Mikey woke up gasping. His dreams were getting worse ever since that night. He kept having dreams of Lana, Asriel, and Maddie....all coming to destroy the human race....It was horrible.
“That's the third time this week.” Gerard said.
“Wha?” Mikey asked, putting his arm over his eyes as he turned over.
“That you woke up like that. You don't remember your dream?” Gerard asked, sitting next to Mikey. Mikey just grumbled and sat up. Gerard held out a cup of coffee for him.
“You know, I think that you and Lana....” Gerard started to say, but Mikey stood up, suddenly, and walked out of the room. Gerard shook his head. Every time he mention Lana, Asriel, or Maddie, Mikey wouldn't talk to him. Gerard had no idea what to do. He sighed, getting up, and picked up his cell phone. He had a few calls to make.
Asriel and Maddie walked out of Asriel's apartment, both holding cups of coffee.
“After school, where should we look?” Maddie asked.
“We can't...” Asriel said, reluctantly.
“Why?” Maddie asked.
“We have work.” Asriel answered.
“But....” Maddie started.
“If we all disappear, then people will get suspicious. I hate it too, Maddie. I know we are all sisters in this, but if Lana is gone, it's probably something either very important and she will be back with great news, or she just needed to let off some steam. Remember what happened in 7th grade?” Asriel said. Maddie nodded. She remembered.
(Flashback)
Lana had gotten so aggravated after stress from school, and then bullies. She almost turned Tess into ash. Asriel had kept Lana away long enough for her to cool down, a bit. Then, Lana stayed in her room, not leaving until three days later. Asriel kept telling their mom and dad that she was sick, but whatever she was doing, when she finally came out, she looked normal again.
(End Flashback)
Frank was walking up to them, grinning. He always looked so perfect to Maddie. It made her heart ache a little to think that Ray, Mikey, and John knew, but Frank couldn't.
“Hey! There's Red, Brown, but where's Little Blue?” Frank said, coming to stand next to Maddie. She wanted to hold his hand, to lean into him, but she didn't know what he would do.
“Well, unfortunately, Little Blue has the flu.” Asriel said, forcing a smile.
Frank laughed. “Ha! Good one! Though, I'm sorry that she's not feeling well. Should I come and visit, help ease the pain?” He asked, almost sarcastically.
“Oh, Frank. I know how you have those amazing healing powers, but I don't think they'll help this time.” Maddie said. Smiling at him. He looked at her, with his huge, shining eyes.
“Aww. Oh well. Maybe later?” He asked. He was such a social butterfly.
“We'll think about it. Maybe you should think more too.” Asriel said, nodding to Maddie. Frank blushed deeply before turning to Maddie. Ray came over to Asriel and they left Maddie and Frank together, alone. Frank kept blushing.
“Frank...” Maddie said, her heart beating as fast as Frank's was.
“I wanted to ask you something....for a long time now...” Frank said.
“Yes?” Maddie breathed.
“Will you be my...my...girlfriend?” Frank asked. He didn't even wait for an answer, though, and pulled her in for a kiss. It was so magical, and so wonderful, and powerful feeling, that Maddie almost fainted. Frank gasped and pulled away, though.
“I saw...” he breathed.
“What? What did you see?” Maddie asked.
“Stars.” Frank said, grinning. He was just about lean in for another kiss, when Gerard's voice came from behind them.
“Maybe then you should breath more, Frank.” Gerard said.
“What?” Frank and Maddie whirled around. Gerard was shouldering his backpack and holding onto his sketch pad.
“Breath more when you're kissing, love birds. Lack of breath might cause you two to faint.” Gerard snickered. Frank groaned and took Maddie's hand, following Gerard.
“I hate it when he's right.” Frank mumbled to her, and she gigled.
