Authors Notes: This probably is the last story in this series. My next series is going to be about Echo Zane and girl who was ship wrecked.

Chapter 1

Accidents

It was the first day of Summer and the longest night of the year. The crickets could be heard all around the building, and all the windows were open welcoming any wind that might come their way. It had been incredibly hot that day, and a few tempers had spiked among the guys. Ty and Hydi kept to themselves in their room doing whatever homework was needed. However come time to make dinner Ty and Cole were at the stove. Once again doing their usual Friday dinner. It was always there thing to learn to cook together. Cole was actually getting really good at it, but Ty still wasn't to good. She had only been doing this for Three months, and her first attempt had caused her to shy away from the stove for a few days fearful for another 'accident' At least their home had been fixed up thanks to Mr. Borg wanting a roof over their heads. A lot of everything within the building was brand new, and state of the art. Yet the stove only had four burners and two people working on the food.

"Can you pass me the onions?" She asked Cole who handed them over. She pored them into the wok before handing the bowl back. It went on like this for a few minutes before she asked for the peppers and then the cooked beef that Cole had been cooking. But this was normal, they would always fire off like this. Ty put the lid on the food before carrying it over to the table and then brought over the cooked white rice. She put it into the wok she had just finished making the peppered beef in and started making fried rice. She asked for the mixed peas, carrots, and onions when it happened.

"Guh Ty why don't you just get it yourself." Cole grumbled tossing it at Ty. The food hit Tys chest and then onto the floor. Cole huffed and threw his arms in the air and stormed out. Ty looked at the stove, and then the floor. She was completely bewildered by what happened, but the feeling she had in her heart was so much more then just dinner on the floor. It was the fact that the one Uncle that she was able to go to when she felt bad was making her feel bad.

Ty turned around and finished with the rice before putting it into a bowl and took it to the table. Finally at dinner time she sat down at the table and looked at her food. Their was the usual chatter that their always was. Hydi sat next to her eating the food with as much speed as she could so she could get back to the books. She had a great thirst for knowledge and looked to read whenever she could. Yet her tender nature noticed something was wrong immediately with her twin soul.

"Ty? Eat?" She asked still not very good with English. "Its good." She licked the spoon clean of whatever was left of the miso soup Cole had abandoned. Ty had to finish cooking it.

"I don't...feel like eating." Ty said putting her chop sticks down.

"Do you feel sick?" Zane asked looking at his daughter then at Cole.

"Did she look sick while cooking?"

"No." Cole said having finished off his own food in record time as usual. He looked at her confused. Ty sighed and stood up.

"Ty?" Zane asked watching her leave the room. "Hydi, whats wrong?" It had been discovered a few weeks ago that Hydi and Ty can feel one another emotions. Sometimes share them if they wanted to know how proud one was of the other.

"Shes...confused, and sad." Hydi said looking down at her own food.

"I got her." Kai said standing up and walking from the room.

Zane although is her father, he wasn't to sure about females and emotions. Specially when it came to teenage girls who were coming into emotions they didn't know they had. It was hard for him to read women. He sighed thanking his creator that Pixal was easy to make smile.

Kai walked out onto the back porch. Ty was sitting much like she normally did by the pond. She wasn't talking, nor did it seem like she was crying. Moreover he wasn't to sure if he had ever seen her cry. A few tears of course, but never cry. He wasn't to sure if she had ever cried before. He walked off the porch and made his way down to the pond. A small torch was lit at all times at the memorial for Master Wu. Lloyd said it was his beaken to find his way home. Kai had lit it himself.

"This seat taken?" Kai asked with a little chuckle. She just shook her head. Kai sat down and looked at her trying to get a read of her.

"Your foods going to get cold. It was pretty good, you and Cole did a great j..." Kai watched as Ty stood up and walked toward the trails beside the forest.

"Ty its not safe in there at night! Its wargrunts mating season. They'll attack anything that moves!" Kai warned trying to get Ty to turn back around.

"You told me once that Cole loved me." Ty said turning back around. The path of tears glistened in the moonlight. "You lied!"

Kai felt a stone in the bottom of his stomach. He could hear her sobs from where he was still by the pond.

Kai was scared out of his shock when someone ran past him and pulled Ty into his arms. He nearly pulled his blade out from its hidden sheath under his shirt. He saw that black tuft of hair and realized that the black shirt clad man hugging his niece was none other then Cole.

Kai took a step back and shook his head.

"Jerk..." Kai said before going back into the house.

Cole felt Ty's sobs under his arms, he could feel her wet cheeks on his. Her uncontrollable sobs hurt his ears. Everything that was going on right now with someone he loved very much was his doing. He had lost his temper with someone and then left her without explanation.

It all just chapped him to no end that he had hurt this young girl the way he did. He let the tears flow as long as she wanted them to. He just ran his hands up and down her back in an attempt to calm her down enough to apologize. But what could he say that would make any of this better?

They weren't sure just how long they had been out there, they weren't sure what to say now. Cole eventually walked over to the pond and sat down. She had her back to his chest, one hand in Coles. She would occasionally sniffle and wipe her eyes with her free hand. Cole wasn't sure what to say still.

"Tomorrow." His mouth worked without him. "Tomorrow you and I can go on that hike I promised." Cole said looking up at the moon.

"Maybe you should ask dads permission before you go deciding things like that?" Ty said almost monotone.

"Nope...we're going." Cole concluded and sighed. "I need time to make this up to you. I was a jerk, and I didn't act the way I should have." Cole took a deep breath and hugged Ty to him again, kissing the top of her head.

"I hate fish." Ty said knowing perfectly well that Coles food of choice was fish when hiking for weeks.

"I'm strong I'll bring some other meats with us. No biggy." He shrugged his shoulders and picked Ty up. He began to make his way up to the house which was now quiet. Everyone was probably asleep. When he opened the door Zane was standing in the kitchen doorway. He had a sandwich on a plate.

"At least don't go to bed hungry." He whispered and glared at Cole. Cole sighed and looked at Ty.

"I'm a jerk." Cole said his shoulders slumped.

"And..." Zane offered.

"And I had no right to be mean to you."

"And..."

"I love you." Cole offered as a finalty. Ty closed her eyes and shook her head.

"No you don't." She said walking out of the room and toward her own room. Cole sighed looking up at Zane.

"It'll take a while to regain her trust. I'm going to take her hiking tomorrow. We'll be gone till the next day. Hopefully...I can fix this."

"Hopefully." Zane put the plate with its sandwich back into the fridge. Suddenly wondering why Ty never ate sandwiches.
