Chapter 21 ~ Old Friend

"Oh Em! I have miss you for so long!" Nell hugged her.

"Me too! I am glad to see you again! I even heard you living in Beacontown with Jesse!" Em hugged her back tightly.

"There is so much I wanted to tell you of what happened to our town!" Nell said.

"I am okay with you telling me the whole story." Em assured her.

Nell smiled as she told her the story.

They were now back to Minetopia after the fight. Rebecca heard what happened and was worried for Shawn. But he told her that he's fine thanks to Em. Which she thanked her before she took him back to their home. Shira was wounded and had a bruise on her right cheek. Castiel took her to the doctor with Aiden since he couldn't help but feel very angry to see him touching her. Jessica told her uncle of what she did to defeat Cassie with the help of her friends. Jack and Lukas told Nurm and Radar about the fight. As for Anga she told Nikki and Leikesha the same. Leikesha was mad to hear that and wants to kill Cassie, literally.

Notch told the guards to make sure no one comes into Minetopia and to make sure the shield is up. The guards did and never fell asleep as they take turns to keep an eye watch.

Right now Jessica is in the room. Lukas left to go explore the places and will come back before night time. She was still thinking about what happened and everything was so complicated. She has the mails that she received when she was in Beacontown and keeps on rereading Cassie's letter over and over again. She thought she was joking and think that she could never escape. But Cassie was actually serious. Jessica could have kept her guard up if there something was wrong.

As she was thinking there was the knock on the door.

"Hey Jesse. It's Jack and Nurm. Can we come in for a moment?" he asked through the door.

"Yeah. It's opened." she said.

He opened the door and went inside before Nurm closed the door.

"Are you thinking about this Cassie person?" he asked sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Yeah.." 

"I just can't believe she would do this. I may not know about this Cassie but was she always like this?" he asked.

"Not since she started to make friends in the mansion until she revealed herself as the murderer. But she regret for what she did when I mentioned her friends she killed. I know there is goodness in her." 

"Hmm hmm." Nurm said.

"I hope you're right. Remember the Admin though?" Jack smiled.

"Yeah. I remembered. I'm glad he gets to fix things." Jesse smiled back.

"How does that make you feel?" he asked.

"Happy. That things are over and everything in peace."

"Hmm." Nurm smiled.

"You still have Aiden's letter." Jack replied.

"Yep. At first I was happy and positive he changed since Sky City. He apologized for his behavior and admitted." 

"What about Lukas?" 

"He was kinda mad and doesn't trust him. But I managed to get him to understand." 

"I hope what you're doing is right to get Cassie to realize her mistakes." 

"Hmm." Nurm followed his action.

"Were you guys trying to cheer me up?" she chuckled.

"Hmm." Nurm nodded.

"Thanks. Since when you became so kind? I thought you would always think you are tough." 

"Well I just thought of helping you get your mind off of things. You are a good amigo." Jack smiled.

"Thank you. How about we go out to check our friends?" she suggested.

"Hmm." Nurm said getting up.

"Sounds good to me. I would like to check on Shawn." he said getting off of the bed.

The three friends went out of the room.

.....

Nikki and Radar are collecting some herbs for the medicine. For them to heal Shira. They heard about the fight between Cassie and the Ender Dragon and were glad that they survived.

"I am worried about Jesse. And everyone else." Radar said picking up the herbs and put them in the basket.

"What do you see in Jesse? You mostly talk about her." Nikki looked at him.

"She was like a mother to me. She always been there for me. Jesse even supported me like I feel like a part of her. She trust me and made me a Co-Hero in Residence that I was meant to be."

"Radar.." 

Radar gazed at Nikki as they look at each other. They both looked away blushing. 

"I have never met anyone like you Nikki." 

"Really?"

"Yeah. You are brave and strong. You are very confident..and beautiful."

"That is so sweet of you to say that. You are cute when you blush." 

Radar turned red and tried to cover his face with the basket causing the herbs to fall on his face. Nikki giggled at his clumsiness and took the herbs out of his face. Radar looked at her again as their faces were inches apart. 

"C-come on. Let's give these herbs to the doctor." she said taking out her hand.

Radar took it and grabbed the basket with some herbs that fell as they walked away together.

As the two were walking, Aiden and Castiel are in the doctor place outside of the door with Shira who was inside. The doctor wrapped the bandage around her right arm after they cleaned and put the healing potion on her wound. As for her right cheek they said that there is only a bruise which she was lucky that she didn't get punched hard. So they put the healing potion on her cheek too. While Shira was being recovered, the boys were sitting down on the chair waiting. Aiden felt uncomfortable being around Shawn. Shawn was just sitting fine. 

"Are you jealous of me because I was around YOUR Shira?" he asked out of nowhere.

"W-What?? What are you talking about I'm not??" Aiden looked at him. 

"You are. If you haven't notice I was catching you giving me a glare while Shira was looking at me. I could clearly see that from your eyes. And I caught you shaking in anger." he replied.

Aiden stayed quiet for a moment knowing that Shawn was right.

"So you like Shira?" 

"I..."

"Don't worry I only see her as a friend. She even told me that she likes you."

Aiden's eyes widened with shock.

"She does?"

"Yes. All is that I am asking is if you like Shira."

"Yes..." Aiden sighed.

"Alright. You have my blessing." Shawn smiled.

"Yeah...Wait what? What does that mean?" 

Shawn grinned and stayed quiet and read the magazine.

"Hey! Hello? Did you hear me?" 

Shawn stayed the same which got him more confused. Just then the door was opened to reveal Shira with her right arm covered and her cheek. They got up and looked at her. 

"She would be fine. She just have to rest from her right arm until it is healed in 2 weeks. You can take off your bandage when it is healed." she said before closing the door leaving them.

"How are you feeling?" Aiden asked.

"I'm fine just a scratch." Shira rubbed her head.

"More like you got a scar.." Castiel said looking amused.

"But I can still use my powers." Shira said taking her ice powers out with her hand as she tried to freeze something with her right hand.

She couldn't and her right arm almost got hurt. She hissed and gripped her arm. Aiden grabbed her hand to stop her.

"You have to rest your right arm until the healing potion is fully healing you." he said.

"But what if they need me? I have to do something not doing nothing."

"You need to rest. You gotta have to wait." Castiel said.

Shira looked down knowing that they are right.

"Fine.."

"Come on let's take you to your house with Titan."

Aiden took her hand as they walk together. Castiel gave him the smirk and he made a look telling him to keep your mouth shut. Castiel shrugged and left leaving the two walk hand in hand. Shira blushed feeling her face turn bright pink. Aiden blushed a little too as they head towards the house.

Meanwhile, Jessica, Jack, and Nurm were walking around. Jessica went to go to see Lukas, Radar, and Nikki. While Jack and Nurm head towards the house where Shawn, Rebecca, and their dad live. Nurm knocked on the door and it opened to reveal the dad and he recognized them and let them in. He gave them a seat as they sit down. They heard footsteps to reveal Shawn and Rebecca. She walked over to Jack with Shawn following her.

"Hey Jack. Um..T-thank you for t-trying to save Shawn. You're very brave." Rebecca blushed turning her head away from his gaze.

"No problem, Rebecca. Are you okay kid?" he said looking at him.

"Yeah. I am fine. Thanks." Shawn gave Jack a hug.

Nurm smiled at the sight along with the dad.

"We are just here to check up on Shawn. And I think we should go." he said about to get up.

"Oh no. You should stay for a while. We wanted to give you a favor and maybe eat with us." the dad said.

"Hmm?" Nurm asked.

"Yes really." Rebecca said.

They both looked at each other before Jack said,

"Sure."

"Great! Hey Nurm can you teach me some of your language I could try to understand?" Shawn asked taking out his notebook.

"Hmmm." Nurm nodded.

Shawn showed him the room as he followed.

Rebecca looked at him and he turned noticing her and she quickly looked down.

"Is it okay if I showed you my designs? I might need some opinions from you." she asked softly.

"Sure." he said.

They both went upstairs to her room.
