Chapter Nine: Girl's Day Out

1

It had been nearly a week since Blair had ran out to try and find her sister, Lydia. All they had done was training and more training. Garmadon and Misako decided that it would be best if they left early so they would not be a distraction to their son while he trained.

"Remember, if you need our help, we will be ready and willing to help. Trust me, darkness is a powerful thing that is not easily overcome, but it can be done," Garmadon said to his son as he prepared to leave.

"Thanks, dad," Lloyd said hugging Garmadon.

Lloyd turned to Misako who said, "I love you so much, Lloyd. Stay safe." She then hugged Lloyd as well.

Everyone else waved goodbye as Lloyd's parents left the bounty and started on their walk back home. They had been offered a ride but they insisted that they take a nice walk back instead. Jay didn't think that there could be such a thing as a "nice walk" unless, of course, it was with Nya. He then thought how Misako was like Nya to Garmadon and a "nice walk" made more sense.

Nya was in her bed reading a book when Blair came into their room from training. Nya had been training too earlier but it was pretty late now. Blair was sweaty and looked exhausted.

"My body feels like if I move any more, it's going to shut down," the yellow ninja said as she threw herself face down onto her bed.

Putting down her book, Nya said, "Why don't you take a sho..."

"I guess I had better take a shower," Blair interrupted not seeming to notice Nya telling her to go shower.

"Alright, then," Nya said to herself as Blair went into the bathroom. The girls were staying in what was Lydia and Blair's room, but now Blair slept on the bottom because, as silly as it sounds, she felt like sleeping where her sister used to made her feel better.

As Blair showered, Nya resumed her book and thought of how she was glad she was a samurai and not a ninja. If she had been a ninja, she would be just as sweaty, tired, and sore as Blair. Then she began to feel bad for Blair for having to train so hard after all she had been through and will have to go through.

When Blair came out of the bathroom, hair still dripping, Nya unexpectedly said, "Do you know what we need? A girl's day."

"A girl's day?"

"Sure, tomorrow we could take a break from training, go to Ninjago city, and just have a girl's only day. What do you think?"

"It's not a bad idea. In fact, it may be fun. The only thing is if Sensei will let us."

To this, Nya replied, "I think that he will think it's ok. Besides, growing up with a brother I never had a girl's day out before."

"I never really have either. What should we do?"

"Oh, I don't know. I'll think it out in the morning. Goodnight." Nya then hopped out of bed to turn off the light.

"Blair, Blair, Blair! Wake up!" Nya said shaking Blair's shoulder.

"What? It's time already?" the half asleep ninja said as she yawned.

"Yeah, and guess what? Sensei Wu gave everyone the day off to do whatever we pleased. Isn't that great?"

"Yeah, great," Blair said as she rolled over to fall back asleep.

Nya sighed, "You better be ready in 30 minutes to leave." She then left to have breakfast.

"A girl's day?" Nya's brother asked.

"Yeah, a day for me and Blair."

"What are you going to do on your 'girl's day'," Kai said thinking that the idea was sort of ridiculous.

"Well, we are going to go shopping, get our nails done, and maybe get ice cream."

"Whatever," the red ninja said.

"Mmm, what's for breakfast today?" Jay asked. As he walked farther into the room and saw Nya, he thought that she had never looked prettier. She was not wearing her usual clothes. She was, instead, wearing a cute blue summer dress with a brown belt at her waist. On her feet she wore brown flats that matched her belt. It wasn't often Jay got to see Nya wear something like this. "H..hi Nya, you look pretty today."

"She's going on a girls only day with Blair," Kai said.

"Oh, can I come too?" Jay asked.

"No, Jay, that's why it's called a girls only day," Nya said.

As everyone continued to eat breakfast and discuss what everyone else would do on their free day (this mostly consisted of food, video games, and competitions) Blair made her way into the dining room. She was wearing a yellow skirt that stopped just above her knees like Nya's dress, a black and white striped shirt, and black flats.

"You look nice," Lloyd said awkwardly. He, along with the others, never really thought about her being a girl. From the very first day, Blair had been one of them.

"Thank you," Blair said.

"Aren't you going to have breakfast," the ninja of ice said.

"No, I'm not really hungry."

"Then are you ready to go?" Nya asked.

"Yep, I'm all set."

"Bye everyone. We should be back before dark," Nya said as they headed out of the door. Everyone else waved goodbye back.

Nya and Blair weren't too far from Ninjago City, but they still didn't want to walk. Blair suggested that they take the motorcycles, which they did. Blair rode her own and Nya used her brother's. She hadn't had a chance to yet, but Nya was going to make one for herself too.

"Since we are not too far, do you want to fly?" Nya said hopping on Kai's bike.

"What kind of a question is that?" Blair said. "Of course I want to fly there"

Not only was it a little tricky riding a motorcycle in a dress and skirt, it was especially difficult flying in a dress in skirt. Luckily, it was only the two girls so they didn't really care. They did, however, decide that it would be best to walk as they got into the city.

"So, Nya, what do you have planned to do first?" Blair asked.

"First, we are going to get our nails done," Nya said. "Have you ever gotten them done before?"

"No, I haven't. What about you?"

"Nope, me neither. I guess this will be a first for both of us."

The girls walked and chatted for a bit until they arrived at the salon. "Here we are," Nya said opening the door for her and Blair.

"Hello, we would like a manicure today," Nya said to the lady at the desk. She didn't look like the friendliest person, not that she looked mean, but just nasty. She had super thick makeup on; none of it matches her skin tone. She had a really strong tan, obviously fake, bright pink lipstick, thick blue eyeshadow, long fake eyelashes, blonde hair with pink tips, and to top it all off, really long and gross nails. Let's also not forget her big green hoop earrings and her super short and low cut dress (it looked more like a shirt to Nya and Blair).

"Alright, just the two of you," said the lady as if she loathed her job.

"Yeah it's just us," Blair said trying her best not to stare.

"Go on in," the lady said before pulling her phone out of her "dress" and looking at it.

Nya and Blair say down on the comfy looking chairs for getting manicures and another lady came out. She looked the same way the lady at the desk looked like.

"Hi, my name is Julie and I'll be doing your nails today," Julie said in the same kill me now voice as the lady at the desk. "What would you girls like done today?"

"Um, I think that we just want surprised," Nya said.

"Yeah, just as long as it's not too long or anything," Blair added.

"Alright, let's get started," Julie said as she grabbed some nail polish off the wall.

By the time Blair and Nya were done, they had been in the salon for 45 minutes total. Nya's nails were blue to match her dress with a white lace pattern on the top. Lydia's were a yellow and pink chevron pattern.

After leaving Nya said, "They may not have been really friendly, but at least they gave us pretty nails."

"What, you didn't think that they were the nicest people you had ever met?" Blair said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "But you're right, at least we have fancy nails now. What is next on the agenda of our girl's day?"

"We are going to the movies next."

"Cool, what are we going to see?"

"It's the one called Wilting Lily," Nya said. Wilting Lily was one of those cheesy chick flicks about a girl who was depressed until she found her Prince Charming and so on. Nya knew they couldn't have an official girl's day without going to see a chick flick, no matter how cheesy. Blair was a little disappointed that they were not going to see an action movie.

The movie theatre was farther away so the ninja and samurai decided to take a taxi. They got to the theatre, got loads of popcorn, and went to sit down until the movie started.

"Oh, Johnny, I don't know what I would do without you."

Blair look at her watch an was disgusted when she realized there was still another hour of the movie to go. She didn't want to tell Nya how bored she was because she thought Nya was enjoying herself. Nya, on the other hand, was think the exact same thing as Blair until she saw Blair check her watch in disgust.

Leaning over to Blair Nya whispered, "Are you as bored as I am?"

"Yes, I'm dying. This is the worst movie ever!"

"Good lets go."

They then squeezed their way out of all the crying girls with their boyfriends and/or friends, and left.

"So what brilliant activity do you have planned next," Blair said.

"Well, next is get lunch but I'm not hungry after all that popcorn. After that is shopping."

"Shopping?" Blair said very unenthusiastically.

"Yeah, nothing else I have planned sounds too fun. I guess we just aren't cut out for a girl's day."

"Yeah, I guess not."

They started to walk down the sidewalk until something caught Blair's eye.

"Hey, who said you had to do all that girly stuff on a girl's day," Blair said.

"What do you mean, Blair?" Nya asked.

"What I mean is why can't we do something like that," Blair said pointing to a large building that was a trampoline park.

"I don't see why not, unless you want to go buy shoes."

"Are you kidding me?"

Without another word, Blair linked arms with Nya and ran into the massive building. They had to register and then they were free to go and jump around in the room full of trampolines. For hours the girls jumped around and talked and ate loads of snacks. There was also an arcade there which they did, of course. The only reason they left was because the place was closing for the day.

"What? It's already 6:30?" Blair asked.

"Yeah, and that's when we close," said the man who worked there.

Nya and Blair left the place laughing, sweaty, and about to have a heart attack from jumping for so long.

"Now that was fun. Especially when.." Nya started to say until she was interrupted by Blair.

"That one game in the arcade was great. How you danced around on that mat was hysterical!"

"Are you aware that you do that?" Nya asked Blair.

Blair looked confused. "Do what?"

"Well, you interrupt people right when they are talking like you don't care what they have to say."

"Oh, I do that? You weren't talking, were you?"

Nya sighed, "Yeah, I was talking and you did that last night to me too."

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to. Sometimes, I just don't pay attention to when others are talking."

"Did you do that to Lydia?" Nya asked.

Blair replied, "I don't know. I hope not."

"Could that be part of the reason why she was angry with you?"

"She wouldn't be angry with me for interrupting her when she spoke."

"No, I think she would be angry at being not noticed. When you do that, it's like you weren't paying attention and you were more important."

Blair said, "Oh, I'm sorry if I offended you."

"No, you didn't offend me. What I'm saying is perhaps your sister thought that way," Nya said.

"I hope not, I hate for her to think that I think she's unimportant."

The way home was pleasant. The sun was setting and the cool summer wind was blowing past Nya and Blair as they flew home.

The girls were walking onto the Bounty talking and smiling, but their smiles faded when they saw their Sensei and the other ninja running out. They didn't look very excited either.

"Guys, what's wrong?" Blair asked.

All Sensei Wu said was, "Something is very wrong."

Duh, duh, duhhh cliff hanger. Don't you just love them? I tried to make this a more lighthearted chapter because the next few will probably be about Lydia and will not be lighthearted. That's all I am going to say.

Anyway, a huge thank you to ZaneLoverFan88 for reviewing. It was really sweet and I couldn't stop smiling as I read it. I also would like to thank legolover101 for reviewing. I will try to make my next chapter a 3000+ word chapter just for you.

Now I have a question for all of you: Who do you think best fits your personality- Jay, Kai, Lloyd, Zane, Cole, Blair, Lydia, Nya, Sensei Wu, or do you think you are a combination of some. Comment on who you think you are. God Bless!
