Chapter 7; AMBUSH!
Anne's POV
It is has been such a long time since I have seen her but I am positive that she will be excited to see me. She would love to help Nya find the perfect dress. She is THE seamstress. The bounty stops signaling us we have reached Acacia Village.
"Who is your friend's name by the way, Anne?" Emma asks.
"Did I not tell you? Oh I guess not. Her name is Cece."
"Cece…" she says. We walk out off the bounty and onto the street. I take a glance where we are and then decide where her shop is. I lead them further down the street up to the main shopping district. I look around the old buildings and walk straight to her shop.
"Rose Boutique, interesting" Nya says when we are right outside the shop. I open the door and glance for only a second to find Cece positioning some cute clothes on a display. She looks at who entered her store and smiles vivaciously. We dash into each others arms to form a big hug.
"Anne I have not seen you in forever!" She says.
"I am so glad to see you too!" I reply and let go of my best friend.
"What brings you here?" she says while glancing at Emma and Nya behind me.
"I have a favor to ask of you Cece." I say and I practically push Nya near her. "My friend here, Nya is her name is in desperate need of something to wear on a date!"
"A date and you had nothing to wear? Good thing you have me I will defiantly be able to find you something wonderful! Who is the lucky man to be dating someone as beautiful as you?" she says in almost one breath.
"Well his name is Jay." Nya answers meekly.
"Come this way the best stuff is in the back." Cece takes us in the back room. Cece flies around the room like a busy bee searching for something that would look good on Nya.
"Feel free to browse the racks; it will help me see what you like." She says to Nya. I signal Emma to sit down, this may take a while. After they find about ten dress or so Cece showed Nya the dressing room. We all sit on some comfy couches a bit outside the dressing room to wait for Nya to show us the dresses.
"So Anne, how have you and your mother been, are you still living in that cruddy apartment?" Cece asks sitting beside me.
"Well she is fine but I am not living there anymore." She looks at me questionably and replies;
"Where are you two living now?"
"She still lives in the apartment; I just am not living there anymore. I am living on the bounty now, with the ninja!" She looks surprised.
"You're living on the Destiny's Bounty?"
"Yes" I reply
"With the ninja?" she asks
"I already told you!" I say.
"You got to introduce me." She says.
"Sure…" I say Nya comes out in a black dress that goes a little above the knees and Cece looks at her for a second.
"Nope" she says and Nya walks back into the dressing room.
"Nya and the name Jay did seem familiar. So they are a thing! That is what everybody has been saying but I was not sure if those rumors where true or not." She continues.
"They are so cute together." I say.
"Huh?" I hear Nya say inside of the dressing room.
"So Anne, are there any dresses here you would like to try on for size?" she says with a suspicious but joking manner
"What are you implying?" I question.
"You know what I am thinking of."
"I am sorry to say I am still single Cece. But are you dating anyone?" before she could answer I knew what she was going to say. "I thought so."
"Not Yet Anne, not yet, someday I'll…"
"What? Get your revenge?" I say and Emma laughs a bit at my remark. Before a cat fight could break loose Nya walks out of the dressing room in the perfect dress. It was a royal purple and it had an A-line skirt that comes down from the waist with a silk black belt. the top of the dress was a V neck and the sleaves flowed a bit abouve the elbows. She twirled around as we all stared in aw of the beautiful dress.
"That is definitely the one" Cece says. Emma randomly shows a score card with the number "10" written on it. Nya gives us a chuckle. Nya walks back into the dressing room while Cece and I discussed a price. After that was all settled (and Nya out of the dressing room) we all decided to go out to get some iced tea and other drinks of the sorts.
"Knight of the moon, my little fiddler on the roof is a knight?" Cece asks
"Yup" I reply
"Can you even fight?" and she takes a sip out of her glass
"Apparently" I say still a bit cynical.
"Practice makes perfect I suppose." Emma adds in. (She helped me to explain it to her when Nya just politely smiled and nodded)
"And you have been with the ninja all this time and you didn't even know?" she directs her question to Nya and Nya nods with conferment.
"Wow, I really got to meet the guys who have stolen my BFF away from me." Cece gets up and leads us to the bounty (even though she had no clue where to go).
At the bounty and about to become ambushed by Cece, Kai POV
I wipe the sweat off my forehead as I accept Cole's hand. He just won a sparing match against me. I take a sip of water and lean against the wall.
"Have you seen any of the girls recently?" He wonders
"Now that I think of it, I have not seen them for a while." I respond. Zane who was also in the room, sparing with Jay notices our conversation.
"They left to meet a friend of Anne's. Some sort of Fashion emergency..." I stare at him after hearing the last bit.
"I think we have done enough training today. Whose turn is it to cook?" Jay asks.
"Mine" Zane says.
I then noticed that the girls were coming back to the bounty. (They were training on the deck) It seems they brought Anne's friend along. They walk up onto the deck and we all stand still when her friend just walks around inspecting us. She stares me up and down last.
"What is your deal?" I ask.
"What is yours?" and she smirks.
"Ladies first." I say.
"Oh what a gentlemen," She says sarcastically. "I am just here to meet these 'Legendary ninja' I have been hearing about." She continues still very sarcastic which just made my blood boil over.
"Whoa, No need to blow a fuse, hothead." She says
"If I had a dollar for every time someone has called him that…" Jay says and I turn to face him.
"No need to blow a fuse, hothead" Jay repeats.
"Whatever" I finally conclude.
"So these are the Ninja?" Her friend asks Anne and Anne nods her head.
"Eh... could be worse i guess..." she turns to face me again. "I am Cece by the way," she says and she just walks past me with the rest of the girls in a group behind her.
"That girl has some attitude." I say to myself.
"Said our hothead brother," Cole says accusingly.
With Cece & Co (Cece POV)
I walk out the deck and right when we reach Anne's room we all burst out laughing!
"You showed him!" Emma says
"I know right?" I say. "I would say this is a suitable environment for you Anne. But keep a look out for Hothead for me." I look to see Anne has some mischievous smirk on her lips.
"What?" I say.
"Oh nothing…"
"What is up?" I say determined. Anne smiles and gives me a glare that says 'you like him don't you?'
"What? I never!" I say.
"Sure…"
"Wow, this is some bash." Emma says to Nya.
"That is definitely true." Nya agrees with her.
"Ha-ha! You all don't know how to live!" I say.
"Is she always like this?" Emma asks
"You got that right." Anne says
"What time is it?" Nya asks
"I sense dinner is almost prepared" Emma says.
"Is it that late already?" I say. "I think I should get home."
"You totally should stay for dinner, Cece! It is Zane's night to cook anyways!" Anne says
"If you insist…" I say and Jay walks in the room.
"Dinner is ready." he says then he walks to the dinnining room leaves.
"You where spot on Emma!" I say quite impressed
"That is me for you." She says and we all head to the dinning room. We all sit down next to each other; of course Nya is sitting by Jay. Zane brings in the food; Pork chops! I dig in and complement Zane on his mad cooking skills. He politely nods and sits by Emma. I glance around the table look at all the ninja, however Kai is avoiding any eye contact with me. When it is after dinner everyone simply sits in a game room. we all play various video game but mostly the girl teams win most of the time.
"I think I should be on my way home." I say after beating Kai at many, many video games.
"Awww, can't you stay any longer?" Anne says like when we were kids.
"My parents are probably a little worried, could you drop me off at my house by chance?" I ask. They drop me off at my house and I walk in and make my way to bed. I collapse and fall to sleep quickly; today was truly a tiring day.
