For those of you who are wondering, Brad is the dark-haired kid who loves flowers, and Gene's the red-haired genius with the glasses. I found their names from the Ninjago episode "Double Trouble".
*Dressing Up (Sequel to Fangpyric Matchmaker)*
"Wow," Pythor said with surprise. "I can't believe Skales actually asked you to go with him to that art show."
"I know," Amber squealed with delight before twirling around on one foot, clutching a dress in her arms. "He's such a doll!"
"So…is that why you asked me to help pick out an outfit?" he asked as he sat down on the bed. "Why couldn't you ask Nya or one of the other Generals?"
"Nya's already getting ready for her date with Jay," the girl explained. "Acidicus is busy giving Skalidor a good scolding for pestering Cole, and Fangtom is training with the other ninja. Besides, you appeared to have some free time on your hands…or coils for that matter."
"I…guess that's reasonable," Pythor replied with a shrug.
"Great," she said with delight before holding the dress against the front of her. "Now, what do you think about this one?"
"Not enough skirt, I'm afraid," he answered, tilting his head to the side. "You don't want Skales to nosebleed all over you, do you?" Amber then looked at the dress again.
"Point taken," she replied, tossing it onto the bed next to the Anacondrai and taking out another dress out of the closet and showing it to him.
"How about this?"
"Too much green."
"This one?"
"Too many frills."
"Oh, not this one, I hope."
"Are you kidding me? I agree that it's too old-fashioned…uh, why do you keep it anyway if you don't like it?"
"I didn't say I don't like it," she stated as she put the old-fashioned blue gown with white flowers on the skirt. "I don't want to wear it because it was my grandmother's. And wearing it will only…make me think of her…" Pythor looked down with shame.
"I'm sorry." Amber just turned to him with a smile.
"Don't worry about it," she replied before turning back to the closet. "It's not your fault…Oh, maybe this might work." She then held out an aquamarine dress with a smooth skirt going down to below her knees and tiny turquoise green elm leaves. There is also a silk scarf that she could tie around her neck.
"It's perfect," Pythor replied, standing up with delight. "And I have an idea on how to tie up the scarf." He then took the scarf off the hanger and began to tie it carefully. When he was done, the knot in the scarf looked just like a blooming flower.
"Wow," Amber replied, looking at the flower knot in awe. "Where did you learn to tie that kind of a knot?"
"You'd be surprised how much free time I had with Nya," he answered with an amused smile.
"Just don't go making Jay jealous," she teased.
"Please, I'd rather take my chances with a Skeleton Army than come between those cute lovebirds."
*Surprise Delivery (deleted fan scene from Double Trouble)*
"Oh, there you are," Nya said to Dark Jay and not suspecting he's an evil clone. She then lifted up her welding mask. "I was wondering when you'd get back; you're usually not late."
"It's a whole new me, baby," Dark Jay replied, observing his fingers all cool-like. He then admired her handy-work on the Sonic Raider. "Nice work. We should take it out for a spin; bet we could make a lot of people jealous." Nya tossed the keys to the Raider up before catching them and jumping off onto the ground.
"I should've known spending time at Darkly's School would turn you into a bad boy," she teased.
"Darkly's School?" Dark Jay chuckled. "Is that where we were?" Nya eyed him suspiciously.
"What's gotten into yo-?" She was cut off with surprise when Dark Jay grabbed her, swung her around, and pressed his lips into hers for a kiss. She then started to kiss him back as that fuzzy feeling started to take her over…
As Jay then took the keys out of the distracted girl's hand, Acidicus slithered into the garage with a white paper bag in one hand and his coffee that he's drinking in the other hand.
"Nya, I hope you don't mind, but I brought yo-" He spatted out a huge jet of coffee when he saw the two humans making out.
"GAAAH! Uh…did I come at a bad time?" he asked before Jay broke the kiss and freed the dazed Nya from his arms.
"It's a bad boy thing," he purred to her before hopping into the Sonic Raider. He then started it up and drove out of the garage in a wild manner, a swooned Nya and a shocked Acidicus watching after him.
"Call me," she called with a bashful giggle before Acidicus then stared into his coffee.
"What did those humans put in this latte?" he asked, swishing it around a bit.
*Killing Suspense (Starring my oc Flora Demeter Chumsworth*
"Is it all set yet?" asked Lloyd, turning to Brad and Gene (his two friends from Darkly's boarding school).
"It will be ready in .35 minutes," Gene answered, smoothing out the wrinkles in the rose red tablecloth. "All we need to do is wait for the smoothie-parfaits." Lloyd nodded in reply and returned to his job as lookout.
The three boys have found out that Acidicus has a huge crush on Pythor's sister Flora and decided to try to get them to hook up. And since Valentine's Day is coming up, they believe that this little setup of theirs will do the trick.
Here's the plan: First, they call Acidicus and Flora over to Ninjago City Park for a "favor". Then they set up this spot under the large willow tree to make it look like a romantic date: a table for two with candlelight and romantic music.
When the two snakes arrive, the boys will tell them that they volunteered to do some work for the Ninjago City Valentine's Fest, a festival in which couples get to hang out, have fun, and enjoy each other's company while helping out charities there. They will then add that they want to know if the couples will enjoy their Valentine Smoothie-Parfaits (parfaits made up of layers of smoothies and/or other flavors) and ask the two snakes to test them out.
A moment later, Brad came over with two tall ice-cream-sundae glasses of smoothie-parfaits, Chocolate Strawberry to be exact: a parfait made up of layers of strawberry smoothie and chocolate syrup and topped with whipped cream sprinkled with chocolate pieces and topped with a chocolate-covered strawberry. He then placed the smoothie-parfaits on the table on either side of the peppermint-patterned candle.
"It's all set now, Lloyd," Brad then said to the blond boy as they then placed two glasses of water beside the smoothie-parfaits and sprinkling the table with rose petals.
"Great," Lloyd replied before he spotted Flora slithering up to the willow tree, "because here comes Flora." The boys then finished with the rose petals and joined Lloyd as the Anacondrai slithered up to them.
"Hi, Lloyd," she greeted them before looking up at the table. "Hi, boys. Oh, did you do all this by yourselves?"
"Yeah," Brad answered. "We've volunteered for the Valentine's Fest coming up and wanted to test out our new smoothie-parfaits. They're parfaits made of different layers of smoothies, and you can add other flavors too if you like: whipped cream, chocolate syrup, yogurt…you name it."
"That sounds like a fun idea," Flora replied, "but why did you ask me here?"
"We wanted to test out how romantic it looks," Gene answered, "and we're hoping you can help."
"I see," she replied, "and who is going to be my 'date'?" Her question was answered when a familiar voice called out.
"Lloyd? Boys, I'm here." The four of them turned to see the Venomari General slithering up to them, and he blushed when he saw Flora.
"Fl-Flora," he said nervously, "I d-didn't know you were going to be here."
"Oh, the boys asked if I can help them with their volunteer work," she explained.
"And that's why you're here too," Gene said, guiding him over to the table. "We need you to act like your on a date and see what you think of the setup we made."
"Uh, alright," Acidicus replied with a blush as he and Flora sat down.
"You just try out the smoothie-parfaits and chat for a while," Lloyd instructed. "The guys and I are, uh, going to quick check on some decorations." Then the boys turned on a portable radio they brought along to a romantic song and left to carry out their "task", leaving Acidicus and Flora alone together. The Venomari then gulped a little before turning to Flora.
"So, uh," he started nervously, "these are smoothie-parfaits. They look delicious." Flora turned to him with a smile as he timidly fingered the straw in the drink.
"It certainly does," she stated before taking a sip to try it. "Oh, this is wonderful." Acidicus took a sip as well.
"You are right," he replied with a smile. "I think the boys are going to be a big hit with these." Flora giggled in agreement.
Meanwhile, Lloyd, Brad, and Gene were hiding in a bush not to far from the two Serpentine, observing their progress.
"So far they're laughing and smiling," Brad said to them. "That's good, right?"
"It will only be good if they kiss," Lloyd answered.
"Not necessarily," Gene replied. "Statistics state that it's sometimes not a good idea to kiss on a first date; otherwise, they will bring forth the wrath of the girl's father."
"But they're alone," the Green Ninja explained. "No one's gonna find out except us."
"Guys," Brad said quickly, "I think they're getting closer to each other." The three of them as Flora and Acidicus then began bringing their faces closer to each other, blushing a little as they got closer. Will they kiss?
"Acidicus…"
"Yes…Flora?" The boys held their breath for the big moment…
"You got a piece of strawberry stuck on your fang," Alura giggled, using a napkin to help get it off.
"Oh, thanks," he replied with a smile.
"AW, C'MON!" Lloyd yelled, popping up from the bush. "YOU'RE KILLING US HERE!" Gene and Brad then pulled him back down, but the two Serpentine have already noticed this.
"Maybe we should kill them with more suspense," Acidicus joked, causing Flora to laugh in reply.
