Henry's P.O.V.

Going with Ray to City Hall had been a complete waste of time, because the Vice Mayor wanted us to inform us that during the Great Cactus Con, the most poisonous cactus in the world would be there... it's great, I know, but I would have preferred a thousand times to stay at Kai's house and spend time with her, and with her brothers who are amazing, incredible, did I say amazing? Her siblings and with her family in general, at that fascinating and fun party, more than with the Vice Mayor.

The truth is I was having fun, her brothers are extremely fun, and they love me. I feel like if I became Kai's boyfriend, her siblings, along with mine, would be able to party every day because of that, it would be the most incredible thing in the damn universe, and she's so... so... beautiful, so intelligent, so funny, she is simply perfect, her eyes, her smile...

"Hey, Kid," Ray spoke, taking me out of my thoughts, "what do you want, Princess Pizza or King Cupcake?"

I looked at him confused "Huh? What?"

Ray rolled his eyes. "Princess Pizza or King Cupcake?"

"What are you talking about?".

"Kid!" Ray shouted, drawing everyone's attention. "Stop thinking about Kai! PRINCESS PIZZA OR KING CUPCAKE!"

From one moment to the next, everyone around us stared at us.

"Who is Kai?" asked the guy at the counter.

I looked at Ray worried, trying to find some excuse to hide who Kai was, I couldn't say 'Ah! Yes, the girl I like, yes, her.' Just no

"She's...huh...a princess? Of...huh...–."

Princess, seriously Ray? well...yes she was, seriously yes she was.

"...prince Fuh'ard's sister," Ray finished, "and she wanted to go out with Kid Danger," he laughed nervously, "crazy girl, isn't it Kid?" he hit me on the shoulder.

I copied his gesture "Ah, yes, Captain Man" now I laughed nervously "pretty... crazy girl but... yes."

The guy at the counter looked at us both with a blank look on his face, and a huge discomfort invaded our atmosphere, but what can I say, we are the most incredible at lying our way out of problems that got out of control from time to time.

"Cupcake King or Pizza Princess?" Ray asked again.

Difficult decision "Cupcake King" I answered.

"A Pizza Princess and a Cupcake King," Ray said to the guy at the counter.

Well, getting back to the main topic, after having gone with the Vice Mayor, Ray seriously wanted to go to Burger Castle, he insisted that he should collect all the new toys that the Enchanted Box brought, I don't blame him, I'm missing 2, and it's worth mentioning that we still had our Captain Man and Kid Danger costumes.

"I'll be right back."

The guy at the counter left, leaving Ray and I standing there at the counter, so we just moved to the side.

"I saved your problem Kid," Ray said looking at his phone. "Thanks to me, no one knew about Kai... princess Kai Fuh'ard."

"Yes, you were the one who said her name and stop saying it like she was really a Fuh'ard."

He snorted, "Whatever you say. Anyray, did you tell her?"

"No," I answered, "and I'm not going to tell her yet."

He started laughing "You said you wanted to take her to Cactus Con, you're not going to get her if you don't tell her" he looked back at her phone.

I clicked my tongue, "I know."

"I also remember that you've been planning to tell her since she found out you were Kid Danger."

I clicked my tongue again, "I know that too."

"Well that means, you don't have the guts to tell her."

And that was so true, I mean, I had seriously planned on telling Kai that... I had feelings for her ever since she found out that I was Kid Danger, and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't, I don't have the guts.

For her, I am her best friend and she is mine, but I wouldn't want to have a friendship with her alone, and I realized that because of the way she cares about me, and on the other hand, I wouldn't want to ruin my friendship with her. Also, when we kiss it's as if our entire environment stops and it's just her and me.

I'm not going to lie, I asked Jasper to invoke challenge last week, although in my defense I hadn't planned the kiss, I just had something minor in mind, something like locking us in the elevator or... I don't know, but when She invoked a kiss, it was as if my sensory memory was activated immediately, feeling her lips on mine again, who would have thought that just that happened.

"No, I don't have guts," I agreed.

Ray rolled his eyes and groaned, "We know, you're a great superhero but you can't tell a girl you like her."

"As if you hadn't had that problem."

"I'm Ray Manchester, a.k.a Captain Man, I was born beautiful and with charms, they come begging me, just make her fall in love with your charms, oh right, you don't have any."

That was the most self-absorbed sentence he had ever heard in my entire life. And terrible.

"Great advice, man, thanks," I said sarcastically as I walked a little further away.

"Arghh, it was a joke" Ray walked over to where she was "Listen, seriously, just invite her to the Great Cactus Con, eat Cactus ice cream, Cactus Jerky, and try to send her signals."

"Sending signals to her is the only thing I've ever done."

Looking at her, smiling at her all the time, accompanying her to her house, I did it involuntarily, of course, until Charlotte told me that it was very obvious, and that those actions were as if I were giving her signs.

"So..." he looked around to avoid anyone hearing us "...Kai may be good with computers and tracking criminals, but to pick up on your signals" he made that strange smile he makes and shook his head slightly. head, "good luck, Kid."

Ray was right, she was brilliant, but I would have to try a little harder to make her realize that I like her, but more than anything, I would have to come up with a plan to find out if she feels the same way about me, because any move in false, it could ruin our entire friendship.
