Hey everyone! So this story was inspired by a prompt I found on pinterest. I hope you all enjoy!

Prompt: Reflect on the good times, the bad times, and the times where you wouldn't want to be anywhere else

Ships: Jaya

Characters: The ninja, Jay, and Nya

Setting: Destiny's Bounty a day or so after the events of Skybound. Jay and Nya are still in what I call the bubble stage of their restarted relationship where everything seems perfect.

Other Notes: If you like Cole, fair warning: I make fun of his cooking a lot during this. Sorry. I didn't originally intend to, but the opportunity presented itself, and I took it.

There were plenty of happy times. Jay and Nya were back together again. The ninja found it a little odd, admittedly, but they seemed to be happy for them.

Jay couldn't have been happier. It was great to see the whole group healthy again, especially Nya. He whistled as he made his way down to Nya's room and knocked on the halfway closed door.

"Come in!" Nya replied. She looked up from her laptop and smiled at Jay.

"Hey, watcha working on?"

"Nothing much, just going through some old photos. Come look at this!" Nya beckoned her boyfriend over, and Jay sat down on the bed beside her.

Jay stared at the computer screen, "That's our third date right?"

Nya nodded, "Look at how young we were!"

Nya continued clicking through the photographs until they'd reached the present, two days before, the overhead shot Dareth had taken on the hospital rooftop.

"Well that was a fun trip down memory lane!" Jay grinned, "Speaking of which, I forgot why I came in here in the first place. I was going to let you know that dinner was ready."

Nya shut her laptop and stood up, "It's Cole's night to cook right? How about we ditch the others and go get dinner just the two of us?"

"I wouldn't be opposed to that. Let me get my shoes."

A few minutes later, the two of them were walking down the street hand in hand, happily.

"This was a great idea," Jay said as soon as they'd sat down at their table.

Nya nodded, "We should do this every time its Cole's turn to cook."

"We should," Jay agreed, "Why didn't we think of this the first time we were dating?"

Nya laughed. Jay talked her ear off, as typical, but she enjoyed every minute of it. The two of them stayed inside their own magic bubble and enjoyed every bit of dinner. It was a great start to their evening.

But there were also the bad times. After all, bubbles have to burst.

"This was really great Jay," Nya said as the two of them walked down the sidewalk after dinner.

"It was. How about we keep this great night going and go see a movie or something?" Jay suggested.

"Sure. I'll text the others that we'll be back late."

A few moments later, the two of them sat cozily in the back of the theater. The movie just started and everything was fine...

Until it happened.

One of the characters was shot. Nya resisted the urge to scream. She felt an agonizing pain in her chest, and the memories of being hit by the poison resurfaced.

"Jay?" Nya whispered.

"Hmm?"

"We have to get out of here!"

Jay stood up and took Nya's hand. Nya's head spun as Jay led her out of the theater. The memory kept replaying in her head. She swore she was going to throw up.

Somehow Jay had gotten her out into the hall although Nya couldn't remember any of it. She collapsed onto the floor choking on sobs and trying to breathe.

"Nya?" Jay placed his hand on her shoulder, "What's wrong?"

Nya opened her mouth to speak but was quickly overwhelmed by another round of coughing and tears.

"I'm sorry," she finally whispered, "I'm sorry I ruined our night."

And there were always the times where neither of them wanted to be anywhere else besides with each other.

"Nya, you didn't ruin anything," Jay hugged her.

"The guy who got shot... he reminded me of... of..." Nya said between tears.

"Shhhh! I know," Jay said soothingly, "It's okay. Let's just head home."

Nya nodded, and Jay helped her to her feet.

(Time skip)

The others appeared to be asleep when they got back and tip toed into the game room.

"How are you feeling?" Jay asked "Do you want to talk?"

"I'll be alright, and yeah, I would like to talk."

So they sat down. Nya talked; she'd hardly slept since the day at the hospital, every time she closed her eyes, another nightmare consumed her, and sometimes she swore she felt Nadakhan standing behind her.

Jay confessed he hadn't been sleeping well either.

"I guess this is just our burden to bear," Jay decided after both of them had let everything out.

"Yeah," Nya nodded and yawned, "But thank you for carrying it with me. I don't know what I'd do without you."

"I don't know what I'd do without you either. I meant what I said that day."

Nya pulled Jay into a hug, "I know. I love you."

For a moment Jay was surprised. In his head, he'd always imagined he'd be the first to say those words. He'd planned exactly how the conversation would play out. But Nya had beat him to it.

"I love you too," Jay whispered.

Well I hope you all enjoyed! Sorry if it was a little cheesy, but I like cheesy sometimes. Thank you all for reading, and have an amazing day!
