Chapter 2
" A Plan of Action"



Brennan Mulray looked at the clock on his night stand, it read 1:30 am, he sighed and looked over at Shalimar.

Shal, it's late! what do you want?' His voice full of irritation.

Shalimar smiled. I'm sorry Brennan, but this is important, just wait till Jesse get here Shalimar rubbed Brennan's arm gently.

Ok Shal! I'm here, what do you want to talk about Jesse said quietly as he entered Brennan's room.

Shalimar's face lit up as she smiled I have something that you guys might want to see! Shalimar grinned evilly and waved the paper in the air.

Brennan Looked at the waving paper and smiled what is it?

"It's a poem... that Adam wrote" Shalimar said and looked at the guys
"Ok... what's so special about that?" Jesse said with a confused look on his face.
Shalimar looked from Jesse to Brennan, he too had a confused look plastered onto his face.
"Well! It's not just any poem.. it's a love poem" Shalimar look at the paper she held in her hand. "and it's to Emma"

Brennan and Jesse looked at each other then back at Shalimar, their faces had shock written all over them.
"What!? it's to Emma!?" Brennan's voice was confused "Adam has feelings for Emma? When did this happen?" Brennan looked from Shalimar to Jesse again.
"Hey! Don't look at me! I had no idea either!" Jesse said raising his hands in defense.
Shalimar laughed softly. "Well the love sick vibe coming off of Adam is so thick you could cut it with a knife!" Shalimar laughed again. "Well I have this idea! Since We know that adam loves Emma, I thought that maybe we should give them a little help..." Shalimar grinned brightly. "so what do you guys think?" she asked.
"Well.. I think that it's a good idea... but we need a plan." Jesse smiled and looked at Brennan.

Brennan wasn't sure how he felt about this idea, he cared for Emma like a little sister, like a best friend. The idea of Emma and Adam being together sort of rubbed him the wrong way, he was their leader after all, and he was old enough to be her father. He wasn't sure, but he'd go along with the plan, if this made Emma happy then he'd be happy for her.

"Sounds good to me!" Brennan said softly "Let me see that poem, Shal" he said as he held out his hand to Shalimar and took the poem from her.
Brennan Read the poem over and looked up at the others "Wow! It's a good poem!" He looked it over again "I didn't realize how much Adam felt for Emma.." Brennan passed the poem to Jesse and continued " We have to show Emma the poem" He looked at Shalimar, her face had a mischievous look to it "What are you thinking Shal!?" Brennan said with a hint of exasperation to it.

Shalimar's mind was forming the greatest scheme ever, she smiled as she looked at her friends.
"Well.. I was thinking .. what if we just lead them to find each other...?"
Jesse caught on quickly "Put the poem somewhere Emma will find it..." he said smiling.
Brennan's eyes widened as his mind caught up to the other's. "What a Great idea Shalimar!" he said laughing.

The three friends talked into the early morning Discussing their plans to lead their friends to fall in love.
It was five in the morning when they finished planning, but Shalimar was excited to start on their plan. Shalimar silently walked down the hallway, in the direction of the meditation room, shalimar knew that it would be the best place to leave the poem, the place so emma would find it.
Shalimar walked into the meditation room and looked around. "Now where to leave it?" she said softly to herself as she began to look around the room. Then as if it spoke to her it's self, she found it, the perfect place.
Quietly, she walked over to the meditation pillows and gently placed the poem on it, smiling. "You'll thank us later..." Shalimar whispered as she turned and left the room and headed for bed.
