Second Heart

Promises

"Okay just do it!" "No." "Do it or i'll do it first." "..." "Fine I'll do it." "Great! Now go for it." Mika drew her hand far back and opened her palm wide. 

Ryan squeezed her eyes tight in order to not see it coming to her. Seconds later hand meet face and mouth meet vocal chords. 

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Ryan fell to her knees faster than a rock falls from the sky. "I told you it would hurt." Mika crossed her arms and leaned to one side and sighed. 

"Okay now its my turn. You ready?" Mika nodded at her and awaited the stinging pain to reach her cheek. 

Moments later there was still no contact so she peeked with one eye. "What are you doing Ryan?" Ryan's face was puffed up, eyes watery, and an extreme frustration reading across her face.

Mika laughed and squeezed her cheeks as Ryan let out all of the held in air. "You don't have it in you to slap me do you?" Ryan looked away in shame.

Mika peeked at her face but suddenly lost all sense of balance. Ryan pinned her to the ground and squeezed her face into her chest. 

"If this is you and your awkward moments and needing of pillows; then that is not my function." Ryan sat up and fell backwards. "Do you think we will be this way even when we grow up? Friends, I mean."

"I just slapped you for calling someone a crybaby wannabe, and given that you didn't slap me back. I think we will figure it out."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Ryan?" "Ryan!" 'That's it.' I pulled my hand back and flicked her in the face. She woke up with a sudden jolt and fell out of the bed. 

She looked up at me and then to the door where all hell was breaking loose. I know its probably silent now but just wait till she walks out there, it'll be a standing ovation.

She suddenly stood up and walked towards the bathroom gesturing for me to come with her. I turned my back to her as she got into a tub with bubbles almost overflowing.

I slid over to the side of the tub and looked at her while she stared at my squeaky turtle. "Tuttle..." I cooed into her ear.

She laughed and laughed until she started choking on air causing me to fall over in pain from laughter. "Only you could choke on air and still try and laugh!" She wiped the tears from her eyes as it all became quiet again.

"Hey Mika?"

"What?"

"You still promise?"

"What do you mean?"

"You don't remember?"

"We have made so many promises that I can't remember all of them; but I'm not an idiot."

Ryan looked at me for a second and smiled. "Right."

                                                                  *************The Living Room*************

Phoebe...

I can't even right now. I feel like the elephant in the room. *Whispering* "Jewel, we need to brake the ice barrier in here." Jewel licked my face and trotted away. Two minutes later there was screaming and shrieking as Ryan and Mika came tumbling out of their room. 

Immediately followed after their reaction came Jewel screeching with all her might. Why must you make me heart melt you beautiful rodent.

Ryan kept running away wearing leggings and sweatshirt exiting the room and moving to the balcony. "Nobody should experience what that freaking thing did! I DO NOT APPROVE OF THIS!" 

Mika was holding her chest tight and slowly inched towards the opposite direction. "Oh the horror. I think I just saw a nightmare living its own dream."

Not-so-surprisingly Jace got up to take care of Ryan while Yuki tightened up into an even tighter ball. "It's not fair." It was faint but it was there. "He actually spoke!" I pulled out my pen and notepad and pulled my glasses onto my face.

"Tell me everything."
