The Truth: A Ninjago story

Zane & Pixal

Part 5: Think really hard 

(Zane)

"How did you do it, Nya?" all eyes were on my body as I heard Pixal's fearful question "do what?" "give back the jay's power" I could only watch Nya's face as she turned to pixal completely confused "honestly... I don't know" this grew the attention of everyone else "what do you mean, you don't know?" "I mean I do know... when I transferred his power back I didn't know what I was doing" "great, we are doomed" everyone was freaking out except me for all I could hear was vaina and Harumi laughing as they rested near the wall "what where you think when you transferred his power's" Pixal's voice drew me back, it was clear and calm "I was thinking how bad his joke was...then I remember Zane asking me what my favorite color was?" "ha, I knew it: you did fall in love with jay when you first meet...oh vaina you owe me 5 dollars" skylor disappeared as Nya's heavy gaze followed her, but pixal mind was in a different place

(Pixal)

"so when you meet him?... I don't think that will help me as I remember I was cold torse Zane when we meet" "maybe it's not the moment you meet but fell in love with Zane" vaina's touch felt throughout our mind's (our's being the girl's) "skylor filled Harumi and me in... and really nya, that's the moment you fell for Jay" skylor's snicker and Nya's groan for reveling such information raised my spirits. Gathering all the courage I could afford, I took Zane's hand as he had done for me so many times; ignoring the confused complexion he gave me. When he had finally laid down and disappeared into his body I searched my memory log fining a moment in a trailer at a junkyard with an old lady and half a heart.

It was an odd feeling but one quite enjoyable. when I was whole and felt whole a large cloud of steam surround me, my first instincts were to find Pixal which wasn't very hard for I could hear her cough in a short distance I found her laying down with her panel opened; a soft blue light came from one side of her power source but on the other was a darker gray/blue color, her power. Seeing half of my heart seemed to have some power over me for I watch her like a hawk while she set herself straight, I had always known that one day I would say it verbally to her that I loved her but today wasn't that day no today was not for words but action, sliding my arm around her waist I slowly leaned in "what are you doing?" her voice was somewhat annoyed which made me hesitant, stepping back I answered "I was going to kiss you" "why... I thought you didn't trust me" "I do, but what has me trusting you to do with kissing you" "you kissing me would start a relationship, a relationship which should be started with us trusting each other" "when have I ever said I don't trust you"

"When you found out Harumi was alive and thought her to be mind-controlling us and we just found out that I was made for you to love how do you not know it it simply instinct kicking in" her eyes were filled with doubt as she riddle of reasons I shouldn't kiss her. she was angry and in her anger, she stormed off; away from the rest of us. as I watch her go, I could see the rest of the team standing watching us like we were a bad reality TV show.

When we came back to Destiny Beauty I only saw pixel from a distance knowing from nya that it was probably best to keep my distance until she was ready to talk, this was hell for me.

(Pixal)

"Hey, pix...what to talk about it?" "NO" I didn't mean to yell but the world didn't make sense right now and I was trying to find a cliff to climb on and find my footing "okay... but I wanted to ask one question. Did you love Zane before you got your powers?" Harumi's question wasn't a cliff but it was a bridge and that's all I needed. For she was right in theory would power would be the ones to draw us together and though I might have been made for him it was his choice to love me and I, him; What a fool I have been. I had loved him before that meddling old woman interfered with my mind and made me doubt his love.

Spinning around I could see him look sadly into the window's, somehow knowing what I needed Nya got up suddenly "Zane, I could use your help with dinner dishes" seeing Nya's mischief eyes, I soon after followed only to see Nya slip past me with Zane consumed in his thought at the sink. "Zane?" he whipped around so fast I could see small lines of light much like the ones created when doing spinjitzu. "Pixal" "I'm sorry Zane for freaking out, I realized that even though Zaya's intentions were for me to fall in love with you after I got the powers that I was alright in love with from the start ever since waking up to see half of your heart missing and though I can't really promise not to freak out on you again..." I hadn't realized that with each word I spoke he had gotten closer soon I was cut off by the soft skin-like exterior of his lip's I don't know how it was possible but my whole body seems to want to go limp or stiff from a buckle in my knee's. when both of us pulled away I couldn't help to want to pull him back in maybe I was too dazed not to "please forgive me I should have never said I don't trust you" "mmh" was all that I could answer before pulling his neck lower so I could kiss him back, now I felt human.
