When Zane returned to the Bounty, Keira-Melanie was bruised and had a bleeding knee, but was smiling ear to ear. "Are you alright?" Zane asked, looking at her condition.
"Never been better! I completed the training course and did spinjitsu!" Keira-Melanie cried, happily.
Zane smiled. "I'm very happy for you. If you'll excuse me, I should give these groceries to Nya." Zane walked back into the kitchen and set the groceries on the counter. Then he stared at Jet's number. Should he really trust her, so soon after meeting her?
"Ah, Zane! Perfect!" Nya began rifling through the bags.
"Nya . . .?" Zane looked at the red-clad girl. "I met a girl today."
Nya nearly dropped the bag she was holding. "You did?"
"Yes, her name is Jet . . . I'm not sure what exactly to do . . ." Zane muttered. "I do not know her very well at all and you remember what happened to Lloyd . . ."
"Well, Keira ended up being good, didn't she?" Nya recovered from the shock and smiled at the nindroid. "Why don't you ask the guys? I only have experience if you meet a boy, hehe."
As Nya continued putting away groceries, Zane went into the games room and found Jay, Kai, Cole, Lloyd and Keira-Melanie. "Hello," Zane greeted, then relayed his predicament.
"I say go for it. Give her a call," Kai shrugged. "I mean, Melanie turned out alright, didn't she?"
"Only alright?" Keira-Melanie joked. "I'm amazing!"
Lloyd laughed. "I agree with Kai."
"Ditto! Go on, Zane!" Jay urged.
"Alright, brothers," Zane finally agreed and went to their room. He dialed the number that Jet had given him. He waited uncertainly for Jet to answer.
"Hiya Zane!"
"How did you know-?"
"Caller ID, Zany!" Jet laughed. "So what's up?"
"The sky?"
Jet laughed again. "You're funny AND cute! I mean, how are you? What's going on?"
"Oh, I'm fine . . . Nothing is really going on . . . Maybe you could come over? It would be nice to talk further."
"Oh, sure thing! You live on the Destiny's Bounty, right? Big ship in the sky?"
"Yes, but we are stationed at the docks at the moment."
"Alrighty, I'll meet you there!"
Once Jet hung up, Zane felt something fluttering in his chest. He checked his circuits, but there were no butterflies. It was nerves. But why should he be nervous? Jet wasn't evil . . .
