CHAPTER 25

AT THE PARK

NYA`S POV:

I made my way over to the park, climbing out of the car and making my way over to the park bench that Jay and I always sit at whenever we spend the night at the park after going out to dinner. I saw that Jay wasn't at the bench yet. He's always know for being a few minutes late, especially if it's something important. I sighed, taking a seat. I looked around to see that there wasn't many visitors in the park. There were a pair of children over at the playground, a couple of people walking their dogs and a father and son driving a toy speedboat in the lake. I smiled, seeing that so many people had a lot of happiness in their hearts. What about me? I have so much to worry about what with having to save Ninjago and all. I feel as though I'm saving the entire world.

I saw a pick-up truck park out in the parking lot. It looked pretty scratched up. It has to be Jay. I stood up, walking over to the entrance to see it was him, waving at me with a smile on his face. I had the urge to place one on mine, but I just didn't have that feeling in me. I just had the urge to walk up and hug Jay with all the might I had. He did the same, only he didn't embrace me too strongly. He never had any muscles. Or abs. He was tough, though, even if he is a bit goofy at times.

Kissing me on the lips, his eyes were placed on mine. "I missed you a lot."

"So did I," I said, "Come on. Let's go to our bench."

Once we made our way over to the bench, Jay placed his hands in mine. "It feels like forever since we've spent any time together. Is everything okay? You've cancelled two dates in a row. That's kind of suspicious, even for you."

"I know things haven't been normal for the past couple of weeks. I invited you here because I need to discuss with you about something. You're gonna figure it out sooner or later, so I might as well tell you now."

"What is it?"

"Jay, I've been given a title. I'm the mistress of water."

"The mistress of water? Are you talking about the legendary mistresses of spinjitzu? You're the next heir as one of them?"

"Yes, I am."

"I can't believe it. Things are getting a lot better and stranger than usual. Better because Ninjago might actually be a nice place to live. Stranger because things are about to get pretty crazy."

"I know. It's really getting all weird, huh?"

"Yeah. You know, I'm really glad you told me about this."

"I'm glad I was able to tell you. This is the only time that we have together before I have to leave tomorrow."

"I thought you just got back this morning. That's why you called me."

"Yes, but Misako wants us to go back out and find our weapons."

"Weapons? Wow, you're really starting to become the masters. There were four golden weapons and now there's more. Are they gold?"

"No, they're silver."

"Silver weapons? I wonder who created those."

"I wonder that myself."

"So did you find all the mistresses?"

"Yeah. We found them all. Pixal and I are mistresses. We found two other girls. One is from a village in the middle of the jungle and the other lives in the woods close to a village around a spot on the map called Spaintown. The girl from the jungle is Kitty and the one from the woods is Carol."

"You all found some crazy mistresses."

"Well, it wasn't my decision. It was faith that chose them."

"So what are the other's title?"

"Well, as you know, I'm the mistress of water, Pixal is the mistress of sound, Kitty is the mistress of the wild and Carol is the mistress of animals. I have a feeling that there's someone else, though."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm just wondering. If Lloyd is the master of light, then isn't there a mistress of light?"

"That's actually a really good question. Is there a mistress of light?"

"I'm not sure, but I won't ask Misako about it just yet. She's already having to worry about the weapons and all that."

"I bet."

"So since we're still here, do you want to go out on a walk?"

"Go out on a walk? Are you kidding? Let's do something else. How about we take a dip in the lake? We always do that when we come here."

"Jay, it's the middle of the day time. We only swim in there at night where nobody can see us. There are people around here."

"Well, are you craving for some pretzels and soda? I'm paying."

"We always have pretzels and sodas every time we come to the park."

"Well,if you want to, we can make out over at our special tree."

"I don't see why we can't. After all, we haven't had a chance to kiss each other for a while."

"Well, let's go."

Jay and I walked over to the tree and sat down, our initials floating over our heads. We made out for a good bit. Some people passed by us. Mothers shield their children's eyes, dog walkers gave us dirty looks, and some dating couples kept telling us to get a room. None of that mattered to me. I was happy at the moment. This is where I want to be. Sitting against this tree, having my lips on Jay`s at all times. I never wanted this to end. I would rather Jay and I be wrapped in each other's arms for the rest of our lives and we would never let go. To me, this was heaven.

Unfortunately, the ringtone on my phone had to ruin everything. I sighed, taking it out of my purse, seeing that it was Misako.

I sighed. "Hold on a second, Jay. It's Misako."

"Oh, okay," Jay said.

I answered the phone. "Hello?"

"Hello, Nya, it's Misako," Misako said, "I need you to come home right away."

"Why? Is everything okay?"

"Everything's fine. I have some news, though. I was able to find the scroll on the silver weapons. It seems as though the scroll explains which is which and the history of how and why they were created."

"That's good to hear."

"Are you alright, Nya? Was I interrupting something?"

"I'm fine. It's just that Jay and I were spending some quality time together."

"That's good to hear. I really need you to return to the monastery, though. We have much to discuss."

"I understand, Misako. I'll be there soon."

"I'll see you then. Bye."

"Bye." I hung up the phone.

"So what did Misako say?" Jay asked.

"Well, there's some good news," I said, "Misako was able to find information about the silver weapons."

"That's good to hear."

"The bad news is that she wants to discuss it right away so I need to return back to the monastery immediately."

"Oh. Well, that's okay. At least we had a little time to ourselves."

I sighed. "I wish we could have all the time to ourselves. Back when you were the master of lightning. Back when I was the samurai and that's all I was. The time when I never became the mistress of water."

"Nya, I'm always gonna be the master of lightning. You have one of the greatest opportunities in the world. Make something out of it. If you ask me, I'd say that you should use your elemental ability like a water gun and hit the villain with your best shot."

"You're right. I should do that."

"I'm giving you permission to do it."

"I have to do what it takes. My mother wasn't the mistress of water, but I am. I'll do the things that nobody has ever done before. Not even her. I just have to do it."

"I know you can do it. I believe in you, Nya. The faith of Ninjago is counting on you. You have a chance. Take it and not leave it. Never quit. Remember the old saying."

"A ninja never quits. I'll remember that." I kissed Jay on the cheek, making him blush a bit. "Don't call me while I'm gone. I'll call you."

"Alright. I love you."

"I love you, too, Jay."

After a moment of staring at one another, Jay and I went our separate ways. As I started my car, I went back to the moment where the both of us were making out at that tree. I wish there was a way I could replay that scene. Over and over again.

IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING, NYA AND JAY MAKING OUT WASN'T A BAD THING. I THOUGHT IT WAS A BIT HILARIOUS TO SEE THAT THOSE TWO WERE KISSING BEHIND A TREE AND PEOPLE COULD STILL SEE THEM, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. IT WAS KIND OF ROMANTIC, THOUGH.

WELL, THAT'S IT FOR ME. SEE YOU ALL ON MONDAY.

I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED THIS CHAPTER.
