Chapter 28
Kai was just lounging on the couch chirping and debating if he should ask Bryn to be his girlfriend, you know the normal stuff. When Lloyd walking in soaking wet, looking not so happy anymore and went to the training room. Kai groaned, oh no, when ever Lloyd went to train when he didn't have to it meant something bad had happened and was were Lloyd spent a lot more time at after his father died, and after being possessed, so basically any time he was feeling stressed, sad, or guilty. So that meant Kai the wonderful person he was, would have to go comfort Lloyd, plus he was really curious what had happened. Kai Got up and logged out of chirper, and walked down the hall into the training room. If Lloyd knew Kai had entered he didn't show it, Lloyd look very frustrated and perplexed as he repeatedly hit the punching bag.
Kai leaned against the training room wall trying to find a comfy position, "What happened?" Asked Kai
Lloyd whipped around only now learning that Kai had been in the room, "Why would you think anything happened?" Lloyd asked, not entirely sure when Kai had entered the training room.
Kai just sighed and rolled his eyes, so Lloyd was going to be difficult today huh? "Oh please, I'm your best friend, I know your habits. You always train when you have something on your mind." Kai explained
Lloyd groaned as he stopped punching the punching bag "You aren't going to leave till I tell you, aren't you." Lloyd questioned the fire ninja
Kai shook his head, "Yep, basically" Kai responded
Lloyd signed, "I almost killed Cassie" Lloyd said
Kai waved his hand, motioning Lloyd to go on telling what had happened, "go on, I want to hear the whole story" Kai said
Lloyd sighed, "Of course you do. Well you know how I told you there was a dangerous waterfall 15 miles from the place we were going to get out of the river?" Lloyd asked Kai who nodded in return.
"Well I some how started a lot closer to the waterfall than I originally intended… and we almost went over. I… I almost couldn't make my dragon fast enough" Lloyd explained
Kai nodded in understanding, "Is she mad at you?" Kai asked hoping the two hadn't hit another bump in their relationship.
Lloyd shook his head, "No she told me not to feel guilty about it… but it didn't help the guilt much" Lloyd told Kai, hoping he understood.
Kai though for a moment, how was he suppose to respond to that? "Um… if she isn't mad do make a bigger deal of it than it really is, any one could have made that mistake" Kai said.
Lloyd shrugged, not feeling much better "Maybe… Oh! have you asked Bryn out yet?" Lloyd asked trying to change the subject.
Kai frowned, "no not yet…"
Lloyd frowned as well "Well then you guys should met at the park today and you could ask her" Lloyd suggested
Kai frowned a little, "Well maybe... but where would I even take her?" Kai asked
Lloyd let out a small chuckle, "You want my advice? Me, the person who almost killed there girlfriend? Sorry but you've got the wrong guy" Lloyd said
Kai smirked a little, "you got that right, and I'm not desperate enough to ask you for girl advice…yet" Kai added
Lloyd shrugged, "that's probably a good thing… but seriously you should just take her to a fancy restaurant something… or maybe to a concert or something? I don't know, I don't have much experience…" Lloyd said
Kai though for a moment maybe Lloyd was right he should just ask her, "You know what you're right, I will text her to meet me by the titanium ninja statue in 10 minutes" Kai said as he pulled out his phone to text Bryn.
Bryn was walking home from the river because she had Ava drop her off and Ava was to busy to pick her back up. After about half an hour of walking (The River was FAR away from Ninjago city) she got a text from Kai to meet him by the titanium ninja statue in ten minutes because he had to tell her something. Bryn Checked Google maps on her phone she should be able to get there in 7 minutes so decided to meet Kai there before she got home. Bryn had walked a little faster and got there one minute faster, impressive right? And saw that Kai was already there, she jogged up to him, "Hey Kai so what did you want to tell me?" Bryn asked Kai.
Kai didn't see Bryn approach him and jumped at seeing she was already here, "Oh well you know when we went on a date to the baseball game" Kai asked.
Bryn nodded wondering where this was leading, "Yep, that was really fun" She responded recalling how at one point she almost torched Ninjago city…
Kai started to fidget with his jean pockets a little from nervousness, "Yeah well I was wondering if you wanted to go on another date, but just to make it official, this date… would you go as my girlfriend?" Kai asked
Bryn smiled widened, and she lightly punched Kai on his shoulder, "Kai you don't have to be nervous, of course I will, why I would agree to the first date if I didn't have a crush on you?" Bryn question the fire ninja.
Kai's head shot up, "You had a crush on me?!" Kai said, Bryn groaned, oh great, she had just brought up his ego.
Kai's confident smile returned, "I mean of course you had a crush on me, all the lady's love me." Kai said cockily.
Bryn rolled her eyes, "Don't push your luck mister, just because I had a crush on you doesn't mean I enjoy to listen to you complimenting yourself" Bryn reminded him
Kai smiled, "Whoa hold up a second! You don't like listening to me compliment myself? Who doesn't love that?!" Kai said
Bryn rolled her eyes clearly not amused, "Just shows what you know… any way I have to start home now I am already an hour late." Bryn explained
Kai nodded in understanding, "Yeah I will drop you off your family is probably super worried, once Lloyd was 20 minutes late and we started telling everyone he was kidnapped." Kai explained
Bryn blinked a few times to make sure she heard Kai right before responding, "Wow. You guys are really… weird… and I don't think my parents will do anything that crazy…" Bryn said
Kai raised his left eyebrow, "Did you just call me crazy?" Kai asked Bryn
"Yep"
Kai nodded, "You're right off course. But seriously you should get home." Kai explained
10 minutes later: Ava's house
Bryn walked in her sister's house in a much better mood than she was in after the white river rafting "accident" But soon remembered her purpose for walking to Ava's house she had to tell her that she was "quitting" her "job", which was also a non paying job, sooo…. But honestly Bryn could understand why Ava took her job way to seriously, both their parents were writer's but their mom was the author of the bestselling book series in ALL of ninjago and their dad owned the biggest publication company in ALL of ninjago so they hardly had enough time to pay attention to them. So doing well in her job may mean she would get her parents attention. But that wasn't an excuse to but others life's in danger... TO GET A STORY!
But as soon as she walking in the room she knew her sister was in a good mood, "Bryn!" Ava ran up to hug her and Bryn flinched this was very unlike her sister who was always in work mood, "Oh Bryn you will never believe what happened today at work!" Ava said
Bryn frowned, "You work… on Sunday?" Bryn asked
Ava rolled her eyes, "Of course I do I need the extra time to get ahead of the other magazine companies!" And there it was, Ava's work obsession was starting to show.
Ava's smile widened, "Well today I got award for being the best employee of the year for doing all those stories on the ninja! Isn't that great!" Ava said "Oh and where were you were an hour late I was getting worried!" Ava said
Bryn was a great liar, she could keep at straight face when lying to anyone… except her sister, "My and Kai were talking…"
Ava interrupted, "Talking…. As in alone! About what!" Ava impatiently asked as she leaned in.
Bryn softly smiled, "He asked me out… we are now official dating" Bryn said
Ava smiled "that's great! Oh and do you got that damsel in distress story I need for Wednesday's issue?" Ava asked
Bryn gulped this was the difficult part, "Yeah I did… but Ava I wanted to tell you that this was my last story, I quit I'm done, I can't do this to my best friend any more" Bryn explained to her sister.
Ava's frown vanished and in its place was Ava's infamous death stare, "Either yours or Cassie's love life will be on display for the public, and I doubt once Kai finds out what you have been doing he will like you anymore. So chose you going to make Kai and your life miserable or Cassie's and Lloyd's slightly more difficult, because believe me if you though what I did to Cassie and Lloyd was bad just wait till I start to write about you and Kai." Ava threatened
Bryn's lip started to quiver a bit, "You… you wouldn't…!" Bryn said though she wasn't so sure.
Ava gave her an evil smile, "Try me"
Bryn gulped, "Cassie… then…." Bryn said as she could barley stop trembling.
Ava smiled, "Good… you can leave now" Ava said more as an order than a request.
Bryn slowly backed out of the room but once she was out she ran out and once she got out of that monster's home she sat down on the nearest bench. Most people would say that Bryn wasn't afraid of anything, but that was a lie, she was afraid of her sister.
Whoa that was weird. To write Ava any place but at work, and I had a lot of trouble imagining her being nice to Bryn at the start of their encounter, it was a relief to make her evil self come out at the end. But how did you guys like this chapter? Do you want to see more moments with Bryn and Av, or was it way to weird for you to imagine as well? Please review and tell me if you have any constructive criticism, suggestions, or comments. –AveXCninja11
