"This is so completely amazing!" Emily said to Drake with a huge smile on
her face. "I still can't believe I'm actually going to meet my sister,
finally! Everything is working out so well, now I know that all my
worrying was for nothing."
"I'm glad you're so happy. But, you need to remember, they still aren't completely convinced that we're not their enemy. We need to talk to Asteroid and figure out what the best way to tell them everything would be, maybe we should even take Asteroid with us when we go to meet them." Drake said, trying hard not to upset Emily or take away the extreme happiness that was glowing all around her. 'I haven't seen her this happy in a long time. I can't even remember the last time I saw her whole face glow like that.' He thought to himself as he watched her, practically skipping, through the park on their way back to the apartment.
Drake and Emily made their way back to the apartment so that they could talk to Asteroid about what had happened. They made only one stop, and that was because Emily got hungry so they stopped and got popcorn at a street vendor. "Yum!! I absolutely LOVE popcorn!! I could just eat it forever!" Emily laughed at herself, giving Drake a half smile. "Come on 'Popcorn Queen' let's get going. Asteroid is probably sitting at home now, wondering what happened.
On their way home, Emily and Drake ran into Darien and Serena. The two of them looked a little worried and were talking in quiet voices with their heads leaned in close to each other.
"Hey there you two!" Emily said as her and Drake walked up to the other couple.
Shocked, Serena jumped nearly two feet from the surprise of someone talking to them. "Oh, hi Emily, Drake."
Emily gave the two of them a bright smile and said "What are you guys up to today?"
"Nothing, we're just hanging out." Darien answered. "Would you two like to come with us to get a bite to eat?"
"We'd love to! Where are you guys going?" Emily quickly chimed.
"Great! Let's go, we're gonna go to Crown Café," Said Serena.
The two couples walked down the street, talking about school and what they'd done that day. They all got along really well. They spent the rest of the afternoon at the café just eating and talking. At about 5pm, Drake looked down at his watch and decided it was time to go home. "Hey guys, this has been a lot of fun and all, but Emily and I have some stuff to take care of still today. We'll see you two later." Drake said after looking at the time.
"Oh! Well, talk to you at school tomorrow, Emily! This was so much fun!" Serena said as she gave Emily a big hug good-bye.
"That was a lot of fun! We get along really well with them!" Emily said to Drake as they walked down the street hand in hand.
"Ya. it was almost a little strange. I get a very strange feeling every time we're around them. I just can't explain it, it's like I know them from some where, I just can't remember where, or even when." Drake said with a very confused look on his face.
"I know what you mean. I get that same feeling when I'm around them, but I can't figure it out. Hopefully we can figure it out as we get to know them better and spend more time with them" Emily replied, looking on the bright side the way she always does.
'She always knows how to make me feel better. I don't know how she's always able to keep that beautiful smile on her face no matter what.'Drake thought to himself, looking at Emily as they walked down the street.
Emily got out her apartment key and unlocked the door when her and Drake got home. "Hey Asteroid, we're home!" she yelled as she walked in the door.
"It's about time, I was starting to wonder if the two of you lost your first battle." Asteroid said as he strolled into the kitchen from the living room.
"You're just so hilarious, Asteroid, it makes me feel so loved to know that you have so much confidence in us." Emily said putting much sarcasm in her voice.
Laughing, Asteroid replied, "It's just a joke, Emily. Now tell me, what happened?"
The three of them sat down at the kitchen table while Emily and Drake told Asteroid the whole story. It didn't take long for them to finish it and Asteroid thought for a while about what he wanted to say then, "Well then. I suppose I'll have to go with you to this meeting tomorrow so I can fill in any holes you two might not be able to fill."
"Asteroid, I don't think it's necessary for you to come with us, but I guess you can if you really want to." Emily told him.
"Actually, I think it might be a good idea for him to come along. Maybe he could tell us more, maybe there are some questions we can all have answered." Drake said, after a few minutes of silence.
"Ya, you're right. It doesn't really matter to me, I'm just so excited about finally meeting my sister! I've waited so long.. I wonder if we look a lot alike?" Emily said, all her excitement shining through on her face.
'She can be so much like a little kid sometimes. but that's part of what I lvoe about her.' Drake thought, then he said, " I guess we'll just have to wait and see. But, we should probably get some sleep. That took quite a while, and we need to have plenty of rest for tomorrow."
"That's a good idea. Alright, I'll see you two in the morning." Asteroid said while stretching out and flexing his claws. He then walked out of the kitchen and into the living room, where he usually slept.
"Good night, sweetheart. I'll see you in the morning. I love you." Drake said, then he gave her a good-night kiss and went into his bedroom.
"Good night, hon. I love you too." Emily said, then went into her own bedroom.
'I can't wait for tomorrow. Thank you, God, for helping this to all work out so well.' Emily thought just as she was drifting off to sleep.
"I'm glad you're so happy. But, you need to remember, they still aren't completely convinced that we're not their enemy.
