I was working in the lab. So much was going through my head right now. I stopped for a second and rubbed my eyes. I wasn't tired, I was wondering what I really should be doing. Mira came up behind me. "Its her again, isn't it?" I spun around to her. "What are you implying, Mira?" She sighed. "Don't act like you don't know, Point-Dexter." I had a million nicknames in this town. "You mean, Noel?" I said, not really looking at her. She leaned her back against the computer terminal, like she always does. She was always the older sister in my life. She said, "You really like her, don't you?" I looked at her. She smiled. "Yeah, you really do like her. Its written all over your face." I hung my head. "Hey, I'm not bagging on you Dex. Why don't you ask her out, or something?" I looked away.
"Why would she be interested in me?" I half muttered. "Are you kidding me? You are wicked smart, you're the freaking Boy Genius! Jimmy Neutron got nothing on you! You've fought monsters! You deal with a raging ten year old girl at least twice a month! You saved Noel's life, for crying out loud! AND, if I may say, you are a muscular little tyke for someone who stays cooped up in his lab all day. The worst thing that could happen is that she could say No." I said nothing. I thought about it. "You see, that's your problem right there." I looked at her, confused. "You think too much, sometimes you need to just shut your head off and do what feels right." Technically it is impossible to shut off your brain, it works day and night to keep bodily functions working. If you shut off your brain, you die; Although I see her point.
"I'll remember that Mira." She nodded and left.
At that time she left and I heard Alice and Noel talking. After they entered they called out after me. "Dex! Dexter! We're ready to go into That Little Red Head of yours!" I chuckled a little, as she stumbled over what she said, trying to get it right. "I get what your saying, Noel. I'll be down there in a second." I finished my report on my latest experiment, saved the report on a file, and went off to find the girls.
