Bose laid stomach down on his bed, mad at himself for what he did earlier. His pillow was saturated with his tears. He felt like he ruined everything. His friendships. His career as Brainstorm. All because of this one thing he did.
1 hour earlier...
With the help of Big Dynomite, Danger Force has defeated the cell. It took them a while, but it happened. They transformed back to their normal selves as they entered the Man's Nest.
Chapa: AND THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE!
The twins hyped her up, and they were celebrating a lot. Ray and Buddy had their father/son moment, Chapa and Miles decided to get a party going, and Mika decided to help them. Schwoz also joined in on the fun, but there was only one person who wasn't celebrating.
Bose did a lot against the cell, but even then, he still wasn't happy. Why? Because of Mika.
She changed. She seems to not laugh at his jokes, she seems to avoid him a bit more...she hasn't even been showing up for Dog Bachelor. Guys would attempt to hook up with her so she could help them with a quiz or test or something so they don't flunk. For being so smart, Mika seems to have fallen for the boys' charms a lot.
Of course, Bose would have girls swarm him, but he didn't want to go out with any of them. The festival was a one time thing. He gave hints here and there that he likes Mika, but she's too blind to see it.
Right now, Bose is sitting on the couch, and he was watching everyone party. He just drank a brightly colored soda, sitting there, feeling down. Once he finished the soda, he threw the bottle away, waited 5 minutes, and decided to leave without warning.
Chapa: So Mika, I see you're with...another guy.
Mika shouldn't be easily manipulated like this, but something's dragging her to the guys. Maybe it's the way they flirt with her. Anyway, once Bose heard that, he clenched his fists and turned his head around.
Mika: Yeah, I know the past few guys haven't worked out, but I'm telling you, this is the one.
Miles: Which is what you said about the past five guys.
Mika rolled her eyes.
Mika: So what?
Buddy: You don't think they're using you?
Mika: Of course not!
Bose only got more angry. How could she not see!
Mika: Look, maybe they're misunderstood! Maybe they just want to hang out with me!
Chapa: I doubt it. I only think there's one guy who genuinely loves you.
Miles: I agree with Chapa, sis. There's really one person that's destined to be with you.
Mika: You're right. It may take me a while to find him, but once I-
Chapa and Miles: [in annoyance] OH MY GOD!
Mika: What?
Suddenly, the couch flew towards the speaker, destroying it, killing the vibe of the party, and leaving everyone, even Chapa, shocked. They looked towards Bose. He. Was. Fuming. After he saw everyone's shock faces, his furious expression turned into a scared one. What did he just do? He ran out of the Man's Nest, leaving everyone there.
Ray: What's his problem?
Chapa: Oh gee, I wonder.
She looked at Mika, who gave Chapa a confused face.
Mika: What?
She saw everyone (except Ray) looking at her, and she assumed everyone thought she had a crush on Bose.
Mika: Seriously? I am not in love with Bose!
Except she is. Yes, these guys used her, but she also used them as a distraction in fear that Bose would reject her if she asked him out.
Chapa: Stop.
Mika was about to say something, but she could tell by the look on her face that Chapa isn't teasing anymore; she's being serious. Everyone is. Well, except Buddy, who looked concerned.
Miles: We aren't talking about you being in love with Bose; we're talking about BOSE being in love with YOU.
Mika stopped breathing. Was it always that obvious?
Buddy: I'm sorry Mika, but the signs were obvious.
Mika hunched over, and Chapa caught her. She picked her up, only to see tears streaming down her face. Chapa hugged Mika and she let it out. She held her feelings back for nothing. She felt lightheaded.
Mika: You're right... You've always been right... I'm...sorry...
She fainted.
Miles: Mika? MIKA!
He ran to her and teleported her and Schwoz to the infirmary. Schwoz checked on her, and thankfully, she's okay. She'll just be out for another hour.
The hour has passed, and Bose was still sobbing on his pillow. He raged in front of Mika, throwing the couch and ruining the party. How could Mika like him now? He felt so hateful about himself, he's close to losing the will to live. A world without Mika is not but a pit of rottenness, and he felt that it's just better to get it over with. He laid on his back...he ran out of tears. He closed his eyes, wishing the day away. Maybe a new calling will come for him.
About 15 minutes later, he felt a hand on his shoulder. This touch warmed up his heart, and only two people are allowed to do that. One is his mother, and the other is Mika...who is the one who has her hand on his shoulder. He opened his eyes, meeting with Mika's.
Mika: Bose...
Mika started to tear up. She laid on Bose, wrapped her arms around him, and cried into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her, patting her back.
Mika: I'm so sorry!
Bose: It's okay. I understand why you wouldn't be interested in me. I'm not worth the dirt in your shoes.
Mika: NO!
Mika cried even harder.
Mika: DON'T EVER SAY THAT AGAIN! YOU'RE WORTH EVERYTHING!
That was all she could get out through her crying. Bose held on to her, making sure she didn't fall from on top of him, but the good news is, even if he did, she'd just fall on the soft, cozy Texas King mattress. He let her get it out, and seeing Mika like this made him tear up again. Once she lifted her head, she pulled herself so her face was only six inches away from his.
Mika: I screwed up. The signs were obvious, and I ignored them. You helped me become a more caring person; you helped bring out a more positive side of me; you protected me, yet, I was too blind. I let Swellview Junior High and the 90 days of separation change me. Bose, don't ever talk about yourself with hatred again. You are the brightest person in this town, and even though you may not be the smartest, you have every other good quality, especially caring, loving...I love you Bose, and you don't deserve anything less than love.
Bose couldn't say a word. The girl he loved for two years now finally admitted her feelings to him. He hugged her tight, not wanting to let go ever again. He ended up bringing her down so she laid on her side. Mika giggled. Her Bosey had her in his grasp, and, even though it's tight, it's still the best feeling she has ever felt.
Bose: I love you too.
Bose's hand made its way up to her hair and he started caressing it. Usually, Mika doesn't like it when people touch her hair, but she can make an exception for Bose. She actually likes the way he strokes it.
She turned her head around and kissed Bose on the cheek. She actually never kissed any of the boys that flirted with her, nor did they kiss her, and she's glad Bose will be her first kiss, and, hopefully after a trillion more kisses, her last. She didn't want to give Bose up, nor did he want to give her up.
Bose stopped caressing her hair and put his hand on the back of her head.
Bose: You didn't kiss any of the boys, did you?
Mika: I'm glad I didn't.
Bose smiled. He is Mika's first kiss. He leaned in, and it wasn't long until their lips crashed on each other. They laid there, hoping they can kiss the night away.
Unfortunately, Mika's phone rang, and she got mad. It was her mom, so she had to answer it.
Mika: Hi Mom.
Angela: Mika, where are you?
Mika: I'm spending the night at Bose's.
Angela: Oh. Okay. I'll see you tomorrow sweetie.
Mika: See ya!
Angela hung up and called Alejandra out of instinct.
Alejandra: Hey Angela, what's up?
Angela: Send Chapa to Bose's house. I can't have my daughter alone with him.
Alejandra: Okay. I'll make sure she gets the memo.
Angela: Good. Also, you want to hang out sometime?
Alejandra: I guess I can use a break... Sure.
Angela: Alright, I'll talk to you later.
Alejandra: See ya!
Angela hung up and called Miles.
Miles teleported the couch back to where it was while Schwoz ordered a new speaker. Right now, they, Chapa, Ray, and Buddy are hanging out in the Man's Nest. They told Buddy about their previous adventures. Ray actually let them go first before he explained his long ass backstory and all the good times he had with Henry. Just then, they heard two phones go off at the same time. Miles and Chapa checked theirs, and it's their moms. They looked at each other before answering.
Miles and Chapa: Hey Mom, what's up?
Angela and Alejandra: Mika invited you to a sleepover at Bose's house. You can come pick up your pajamas, toothbrush, and toothpaste.
Miles and Chapa: Okay. Bye.
They hung up.
Miles and Chapa: [to each other] Did your mom say Mika invited you to a sleepover? Yes.
Chapa: Why?
Miles: Probably because mom is still traumatized by the fake kiss between Mika and Bose.
Chapa thought about it, and it hit her; Mika confessed. There's no way she didn't, especially after what happened over an hour ago.
Chapa: You know, I'm starting to think she did it.
Miles: Same.
Chapa: So...are we going?
Miles then got a call from Mika.
Miles: Hey sis.
Mika: Did Mom tell you and Chapa that I invited you and Chapa to a sleepover?
Miles opened his eyes in shock.
Miles: HOW!? HOW DID YOU KNOW!?
Mika: Because Mom didn't like it when Bose and I got touchy during our fake kiss and I knew she wouldn't trust us alone.
Miles was impressed. His twin sister truly is one of the smartest people on the planet.
Mika: I'll tell you what. This place has four extra bedrooms. If you two want to come over, you can, but I want some alone time with my Bosey, okay?
Chapa did a little celebration. She finally did it.
Bose: Oh, and Buddy is also invited.
Miles: Alright, we'll be there.
Mika: Alright!
She hung up.
Miles: [to Buddy] You in?
Buddy: Sure!
He and Chapa surrounded Miles and he made stops so they could get their pajamas before going to Bose's. While he was at it, Miles grabbed a pink onesie for Mika, also grabbing her toothbrush and toothpaste. Buddy also asked his mom, Credenza, if he could sleep over with his new friends, and she accepted. Chapa took Guest Room 2, Miles took 3, and Buddy took 4.
Miles knocked on Bose's bedroom door, and Mika answered it.
Miles: I'm just going to give you these. We'll leave you two alone. Goodnight sis.
Mika: Goodnight Miles.
He left them, and Mika went to the bathroom to change and brush her teeth. When she got back, she saw Bose in a purple onesie. They smiled.
Mika: You going to brush your teeth?
Bose: Yeah.
Bose went to the bathroom to do so. Mika crawled under the covers.
Mika: You finally did it, Macklin. You're dating the sweetest boy in the world.
Not once did she see him as the vice mayor's stepson. He is, but he's much more than that, and Mika's dating him for the more side of him.
Then she remembered...Chapa. She's been onto them for a long time, and she's never going to let them hear the end of it.
Mika: You know what? I'd rather deal with Chapa than admit my feelings too late.
She knew she would've changed to a boring Mika Macklin. She knew she wouldn't have a better life. Her life's meaning before was being better than everyone else. Bose finally opened the doors for her; she's free. Not from his grasp, but she can actually breathe.
Bose came back.
Mika: You do know Chapa's going to cheer us on, right?
Bose: Yeah.
Bose joined Mika under the covers and they restarted their smooch fest, wrapping their arms around each other. The couple was always affectionate with each other, and now they can finally kiss each other without it being awkward. They didn't care what Angela thinks about it; Mika knows Bose is the sweetest person she's ever met, and nothing can change her mind. She's his, and he's hers, and no one can say otherwise, and they knew Chapa wouldn't. Who knows? She could be their future sister.
