Liv's Pov 

"Liv? Are you crying?" Mike's voice suddenly echoed behind me.

"Um... no... *sniff*" I uttered.

Yeah, yeah I know. I'm crying.

"Are you sure?" He said again. Under my tears, I could see Peter taking out a packet of tissue.

"It's just that... E has been a great part of my life since kindergarten... and now... just look at my BFFA (Best friend forever after). She's all grown up now." I couldn't control my tears.

"Oh no come on now!" Peter squeaked with his unusual tone.

"Mike, help please.... I... I am very clueless here... especially when a girl cries!!" He whispered so loudly until I couldn't stop laughing at it.

"Huh? What are you laughing at? Liv!"

I totally ignored him as I continued giggling about to the hilarious joke that he was saying.

"You-you-you don't know how to react when a girl cries!!" I'm still cracking about and couldn't control my laughter anymore. I never know that he was so scared of a girl crying! Even after knowing him for so long!

"I demand you to stop right now! It's not like you don't have anything to be scared of." Now he was really angry. I never seen him like that anywhere. His face was blazing red. His eyes looked a bit darker emerald than usual.

"Ok, ok. I'll stop. Geez. You don't have to be so nasty, Grumpy." Wait, am I starting to be like E? I think I am starting to call Peter nicknames as well.

"Oh boy not you too." And then, he just walk off from us.

Mike's POV

After sending off Elsa to her destination, we were driving back to L.A., spending the next few days in our rented car (Let's just assume that they are legal to drive in this place). All we could do for Elsa is to wish her luck. And the rest is up to her now. Actually I don't think she needs luck. She could just pull off the battle as easy as 1 2 3, a b c.

Do you know how delighted I was when I first saw our rented car? It is a cranberry coloured SUV, with super comfortable leather seats. The radio is placed on the display panels in front and there is also a mini TV (!!!!!) on the the display panels!!!! How cool is that! What's even cooler is that this SUV is all constructed from the latest technology!

The side mirrors can be adjusted by the buttons on the driver's hand rest. The radio can be tuned using the buttons on the steering wheel to control the radio channels or the volumes. And it even comes with electronic curtains at the back windows!!! Furthermore, it's speed was thrice as fast as my Mom's salon car!!! Sweet!

Liv was at the driver's seat, Peter was at the back seat, while I was beside Liv, at the passenger's seat. Just looking at the view from my seat makes me, for the first time, so overwhelming and the interest of having more outdoor activities instead of staying behind my closed doors, inventing some other machinery. Oh, did I mention that I love to invent things? When I have the free time, everyone would expect me to be in my laboratory...

(Cuts off by Liv)
**nothing to do with the chapter, just adding a little fun to it**

Convo between Liv and Mike

Liv: Mike! Please just stop telling everyone that you transformed your bedroom into a laboratory! It's not even a laboratory!

Mike: What? I didn't even intend to tell the readers that! And THAT IS a laboratory!

Liv: Oh come on now!! I...Um... Mike. I think you should stop now...

Mike: Why should I? You are the... (realisation of readers reading that already) oh... hey... how... you... doing... Just give me a sec... (shouts at Liv) Liv!!!! You just told the WHOLE WORLD about this!!!

Liv: Well... you can't say the whole world... I mean *pherf* not the whole world is reads this.

Mike: Liv! Not helping here!

Moving on...

Everyone would expect me to be in my laboratory (stares at Liv) all day long until I finished my own projects the day itself. I can say that I'm a mechanic geek in the our squad. I just find all different kinds of machinery to 'entertain' myself, if you could put it that way. And now, this machinery has again attracts me to find out more about that SUV and it's specialties.

We were so lucky to have a perfectly good excuse to skip school to support Elsa... but then again... not always there will be all the positive things in one day. We didn't expect our money to fly away just like that. We had to save up our meals just to pay for the car fuels! With a heavy heart, I had to take out my last bit of cash to the cash register of the petrol station as my stomach is still grueling out of hunger (as apparently both my friends here are 'bankrupt'). Who knew car fuels could be so expensive!

Cuts off by Liv one more time

Liv: Hey it isn't my fault that we spent our savings on... EVERYTHING ok?

Mike: You sure? Because I clearly remember you dragging us to shop for clothes before heading home.

Liv: You still can't blame me! I... don't have any more clothes already

Mike: God, Liv! Really? You have A WHOLE LUGGAGE ALL TO YOURSELF!!!!

Liv: Geez, Michael. Don't need to shout at me like that.

Still moving on...
The fuel tank indicator immediately lit up to indicate that the fuel tank was full. At least one of us are full, I joked. I patted the car's shinny cranberry metal and went back in the car.

And just like that, we had our times to drive our way home.

A/N:
Hi my friends! I'm so sad that this is the last chapter I'm going to write for this amazing book. I gave you a cliffhanger right? Sorry, I had to. Specially made this chap mainly for the perspective of Mike to better understand his personality. Please follow me if you haven't, and you will get the latest update of the sequel. Thank you! Love you always!
