"Stupid, useless no good brain!" I cried as I banged my forehead against our restaurant table. It was the next day, and we were trying to figure out how to reach the mystery girl, without her freaking out when she saw the Ninja, like she normally did.
"Woah, cool it Half-Pint." Kai warned me.
"I can't 'cool it'! I can't come up with any ideas about how were even supposed to get close to that girl WITHOUT her freaking out! Wait a second, who are you calling Half-Pint?" I half asked and half growled.
"Well anyway, I'm sure we'll think of something." Lloyd hurriedly said, trying to prevent me and Kai from killing each other.
"Come on Half-Pint." Jay sighed, grabbed my shoulders and pushed me out of the door with Nya trailing begind, while Zane and Cole took care of Kai. I let him calling me 'Half-Pint' slide, because he is my brother, and I actually kinda like the nickname. As we all took off to the Bounty, I realized I needed to go grab some ingredients and the supermarket for dinner, so I forced the guys into stopping (all but Zane. He needed to go too) at the supermarket. I jogged inside grabbed a basket a quickly gathered my ingredients.
"Basil, basil, basil..." I muttered to myself as I scanned the spice aisle for, obviously, basil. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her. The blond haired, steampunk-ish, mystery girl. I scooted over to her until I was only a shoulder length away. I turned to face her, and stretched my hand out.
"Hi! My name's Serena! Your the girl from Waters Auto body shop right?" I rambled. She nodded, and continued looking at the selves.
"Then you have to be his adopted daughter. He's told me that he had an adopted daughter but I had never met you!" I continued saying. She frowned slightly, nodded, and hurried away. I was going to have to visit her, to tell her that we, as in the Ninja and I, weren't going to hurt her. She looked like that was what she thought. I finally found the basil, ( after like, 15 minutes. I had to get Zane to find it for me. I couldn't find it to save my life), paid for my things and left.
"Took you two long enough!" Cole and Jay said simultaneously. Nya hit Jay making him scrunch up in pain.
"Oowwww! What did you do that for!?" Jay whinned.
"You know why!" Nya exclaimed. We all headed back to the Bounty once more, and as I was in the air I felt surprisingly light, like I was made of air. I decided to ask Sensei about it when I got home. We reached the Bounty, and unpacked our stuff. It was my turn to cook, so I made pesto pasta, one of my favorite dishes.
"This is delicious!" Jay said as he chewed and swallowed.
"Yes it is very good. Maybe even better than my cooking!" Zane told me. I smiled widely at the complement, as Zanes cooking was 10 on a scale of 1-5. I scarfed down my food, wanting to visit Walters shop before nightfall.
"Um.. guys, I'm going to go out. I'll be back in half an hour." I called out to them and sprinted to the main deck without a reply. I jumped into Jays stormglider and quickly zoomed off. It was around 6:30 when I got there. Not to late. I walked over to Walters front door and gently knocked. Walter opened the door and gladly welcomed me in. When he heard I wanted to speak to his daughter, he said he was more than happy to take me to her.
"You see, she's very sensitive, and doesn't have a lot of friends. So you visiting her is a good thing! May! Someone is here to see you!" Walter told me and then yelled out to May.
"I'll give you girls some space." Walter said grinning at me. May walked down the stairs of her house, saw me, and her eyes went huge.
"I know we kinda got of to a bad start, but I just wanted to let you know that the Ninja and I don't want to hurt you. I noticed how you kinda freak out when you see us, and I just wanted to let you know that you can talk to us, if you need to." I told her kinda quietly. But before I left, I turned around.
"I never got your name. What is it?" I questioned her.
"M-May" I heard her stutter quietly. I smiled and then opened the door and left.
The night air flew into my face. I breathed in deeply, knowing I had accomplished what I had needed. I made my way back to the Bounty, and when I got there, to Sensei Wu. The door was open and I could see that he was meditating. I knocked quietly and walked into the room, sitting criss-cross applesauce on the floor next to him. He opened one eye slightly, and said,
"Hello Serena. What do you need?"
I swallowed, " Lately I've been getting this weird sensation when I'm outside and there's wind. I literally feel like I'm apart of it. What does it mean?"
" I think you all ready know."
"Am I the elemental master of wind?!" I asked, wide eyed. He nodded and replied,
"Your training will start tomorrow. Now get some sleep. You have a big day tomorrow." I ran out to the main deck and flexed my hands. A gust of wind came out. I laughted, excited. I put my hands and my sides, flexed then and wind shot out of both. I was lifted of the ground and I start to fly. I got the hang of it and start to fly around Ninjago City. I laughed, surprised at what I was doing. Then I glanced behind me. My fatal mistake. Before I knew it, I heard a thud and everything went black.
