YNNBL Chpt. 8

Hey guys! I haven't even POSTED chapter 7 yet, because I'm on a car ride home from the beach. I have sad news, though. I'm going to my Nana's on Monday to visit bacon ninja1209, and...

.

There's.

No.

WIFI.

I know! I can't post things on ff with my phone, and my laptop neeeeeeeeds wifi to post things! So you probably won't be seeing either this chapter or the next for a while, but just remember that I'm either done with it or am writing it. And that I love you. Here's chapter 8! (I set the goal of 1,500 words per chapter, by the way, so sorry if some of this stuff is just useless fillers.)

[[Kate's POV]]

I keep my eyes on the road, but the awkward silence filling the car is unbearably... Awkward. "So!" I exclaim cheerily, trying to make small talk. "What were you at Walmart for, Blake?"

Blake perks up at the oppurtunity of conversation. "Nothing much, really. My car's in the shop right next to the Walmart, so I walked over and bumped into you! Literally..."

I laugh. "Cool. What's wrong with your car?"

He laughed. "Actually, it has hail damage. From the big ice storm last week? That giant blizzard pretty much frosted over the entire city!"

Loki and I both winced at the words 'frost' and 'giant'.

I finally pull up to the fountains, where kids and parents alike are having fun. "Here we are!" I exclaim obviously, unlocking the doors to allow the boys to get out. We all climb out of the car and head towards the fountains. Blake runs into the water, and immediately runs back out, shivering. "Coldcoldcoldcoldcold!" He exclaims, and I giggle. Oh Blake.

"So... What do I do?" Loki asks, obviously lost on what we were doing. The fountains suddenly die down, leaving the pool calm. I snicker. "This."

I push him into the pool.

"Why? WHY would you do that? The water is freezing!" Loki exclaims, shivering. I'm too busy giggling to notice Loki pulling me into the pool, plunging me into the freezing water.

When I surface, I'm bloodthirsty for revenge. "Come here, you little-!" I laugh, and Blake ends up joining the chase as the fountains rocket up again. Eventually we caught the sneaky god, and a lake grabs him. "I'll keep him down! You do what you must!" He shouts, and we're both cracking up. Suddenly, Loki smiles, flickers, and disappears.

" a duplicate!" I mutter, and I splash through the icy cold water, trying to spot the real god. Blake joins me, grinning. "Hey, Kate. I need to, erm, tell you something." He says, and I stop. "Sure! what is it?"

My friend takes a deep breath. "Kate, I re-"

[[Loki's POV]]

I don't know why I did it. I hear Blake, and I know what he's going to do, and I just- I don't know.

"Kate, I re-"

I rush towards them, flailing my arms, secretly desperate to stop him from saying it. "Guys! I just remembered! I... What about the sun? Won't it burn me?"

Kate smacks her forehead. "Oh yeah! Let me spray you with sunscreen!"

I blink. "Sunwhat?"

She grabs my arm and pulls me out of the pool, leaving Blake mid sentence. He casts his eyes down and sighs. I sigh too, but in relief. Now... What is sunscreen?

[[Kate's POV]]

I shake the bottle of spray-on sunscreen and press down the thingy. A fine spew of sunscreen streams out across Loki's pale body. "Good thing you have a water shirt. We're almost out of sunscreen."

I'm too busy talking that I don't notice that the sunscreen made its way to Loki's face. More specifically his wide-open eyes.

[[Blake's POV]]

"Oh my god!" I hear Kate shout, and I look to see her rushing to Loki, who was rubbing his eyes. "Are you ok?" She asks, and Loki shoots a watery-eyed glare at her. "Do I look ok? You sprayed sunscreen in my face, you idiot!"

Something about this guy had been making me mad ever since Wal-Mart, and after he inturrupted me when I was finally about to tell Kate I like her, and now calling her an idiot, something in side of me sort of... snaps, I guess.

"Hey! Don't call Kate an idiot!" I yell, splashing my way out of the pool and rushing over to them. "She's not an idiot! You're the idiot if you think she purposely sprayed you in the face! She gets distracted sometimes, and it's not her fault! Just because you're a- a-"

I whisper the next sentence. "A god doesn't mean that here on Earth you can boss people around! And NO, I'm NOT scared of you and your hocus-pocus magic!"

Even I'm shocked at what I just said. Kate is gaping at me, blinking several times, and Loki just looks infuriated.

"You dare mock me, mortal? You dare stand up to ME, Loki Laufeyson, god of mischief, lies, treachery?" He roars, and I realize his magic has casts a soundproof bubble around us, causing the illusion that we are sunbathing on chairs instead of doing this.

I gulp. "Yes. Yes I do." I gather up the courage to stand tall. But Loki surprises me by punching me in the face!
Kate gasps. "LOKI, STOP IT!" She yells, but he's too swept up in anger to ntice her plea. I'm rubbing my cheek from the impact. "Hey, man, I'm not looking for a fight-"

Loki stares at me in mock surprise. "Oh? Well I guess we better stop..."

He punches me again.

This time I'm ready. I catch his fist with my hand and punch him with my other. "BLAKE!" Kate shrieks, and I bit my lip. "Sorry!" I call to her.

But she never gets to hear it, because Loki twists and teleports us boh somewhere dark and rocky.

"W-Where are we?" I ask, wide-eyed and a bit scared.

"Somewhere far away where no one can here you-"

"GUYS. BREAK THE FREAKING FIGHT UP RIGHT NOW." A voice calls- Kate's voice.

"Kate?" I yell, looking around wildly, and Loki closes his eyes and exhales heavily.

"sorry, Blake. I'll explain later. We need to settle this NOW."

Loki sneers to nothing. "Why should we?"

We suddenly are transported back to the fountains, where Kate is worridly looking behind us.

"Because we have company."

I turn around and gasp. There, hammer strapped to his back, wearing shorts and a t-shirt, stands Thor himself.

[[Kate's POV]]

Loki immediatly runs and jumps in the pool, surrounding himself in water. When he emerges, he is a completely different person.

Literally.

His hair is bright red, and he's about a foot shorter. He has freckles all over his face , and his skin is burned, but no longer pale. He looks about 12.

"Listen. I am Derek Trammel and I'm 12. You are... Babysitting me with your friend." Loki explains to me, and even Blake agrees in his panic.

"Hey, Mabry!" Thor calls, waving at me. Every single person there (they're aren't many, since it's a cold, cloudy day) stares at the god in awe. I nervously wave back, trying to keep both Blake and I from hyperventilating. I hear Loki mutter "Here we go" under his breath, and I can tell thet he's not going to enjoy what he's about to do.

Thor starts walking towards us, and Blake's eyes are as wide as saucers. When the blonde-headed god reaches us, his easygoing smile almost makes some girls swoon.

"What brings you here?" I ask nonchalantly, and Blake is just gaping. Luckily, that's what everyone else is doing, so it doesn't look suspicious.

"Just investigating on finding my brother." He replies in a low voice. "What about you?"

Blake (and everyone else there) is staring at me in shock. Probably wondering how I know Thor himself, the 'hottest' of the Avengers. I personally don't think so.

"Oh, I'm just babysitting Dereko here with my friend Blake. And I thought Mabry was doing that. You know, Stark was too busy, so his girlfriend, AKA my sister, came?"

Everyone's eyes widen even more, if that's possible. At least they know I'm not just a random girl.

"Oh, Mabry? The Man Made of Iron's maiden? She had to go back to New York for business. Ever since the Peppered One left, Stark has needed extra help with his company."

I smile nervously as he catches sight of Loki, AKA 'Derek'.

Thor studies him closely, and Loki puts on a very realistic wide-eyes face.

"You- You're Thor! THe god! Who helped s-save the Earth!" He stutters, blinking furiously. Thor's suspicious face turns into a modest smile. "Well, young man, that's me."

Loki turns toward me, his eyes still wide and his mouth in a gaping smile. "Kate! I knew your sister was Tony Starks girlfriend, but you didn't tell me you were friends with the Avengers!"

I put on a smile and ruffle the young 'Derek's' hair, really creeped out. "Well, I don't usually tell people. You know how it is."

Derek nods a wide-smiled nod and yammers on. "Yeah, but I'm meeting Thor- I'm- I'm talking to THOR! Omigod! C-Can I have your autograph?" Loki scrambles around, looking for a loose piece of paper.

Thor chuckles. "Actually, if it's all right with Kate here-" He smiles at me. "I'd like to do more than that."

I gulp, knowing what he was about to do. Blake and I exchange glances, and he gives me a tiny nod. I return it and smile back at the god of thunder. "Sure. As long as we can come!" I pretend to joke, being dead serious. "Of course. He answers. "Grab on."

We all put a hand on his hammer, both Blake and Loki looking very excited. I'm about to faint from worry.

"Here we go!" Thor shouts. There's a bright flash, and we're suddenly spinning. Faster and faster.

I squeeze my eyes shut.

Then, everything is still.

Absolutely still.
