Ninjago Perfect Match Bonus Scenes

Chapter Annotation

(Yep, I decided to give chapter annotation a try. This one is "You Fight" from the Kai scenario. I've got the full chapter, here, along with my comments in italics. Tell me what you think, and don't forget to leave requests for stuff I could do in this book. I'm all ears!)

(Fun fact: this chapter was originally going to be called "He Meets Your Friend." I actually almost kept the name after I finished to give you guys a nasty surprise, but I'm not quite that mean.)

You're sleeping over at b/f/n's house. B/f/n invited you over to sleep at her place because your parents were fighting with each other again. (My more observant readers have probably noticed the multiple references to y/n's parents fighting. This actually leads up to something I've been planning since the very beginning, which as of now isn't too far off. {Spoiler alert!})

You walk in with your sleeping bag and toothbrush and look around b/f/n's bedroom. "Maybe I should just live here," you joke. "I spend enough time here..."

B/f/n sighs. "Your parents are gonna figure things out eventually, y/n," she promises. "You've just gotta be patient."

"Patience was never my thing," you remind her.

B/f/n rolls her eyes. "How could I forget?" (Yep, y/n shares my basic lack of patience. Other than that, though, I've discovered that she's pretty levelheaded in most situations. Another thing I've noticed about her is that when she's really determined to do something, it usually ends up happening. Don't mess with y/n!)

You and b/f/n are both startled by tapping at b/f/n's window. B/f/n peeks out and shrieks in surprise.

"Y/n..." she gasps. "There's somebody outside my window!"

You look out the window as well. It's too dark to see the person's face, but you know who it is. You turn around and wink at b/f/n. "Watch this."

As soon as the person outside starts tapping the window again, you yank the window open, grab his wrist and pull, sending him sprawling onto b/f/n's floor. (Oh, y/n also knows how to take care of herself. Lack of ninja training does not equal helpless person.)

"Hey!" Kai protests, sitting up. "What was that for?"

"That," you say, folding your arms, "was for almost giving my friend a heart attack. B/f/n, this is my boyfriend, Kai. Kai, this is b/f/n."

"Wait," b/f/n frowns. "I could barely even see him. How did you know it was your friend?"

You grin and point at Kai's head. "I'd know this crazy hair anywhere." (It's all fun and games until someone brings the hair into it...)

"Y/n, my hair isn't crazy, or weird, or anything else you've called it!" Kai protests.

"It looks like there's a hedgehog on your head," you tell him.

"Well, that's your opinion!"

B/f/n throws her hands up. "Okay, okay, I have a few questions."

You look over at b/f/n. "Go ahead."

"First of all, will you guys please stop arguing? And second, why is Kai Smith outside my window in the middle of the night?"

You look at Kai. "I was just wondering the same thing myself." (This conversation already had kind of a nasty edge to it {in my opinion, anyway} while I was writing it, but this was what pushed things over the edge. And, honestly, if a guy showed up outside my window in the middle of the night, I'd be concerned too. Whether he was my boyfriend {haha, yeah right} or not.)

"Um...I followed you," Kai says, his face turning pink.

"From my house?"

Kai's face darkens to the color of his ninja gi. "Actually...I followed you from your school this afternoon."

You throw your hands up in exasperation. "And why did you do that? Were you expecting me to tell my mom, 'he followed me home, can I keep him'?"

"I was worried about you," Kai snaps. "You mentioned that your parents are fighting a lot, and I wanted to make sure you were okay." (Good intentions, bad actions. Story of Kai's life.)

You're secretly flattered-after all, who wouldn't want their ninja boyfriend looking out for them?-but you fold your arms and glare at Kai. "That's just creepy. And for your information, I can take care of myself."

(By this point, Kai is realizing that he's messed up. But Kai hates being wrong, which leads to...)

"Oh, yeah," Kai snaps sarcastically. "You're doing such a great job. You're hiding at your friend's house like a coward. That's really taking care of yourself."

"Oh, shut up," you shout at Kai. "You're the one who doesn't have anything better to do than follow me around all day. That's not even cowardly-it's just pathetic!"

"You're pathetic," Kai yells back. "It's no wonder nobody wants to be friends with you!" (I don't even know why I put this in here, except that I wanted to appreciate the irony of Kai saying this in front of y/n's best friend. Come to think of it, this could be why b/f/n hates Kai so much.)

You grab the thing closest to you-your CD-and throw it at Kai as hard as you can. "Get out!" (And then I guess Kai caught it or something, because apparently it's completely natural to just unconsciously catch things that hit you in the face. Oops.

Also, "get out" seems to be the best silencer in the history of my boyfriend scenarios. I literally just realized this now. I mean, y/n just used it, Zane used it, Cole used it...it gets people to be quiet, that's for sure.)

Kai stands still, looking stunned. There's a cut on his forehead from where the CD case hit him. "What?"

"You heard me!" you shout at him. "Get out, right now!"

Kai slowly walks over to the window. "Fine," he says slowly. "Fine." He climbs out through b/f/n's window and drops out of sight.

You stick your head out the window and scream, "And don't come back!" Then you slam the window shut, collapse on b/f/n's bed, and burst into tears. (Ah yes, anger is immediately followed by regret. Also, THIS. IS. NOT. A. FROZEN. REFERENCE. Thank you.)

(Well, that's it. What do you guys think? If you'd like to see another chapter annotated, you can post the chapter title and book/character name in the comments. {That includes chapters from this book, by the way!}

Over and out!)
