Together, We Are A Family

Teasing, Fainting & Truths

Hola my Hunnies! So sorry for not posting the chapter in the previous weeks. I was tired and I am getting busier and more tired every day. So I truly apologize. Here's the next chapter to the book and I think you'll like it. It's funny to me. 😆 Enjoy!

----------------------------------

It was the next day when Irene and Johnny were heading for another day of practice. Well, it was practice for Irene, and another day to search for a dance partner for Johnny. Irene was not going to let this day go without her teasing Johnny at least once.

Irene thought back to last night when she was with Nana playing chess. Turned out that Nana was a nice lady and was curious about Irene. Not to mention that she was happy that someone else wanted to play chess with her instead of her grandson, Eddie. They talked about their life and mentioned how Johnny and Ash would make the perfect couple. When Irene mentioned that she thought of going to try to get Ash and Johnny to be dance partners, Nana happily agreed to help her, to Irene's horror. And even though that part was true, Nana secretly wanted to go back to the theater to see Clay again.

Irene glanced at Johnny for a second, thinking that maybe teasing Johnny isn't the best idea. But what kind of little sister doesn't tease their older brother? Irene smiled to herself and decided to give it a shot.

"Hey, Johnny?"

Johnny turned his head to look at Irene. "Yeah?" Irene smirked inside, getting ready for Johnny's reaction, over her heart that was beating fast with nervousness.

"How do you feel if I were to set Ash up on a couple of blind dates?" She asked innocently.

Johnny froze and looked at Irene with confusion written on his face. "W-What?"

Irene nodded innocently, while she continued walking. "Yeah. I mean, Ash is an independent girl, and I'm impressed with that... But I think that, maybe with someone who's like her would make her a little happier, don't ya think?"

Johnny stayed quiet and wasn't watching where he was going, which resulted in him running straight into a light post. Irene froze and looked at him with wide eyes. "Are you okay, Johnny?" She asked worriedly. She rushed to him and examined his cheek, to see if there were any marks, and thankfully there weren't. But Johnny didn't even notice Irene giving a check on him.

He stared off into space, thinking with his thoughts. Ash... on a blind date?! Wait, what? Why am I getting all upset over this? Ash is just a friend... A friend... He then blacked out. That's when he heard it.

Johnny... A female voice called out.

His mind flashed to Ash when Lance tried to kidnap her and the whole group managed to save her. And there was the time when Johnny comforted her when she needed someone after that incident. He even thought that she looked cute to say with the outfit she wore yesterday.

Johnny... The female voice called him again and he opens his eyes to find himself in a wheat field. The winds made the grains move gently with the breeze. He looked around to find the voice, but all he saw was a hill, where a huge oak tree was planted. Next to it, was a small figurine, and the figurine looked vaguely familiar. He slowly started to jog to the hill, where the mysterious figure was. 

Johnny... He knew he was getting closer and broke into a run, and he reached out, hoping to catch a glance of the figure, when suddenly a flash of light shined in his eyes.

"Johnny!" A voice yelled out. He opened his eyes to find himself in a bright room. And he was on a medical bed. He looked around and saw Irene with a relieved face. She immediately hugged him.
