Nya was showing the ninja a skeleton of a snake.

"Some villagers unearthed the remains of this fangpyre a few miles away. It predates the Golden Age, and must be hundreds of years old. Although the venom in the fangs of the Fangpyre genetically mutate human cells into reptilian, I've learned there could be a way to stop the effects without having to create an antivenom." Nya said and Zane is taking notes while Kai is bored. Cole is drawing a picture of him fighting and Jay, stares at Nya with his hair in a different way then ususal. Y/n is not even there, she's training outside.

"If one is able to wildly raise their heart rate, hypothetically it could reverse the venom's effects. Resulting in...diminished, uh, excuse me, is someone wearing perfume? I'm severely allergic to perfume." Nya asked and Jay laughed awkwardly. "You told me it was men's cologne." He wispered to Kai.

"Meh, I get them mixed up." Kai shrugged and everyone laughed, except Nya and Jay. Zane turns off his humor switch and gets up.

"Ah, looks like class is over. Time to start stomping some serpentine before they find any fangblades." Cole said. "Let's get Y/n ready." 

"Sounds like a plan." Kai replied.

"I'm excited to join." Zane said and they walked out, except Jay.

"Uh, hey uh, Nya, I'm sorry. The reason I was—you know—I went to Kai because—look. What I'm trying to say is—" Jay stuttered and Nya cut him off before he could finish his sentences. "I know. It's just a cruel joke. I should be fine. Please, go fight snakes." She said and wanted to walk away.

"No, no, no, no. I was trying to impress you. Before sensei left, he said our heart was the key to unlocking our potential. Like Y/n saved me."

"Impress me? But I look so..." Nya's face turned a crimson red.

"Fantastic." Jay said dreamily and Nya starts to play with her hair. "Look, maybe, if you'll let me, I can take you to some big fancy restaurant. You don't have to, if you don't want to..." Jay stuttered again.

"You mean like a date?" Nya asked awkwardly.

"Uhh, yeah...?" Jay replied.

"Sure! I'd love to. But I have to go now before the perfume toxins enter my bloodstream and I go into shock. See you tonight." Nya said and waved at him.

Jay started dancing in triumph but hitted the teeth of the skeleton. "Ouch..." He muttered and walked away, not caring.

Later.

"Hey Jay." Y/n said and the lighting ninja nodded as Y/n started to help Jay getting ready. "Did you know I've been asked on a date twice this week?" She laughed. "And now you've asked Nya, which is amazing. But, I didn't know we did dating here."

"Wait! Who asked you out?" Jay growled.

"Ehh, Kai, when he was doing weird from that venomari spit. And yesterday it was... Cole.. I ate his cake and made a deal. Which was not the date." She paused. "Ofcourse I said no to the both of them." Y/n said and Jay laughed but was partly angry as well. Now he started to think about what to say to Nya.

"Did I ever tell you I was the first one to learn spinjitzu? No, I mean, uh, I invented Spinjitzu. Yeah, that's it. And I invented a few other moves, like the karate double chop. Hyah!" Jay shouted.

"That's not gonna work, Jay." She chuckled. Jay shrugged and Y/n looked at his hand.

"What's that?" She asked, pointing at his hand.
