Random sipped on a cup of tea as she observed the room she had just walked into. She had left shortly after making her pie throwing announcement to go get a snack, which ended up taking a little longer than neccisary, but she was sure the ninja could take care of themselves for a short while. Cole and Zane where still standing in the middle of the room, only now one of them was completely covered in pie.

Cole wiped some filling away from his eyes, and glanced over at Zane to see that the white ninja was still as clean as he was before people started throwing pies.

"Well this was unexpected," Zane stated," I would have expected that at least one person would have thrown at me."

"At least it's obvious who the winner is," Random pointed out.

Kai suddenly jumped up, reaching for his sword as he stared at the seat next to him. The other ninja looked over and saw that a cat hybrid had suddenly appeared in the room.

Random calmly took a sip of her tea, placed the cup down on a table that had appeared next to her, then leapt across the room and hugged the hybrid," You're alive! I was starting to think I'd never see you around here again Joy. Did you manage to break reality?"

Random then noticed all the ninja staring at her, and quickly released the feline and stood up," Anyways, it's time to see which of the stories I will be working on."

She walked over to the two ninja in the center of the room," Cole, if you would please open your paper."

The black ninja did so, revealing the name of the story 'Hidden in the Dark.'

"Hold on," Jay glanced at Zane as he opened his, which had 'Spirits' printed on it," How do we know you didn't have this rigged or something?"

"Oh that's easy," Random replied," You are featured as the first character to appear in both stories, right?"

"Yeah."

"Well the first person you make friends with in Spirits is Zane, and the first person you make friends with in Hidden in the Dark is Cole. I had this planned from the start."

"Ohh..."

"Also Jay, since you wanted to throw pie and because one person specifically stated that they wanted Spirits to win, you can throw these cupcakes at Zane," Random pulled out a tray of pink colored cupcakes, and handed them to the blue ninja.

"I do not think that is necessary," Zane stated, taking a step away from Jay.

"Of course it is Z," Random smiled at the nindroid," I would hate for you to feel left out cause no one wanted to throw anything at you."

"Is anyone going to explain the cat thing that just showed up?" Kai blurted out, not taking his gaze away from Joy.

"Oh, that's just a fellow author visiting for a little bit, don't worry about them. Now I would like to thank everyone who participated. I can't say when I'll be able to start posting the rewrite, given I'm also working on creating my own comic, and have plenty of gifts to make for family and friends, but I'll try and post a few one shots on here in the meantime so that I you still have something to read while I'm working on it."

Zane suddenly went running by, covered in pink icing as Jay gave chase, throwing more cupcakes at the nindroid.

"How many cupcakes did you give him?" Cole asked, while eating some pie filling.

"I left a few more trays out in the back for everyone to have some, I guess he found them. Anyways, I hope you all are having a lovely day, night, or whatever time it is when you read this. Again, thanks for helping out."
