The early rays of morning cut through the dark green curtains of a strange blue mist filled casino room of some sort, indicated by the slot machines, dice and card tables, neon-lighted paths,
and the giant roulette-like wheel high atop on the wall where each space on the wheel has one of three random colors and one of four Pok mon (yellow, green, and purple; Makuhita, Azurill, Skitty, and Wynaut)
a sleeping Theresa was shackled too. "Ugh...five more minutes..." She groaned, as the sun rays shined into her closed eyes. However, the loud blaring sound of a bell suddenly jolted her awake.

"What the?" Theresa tried to sit up but felt restrained, she then started looking around, trying to gather her surroundings. Looking around where she lay, she realized she wasn't in her bed at her parent's house.

"Where am I!?"

"Hello?" She asked into the deep emptiness of the room.

"Ah I see your awake." A voice taunted.

"Who are you?" Theresa groaned and her head ached as if she'd been hit over the head with something heavy.

"Ha imbecile. The name is Crystal Snail. Please, do have another free spin on the house." The voice laughed and the wheel began spinning and lighting up with bright flashes of neon colored flashes as the bell began ringing again drowning out Morgan's screams.

The wheel quickly stopped, Morgan was now extremley dizzy, her vision blurred, and her whole body aching and painful.

Through blurry eyes, she saw a snail-like humanoid robot approach the wheel, stepping out from the shadows of the room.

She screamed in terror as her sight returned to her and she made out the tall robot just smiling evilly.

"Why am I here?" She asked now glaring.

"Your here because your going to help me lure the Ninja here." Crystal Snail laughed. "So my Master can destroy him!"

Theresa gasped and he smirked as if he knew something she didn't.

"I would never help anyone like you!" Theresa growled and he laughed.

"Oh...Well from where I am standing it seems you don't have much choice but to hang around?" He smirked. Another bell rang and the wheel began spinning again as Theresa screamed again being tossed around to and throw.

After a few minutes of Theresa about to lose her cookies, "NINJA H- HELP!" She screamed at the top of her lungs and closed her eyes tightly.

Without even making another move, everything around her turned black.

Then... a light.

"SMOKEBOMB!"

In front of her and the evil robot appeared the Norrisville Ninja. Theresa felt her heart pound...

"Ninja!" Theresa called. "Help me!"

"Ninja Slice!" The Ninja yelled as he sliced the restraints keeping her to the wheel in two with a katana sword. Her eyes widened as she was now free falling , She let out a tiny scream seeing the floor getting closer and closer and covered her face with her hands.

When she was about to hit the floor, somebody caught her and carried her bridal style and swung them out a window and up onto the roof of the building. She felt so nervous when that happened. Her hero gently put her down as she breathed heavily.

"You alright?" He asked. "You know, you can open your eyes now."

She slowly opened her eyes and turned to see her savior.

It was him... it was the Norrisville Ninja.

Tears started forming in Theresa's eyes.

"T- thank... th- thank you Ninja..." Theresa said with a shaky voice.

Theresa wrapped her arms around the Ninja's neck, hugging him. The Ninja took a step back from shock as Theresa dug her head into Randy's shoulder, exclaiming over and over again "THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!". "THANK YOU!" she yelled, now gasping for breath as she wailed into Randy's shoulder.

At the sudden affection from Theresa, his crush, Randy's eyes widened and he blushed a beat read as his heart was now racing.

Randy began sweating nervously and rested a hand on the back of Theresa's head, hugging her back. "Um...Y-your welcome, citizen" he said nervously, trying not to break character.

The door to the roof was blown open by a yellow energy blast. The Ninja shielded Theresa from the explosion by hugging her tighther.

"You think you and your little friend could escape me, Ninja! " Crystal Snail exclaimed, as he stepped out onto the roof where they were standing, Theresa let out a tiny scream and hid behind the Ninja as Crystal Snail now aimed his scary looking Ray Gun point blank at the Ninja's face.

"Um, Ninja you usually do something a little more Ninja'ier by now...You feeling okay?" Theresa asked a bit scared of Crystal Snail and a bit confused at the Ninja's sudden burst of confidence.

"This won't take long." He said a grin now creeping up on his face. And with that he foot sweeped Crystal Snail's feet right from under him. Crystal Snail landed with a loud thud which caused both the Ninja and Theresa to stumble back a few steps nearly falling over due to the initial shockwave he caused when his shell hit the ground.

"URRGGH! You'll pay for that!" Crystal Snail cursed, in a blind fury raising his ray gun and shooting off a torrent of deadly ray blasts that would have hit Theresa hadn't the Ninja tackled her out of the way.

Then he got both of them out of there with a series of jumps over the surrounding rooftops.

"Coward! Come back and fight me!" Crystal Snail raged, firing off a couple more blasts at the fleeing Ninja who dodged them with great ease.

Theresa had a big blush in her cheeks and her heart fluttered rapidly. I couldn't believe this! The Ninja hugged me and he saved me from that robotic junk!

"You okay?" He asked kindly, looking down at Theresa.

"Um... yeah. Thanks, Ninja." Theresa responded with a shy tone.

He gently put me down and began to walk away. "Now if you excuse me... SMOKE-" The Ninja yelled, grabbing a small ball from his suit about to throw it on the ground

"H- hey! Can I give you a little something for saving me?" She asked, her smile widening.

"Oh you don't have to give m-." He began to say.

Theresa smiled. She then got on her tip-toes and started to take Randy's mask off. "Uh..." he began but he suddenly lost his voice. He couldn't even move and he felt as if his stomach had been taken out. The freshman was frozen, Somehow Theresa managed get the mask a little bit off of Randy and just above his nose. The fabric of the ninja mask slipped a little bit off of him but was still on his face, concealing his identity.

Randy was frozen in fear as Theresa leaned in and gave him a kiss. Randy's eyes widened, but then fell and he finally kissed her back. It felt nice and warm, and he felt as if he was alive yet slowly dying. The hair on the back of his neck stood on end. He felt as if he had just stuck his finger in an electrical outlet or he felt as if he was flying. His heart was racing at 100 beats per second.

Finally Theresa pulled away and she moved the mask back onto Randy. He felt the fabric slip onto his face perfectly, comforting him. She smiled. "This will be our little bruce secret, Ninja" she puffed in his hair sending shivers down his spine. Theresa then walked off, towards the entrance of her neighborhood and made her way back home. A few minutes after she left, the Ninja was just standing there in disbelief, his eyes wide from shock. At the same time he was terrified, scared beyond wits, yet he also had a nice fluttering feeling in his stomach.

Finally the Ninja could feel his arms and the blood rush through him. He began gasping for breath. I just kissed Theresa... he thought. I just kissed Therea!...

Randy trembly grabbed a small ball from his suit. He threw it on the ground and sighed "Smokebomb..."
