… be mad or something. You know, that I was checking up on you? Like, you might think that I didn't think you were able to get better on your own. Which I totally don't. Think like that I mean. I mean, I think you're really awesome and strong and-"

"Mike! You're rambling again."

"Right, sorry."

"Anyway, I think it's sweet of you to come see how I'm doing."

A familiar voice piped in from the doorway. "Especially because it's his fault you're in bed in the first place."

Jayden walked into the room with his arms crossed and his jaw tight.

I rolled my eyes at him. "Jayden don't be rude."

He smiled. "OK fine it was Serena's fault also…just kidding", he said changing his mind after reading my scowl. "But it WAS evil Serena's fault."

I could see Mike had an awed look on his face, like he'd just figured out a puzzle. It was an odd look for him, I reckoned. Usually he was just stuck in a state of perpetual confusion.

"What, Mike?" I asked him, trying to figure out what HE had figured out.

"Serena… That's your sister's name, isn't it?"

"Yes. We knew this. Why?"

"Well, wasn't that the weird nighlock's name too? Plus, she knew you… Emily, is the monster Serena YOUR Serena?"

I giggled nervously. "What? Mike, that's- that's craz… I mean… You're out of your… okay, maybe. Sorta. Yeah."

Mike looked angry. He turned on Jayden. "And you KNEW?"

Jayden nodded cockily, though I could see his nerves hiding behind the façade. "Yeah, I guess I'm just quicker at figuring things out than you are."

Mike glared. "That's so not true."

"Um, name one time you figured ANYTHING out before me."

"Well, there was- wait no that was Kevin… But what about- no that was Mia… But there was that- no, that was you."

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" I screamed, sick of the fighting. "I told him, alright?"

"WHAT?!" Mike yelled. "YOU TOLD JAYDEN BEFORE YOU TOLD ME?!"

"Stop it Mike. It's not personal, you should know that."

"Uh, evidentially it is, considering how much you guys LOVE each other."

Jayden and I stared at him blankly. "Mike, what are you talking about?" Jayden asked.

"I heard you guys talking, okay? I heard you tell each other you love them."

"You know, Mike, if you take things out of context, you're bound to get the meaning wrong." I pointed out. Then what he said registered. "WAIT, YOU WERE LISTENING TO MY CONVERSATION?!" I pointed at him.

Mike, looking nervous, tried to deflect by saying, "Emily, hasn't anyone ever told you it's rude to point?" as he pointed back at me.

"Yeah, you're one to talk," I caught his outstretched finger in my hand and twisted it. "But that's not what we were talking about. Mike, I can't believe you were listening in on our conversation!"

Mike was grimacing in pain and carefully extracted his now purple finger from my grasp. "You know, I really don't think my finger is supposed to bend that way."

"Mike," Jayden's voice was dangerously quiet. "If you don't tell us why you were eavesdropping in the next two seconds, it'll be more than just a finger that's bent out of shape."

"But see, that's not true, because if you don't like the answer, you guys are going to kill me anyway, so I think I'll just take my chances by running."

And he was out the door before either of us could make any move to stop him, leaving Jayden and I staring dumbfounded at the door.

A/N- Okay, so it was a little short but this seemed like a good place to end it off. Needless to say, you can probably expect Mike to go tell the others about it. We have a plan in place for how that's to pan out so, stay tuned. Hopefully, we will manage to get a new chapter up before the end of summer. (Let's face it, any shorter time frame might just be unrealistic given GinnyBloomPotter's penchant for laziness.)

Until the next time guys! If anyone's still reading this, please, drop us a review, don't be shy! We really want to hear from you!
