Milly grinned widely at Emily's answer because she knew that the other girl loved to hear her stories whenever they got to hang out together. Agreeing that she didn't want to worry her mother, she could get real grumpy when she worried, Milly leaned forward and kissed her friend on the cheek...

''Whether they mix well doesn't matter anyway when you're having fun,'' Milly countered. She knew that her friend wasn't wrong about it, and it was probably way too dangerous too. Still, it would be nice to see more of Emily rather than this every-once-in-a-while thing they had going on at the...

''Oh, you know, the usual,'' Milly said with a slight shrug, trying to sound as casual and cool about it as possible. Searching the underground tunnels of the ancient Aztec city proved a lot easier than some of her jobs in the past, though that didn't make it less booby-trapped. Still, she...

Milly thought about it for a moment. What would even be the ideal time to visit a museum? Normally, she'd just meet up after dark but with them going to a museum, she doubted that it would still be open after dark. And since this was a date, they obviously couldn't go in the morning. Only...

Milly chuckled. She could understand wanting to get away from home life. She loved her brothers and sister but they could be very annoying at times and Milly did not always want to be the one to babysit them - she had better things to do these days. ''I need to run some errands for my parents...

Happy with the fact that it seemed like Emily was opening up a little more, she watched her friend intently, almost finding herself getting lost in her eyes. ''That's awesome,'' she said. ''Does she work at a museum as a curator?'' She didn't know who was curating the exhibition they'd see for...

Milly couldn't help but be surprised when Emily moved to put a finger to her lip. She didn't necessarily mind it, it was just very unlike her friend to do that. In the months that they had become close friends, she always got the impression that Emily was a very reserved person. Deciding that...

Milly smiled when she finally got the answer she wanted to hear. ''That's great, I am already looking forward to it!'' she exclaimed with a bright smile. ''Well, I don't know if you like museums or not, but there is an exhibition going on that seemed interesting. We could go to that together?''...

Milly listened carefully as Emily began to answer her question, shifting in her seat to properly face her friend. It actually surprised her that Emily was telling her about her previous relationship because it was a lot more than she had expected for such an innocent question. When she finished...

''Why not?'' Milly said, giving Emily a questioning look. Was Emily really that surprised that Milly wanted to go on a date with her? She had given her friend plenty of hints that, to anyone paying attention, were very obvious. But, while she didn't fully understand what was so difficult to...

To be frank, it wasn't the reaction Milly thought she'd get out of Emily when gifting her the ancient text, but it wasn't bad either. At least she said that she loved it, which Milly believed. She shrugged. ''I genuinely thought that you might like something like this, that's why I brought it...

In her excitement, Milly had completely forgotten to sit down next to Emily, so while her friend was inspecting the ancient text of Nahuatl script, she sat down on the chair next to her. ''I thought that you might be interested in something like this,'' she said, patiently trying to gauge...

Milly grinned. ''Aren't you happy that this certain someone is back earlier than she's supposed to?'' She let go of her friend and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. ''I could send word like a normal person, but that wouldn't be very fun, would it? I also wouldn't be able to surprise you...

''Hold your horses,'' Milly said, laughing at Emily's reaction of raising her book as a weapon. ''It's just me.'' She made a mental note not to forget that Emily could be startled easily, just in case she needed it for pranks in the future. ''And I wasn't sneaking up on you, you were too...

Milly had been away for a couple of months now, searching the deep tunnels beneath the ancient Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan for treasures she could bring back for her work. Normally, she would have said no to such a job given that these tunnels were literally centuries old, but the ancient...
