Great Expectations and the Perfectionist Chapter 14: The Blaze of My Heart's Flame, a beyblade fanfic

--------------------------

Chapter 14: The Blaze of My Heart's Flame

I had just opened the book that mom had sent me a few weeks ago. She said I could only open it and read it the day before I come to meet her during the summer. Finally, I can read it. It was called 'The Blaze of My Heart's Flame'. Another one of mom's love novels, wonderful! sarcastic. I picked up and read the back of the book.

The Blaze of My Heart's Flame is a tale so close to me that if I tried to think about writing it I cried. It's the story of an American girl with Red hair and beautiful crystal glass blue eyes. She finds everything she wants but at what extent will one go to, to find this. Emily leaves Kansas to go to New York, to reach her perfect career opportunities. She then goes to Japan to get proper schooling for her career and then returns with a fiancé and happier than anyone alive.

Does happiness equal leaving your family and friends? Is you're heart in the right place if you forget what people wanted for you and you do what is best for yourself? Are you you're own best matchmaker? I know not when I was in her place but when Emily takes my place these answers is clear.

"Emily, I'm so sorry that you're mom did that to you." I shook my head, no.

"It's fine Kai. I need to know what sacrifices I made and how they affected my family and others. I then will write the final chapter for her and answer these questions. This is the first time I can show my opinion." I held the book close to me. The book was very short. It had many short chapters; each containing an interview with a friend of mine or family member and their thoughts on these questions. I broke down in tears and Kai just held me tight in the seat of the plane.

Kai went into my bag and pulled out my laptop. He set it in front of me. "Write your answers truthfully before what they say changes you're honest thoughts about it. It's what best for you and the book. I promise." Kai said and I nodded and typed out my chapter. Chapters were for each person; my mom, dad, cousin, Judy, Michael, Tyson, Hilary, Max, Miriam, Mariah, Ray, Dani, -to be added Kai and Emily (herself).

Chapter 14: Emily (me)

Does happiness equal leaving your family and friends?- No, I believe it doesn't. I could have just as easily been me falling in love with my next door neighbor. Would I be happy thought. No, I needed to leave not for happiness. For a few chances of a lifetime. I had a chance to become my dream job, go to my dream college, work with the best blader in the world, teach new students how to blade, to go where my dreams led me. Happiness equals going wherever and whenever you want to if that means you'll be happy. Happiness is only happiness if you have your own feelings and dreams in it and I'm happy and maybe for me that's what happiness meant.

Is you're heart in the right place if you forget what people wanted for you and you do what is best for yourself?- No, it's in the perfect place. Your heart is your own. If you only did what other people wanted you wouldn't be happy and you couldn't be happy. Being happy is what's best for yourself and that means forgetting what things other people want for you and using your own happiness to guide you.

Are you you're own best matchmaker?- Duh! You're the only one who knows what kind of person you love or hate. You can only be happy if you let your heart be you're guide. Without your heart you can't be happy and you couldn't fall in love.

Other Notes: I let my heart and dreams be my guide and look where I am. I have a wonderful family, friends, teammates, a fiancé (for the present time), good students, a perfect college career, money, a car and everything anyone could ever want. So I had to leave, forget what others wanted for me, and make my own decisions. If I stayed at home I wouldn't have any of this except a family. But honestly if they wouldn't have let me go; I'd hate them. You have to make sacrifices to be somebody.

I'm happy to be me now. Now that everything is in order in my life. I can go back home and accept what 'mistakes' I made. I say my only mistake was to not leave earlier. I learned love, independence, school subjects, money, and forever happiness. Thank you for making this book Mom but no thanks needed for almost ruining my life. I realize now that you were not being smart for taking me away from my destiny, love, job, friends, and everything that is mine. Even happiness.

"Emily, that's perfect. Do you feel better?" I nodded and just hugged him.

"Do you think I made the right choice way back then? Was I right?" I asked with tears in my own. I needed Kai to justify how I felt and he wasn't the best at this and neither was I but when it came to life lessons. No one is better than Kai.

"You said you had to make these choices on your own. So do it? According to what you said it seems you even to this day have never regretted it so I think not. I don't think you regret what you did for happiness." I smiled and looked in his eyes.

"I think whoever said that is the perfect person to make my decisions. Don't you agree?" He and I met in a kiss.

"Absolutely, she is perfect at writing books." I nodded.

"I'll tell her you said that." I pretended to pick my phone. "Kai said you're perfect at writing books and making my decisions." I hanged up.

"What did she say Emily?" Kai said as if he didn't know or hear me talking to her.

"She said thank you Kai. She's 100 percent glad she went to New York engaged in Beyblading then to Japan to go to school and fall in love." I kissed him as he held his arms tight around me.

"I'm glad so what do you say to this." He said as he pulled me in for a very delicate and yet very powerful kiss than made me feel like I was floating away.

"Safe in the blanket of my fiancé's arms, I rest knowing that I shall never forget what I did to become the me than I am today." I said as I feel to rest in my fiancé's arms.

"You're a poet and I said it so now you know it." I smiled at an old saying that Kai had twisted it to match our own situation.

"You know what Kai? He shook his head.. I'm going to write a book about my and your life called 'Great Expectations and the Perfectionist'. It's going to be written in the viewpoint of you and me and how our life was since the day I left to live this perfect life.

"Brilliant Idea Emily." He said why falling asleep, me close behind after I titled a blank work document page.

Kai's Viewpoint

I awoke an saw Emily's computer so I shrank down her file titled only as 'Great Expectations and the Perfectionist'. It was a wonderful document written by her. I can't wait to see the finished product and see how Emily and I see each other and everything.

I still needed to write my chapter well page of Emily's Mom's Book. It was chapter 13: Kai. I brought up another blank word document and typed it.

Chapter 13: Kai

Does happiness equal leaving your family and friends?- It doesn't have to. If who you love, you're dream career, you're life and everything you need to be happy is right where you are then no it doesn't. I haven't met anyone who as ever stayed in their home their whole life and is happy with everything Emily has. I've never met over 30 who has a wonderful life and has never traveled for a job, love, school or anything. One spot can't supply you with everything.

Is you're heart in the right place if you forget what people wanted for you and you do what is best for yourself?- Yes, you need to make yourself happy and if you know what that means that you have to go wherever that leads you. It's simply put as follow your dreams and they'll never steer you wrong if your heart is pure and happy.

Are you you're own best matchmaker?- If you have a brain and a heart than yes. Than if not, no. Your brain makes a choice of a person who needs you to be there for him or her and your heart follows that plan. If someone made up your choice then it wouldn't be your choice it would be his or her choice. Love is mutual and imperfect. It is a system of positives and negatives a balance of good and bad of each person balancing out each person.

My Note to you: Emily most defiantly made a choice that lead her clearly to be happy. Sacrifices are the only way to get anything done in life. You sacrifice a little part of you in everything you do. Sometimes you can get the parts back my returning to where you left them and start over.

I had to sacrifice some of my health in order to save all my health. I had to sacrifice being with my family and friends but it was something I needed to do to do what's best for me. Either way I am happy with Emily and I wouldn't regret doing what she did and she doesn't so why should I. Here are some questions you should use if you were making a sequel.

Would you go wherever you're dreams led you? Would you like to never leave your house and live there forever? If you found love would you forsake it just because it was away from that house? If you loved a certain job would you go out of your way to do it? If you found love would you care where it landed you?

It's a perfect questions and here are my answers for them.

Yes, no, no, yes, no. See it's easy. I like Emily, let my dreams and destiny guide itself. The questions are completely answered by those words and that statement and if you have any sense than your answers are and should be the same as mine were for you.

Now that I was done writing that for Emily's mom's book; I was happy to know that people saw how stupid the book and those questions were. If you answered those questions for me I'm sure you too would also answer like me. If you had any pure thoughts or a pure heart.

I looked at Emily's blue eyes and realized that before Emily could go to Japan I had to be there so she could challenge me so in her book I had to write my part of how I got from Russia to Japan and from my grandfather. It all seems so long ago; Without Emily, no challenge, a normal plastic blade, no feelings, no schooling, and no job. Well I still have no job but I get paid enough threw my tutoring of Sam and Kaelan and everyone in their class.

Emily started stirring as I typed the first chapter of her, well our book. It started with a intro about us then my fight with my Grandpa, leaving home, the hotel and then Emily would put in what was happening with her then.

"Kai, what in the world are you doing." Emily said tiredly as I consistently persisted to keep typing. "Ah, how you met me before I was there. Smart thinking, it started with you leaving, me coming and us together. I like how you are thinking."

"Me too. I already have a sequel planned. Great Expectations and the Perfectionist 2 and maybe even 3." I don't think her mind worked as well as mine did at night. Hers was running on empty at night and was tired out.

"Are we the main duo in those or are someone else?" Emily asked, it was a smart question regardless of if she was tired and dreary eyed.

"Kind of, It's about 2 kids who at the age of about 13 find role models like them. The third is about the role models' children who are like the kids and the role models who just happen to be the main duo in the first installation of the series." Emily smiled and hugged me.

"Go to bed and stop thinking so way into the future." I kissed her head as she laughed.

"Book 1 has still going on as two is at it's beginning and three could and just me right on it's edge of the duo's existence if you want." I said playfully as she smacked me with her mom's tiny book.

"Now that you mention in with 2 books that have barely started I think we might need to put the third duo on hold for a few years. What do you think Kai?" Emily was played are ow so old and funny tricks as pretending we are other people in third person format.

"If the duo wants to wait then I guess I'm fine with that. It will give me enough time to get the first book on it's good old way and second duo students ready to type their hearts out. I'm ready for the third duo when you are." I knew that Emily and I didn't want the third duo a.k.a. our children for a while. The sad thing is that our children won't be able to date.

I opened my mouth but it was stopped with Emily's lips. "No what?"

"The third duo won't be a duo it will be a single person who happens to meet someone who can play the other part; a new generation and new people." She nodded and we finally fell asleep on the 4th Word Document Page of the story when I go to school with Sydney to check out schools around the area. I couldn't wait to relive every moment I spent with Emily again. It would be the highlight of our time together. The books would also sell and provide us with money so that's good.
