CHAPTER ONE:
Hayo, Nerdeology-000 here with a series of dumb cheesy one-shots. I will gladly take any advice and suggestions! Im currently trying to work on like a real story but this will be to fill in time, so enjoy! R&R
Skylor had closed the noodle house down on Sunday. And she didn't do it to be a ninja.
Skylor actually had to dig through her closet for something to wear on a "real date". Eventually she settled on a pair of ripped jeans, an orange shirt with white lace on the bottom, and a leather jacket. She grabbed some purse and slung it over her shoulder.
She glanced at a mirror then hurriedly tied her hair up in it's usual ponytail, hustling down stairs.
She arrived outside and glanced up and down the busy streets of Ninjago City. Shocked to find Kai driving a white minivan.
She blinked as Kai rolled down the window facing her.
He lowered his sunglasses with a smug grin. "So Skylor," Kai said cockily, "Totally normal, down to the ride."
He said this with such a funny tone and expression that Skylor burst out laughing.
Kai's expression turned to a confused smile, "Alright, it was all that was available last minute." he rolled his eyes.
Skylor continued to laugh and covered her mouth with her hands.
"Yeah yeah, just get in the car." he muttered, trying to sound annoyed but failing to hide his grin.
Skylor shook her head, and climbed in the car.
"So, where are we going?" Kai asked.
"What? You don't have any 'special plans'?" Skylor nudged Kai.
"Naw, everything's special with you Sky." he shot Skylor an attempt at an innocent look.
"Pffbt!" Skylor laughed, lightly shoving him. "You're so cheesy!"
"Only around youuu." Kai sang.
There was a minute of silence between the two.
"So were just driving around?"
"Yup." he replied popping the p. "Tell me if you see anyplace you wanna hang out."
"Hang out? Perhaps makeout?" Skylor shot smugly.
Kai let out a nervous laugh. "Sure."
So they drove around like that for a while. Light banter going between them, making fun of the shops they saw in the window.
"Let's go on our date at...Mother Doomsday!" Skylor exclaimed with fake excitement.
Kai scoffed, "Why that when we can make out at-" Kai abruptly cut off his own sentence with a loud cuss.
The minivan swerved to the side, crossing lanes in the intersection. And Skylor's hands gripped the armrest till her knuckles were white.
"Kai, wha-"
Before Skylor could ask, she got her answer.
A truck rammed into the rental minivan, jolting Skylor to her right. She heard Kai gasp in pain. The glass on Kai's and the front window shattered, the pieces flying all over the car and street.
The car flew into a fire hydrant, sending the crushing airbag. Skylor's chest exploded with pain, and she
I can't breathe! She panicked. Her vision danced with black spots, her eyes blinking ever so slowly, not helping the vision problem.
Everything was a blur after that.
Skylor felt pain in her chest, she heard her breathing in her ears, sirens and other noises echoing.
She had small flashes of memories, an ambulance, hospital, shouting, talking, beeping, her own breathing.
And black.
o0O0o
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Skylor groggily lifted open her eyelids, revealing white.
Skylor blinked a few more times. The walls were white, her bed was white, hospital. Even more evident with the curtain to her right and the table on her left with several machines tubes and wires. One of them supplying oxygen tickling under Skylor's nose.
Yuck. Skylor though. How could she have ended up in here?
The crash. The truck. Minivan.
Kai.
Crap. Was Kai alright?
Skylor fidgeted in the bed, attempting to move and sit up. Pain shot through her chest, and she collapsed.
"You're up."
Skylor jumped a little, her chest regretting the small action. She turned to see a nurse by the door. Also dresses in white. She was short, with thin eyebrows and lips, her brown hair tied back in a ponytail. She also carried a tray with what could've been food. It was hard to tell.
"Hi," she whispered shyly. "I'm Fiona."
She set the tray on the nightstand, and looked over Skylor. Unlinking the oxygen tubes from her ears and setting it to the side.
"What do you remember?" she asked, sitting at the foot of Skylor's bed.
"The crash, some flashes of the ambulance and hospital. Speaking of which actually, my boyfriend-"
Fiona smiled, her eyes visible lighting up. "Oh yes, your boyfriend. He's fine if that's what you wanted to know. In fact, he's very concerned about you. He's been asking to see you. He cares an awful lot."
Skylor sighed with relief, "I would like to see him too."
"My," Fiona commented almost dreamily, "What a wonderful couple you must make."
Skylor felt her cheeks turn slightly pink. "Yeah."
Fiona left the room, returning only 30 minutes later with an armchair.
She placed the chair next to Skylor's bed and sent her smile. "For him."
She opened the door to Skylor's room, holding the door for Kai. With clacking crutches hitting the floor. His outfit consisting of a red hoodie and black sweatpants. However, a brace hugged his lower leg and knee, and a pair of crutches were tucked under his arms. Other than that he looked perfectly normal with a couple cuts.
"Hey." he waved.
"Hi." Skylor responded trying to be nonchalantly.
Kai cleared his throat and took a seat in the plastic armchair. Which probably took more effort than Kai would admit.
Kai rested his head in his hands, "Geez Skylor, I-I'm so sorry. I thought we could just have simple date." Kai's voice went up higher in pitch and he started to ramble. "Without ninja duties. Without feeling like we were in danger, and wondering if we were gonna make it. And I tried but it didn't- and then.." Kai's voice faded and he looked away.
Skylor silence pass between them.
"What happened to your leg?" Skylor questioned, as an attempt to move the conversation.
Kai was still facing the window and gave a small shrug. "I'll live. They plan to start me on physical therapy in a couple of weeks."
More silence.
Skylor hated the silence.
It meant so many things unsaid. Feelings left unattended. Sadness, relief, guilt, fear. They were all present in the room. Hiding, in blankness of the white room.
"I'm sorry Sky." Kai attempted again. Skylor gripped her sheets. "I want to be an ordinary couple-"
"But were not." Skylor stated. Bluntly too. unsugarcoated.
Kai looked back at her. His eyes glassy, almost like they were gonna break. He cares an awful lot about you.
"We're not an ordinary couple. We're ninja." Skylor let herself slip into a smile.
"We stare danger in its face! And the danger brought us together. I mean where would this relationship be if my father wasn't a power hungry psychopathic giver of noodles?"
A small smile tugged at Kai's lip.
"We, Kai and Skylor, are no ordinary couple. We are hell of an Extraordinary one!" Skylor declared grabbing Kai's hands. "And that's what I love about us."
"Have I ever told you, I love you?"
Skylor let a small giggle escape her lips. "Not enough."
"I love you Sky. I love us." Kai gave her a cheesy lopsided smile. He crept closer. And did not obliged when their lips collided.
Extraordinary.
Yay! Chapter one! Suggestions are open!
