Chapter 1: Pissed off earth master: Cole's POV
I walked into the training room to see if Kai wanted to play video games, but instead he sat on a bench with Jayleene. They were both holding each other by the waist while they made out. I rolled my eyes, shook my head and left the room. "Alright so they're busy…"
I walked into the room I shared with the guys and saw Zane sitting on his bunk with his back to me. "Hey, Zane-Whoa…" Angel was next to him while she turned her head to lock their lips together. "Okay so they're busy too…" I thought as I got a bit annoyed.
I walked down the hall to find Scarlet and Lloyd. They were the only couple who wouldn't be sucking face every second of the day. I walked into the game room and saw they were on the couch…You freaking guessed it, making out. "Oh c'mon!" I yelled.
They pulled apart quickly and turned to watch TV like nothing happened. "Don't try to hide it, you two were making out like everyone else on this stupid ship!" I stomped out of the room.
Lloyd's POV
"Should we go talk to him?" Scarlet asked.
I looped my arm around her back and kissed her cheek. "Don't worry about it." I smiled.
Cole's POV
I was so fucking annoyed! Everyone was sucking face but me, was this punishment for kissing Scarlet that one time? But that was over nine months ago, you'd think karma would let up by now. I felt left out, Garmadon hadn't tried anything in a while so everyone relaxed and hung around the ship more and more.
I had nothing to do since I was single, but everyone else…Sensei Wu had his tea and Nya seemed fine with the fact that she was technically, sort of married to our deceased brother, Jay. I groaned and climbed down the anchor of the ship, not wanting to be around the various happy couples. Maybe I could visit Dareth's Mojo Dojo; there was nothing better to do.
April's POV
"Uncle Dareth, I'm home." I called out as I dropped my school backpack. My uncle and I lived in his dojo, I moved in shortly after my grades dropped and I wasn't allowed to go to private school anymore. Personally, I liked public school a little better, the rules were more relaxed and I didn't have to wear a stupid, stuffy uniform.
"Uncle Dareth?" I called out again.
Uncle Dareth stepped out holding a plate of sandwiches. "Here, I made you a…What is a called again?"
I smiled and took one of the grilled cheese sandwiches. "Afterschool snack?"
"Right, right…There's some soda in the fridge too."
I took a bite out of the sandwich and nodded. "So, did my dad call?" I asked.
"No,"
I frowned and leaned against the wall. "Whatever…" I grabbed for another sandwich and slid down the wall. My dad was all the family I had left, yet he never paid any attention to me. He sent me to a boarding school when I was ten and pulled me out when my grades dropped at seventeen. I thought he'd take me back home, which was why I purposely failed my Mid-term exam but instead I was shipped off to live with my ninja-wannabe uncle. But don't mind that, I loved my uncle either way I wasn't sure about how I felt about my dad, Darren.
Suddenly someone walked in. "Hey, Dareth." A guy in a black ninja suit waved. I felt a touch of pink spread across the bridge of my nose, the guy was freaking hot. Black swayed bangs that fell in his vision every occasional step, emerald green eyes and a really cute smile. "Hi, Cole." My uncle smiled directly at me when he saw my blushing.
Oh no…It was going to be one of my uncle's embarrassing, hook ups. He was constantly trying to get me with a nice guy. I swallowed the last of my sandwich and stood. "I'm gonna' go into my room so…"
"No," my uncle pulled my arm and sat me down on the couch. "Stay here. Cole you can have a seat too, I'm going to…Go do something else."
Cole's POV
Dareth pulled my arm and sat me right next to the girl who was like me, blushing too. She was still pretty. Her hair was black and short with a single streak of hair dyed aquamarine, shorter than Nya's and made into a skater boy style; she had blue-green eyes, and pink lips. "Hey…Uh I'm Cole…" I said awkwardly.
"April…I'm Dareth's niece…" I nodded and she shifted obviously uncomfortable. "Look, sorry about my uncle he's just…Weird…How do you know him?"
"My friends and I used to use his dojo to train The Green Ninja."
"Wait…Thee Green Ninja?" she picked up an aqua backpack and pulled out a small, worn out book. "Dude, I've heard so much about The Green Ninja, he can control all the elements and the other ninja are born to protect and help him defeat the dark lord."
April's POV
I flipped the pages of my spinjitzu history book and showed Cole a drawing of all the ninja. "So cool…Wait…You're the black ninja, the earth master." I gestured to his suit.
He nodded. "Yeah…"
By his weird look I could tell I freaked him out a bit. "Uh, sorry, I'm your classic nerd; you know; I'm an A student and I have asthma."
Cole smiled lightly. "It's okay; at least you're not Steve Urkel or anything."
"Note to self: Do not show him my suspenders." I thought, putting my book away. "So…Uh…Do you watch Looney Tunes?" "Mental Face Palm: What the fuck did I just say that for?" "Uh…It's my favorite show; my favorite character is Bugs Bunny." I couldn't stop myself; I was just built to mess up my chances with every guy I met. "B-but I like Dora the Explorer too! Ha, ha, vamenos!" "That's even worse, April, what the hell are you saying to this guy?!"
Cole raised an eyebrow. "That's…Cool…" he gave a sort of weirded out look.
"I-I…Uh…It…" I shook my head and sighed. "Oh, screw this, do you wanna' hang out with me sometime?" "Whoa…Where'd that come from?"
"Sure, I'll come back here tomorrow at…Eight?"
"O-okay…"
He smiled. "Uh, I'll see you later then, April."
I smiled back and nodded. "Yeah…I'll see you later too…"
When he left, I jumped up and played my air guitar. "Never say NEVER!" I sung way too loudly.
My uncle walked in smiling. "And I never thought my little niece would have a date."
"Oh, shut up. Don't ever leave me hanging like that; I nearly messed up my chances with that guy!"
"I promise, now go finish your snack and then hit the books."
I sighed. "Yeah, yeah…"
