(Mel's POV)
Robotic Ninja?! That's what they called me?! I couldn't believe their hurtful words. "I'm so sorry you had to see that. They don't know you like I do. They are hurtful people, not knowing the extent of their words." I still felt horrible, but I knew Zane was right. I felt his strong hand lift up my chin until I was looking into his beautiful blue eyes. "Try to forget about it. Try to think about better things." He gently kissed me, I remembered my dream and felt a little better. "Tell me about your dream." Zane said in a hushed tone. We sat down on his bed and I recalled it...
Zane laced his hand with mine as we walked along the beach, the sun setting on the horizon. "I can't believe Jay and Nya just got married!" I said. Zane smiled and gently squeezed my hand, "That was a nice wedding. Would you ever want to get married?" I replied, "As long as it's to you." He stopped and looked into my eyes, "Then, Melissa," He got down onto one knee and asked, "will you marry me?" He pulled out the ring and I tackled him in a hug, repeating, "Yes! Yes! Yes!"
I looked away from him as my face burned from blushing. I can't believe I just told him about that! What if he doesn't feel the same way? I want to be with him forever, would he want the same? He gently turned me to face him, I saw he was blushing as well. "Why are you blushing?" Zane asked me. I played with my hair and mumbled, "Because...I hope that happens.." He brought his lips to mine and kissed me gently, "I would love it if we spend the rest of our lives together." I smiled and rested against him. I listened to the sound of his heart as it lulled me almost to fall asleep, but his deep voice woke me back up, "Nya wishes us to visit her on the Bounty." "Okay, let's go." I said, Zane laced his hand with mine and we walked outside.

We landed on the deck of the newly rebuilt Destiny's Bounty, the other Ninja and Nya came out and greeted us. "Hey, guys. How's it going?" Kai asked. "Uh..pretty well." I said. "What are you doing here?" Cole asked. "Nya wished to speak with me." Zane replied, glancing at her. "Hey, do you wanna play some video games?" Kai asked. I nodded, he and the rest led me away as Zane and Nya talked. We walked below deck as the old rooms and memories surrounded me. Finding the Bounty with Zane, finding out Lloyd was the Green Ninja, the Great Devourer attacking. So many memories over the years, it made me smile as we went to the gaming room. "Hey, Mel, I bet I can beat you in Fist to Face 2!" Kai challenged. "You're on!"
