:)!

This chapter was fun :D

And to answer your question, Patata, (Sinceramente, no puedo recordar. Creo que lo vi en un libro, entonces lo usé en mi historia, pero no puedo recordar.) I honestly can't remember. I think I saw it in a book then I used it in my story, but I can't remember.

Disclaimer: I don't own Ninjago. Meh.

Nya stepped into the small restaurant. She felt a little awkward, standing there in dark jeans and a midnight blue tank top.

She decided to wait for a few more minutes. Sliding into a booth, she texted Ren.

Oh my overlord, I'm so nervous! Help!

Nya fiddled with her fingers and sighed, waiting for Ren to text back.

omo calm down its ok be cool. sit down. get something 2 drink. wait 2 order until he comes. chill

Nya ran a finger through her hair. She looked up anxiously. He still wasn't here yet.

"Can I get you something to drink?" asked the waiter who came by her table.

"Um, actually I'm waiting for someone, but thank you," she said.

He smiled and nodded, then scurried off.

Overlord, where was he?!

Ren, he's still not here!

overlord chill its only 12:24.

"Nya?"

She looked up to find Cole. He gave her a lopsided smile and sat down across from her.

"H-hey," she stammered.

"Hi," he said,

"May I get your order?" asked the waiter.

"I'll have water and a bacon cheeseburger" Nya said.

"Coke and a ranch chicken wrap for me," Cole answered.

Nya made a mental note: one more thing checked off of her list of things she wanted in a relationship with him.

He smiled and left, leaving the couple to themselves.

"So," he started, "I-I realized that it was a little too early for a kiss, and I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking clearly."

Nya nodded. "Yes, I agree with you," she looked down at her fingers, then back up. "but...I enjoyed it."

He smiled again. "So did I."

"I-it's just that I've never really been in a relationship with someone before," she admitted, blushing, "and in order for this to work...I think we'll need to take things a little slower."

He nodded. "I understand. I'm sorry."

She smiled. "Thank you."

There was a slight pause, then Cole asked: "Well, then. Should we just...start fresh?"

She nodded.

He grinned and pulled a piece of paper out of his bag. He handed it to her.

"I finished the remix," he announced, "all I need now is to record you playing the notes, then I'll insert it in and adjust as needed,"

"Great!" She said.

"Yeah," he smiled, taking a sip of his Coke. "I think it'll be great."

Another pause taunted them, neither sure of what to say.

"So can we treat this like an actual date, then?" He asked, absent-minded.

Red crept across Nya's cheeks, then she stuttered: "Y-yeah, I guess, since we're here..."

His grin became even wider. "Okay, then. So, Nya," he looked her in the eye. "tell me. How'd you get in with the table?"

"We went to preschool together. All of us were being bullied, so we ended up sticking together and fighting them off, one by one. It brought us closer throughout the school years." She sighed. "So why aren't you in with the Populars?"

He sighed, then answered: "Before I moved here, at my school, I was. I stopped hanging out with them when we almost got arrested for vandalism at one point. My family was pretty disappointed in me, so I stopped." He sighed again, and Nya saw something in his eyes that almost made her feel sorry for him.

"But I'm never going back," he spat.

She nodded. "I-um, I'm glad you're with us now," she said.

He flashed another grin. "So am I."

Nya bit her lip, wanting to ask the question she had desperately wanted to know the answer to.

He caught her little nervous habit. His eyebrows furrowed. "What is it?"

Eventually, she gave in. "Do...are you really in love with me?"

His expression softened. "I...yes. Yes, Nya, I am. I love everything about you-"

"That's what I don't understand!" She said, her voice a little louder. "You barely know me."

"Isn't that the purpose of a date?" He asked. "To get to know someone?"

She sighed, rubbing her face, embarrassed. "Oh, overlord, I'm sorry-"

"It's okay," he said, taking her hand. "just...I want to know you. So let's start off with something simple. What's your favorite color?"

"Blue," she said.

"Why?" He asked, listening.

"I..it makes me feel...safe, for some reason. Whenever I see it, it just kind of improves my mood a little." She smiled, and Cole's heart flew in his chest.

"What about you?" She asked.

"I like orange," he said. "I love it because it feels like it's the start of a brand new day. I-um, I realize this might sound stupid, but...I think...I think days are brave. They start anew every sunrise and it gives me hope to see it rise over the horizon every day."

She took his hand. "It's not stupid. I understand." Yet another grin spread across his face as he looked at her hand intertwined with his. Her hand was small and skinny, and his was larger than hers, but it seemed to be a perfect fit.

"Do you think that there's a chance we could try that kiss over after this?" She whispered.

He smiled.

"Definitely," he said.

"So!" She said. "You don't play video games, huh?"

"No," he said, "my dad is paranoid I'll end up becoming a complete psychopath,"

Nya chuckled. "I guess he wouldn't really like me, then."

He shrugged. "I don't know. But anyway..."

The two started talking, and throughout the conversations, Nya felt more and more positive about Cole.

She noticed that when he smiled, he had super small dimples that formed in his cheeks. His eyes lit up and it made her happy to see that she had made him laugh. She noticed he had muscles underneath his shirt, and she listened to everything he told her. His head was filled with wonderful thoughts and ideas.

After both of them had finished eating their food, Cole ordered dessert.

"How can you still eat?!" Nya asked.

"I always have room for cake," he said, "especially chocolate cake. It's my favorite."

Nya giggled at the look in his eye. It was so childish, and she loved it.

"I'll take a whole chocolate cake, please," he said.

"Overlord..." Nya muttered.

"Do you not like cake?"

"No! I love cake! You just seem to love it a lot more than I do."

He smirked. "I could live off of cake,"

"I couldn't," she said, "I'd get sick of it."

"I know for a fact I wouldn't. One time, when my dad wasn't home and I had the house to myself, all I ate was cake for six days. Three times a day."

"Overlord!" Nya laughed. Her smile was contagious; it caused Cole to start smiling and giggling like an idiot.

"Here you go, sir," said the waiter, placing a huge chocolate cake on the table.

"Thank you," Cole said, eyeing the piece of magnificence.

Nya busted out laughing.

He eyed her. "What is it?!"

"It's just...the look in your eye...it's hysterical!"

Cole frowned, trying to act mad, but ended up laughing with her.

When Nya calmed down, she dipped her finger in the icing and tasted it.

Cole stopped laughing, which caused Nya to crack up again.

"Oh, I'm about to be killed," she said.

Cole shook his head. "I'll let it slide...this time." He joked.

Nya smiled and giggled. His chest was filled with a sudden happiness.

"Your smile is beautiful," he commented.

"Are you talking to me or the cake?" Her question made her laugh.

"You," he said, eyeing the cake.

Nya laughed once more.

Cole reluctantly shared his cake with her, and the two laughed and joked until they were stuffed.

[ { } ]

Outside, Nya and Cole were standing together, holding hands.

"That was a lot of fun," she said, "thank you."

His grin flashed at her. "You're welcome. I had a lot of fun, too."

She leaned her head on his chest and he hugged her. She looked up at him, her silvery-hazel eyes shining.

He swept in and swiftly closed the distance to her lips. He could feel her smile against him.

Once they separated, she looked up at him.

"Too early?" He whispered.

"Just right," she said, then kissed him more.

Meh. Oh well.

:D Kissy kiss kiss! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
