While Jayden, Lauren, Antonio and Kevin dealt with the last persons who would seem to have interests with Power Rangers, Mia stopped to rest and to put Emily down.
In her mind, the yellow ranger still had Mike and those girls teasing and laughing and some –if she wasn't wrong- flirting on him. She had no idea what to think but was sure not to think easily. One girl had come to Mike and kissed him, though it was a kiss in the cheek if it weren't for the other girls pulling him, it would be in his lips.
That was when she heard footsteps just behind and someone calling her desperately.
"Emily! Emily! Please…it wasn't what you're thinking"
Emily limited to ignore her fiancé. Mike ran to her and stopped, grabbing her by the shoulders but she pulled apart and spun around.
"Emily please"
"Leave me alone Mike"
"But Em I…"
"Get lost!"
Mike walked to be face to face with Emily. "Em I…"
"I don't want to talk to you" It was Emily's last words and grabbed Mia by the arm and walked away with her.
"Damn it" Mike muttered and followed them.
He knew something had happened to Emily and he knew what it was. He didn't know Emily was that jealous but he didn't want to know how much she could be.
When he reached the girls he just walked with them. If he continued pushing Emily to talk, things might be worst. So when they stopped in the shadow of a tree he was swinging back and forth. Emily in his dreams was watching him and Mia seemed to be as pissed as Emily.
When the yellow ranger gestured and rubbed her stomach gently, Mike turned to her and asked
"Em, are okay? are you thirsty? You want some water?"
"No"
"Em, you want some water?" Mia asked, since she did not hear what Mike said and had seen in the distance a person selling bottles of water.
"Yes, please Mia"
Mike's jaw dropped and saw how Mia was in search of water. But instead of following her and offering him the one to look for it, he turned to Emily and took her by the shoulders that, naturally, she shook off so that Mike let her go.
"Emily, please, what do you have?"
"Nothing" She grunted
"Em, c'mon"
"Nothing, Mike"
"Is it by what happened, isn't it?"
"Then you know what you did!"
"I didn't do anything!"
"But you get nervous"
Mike walked to see her in the face. "Please Emily forgive me if I did something wrong"
"No"
"Please…"
"No"
"Please"
"No!"
"C'mon Em,please…"
"Ok"
"Really?!"
"No!"
"AH! I did nothing. That crazy girl…I don't know what's in her head!"
"It seems there are many fanatics behind you"
"But I don't care. She told me I had saved her life, don't even remember it. I don't care, Emily. I swear. Tell me what I have to do to satisfy you"
"They are not my friends Emily" Mike ducked his head. He gave a sigh and looked up again. "Ok, ok. We will start this again. You are my fiancé, right?"
"I think so" Emily shrugged
"Yes, you are" Mike confirmed "We're going to have a baby. How can you imagine I… I can do that to you? It's impossible. As soon as that girl kissed me I pulled her away"
"But you gave her the thanks!"
"Just to be nice, I swear! Look, if you want me not be so, I swear the next person who gives me a kiss will be slap. You just have to say it"
Emily sighed and shook her head. She was angry at Mike but she didn't want anyone was slap. She was sure Mike never tried to cheat on her and never mind when both were expecting their first child. But the moment hadn't been the best and Emily only wanted to protect them…"I don't know"
Mike dared to hug her and didn't care if there were cameras recording all the time. He knew it would perhaps raise a revolt by speculations that could occur, but that didn't stop him to give his fiancé a kiss on the forehead.
"Don't you think I also got worried when other men approached you and tried to hug you and all those things? Don't think that I was worried that someone else will take your heart? Or that you saw another boy in all those people?..."
"Don't be silly Mike" The yellow samurai shook her head "That never will happen"
"Not even with me. And you know why?
"Because I have an immense faith to you, and know that you would not be capable of doing something like that to me. I Trust, that although there are thousands of boys in swim suits, you wouldn't have eyes for anybody more than me"
Emily slapped Mike's chest as a foolery. "How can you say that?"
"Am I wrong?"
"No" she shook her head "Well…"
"Emily…"
"Just kidding" Emily chuckled " But you're right. I couldn't see another Mike. I guess it was just a misunderstanding"
"That girl did give me a kiss, but I never felt anything"
Emily smiled and stepped on her tip-toes and gave Mike a kiss on the cheek "Did you feel something?"
"I don't have to give you a slap for that"
Lauren, Antonio and Jayden had been found after a time of being separated by different crowds, but now the Park seemed at peace.
Children had returned happy to the games after having known the Power Rangers from their city and nothing could erase the smile from their faces. Even one that to another adult looked like a child the moment they met Samurais.
Although they were still persons patrolling curious of the following steps of the team, at least they were not already thrown to ask for a photo or another thing. The things had already calmed down and it was a much easier gait walking. Antonio and Jayden almost forgot what was to walk without any worry.
"Look, there are the others" Lauren said when she saw Mike, Emily, Mia and Kevin. They seemed to be looking for them because Kevin noted them also when he saw Lauren.
Jayden agreed and walked towards them with the others, but Antonio instead of following them went in another place.
"Antonio, are you coming?" Jayden asked him
"Uh…I'll be with you in a minute"
He made his way far and walked away. Lauren shrugged her shoulders but walked with her brother to the others.
"S guys, how it was?" The Red Ranger said with enthusiasm. It was time to finally celebrate with their friends.
"Better we should talk about this somewhere else, don't you think?" The Blue Ranger looked around "I don't want to witness another outbreak of hysteria"
"Then where are we going?"
"Why don't go the bakery shop?" Emily suggested "It's been a while we don't stop by, and to be honest, I want a delicious cupcake or pie!"
"But I already made pies in the house, Em" Mia frowned "you're not insatiable?"
"Yes, the strawberry and peach pies. How to forget them..."
"I am sure that Lauren will want, right?" Mike interrupted "and after there, we can go to the beach! Come on guys, finally we got out of this hell, let's enjoy"
Lauren smiled as a kid and took the arm of Jayden enthusiastic "Oh yeah, that would be great, Jayden. I have never gone to the sea and I haven't tested the pies and cupcakes, well no more than the delights Mia makes, but I want to try those Emily said, c'mon Jayden, yes, we are going, yes?"
Jayden chuckled but nodded his head "Ok but I'll tell Antonio where we are going"
"Where's Antonio?" Mia asked
"He wanted to do something, I guess. I don't know what exactly"
"So let's call him" The green ranger took out his samuraizer but Kevin snatched it from his hands and shot him a glare.
"Mike, are you crazy? If people see you, would turn into beasts!"
Lauren agreed "And we barely managed to calm them down!"
"Sorry, sorry...I'll hide it" Mike put back his samuraizer on his pocket "We can talk him farer than here, I think"
"Yeah, c'mon let's go!" Lauren ordered her team excitedly.
