You threw off your apron in frustration. UGH! Work sucks! You hopped on your bike, yes you were so poor you had to ride a bicycle, and started to head home, thinking of the horrible day you had.

You were taking a young couple's order when you heard a yell come from the kitchen. "(Y/N)!" You sighed and pocketed your notepad. "Sorry," you say to the raven haired girl and orange-brown haired boy. "Boss just called, your order will be ready soon, don't worry." You dropped off their order and rushed into the kitchen, where your boss was awaiting you.

Long story short, the loving couple you had served had a great night, you heard the girl laughing on your way out, but you had the worst night ever, period. Fired, yelled at in front of the staff, and shoved out of the restaurant with your head held in shame. But maybe that was a little exaggerated. Anyway, to make this night worse, it started to rain AND you got a flat tire. You dragged your feet across the street to a small bakery nearby. Most stores were closed, but this one was still lit and mostly empty. Soaking wet, you sloshed through the door and sat down at a table. The only person other than you there was a young man, in his early twenties, with messy, jet black hair swept off to one side. He was eating a slice of chocolate marble cake with a large variety of slices spread out around the table in front of him. Where did he get all that cake?! Oh right, this is a bakery. DUH! You headed towards the counter to order a slice, maybe two or three, for yourself. "Excuse me m'am?" you said to the sweet old lady who owned the local bakery, "Can I get a slice of the delicious looking red velvet cake please?"

"Of course sweetheart! Rough day at work?" She said, reading my mind.

"You have no idea! By the way, who is that?" I replied, pointing to the only other customer, who was now eating a piece of chocolate cake with a fork.

"Oh that is my best customer! He comes at least twice a week and always orders something to take back to his home to eat." Cole has such a sweet tooth! I always give him my new recipes to try."

Hmm, such a tough looking dude loves sweets? Guess you can't judge a book by its cover right? You thank the kind lady and bring your red velvet cake over to his table.

Coles POV

I bring a forkful of chocolate heaven up to my mouth when I get a whiff of something weird next to me. I smell rain, rubber, and...red velvet cake? I put down my fork and turn my head only to find myself face to face with a mop of (Y/HC) hair. This strange girl stacks up several empty plates and wipes the crumbs into a napkin. The plates go off to the side and the napkins goes into the trash. She takes another napkin and wipes off the seat and table before sitting down across from me. She hands me a napkin and starts eating her cake. "Uh, thank you?" I say, confused that she is sitting right across from me. Kind of like when you're on an empty bus and the person decides to sit right next to you. I self consciously wiped my mouth and in my embarrassment a stream of questions came out of my mouth, "Who are you? Why are you at my table? Why is your hair all wet? What's your favorite kind of cake? Can I have some of your red velvet cake?" At those last two questions, I blushed and ducked my head. "Sorry, I...I really like cake." She gestures to the table, "I can tell. But hey, so do I! I was gonna get like, three more slices, but I didn't have much of an apatite after work today" I laughed and pumped my fist, "Yes! Another cake lover in Ninjago City! So, what happened here?" I point to her hair. "Oh you know, got fired from work, got a flat tire, found a cake shop, ate some cake, the usual." She smiles and her nose scrunches up a bit, it is so cute!

"You got fired? Hey, Bonnie needs a helper here, I would take the job but I'm kinda busy 24/7, ya know...ninja duties." I mumbled the last part and called Bonnie over. "Bonnie!" I turn to the girl, "I'm sorry, I never caught your name."

"(YN/)" she replies.

"(Y/N) lost her job today and can help you close up shop and take over some shifts, she's really good at cleaning up tables and stuff too!" I yell, pretty loud, since Bonnie doesn't have the best hearing in the world. I turn to (Y/N), "I gotta go, my friends just finished up their date and I have training tomorrow...hopefully I will see you around here sometime? Maybe you can even deliver and I'll get to show you my house!" Hopefully she doesn't think I'm flirting, I really just want to be good friends! I put my plate on the pile she had made and scooted out of the booth and out the door.

Your POV

Cole walks out the door and I head over to the counter where Bonnie is leaning. "So you have a job available for me?" I ask her.

"Oh yes dear, I would appreciate it so much. Don't worry about helping out in the kitchen but everything else would help me so much!"

"I'll take it. Thank you for the opportunity!" I say as I run out the door, the bell jingling behind me. I ditch my bike and try to catch up with Cole. I barely see a glimpse of his gray hoodie, shaggy black hair, and...a glimpse of gold? I hear a weird noise and I sprint to see what it is. There, right before my eyes is a massive dune buggy thing. It's black and gold and Cole is in the driver seat ready to take off. "WAIT! COLE WAIT!" I scream, waving my arms to get his attention. His face is shocked when he sees me and his dune buggy turns into a golden garden tool. "Sorry, I was just wondering if I could get a ride, but...it looks like we're out of luck." I said, gesturing to the weapon on the ground. "By the way, what's with the magic blade of horror?"

"Oh, my scythe? Uh..." He rubs the back of his neck. "Yeah, I'm a ninja and that's my weapon and its also my tread assault and of course I'll give you a ride!" He says it so fast that I barely catch what he's saying. He does a couple of crazy flips and stuff and his scythe turns into the tread assault. I hop in and he takes me to my house. "Well that was fun!" I nervously laugh as I get out of the vehicle. "See you later then?" "Yeah, see ya later (Y/N)" he winks at me and drives off into the night.

AN

WOAH! That was way longer than I expected. I know Cole fans are happy, but others...I'M SORRY! I'm not playing favorites I swear! If I was, well let's just say that Jay's fic would already have 10 chapters. Haha, but I've only "saved" his for last because I'm not sure what to do. I got a songfic as a suggestion but I don't want to title the whole thing after one chapter. So if you could review with some title ideas then I can get that one up soon! Bye! Thank you!
