KawaiiGameFreak: Hello, guess wa? SCHOOL'S OUT! W00T W00T! TOGA PARTY! BREAK OUT THE CHEZZES AND COKE...anyway…this chapter's gonna be a bit more romance then humor cuz of the bizarre, strange and slightly screwed up pairing mentioned in the last chapter. Don't worry, there will be humor though, it's not like I'd abandon humor all together.

Chapter 5: Thunders' First Date

THUNDERS' POV

I raced home that afternoon after school to get some advice about going to the dance with Mica. Mew decided to take the bus home, but she went on the wrong bus and she came home an hour late. She stomped inside looking very angry. To make matters worse, it was raining, and Mew hated getting wet."Why didn't you just teleport home instead of walking home?" She just glared at me and shifted back into her real form.

"Because when in human form, my powers are hindered, meaning I can't teleport. You wanna change back to?" I shook my head. She gave me a puzzled look, then she figured it out."Ohh, let me guess…something to do with that girl you were talking to at recess?" I nodded, blushing slightly. "I heard your conversation after the fight outside…looks like you got yourself a date Thunders, not bad, not bad at all. But let me guess, you don't know the first thing about human girls, do you?" I shook my head. "Figures, being trapped on an island doesn't give you much chance to find anything out. I'm not too familiar with the human girls around here, if you want some advice, why don't you ask a local?"

"Of course!" I thought. "Why didn't I think of that before?"

"Because you're stupid." I hated it when Mew read my mind, it was annoying. I ignored her and went upstairs to Laura's room. It had lost of warning signs like "beware of bad attitude", "entry may cause brain damage." and "no entry between now and the end of time." I cautiously knocked on the door and got a shout of "I'm doing homework! Frig of!" in response.

"It's me, Thunders, can I come in?"

"No!"

"Well can I ask you something?" A long silence followed.

"Fine, whadaya want?"

"Well there's this girl…"

"Hold up!" She quickly opened the door and dragged me inside her room. It looked a lot like her old room, but bigger and messier. "Now let me get this straight, you want me, to give you advice, about a girl?"

"Wha? How'd you know all that?"

"Trust me, I know these things. Now let me ask you some questions. Is she a human girl?" I nodded, but wondered what kind of stupid question that was."Ok, righty then. Did you tell her you're an electrically charged hamster yet?" That made my blood run cold. What would happen if and when I tell her I'm not human? Will she still like me? Maybe she won't ever want to see me again. Maybe she'll think I'm a freak. "That could be a problem. No worries though, if she really likes you, she'll like you for who you really are." Laura was right. She does like me, she even saw me use my powers and she never thought I was a freak, but different, in a good way. She likes me for who I am, not just for my looks…I think. I don't even know much about her really. I just met Mica today, and yet, I like her as if I'd known her forever. "…did that sound as cheesy as I thought it did?"

"Cheeser."

7 O'CLOCK THAT NIGHT

ST. NICOLES ELEMENTARY

Mica told me to wait by the school at seven, so I was right on time, I didn't want to be late. I was wearing a t-shirt and jeans because Mica had said that it was a semiformal dance, so I didn't need to wear a tux or anything too fancy. I even brought a red rose and a heart shaped box of Skittles, I knew Mica loved Skittles. Lots of people walked past me into the gym, most of them without a date. I thought the whole point of dances was to go with someone. Maybe these people are hoping to get someone to dance with once they get inside. Suddenly, Mica arrived. She was wearing a long bright blue skirt, a blue dress shirt, blue bows tied her pigtails and a rainbow colored necklace hung from her neck. She looked dazzling. "Hi Thunders!" She ran up to me and hugged me tight, but careful not to damage her gifts. "Omigosh! You brought me a flower…and Skittles? You're really nice, you know that? Of course you know, how could you not know how nice you are? Sorry about that, remind me to get a leash for my brain so it'll stop wondering off like that." She put the rose behind her ear (I cut the thorns off so she wouldn't hurt herself)and put the box of Skittles in my pocket as we walked into the gym. There was loud music and lots of multi colored lights. Balloons and streamers hung from the ceiling as most people were backed up against the wall talking, boys on one side and girls on the other. "Typical dance." Mica muttered. "People come to get dates and yet they never talk to the opposite gender, kinda stupid huh?" I just smiled and nodded. I was still nervous about the whole thing, but I tried not to let it show, I didn't want to worry her. "Oh well, the music's not right for dancing now anyway, why don't you get some snacks? Look, the table's right over there." She pointed to a large table with assortments of chips, drink, cookies and other party foods. I walked over. I wanted to run over, but I wanted Mica to think I was somewhat normal. Then of course, how normal could an 'electrically charged hamster' be? There were a few scattered people getting food, I guess trying to avoid each other. I went to get the punch, and that's when it all started.

I went to the punch bowl, but I tripped and grabbed on to the table cloth, which made the punch bowl go flying and hit a random boy, which made him very mad, so he tried to hit me with a cupcake, but I ducked and the cupcake hit another random boy, which made him very mad, so he threw a glass of punch at the first boy, but he ducked and the glass hit a random girl, spilling punch on her shirt, which made her very mad, then it got worse. The random girl stopped, the music stopped, everyone stopped and an announcement was made. "FOOD FIGHT!" The music changed to a wicked techno song and everyone started throwing food and drink at each other. Not a single person was without a smear of icing or stain of punch on them. Someone even threw some cupcakes into the ceiling fan, making icing fly everywhere.Mica and I joined in, throwing cookies at everyone and having the time of our lives. Then a teacher came into the gym and yelled at everyone with a megaphone.

"This is your principal speaking! If you do not stop this childish behavior I will be forced to use…" His speech was interrupted by a cookie in the face. "…drastic measures…hu…why do I even bother?" He walked out of the room and everyone went back to their business of fighting with food. Mica high-fived me.

"Nice aim Thunders! You got a clean shot at the principal! You're awesome!" She kissed me on the cheek and I ultra blushed. It took a while, but eventually the food fight stopped, mainly because we ran out of food to throw. Then we got cleaned up and the music changed again. This time, it was slower and softer then before. "Ohmigosh I love this song!" Mica squealed. "You wanna dance?" This was what I'd been waiting for all night, I'd get to dance with Mica, but there was still one problem.

"Um, I don't know how to dance." She just giggled playfully and took my hand.

"Aw come on, I'll show you, not that I'm a good dancer myself but I'll try." She dragged me onto the empty dance floor, which was still covered with the remains of food,and the words to the song began.

When the night won't fall, and the sun won't rise
And you see the best, when you close your eyes
When you reach the top, as you bottom out
But you understand, what it's all about

Everyone was looking at us funny. I guess it was because we were the only ones dancing, but I wasn't very good. We kept stepping on each other's toes. "Sorry Mica, I'm not very good."

"Like I said before, neither am I, now let's just dance, ok?"

Nothing's ever what it seems
In your life or in your dreams
It don't make sense what can you do
So I won't try making sense of you

Love just is, whatever it maybe
Love just is, for you and me
Nothing less, and nothing more
I don't know what I love you for
Love just is…

After a bit, some other couples came out and started dancing, though I wasn't really paying attention. My eyes were fixed on Mica's, not daring to look away. The multi coloredlights made her whole body glow, giving her the apperance of an angel.

When you ask to stay, and then disappear
It seems you're gone, but you're really here
When every move, seems out of place
But every kiss, is filled with grace

Some things never get defined
In your heart or in your mind
It don't make sense what can you do
So I won't try making sense of you

Love just is, whatever it maybe
Love just is, for you and me
Nothing less, and nothing more
I don't know what I love you for
Love just is…

Don't ever ask me for reasons
I can't get to you
Don't ever ask me for reasons
Why I live for you…I just do

"Hey Thunders." She whispered softy in my ear. "Guess what? I like you lots." I was hoping she'd say something else, but it was still ok.

"Guess what? I like you lots to." She hugged me tighter as nearly everyone was watching us. Why was it so weird that we were dancing together? Then I thought "Me and Mica…together…" My mind wondered of into parts unknown was a spotlight fell down on us. "We must be special." What I meant to say was, "You must be special."

Nothing's ever what is seems
In your life or in your dreams
It don't make sense what can you do
So I won't try making sense of you

Love just is, whatever it maybe
Love just is, for you and me
Nothing less, and nothing more
I don't know what I love you for
Love just is…

Love just is…

The song stopped and everyone went back to their sides of the gym, except me and Mica. We ran outside into the clear night. "That was really fun, we should do that again sometime." We walked back to Laura's house; she insisted that I went home first, because 'my' house was closer to the school. I was hoping I'd get to walk her home. We stopped by the front door. "I had a wicked time." Then I got worried again. I still haven't told her who I really was. I have to. I don't want to pretend anymore. "What's wrong? You look sad."

"I'm sorry; it's just that…I lied."

"About what?"

"…about, everything…"

"You don't like me?" I could tell she was on the verge of tears.

"No! Of course I like you. Why wouldn't I? That's not what I meant. You see…how do I explain this? I'm not…human." She gave me a funny look. "Didn't you question my speed, or the fact that I can control electricity, or that my name wasn't a human name, didn't you think that was a little off from what normal people are like?"

"I just thought you were special. Besides, if you're not a person, what are you?"

"I'm a…hold on a second." I rushed into the house and found Mew sleeping on the sofa.

"This better be good or I'll do terrible things to you with a cheese grater." I explained what was going on to her. "Ok, gotcha." She floated beside me and I came out to Mica.

"Neato! What is that? It's cute."

"This is Mew. Mew, this is Mica. Now that that's done, Mew…change me back." She nodded and focused. A bright light engulfed me and I felt my body shrinking. Soon, I was back to my normal self. I poked my head out of the pile of clothes and looked up at Mica, who looked completely freaked out. I felt so small now. "Well, this is who I really am…" She looked confused. "Right, humans can't understand our language. Mew, a little help please?" Mew nodded and this time a bright light surrounded Mica. "What are you doing to her?" The light faded and Mica looked…perfectly normal? "What was the point of that?"

"Cool, now I know what you're saying, thanks Mew." Now she didn't seem the slightest bit weirded out. What was up with that girl? One minute she's freaked, the next she's acting like this whole thing's run of the mill. "Woh, I didn't think you could get cuter Thunders." She picked me up and held me close. "I guess I should've known you were a pikachu." I gave her a started look.

"How do you know what I am?"

"I've never plated the games before, but just about everyone knows what a pikachu is. Anyways, as I was saying, why did you pretend to be a person? You never had to. I guess other people might have freaked out, but I wouldn't."

"You mean…you don't care that I'm not a person?"

"Nope! I like you just the way you are."

"Oh gag me with a spoon. I'm outta here." Mew floated back inside, probably back to sleep on the sofa. Now back to Mica.

"Where was I again? Oh ya…" She started to sound nervous. "Not to go all mushy on you or anything but, you're the only guy who doesn't think I'm a total loony. You're sweet and caring and…well...I know we haven't known each other that long but…I like you…I mean...I…I…I…oh flip it! I love you Thunders!" In a blink of an eye, her lips were pressed against mine and all doubt and worry faded. There's really no way to describe a first kiss. Amazing, wonderful, beautiful, these words can't even express half of what that kiss felt like. After a moment, she slowly pulled away. I didn't want her to, but we needed to breathe. It felt like we spent an eternity just looking into each others' eyes. I finally broke the silence.

"I…love you to Mica." I couldn't really get a good grip on reality. I was still in "Omigod she loves me!" mode. So much so that I didn't notice a rustling in the bushes by the front porch. All I saw was a camera with the words "I'm Gonna Sell This on eBay" on the side in crayon.

KawaiiGameFreak: I apologize for any therapy needed after reading this chapter. I did warn you though. I might update more as I have nothing better to do over the summer months, but no promises. Ja ne!
