Lunch passed quickly, but Cole and Dash didn't go out again after the morning. Cole laid on the bed, resting. Dash sat in the other room, thinking to herself about everything. A tapping sound came from the door outside, onto the balcony. She looked up and went to see what it was.

"Booker?" she questioned.

She pulled open the door, a bird flying Booker into the room. She closed the door, turning to see the bird set Booker on a chair and then perch itself above him.

"What are you doing here?" Dash asked.

"Nothing much," Booker responded. "I thought you would be out so I can to borrow some more money for the casino."

"First off, what gives you the right to my well earned money," Dash retorted. "And second, you stole my money!"

"Borrowed," Booker replied. "I'll pay you back."

"Stolen because you never asked," Dash glared. "Wait, why are you even going into a Casino in the first place!"

"Because it's a free country," Booker snapped. "I'll can go where I please."

"And the bird?" Dash questioned.

"I found him," Booker said. "His name is Tom."

"What happened to your money?" Dash asked.

"You're just ms questions today," Booker grumbled.

"So answer them," Dash snapped.

"I spent it," Booker said. "I lost a bet and all the money."

"And whose problem is that?" Dash asked.

"Yours," Booker said.

"Why?" Dash asked.

"Because it was your money," Booker replied.

"You what!" Dash shouted.

She ran over to her suitcase to find the envelope that he money was once in was empty.

"You know I could call the cops on you for that!" Dash snapped.

"Don't," Booker said. "Look, I told a guy that we could play another game at 2, but I need something to bet so I can get it back."

"Use you bird," Dash growled.

Tom squawk, clearly taken back.

"Are you serious?" Booker glared.

"Dead," Dash glared back. "You won't get another Penny from me until you get that money back."

"Fine," Booker growled. "Let's go, Tom."

Dash watched as Tom picked up Booker and flew out the door. Dash slammed it shut and turned away. She sighed in relief, Booker always gave her a headache. She walked out of the room and into the other, seeing Cole awake and sitting upright on the bed.

"Who were you talking to?" Cole asked.

Dash jumped, stumbling into the wall.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you," Cole chuckled.

"I'm fine," Dash stammer. "It was talking on the phone with someone."

"That someone must be really loud because I could hear them like they were in the room with you."

"They were on speaker," Dash said, trying to cover it up.

"Alright," Cole stretched.

He slipped off the bed, stretching. He shook his head, knocking his hair into place before smiling at Dash. Dash blushed crazily, smiling at him.

"So, what are we doing now?" Cole asked.

"I don't know," Dash replied.

Cole moved close to Dash, placing his hands on the wall around Dash.

"You saved me back there," Cole smiled.

"It was nothing," Dash replied. "You do it all the time."

"Normally it's me who does the saving, though," Cole grinned.

"What are you getting at?" Dash asked, unable to stop smiling.

Cole didn't respond. Instead, he leaned in a kissed her. Dash was startled at first, but then returned it. Cole back away after a minute, seeing Dash in a daze. Dash was blushing profusely, and shoved Cole back. Cole toppled back onto the bed.

"What was that for?" Cole asked.

"You kissed me," Dash responded.

"You didn't like it?" Cole asked, worried.

"I wouldn't say that," Dash smirked.

Dash jumped onto the bed, landing on Cole. Cole let out a oof and a groan, smiling at Dash. Dash grinned widely at him, laughing.

"Bring it on," Cole laughed

Cole pulled himself free from Dash and knocked her back, kissing her again. He laughed in triumph as he leaned over Dash. Dash pushed him off before jumping onto the floor.

"That's enough of that," Dash chuckled.

"But it was fun, right?" Cole asked.

"Fine, I'll admit it was fun," Dash rolled her eyes.

Cole smirked. He climbed off the bed and turned to make the bed again. Dash pulled out her phone to see a message from Nicki.

Nicki: Hey! How are you doing?

Dash: I'm good. How are you?

Nicki: Fantastic! Roy and I just got back from our cruise and it was so romantic!

Dash: Sound like you had a blast

Nicki: You know it! I have tons of pictures to show you when you get home.

Dash: Are you back at the Temple already?

Nicki: No, we're visiting some other people in Ninjago City. We'll be back tonight.

Dash: Have fun. Cole, Zack and I are here for a couple more nights

Nicki: Anything fun stories?

Dash: Let's save those for everyone because Cole will want to help share them.

Nicki: Fine. I have to go. Text me later.

Dash: Alright, bye.

Dash slipped her phone away and turned to see Cole had moved outside and saw standing on the balcony. Dash walked up to him silently. She placed a hand around his back and he jumped. He turned to see her and smiled, leaning against the railing.

"Who were you texting?" Cole asked.

"Nicki," Dash replied. "She and Roy just got back from their cruise."

"I can't believe how long it has been since Kai and Jay came back," Cole sighed. "A whole week now."

"Hard to believe how much time has passed since then," Dash agreed. "Only two more days agreed then we can go see how much progress everyone is having back home."

Cole nodded. He stared off at the horizon, smiling.

"What shall we do?" Dash asked him.

"Well, we have about 4 hours until dinner," Cole said. "How about we get Zack and head to the beach?"

"Sounds like a plan," Dash nodded.

Dash laughed as Zack ran into the water with Cole hot on his heels. She sat on the beach, setting up the beach towels and everything. She turned back to see the boys goofing off in the water. They were splashing each other, jumping running and Cole was even picking Zack up and throwing him.

"Come on, Dash!" Cole called. "You're missing out on all the fun!"

Dash smiled and walked towards the water. Before she even got close, Cole climbed out and picked her up.

"Put me down!" Dash laughed.

Cole carried her out into the water. He dropped her in and dove in after her, laughing. Dash came up, inhaling sharply and pushing the soaked hair out of her face. She cast a glare at Cole who high fived with Zack.

"You are both weirdos," Dash said.

Cole and Zack laughed. They they both became soaked as Dash splashed them. They started splashing back and they started a splash fight between them, laughing and playing. It was a fun evening at the beach for them.
