"Ooo, I can't believe you're actually calling her!"
"Will you shut up, already?"
It was yesterday that Kai and Jay had had their little talk, and the red ninja had decided to simply take the risk and call her. However, Kai should have guessed that he would not be able to make the call alone, with the only phone being the landline in the control room. He was bound to have someone else in the vicinity, and that person just so happened to be Jay. The blue ninja wanted to be there for a "momentous" occasion such as this one, so there was no getting rid of him.
"It's ringing." Kai held a finger up to his lips as he put the phone to his ear.
"This is so exciting!" Jay whispered.
"Now be quiet so I can actually hear what she's saying."
"Don't worry, you won't even know I'm here."
"Yeah, like that'll happen in a mill-Hey, Sam!" Kai's tone of voice changed almost instantaneously.
"Hey, Kai!" Sam said from the other end of the line. "What's up?"
"Oh, nothing much, just taking a break from training," Kai said casually.
"How about you? What have you been up to?"
Jay gave his a brother a knowing look, which the red ninja tried very hard to ignore.
"Just studying," the girl replied.
It was silent for a moment before Kai cleared his throat.
"So yeah...I just wanted to call and ask if you wanted to go out sometime?"
At the mention of a date, the blue ninja began making kissy-faces in the background.
It was then that the red ninja covered the mouthpiece with his hand and scolded him.
"Would you cut it out it already?!"
Kai quickly put the phone against his ear again, praying that she hadn't thought he was talking to her.
"Sorry, that was just my teammate, Jay. He thinks he's being funny but he isn't." The red ninja shot a glare in his brother's direction.
In turn, the blue ninja feigned disappointment and shock, pretending to punch himself in the gut as though Kai's words had wounded him.
"So anyways, how about it? I mean, if you don't want to, that's fine too." The red ninja didn't want to sound too eager, or to put any sort of pressure on her.
"I'd like that," Sam said.
"Ah, good." He ran his hands through his spiky brown hair. It was all he could do to prevent from breathing a huge sigh of relief.
"Is it a yes?" Jay asked curiously from behind the red ninja's shoulder, unable to take to the suspense much longer.
Kai put his hand up in front of him as if to silence him. He nodded slightly to indicate that she had indeed said yes, however, Jay hadn't caught onto it yet. Instead, the blue ninja was still watching him intently with inquiring eyes.
"Do you wanna see a movie then?" Kai asked. "Whatever you wanna do."
"We could see a movie," Sam said. "How about the Lego movie?"
"Sounds good," the red ninja replied. He had actually been kinda wanting to see that. "Friday night, pick you up around 7?"
"Sure thing."
"Great, see you then."
Jay winked at his brother, who was now grinning like an idiot.
"'Kay, bye. Bye."
Kai hung up the phone, and all the energy that the blue ninja had been trying to contain exploded.
"So...?"
"She said yes."
"She said yes?!"
Jay gave him a high five, then began dancing around the room like he was the one that had been asked out.
"Woohoo! Yeah! See I told you she likes you!"
Kai smiled, his teammate's enthusiasm was contagious.
"You didn't tell me anything! Just that you deserved credit!"
"Yeah, and I do! Man, I am so good!" The blue ninja punched the air with his fists. Clearly, he wanted some recognition.
"Whatever, Jay," the red ninja said, waving his brother's comments aside. "If this goes well, then I might just thank you."
Sorry this chapter was so short! I felt like it needed to be its own separate entity with the phone call. So Kai has taken the plunge and has asked Sam out! How do you think the date is going to go? Keep reading to find out! And don't forget to review and subscribe! :D
