Second Chapter! Don't worry, it's not about cookies. Well, not completely. Review, follow and enjoy!
Zane woke up to the sound of the smoke alarm. Fire! Zane ran to the kitchen and saw Cole and Jay. Cole was wearing an orange apron and holding a pan of charred cookies while Jay was fanning at them desperately with a tea towel. Smoke was going everywhere.
Zane coughed and blasted the cookies with ice. They froze solid and stopped smoking. It was only when the smoke cleared did Zane really see the mess that the two ninja had made. Cookie dough was all over the walls, floors, cupboards and ninjas.
The two looked at Zane. He wasn't a happy camper. Jay pointed at Cole.
"Umm...we were hungry." Cole stammered, "So we made cookies. But we were really hungry, so we turned up the heat to make them cook faster." Zane stared at the oven, which he hadn't noticed was on fire as well. He quickly blasted the oven, covering it with a thick layer of ice.
Kai and Nya both ran into the room, having a tug of war with a bottle of wine. They suddenly stopped and stared at the demolished kitchen, the frozen oven and Cole holding the pan of frozen cookies. Kai facepalmed.
"WHAT THE DUCK IS GOING ON IN HERE?!" Nya yelled. PIXAL walked into the room and saw the mess.
"Zane? What's happened in here?" PIXAL asked.
"It's a long story." Zane said, smiling. Nya walked to the fridge and opened the door. She took out a huge bowl, scowling. Upon looking into the bowl, Zane saw that it was empty.
"COLE! JAY! YOU USED THE COOKIE DOUGH THAT I ALREADY MADE?! IT TOOK ME ALL NIGHT TO MAKE IT!" Nya yelled.
"Well, we did make some of our own..." Jay chuckled nervously. Nya rubbed her temples.
"Why does this always have to happen when Sensei is gone?" Nya muttered, "I regret telling him to go back to the mountains with Misako because someone put on weird necklaces that came in in the mail and interrupted them..."
"In my defense, they all put the necklaces on too!" Cole said, pointing to Jay, Kai and Lloyd, who had just walked in.
"Whatever." Nya sighed. She pulled a piece of paper out of her pocket and handed it to Zane.
"Zane, can you buy some more ingredients?" Nya asked. Zane turned to leave.
"Can I come? I've never been to the marketplace." PIXAL said. Zane nodded, held PIXAL's hand and they both walked out of the door.
Jay looked at them, then at Nya.
"Nya, do you think nindroids make better couples than humans?" Jay asked.
Zane and PIXAL walked to the marketplace in Jamanikai Village. Once they got there, Zane tore the list in half and handed one half to PIXAL.
"I'll get these ingredients and you can get these ones. It'll be easier if we split up. Let's meet back here in twenty minutes." PIXAL nodded, smiled and walked away.
Before they had reached the market, Zane had given PIXAL a map to show her around, since she had never been there before. Reading the map, PIXAL turned a corner and found a confectionary stall. She was halfway into buying a bag of chocolate chips when a large commotion that was going on at a weapons stall near her caught her attention.
Clouse, Sensei Yang and a hooded girl she had never seen before were robbing the stall. The manager was being held at gun-point by the girl while the other two picked out katanas and other weapons and stuffed them into a bag. At this point, PIXAL had to trust her instincts.
"Stop! Thieves!" PIXAL yelled, grabbing her dagger and charging at the trio. Clouse and Sensei Yang saw PIXAL, grabbed the bag and ran as fast as they could. However, Sarah stood her ground. PIXAL tackled her and ripped off her hood.
"Who are you?" PIXAL murmured. Sarah grinned and kicked PIXAL off of her.
It had been half an hour and PIXAL still wasn't there. Zane looked around and saw a large crowd that had gathered. He ran to the front of the crowd, pushing through the people, and saw the two girls.
"PIXAL!" Zane exclaimed. Sarah grinned and dropped PIXAL. She brought out her flute and started to play. As soon as the notes were heard, Zane found it impossible to move. He tried to say something, but he couldn't talk either. Sarah walked towards Zane, but something stopped her.
"You leave him alone." PIXAL hissed. Sarah looked at PIXAL and shrugged. She stopped playing and ran off into the crowd, disappearing.
Zane ran to PIXAL, who was staring off into the distance.
"Are you okay?" Zane asked. PIXAL nodded. She looked at Zane.
"Zane, that day when Clouse went to prison, who took him?" PIXAL asked.
"The others told me it was Jay..." Zane said. Before he could finish, PIXAL ran off towards the dojo.
"Wait, where are you going?" Zane yelled, giving chase.
"I have to get answers, and there's only one person who can give them to me!" PIXAL yelled.
So...this chapter was more about PIXAL and Sarah than it was about cookies, but cookies were still in it, so why not? Anyway, that was chapter 2! Review and stay tuned!
