"I SAID SHE WAS GORGEOUS! SO WHAT?" Colt roared in reply to the question brought up. His rage ended up towards Baby. He didn't mean to be aggresive to the girl who made his heartbeat speed up, but he was sick of her asking why he liked Midnight.

"Colt, I only wanted to know what you see in her! I know she's gorgeous, creative, talented, but you don't have scream at me." Baby speaks to him in a warning tone.

Colt knew the repercussions in store for his behavior to her. "Baby- Firecracker, I didn't-"

Baby swung up her foot, kicking at the blue ninja. She could be fierce too. She releases a growl as he easily catches her foot. She brings up her fist, ready to strike his eyes.

Colt misses his opportunity to tackle the girl when her fingers jab into his eyes. He would never give another female a compliment aloud again.

"You didn't what? Mean anything by it? How many times are you and I going to keep going in circles?" Baby asks in an outrage.

"Baby, you are my special Firecracker. I want you around forever. You're my best friend. We get into so much trouble together." Colt softly voices, pleading in his hazel eyes.

"If I'm so special then why make me jealous? What're you trying to prove? You can get any girl you want? Honestly, I already know this." Baby slumps forehead in defeat.

Her forehead sticks to the fridge. She wants his eyes only for her.

"Baby, I'm not trying to make you jealous. My eyes are only for you. So is my heart. I'm not sweet around anyone else. I told you that you're my girl, and I meant it." Colt gushes, blushing pink.

Baby twists, leaning on the fridge. "You're soft on Midnight!"

Colt chuckles, sheepishly grinning at cute she was when she got angry. He couldn't help when a laugh erupts from his throat. "Midnight is like a sister to me. She seems to be in need of family."

Baby feels a lightness grow in her heart. "Yeah, she seems alone even when she's around us."

"I don't know. She loves to stare holes into Rocky. It's like he's the sunshine to her darkness. I can't see why. Rocky is boring." Colt drums his fingers on the tabletop.

"You realize your grandpa left the cabin to you three to continue your ninja training right?" Baby softly calls, opening the fridge for something to snack on.

"Yeah." Colt solemnly replies, shrugging. He isn't too thrilled by the prospect. "I think-"

"Ahem. Excuse me, have any of you seen Rocky?" The soft spoken voice of Emily took them by shock. The blonde girl couldn't keep eye contact with Baby, but had no trouble looking directly at Colt.

"Emily? He said you went to therapy. Nobody knows why." Colt replies, coming over to the blonde girl.

Baby rolls her eyes. "Probably psycho."

Colt says nothing to disagree with Baby. "We haven't seen Rocky. In fact, it's hitting past curfew."

"Well, I wanted to come breakup with him. I can't continue living a lie." Emily informs, fiddling with her fingers.

Baby smirks, thanking the Goddess above.

Colt felt his mouth twitch. He saved the smirk for after her disppearance. "What brought this about? What lie?"

Emily bit her bottom lip sighing. She decides not to tell him quite so soon.

"You'll find out soon. I've been wanting to break up with him since I met Midnight." Emily chose to word her sentence that way. Blissfully, smiling; Emily skips out the door.

Colt tilts his head sideways, watching her shut the door in evident confusion. He couldn't wrap his tiny brain around what she was implying.

Baby was quick to come to the conclusion. She whacks Colt upside the head, "She's into girls!"

Colt groans, rubbing the back of his skull. "And how could you tell?"

"I think they kissed, in fact. I recall in the cafeteria when Light was hitting on Night. Night seemed taken keen on nearly returning the lip locking." Baby answers, recalling the events.

"Wait, is Night into girls? If so, what about her staring at Rocky like he's Apollo? The poor idiot will be devastated!" Colt blares, causing a thud to come from the stairwell.

"I don't think she is. She kissed Mars in the cafeteria while we were onlooking. Does Night realize we're in a public prison there?" Baby gossips while Colt comes up with a plan.

"Baby?" Colt softly calls, getting a hum from her.

"Yeah, Pony?" Baby giggles as he blushes at the nickname.

"Would you like to go on a date with me? I've been wanting to ask you forever. No other girl means anything to me." Colt recites half joking, half being serious. A small smile sat on his tan features.

Baby grows speechless. How could she say no? Squealing with delight, she does the unexpected; she throws her arms around him. "YES!"

Flinching, Colt smiled returning the hug. He feels her tiny legs, wrap around his frame. He never felt himself come to alive around any other female. His smiles, looks of adoration, and jokes were simply for her. "That's my girl!"

Baby was so happy. Her first had been with her crush along with her first official date. She was ready to follow him to the end of the Earth. "From the age of five!"

"Hey, have you seen Night? Samuel is searching frantically for her. She's been grounded due to her lack of appreciation for his care." London Sinclair asks, coming into the kitchen. He thinks they're adorable as he leans on the counter.

"Uh, no." Colt replies, wondering what's taking Rocky so long to get home.

"We can't find her anywhere. She cut detention with the other ones who were present." London innocently informs them.

Baby jumps down off Colt, "Didn't Rocky have detention?"

"Boring, funless, old Rocky? Maybe. I know he got into trouble on account of Midnight, but-" Colt rambles on, shaking his head.

"You don't think someone who is boring can have some fun? It depends on who you're around." London chimes in, cutting off the blue ninja.

Colt gulps, looking to Baby. "Even if Rocky did ditch detention, why would he suddenly break the rules?"

Baby smirks, thinking of one good reason. She sucks in a sharp air of breath about to reply. She'd do the same since detention is a boring place. She had to learn the hard way thanks to the older brother Douglas duo. She had been the firestarter.

"I'm not Rocky! I wouldn't know." London says, nonchalantly shrugging. His palms were upturned.

"London, we don't have all day! Let's get the show on the road!" Samuel barks, appearing behind the boy. He is bitter, exhausted, and overwhelmed to say the least.

London jumps, soon coming to relax. He nods, "Bye guys!"

Colt is thinking of good reasons Rocky would skip detention. He knew his brother like the palm of his hand or so he kept wanting to believe he did. "Do you think Rocky is secretly evil?"

"Pony, how it not obvious? I've been pining for you for ages. He's chasing Midnight. He won't shut up about the poor girl. Or have you been blind this entire time of her moving here?" Baby slaps his shoulder.

"Oh, I thought she was into me. Times aren't changing I guess." Colt lamely jokes, gaining another hit to the shoulder.

Baby glares at him, "she picked on you at first clearly to gain his attention. Did it not work?"

Colt processes the new information. "He has been following her every move even when he's claimed to not be interested."

"Yeah well, for someone not interested; he likes to appear whereever she is." Baby says, rolling her eyes.

Colt frowns, nodding in agreement. "True."
