First one is yaoi, feel free to skip.

*Green Ninja, Blue Cobra (sequel to Tell Me the Truth)*

Lloyd never thought this would happen. First Skales had escaped from prison; and now he's alone with him in a serious faceoff! Well, it's a serious faceoff to the boy. To Skales, it's just a romantic encounter.

"You just won't leave me alone, would you?" the human snarled through his mask.

"I'm probably just as stubborn as you are, sweetheart," Skales purred. That got Lloyd angry.

"Don't call me that!" He then ran at him to knock him down, but the Hypnobrai moved aside quickly before tripping him with his tail. Once he's down and turning onto his back, he lunged forth and pinned him by his arms.

"Don't you miss it, Lloyd?" he asked softly. "The thrill of the fight between us?"

"I get that from kicking your butt," Lloyd spat. Skales only laughed as he removed his mask.

"I love it when you resist me," he purred before pressing his lips into the boy's. Lloyd didn't even get the chance to fight back.

*Time to Think*

"Lady Boanya," Skales said to her, "I know this is a bad time to be telling you this, but…I want you to know that I love you." Boanya only smiled before hugging him.

"I know that already," she replied softly, "and I love you too." Skales then returned the hug before looking into her eyes.

"Boanya, if I return to you safely after the battle I am entering is over," he said to her with sincerity in his red spiral eyes, "I wish to ask your brother Pythor if I can take you as my wife. I know this is all so sudden, but I will give you time to think."

"I don't need time to think," she replied, "because my answer is yes. And I have faith that you will return to me safely." She then wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him, and he returned it with joy and faith in his heart.

*Constellation Date (sequel to Garden Date)*

Pam looked up at the starry sky. For their third day of the week, Pythor has taken her to a nice spot under a cherry blossom tree in Ninjago Park with desserts and some warm sparkling cider.

"For this date," he purred to her, "I thought we'd do a little star-gazing." Pam was surprised at this proposal.

"I haven't done that since I was a kid."

"Really?" he asked with a smile. "Well, let's see if you still remember your constellations." Pam then looked up and looked carefully. Thanks to Pythor's magic, they don't have to worry about the city lights blocking out the stars.

"Oh, there's one," she said pointing at the sky. "Orion the Hunter. See the three stars making up his belt?"

"I do," he answered before pointing one out for her. "Oh, there's one shaped like a triangle."

"The Summer Triangle," Pam stated. "According to this one book I've read some time ago, it appears in the sky." Pam never knew until now just how fun it would be to try out something she hasn't done in so long.
