I was sitting behind the desk of my parents' candy shop clearly bored. When the bell signaling a person entered rang. "Hey Lloyd" I happily said. "Hello Emily I'm back for more" he replied. "Haven't you already had your bag for the week?" I asked "Yes why?" he answered. "Well it's just that the 5pound bag of candy you bought wasted all your allowance so you're broke" I stated. "Then pay for me please?" he asked. "No" I told him. He gave me big puppy dog eyes "Please?" he repeated. "Fine" I gave in "But last time this month" "Yes" he cheered he got a free bag of candy. He filled a 2pound bag with all the candy he could. Then he handed it to me and I paid for it.
He walked outside the store. "Take care!" I called after him. The bell rang again a while later. An old man walked in "I'm Sensei Wu" he introduced himself. "Wait your Cole's Sensei aren't you?" I asked. "I see you know one of my ninja" he replied "So what brings you here?" I asked. "Well it seems there are more ninja than I thought out there…" he began. "And…" I said. "You are one of them" he finished. "Here's a map find the golden weapon, then come to where our boat is docked for your training" he stated calmly. He tossed a map onto the desk and left.
"MOM DAD I'M GONNA PACK AND LEAVE TO BE A NINJA!"I shouted. "Take care!" my dad screamed. "Make sure you take food and water!" my mom replied. I packed everything and left on my journey. I pulled out the map and started toward my weapon.
My journey was fairly short it went from mid-day to sunset while I was traveling. Now I had to make it up the mountain. The climb was easy and halfway up I made it to the cave my weapon was in. I walked in and saw in the middle of the room a stone dragon body and it was curled in a spiral. In the middle of the spiral was the head sticking up wards and on top of the head laid a small golden dagger.
I walked right up and took the dagger off the head and placed it in my belt with all my other weapons. I stared at the map and noticed the boat I had to go to was extremely far. A rumbling noise startled me and I jumped spinning around. The dragon was coming to life! It had bright orange scales and beady green eyes. I held my hand in front of me and in my most reassuring town I said "I mean you no harm I just want the dagger so I may be on my way to help my friend "The dragon didn't attack me instead it moved its head forward and nuzzled it against my hand. I smiled "I think I'll call you blade" I stated. "Can you take me to my destination?" I asked. It nodded yes. Pleased with myself I hopped aboard, showed it the map and we were on our way at top speed.
In what seemed like 3 minutes a boat appeared in the sky. That must be it. We flew in close and I jumped off and landed on the deck. It looked like a training course. As soon as I hit the ground I got up and walked to the door. I did the only logical thing I knocked. I waited a while a knocked again. Finally after what seemed like forever a boy in a red ninja suit opened the door. "Who are you?" he asked. "Who are you?" I replied. "I asked first!" he snapped. "Well I asked second!" I snapped back. Defeated he answered "I'm Kai""Emily" I said. "May I pass" I said I my sweetest voice. "Yeah sure" he said. "Thank you" I said as I walked past him.
The inside was amazing. I walked into a room that looked like the living room. There I saw Sensei Wu. He approached me and handed me a sunset orange ninja suit and instructed me to put it on. Then he gave me directions to my room. I nodded and went there and slipped into my ninja suit. I flipped on my hood and left. For boys Lloyd and Sensei Wu were in the living room when I silently came in. One was Cole another Kai and the other to I didn't know. I walked in and sat down next to the Sensei. With my hood up no one could tell who I was. Deciding to keep myself hidden a while longer Sensei introduced me but never mentioned my name or that I was a girl.
"Do you like to be quiet?" a boy in a blue ninja suit who was introduced as Jay asked. I nodded. "You seem familiar" Lloyd said "Do I know you?" I reached into my back pack I kept with me for my journey. I pulled out a little sack and tossed it to Lloyd. "Do you want me to open this?" he asked. "I just nodded. He reached in the sack and pulled out a piece of candy. "Emily?" he asked. I pulled of my hood and sighed in relief "About time someone got it!" I announced. "Meet Emily the new ninja" Sensei Wu announced. "WHAT!" all the other ninja shouted. "A girl can't be a ninja" Kai screamed. I got up and flipped him onto his back and growled "What did you say" "Nothing" he squeaked. "That's what I thought" she said.
"Hello Cole glad to see me again?" I asked. He just stood there frozen. I clapped really hard in front of his face and he started shaking around his head then he stilled. "You're a ninja Emily!" "Ya I thought we just cleared that up." "Wait you guys know each other?" Jay asked. "Yes our parents know each other so we met when we were five." I answered. Cole finally went back to his normal self. "Welcome to the team!" he announced. "Wait" The one named Zane said "What is her element Sensei" "Oh yes I forgot, Emily orange ninja of power" he stated.
