Heroines and romance Chapter 2: a wrench in the works
Sorry guest for the late chapter, I really couldn't think of anything, but now I got it.
Night-Shift PoV
'So my niece can't admit her feelings, hopefully this splat can,' i thought as i knocked on on her door,
The pink faun soon opened it, "yes?" i smiled "ah hello , miss splat, i just wanted to welcome you to the skylanders," she smiled back "thank you, mr?" "Night-Shift, grandfather of Rollerbrawl, if you need any advice I'm always floating around, in fact I like to give new members a piece of free advice, upon our first meeting, todays advice is hmm, Oh!, love waits for no one if your in love with someone tell them how you feel, i hope my advice was helpful," she blushed "thank you, Night-Shift, i hope to see you later" i nodded as she closed the door,
'Judging from her expression she was too shy as well' i turned and floated off
'Hmm' i thought floating through the skylands academy as i did, 'they both love each other but they are both far too shy to confess' i weighed my options then i saw something interesting i was in the magic wing, and I could see splat, and i could see one watching splat, she was a tech skylander with red hair, goggles, a large wrench, and a self made battle suit, sprocket That was the name, now that I could recall her i remembered that she wasn't the biggest fan of my granddaughter,
Yes what was it she said, oh yes that my granddaughter was 'stealing all the good ones' but why was she watching splat? Then I put two and two together,
She like my granddaughter was more interested in her own gender, and similarly liked splat more than in a friendly way, now i was obviously rooting for my granddaughter, but even she admitted she may need a little push,
And she loved competition, as a boxer i could always see a good move coming and my next one was a star punch, floating over to the tech skylander now which angle should i approach this from, stoic boxer? no, friendly ally? no, wistful old man? Ding ding ding we have a winner, i cleared my throat, "ahem" she jumped around to face me,
"Ah, young love" i said as if i was imagining an older time with my missus, "Yeah, it's uh something isn't it?" i nodded "yes, but hmm it's a shame I've heard that she's into female vampires," sprocket wasn't down cast, rather annoyed, "hmp, yes I'm soo sure," she said crossing her arms "however, it would seem that my granddaughter is far to shy to say anything to her, bah knowing her she'll get over it soon enough," i said pretending to sink further into thought the more i went on, but as i said that last part she seemed to get an idea
"Right, well thank you Night-Shift, I must return to my lab for no reason" i nodded and she left, I nodded and floated off, hoping my plan would work,
"excuse me, Night-Shift, i could use some advice" i looked down to see cynder "advice on what?" She blushed and looked down "love, my new girlfriend wants to take me somewhere, but we're stumped for ideas, she's a magic type," i nodded "hmm how about, night fall hills? It's always night and it practically radiates magic, not to mention watching the multicoloured stars is very romantic, a lovely place for a romantic picnic" she nodded, "thank you, now what do i bring," the last part was her thinking out loud but nevertheless i had an answer, "is it your first date or second?" I asked she blushed realising i had heard her "um, technically our first, why?" I smiled "on the first date flowers and chocolates are the safest, and try to figure out what she likes while on the date for next time," she nodded then "thanks night shift, im going to go-" "Daisies" i said "huh?" "Whirlwind likes daisies" i said she nodded and ran off, but the look in her eyes was all the thanks i needed,
Roller brawl's PoV
I was still trying to get my confidence up to talk to splat, "what would she want to hear?" I was brought out of my thoughts by a loud knocking on my door
knock knock knock* i walked over to my door to see "Oh, hi Sprocket, how are you?" "so you like splat too huh?" Huh where did that come from, then she smiled "but you can't work up the nerve to go and talk to her?, too bad, I guess I'll just have too ask her out before you can" wait what "hah," i said "please, i can totally talk to her" she smirked, "Then why don't you?" "Cause i wouldn't want to leave you too far behind," she just smirked more "then let's go ask her out", fine i will,
We both raced down a corridor i was a little bit faster but somehow she managed to keep up, we finally made it to the magic dorms and to a room with the words 'splat's room' and I knocked, I couldn't hear anything, "oh are you both looking for splat?" We both turned to see spyro, he looked at us and said "she left with whirlwind who wanted show her around, if you two wanted to do that you should have beaten the offical welcoming committee here," then he chuckled and walked away, "this isnt over" sprocket whispered to me "i swear i will ask splat out before you can" then she walked off, i sweat dropped how did she even know, the only one close enough to figure out is- "me?" "Bah, grandpa? How'd you-" he smirked "indeed it was i," "why?" He shook his head "you needed a push, besides i can tell that splat likes her too," "so it's who can make her happier contest eh? I'm game" he nodded "good luck," as he said that i prepared to do my best next time
