My Best Friend

Chap 7 "Christmas Spirit"

Mia's POV
"You just gave away your bike," I smiled. "That's nice of you."
We walked into the Shiba house. "Mike?" Emily asked. "I didn't hear your bike outside. Did you run out of gas?"
"No, I gave it away," Mike smiled.
"What?" Kevin asked.
"Why?" Emily asked.
"I saw these guys at the park who had nothing at all," Mike smiled. "And it made me think of everything that I have here with all of you." I smiled at Mike. "I wanted them to have something special so I gave it to them."
"You're something else," I smiled as we hugged.
"That's some real Christmas spirit," Kevin nodded.
"Merry Christmas," we all said together.
"This family is the best yet," Antonio smiled as he walked in with Lauren. "Hey guys."
"Whoa," I smiled. "That was something I didn't expect."
"We brought hot chocolate for everyone," Lauren smiled holding up two cup holders. "It has your name on them."
"Starbucks," Emily smiled. "That's the only place they put names on the cup."
"She knows," Lauren smiled. "So, has everyone already handed out presents?"
"Yeah," Kevin smiled. "Early this morning."
"And tonight, we have a Christmas party," Emily smiled. I looked at her. "I have your dress for you, Mia."
"Oh no," I thought to myself.
"Whatever it is, I'm sure she'll look great," Mike smiled. "She looks great in everything."
"A dress, Mike?" I asked. "You have never seen me in a dress."
"Yes I have," Mike nodded. "Prom?"
"I never asked you to -" I thought about it. "You were the rangers that defeated the nighlok on my prom night."
"Yeah," Mike smiled.
We talked till six rolled around the corner. "Come on, Mia," Emily smiled. She pulled me into her room and showed me the dress. "This is for you."
"Emily, its beautiful," I smiled. "I love it." I put the dress on and Emily handed me matching heels. "Thank you." I put the heels on me and looked at Emily. "Thank you, again."
"You're welcome," Emily smiled. "Go out there and join our Samurai family party."
"Alright," I smiled. I walked out to the common room looking at stuff on my morpher. "I honestly hope not one nighlok disturbs our holiday." I looked up to see Kevin, Mike, Antonio, and Jayden all staring at me. "Did I forget something?"
"You do know the party is here at the Shiba house, right?" Kevin asked.
"Yeah but Emily got me this," I nodded putting my samuraizer on the table.
"You're stunning," Mike smiled.
"Samuraizer, gold power," Antonio stated.. He morphed. "It still works on Christmas."
"Because you never know when a nighlok will attack," Mentor nodded.
"And let's hope Antonio didn't jinx that for us," I sighed.
"I don't like the way he's looking at you," Mike whispered.
"He's wearing a helmet," I smiled. "1) how would you know if he's looking at me? And 2) how could you tell?"
"I could just tell," Mike justified.
"Don't let that jealousy get to your head," Kevin nodded.
The nighlok sensor went off. "Thanks a lot, Antonio," I sighed.
"The five of you," Mentor nodded.
"Alright," I sighed.We ran out of the house an went to the city. "I wished I grabbed a coat." I was a little relived that it was only the five of us for the first time without Antonio or Lauren. "There's nothing here."
"We'll just have a look around," Jayden replied. We started walking around. A car fell out of the sky and crashed in front of us, 'causing me to stumble backwards and fall on my butt. "Everyone okay?"
"Okay?" I asked looking up at Jayden. "I was this close to being crushed by a car." Mike helped me up. "What makes you think I'm okay right now?"
"You're still alive," Mike nodded. "That's all that matters."
"How did that just fall though?" I asked. We went up to the parking garage where we thought the car fell from. "There's nothing here." I looked around. "Wait, where's Mike?"
"He was just standing right here," Kevin replied.
"Mike?" Emily called out.
I went to grab my morpher from my belt on my dress but it wasn't there. "Oh no," I replied, checking my phone dress. "My samuraizer is gone."
"Mine too," Jayden replied. We all lost our morpher. "This is bad."
"Now what?" Kevin asked.
"This is your call Mia," Jayden nodded.
"Okay," I sighed. "Jayden, you and Kevin split up to find Mike." I looked at Emily. "Em, you and me, we gotta find the samuraizers."
"Let's go," Emily replied. Emily and I started walking around. We walked into the mall. "Why would people come to the mall on Christmas?"
"I don't know," I nodded. A little girl walked past me and I saw your samuraizers in her bag. She placed it down by the bench and ran into the store. I grabbed the backpack. "Not that I don't wanna steal her backpack but they contain our morphers." I saw Jayden. I threw Jayden his morpher along with Kevin's and Mike's just in case they see him. I handed Emily's hers. A whole crowd of people started running. "What's going on?"
"Let's go see," Emily nodded. We pushed past the people and saw a nighlok. "Is that -?"
"Master Xandred," I nodded. I looked at Emily. "Run and keep up." I started running and Emily followed me. We got to the front entrance. Master Xandred stopped me. My morpher turned into a sword. "Blazing strike!" I struck the nighlok once and he laughed at me. "Okay. Blazing strike!" I ran at home and struck him again. He just kept laughing. "Seriously?"
"Something stronger!" Emily nodded.
"Spin sword, activate!" I exclaimed. I struck him and Master Xandred was defeated. "I did it!"
"Mia," Mike replied as he ran up and hugged me. "You did it! You freed me."
"And defeated Xandred," Jayden nodded.
"It's our mission to save the world," I smiled. "Now the world is finally safe."
