Mrs. Loon; P.S. for all of you who love the dancing, partying, slightly to OUTRAGIOUSLY romantic chapters, just wait till the next one!
Later With Kim-Ly
Kim-Ly groaned as she fell into a chair, making sure that her hair (which took about a half an hour to do) didn't get messed up. Her floor length dress was a nice dark grey top and a layered grey skirt, flashes of vibrant reds and golds here and there made it all pop. Yet the best thing about her dress (that she openly admits) is that Bunny had made a design of soft feeling sequence that made a silver dragon with it's tail winding in (or as) the skirt, curving around her back then to her front torso, then it had opened up to where it's mouth created a sort of "flame" with the right frilly (due to more fluttered silk) red-marked grey shoulder strap.
Along with the dress Kim-Ly was wearing vibrant red heels with golden bows around her ankles connecting to her shoes, a ruby-red rose hair clip, and a golden heart necklace. Her hair was curled slightly with most of it being held back by the hair-clip besides 2 pieces which framed her face, and now it smelt like cinammon...Dang perfume and lotion combo. Finally she had dark pink eye shadow, red-to-gold lipstick clear lip gloss, a touch of mascara, and a dark lightly spread (Mayhemb; All natural *wink*) blush.
"Please rain, please rain, pleeeeeease rain!" Kim-Ly begged to the sky, which was starting to become a lovely pink to mark the sun set. The main reason why she was out here was because Bunny and Grace ever so generously (Rock; *couch* demanded *cough*) volunteered her to lead everyone to their rooms, where their own party clothes awaited. Kim-Ly flinched as she heard the rev of 2 motorcycles, the roar of 2 flying objects, and 2 cars coming towards the ship...
...
She officially hated being a ninja...For today.
...
Slowly Kim-Ly got up, noticing the odd blue color in the sky with the black and white colors on the red-orange sand. "There coming~!" Kim-Ly heard Grace chimed from inside, her (Kim-Ly) could just see Grace grinning at how she (Kim-Ly) looked so distressed right now. 'I bet this is revenge for me making her use the stairs. (reference to Chapter 11)' Kim-Ly thought as she walked off the boat, the large mounds of sand blowing in the breeze due to the motorized vehicles growing closer to her...Dang..
With Kai (Kai's POV)
I was actually enjoying myself, Belinda never really talked and instead seemed to be more interested in the passing scenery then actually striking a conversation...And when I glanced over at Cole and Zane, I found that trait didn't exist in the other family members. I couldn't help but lightly chuckle at Zane slightly annoyed Cole's tomatoe-red face cause his dad if probably asking about Grace...I silently sighed as I thought about Cole's words...W-Was he right? Was I really not trying to...Well...Apear attracted to her?
As we came upon the ship I saw a dark grey figure step off slowly, Kim-Ly probably was tried...But from what..? As we grew closer I saw all the signs, a few spot lights, and some balloons...They were throwing a party! Yay! "Come on guys! Let's go!" Jay yelled over the communicator's in our vehicles as he jet zoomed by, causing him to land first with Nya right behind him.
With Kim-Ly (no one's POV)
Kim-Ly fidgeted slightly as Nya and Jay walked out of their vehicles, only to stop when they saw the normal tomboy inside the frilly dress...Jay laughed out loud while Nya smiled at her. "That's a really pretty dress Kim-Ly!" Nya chimed happily as she carried some of the bags on board, Kim-Ly and Jay helping her with the rest. "Tell that to Bunny, she made and force me into it with Grace's help." Kim-Ly growled as the old machine stopped in front of the ship, Edna and Ed coming out of it.
"Oh my-my-my! A party?" Edna asked as she looked at everything, Kim-Ly couldn't help but smile at her. "Yes, Sensei Wu gave me and the girls permission to organize a small party to welcome you all *shoves the bags she was carrying into Jay's filled arms* *Jay falls down* *Kim-Ly walks over to Edna and Ed*." Kim-Ly spoke in a nice and even tone, one that Jay (but Nya has probably) never even heard of before.
"Oh! And who may you be?" Ed asked Kim-Ly, who gave a small smile as she did a small curtsie. "I am Kim-Ly Chau Thuy, Ninja of Metal, it's a pleasure to meet you." Kim-Ly clearly said, yet she slightly flinched when she heard Jay laughing. "Oh what a pretty name!" Edna chimed before the other 3 vehicles stopped in front of the ship again. "We're home and ready to part-Kim-Ly?" Cole stopped his cheer when he and the other boys saw Kim-Ly's clothes.
"Dare laugh and I'll rip off your hand." Kim-Ly threatened, making sure her eyes didn't meet the eyes of a certain Fire Ninja. Yet Nya saw that if she (Kim-Ly) did look, then she (Kim-Ly) would have seen how Kai had his jaw on the ground, eyes bulged out, and his cheeks flushed. "L-Listen. *coughs* I have been given the task of escorting the guests to their room, and in everyone's room a set of clothes are waiting for you to wear for the party." Kim-Ly calmly stated, Cole and Zane blinked at her while Kai remained in the same position.
Swiftly after Kim-Ly escorted Jay and Cole's family to their room's, while the others, besides Nya who also left, talked to Jay. "Oh my gosh, you can't believe Kim-Ly's name! H-Her full name is Kim-Ly Chau Thuy!" Jay laughed, before he, Zane and Cole looked over at Kai, who had yet to move a inch from his place. "Is he alright?" Cole asked the other 2 boys, who shrugged as they walked towards the boy.
"Don't know...But I can find out." Jay offered as a smirk overcame his face, before he went right next to Kai's ear. "*takes deep breath* KAI, KIM-LY IS GOING TO MARRY SOME RANDOM GUY AND MOVE AWAY TO RAISE ALPACAS!" Jay yelled to Kai, who suddenly snapped back and drew his sword. "No Kim-Ly! Don't raise alpacas!" Kai yelled suddenly, before realising what had just happened to him as the other 3 boys ran inside. "I AM SO GETTING YOU GUYS FOR THAT!" Kai yelled as he raised inside to, not even noticing the 3 people who were laughing from the Bridge Window.
In the Bridge
Sensei Wu, Lord Garmadon, and Lila all laughed as they watched Kai chase after his team mates. All 3 were all dressed up.
Sensei Wu was wearing a musty yellow kimono, a murky white under shirt, with a golden obi sash. On the back of his Kimono was a shimmering yellow outline of the sun, and on the v-neck of it was a thin line of kunai knives.
Lord Garmadon was wearing a black kimono, a dark blue under shirt, with a dark purple obi sash. On the bottom was a thin line of hand-painted silver shuriken, and on the back was a dark silver outline of a full moon.
Lila was wearing a light mint green kimono, a white under shirt, and a light blue obi sash. On hers the bottoms of it had silver and golden swirls that acted as wind, then on the back was a dark golden and silver open faned that had a cherry blossom design on it.
"Oh, those kids are better entertainment then you ya old fart!" Lila exclaimed as she continued to laugh, Lord Garmadon didn't mind though as he too laughed with his brother. "Glad to see you all having fun." Lloyd happily told as he walked in, he to was wearing a Kimono.
His was a dark green kimono, black under shirt, and a golden obi sash. On the entire thing were small images of candy (lollipop, wrapped candy, peppermint, etc), then along the back was a image of pink cotton candy.
Bunny and Grace had decided that the 4 of them didn't have to wear tuxedoes or dresses since they weren't use to it...As for Lloyd though, Grace wanted to see her baby brother in a cute kimono and not a stuffy tuxedo.
"Awwww Lloyd! Don't you look cute!" Lila chimed happily as she tried to hug her grand-son, who ducked away from her. Since her (Lila) first coming here Lloyd had experianced first-hand at her (Lila's) accidental death hugs. "Aw come here sweetie, don't be afraid of my hugs!" Lila encouraged on as she tried again to hug the young boy, soon the 2 were running around the Bridge with Lord Garmadon and Sensei Wu hidding ontop of the super computer.
"Aren't we suppose to help Lloyd?" Sensei Wu asked Lord Garmadon, who looked at him (Sensei Wu) as if he (Sensei Wu) was the evil overloard. "Are you mad brother! Do you really want to get in the middle of our Mother-in-Law and her Hugs?" Lord Garmadon asked Sensei Wu, who blinked at him. "...Cotton Candy?" Sensei Wu asked Lord Garmadon as he (Sensei Wu) held out some cotton candy for Lord Garmadon, who smiled.
"Thank you *takes cotton candy* *holds out tea cup* tea?" Lord Garmadon offered, at this Sensei Wu smiled. "Good, with these we can stay up here for a few hours...Or days if needed." Sensei Wu stated as he took the cup of tea happily, before the 2 brothers sunk back into silence as the poor young ninja was chased by the older woman.
With the Boys
Kai, Jay, Lou, Bruce, Ed, Zane, and Cole all looked at each other in their new clothing.
Kai was wearing a dark red tuxedo with a black and red stripped tie, a white under shirt, a black belt, and black dance shoes. On his tuxedo jacket a golden dragon wrapped from the back, wrapped around his torso 3 times while going up, before it went over his right shoulder and the head looked up a bit so that the dragon's mouth was where the right chest pocket started. Then on the left chest pocket was a image of 2 golden swords clashing.
Cole had a black tuxedo with a silver and black stripped tie, a white under shirt, a black belt, and black dance shoes. His tuxedo jacket had a silver dragon instead, and on the left chest pocket was a image of a golden scythe on it.
Zane had a white tuxedo with a golden tie, a black under shirt, a light brown belt, and white dance shoes. His tuxedo jacket had a golden dragon (like Kai's), and on the left chest pocket were 2 shuriken (much like his own) over lapping each other slighty.
Jay had a dark blue tuxedo with a white and light blue tie, a black under shirt, a brown belt, and black dance shoes. His tuxedo jacket had a silver dragon (like Cole's), and on the left chest pocket were nunchucks like his being held where they made a almost 90 degree angle.
Bruce (due to Grace's persuasion) had on a dark brown kimono with a white undershirt and a black obi sash. On the bottom were small CD's making a thin line and on the back was a Game Stick Controller.
Lou was wearing a fancier version of his regular clothes as a dark brown tuxedo, a dark red tie, a white under shirt, a new leather belt, and black dance shoes.
Ed was wearing a dark (more darker then Jay's) blue tuxedo, white under shirt, black tie, a black leather belt, and finally black dance shoes.
"I must say, Bunny has some talent for clothes!" Lou stated happily as he checked over his entire outfit, loving the feel of the new cloth. "She sure is!" Ed agreed as he adjusted his tie again, before adjusting a slightly embarrassed Jay's also. "Daaad! I can straighten my own tie." Jay complained, yet Ed only chuckled at him. "Oh I know son, you don't need me and your mom any...*sighs*." Ed sadly stated, at this Lou placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Down frown chum, we all must let them go off on their own eventually...With a special girl to help them along the way of course." Lou said with a grin, Cole blushed at this. "Daaaad!" Cole whined as his blush started to further form on his cheeks. "Oh yes, yes I know! My, heh, son takes a fancy to Nya." Ed commented, Lou smiled at this while Jay now blushed to.
"Can we go now? Please?" Jay asked, at this all the boys laughed at.
With Belinda and Edna
Belinda and Edna were already on the deck, having quickly changing into their kimono (Edna) or their dress (Belinda).
Edna was wearing a dark blue kimono with a white under shirt, and a silver matalic obi sash. Along the bourders of the kimono were small silver rivits and bolts while on the back it had a few gentle swirls on it, almost representing blowing dust (since they live in a sandy area).
Belinda was wearing a nice black dress that was much like Kim-Ly's, except without the dragon and the extra spashes of colors , it ended a bit under her knees, and it also had a slightly less thick skirt. She was also wearing black dance shoes and a silver bracelet.
"So tell me, how has you son been doing?" Belinda asked Edna, who smiled widley at her. "Oh he is just fine thank you! You know back when he was younger he used to always worry about things not going his way and.." Enda continued to ramble on as Belinda suddenly wished that she (Belinda) hadn't tried to start a conversation with the most talkative woman alive.
With the Girls
The girls were all in Grace's room, each looking over their dress.
Bunny's dress was a nice light green sun dress that had dark green flower and leave outlines swirling from the bottom left corner of the front all the way around her waist then stop right on her right shoulder's satin sleeve (which only went a little past her shoulders actually). Though anyone could plainly see the silver dragon outline that melded in with the flowers and leaves and at this point the head was actually trailing out of the flowers and leaves and went to her waist as it melded with a yellow sash that made it look as if the flame came from the dragon itself.
Along with that her hair was not curled, so it fell in a soft wave to the point where it was mid-arm, and it was held back bently by a silver butterfly pin that had a mini tulip on tip of the left wing. Plus she had on light dusty pink eye shadow, white eyeliner that had silver sparkles in it, a touch of mascara, clear lip gloss, pale pink lipstick, and a all natural blush.
Nya's dress was a beautiful fire red, literally. The dress' skirt was a subtle yellow before the yellow started to close off as it went higher up the skirt, then at the hem line there was a small electric light blue and white sash, then the top of the dress was a real fire red created by layers of a thin unknown fabric that was soft and breathable ("Thankfully!" Nya had commented about it being breathable.)
Nya also had her hair in a sort of wavy fashion with 2 thin cherry blossom barrettes in her hair, a small ember necklace, nice red dance shoes, and her bracelet. She also had on golden eye shadow, a bit of mascara ("To bring out your eyes and maybe see if Jay can step up a bit!" Bunny had chimed as she was applying Nya's make-up on her.) glittery red eye liner, clear lip gloss, dark red lip stick, and a all natural blush like most of the girls.
The Grace's dress was basically a light blue version of Nya's dress but going from a snow white-silver-blue-dark blue then Nya's yellow-orange-orange/red-blazing red. It also had a thiner skirt that accted as more of a romantic tutu, and on it was a silver dragon that weaved it's way through the layers of the fabric before it curled around her waist causing a thin line of a ghastly blue that appeared in the light blue before the head actually trailed up to the v-neck of the dress. Then the dragon's head speeued out "water" as gems along both edges of the v-neck.
Along with this Grace didn't have her bow on (she didn't want to damage it) and with a bit of help her hair was a bit more wavy, but it was kept out of her eyes by using 2 silver water lilly barrettes. She also had on her white eye shadow, glittery light blue eye liner, a light pink lipstick, clear lip gloss, and a thin all natural blush. She was also wearing her old dusty pink ballet flats.
"You've really outdone yourself Bunny!" Grace chimed as she spun around, her skirt fluttering slightly and lovingly. "W-Well...I-I don't mean to brag but...Y-Yeah..! I-I guess I did.." Bunny nerviously stated, right as Nya saw the sown in tags on the back of Bunny's dress. "B.S.A?" Nya asked as she looked more closly at the tag, Bunny smiled lightly. "It stands for Bunny Serenity Asher. Sorry, I like to mark what I make." Bunny apologized, but Nya smiled at her. "No need to apologize, it's really cool that you make your own clothes." Nya commented, at this Kim-Ly pulled the 2 girls in for a small hug.
"And now cause of Bun-Bun we are dressed to impress!" Kim-Ly chimed happily, Grace started to walk towards the door. "Come on! Last one out has to ask their guy to dance!" Grace yelled before taking off laughing up the hallways, soon followed by the other 3 girls.
