The Power Inside

The Best Fight in History

    Directly after glaring down Mike I went to get lunch. Therese and I went to the dining hall and ate. "That was amazing we told you you were a good fighter naturally. You took James out and he's a first generation Shuttler with lots of years for experience." Therese said amazed."Yeah but I took a couple of lessons in karate. I mean I was too clumsy and tripped when I tried but I still took them. But Mike is a world class fighter/I'm pretty sure assassin. I'm so dead the moment I step in the ring." The next thing Therese said was"Use your looks. Mike is crazy about you and that is your advantage. And its the only advantage you have except for your powers which you can't use on his head anyways. It wouldn't be fair." The next part I mumbled"Neither is the fight." Therese just gave me a warning look."Go in there and pretend that you are the worst fighter and you're completely scared. Take a couple hits and after they are done pretend that you can't see or you're extremely hurt. That'll get him he'll go to help you. That's when he'll be most vulnerable. You strike when he checks on you and bada bing bada boom you've won the fight. Guys are easy." Little did she know that Der had been listening to us the whole time. I laughed uneasily and then walked over to him cutting Therese off after her last statement. "Der sweetie you aren't going to tell anyone are you?" He just laughed and said"Come on Therese is very tactical and Mike has been needing an ego check for quite some time. I won't tell and you'd be wise to do exactly as Therese says. If it turns out that Mike has the exact same plan you heal him with your mind and tell him all better now fight. He's smart but when it comes to you he's reckless." I nodded. I guess I had a chance. My heart did kartwheels all around my body. I was so happy. I will win this fight.

                                          A few hours later

The fight was about to start. I was nervous even with all the tricks up my sleeve I could never know if it was going to work. I looked over and Mike was dressed in a gray straight uniform and I had to admit he looked pretty cute. But now was not the time to admire it was time to kick but and kick it hard. I jumped in the ring "tripping" on the wires they had set up for the match. I scrambled up while everyone snickered. They think I'm going down. Serves them right. I limped over to the corner of the ring. Therese walked up patted my back with a frown on her face but winked. So the show was still on. I winked back and rubbed my neck. I looked like a nervous act. I knew Mike was feeding off of this energy. I smirked inside my head. The fight was on and he was going down. The bell rang showing the fight was starting. I walked up "tripping" on my feet. I took the first swing and barely tapped his shoulder. Mike growled and leaped before I knew what was happening he was pummeling my face into the corner of the ring. Everyone was cheering Mike on. Once I won this match I was going to kill all of them. I collapsed and started crying. "Wow you're really good I'm sorry that I doubted you but I just thought that you must have a flaw somewhere." I said sounding exasperated."Please don't hurt me! Wait what's happening? I can't see anything what happened seriously Mike what did you do?!" Mike stopped hitting me and tried to help me up and I jumped up and swept his feet out from underneath him. He fell and I took it as my chance to leap up. I smirked while the whole crowd was awestruck. I picked Mike up by his feet and swung him around until he was too heavy and he went spiraling into the corner. Mike got up obviously still confused by what I had done. I smirked and he took that as a death wish from me. I said a bunch of random words and waved my hand over the pot that had appeared and made it look like I was a witch. Magic was radiating off my fingers. Mike smiled and leaped like a cat and tackled me but he was too late the potion had taken its course and he was blown away to the wall. The fight continued on like this for quite a while before Mike collapsed and was knocked unconcience. Everyone applauded and lifted me up in the cradle position. I was sooooo tired I hadn't slept at all the night before and I had fought my heart out so I passed out from exhaustion.

   I woke up in a new room. I looked around and finally realized that I was in Mikes room. He was sleeping on the couch. Now was my chance to get him. I got a permanent marker, whipped cream, and a feather and set to work. I wrote I'm a big baby on his head and drew a mustache on him. I then put whipped cream on his hand and tickled his nose. I was laughing so hard when he woke up angrily. He went to the kitchen and got out a towel he wiped his face off and growled. I laughed and took off down the hall and everyone he passed was laughing he looked confused ran back to his room and looked in the mirror he scowled and took off again after me again. Uh oh. Wish me luck.
