"Oh, that would be awesome! There's not really rules against that, as long as you at least join the internship, you're allowed to be there and working on code. I've been trying to get Emmett to join the internship for ages!" "Maybe I can finally get you to join if Ray joins!" "How awesome would that be? Could you imagine? The three of us working at GSS?" 'Yes, how awesome', he thought with a grin on his face. At least that meant he would get more time to be around her.
But before he got the chance to speak out his delight someone caught Journeys attention. Rays smile froze from one moment to another. It wasn't just because of what Lennon had said. First and foremost it was because of the look on his face. If Journey could see it she surely wouldn't agree to go with him. But sadly she couldn't- Lennon, of course, just had used the moment when she had turned her back to him for a few seconds.
Suddenly there were a bunch of words bubbling out of Journeys mouth. To be honest a lot more than usual. But no real questions, just a sign of her excitement. At the moment Ray was glad that she didn't really want him or Emmett to give her answers. He was sure his answers might get ambiguous because of his own hertstrings.
"Did Journey just get asked out?! On a DATE?!" Ray looked at his friend. "Yes!", was all he was able to say at the first moment. His voice sounded a bit angry, his eyes looked like he wanted to use them as laser-beams to burn that guy who just had escorted Journey out of the room. "Hey, who does he think he is?! Maybe he always asked pretty girls for dinner because he thinks nerds are easy meat!" He satrted to talk himself into a rage. "Believe me, buddy - if he hurts her I'll hurt him!" He even clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth. His whole body language showed his dislike of the situation.

"Hey, who does he think he is?! Maybe he always asked pretty girls for dinner because he thinks nerds are easy meat!" "Believe me, buddy - if he hurts her I'll hurt him!"
Easy meat? Emmett was self aware that he could be a little bit of a pushover at times when someone with a bigger personality came along, but he never thought of himself competitively in that way when it came to being up against other guys and getting girls. He simply figured that when the right girl would come along one of these days, they would 'click' and it would be destiny. As for Ray, Emmett noticed he was reacting in a negative fashion in his shock as his hands began to ball into clenched fists.
"You seem rather tense, dude. Journey's got a good sense of judgement and can be real tough when she wants to be, trust me. I'm sure she'll be...," Emmett was trying to console his friend when realization swept across his face, "...Hold the phone. Are you...jealous?" Emmett questioned Ray with widened eyes. He had a feeling that his friend fancied Journey, though he didn't understand one thing: if he did like her that way, when why hasn't he just asked her out? But it was clear that Ray hadn't, and let someone else swoop in to capture Journey's heart before he even had a chance.

"You seem rather tense, dude. Journey's got a good sense of judgement and can be real tough when she wants to be, trust me. I'm sure she'll be...," That was Emmett to a tee. Always doing his best to deescalate situations. But then something on his face changed - now he's got the point! "...Hold the phone. Are you...jealous?" Suddenly Ray felt nervous and a bit insecure. At the moment he was far away from his normal attitude. "Um, what? Nah," he tried to play down the issue. But then he resigned with a deep sigh and sagging shoulders. "Can you do me a favor, dude? Not a single word to anyone about this, okay?" A second sigh. "Let me get this straight. I... like her, that's right - but not that much that my last girlfriend was pissed because she thought I'd always think of somebody else when I was kissing her..." That was a lie. He had thought of someone else - and yep, it had been Journey! Ray shook his head and gave a third sigh. Normally he didn't act like this. There were very few people who had ever seen his vulnerable side. To be honest Emmett was the only one.

Emmett was gleaming with glee with a dash of amusement at Ray's expense. It was no secret that he had feelings for Journey. Would he ever gather the courage to ask her out? Those details were unknown to Emmett, and in fact he would much rather watch how things played out than to press his friend to do what he was afraid to do. Yes, there were costs to asking her out such as risking a good friendship, and not to mention their friendship circle as a whole. Looking at Ray, Emmett raised a single hand up to his own lips and glided them across in a zipping motion, "My lips area sealed," Emmett chimed in the same tune that mimicked the famous song from the 80's, "Now are you still up for some food or what?" Emmett joshed, playfully poking his best friend's side.

"My lips area sealed," One second ago Ray had felt very uncomfortable but now, watching Emmett acting that way, he had to chuckle. "Now are you still up for some food or what?" "Hey, you should know that I'm always up for some food after a good Jump'n'Run," he answered and poked him back.
For a moment he was tempted to suggest trying to catch up with Journey and her date. But then he cast away that idea. It might be the best to not spy on her. Because if she would notice him doing so she would surely think that he was a Freak - a real Freak! And maybe she would also quit their friendship... In the end there was too much to loose. It wasn't worth the risk.
"Okay Doc," he continued their talk and gave his friend a pat on the shoulder, "what do you think about some good old Fast Food? I think I need a little alternation from the canteen." It was just a rhetorical question. Ray wanted to stretch his legs and leave the University for a while. "Oh, and one thing - you have to do me a favor, pal: If Journey wants to talk about her... date... later you should be the one who has a sympathetic ear for her. I'm not that good in talking about these things." The way he emphasized the word 'date' showed clearly his thoughts about this one thing. Besides he couldn't guarantee that he won't give her false advises in order to sabotage her next date. The sting of jealousy was a loose cannon...

"Okay Doc," "what do you think about some good old Fast Food? I think I need a little alternation from the canteen."
Emmett's eyes lit up at the suggestion that Ray had made. He rubbed his hands in delight at all of the options that swirled around in his head, though a few cravings stood out above the rest. Ray was right, they were definitely in need of a change of scenery. Emmett was all in for the idea, "As long as it involves a triple milkshake and my favorite burger done animal style, I'm in!" Nodding his head, Emmett grew in agreeance with his friend, "You driving? I call shot gun! Oh wait...it's just the two of us anyways." Emmett chuckled as they began to make their way towards the exit.
"Oh, and one thing - you have to do me a favor, pal: If Journey wants to talk about her... date... later you should be the one who has a sympathetic ear for her. I'm not that good in talking about these things."
Emmett was understanding of the situation. It was complicated, tricky even. He would be up for the job, no matter what - for both Journey and for Ray, "You got it dude. Don't sweat it one bit...Did you want me to report back to you with any sort of intel? Deets even?" Emmett did not like drama, nor was he one to play two sides. But he cared for both of his friends and if there was anything he could do to help or ease a conscience, Emmett would do it out of the goodness of his own heart.

"As long as it involves a triple milkshake and my favorite burger done animal style, I'm in!" Ray has to smile. "Of course, my friend - everything you want. And if it's out I'll incite them until they'll give you one." He tried his best to look like an angry debt-collector.
"You driving? I call shot gun! Oh wait...it's just the two of us anyways." "Um,... yes. Just us. Let's go!" No jokes this time. Because he felt a bit like someone had thrown cold water on his hopes. But he didn't take offense at this point. Emmett didn't want to rub salt into the wound.
"You got it dude. Don't sweat it one bit...Did you want me to report back to you with any sort of intel? Deets even?" "Well,... I think... some deets. Just that ones that are revealing, you know", he answered. It was obvious that he wasn't sure about what he wanted to know and what not. The situation was complicated. And using Emmett to tell him everything what Journey would tell him in private felt like being the bad guy in this story. "Doc, I trust you. I'm sure you'll know what to tell and when to keep in silence. Journey is our friend. It wouldn't be fair to spy her. And, to be honest, I think I don't want to hear every little detail..."

"That's fair," Emmett nodded, not wanting to play double agent with his friends. The last thing he wanted was for anyone to get hurt. He hopped along in front of Ray, leading the way to the exit as they continued their conversation, "So anyways, what do you think you're going to get? Your usual, or are you feeling a little spicy today and gonna switch things up?!" Emmett asked, doing his friend a favor in changing the subject.

"That's fair," If somebody else had asked to question Journey about her date Ray maybe would have agreed. But not Emmett. His friend was the nicest guy he knew and he didn't want him to act like that.
"So anyways, what do you think you're going to get? Your usual, or are you feeling a little spicy today and gonna switch things up?!" And as if he wanted to proove his thoughts Emmett managed to change the subject without making one of them feeling awkward. Ray answered him with a big grin on his face and a waggish twinkle in his eyes. "You know what, pal?! You're right. It's time to act unusual today. Let's try the most spiciest meal they can offer to us! I'm dying to know if we could handle it or not. In the end everyone might call us milksops..." Ray was sure his friend would get the joke. If the food will be too hot they would need a lot of milk to cure their mouths.

Emmett's eyes widened, sporting an amused grin as his friend talked about indulging in something new. Now, that's what he was talking about! For a moment, they could forget about their relationship troubles and strifes of life to enjoy the simple things - friendship and food, "Hey, if we can handle the 2X spicy noodle challenge at Noodle Road, we can do anything!! Remember when you shot milk out of your nose when we did that?! Hi-larious," Emmett chuckled shaking his head as the hilariously fond memory came forward. The boys exited the Rec center to embark on a food adventure.

*** Ray, Journey and Emmett enter from the Dining Hall ***
Obviously Journey was good in escaping awkward situations just as well than normally being a social butterfly.
They all kept silence while the three were heading to the Recreation Centre. Ray broke the silence just before they arrived. He inwardly begged that Lennon wasn't there today. But that was not the only reason why he suddenly stopped before they entered the room.
"Wait a moment, guys," he requested. He waited until the others had stopped and gave him their attention. "I didn't know that you also have contact with Morrigan, Journey. I mean... it's okay, it's your call. But I've heard she normally has no friends or something like that. Although I had to admit that I like her spooky look and her 'deal with it'- attitude."

Journey had been unusually quiet on her walk to the Recreation Center. Her mind kept replaying the odd interaction with Morrigan, and the more she replayed it, the harder it was to ignore that slightly uncomfortable feeling that had been an underlying factor the whole time. She felt guilty for feeling that way, as if she was unfairly judging someone she hardly knew.
But still, the feeling persisted. Morrigan spoke her mind. She couldn't fault her for that. Journey did so as well, just in a different way. So Morrigan knew what she wanted, and went for it. That's admirable, wasn't it? Just because she and Journey didn't want the same things, it didn't make it fair for her to feel uncomfortable, did it?
"Well, she's not a total stranger," Journey said, immediately jumping to the defense of someone as she usually did. "I mean, we've never spoken before just a bit ago," she said, gesturing in the general direction of the cafeteria, "but we do have Computer Science together. I think she's more of an introvert and you know me; always busy talking to everyone. I just hadn't gotten to her yet," she said in a jokingly self deprecating manner.
"And yah, she totally does have a really cool look!" she said in enthusiastic agreement. "And when she wants something, she's not afraid to really go for it. You've gotta admire the bravery in that." Journey put on a smile to back up her belief in that, hiding any notion of that uncomfortable feeling under the surface she felt wasn't warranted. She reached up and tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear. It was such a simple, normal gesture to move one's hair out of their face, but to anyone who really knew her, it was a tell that something was bothering her.

"And yah, she totally does have a really cool look!" "And when she wants something, she's not afraid to really go for it. You've gotta admire the bravery in that."
Emmett noticed Journey's body language that spoke of uncomfortability. Something was nagging on her brain, and he didn't want to push her out into the open. Instead, Emmett did what he usually did and went with the flow as he nodded in agreement with what his best friend was proclaiming, "It's admirable when those who have an opinion speak their mind. They make a difference in this world, whether people like them or not," He nodded, giving Journey a look of understanding before changing the subject, "So! Mario World...didn't end up as planned like we had hoped for the first time. Are we ready to dive back in? Or does anyone have any second thoughts? Suggestions? I would love to hear them!" Emmett exclaimed as he was ready to dive back into the action.

"Well, she's not a total stranger," "I mean, we've never spoken before just a bit ago, but we do have Computer Science together. I think she's more of an introvert and you know me; always busy talking to everyone. I just hadn't gotten to her yet," Ray still had the feeling that Journey tried to hide something she was feeling uncomfortable with. But he wasn't sure. Her words stood to reason. "And yah, she totally does have a really cool look!" "And when she wants something, she's not afraid to really go for it. You've gotta admire the bravery in that." Everything seemed to be alright. But then Journey did her 'hair-thing'. Although Ray and her hadn't spent much time in the past he had studied her at a distance. Something wasn't that right as she tried to make them (and maybe even herself) believe. "It's admirable when those who have an opinion speak their mind. They make a difference in this world, whether people like them or not," Ray just nodded. There was no need to get deeper into that topic now.
And Emmett obviously felt that way, too. He suddenly changed their topic to something that was important for them now. "So! Mario World...didn't end up as planned like we had hoped for the first time. Are we ready to dive back in? Or does anyone have any second thoughts? Suggestions? I would love to hear them!" "Well, I'm not sure if my hacking-skills are good enough to get into the OASIS when this bug shows up again... And I fear that we could get caught. I don't want to be banned because I'd do something wrong - it might be difficult to explain that we did it to find out if anybody else is doing something very wrong..." Suddenly he had to grin because he noticed his own trains of thought. "Normally in cases like that we just should call out to a gamemaster... But I first think about our own possibilities even if they're a bit illegal, hah!" Then he got serious again. "What about cameras? Did you guys have one with you? Last time I recorded our session - but I hadn't been the one who ended up in that 'glich-bug-whatever'. If we're all recording and it happens again we could try to analyze that scene later together."

"So! Mario World...didn't end up as planned like we had hoped for the first time. Are we ready to dive back in? Or does anyone have any second thoughts? Suggestions? I would love to hear them!"
"Ready to carry on as planned!" she reassured with extra gusto, knowing that it was her they were mostly concerned with as she'd been the one to get caught up in the glitch.
..."Normally in cases like that we just should call out to a gamemaster... But I first think about our own possibilities even if they're a bit illegal, hah!"
Journey was protective of the OASIS and didn't like anyone outside of the company messing around with her baby. But she knew that Ray was coming from a place of wanting to do so with the intention of fixing something that had gone wrong with her baby, rather than the usual selfish, self-serving reasons of most hackers. Feigning a playful, exaggerated seriousness, Journey looked at Ray and said, "Hey now! Remember, I'm on their payroll. You do any hacking, I'm gonna have to take you in."
"What about cameras? Did you guys have one with you? Last time I recorded our session - but I hadn't been the one who ended up in that 'glich-bug-whatever'. If we're all recording and it happens again we could try to analyze that scene later together."
But he veered toward serious again. He seemed to be taking the glitch personally even though it had happened to her. Her head tilted slightly as she studied him, something in the back of her consciousness trying to piece together a logical conclusion as to why he was so bothered. Years of living under the misinterpreted belief that he avoided her because he found her personality annoying left her clueless to the truth.
"Hey, it's alright," she reassured with a gentle hand on his arm, having come to the conclusion that he was worried about Emmett or himself getting caught up in another glitch, or simply, dealing with an annoying wrench in their mission. "I looked into it as soon as I got back into work." She glanced toward Emmett now. "It was a little hiccup in the coding, that's all. Easy fix. I even checked out our next level for any coding issues or bugs, and we're all clear. Now come on. We've got another level to kick the ass of."
Journey passed her reassuring smile between the boys, then enthusiastically started walking again, putting it all behind them and moving forward, literally and figuratively.
