Here I am once again with another chapter of WACLAO! I kinda took a break with this one, but now I've got a new one here. This may be the last of Amaya's arc or part of the last of it, but we'll see what happens. In this chapter, the evil ninja invites Amaya to have dinner with him. Will it go well for her? Let's find out! Enjoy!

PS: After this chapter is done and posted, I apologize to say that this story will go on a summer hiatus until further notice. I've had a lot going on in my life, and I need a breather. I hope you understand, and I know you've been waiting for this one. So I hope you enjoy what I have to offer for now.

Disclaimer: I do not own PJ Masks. They belong to Disney Junior... and whatever French company created them. I can't remember. Sorry.

Chapter 5: My date with Night Ninja

"Oh... my head..."

Amaya woke up with a severe headache. As she opened her eyes half way, and even though her vision was blurry, she noticed that she was in a bed. A nice soft bed, with red and pink sheets, and a fluffy pillow resting beneath her head.

She started to sigh with relief, hoping that this bed was her own, that all of this thing of being kidnapped by Night Ninja was just a bad dream, and that she was in her room safely in her bed.

In fact, she didn't even remember what happened before she was knocked out. All she could recall was falling off the stairs or something...

Well, it wasn't a problem for her since she didn't remember. She was safe, and that's all that matter. The girl sighed as she laid her head back on the pillow, and started to close her eyes, wanting to get more sleep.

Nothing could ruin this soft moment...

"RISE AND SHINE MY BEAUTIFUL NINJA WIFE!"

Amaya groaned... it wasn't a dream...

She really was kidnapped.

The owl hero sat up and rubbed her eyes, the first thing she noticed was Night Ninja standing beside her bed, smirking behind that mask he wore. "How was your nap, Amaya?" He asked.

"My head hurts..." She answered dully, now remembering why she had that headache.

"Good... now you know what happens when your cross me..." He replied, "Now get dressed, my princess. It's almost time for dinner and I'd hate for you to starve."

At the mention of the word 'dinner', Amaya was even more alert than earlier. Did he just ask her... to dinner? Who did he think he was? Her boyfriend? "Wait... did you say...?"

Night Ninja held his hand up, cutting her off, "Dinner? Of course. A nice romantic feast just for the two of us. I figured that we should get to know each other over food."

Amaya couldn't believe what she was hearing. First this nasty ninja kidnaps her, then abuses her, and now he wants to have her for dinner? She grabbed her glasses and put them on, "Why should I eat something your sticky splat hands touched?" She asked.

"I didn't make the food. My Ninjalinos did." He corrected her, "I just made some of the finishing touches..." The night time villain then began to walk out of the room, "I'll just leave you here to get ready for the night. But I want you down to the cafeteria on the ground floor in fifteen minutes... or else I'll punish you..."

With that, the ninja left, closing the door behind him. As for Amaya, she just sat in bed, trying to comprehend what she was just told. This villain... had asked her... to dinner...

To be honest, she really didn't want to go. Who knows what he could've cooked up for her. It could be disgusting for all she knew. It could be something poisonous... but he wouldn't poison her if he loved her so much.

Amaya looked down at her stomach as it began to growl slightly. She realized that she hadn't eaten anything since she was captured. So maybe she could use some nutrients. So with little to no hesitation, she got out of the bed, got dressed, and headed out of the room.

As she walked down the hall, she continued to hold her head in pain. It was throbbing like crazy, and she knew it would be a while before the pain would subside. It had taken a little while, but she made it to the ground floor and to the cafeteria... where soft music was playing, candles were lit, and a table in the center of the room was decorated, and Night Ninja was sitting there waiting for her.

"Ah! I see you've gotten here on time..." He said, chuckling.

Amaya frowned as she made her way to the table, where a Ninjalino pulled out a chair for her, "Thank you..." She said as she sat down.

"The food will be ready in a moment, my love. So until then, I'd say it's time we get to know each other..." The evil ninja said, staring deep into her eyes... "You see... I come from a place where ninja's and martial arts is very common."

Figures... Amaya thought as he continued to talk.

"My father was a martial arts teacher. And he taught me all the basics of a ninja. I learned a lot when I was younger, and as I got older, I became more and more advanced... until one fateful day... my parents... were killed..."

Amaya had to gasp softly when she heard that. "Fluttering feathers... I'm so sorry, Night Ninja..."

The ninja looked down in hatred... "They were killed... by super heroes. Those heroes had no remorse or mercy for my ninja parents. That's where my hatred grew for them... I wanted to become the best ninja I could ever by to honor my father... even if it meant fighting you PJ pests..."

No wonder he had a hatred for the Masks, and that's why he wanted to be the best all the time... to avenge his father... the ninja was an orphan. How sad! For the first time since she was kidnapped... Amaya started to feel sorry for him.

"But you're a new exception, Amaya..." Night Ninja continued, "You have the grace and speed of a ninja. And that's what I like about you."

"Grace... maybe. But speed... no way. That's Catboy's specialty..." She corrected him.

"This isn't about that pussy cat. This is about you... if you become my bride, I promise to take good care of you, and together, we can destroy those who wronged us in the past..."

Amaya frowned. So that was why he kidnapped her. But doing this wasn't going to make things any better for him... or her for that matter. "But two wrongs don't make a right. And I learned that the hard way."

It was true. When Night Ninja and his minions wrecked her Flossy Flash action figure she made all by herself, she vowed to get revenge on them, by wrecking the ninja's huge statue of himself. It was then that she learned that getting back at someone for something bad... isn't a good idea.

As for the villain himself, he only scoffed, "I don't care about that. But enough talk. Time to eat!"

He clapped twice, as two Ninjalinos came over holding plates, before setting them down on the table. Amaya almost smiled at the sight of it. There was a fruit salad, baked chicken, a bowl of soup, and some orange juice. Night Ninja had the same thing. At first she was hesitant to eat it, fearing it may taste bad, but that didn't stop her from take an apple slice and biting into it.

It tasted... delicious.

"Wow... uh... this is good..." She said.

Night Ninja smirked, "I knew you'd like it..."

And so with that, they continued to eat the dinner, as the Ninjalinos played 'romantic' music on various instruments. For the most part, the food was good for Amaya. But what she couldn't comprehend, was how Night Ninja was eating with his mask on. How was that even possible? He may have been a ninja, but he sure was strange, that's for sure.

"Would you care for a second helping, Amaya?" He asked, wiping his... uh, mask.

"It depends on what you have left..." Was her response.

The two had a steady conversation, and even learned new things about one another. "You know... I have parents that aren't always around..." She said. "I don't like to talk about it... but they're always busy... so I'm living with my sisters..."

Night Ninja looked concerned, "Parents who abandoned you? How sad?"

"They didn't abandon me." Amaya held up her hands in defense, "They just... aren't around because they're so busy with their jobs. But I know that they love me no matter what."

"I understand. But it must be so frustrating not to see them a lot..."

"Well... yeah, I do miss them at times."

"Don't you worry, my princess. As soon as we are wedded, I'll take care of you! I promise..."

Amaya scoffed under her breath. That's what you say... but do you mean it? She thought bitterly. The nighttime villain seemed to notice that she was doubtful of what he said, as he put a hand on her shoulder, "Trust me, Amaya. Being a ninja will do you good..." He told her.

"I doubt it..." She said quietly.

"Oh come on, now. It'll be fun..."

He then clapped his hands together, "Time for dessert!"

As if on cue, the Ninjalinos came by with more trays of food. Upon lifting the covers, what Amaya saw made her gasp. There was a huge red velvet cake on one of the trays, a pumpkin pie on another, and cookies and other treats on others. It was like a dessert paradise...

"You... you fixed this all by yourself?" She asked Night Ninja.

"Actually, this is one thing my Ninjalinos are good at."

The gibberish minions nodded in approval. It wasn't very often that they got praise from their leader. He mostly insulted them and called them out for making mistakes.

But, the one thing that caught Amaya's attention, and that was the cake. On the top of it... was a small figurine of Owlette. It looked so cute. "Wow... I can't believe I'm saying this... but... thank you..." She whispered, "That cake... it looks great!"

"It's made special... just for you..." Night Ninja said with a wink. "Now, why don't we eat it up?"

Who knew that this villain could be so... generous?

Amaya happily took a fork he offered for her, and cut a piece of the cake. Of course, like the dinner before, it was delicious. But it was cake, so of course it would be. She happily eat two slices, only because she couldn't eat anymore. She was full. Not to mention tired.

Night Ninja took notice when she yawned, "Sleepy, are we?"

The owl hero nodded.

"I understand. All that food is pretty tiring! Ninjalinos! Get her to bed for a nap!"

Once again, the little minions came by, but this time, they had what looked like a bed for Amaya, as they suddenly propped her up and on it, before taking her out of the café. Talk about having a royal escort.

Before she knew it, she was back in her room, in her bed... sleeping away... and clutching the small Owlette figurine in her hands.

Maybe... just maybe... Night Ninja wasn't all that bad.

Wow. Night Ninja actually wasn't rough or violent this chapter. He was actually pretty nice, with that backstory of his. And even Amaya's starting to warm up to him. But hopefully she won't trust him right away. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and I apologize if it's short. And rest assured, as soon as I get back on my feet, I will update this story. Until then, make sure to check out my other story, Jake & Tori Stories. I am currently updating that one. I'll see you guys later, and as always, don't forget to review, please. Thank you!
