Vivi and Lloyd ran into Jada's room, just to see that she was gone. The room was ransacked! Everything was strewn everywhere! Vivi picked up a broken mirror from the ground, cutting her finger in the process. "Ouch!" Dropping the mirror, she examined her bleeding fingertip. "Why I became a ninja is beyond me."
Lloyd took her hand in his own and looked at her finger. He delicately wiped the droplet of blood away. He then did something that made Vivi blush from head to toe; he kissed her hand. "All better?" He asked, smiling at her.
She timidly brushed her light brown hair behind her ear and nodded. "Ummm . . ." She was at a loss for words. "We should investigate or something?"
"Right! Right, sorry," Lloyd muttered. He looked atop the dresser. Picking up a photograph and examining it, he changed the subject. "I feel like a detective, investigating a ransacking and kidnapping!"
"Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew," Vivi laughed. "That's who we are. Do you like Frank or Joe better?" After an awkward pause, she turned to face Lloyd.
He stared at the photograph in his hand, blushing. "I, uh, never read Hardy Boys," he admitted. The green ninja looked over at Vivi. "Growing up at Darkly's, I didn't read much." Vivi muttered an 'oh' and went back to searching through the piles of clothes that had been thrown on the ground. Lloyd sighed, wishing he had a better childhood.
They worked in silence for a second. Vivi bit her lip to refrain from saying anything stupid, which she was positive she would. "You don't seem to concerned about your sister being kidnapped," Lloyd pointed out finally.
Vivi shrugged. "She's strong, I know she can handle herself." She walked over to Lloyd, taking the photograph from his hand. "You have been staring at this thing for the past ten minutes! What's your deal?" Upon seeing who was in the photo, Vivi put it down. "Oh, right."
"Who is that? With your sister?" Lloyd asked, quietly. Not wanting to pry, but curious enough to ask.
"Her ex," Vivi whispered, looking at the black haired, green eyed boy in the photo. "Tony. He faked this nice act, gave me candy and stuff, but then abandoned her once she gave him some money. She doesn't trust anyone anymore."
"I'd never abandon you," Lloyd murmured, looking at the happy faces in the picture. "I mean, hypothetically! If you became my girlfriend, hypothetically, and you had the same trust issue as Jada, hypothetically, I wouldn't abandon you. Hypothetically," the green-clad boy added quickly, blushing.
"I'd never hypothetically abandon you either," Vivi mumbled, leaning towards Lloyd. Lloyd leaned towards her too.
Just as their lips were centimetres away, Jay announced, "Did you guys ransack my cousin's room?"
