Ninjago Perfect Match Bonus Scenes

Seven Minutes in Heaven-Cole

"Whose idea was this, anyway?" you demand. "No, wait, don't tell me, it was Cole."

"Why do you assume everything bad is Cole's fault?" Jay demands.

"Because it is!" you snap. "It was his idea, wasn't it?"

Jay sighs. "Fine, yes, it was Cole's idea."

"Hey, give it a try first!" Kai says. "It might be fun."

"Seven Minutes in Heaven is never fun," you reply with a scowl. "I always end up with someone I hate."

Zane shrugs. "Well, if you do not play, you will never break the cycle. The odds are four to one that you will get to spend time with someone you like."

From the opposite side of the room, Cole sighs. "Thanks for pointing out that y/n likes everyone but me, Zane."

Jay pokes his head out of the other room. "Hey, Cole, come put something in the box!"

"No cake," you warn. You've heard stories.

Cole sighs and grumbles, "Fine. I'll pick something else."

Kai laughs. "I just want to give you a big thank-you from every girl who's ever been in that closet with him."

"Yeah," Lloyd adds. "It got so bad, we started stocking napkins."

"All right, everybody!" Jay announces, holding up the box. "Y/n, you go first."

You glare at Cole. "How about no?"

Cole snickers at your discomfort. "How about yes?"

"Fine," you growl, sticking your hand into the box. "But you're gonna regret this." You feel around until you find a round, flat object. You pull it out, hold it at arm's length, and stare helplessly. There's silence, and then laughter.

"Cole, why?" you demand, pointing to the (favorite kind) cookie in your hand.

"You said no cake. That's not cake. I don't see your problem," Cole replies. Jay snorts loudly and Nya jabs him with her elbow.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," you reply. You take a bite of the cookie, gag, and spit into the garbage can. You hold the rest of the cookie at arm's length and drop it into the trash can as well. "Who let Cole cook?"

"All right, you two, in the closet," Kai says. "Try not to kill each other."

Cole shakes his head. "Oh, no. I am not going in the closet with her."

"Right back at you, Dirt Clod," you shoot back. "Can I have a do-over?"

Lloyd shakes his head. "Nope. Come on, y/n." Kai, Jay, and Lloyd drag you and Cole into the closet and close the door. You grab the handle and try to open it, but the others are holding it shut.

You scowl and fold your arms. "Great. Stuck in a small space with my own worst enemy."

Cole sighs and leans against the wall opposite you. "It's just seven minutes. You can be civil for seven minutes, right?"

"Can you?" you challenge. The only reply is silence.

"Fine," you mutter under your breath. "Be that way."

You scoot back against the wall opposite the one Cole is leaning against. Even though you and Cole are standing as far apart as possible within the confines of the cramped closet, you're still way too close to each other for comfort.

It occurs to you that Cole is probably regretting his decision to play Seven Minutes in Heaven. You snicker to yourself at the thought.

"Shut up." Cole says from the opposite corner.

"I didn't say anything!" You protest angrily.

"I don't care. Shut up."

"Fine," you mutter. "Dirt Clod."

"What did you call me?"

"Dirt...Clod," you repeat slowly. "You know, the name I've only been calling you since the day we met?"

Cole shrugs. "Oh. For a minute there, I thought you'd actually come up with something new."

"Why make something new when the old stuff works just fine?" you challenge. "If it isn't broken, don't fix it."

"Then why has nobody fixed you?" Cole replies.

"Because, unlike you, I'm not broken," you reply triumphantly.

Outside, a timer rings. "Aww!" someone groans. "And just when it was getting good, too!"

You and Cole both glare at the door and yell, "I heard that!"

"Run, dude," another voice says. There's the sound of pattering feet, then silence.

"I get first dibs," Cole mutters. You punch his shoulder.

(A bit lame, I know. I was kind of at a loss for stuff to do this week, so you guys get this.

Don't forget to leave requests for stuff I could do in this book! Questions for the author, questions for the characters, and requests for new story segments are all fair game!)
