Lloyd and [name] watched as sensei took off for the Ferris wheel. The ninjas diverged into their own conversation afterwards. [name] knew where Kai was going to take it so she grabbed Lloyd's hand and dragged him away.
Now, that it's just the two of us what do you want to do? I don't think sensei will mind if we're out as long as we return before it gets too dark.
Hmmm. Lloyd looked around. Wanna play darts? We could win a prize?
I've got nothing against it, unless I turn out bad.
I did infact have something against darts, and it was because I was bad at it. Lloyd was surprisingly very good at darts. He laughed at my frustration and refusal to give up. Until, I gave in and asked for his help.
He smugly pushed me aside and popped enough balloons to get a prize.
What do you want?
What? But you won.
Yeah, for you. Now, choose.
I looked at the racks, kinda forgetting we would win a prize. I just wanted to win. But, there was this really cute looking shark plush. I pointed to it, and Lloyd asked the game-runner for it.
Once Lloyd had it in his arms he gave it to me. I kissed his cheek.
Thank you!
He blushed and nodded.
Come on! Sensei is probably off of the Ferris wheel now. It'd be the perfect time to go on it now.
[name] once again took Lloyd' hand and dragged him towards the Ferris wheel line. It felt like ages but the two were finally on the Ferris wheel.
[name] was looking every which way as they moved up into the air. Meanwhile, unknown to her, Lloyd was staring at her. He still needed to find time to ask the ninja about this weird bubbly feeling. He has it right now.
[name] was looking around to avoid thinking about her feelings for him. It wasn't that Cole was trying to discourage her from her feelings. It's just he didn't need her to worry about feelings. Not that young.
But, [name] was having trouble ignoring the giddy feeling she got whenever she looked at him. Or how her heart started to race when she took his hand. Or how angry and flustered he got when she mentioned she was a few inches taller than him.
They'd end up glaring at each other before bursting into laughter. She also couldn't ignore how when she took his hand, they'd fit together perfectly. As if made to be one. Her hand was only slightly smaller than his.
[name] couldn't help but get that giddy feeling when she looked into his ruby eyes, smile when he would smile. [name] also loved to pick fun at Lloyd which he would do right back to her.
It was late afternoon by the time the two got back to the bounty, hands full of sweets. There had been a sweets shop, [name] and Lloyd couldn't contain themselves and spent the rest of their money on the candy.
They were now back inside their room, eating and laughing. Both extremely hyper. It felt good, neither could stop laughing and they kept making jokes and adding onto the other's joke. It was one of those times where nothing but being together in that moment mattered.
[name] was cuddling her shark plush, giggling as Lloyd told her a joke. She threw her head back giggling with a big grin on her face. He smiled at her grin, and started grinning too.
Unknown to the two kids, Nya was passing by. Cleaning up some of her Samurai armor. She saw the two kids laughing their heads off and smiled.
Lloyd isn't such a bad kid, he just needed a friend. Some people to trust. Someone to love him for what he was born as. That person was [name]. I need a picture of this. I can show it off to the boys later.
Nya pulled out her phone and snapped a picture of the two kids laying on the floor giggling, surrounded by a pile of candy.
HEY, GUYS! IT'S TIME FOR DINNER!
Nya hurried to put her stuff away. [name] and Lloyd got up shoving each other around, walking to the dinner table.
Today was fun lots and lots of fun.
TIME SKIP, AFTER DINNER:
[name] and Lloyd were back to lying on the floor together. Both ate wayyyy too much candy before dinner and now both had stomach aches. Neither could sleep, and their laughter didn't help either.
Y'know, I blame you for this. [name] started just because she knew Lloyd would argue back with her.
But he was too stuffed on candy to argue as of right now.
Mmm, course you do.
Oh, come on! No talk back? You agree just like that?
mmmmMmm, tired. Full can't talk. Plus I was the one to point out the candy shop. Soooo, blame me all you want. But, don't forget who won darts and got you that plushy.
Yeah, yeah, thank you. Today was fun.
I can't believe uncle said we couldn't go down to the park originally.
Luckily, the samurai dealt with everything so fast that master ended up letting us go.
Lloyd and [name] looked at each other before laughing knowing exactly who the mysterious samurai is. It was like time was slowed down compared to earlier where everything happened so fast and the day went by before either realized it.
[name]
Hmm?
Than-thanks for being my friend.
Of course, and you mean best friend by the way. Unless you've found someone to replace me?
No, no, nothing like that, and you're right, best friend.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hmmmmm, I wonder why Nya took that picture? Guess, we'll just have to find out. So this chapter lines up with the next chapter. Obviously the conversation the ninja were having in the beginning of this chapter is the same convo as the one starting off the next chapter.
SO, the beginning of these two starts on the same day, if that makes sense. Meaning the next chapter most likely happens over a span of days if I'm remembering the episode correctly. Thanks for reading! BYE!
