Purple Thunder | A Jayden Shiba Love Story

Day Off

"Heys Guys!" We all hear Mike greet us coming in from skateboarding god knows where. 

"What's up?!" I greet back as I punch the air as if it was my sparing partner.

"Guess what?!" Mike asked in excitement.

"You overslept? Again.." Kevin joked.

Mia, Emily, and I laughed at that joke, "Yeah well thats nothing new." Mike answered.

"So what's up?" Emily asked.

"Ji just told me he wanted us to take the day off!" Mike answered.

The smile on my face slowly faded away and into a frown knowing I can't take the day off today, "Really?" Emily asked for repetition.

"This isn't a joke?" Mia asked.

"But..We just started our work out." Kevin then twisted his body around, kicking the bean bag behind him.

"Dude, you're telling me you're going to disobey a direct order from your Samurai mentor?" Mike asked taking off his helmet that he used for protection to skate outside with.

"Well..I guess not." Kevin answered.

"What to do..I could shop for shoes in a design for fighting monsters or I could catch a flick-" Mia said getting interrupted by Emily. 

I tried speaking to tell them I couldn't take the day off today but none of them gave me the chance to speak, "But it's such a beautiful day! It be a shame to stay cooped up inside!" Emily stated cheerfully.

"Em, I could teach you how to shred!" Mike offered.

"Well I was thinking Rainbow's end! I've never been on a rollercoaster before!" Emily suggested.

"What?! Never?!" Mike asked.

"They don't have amusement parks out where I'm from." Emily answered.

"Then it's settled!" Mia said.

"Rainbows end here we come!" Mike cheered. 

"You guys have fun, I'm busy all day." I say to them walking towards the complete opposite direction from the front door. 

"Are you sure?" Emily asked me.

"Yeah. Go have fun." I smiled walking away. 

I turned the corner just to hear Kevin say, "Hey Jayden! We're going to the Amusement park!"

"Have fun." Jayden tells them.

"You're not coming with us?" Kevin asked.

"Not this time. There's something I need to do." Jayden answered. I hear his footsteps heading in my direction.

"Both of them are so mysterious sometimes. I wonder what's so important." Mia .

"Our day off is a waisting! Jayden and Tawny can take care of themselves, come on!" Mike hurried them up. 

I hear the front door being closed followed by multiple footsteps fading away. I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding in. 

"You ready?" Jayden asked me after my breath was clear.

"Yeah. Lets go." I tell him as we approach his room.

We sat down on his bed. He handed me a brown box with a Moth on it. He held another brown box with a beetle on it. We opened both boxes at the same time revealing the Orange beetle disc and the Silver Moth disc.
