It would be another two weeks before another Shen Gong Wu would reveal themselves. Chase Young smirked, knowing this was the time for him to swoop in and catch the eyes of the Fairy. He and Wuya arrived earlier than the monks, already looking for the Wu.

"Why are you suddenly interested in this one? I always have to nag you to get me one!"

"Because this time I actually feel like it. Now hush." He mumbled. He climbed through the trees, searching high and low for the Wu. He had to find it before the monks. He just had to. He saw a shadow fly over him. He caught a glimpse of orange boots.

Stella

The monks were here. He had to hurry up. He started ripping vines and tearing up the terrain for the Wu. He was starting to think the worse when-

He found it, halfway into the dirt. He ran over to grab it, when he realized he walked into a pit of quicksand. His armor, composed of metal, was causing him to sink fast, as it was already up to his waist. He knew not to struggle and keep calm. He closed his eyes to focus on getting out swiftly when-

"Chase Young! Hold on!" He heard behind him.

There she was, flying over to grab him and pull him out. At first the sand didn't want to give, till Stella used her sun powers to dry up the sand, making it less resistant against her pull. She set chase to the side, panting from the exertion she just pulled.

"Are... you... okay?" She panted

Chase had a small smile on his face.

"Yes. I could've gotten out myself, you know?"

Stella stood straight up and looked him square in his eyes.

"Hey I just saw you basically sleeping in the mud. I don't want to hear it."

"Whatever you say."

"Why did you walk straight into it?"

" I actually wasn't paying attention."

"And why not ?" She put her hands on her hips, that were jutting out in her posture.

Damn it she's cute when she's mad

"For this." He picked up the disked shaped Wu, blew off the dirt it had on it, and handed it to Stella. She gasped, grabbing it from him carefully .

"You don't want to do a showdown for it ?"

"Don't you remember our agreement? I get the Wu, you let me teach you magic." He sent out a puff of darkness from his palm and it went through her hair.

" I said I'll think about it." She said.

Chase walked close to her. She hugged the Wu close to her chest, wondering what he was about to do.

"Well? What's it gonna be?" He gently smoothed a piece of her hair out her face.

"Well.. um.."

"Yes or no, Stella. Now." He said firmly. He was looming over her at this point, eyes starting deeply into hers. She felt uncertain about letting him teach her, but she wanted to become stronger and rub it in the monks face for doubting her. She made her decision.

"Yes. I'll let you teach me. But don't think this will make me join the Heylin side." She pointed a finger at him.

"Never say never." He smiled, grabbing the hand she was pointing with. It was so small, in his big hands. And so soft...

He snapped back to reality and shook her hand.

"You've made a wise decision. I'll see you tonight then. After the monks go to sleep. I'll be waiting at the same clearing."

"O-ok."

He kissed her hand gently.

Stella stood there blushing.

"Till then, Princess. " and he disappeared into the woods.

Stella stood there, by herself.

What did i just get myself into

She flew back out with Wu in hand, to catch up with the others. She showed them the Wu and how it was no trouble to find it. The monks congratulated her, then embarked on Dojo to head back to temple.

Chase watched from afar at them leaving. Wuya suddenly appeared beside him.

"What was THAT!? You gave that fairy girl the Wu!"

"I need her to trust me."

"How is she gonna trust you? She's on the wrong side!"

"I'll make her trust me. She's a key to taking over the world. And I'll need her all to myself."

"Are you sure you're not just crushing on this girl?"

Chase snapped his head at her.

"Don't be ridiculous. That is completely unnecessary for evil domination. "

He was lying to Wuya and himself. He can't stop thinking about her. He wants to get to know her more. Evil domination was on his agenda, but doing it with her as an equal, like, a lover, would make it so much better.

He shook away the thought. Now he was just being silly. He doesn't need that kind of distraction. He just needs her to join the heylin and take over the world.

Easier said than done. He thought.

He sighed and started heading back to his lair.
