Ever Since Middle School

Chap 9

Ari's/Mia's POV
"We actually got through this," I smiled. Mike joined me. "Hey."
"Hey," Mike smiled as he hugged me. "You guys did great out there."
"Thanks," I smiled. "It actually helps when your boyfriend is a great teacher." I looked at Blake. "You worked hard with me and I'm glad you did, with the exception of Adam helping me with that remix part."
"Writing a song takes time," Adam smiled. "Glad that my skills came in handy."
"We should get going," Blake smiled.
"You know, I didn't expect the concert to be at 10am and end at 11am," I nodded. "That's a little odd. Let's go home." We all went back to the house. I sat in the living room alone because everyone had things they had to do. Adam walked in with my guitar "What are you doing with my guitar?"
"You and I are going to sing a song," Adam smiled. "Do you know Perfect by One Direction?"
"My favorite song," I nodded as Adam handed me my guitar. I put my morpher on the coffee table. I strummed as he sat to NY left. "You ready?"
"Hold on," Adam smiled setting up the camera on his phone. "We are putting this on my YouTube channel."
"Alright," I smiled. Adam pressed record. "Hello, I'm Ari Insels."
"And I'm Adam," Adam smiled. "Ari, she's going to play the guitar while we sing. So, you ready, Ari?"
"Yeah, let's go," I nodded.
I started playing the guitar and Adam started singing. "I might never be your knight in shining armor. I might never be the one you take home to mother," Adam sang. I looked at him and he smiled at me. "And I might never be the one who brings you flowers. But I can be the one, be the one tonight." I smiled to myself as I played the guitar. "When I first saw you," Adam sang as he pointed at me, "from across the room, I could tell that you were curious, oh yeah." I smiled at him. "Girl, I hope you’re sure what you're looking for. 'Cause I'm not good at making promises."
"But if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms and if you like having secret little rendezvous," I sang. "If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn’t do, baby, I'm perfect. Baby, I'm perfect for you."
"And if you like midnight driving with the windows down," Adam joined me. We looked at each other and smiled. "And if you like going places we can’t even pronounce. If you like to do whatever you've been dreaming about, baby, you're perfect." I saw Mike and smiled at him. He was smiling at me. "Baby, you're perfect."
"So let's start right now," I sang.
"I might never be the hand you put your heart in," Adam sang as he looked me in the eyes. "Or the arms that hold you any time you want them. But that don’t mean that we can’t live here in the moment." I nodded at Adam and smiled. "'Cause I can be the one you love from time to time."
"When I first saw you from across the room," I sang with Adam. "I could tell that you were curious."
"Oh yeah," I sang. "Boy, I hope you’re sure what you're looking for, 'cause I'm not good at making promises."
"But if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms and if you like having secret little rendezvous. If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn’t do, baby, I'm perfect. Baby, I'm perfect for you," we sang. "And if you like midnight driving with the windows down. And if you like going places we can’t even pronounce. If you like to do whatever you've been dreaming about, baby, you're perfect. Baby, you're perfect."
"So let's start right now," I ended.
Adam and I looked at each other. "I didn't know you were that experienced in guitar," Adam smiled.
"Well, I did have some time in the music department," I smiled. "I pick up a few things." Adam stopped the recording. "Mike, what did you think?"
"You're amazing as always," Mike nodded. "You're a Samurai, you can sing, and you can play guitar. If you ask me, we got ourselves a triple threat." Mentor Ji walked in. "Mentor, did you hear that?"
"I did," Mentor nodded. "You, Ari, are one talented young woman."
"I like to keep busy when I was in school," i nodded. The alarm sounded. I pressed the button on the coffee table and the glass lit up. I slide my finger up on it and a surveillance feed appeared on the TV. "Moogers..."
"Go," Mentor Ji replied.
I grabbed my morpher and left the house, being followed by Mike. We kept running. "Are we the only two?" I asked as my morpher turned into a sword. We started fighting the Moogers. "Where is everyone else?"
"I don't know," Mike replied fighting as well. "We have to keep fighting."
"Activate Spin Sword," I stated. My Spin Sword activated. I swung my sword around me one time and the Moogers around me died. "Yes!" A Mooger tackled me and it was on top of me. I held my sword in front of me to he couldn't get any closer. "Mike!"
"Mia!" Mike exclaimed. I saw him take out the last Mooger he was fighting. He kicked the Moogers off of me and sliced the Mooger in half with his sword. "Mia." He helped me up. "Are you alright?"
"I am," I nodded. Jayden, Lauren, Kevin, Emily, and Antonio showed up. "Better late then never, but I'm afraid you were a little too late."
"We're sorry," Emily replied. "We were stuck in a little sticky situation of our own." I looked at them. "Antonio and Kevin were bind together by their hands with the glue nighlok. We defeated him."
"Yeah, we all have a roll to play in this," I smiled. "Don't worry about it." Our swords disappeared. "We had it all under control."
"We sure did," Mike smiled. We started walking as a group. "I know you guys have heard Mia sing, but have you guys heard her okay guitar?!"
"You can play guitar?" Antonio asked as we sat down at a picnic table. Jayden ordered our food from the food truck. "Maybe we should collab together."
"I just played the guitar for Adam so we could sing together for a video he wanted to do," I nodded. "It's been a while since I touched my guitar."
"A while? That's what you're going to go with?" Mike asked as Jayden put a Chinese takeout box in front of us. "You can play."
"Thanks Mike but you're giving me way too much credit," I nodded. "I mean, look at Antonio. He's a lot better than me."
"We need to hear you play," Emily smiled.
"Okay," I nodded. "Maybe on Christmas."
"We can even have a Christmas party," Kevin smiled.
Our picnic table was flipped over. They were Moogers. "I'm getting really sick and tired of this Moogers," I nodded as my morpher turned into a sword. "Let's get this done."
