ZANE SIGHS DUE TO HOW HIS PINK GI LOOKS ON HIM.

Kai spins and looses balance due to the poison so I catch him.

—Kai: "Woah—! Hehe... pretty angel"

I sweat-drop and help him back up.

—Jay: "Ugh...It better wear off soon. For now, you're coming with me."

Jay takes Kai away from me.

The ninja skydive and manifest their vehicles while cheering—except for Kai who was screaming.

I decided to stay once more.

[...]

—Me: "You're back."

—Cole: "Yep~ Haha... whether it was in a lesson book or not, we used the destructive power of rumors to our advantage."

—Me: "That's good to know."

—Kai: "And now the Serpentine are further away than ever from getting their act together."

—Jay: "You know, I don't think we would've gotten out of there if it hadn't been for Zane."

—Zane: "Don't thank me. Thank Lloyd. If it hadn't been for his "laundry skills," we all would've been found."

They all laugh while I didn't say anything but still was slightly amused.

That's when Lloyd comes in with Zane's many Gi in color white.

—Lloyd: "Well, it took me twenty loads, but your suit's no longer pink. And to show that I'm sorry, Cole, I got you a can of nuts."

—Cole: "Uh, haha, yeah. Don't think I don't see what this is. When I open this, a bunch of snakes are gonna pop out, right? Yeah, no thank you."

Cole opens the fridge and many 'snakes' jump out as everyone—except for me laughs.

Lloyd pulled on my uniform and I looked down at him.

He looked at his feet shyly, bringing his hands in front from behind to show my dark red haori with green heart-shaped stitches on the places where holes were previously.

—Lloyd: "I-I did my best to fix it..."

I noticed his hands and fingers were full of plasters due to his inexperience in stitching.

I kneel down to his levels and pat his head.

—Me: "Thank you."

I SMILE AT HIM.

...

—Me: "...What?"

—Everyone: "[Y/N] SMILED!"

They all dramatically exclaimed.
