Au where Geo didn't leave Shintaro and met Cole during MoM
---------------------------
"Letter to Cole, from Shintaro," The postman stated, handing the Earth Ninja the envelope.
As it was exchanged between hands, the Ninja noticed the seal was shaped like a heart.
Cole opened it, the smell of cake popping out of the parchment. He smiled, his cheeks darkening as he read the letter, making the team exchanged glances.
"Letter from Vania?" Kai asked with a smirk, "You seem pretty happy."
Cole raised an eyebrow, looking up at Fire. "Me and Vania are just friends, Kai. You know this."
"Whatever you say man."
---------------------------
The letters to and from Shintaro became weekly- sometimes even three times a week. Little gifts were also sent; one time Cole received a small dragon plush, which currently sat on his desk in his room.
All of the letters Cole sent were hidden somewhere in his room, away from the prying eyes of his teammates.
However, every time they asked about him and Vania, he would deny any romance, stating firmly that the Queen was simply 'just a friend'.
On one occasion, Lloyd walked into the living room to find Cole sketching. Usually, he would let the group take a peek at his work, but when Lloyd got close, Cole shut the sketchbook, diverting the conversation to the show on the TV.
"Okay, he is definitely going out with Vania," Nya stated after Lloyd relayed the encounter to the group.
"Agreed, he is terrible at hiding it," Jay said.
"I wonder why he is refusing to tell us, though," Zane pointed out, "Why would he try to hide his relationship in the first place?"
"Maybe he's worried we'll tease him?" Lloyd offered.
"Perhaps Vania isn't ready to announce their relationship to the public," Pixal added, "She is a queen after all."
"But the people of Shintaro love Cole? He literally got a statue built there," Kai said.
"It doesn't matter, we just have to show him he doesn't have to hide anything from us."
---------------------------
"Cole, you have connections to Shintaro, correct?"
"Yes, Master."
Kai smiled at how Cole's face glowed softly as he spoke.
"Good, if we get a message to Queen Vania, then perhaps we could get some outside help."
Vinny then stepped up, pitching using the news tower, and Blazey offered her driving skills.
"Alright, you three send the message," Wu instructed, "Kai, stay here and help Skylor with the survivors."
As Cole prepared to leave, Kai tapped his shoulder.
"What's up?"
He pulled Cole into a hug. "Stay safe, okay?"
Cole smiled, hugging back, "I will, don't worry."
Kai then stepped back, nodding and giving Cole a slap on the back.
"I know, now go get your partner!"
Cole rolled his eyes, "Sure, I can do that."
---------------------------
The Ninja joined everyone on the ground, the Resistance cheering and celebrating as the Council were chained up.
Cole looked around, searching the crowd for someone.
"Vania's over there, Cole," Nya chuckled, pointing to the Monarch, who was standing with the Upply and a few munce and geckles.
Cole's face lit up, and the Ninja laughed warmly as he rushed over to the Shintarians.
Then Vania stepped to the side, and Cole leapt into the arms of a tall purple munce, who had been standing behind her.
The Upply and Vania smiled as the munce swung Cole around, before setting him down and giving him a small peck on the lips.
Cole rolled his eyes, grabbing at his red coat and pulling him into a deeper kiss, the munce cupping his face.
Once he was satisfied, Cole turned to Vania, taking her hands and thanking her for her help. He then greeted the Upply, with Korgan giving him a bone-crushing hug. Cole laughed as he was released, stumbling into the munce, whose hand went to hold his waist.
Wu chuckled, and the Ninja turned to face him.
"What's so funny Uncle?"
"It appears the six of you jumped to conclusions," He smiled with a twinkle in his eye.
Cole's voice rang through the air. "Guys, this is Geo, my boyfriend."
They looked back, being greeted with Cole smiling wickedly at them, while Vania cackled in the background.
