The Power Inside

The Tricky Trickster

   I ran as hard and as far as my legs would carry me. I was laughing so hard and kept looking back and I didn't even see the step in front of my foot until I face planted. Mike was laughing so hard and he came over hovering over me. I laughed breathily looking around to see if anyone was looking. Once I realized no one was watching I looked at Mike. I love looking into his eyes I could get lost for hours. He smirked and said"You done observing how beautiful I am or do I need to just hold this pose and model for a while?" "Yeah yeah Mr.Cocky did you even realize first off you still have I'm a big baby on your forehead and second off that I have a gun pointed at you?" Mike looked down and sure enough there was my pistol pointed at him. I laughed and he slowly lowered my gun and kissed me. I felt sparks every time he touched me. I didn't get them very much around Eric. I'm thinking that Eric and I aren't going to go very far. I mean don't get me wrong but I think I'm in love with Mike. I will talk to Ben about it. Mike was leaning his head onto mine. I could sit here and live in this moment forever he is mine and I am his. I smiled at this thought and Mike raised an eyebrow and shrugged. He leaned down and kissed me again. I feel like we are like those little valentine monkey dolls that have magnets for lips. Oh well it can't be that bad if just the touch of our skin makes me melt. Mike was laughing so hard and I looked at him questioningly. He just pulled out a tiny shard of glass from his pocket and pointed it at me to look at my reflection. I looked in and saw that Mike had wrote "I'm a loser" in big letters and gave me a curly Hollywood mustache. I smirked and said "Well at least we look alike while I gave you a super wedgie and wrote "My mommy says to write my name on here so my name is Mikee!" in little kid messy handwriting. "He just laughed and said "Well you missed that I made your shoes have dog poop and pee all over them.""Well you didn't realize that while you were telling me that I was making you have tiny horns that look like your Satan's spawn. And it comes with a free tail.""Well you didn't realize-" "Oh shut up children I was hoping that warriors would be a little more mature...but I see that will not happen." Ben said walking in chuckling."Nope!" we said in unison. I walked up to Ben and said"Hey we need to talk." He nodded and said "Mike we will be back in short order try not to fight with any other people that might look your way." "No promises." Mike said smiling ruefully.

        Ben and I left out the door and walked away. He said"Shoot.""OK so I thought long and hard about my decision for the guys and I was going to tell you but I have to ask you a few questions first.""OK go ahead.""Why don't I see anyone with you shouldn't you be matched up or in love with someone?"The last part I saw a sad and pained expression cross his face."I had a wife and three children until the Great Betrayal came and all houses were raided. We Shuttlers make bonds so tight you can feel each others paper cuts. So you can imagine when I went on guard and missed a few Zonnos sneaking in and they killed my whole family. They were the first family to be attacked. I felt my children and my wife die. It was the worst feeling in the world. My life came tumbling around me and I became a miserable heap until the guy that made the prophecy came around. I know this parts probably awkward but I'm gay. The guy that told the prophecy about you was my husband for a while. But as everyone else I have loved he died. Currently I am skipping between boyfriends but no one is how I want them to be for me... until I saw Eric he is really awesome and cool. I know this is probably weird but I think he could be the one.""Ben I never knew I'm so sorry but I guess this is good news for you because I chose Mike. He gives me jumbles in my stomach that I like. And he's exactly like me. We have fun being children and no one even cares. Its like we were meant for each other. So we cool then?""Yeah we cool "Wanna go get a coffee or something and can I invite Mike and Eric?""Sure this will be fun."
