Chapter 24 - A Dangerous Game

While Tom and Mari where hanging out in the water park Mike and Chelsea had an intense bumper car showdown.

SKERRRT! CRASH! "Mother F∆¢ker!!!" Chelsea screamed at Mike they were the only people in the bumper cars so they could cuss and scream all they wanted. "hahaha" Mike laughed while circling around the empty cars to position himself for another attack.

The woman that ran the bumper cars just shook her head and sighed "You sure you don't want to move the empty cars to the outside of the ring?" she buzzed over the intercom. "No thanks Ma'am I'm trying to help her be a more aware driver before I get back in a car with her." Mike shouted. BANG!!

"How's that for aware driving!!" Chelsea yells after finally catching him off guard. A few more minutes of random crashing and they grew bored so they left the bumper cars and Mike thanked the lady for starting it up for just the two of them.

As they walked through the park they came upon the arcade. "Let's go in they might have Street fighter!" Chelsea yells as she runs ahead. Shaking his head Mike continues at his leisurely pace. Chelsea scanned the arcade and found an old Tekken tag machine.

"This is the only fighter game they got.. wanna see if you can beat me with out that cheater controller?" breaking into a grin while taunting Mike. "Sure but do you really think you can beat me? You may be a 'PRO' but I remember teaching you everything you know about fighters, and Tekken doesn't have any fancy moves for you to take out half a health bar in one hit."

"Pshaw I could beat you in any game I want except for Mortal Kombat.." "Since your so sure why not have a little bet then?" Mike grins. "I thought gambling was a sin?" Chelsea replied trying to avoid the bet. "No man is with out sin and I don't want money or property, think of it as a friendly wager."

"Yeah a rose by any other name is still a rose.. but whatever what's your wager." Chelsea tried getting out using philosophy but gave up knowing that is a field she could never beat Mike in. "Loser has to listen to one command from the winner."

"Hmmm well anyone else and I'd say no but you're not a perv so sure let's play." Chelsea picked Paul and Mike picked Yoshimitsu. "Your going down sword boy." "Yeah right you think I'm dumb enough to let you hit me with that stupid punch?"

A few minutes later and three rematches all going in Mike's favor Chelsea surrendered. "Name your wish O master." she says in defeat. "Hmmm" Mike strokes his beardless chin in contemplation as if he's deep in thought. "Ok let's go to the movies after we get back from Carowinds your treat."

"I can't afford to take everyone to the movies!" Chelsea cries in exasperation. "... I meant just us." Mike sighs "Oh ok yeah sure I can afford that." "Ok then I'll pay for dinner afterwards." "... Okaaay what's the catch?" "No catch but I drive us to the restaurant and you can't look." "that's fine but this sounds kinda like.."

"A date? yeah that's the point." Mike cuts her off and slides a few quarters into the air hockey machine Vrrrrrrrr The machine kicks on and releases the puck. "You serve first." Mike says with one of his rare real smiles.

"Hold up! your Command was for a date!?!" "Yeah but I'm not a perv remember? don't worry I'll open the door for you and everything.." "That's besides the point do you even like me like that? I'm not even a Christian you think your parents would approve?" Chelsea exclaims while her face slowly turns pink. "Well your concerns were only about my parents and me liking you is it safe to assume that.."

Crack! Chelsea snuck in a cheap shot while Mike was distracted. "... That was low Chelsea even for us." Mike grumbled as he retrieved the puck. While sliding the puck side to side he started talking again "As I was saying do you like me?"

"I never really thought of it.. I mean wait! look I like you your an awesome guy and my best guy friend you also check off most of the things I look for in a man but what if it doesn't work out?"

"We can do something else then? I could think of a different Command if you..." "Nope a date is fine! I just don't want to make it weird between us.." Chelsea stopped Mike before he completely cancelled the idea.

It's not that she wasn't attracted to him.she just always assumed he wasn't interested in dating, she tried to entice him before but it never seemed to catch his attention. "just promise me no crazy super romantic crap deal?" "That's fine I'm not good at that stuff anyways so action, horror, or comedy your choice." "Well I kinda want to see the new Spiderman movie."

As they played air hockey the two of them continue talking until two men walk into the arcade. "Damn b!tch lose a fight with a sharpie?" Man one says causing man two to laugh. Before Mari could say anything Mike's eyes went cold as he turned around and barked out "Who The F∆¢k do you think your talking to!"

After the two were psyched out by Tom they decided they weren't going to let it happen again. "You think your tough boy? I will F∆¢..." Man number two got directly in Mike's face to start cussing him out...

Mike went all American this year as a highschool wrestler.. it didn't end the way he thought it would. After putting the man in a guillotine head lock untill he passed out Mike dropped him on his face. "Get your friend out of here before I kick every last f∆¢king tooth down his throat... NOW!!!" Mike said to man number one who dragged his friend out of the door so fast he accidentally left a shoe behind.

"I am REALLY sorry about that Chelsea I just snapped I swear I'm only like that with dumb@$$e$" Mike started explaining himself as he turned around and realized Chelsea wasn't there... "D@mn!t.. I F∆¢ked up" he sighed as he drooped his shoulders before someone tapped him on his back.

"I thought I said!.." Mike turned around expecting to get in a fight only to see Chelsea even closer to his face than man number two was. Mwau "My hero" Thump! Chelsea kissed Him on the cheek before playfully punching his chest. "Hey it's almost lunch time I'm gonna text the girls to meet us at the cars." Chelsea skipped away while Mike held his face and smiled again.
