AT the crack of dawn, Logan woke up. Eventhough it was pretty early in the morning, the sun was already coming through the window of his cousin's room. He stood up and started yawning and lingering in a quiet mood to not disturb his other cousins who were sleeping at the same bedroom.

He brushed his teeth and the voice inside himself murmured "Wish my dream with Mia could come true, but I'm not her type of guy" He frowned at the person who was being reflected on the mirror. It was time to make something nicely for the girl, he thought. He went downstairs almost tiptoeing. There he found his grandmother at the kitchen, and quickly went to hug her. She always had amusing advises for him, maybe she would know what he could do today to catch more Mia's attention.

"Logie what are you doing, waking up at this time?" Her grandmother asked giving the kid a sweet kiss on his check.

"Good morning, shall I ask you the same?" He asked answering to her question. "I require a hand of yours today, grandma. Would you help me?"

"What's the big deal? And why are you with that charming smile anyways! You boy… what might be in your head now!" That lovely guy of mine, she thought. She grabbed a cloth from the upper cupboards and came back to the wooden table in the centre of the kitchen where Logan was sitting at, with his foot over a chair.

"I want to make something for Mia, but I don't know what could I" He answered.

"Well, wouldn't you like to help me prepare breakfast for all these diners at my home?" Her grandmother grinned.

"Sure granny. But what could I do for her, as something she could consider remarkable?" Logan's aim was to hide his feelings towards Mia, but he was failing in the attempts.

"Well, sizzled sounding bacon I heard is really tempting… Whatcha say?" If Logan was showing a bright smile before, now his grin was even wider.

Logan thanked his grandmother, and the woman couldn't feel more proud of her well-mannered grandson. He was a well-raised kid, her daughter and her son-in-law have done a great work together. She was suspicious, Logan being all enthusiastic on making Mia feel as a princess was very lovely-seen from a boy of his age.

MIA opened her eyes as the sunlight was reflecting over her pale face. She was sleeping with Logan's girl cousin and her friend almost at the other corner of the house. She inspectioned the place. It was a huge house, where all things were made of a light-wood material. She sat over the mattress, watching how Sara was snoring like a tiny lion, but still being annoying to let Mia go back to her dreams. She struggled with the blankets to get uncovered and wore her white slippers to make her way to the double-glazed window. She stood there, tried slowly to open it so as not to wake up the girls. She saw Sara's friend move inside her bed, but she didn't wake up. Looking at the horizon, with her mind on other planet, she was trying to remember what she had dreamed last night. She knew that Logan was in it, but she couldn't remember, and she had already tried to go back to sleep so she could keep on dreaming with him. But her attempts ended on forgetting even more.

A pair of jeans and a plain white shirt were being worn by Mia. Once she finally finished combing her wet hair, she went inside the girls' room again and waited till her curls were done.

"Oh, it's you. Hi there" Sara's friend waved from her bed.

"Sorry if I woke you up" Mia muttered with a nervous tone.

"It's okay, honey. I was going to wake up sooner or later" Sara said stroking her hair.

"Oh, that's okay then" Mia didn't like when people called her like that, and her answer was motionless "I better go out so I don't wake up Sara"

Downstairs, the adults from the Mitchell family were sitting in the living room. Logan caught her eyes and go running to the final steps of the stairs and waited for her with an impatient smile he wanted to hide but he couldn't help but show it to her. Grandma laughing with the other people who were playing song with the guitar of uncle Larry stood up and went to the kitchen to bring two chairs closer to the centered table where Logan had all prepared to surprise Mia. When Mia went to the kitchen with Logan's companion she greeted his grandmother and thanked her for the gesture.

"Did these overgrown woke you up with their out of tune singing?" Logan asked waiting for Mia to sit down in her place.

"Not really. I woke up because sunlight did" She said blushing, as she got Logan looking at her with expectant eyes.

"Well, hopes this laborious breakfast forgives the behavior of my cousins leaving the windows open" Logan said grabbing his fork. "Tell me if you like it, I prepared it"

"Really? Logan, this smells great. Hope it tasted the same way" Mia ate a piece of the bacon that was on her plate. "Okay, good job Logan. Planning on leaving your love for medicine and joining the gastronomy side?"

"Why, thank you" He said smirking and looking at how she placed a lock of hair behind both of her ears. "But no, I just wanted to make breakfast for you"

Both kids remained in silence for minutes that seemed eternal for Logan. 'Was she being nice just because he was her friend or did she really mean it? Did she like it? Did she like the gesture? Did she hate me now?' were all Logan thoughts. Lenore voice could be heard from the living room calling them. Mia and Logan took the plates and placed them in the sink. She grabbed Logan's hand and went with his family fearfully. Both kids sit together sharing a red armchair which Logan's father said he had reserved for them.

"Kids, how is it going?" Uncle Larry asked friendly, leaving his guitar on a side of the big sofa he was sitting on with the other Lenore's sisters and brothers-in-law. "Are you getting ready for the big party?" He inquired, playing with his eyebrows, looking at Mia who was screeching her tiny fingers.

"Mia! I forgot to tell you that sometimes my uncles prepare comic acts or play music when we reunite for grandma's birthday parties, and that the last times my cousins and I had the opportunity to be part of the show thing too" Logan informed Mia, turning his look to her side.

"You should prepare something for granny" Larry said seriously. Mia panicked.

"Stop Larry, you are frightening her" Logan's dad said laughing. Mia relaxed when Larry started laughing again and apologized to her. "You should Mia, it's pretty awesome what these people have in their minds to show. Join the girls"

"Or you could join me!" Logan said enthusiastically and nervously laughing. "Come on, it's going to be fun"

"Sure!" She said as an answer to all the looks over here that were waiting on her response.

Everyone burst into a loud laugh. Mia was excited. If Logan was her partner for this, she was really looking forward for the catchy experience already. What would they be doing? She didn't know, but what she did know was that she was going to enjoy participating with Logan.

LOGAN took Mia outside, near the pond where he usually went at night with his cousins and sang some songs around the bonfire. What he enjoyed the most was the rustle of the wind and the trees leaves. He was sitting over the grass, cutting with small pulls part of his surroundings. Mia was resting by his side, with her head over his lap and humming the song she was hearing.

"What are you humming?" Logan asked her.

"I don't know, is just a song I have stuck in my brain maybe" Mia answered.

"You are crazy" He looked down and smirked at her.

"I hate you" Mia said laughing and getting up to sit near him. "I'm not crazy. The rhythm is coming from over there. Don't you hear?"

"Still crazy, I don't" Logan answered. "Maybe I am deaf and you are crazy"

"What a great combination, right? I'd sing to you and you wouldn't hear me" Mia said.

"What a happy story!" Logan said laughing "I'd hear you, not in the way I could enjoy your beautiful voice but my heart would recognize it and love it anyways. I would have a great thought of your voice. You should keep on singing"

"Okay, Logs, stop with this and pay attention. The noise is from there" Mia said pointing at the age-worn but still colorful barn that hided in between the gigantic trees. She avoided Logan's comments because she didn't want to have her cheeks showing that what he said was really touchy for her.

"I hear. Let's see" Logan stood up and dashed with Mia behind as in a competition of who was going to get first there. He didn't like the way she reacted to his feelings expression but he wasn't going to change his mind, and let his maybe wrong thoughts affect what his heart was shouting to keep the faith on this upcoming love. "Those are Lucas and Lewis with Sara" He said opening the doors of the barn when they reached its entrance. "Hello guys, where are the others?"

"Louis, Lucy and Lancelot are hided where you know they could be!" Lewis answered. "Hello sweetie" He greeted her, standing up from the mound of straw to give Mia a soft kiss in her cheek.

"Oh, war has already started, right?" Logan asked with furiousness in his eyes.

"You better hurry up, or I will win. And not only in grandma's party show" Lewis said and the other kids boohooed.

"We should better get started Mia" He said looking at her, motionless. "Is weird not seeing you with the others. You, that has always proclaimed himself as the mature between us"

"This time I know Sara and Lucas are better partners. Mia, you are into it too?" She nodded. "You should be with us then"

"Too late, he is with me, silly" Logan said happily and sticking his tongue out.

"Chill, Log, it's fine. We are going to win anyways" Lucas said from behind, calling Lewis with a gesture to keep on practicing.

"Goodbye, my love" Lewis said to Mia before turning back and Lucy laughed when Mia blushed.

Logan and Mia got out of there and he walked through the trees and bushes without checking if Mia was coming after him. He didn't care. He was mad. He prepared himself emotionally to confront Lewis when he saw him, but he couldn't help but got angry with him and Mia. He didn't like when she avoided his comments and now she got blushed with three words his cousin told her. Preparing all morning her breakfast, treating her like she deserved, being with her, and she got motioned with Lewis three words. With Lewis three stupid clever words to gain her heart. He hated that feeling. He hated being feeling it that strong for the first time. He had never been jealous before. He had when Edward from the second grade won the first prize on the science project. But it wasn't the same level that he was feeling now.

"Logan, could you go slower?" Mia begged.

"No, I can't" was his response. "We are almost home"

"Why are you angry?"

"Oh, you notice that. Cool" He said, sight-seeing and turning to his back. "Is nothing"

"Are you afraid of Lewis?" He denied the fact. "Are you afraid of losing?"

"No, Mia, leave it. It's fine" He said fiercely. And the silence remained till they got near the front porch. "I am focused"

"Tell me, I am all ears for you" Mia said with a low voice.

"Would you come with me? Or do you want to be with Lewis?"

"Logan! I came here to be with you! How could I leave you alone?"

"Hey, it's okay. I will go with Sara. She is pretty good with ideas"

"You don't want to be with me?"

"I don't want you to lose"

"I don't care about that. I barely know your cousin. I don't want him to rule me. Not after you told him recently"

"It would be better, there would only be two groups. Trust me"

"No. We will find something. Let's ask you mother. Come one, she can help us" Mia said placing her arm around his shoulders. "Lenore, could you help us?"

"Hello kids, there you are. You were the only one who we were missing its parade" She said showing a smile and open her arms to hug both of them. "What's wrong?" She asked when she realized her son was not acting like a monkey like he always does.

"Nothing, mum. Just… we don't know what to present tomorrow" He answered, still motionless.

"Logan, it's easy. What do you like to do?" Lenore looked confused.

Thanks God Charles was there to bright up the moment. "Logan, son, think. You like to sing, and you are always humming songs"

"So I am the crazy, huh?" Mia said laughing. Logan grinned.

"Sometimes when we go to the market I hum"

"Well, there you go"

"Dad, really? I don't think a blues song is suitable for the occasion. All of you enjoy the Texas country music, we are going to lose" He said laughing nervously at his confession. Mia didn't know he liked to hum, or even to sing.

"Are you ashamed? That's not a Mitchell value. Try a rock and roll rhythm then" Lenore said.

"Mia, we got it" He said hooking his arm with hers. "Let's go to practice, we are going to win. Thanks!" Logan was freaking happy now, and her mother loved to see her son with that playful dimpled smile. He was born to be a blessed kid.

"Thanks, Charles" Mia said leaving with Logan.

"We better get something ready before dinner that is in three hours" Logan said amused.

"Which song, Logie?" She inquired.

"Which artist?"

"Impress me" Mia said with a seductive voice.

Logan laughed, but he was impacted by that gesture of her. "The king of Rock and Roll, Elvis. The great Elvis" He whispered in the same tone Mia had just used a few seconds ago.

"We are so gonna win this!" Mia claimed excited.

Suddenly, an extremely loud laughing could be hear from the room they just agreed on what to present at the show.

'This girl… she is hilarious', he thought.

"Logan you are such cutie, you got jealous. Then you got happy again. You, boy, you are driving me crazy! But I supah dupah love being with you! You are the most amazing boy space friend I will ever have, I think for sure" Mia exclaimed hugging him.

Logan didn't care about Lewis. Mia told him she was the best, and nothing even mattered. Lewis got nothing on him. Mia preferred him over Lewis. He hadn't lost his friend, she was always there. His heart was suffering of an over explosion of mixed feelings. Feelings of tenderness and love. Jealousy had turned off now. His eyes were showing all what he couldn't explain with words. He was speechless. Not even a simple 'I love you' was enough to express what he was passing through on this time of faithful joyfulness. He didn't know he was in love, he didn't know he was wearing his heart on his sleeves.
