Look Out America
Chapter 10: WOW, a long chapter.
"Actually, it isn't." Kira said.
"I'm sorry."
She added.
"You agree I'm right and you're wrong?" Artemis' tone suggested surprise.
"Well I'm not wrong." Kira said stubbornly, "You're just right."
Artemis smirked. "Ri-ight."
"By the way...we have to go to the movies with everyone tonight!" Kira said, mock excitedly. Artemis hated American movies.
But they were necessary to keep up cover.
TJ and Caren were debating over what movie to watch.
"I wanna see "Love Forever Until The Bird Eats it'!" Caren said. "Well does it really matter?" TJ said, "It's not like were gonna be watching the movie!"
Caren snorted. "In your dreams!"
Britt butted in. "C'mon Ren. Danny's never seen How to Lose a Guy in Eleven Days, sequel to How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days. It has Johnny Depp, Robert Downey, Jr., and Paris Hilton."
"Oh my gosh!" Caren said, "I can't believe how deprived he has been! Fine. We can watch that!"
TJ and Danny looked at each other. "Why us?" they both asked.
"Oh, you know you like it!" Caren said, laughing.
---------------in the theater--------------------------------
Danny groaned. "We paid nine bucks to see Johnny Depp in a Speedo?"
"That's not the whole movie!" Brittlyn said frowning at his ignorance.
"Just the first hour," TJ whispered.
Caren threw popcorn at him playfully.
Soon the theatre was full of flying popcorn. An usher came rushing up. "HEY! You kids behave yourselves!" Danny snorted. "Not only are you about our age, but we are the only ones insane enough to pay money to see this movie, as such we are the only ones in the theatre!"
That resulted in them getting kicked out. Smooth.
"Smooth, Ar-Dan." Kira/Brittlyn griped.
"Ardan? Where did you get that from?" Caren asked, "Its my middle name." Artemis saved himself, glaring at Kira.
TJ laughed. "Better then Sally Mae, like some people we know. Coughcarencough," he said, actually pronouncing the coughs.
Everyone laughed. "We really should be heading back." Danny commented. "It's getting dark." "But all the fun happens after dark!" TJ wined.
Kira shivered. "Yeah, and it gets cold, too. I'm ready to go."
"Ahh, you guys are no fun!" Caren whined but they got into the car anyway.
Since TJ was sixteen, he was driving.
"No playing in the back seat!" Caren teased Brittlyn and Danny.
"As long as TJ keeps his eyes on the road, not you," Britt shot back
They all laughed again. "Hey, look the moons full!" Brittlyn said.
"Werewolves!" Caren squealed.
"I'm scared!" Brittlyn said sounding so much like she was actually scared almost everyone believed her.
"It's ok, trust me werewolves are the least of our worries," Danny reassured her.
"But..." her lip quivered, she was a great actress.
She suddenly shrieked, causing everyone to jump.
"What is it!" they asked. "I thought I saw a ghost! Danny, I'm scared!"
He looked skeptical, and she started laughing. "You scare so easy!"
It was dark then, Caren really was scared. The crowded car at nigh was the perfect atmosphere to sleep in which Kira did.
Caren had the radio to her favorite station, with lots of love.
songs.
Artemis looked at Kira for a second.
He still couldn't figure out why she looked so much more peaceful asleep.
Maybe because she wasn't talking. "What did you say?" Kira asked drearily, she was waking up. Opps, he hadn't meant to say it out loud.
"Nothing. Go back to sleep."
"Well, I'm not tired now. She said sitting up.
"Oh"
He said
, yawning.
"What is TJ playing?" Kira asked yawning. She lied she was tired.
"Nothing. Caren's playing... sounds like Always on my Mind."
"You know love song?" she asked laughing.
"Well the fact that the song goes, 'You were always on my mind/ Always on my Ming"
"I mean mind," he corrected himself.
"Oh, well I still think its cool that you noticed. She was half asleep.
He grinned/
Caren sighed. "This is a perfect night."
"Yeah." Brittlyn said drearily. "No." Danny said.
She turned to him. "Why not?"
"He looked at her."Were home!" he said aloud.
She smiled.
TJ laughed.
It was like 3:00 am when they got home. But the guys followed their tradition of walking the girls to their dorm.
"Bye," Caren said, puling TJ away for a more private good bye.
"Oohh!" Brittlyn laughed.
Then Artemis occupied her mouth with a more... fun pastime.
"You're acting weird." Brittlyn laughed.
"What, you don't like it?"
"I guess..." she didn't know the right answer."We are supposed to be pretending.
He frowned. "But... I thought we were going out for real too!"
"We are!" she said, "But, I don't know we were never like...this before."
"I guess that that song last night got me thinking."
"Thinking what?" Brittlyn asked curiously.
"Oh, never mind."
"No, tell ''em!" Brittlyn said, "Please?"
"Well, the singer was saying how he'd never held his... girlfriend I guess, enough, but she was always on his mind."
"Oh, really." Brittlyn laughed. "You think way too much!"
"G'night," he muttered, walking back to his room.
"What did I say?" she wondered aloud.
She shrugged, going into her room.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Next morning---
It was Sunday. Caren refused to wake up so naturally Brittlyn went by herself to breakfast.
"Bleh," she said at the look and smell of 'breakfast.'
She felt peculiar today. She suspected that Danny was mad at her. But she just couldn't figure out why.
He walked in.
And he looked straight through her. It was like they broke up or something.
She sighed. What was up?
"Danny!" she called as TJ and Caren sat down.
"Huh? Oh, hi."
"What's up?" she asked, that question had more than one meaning.
"Oh, nothing'."
"What do you want to do on the last night of the weekend?" she asked.
"Sleep," he moaned. "I was up all night."
"Doing what?" she asked.
"Just couldn't sleep, so I got on my computer. The next thing I knew it was seven o'clock."
"Wow. What kept you so busy?" she asked.
He glanced at TJ and Caren. "Stuff," he said meaningfully.
Brittlyn nodded. Stuff.
Caren yawned.
"Danny can you help me with a experiment?" Britt asked. "Outside?"
He stood up.
They walked outside,
"What is up with you, today?" she blurted out.
"What? I really was up all night!!"
"No, last night too! And that look you gave me this morning!"
"Kira," he hissed. "Nothing is wrong with me!"
"Yes. Something is." she argued,
"Look, I know me, you don't know me!"
'Excuse me?" she said, angrily.
He turned on his heel and stomped off.
Brittlyn felt abandoned. "Wait!" she called before he left completly.
"What?" he snapped.
"I guess I don't know you." she said.
"Look, I need some time to myself."
"Time for yourself. What happened to what you said last night?" Brittlyn was confused.
"What? When?" Arty asked.
"Before you went back to your dorm." she said. "About that song."
He furrowed his brow. "I honestly don't remember that. Why don't I remember that?"
"I don't know I don't know you remember." she said still mad.
Kira looked suspicious. "You stay here. I... have to do something."
She called up Holly. Sure, she could have taken Artemis but she was a little bit angry and confused over him at the moment.
"Holly, we have a situation."
"Situation, being?" she asked drowsily.
"Artemis has no memory of last night, and is acting weird."
"He always acts weird." Holly stated bluntly.
"Let me rephrase: Acting like a normal, American teenager." Holly blanched. "Why didn't you say it was serious!?"
"I thought it was implied!" Kira and Holly often argued. They were both stubborn as bulls.
Holly groaned.
Loudly.
: "Anyway, cant you mesmerize him tell him to act normal?" Kira asked.
"No-o. But if you bring him down here, I can 'un-mesmerize' him."
"Ok..." Kira hung up and tried not to panic. She went to go get Artemis.
"Hey, we're going on a trip. Fifteen minutes."
He had obviously been past he loner stage. "Hey babe!" He said totally ignoring what she had just said. Kira reminded herself she had to act like this was all normal.
"Hey! I've got a great idea. Let's go to a quiet place I know."
"Okay." he said.
He followed her like a puppy on a leash.
"Where is that quiet place, exactly?" he asked.
"Right around the corner."
"A jet?" he asked. Because it did indeed look like one.
"This place is rather far away."
