Hey everyone! Here's the next update, but first, here's some replies to comments.
Patata: Tienes suerte. Por fin, Eaton. (Please correct me if my Spanish is wrong, I'm still learning.)
TheAmberShadow: Thanks for the prayers. Cole sure is racking up the water bill, but come to think of it, with Nya, Kai, Jay, and Zane around, the ninja probably don't have to pay for water, heating, electricity, and cooling! My parents would probably love that!
LovetheLord: Thanks! Glad you like it.
CherryMarionette and Csub111: yeah, there are days I don't feel like it either. I'd say it's a little too often considering I've hardly posted anything lately. I'm glad you like the story though!
Liar: Thanks! I'll have to check that out!
"I love you baby!" a dreary man dressed in janitor attire slurred. He was half drunk, half mesmerized.
The woman clicked her heels and said something about proving his love to her. She grabbed his hand and dragged him along to a dark alley. He followed along in a happy daze.
Without warning, the woman shoved him forward. The man drew in a sharp gasp, "What are we doing?" he mumbled.
"You say you love me," the woman cackled, "you're gonna have to fight to prove it!"
Out of the shadows, another man appeared. He cracked his knuckles, "you're going down wimp!"
The woman stood back and watched amused as the two men fought. Then all at once they clasped to the ground... dead. Both men had proven their love, but it definitely wasn't worth it.
"Wow!" Jay gasped, "You look stunning!"
"Thanks! The same could be said for you," Nya replied, "So, can you finally tell me where this surprise date it supposed to be?"
Jay smirked, "You'll see when we get there... oh! One last thing! You're gonna have to wear this," Jay held up a blindfold and tied it securely around Nya's eyes.
"Is this really necessary?" Nya asked.
"Absolutely!" Jay replied. He took her hand and led her outside to his car and in, "it's gonna be so worth it. You just wait!"
(Time skip)
"You can take the blindfold off now!" Jay announced. He clapped his hands together giddily.
Nya ready ripped the blindfold off, "Wow Jay! I can't believe it! It's just like our first date!" Nya gasped. She was seated in the exact same booth they had sat in on their first date, "How'd you pull this off?"
"I had to pull a few strings, but one of the managers agreed to let me in the back way so it would be easier to get through to the restaurant."
"Jay this is awesome!" Nya gasped, "I don't know what to say!"
Jay smiled, "I knew you'd like it."
Nya and Jay began to converse when the clicking of heels interrupted them, "Hi there! My name is Melina, and I'll be your waitress. Can I start you two off with anything to drink?"
The two of them ordered and Melina took off to get their drinks, her heels clicking as she marched off. Nya and Jay continued their conversation until an ear splitting scream cut off all other noise in the restaurant.
Their waitress lay on the floor surrounded by broken glass and spilled liquid, "My wallet!" She cried, "He stool my wallet!"
A man dressed in all black swung open the back door and made a run for it.
With in seconds, Nya and Jay were up chasing him.
"Help me!" the waitress screamed. Jay looked back for one second. In a split decision, he decided to help her up.
"That man, he's my ex. I never thought he'd do something like that though," she gasped, "Thank you... for helping me," the waitress finished and quickly kissed Jay's hand.
"No problem!" Jay replied and took off to go find Nya.
Moments later he found her calmly walking back to the restaurant with the wallet in hand, What happened?" he asked.
"I chased him around for a little bit until one of the par security guards showed up and tackled him. He gave me the wallet and said he was putting the guy in the holding area until police arrive. We need to give this back to our waiter, then we're free to head back to dinner now."
"Great!" Jay replied, "Let's go then!"
The rest of dinner continued on perfectly normal. No attacks, no people turning into snakes. Just normal. Jay and Nya enjoyed every second of it.
"Well," Nya said as she opened the door to the car, "Tonight was great! Thanks Jay!"
Jay stared into his window. A reflection of their waiter appeared in the glass. He turned around and saw nobody was there. Huh. That was weird. He shrugged.
"Jay?"
"I thought I saw... oh never mind, I was probably just seeing things. It's nothing," Jay replied. How was he supposed to explain Melina's reflection in his window? There was no simple explanation for that.
So, what did y'all think? I know I originally posted this in January and am just now updating. Hopefully I'll be able to update this more often. I'm really liking the way the story's going. The funny thing is, I almost deleted this since I had no inspiration to write more. Now, it's one of my favorite to work on. I have the next three chapters done, and if everything goes according to plan, I'll post a new chapter each week. Have a great day and God bless!
