~Tides Around Me~

~Asthenia~

"So, chocolate swirls are her favorite?" Lo and Fin asked Johnny. He nodded, putting the cherry on top.

"Yep. She told me when she first came here and we all went out to get icecream by the pool. She said she'd be to heavy to...surf..." he looked down. Lo sighed and laid a hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry Johnny! I'm sure she'll be able to surf again, but until than we must make her happy again! Right?" she asked him, smiling as she helped with all the chocolate swirl icecream cups.

***

"Emma?" Lo called as she opened the door, Johnny and Fin followed her into the girl's room. Emma was laying on the bed, holding a piece of her surfing board. Johnny looked at Lo, worried. "Emma?" Lo called again, coming closer. She held out the icecream. "Look what we got! Chocolate swirls! We know you can't resist them!"

Emma sighed. "...Not right now..." she rolled her head around to look out the window. She clutched the piece closer and pulled a thin blanket over herself. Johnny sighed.

"Come on, Emma! Chocolate swirl is your favorite." Johnny said, gathering his courage. Emma shook her head. "Please Emma?" she didn't answer. Johnny sighed. "Alright than....we'll put yours in the fridge. You can come down and-" he stopped himself before he finished. Unfortunately, Emma pulled the blanket closer and he swore he heard a sob. Lo and Fin took Johnny out with the icecream.

They shut the door. "I don't think its working." Fin muttered, crossing her arms. Lo rubbed her chin.

"There has to be something!" she hissed. Johnny shrugged.

"We could try to get her to come out to the movies...?"

"Perfect!" Lo grinned.

***

"Emma?" Lo called as she opened the door to the girl's room. "We're all heading out to the movies. We're gonna watch Red Velvet," she smiled. "Wanna come with?"

Emma shook her head. "No. I think I'll just stay and rest..."

"But-" Lo frowned. That's her favorite movie ever! She's really depressed... "Kay than, um, if you change your mind, the movie starts in a hour..." she closed the door and walked down stairs, disappointed. Everyone turned to her.

"Is she coming?"

"No. She's says she wants to rest..." Lo sighed, sitting down on a chair. "I thought that would work. Its her favorite movie." Broseph patted Lo's shoulder.

"We'll figure it out, ya just gotta stay positive. Right, brah?" he elbowed Ty, who nodded.

"Hey, Lo." Ty whispered pulling her closer with his arm, which he carelessly threw over her shoulders. "I'm sure," he went on to whisper. "that Emma will get happy soon. As Broseph stated, we just gotta stay on top. What else does Emma like?" I have to remember her name is Emma! No matter what! Ty thought. He knew he'd often - okay always! - forgot her name while sharing very, very, very small chats with her and he knew he should have taken more time to listen to her.
Lo sniffed, wiping tears back.

"Sure!" She smiled. "Emma loves lilies - white and pink ones. She likes to read-" she stopped when Johnny got up to answer the phone. He sighed and nodded three times.

"Alright, sir. We'll be over quickly, I promise." Johnny hung up. "Its Bummer. He said they have a huge problem down at the hotel and that he really needs us. We should hurry.." Johnny ran out the hurried after Johnny but Lo and Ty. He grabbed his sister's arm.

"What else does Emma like?" he asked, his light blue eyes shaded with the want to know more. Lo frowned.

"Why...?"

"I can try to make her happy while you guys are at work....can't I?" Ty asked, corking his eye brows at his little sister. She sighed and took a piece of paper, writing everything down on it.

"Don't do anything stupid, Ty!" she ran off to hurry after her friends.

***

"Okay...first things first!" Ty muttered as he read through the paper. The first thing was the movie, than the second was the chocolate swirl icecream. He scratched those out and read the next ones. It said "Colored, by Richard Kennitt.". Lo wrote down that Emma recently lost her copy to a angry raccoon. Ty smiled and hurried down to the markets.

He stopped a clerk. "Hey, I'm looking for a book called Colored. Its by-"

"I know who," the female clerk said sweetly. "Its one of the most popular out right now. So sweet. Its on isle three." Ty thanked her and found the book. He sighed. Might as well get whatever else I might need while I'm here...

Knock, knock, knock! Emma sighed as she looked over at the door. She reached for her crutches, but before she could stand, someone entered the room. It was Ty. Emma froze. W-what is Ty doing here? Emma tightened her grip on the handle to one of the crutches as he closed the door and smiled. "Emma."

He remembered my name... "Yes..?"

Ty sighed, itching his head as he looked at her legs. "I just want to say sorry..." she frowned. She didn't expect Ty in her room at all, but she didn't want him to remind her of her loss. She looked away, toward the window.

"...is that all?"

"No." Emma turned to look at his blue eyes, which were fierce. "I wanted to give you this..." he pulled out a red box with a yellow ribbon tied around it. He held it out to her. "Take it...please?" she nodded dully as she took it. She started at it, not looking up at him. Ty laughed. "Well, open it." he smiled when she quickly untied the ribbon and carefully put it aside as she opened the box. She dropped the lid. Inside the box was a brown leather book, with the words `Colored' on it. She felt like she was going to explode.

"You...got me this? Why?" she asked, watching him. Ty looked down at the book.

"I wanted you to feel better." he smiled at her and Emma felt her heart freeze. He...he wants me to feel better? She blinked.

"Why?" she asked.

"Because that's what...what I'm suppose to do! We're friends, right?" she sighed.

"I guess so..."

"So how about a movie? Or we could go to the-the..." he froze. He was about to say beach, but he bit his lip. He was thankful he didn't slip like Johnny had earlier. "we could go Sunset Terrance."

Emma smiled. "Really?" why would he want to go there? With me? Ty nodded.

"Sure! Are you going to come or not?" he made a charming smile and she felt her heart do backflips.

"Of course!" she tried to stand and remembered her crutches. Oh...that's right. Well, at least Ty asked me someplace... "Can I get dressed first?" Ty blushed.

"Oh, yeah, sure. Um...I'll be back later?" he left the room and sighed when he was in the halls. I hope this works...

"Whaa?!" Reef crossed his arms. "No way am I going to watch them!" Reef and Johnny were brought into the DR by Bummer while he sent Lo, Fin and Broseph off to clean the pool. Bummer told Reef he was to watch the twins and that Johnny was suppose to watch the a little weird girl. Andrew paused.

"Wait...where is Emma?"

Reef looked over at Johnny. "Well, sir," Johnny began. "I can't believe you didn't hear. Emma had a accident and couldn't come to work."

"What kind?" he asked, as if they would lie for her. Johnny sighed.

"She was surfing and fell; she broke her legs - which might be permanent - and her hands were badly injured as well..." Bummer looked a little convinced by Johnny's face.

"Hmm...well, fine! How does she plan on staying if she can't work though? I mean, I feel bad for her-" Johnny and Reef gasped. Feel bad?! Reef thought. Must not really be Bummer. "But, seriously, how does she expect to stay at B.C? The money costs alone are too high as it is now..."

"Well, maybe if she can heal better she can get a not-so-walking needed job here at the Resort." Reef pointed out, itching his head. Johnny smiled.

"That's a wonderful idea, Reef! For once you can actual help!" Bummer laughed. Well, at least its a way she could stay here...I still haven't told her how I feel. But how can I - he thought as he hurried to the strange little girl named Kathy - if she's heart taken by Ty? Why couldn't I be tough and as cool as he is...maybe than she'd notice me...

***

"Well, we're here." Ty muttered as they stopped in front of the theater. Kahuna smiled and waved at them.

"Over here, kiddos!" Ty asked if Emma wanted help but she shook her head.

"No...no, I'm fine. Thank you." Ty got the tickets and bought some popcorn. Please don't let this end badly...

They sat down at the movies and began to watch the movie Ty picked out for the special occasion. It was called "Golden Sunset" which he knew from how Lo spelled it, was a romance movie. He tried to hide the blush on his face by looking away and rubbing his chin. Emma heard the music start up and gazed at the golden-sun-setty words. She blushed. Ty brought me...to a romance movie?! Than....than he likes me? Oooh! I hope so!

As the movie drifted on and on, Emma began to wonder if he was going to try and take her hand or maybe put his arm around her. Oh, how she hoped. When the movie was getting toward the end, Ty became really stiff, as if he knew what was going to happen in the movie and didn't want to hurt Emma by giving her false advances toward her. He hoped she would realize that it was just a friendly date, not a date-date.

The movie ended and Ty saw the slight confusion on Emma's face.
I don't get it...why did he take me here if he doesn't like me? M-maybe he's shy...? Huh...Emma smiled at him when he looked over at her. "Come on, one more place to go!" he helped her up the steps and outside of the theater.

Ty took Emma to the Sunset Terrance and helped her up the dirt stairs. When they made it to the top, the sun made a golden glaze over the whole hill and the ocean in front of them. Emma smiled and made her way over to the edge and gazed out at the ocean and the beautiful scenery. "Its so beautiful..." she was awed. Ty swallowed, hesitating.

"..N-Not as beautiful as you..." Emma turned to him, startled.

"What did you say?" she whispered as she searched his eyes. He smiled, weakly.

"I..um, said not as beautiful as you."

"I know. But...why?"

"B-because..." Ty, you idiot! You got yourself into something you can't get out of! What the hell were you thinking! "because...I...like you?" he almost swore when he came out as a question. She paused and sighed, looking away. Oh...I get it now. He doesn't like me, he pities me for what happened. He's been dragging me about, trying to fool me into something he doesn't even want. She laughed, silently. I've fooled myself thinking it could happen. I'm such an idiot! God!
Ty noticed her silence and called her name. "Emma?"

She frowned. "Don't you mean Ella?" he stepped back. "why did you do this to me?"

Ty sighed, rubbing his arm. "I...was trying to make you feel better-"

"By fooling me into something?" he swallowed. Coming from her, it sounded so wrong.

"I'm sorry, Emma-"

"Its okay...I just want to go back home."

"Alright, I'll walk you."

"No." she spat. "My real home!" she started off without him. He was stunned at the vile in her tone. Never has he ever heard her use such a tone...than again, he hardly payed attention to her before. Ty gripped his hands. Crap! They will all kill me for this! Why did I have to screw this up?! I couldn't even make one girl happy...

***

Lo sighed as she entered the house before the others, who went straight to the beach to surf. She didn't get it, how could they swim and surf knowing Emma can't? Didn't they care for at all? Lo sat down and sighed, about to lay down from a hard day's work when the door opened and Emma entered. Lo smiled, sweetly. "Emma?! How was your day?" she asked, seeing the light yellow dress on her. Emma gave her a angry look.

"Horrible." was her only word as she headed up the stairs and into their room. Lo growled. Ty!

Well, how was it? This was a (sorta) Ty/Emma. I plan on making another Ty/Emma chapter as well Johnny/Emma, because its both. But, whoever she ends up will stay a secret for right now!

Please review!
