Enola's P.O.V.
Instead of waking up as normal, I woke to someone shaking me. I groaned.
"Go away. I need sleeeeeeep." I moaned into my pillow.
"It's time to get up, Enola! Come on, we're going out today with Jessica, just us girls." Nya insisted. I groaned again.
"NO. You will have to drag me." I muttered. Nya did such, and put me in the bathroom.
"It'll be fun." Nya told me and I sighed, getting dressed in my normal jeans and t-shirt. "Plus, you need more clothes than that."
"No I don't." I defended, but Nya just rolled her eyes. A few minutes later, I found Jessica was waiting on the deck, her bat on her shoulder. "Did Nya wake you up too?"
Jessica shook her head. "Nah. I get up early normally. But this wasn't my idea, I swear."
"The guys are so absorbed in their video games I thought we could get out for a day." Nya said, and both Jessica and I groaned.
An hour later...
No P.O.V.
Jessica sighed. This. Is. TORTURE.
Don't be so dramatic. Celeta replied.
YOU aren't the one in a clothing store surrounded by dumb, pink clothes and stupid girls who think they're perfect. Jessica argued. Celeta had been left outside the mall, so Jessica was on her own.
How's Enola? Celeta asked.
I think she's worse off than me, if it's even possible. Jessica answered. Enola, sadly, had been forced by Nya to buy a new wardrobe, even though Enola had insisted she didn't need more clothes.
A few minutes later, Enola came back, her face red and muttering. "You okay?" Jessica said, concerned.
"About three guys back there tried flirting with me, not to mention Nya was practically trying to force me to buy some skirts and dresses." Enola said, gritting her teeth.
"I wasn't forcing you." Nya claimed, but Enola snorted.
"Either way, I'd rather be back at the Bounty than here. How much longer will this last?" Enola said.
"Well..." Nya began.
"Uh-oh. What did you not tell us?" Jessica said, panicking.
"The mayor is holding a ball in honor of the ninja, and since we're all invited, I thought we would need something nice to wear." Nya admitted.
Enola and Jessica stared at her in disbelief. Jessica managed to register it faster, and quickly panicked further.
Celeta! PLEASE DO SOMETHING! Jessica pleaded. Celeta refused, however.
You'll be fine. Celeta responded.
After a moment, Enola sighed. "And you're not going to let us go in slacks and dress shirts, right?"
"Right. So find something." Nya told them, refusing to back down.
Page Break? You know what I've got a more mature way on how to handle this...
*Hacks in the U.S. defense systems and gets access to nukes*
DIE, YOU ACURSED RACE! NOBODY LIKES YOU!
Grudgingly, Enola and Jessica allowed Nya to take them to a dress store, on the deal they would pick out their own dresses.
About ten hours later, the boys were dressed in black suits with bowties the color of their ninja suits. Nya was in a blue silk dress, wearing some makeup. She rapped on Enola's door. "It's time to go, we'll be late!"
"That's the point." Enola said through the door, but came out. She wore a scarlet dress with short sleeves, her hair down and slight applications of mascara to her lashes.
Kai stared at her then smiled. "You look great." He whispered to her.
"Fine." Enola muttered, but seemed pleased at the compliment.
"Jessica? Time to go." Nya said, outside Jessica's room.
"I'M NOT COMING OUT." Jessica said, adamant.
"It'll be fun!" Nya insisted, but Jessica growled.
"NO IT WON'T. I'M NOT GOING, SO THERE." She retorted.
"Jessica, I'm going, so you're going too. Now come out now." Enola's voice was firm, but inside the room a snort was heard.
"NEVER." Jessica replied.
In answer, Enola kicked down the door, but Jessica had locked herself in the bathroom. "What is it going to take?"
"I get to throw pies at Nya and burn the clothes from this evening." Jessica answered. Enola looked at Nya, who sighed.
"Fine." She said, and Jessica came out.
She was in a dark brown dress to her ankles, but had no makeup. If I must be in a FUCKING dress, that's my limit. Jessica muttered to Celeta.
Can I come as well? It would be amusing to see. Celeta commented.
Sure. I'll need backup. Jessica groaned.
An hour later...
Despite Jessica's and Enola's grumblings, the ball wasn't as bad as she had said it would be. The mayor had agreed to not reveal the ninja's identities, so they were able to keep a low profile.
Jay's parents, as well as Cole's father had also been invited. "Oh hi Jay!" Edna crooned, walking over.
"Mom, Dad, don't embarrass me." Jay pleaded.
"Cole?" His father walked up. "Who's this?" He asked, pointing to Jessica.
"You want to explain?" Cole said to Jessica. They went over to the wall, quietly explaining the 'different dimension' thing.
Nya and Jay went to the dance floor, while Zane amused people by turning on his 'funny' switch, leaving Enola and Kai over by the table. "Was this so bad?" Kai joked, and Enola gave him a look.
"Like you're enjoying this." She told him.
"What do you know?" Enola stiffened before looking around. "Miss Enola Hafford."
"Mom." Enola said through her teeth.
"So, you survived." Her mother sniffed. "Too bad."
Enola felt her anger begin boiling, so Kai stepped forward. "What are you doing here?" He wasn't happy, either, and he'd only heard a small bit about Enola's parents. Enola's mother wrinkled her nose.
"And this would be?" She asked.
"My boyfriend, who's been hell've a lot nicer than you." Enola growled, folding her arms.
"Tsk, tsk." A man joined them. "Watch your mouth, young woman. We did raise you,"
"For twelve years, but after that you dumped me in an asylum where I was tortured, all because you," Enola pointed to her father. "Cared more about your career than your own daughter."
"I am now an important politician." Her father huffed.
"Who lost all three of his children in the process. If you want to gloat, go somewhere else." Enola snapped. Huffing again, her father left, but her mother stayed.
"You don't fool me," She insisted.
"How about you shut your face? Not only did you practically disown me, but once I finally had gotten my life back, you have the nerve to send me a 'apology letter'?! Just get out of here." Enola barked.
Her mother looked confused. "Why would we ever do that?" Still, taking a hint, she left. Enola groaned, leaning against a wall.
Kai pulled her close, rubbing her back. "The day Jessica and Cole arrived, the letter you ripped up was from them?"
"Yeah." Enola sighed. "It said they were sorry for leaving me, and they want to see me. After everything they did to me, they thought a letter would solve it?"
"Guys?" Jessica came over. "I need back up, and Celeta's not helping."
"Celeta's your bat, I'm guessing." Enola said, and Jessica nodded.
"Yeah. Cole's dad's having a bit of a hard time accepting we're from a different dimension so she came and tried to convince him." She explained.
"How bad is he?" Kai asked.
"I think he doesn't have a concussion." Jessica said, trying to sound hopeful.
At the present moment, a far bigger problem came to light, as there was a huge explosion and the ground opened, revealing Serpentine.
"We are finally free! Sssserpentine, take revenge on the humanssss!" Skales cried.
Cursing to herself for wearing a dress, Jessica concentrated, and thankfully managed to use spiritual magic to change into regular clothing. "We never really can go anywhere without trouble, can we?" She muttered, drawing her bow.
Enola went into the pocket of her dress, drawing out a nightmare she had recently purified. It transformed into a saber, which she tested. "Not bad."
"Ninja-go!" The ninja used Spinjitzu, turning into their ninja suits, while Nya used a remote to summon her Samurai suit.
Unfortunately, their attention drawn away by the Serpentine, they failed to notice a black figure behind them. In fact, they only noticed them when a dark pulse threw everyone back, with the exception being Enola and Jessica, Enola due to her own aura, and Jessica as Celeta was able to throw up a barrier.
"Fools!" The figure cried. Enola and Jessica whipped around, since everyone else was either unconscious or going towards it. "You might be protected, but when I am done with you, you'll wish you weren't!" The person disappeared in a gust of black wind.
After the dust settled, the two girls looked around. Jessica sighed. "Time to drag everyone back. I really miss Fang."
As it turned out, there was a loud bark and a gray wolf came running in, rubbing against Jessica's leg. "Fang! Who's a good boy?" Jessica crooned, scratching his ears.
"...I'm not going to ask." Enola said slowly, helping Jessica load the others, two at a time, on to Fang's back.
Freebie chapter. Next one might be awhile, got writer's block with this one.
