Mavis had finished doing a grand jeté, and then returned to first position. She was panting and sweating, and more than ready for practice to be over. The lead male of the recital had to do a fish dive with her and then practice would be over. Mavis got ready, in fifth position, and her partner lifted her to position, and set her down. Mavis opened her eyes. And this was not the lead male.
"Tyler?! What are you doing here???" Mavis whisper-shouted, confused as all hell.
"There's a...slight emergency..."
"Of course..."
"Also you look really...really cute..."
Mavis blushed. "So uh the emergency??"
"right, right!" He grabbed her and teleported them away.
Mrs. Duval turned around and was puzzled where the Mavis and lead boy went, but shrugged and just dismissed everyone, since it had been that time already. Lead boy ran in, saw everyone was gone, and left, feeling confused as to how he magically ended up outside, during the last five minutes of practice.
........................................................................
Tyler accidentally teleported a few feet too high and Mavis landed on top of him, in a position that was awkward enough that Kevin immediately noticed and took advantage of the situation. He began chanting "kiss" expecting the other noobs to join in, which of course, they didn't. Kevin finally gave up n that specific attempt, and helped Mavis and Tyler up.
"Anyways the big emergency is...well, that" Tyler gestured towards the masked freak with a laser sword, that Yolanda and Shope were both just barely keeping at bay. (Yolanda directed Shope on what to do, with her foresight, while Shope create the lightning and storms necessary for such attack)
"...yikes" Mavis could only react with that.
"I know." Tyler replied "do you think you could throw some fire at him and scare him off??"
"I'll try." She walked over, shoved her battle ball into her chest, and made a fistful of fire. "Hey, masky! Over here!!"
The masked figure turned toward Mavis, and she blasted fire at him, however, he dodged, and made it go back towards Mavis by smacking the fire with his orange laser sword. Mavis dodged, then did a kick flip, kicking the fire the figure dodged back over to him.
For nearly an hour, they just threw the fire back and forth at each other, until masked figure eventually decided he was tired.
"Okay this one does not tire, clearly, SO I QUIT FOR THE NIGHT!!! BUT I WILL BE BACK!!!!" The masked figure trudged away.
"That felt pointless, tbh" Kevin commented. "I mean an hour of Mavis throwing fire at this guy AND THEN he leaves just to say he's coming back? That's time I could have spent eating pizza and playing video games!!!!"
The other noobs just rolled their eyes at Kevin, and went home for the night, except Mavis and Tyler.
"You were...really good tonight..." He blushed and rubbed the back of his head, his messy, short blond hair ruffled a little.
Mavis smiled at him. "Thanks..."
He hugged her, stroking her hair, and gently giving her a couple pats on the back. He loved her so much and he almost couldn't bear not telling her, but he was just too shy. Mavis melted into the hug, holding him tight, and smelling his faintly citrus scented body, it must have been the soap he used, because she just adored his aroma--she loved hugging him and this was one of the reasons. The only thing she loved more than hugging him, was, of course, him.
The two of them let the hug linger on into territory that'd usually be considered awkward, but only because neither of them really wanted to let go. In this one moment, it was the unspoken "I love you" that the other so desperately longed to hear. Eventually, Tyler had to let go, since he had to at least go home for long enough that his mom wouldn't worry. (For extra measure he was gonna go on guard duty that night as well). Mavis headed back to "home" as well, since she was staring to grow tired.
........................................................................
The next day, Mavis was tired. Although that glorified game of hot "potato" (it was a fireball) only lasted an hour, that hour was late enough that Mavis lost sleep. Tyler was equally tired, from guard duty. The pair leaned on one another, sleeping right through first and second periods. By lunch time, they both were just barely awake enough to make it through the rest of the day.
"Wow, you two are EXHAUSTED" Yolanda pointed out what was obvious to the two of them. However the pair was tired enough not to argue, like either of them would, since usually someone would snap at her for being captain obvious. It was usually Tyler, if we're talking Mavis and Tyler in specific. If we're talking just the noobs rather than just Mavis and Tyler, it'd be Kevin. But, for some reason, Kevin wasn't with them that day...
Tyler noticed, when he woke up a little more. "Hey where is--" he yawned loudly "--Kevin, anyways?"
All the noobs, except Mavis, shrugged, and Mavis just yawned, and then fell asleep next to her mashed potatoes.
"We haven't seen him all day." Shope commented
"He said he has a girlfriend!" Roach said out of nowhere.
"WHAT?!" All the noobs reacted in shock. The sudden exclamation shook Mavis awake, and gave her a fright enough that she fell into Tyler's chest.
Tyler patted her back, and looked to Roach with confusion. "Kevin? Has a GIRLFRIEND?" Tyler didn't believe this for a second.
"Yeah and he's been spending time with her the whole day!" Roach giggled
Then Kevin walked in, his arm around Scarlet.
The noobs' jaws dropped in shock, except Mavis who was fast asleep in Tyler's chest.
"Dude, you're dating an alien...." Yolanda raised an eyebrow.
"And what's the problem with that?" Kevin didn't see any issue with dating aliens.
"Okay...but an alien stole the orange battle ball?" Shope pointed out
"WOW SHOPE WAY TO STEREOTYPE MY GIRLFRIEND BEFORE YOU EVEN GET TO KNOW HER!"
"You probably haven't even gotten to know her!" Shope said, pointing out the fact that Scarlet had only been around for a day.
"Well I like her, and I don't need your negativity." Kevin pouted.
Tyler looked at Kevin with a flat expression.
"Oh don't give me that look! You can't even tell Mavis how you feel about her!"
"I...."
Kevin made a blank expression back at him.
"Just because I'm bad with feelings doesn't mean I won't tell her SOMEDAY!!"
"Yeah, when you're both elderly and she's already dead"
Tyler pouted angrily. "Stop being an asshole!"
"No!" Kevin walked off with Scarlet.
Tyler glared as Kevin walked away. What nerve.
Yes, he was too shy to tell Mavis, but Kevin couldn't be right! He was calling a girl he barely knew, that he just met, who was likely an alien, his girlfriend, which was annoying as hell. This Scarlet girl was suspicious, and Tyler didn't trust her for a minute, especially not with Kevin. He had a bad feeling. Tyler groaned loudly.
Mavis stirred. He gently stroked her fiery red curls, as he sighed a little.
Why did Kevin get a girlfriend before him?? Specially when Tyler had known the girl he wanted longer than the girl Kevin was dating had been at the school...by years.
Tyler softly groaned again.
Teenager problems.
