Morning

The ninjas were laying around trying to figure out what to do know...Right before they saw the motor boat coming towards them. "Grace!" Cole yelled happily as he jumped up, before running to the edge of the boat. "Hey guys!" Kim-Ly stated as she jumped off the boat, her bag in her hands much like Bunny's and Grace's. "I missed you." Cole stated to Grace as he hugged her, she giggled as she hugged him back. "Missed you two." Grace stated happily before realising that 2 people weren't with the group.

"...Where's Lloyd and Uncle Wu?" Grace asked, she felt Cole hold her hand in a comforting fashion. "I-I'll tell her." Cole told the others, who nodded their heads before Cole turned to Grace. "I think this would be better if...If we were alone." Cole told Grace, who breathed in before nodding her head in understanding before turning to Bunny and Kim-Ly. "I expect to see you 2 training when I return." Grace stated before she materialized her motor boat, which Cole jumped on. "We will!" Bunny and Kim-Ly yelled to Grace as she and Cole sped off to their beach.

At the Beach

Grace and Cole sat still, complete and awkward silence enveloped them. "What happened Cole..?" Grace asked after she felt that the silence had gone on long enough. Cole sighed before holding Grace hand.

...

...

"Sensei Wu left to try and find help while Lloyd...He...He was taken...By the Serpintine." Cole stated as he stared into Grace's eyes, which were starting to tear up. "...Come here." Cole stated as he opened his arms, and almost instantly Grace clung to him. To say Cole was surprised by the action would be a understatement. He had never seen Grace like this...And he hated it.

Her body shook with every sob, he felt her tears run through his ninja suit...She was heart broken..."Shhhh, shhh. It's okay Grace...I...I know it may not be much, but...But I'm here for you." Cole whispered to Grace, who clung onto him more it seemed after he said this. He couldn't help but feel bad for her, the always smiling girl who could kick his and the other boys butt (though that may not be true since 2 of the boys now had their full potential), was crying rivers and was basically a crying carcass of who she once was.

"...When I was 7 I...I failed at the Triple-Tiger-Sashay...That's my dancing accident...That's what caused me to be a laughing stock to my Quartet..." Cole confessed finally, he felt Grace stop crying as he told her. "...Grace..? A-Are you okay..?" Cole asked Grace, who looked up at him. Though her eyes were red and puffy she still smiled. "Thank you for telling me." Grace stated happily, before hugging Cole. Cole smiled into her hair as he hugged her back. "Did anything else happen while me and the girls were gone..?" Grace asked Cole, who frowned a bit.

"Yeah, the Serpentine have gotten the first fang blade and have a map for the other 3!" Cole stated, before he suddenly grinned. "But you can't believe how much cool stuff happened!" Cole exclaimed as he started to tell Grace everything that happened. From how he lifted Nya and Jay along with wights and a turkey (montage from episode 7), how Zane was a nindroid (episode 7 (Grace needed a bit of explaining for that)), how Jay had FINALLY asked out Nya (episode 8), and much more.

Yet Cole couldn't be happier then he was right now. He loved it when Grace laughed when him, how her eyes sparkled as she listened to him talk, how she moved her hands to explain things...He..."Grace...? I...I need to tell and ask you something." Cole stated quickly and quietly, instantly Grace gave all her attention to him.

"*takes in deep breath*...I...Even though we have only known each other for a short while my...Feeling for you have never stopped growing...You put time and consideration in everything you do for me and the others and I...I..!..." Cole paused as he tried to contain his blush, yet after a few breaths he regain his composure.

...

...

...

"I..I love you." Cole stated as he stared into Grace's surprised eyes. "A-And I would love it if...If you would be my girlfriend." Cole stated quietly, his voice the softest it's ever been...Yet he was with Grace right now, so he made a acception. "I...I love you to.." Grace whispered, her voice hoarse from her sobs. Yet Cole could have cried out joyfully to the world right now, he wanted to go to the tallest place in Ninjago and yell it to the skies that this was the best day of his life.

"A...And I would love to be your girlfriend...Th-that is...If you would be okay with being my boyfriend..." Grace whispered, her shyer side showing right now. Cole smiled down at her as he pulled her into a hug. "I would be honored to." Cole whispered to Grace before he spun her around, Grace couldn't help but giggle at this. What seemed like hours felt like minutes for the 2 as they danced to their hearts content, Cole learning bits and bits about the dances as Grace twirled for him.

The 2 finally realised how late it was when they saw the moon high in the sky, marking it as Midnight. "We...We better go." Grace stated as she brought her bow out, Cole nodded his head while trying to hide his blush. Yet Grace smirked as she put her bow back on her back. "Let's get there a new way." Grace whispered to Cole as she held her hands out for him to take, which he did after a few seconds. "Ready?" Grace asked Cole, who nodded his head.

Swiftly Grace stepped onto the water, carefully brining Cole onto it with her. "Just keep calm, and focus on me." Grace whispered to Cole as she saw him starting to panick. "Focus only on you? You act as if that's the toughest thing in the world." Cole whispered back at her, making Grace blush. Yet both enjoyed the peace of the night as they water skated (like ice skating but on water ya know?).

The 2 found themselves back on the bounty quickly, and sneaked past all the bedrooms before they were at Grace. "Thanks for the fun night Cole, sweet dreams." Grace whispered to Cole before she kissed him lightly on the lips, Cole felt his entire being warm up suddenly as he blushed at the kiss, right before she pulled away. "Y-Yeah..Sweet dreams." Cole stated as he awkwardly walked away, sometimes stumbling and running into different object.

Grace sighed happily as she entered her room and turned on the light...Only to see the girls waiting for her. "Geez! About time ya got home!" Kim-Ly stated as she playfully punched Grace's shoulder, Grace blushed. "So how was the nights festivities..?" Bunny asked Grace, who blushed before grinning. "Amaaaa-zing!" Grace chimed before she started to tell the girls every detail of it, all of them listened tentivly to her.

With the Boys

Cole sighed happily as he changed into his pajamas, before turning around to see the boys all awake and smirking at him. "Enjoy the night Casanova..?" Jay asked as he punched Cole's shoulder, Cole just stared at the boys in silence. "Come on Cole! Tell us what happened!" Zane urged on, and after a half an hour of constant pestering Cole groaned from under his pillow.

"Alright! But only so I can get some sleep!" Cole yelled before quickly telling the boys everything that happened, the boys listened to him though. "*whistles* Sounds like you got busy!" Jay stated as he punched Cole's shoulder again, the other boys each made small crack-pot jokes at it also. "Anyway, what happened to you guys..?" Cole asked, all the boys glanced at each other. "Weeeeelll..." Kai started before he and the other boys started to tell a story.

Earlier With Kai and Kim-Ly

Kai and Kim-Ly were playing video games, right before Kim-Ly won. "Hah! In yo face!" Kim-Ly yelled happily at Kai, who glared at her. "Best 16 out of 31!" Kai yelled angrily, Kim-Ly laughed at him though. "Dude! You aren't gonna win!" Kim-Ly stated happily, at this Kai smirked. "Okay how about this. If you win I take you out for dinner later on this week, but if I win you have to take me out to dinner." Kai stated, Kim-Ly stopped laughing before smirking at him. "So basically...You just wanna go out on a date with me." Kim-Ly stated, at this Kai blushed before shaking his head and picking up his controller.

"J-Just play!" Kai yelled, Kim-Ly only shrugged at this before she beat Kai in 4 moves. "Okay, that was just showing off." Kai stated to Kim-Ly, who grinned at him. "Eh, maybe...Also, how about on Friday we go to dinner (lets say in 4 days)?" Kim-Ly asked Kai, who blushed yet nodded his head. "Great! *kisses Kai on the cheek* Later!" Kim-Ly stated before getting up and walking out of the room. Kai blushed as he touched the cheek she kissed before suddenly falling backwards, suddenly feeling paralyzed.

With Zane and Bunny

Zane and Bunny were making a simple house of cards in the dinning room. "See..? It's much more fun then it seems." Bunny told Zane, who nodded his head before staring at the ground. "Is something wrong Zane..?" Bunny asked Zane as soon as she felt the heavy silence, Zane glanced up at her before back at the ground. "..You..You know know about me being a...A nindroid.." Zane stated, Bunny looked at him. "So..?" Bunny asked, Zane stared up at her.

Doesn't she...Feel repulsed..?' Zane thought to himself before he looked up at Bunny again, who was smiling down at him. "I don't feel repulsed by you Zane, in fact it just makes you even more interesting." Bunny stated happily, and Zane for a moment thought that the butterflies had snuck into his circuits again. "Th-Then would you like to...Um...Go out sometime..?" Zane asked, he remembered watching a movie where the guy used those words to ask a girl out on a date.

"Umm..Sure! I-I'd love to!" Bunny chimed, right before the house of cards fell. "Oops.." Bunny mumbled, yet Zane just waved it off. "It is alright, we can rebuild it." Zane stated, the response caused Bunny to smile at him before the 2 rebuilt the house of cards.

Present with Girls

"Looks like I wasn't the only one busy today!" Grace giggled happily, causing both Kim-Ly and Bunny to blush. "Aww shut up!" Kim-Ly yelled before she grabbed one of Grace's many pillows and throwing it at her. Yet Grace dodged and the pillow ended up hitting Nya. "Oh, it's on!" Nya stated as she to got one of Grace's pillows, and the girls soon got into a pillow fight.

Present with Boys

"And you guys were teasing me!" Cole laughed, Kai and Zane both blushed as Jay grinned at them. "Congrats dudes! Good luck!" Jay stated happily, before grinning. "Don't mess up and make them hate you!" Jay chimed, all 3 boys looked at each other before they threw their pillows at Jay, who fell off his top bunk and onto the ground. "Night boys!" Cole stated happily as he tucked himself into bed. "Good night (Zane)!" "Night. (Kai)." "Owwww (Jay)." all 3 boys responded before they fell asleep...

Even Jay, who ended up sleeping on the floor actually...
