Chapter 5: Put me to sleep

Scarlet was giving her own room and pajamas by Nya. As she lay in bed that night, she stared at the roof, unable to sleep. She rolled onto her side and looked at the alarm clock, 1: 00 A. M. She sighed and crawled out of bed. Her new body would just not let up, first the period and now the restlessness? Scarlet pulled out her IPod, it was the only thing she had before she went to Doomsday Comics and before she was turned older. As she walked out of her room, she noticed her bare feet made no sounds against the floor boards. "Good, I won't wake anyone up…" she thought, putting her ear buds in. After scrolling up and down the long song list for a few minutes, she played "Love like this" by Amy Pearson.

When The Master of Wind got onto the deck of the ship, see saw Lloyd sitting down, leaning his back against the railing, playing on his DSI XL.

Ironically "Crush" by David Archuleta began playing.

Lloyd was playing "The Sims 3" (A/N: My favorite game, deal with it) trying to tire himself out. Apparently as a teen, his body refused to go to sleep. As his Sim ate a bowl of salad while sitting in front the TV, he looked up and saw Scarlet walking towards him. Ironically his Sim's crush walked into the virtual house as the real one sat next to him. "Hey," she smiled, leaning over to look down at his video game. "You couldn't sleep either, right?"

"Yup', watcha' listening to?" he pulled one of the ear buds out of her ear and put it in his. He almost burst out laughing when he heard David Archuleta. "Not this sissy, you're seriously listening to Crush?"

"Oh c'mon, David Archuleta is not a sissy."

"Whatever you say…" Scarlet smiled and rested her head on his shoulder. He looped his arm around her back. "Scarlet, do you like me?" he asked suddenly, making her look up.

"Duh, you're my best friend and I love you, you're like a brother."

"Great, I'm like a brother to her." he thought."Yeah, I love you too…" he said, sighing as "Friend Zone" by Your Favorite Martian came on, matching the situation. When the lyric friend zone kept echoing through his head, he snatched up the IPod, ready to fling the device away; instead he searched through the list for another song. "Please let there be some song that'll give her a clue that I like, like her." No matter how much it killed him to select a Justin Beiber song by choice, he played "Boyfriend". It was the only song that could give some sort of hint.

Scarlet looked up at Lloyd as he chose the song by Justin Beiber, and he thought David Archuleta was a sissy?! She scoffed and grabbed the IPod to change it to "I Love You" by Avril Lavigne, giving a hint. If that didn't work, her most obvious last resort would by "Kiss me" the Alex Goot version. "I can't believe I said he's like a brother to me; that was such a retarded move. Ugh…" she thought as the song played. When he didn't do anything but pretend to examine the back of his DSI XL she rolled her eyes and grabbed his hand. Lloyd looked up, but not directly at her. "Do I honestly have to do everything?" she sighed and changed the music to her last resort "Kiss me". "If this doesn't work I swear to God…"

Lloyd wouldn't budge for a million dollars or candy! He was looking ahead blankly; he wasn't even thinking he was just looking ahead like a robot! "Lloyd? Are you okay?"

"Fine…" he mumbled.

"Is he seriously this clueless?" "Close your eyes." She ordered, turning her entire body towards him.

Lloyd smiled a bit, turned to face her and closed his eyes. Scarlet wrapped her arms around his neck and he put his hands on her waist, still remaining blind. They locked lips and he immediately took the lead, leaning further into her. It was only their second kiss, but after months with the other ninja, he had seen Jay and Nya kiss so he picked up a few things. She moaned lightly and they pulled apart with crimson faces. "Um…Do you want to…Go out with me tomorrow?" he asked. "At eight?"

"Like, a date?" she smiled.

"Yeah,"

"Sure, I can't wait, bye, Lloyd." She said, jumping up, grabbing her IPod and running inside.

"It's amazing how fast that girl changes her attitude." He thought; standing and walking inside to go to bed. "Now…All I have to do is get some cash to actually take her out on a date…Maybe I can ask one of the guys…"

Suddenly two hands reached out and dragged The Green Ninja into darkness. His eyes widened and there was a long struggle, but his hands were tied by rope, the same went for his feet and tape covered his mouth. His muffled screams did nothing, nobody could hear him; he felt himself being thrown into the corner of a room. Light burst into the room, revealing the person who had kidnapped him. He gasped.
