Ch 22

The team were still at the juice bar when Tim, Ben and Toby came running in.

"Guys what's wrong." Billy asked. "And wheres Michelle and Anthony."

"We were attacked by those gray things, and well we kind split up, but I think Anthony and her ran towered the lake." Ben told him.

"Come guy we better go see if their ok." Jason said heading for the door.

"You three stay here." Trini told the boys. "The five of us will go find them."

The five of then ran out of the building and started towards the park.

They got half way there when they saw Anthony coming towards them with Michelle in his arms.

"Michelle." Billy yelled running over.

"She okay she just kind of fell a sleep." Anthony told them. "Right after we finished fighting those gray things, and a golden monkey."

"She must have used allot of energy up." Jason said as Billy took her from Anthony.

"I'll get her home see you guys tomorrow." Billy nodded.

"Oh tell her we'll talk about what the five of us are doing about her birthday, tomorrow at the youth center." Anthony waved before running off to join friends.

"I guess started to make her own plans for her birthday." Zack shrugged.

"See you guys later." Billy said shifting Michelle's.

Billy looked down at the sleeping girl in his arms. Michelle was such a little girl for now, but when she turned twelve he couldn't think about it. The main thing that scared him was Anthony, and how he might end up taking something that as Billy felt his part in her heart. He knew inside him that he would lose her to him.

"Billy where's slimmer," Michelle muttered in her sleep. "Don't let him get turned into jam."

"What" Billy laughed looking down at her.

"Don't let him get turned to jam." She whined in her sleep.

"Ok Michelle I won't" Billy smiled as he turned on to to their street. Michelle must have been having some weird dream.

"Bad gold monkey, now say sorry to slimmer."

"Its ok the gold monkey hasn't hurt slimmer."

"Thank you Anthony," Michelle muttered. "Slimmer will love the melt birthday cake you made him to eat."

Billy face froze and he looked down at Michelle.

"Anthony your the best in the class except for me."

Billy stopped in his tracks.

"Billy I love you your the best older brother a girl not related to can have." Michelle had a small smile

Billy smiled and walked over up his drive. Then he came to a problem he couldn't get to his key.

"Hello Billy." His dad said opening the door from the inside. "You better go put her in her room."

Billy nodded as he walked into the house and down the hallway.

"Dad can you grab her door for me." Billy called back down the hallway.

His dad shock his head as he went to open the door for him. "She used up allot of energy to day." He guessed pushing the door open for her.

"I don't get how she can just completely collapses like that." Billy said as he put her on her bed.

"Here put Slimmer next to her." His Dad said passing him Slimmer.

Billy slipped Slimmer under the covers with her. Then he and his Dad left the room.

"Dad Michelle's starting no notice boys, I think." Billy told him as they walked into the kitchen.

"Well she is at that age well, almost."

"But Dad, what are we going to do."

"Trust her judgment, she's smart kid."

"Yes Dad, we both know that."

"Not that way, she has good sense, no experiment done could give any one that."

"How can you be so calm."

"Because I survived when you discovered girls or that one girl from the science fair."

"Dad be quiet I haven't seen her in years." Billy said turning and walking to his room.
