Ninjago-The Journey

Tick Tock

Days had past, which we filled with training. Training to become, stronger, faster, better.

The Bounty was currently anchored in an extremely clear lake. Zane wished to test himself again handing me a timer before rushing off. He actually surprised me when he took a dive off the side. Noticing now what he wanted I started the timer.

Moving over to the railing at sat on the edge and waited. Jay's jet flew from above circling in the air a few times before disappearing. Jay himself landing on the deck.

"Hey Kaia, what's going on?" he asked.

"Zane's trying to beat his record." I answered him showing him the timer.

"7 minutes already, damn the guy is inhuman." Jay called out loudly. Cole soon ran out and grabbed my wrist, and dragged me off the railing.

"Need to borrow you Kaia." he said still pulling me along, even with my feet digging down.

"Hold on Cole, let me finish for Zane. He is trying to break his record." I told him. He stopped almost immediately.

"He is, what's his time right now?" he asked releasing my arm. I looked down to the time.

"8 minutes 15 seconds." I answered him. Cole whistled very impressed.

"damn." he muttered.

"why do you need me anyway?" I asked him.

"Two things," he answered. "One to see my record and the second…." he trailed off fidgeting with his hands. "I want to talk to you about something." I nodded my head. Something told me that the conversation would be interesting.

There was the sound of something surfacing. Looking over to see it was Zane surfacing. I smiled clicking the timer. Jay helped him aboard.

"How did I do?" he questioned me. Looking down I saw his time. Before tossing him the timer placing my right hand on my hip.

"You completely destroyed it, Zane." I smiled. Zane looked down happily at his score. With that my arm was grabbed by a very impatient Cole.

"See you guys later." I waved as I was dragged away not all that bothered by Cole.

He was telling the truth about me recording. I felt bad for the metal bar and the floor that had to hold all of these weights. Cole was in the end just showing off by doing the large load in one hand. When he was done we both decided on lunch. I made it. I was not going to let Cole make it if I could help it.

"So what did you want to talk about, Cole?" I questioned as I was cutting up some vegetables and chicken.

"Well, I…." he trailed off from where he was sitting. "I wanted to talk about us." he got out. My knife slipped the cut not being as fine as the rest. I glanced over my shoulder looking back to him.

"What about us Cole?" I asked picking up the cutting board and pushing the ingredients into the pot and coating it in olive oil. I heard a shuffling. Turning,I saw Cole had come over to me. He looked nervous. Then it hit me.

'want more' Sensei's words filtered in.

"Well, um," he started slowly. "I wanted to know if I could take you out on a date?" he looked so…. Small at the moment. Like I could just blow on him and he would turn to dust. I turned my head to the side thinking.
