Alyssa's POV

After locking the door to the "Bounty", as my friend Toria and I liked to call our hide out, I processed towards home. I walked Toria home and hurried back to my place of dwelling. I reached a small cottage not too far from town and went inside. No one was home, which makes sense since I live alone.

I got into my shabby bed and tried to sleep. After realizing I couldn't I sat up and thought. I thought about Toria, my best friend... I wouldn't be alive if not for her, but my family... I decided to try and sleep again. Finally succumbing to sleep, I drift off into sleep. Until tomorrow my friend...

~the next day~
I wake up exactly as my alarm does and beat it to the punch. After dawning my usual red sweater, black jeans, and short black boots, which are my only true clothes, I make breakfast. Slightly stale cereal and water was always my breakfast. Finally I finished getting ready and left to find Toria. I knocked and she answered.
"Hey Alyssa, ready to go?" I nodded
"Always nice to get away and hang there."

"Then let's go!" And on her words we left. As soon as we reached we noticed it looked... Cleaner... I walked up to the door to find it open. With Toria following closely behind me, we entered... Toria walked forwards, her fists clenched. She peeked in all the rooms. As we approached the last one, she stopped. She bent down, picking something up. She showed it to me and I saw it was a piece of blue fabric. "Same material used to make ninja suits..." she mumbled through clenched teeth.

Confused, I asked. "You mean ninja broke into the Bounty?" she nodded, and walked into the last room. Inside were the two bunk beds that were nailed to the floor. On each of the beds was a pair on pajamas. On the first one was a red on top and a white one on bottom. On the second one there was a black one on top and a blue one on bottom.

I frowned, because who ever lives here now, they took over my room. Her eyes narrowed as she tried to control herself. She stormed past me to her room, throwing it open as I followed.

I looked around. Her room was pretty crowded, a small dresser in one corner, a few selves on the wall, and a simple bed a few yards from the her door, there was a symbol. I never knew why she had it there. It was a large circle, with a star covering a triangle inside it.

"What're you getting?" She pulled out a small clear bag, two walkie-talkies, and her phone. She handed me one of the walkie-talkies, before walking out of the room. She closed and locked the door,before sticking her finger in the bag and sticking it on the center of the door. She repeated the action with each door, until whatever was in that bag was planted on each of the doors.

"So what was that for?" she pulled out her phone, typed in a password, and held it up. I could see outside of her room. "Woah! How'd you do that?" "Microscopic cameras." I held up the walkie-talkie. "And this?" "We'll sit in our rooms and see if anyone comes in. When they do, we'll surprise 'em..."

Toria's POV

I sat in my room, looking at the screen. Suddenly, eight people ran into the 'bridge' as I called it. The first one had brunette hair and green eyes. He wore a blue ninja suit. The second one had spiky brown hair and blue eyes. He wore a red ninja suit. Two more ran in, the taller one having blonde hair and soft, blue eyes. The shorter one had mop-head styled black hair and chocolate brown eyes. They wore their own colors of white and black. A man with a long white beard and straw hat ran in. He wore a white gi. A girl with black hair and grey eyes came in, holding a strange staff. She wore a red dress.

Two more grown-ups ran in, one with a dirty pair of overalls on and crazy white hair. The second one had white hair tied back in a bun with a few strands falling onto the shoulders of her blue dress. My eyes went wide. "Ed and Edna?! But, they're half snake!" "Bottom'ssss up!" Ed said, hitting the glass filled with green ooze against his wife's. They shook as a green light covered them. When the light cleared, they were back to normal. The one in blue repeatedly hit a large red button. "Why won't it work?!" "Would you like some h-h-help, son?

" he nodded, and his father fixed the button. "Hold on!" I looked out the window to see a bunch of half snake helicopters flying towards us, and the sails open into wings. I grabbed onto the bed, as it took off. After a bunch of rocking back and forth, we were flying steadily. "They're on the bridge!" I finally whispered into the walkie-talkie. "Heading there now!" Alyssa shouted over the device. I ran to the bridge, eyes narrowed.

Sensei's POV

I turned to the door as I heard footsteps, the others turning with me. Two girls ran through, one's eyes narrowed and the other looking us over. The one in tye-dye stepped forwards. "Hey, what're you doing on our ship?!" Kai asked. The girl scoffed. "Your ship? We're the ones with the keys!" her friend stepped forwards. "Toria, calm down. I'm sure they meant no harm."

"No harm, Alyssa? They're ninja! Shouldn't they have their own club instead of making someone else's fly?!" Toria sighed. "First, I need your names in order to properly yell at you, besides you two Ed and Edna." "O-o-of course Toria!" my students each said their names.

"Now, what do you mean you lived here?" Jay asked. "Oh, sweetheart," Edna said. "This is the girl we told you about. The one who wanted to fix up a ship." "Wait... Ed? Edna? It's really you? A-and THIS is YOUR Jay?!" "You know her?!" Jay asked. "Yeah, your parents' have helped me through some though stuff lately, and helped Toria build this place..." Alyssa smiled. "Oh, and I suppose you built all this stuff from scrap?" he asked.

"Sure thing! Besides the ship itself, Alyssa and I fixed up this place and we own it!" "Don't you have somewhere else to live?" Zane asked. "Yes but Alyssa's all alone at her place and I'm surrounded by kids at mine! You think we just cleaned up this place to make it look nice?! It's a place to do our homework, read, and just plain hangout!" she stomped her foot, making the ground shake.

"Toria, calm. Remember?" Alyssa asked with a hint of fear. Toria hung her head. I looked at her. "Well, how about we settle this in the living room?" she suggested, seemingly calmed down. "Let's." I said, leading the others out of the room. "So who are you guys?" "Alyssa and Toria!" Toria kept silent. "How old are you guys?" Cole asked. "Fifteen." Alyssa answered. "Nine and a half." Toria mumbled. "Wow, you have a lot of strength for your age! Do you any powers? Why'd you go to my parents to fix this place up?! Why-" "Enough!" Toria placed her fingers on the bridge of her nose.

"Yes, I am pretty strong. No, I don't have any powers. And I went to them since it would be free." "So, how'd you two meet?" Kai asked. "Oh, well... Let's just say I helped Alyssa out of a jam one day... And we became good friends since..."

Alyssa yawned, trying to muffle it, and to change the subject. "We should be getting home." she said. "Sorry, no can do." Jay said. "What?! Why?!" "If we go back the other way, the snakes will get us." Toria stood up and walked to another room to call her father

. "Dad, got stuck at the Bounty... No, we're okay... Look, I'll be home tomorrow... K, love you too daddy." she hung up and came back in. "Dad's fine with it, but I have to be home tomorrow." I nodded, watching them all go to their bedrooms, and went to what I made my room to meditate.
