Another day closer to Jay's proposal dinner date had approached. The ninja of lightning stood wearily after his restful sleep stretching to his fullest. He peered out of the small circular porthole window and smiled again at the sun as it began to rise in the distance. The lush green grass was glistening with dew and sparkled as the sun shone through each drop.
He loved this time of year, everything was bright and colourful, spring was turning into summer and today was looking to be a good day. Sensei hadn't given them any more tasks for the main improvements that had been required, had all been done the day prior leaving them a few days of respite unless anything urgent cropped up.
He looked around and noticed that Kai was already up or maybe he hadn't even been to bed, it didn't even look like the red covers had been disturbed. He listened carefully to the wall nearest to him, he could hear the dulcet tones of Kai, it was evident that he was speaking to his sister.
'I wonder if it's about me.' Jay thought cheekily but gave them some privacy and continued with his morning rituals, not caring in the slightest that Cole and Lloyd were still sleeping and snoring loudly.
Cole had his arm draped over the top of the bunk bed, he was drooling on his pillow obviously dreaming about some sweet treat, as usual, groaning every so often. His raven hair was obscuring even more of his face than usual leaving just his mouth and nose visible.
"Cole you really need a head scarf or something to keep that emo hair from your face bro," Jay whispered and fought the urge to get a sharpie marker to make a heart shaped tattoo on Cole's cheek.
He quickly washed up and brushed his teeth, grabbing his casual clothes. He found some khaki cargo pants with plenty of pockets as well as a tight fitting white t-shirt. The whole look was eventually complimented with a lightning inspired backpack that Jay had filled with swim shorts, a first aid kit and a towel.
He took a look in the mirror and smiled before grabbing a small but discreet toolkit as he left the room, slamming the door behind him with a typical smirk and laughing to himself struggling to contain his laughter as he heard Cole cursing loudly; he'd fallen off the bed.
'Ah well, at least he's up now.' Jay thought and laughed as he walked away.
"Morning Kai," Jay mumbled as he tucked into his buttered toast.
"Morning, slept better last night?"
"Uh-huh, yep. What time are we setting off for this lake?" Jay asked and dropped his backpack to the floor carefully near the entrance to the deck noting Kai's bag was in the same location.
Kai stared at him for a few seconds, "When everyone else is up and breakfasted, I want to set off before lunch that way we can eat on the way and the heat won't be at its highest until at least 1 pm, there's nothing worse than being sticky and warm and knowing you still have far to travel."
"What sort of direction is this place in?" Jay asked, hoping to see Kai point to the starboard side which was the exact direction of the meteor's descent from last night. But he was pointing in the opposite direction to the bow.
"Oh okay," Jay replied but it came out as more of a groan.
"Everything sorted for tomorrow?" Kai asked without eye contact, his gaze drawn to a book he was reading yet his voice was still clear and sharp.
"Yes of course, just need Nya to show up which I'm guessing you'll be in charge of," Jay replied and took a sip of his tea, watching the back of Kai's head tilt.
"How hard is that gonna be! Sheesh I know Nya and yeah she'll question me but then I've got my own tricks. Don't worry Jay she'll be ready to go on this dinner date at the right time and no sooner." Kai replied adding emphasis onto the words 'dinner date' like it was a funny term to use.
"Just make sure she is because the restaurant will give our table away otherwise and this would have been a wasted endeavour."
"You worry too much Jay, has anyone ever told you that? What could possibly happen? Honestly bro I know she loves you because she said so this morning so it's highly likely she's gonna say yes and then you'll both be free to make plans and so on." Kai replied and shifted uncomfortably even if his mind was finally beginning to accept the fact that Nya was serious about her relationship with Jay.
She had made it that clear this morning when Kai had spoken to her as not just a brother but as a friend who only had her best interests at heart.
Only then did he realise she was capable of making up her own mind. She had shown him just how mature she was now and based on her answers and the fact she remained in control of her temper made Kai realise she was speaking the truth. She loved him plain and simple and Jay loved her too.
Kai had no doubts about the whole proposal now, it was set in stone that the whole dinner date would be a success and she would return back the Bounty with a shining ring on her finger and Jay would be tempered for once, knowing he had finally succeeded in wooing her.
'Of course, she's gonna say yes, honestly Jay what's got you so worried?' Kai thought to himself shaking his head at his brother in blue who appeared to get more nervous the closer the day got. Even his mumbling had returned tenfold, he seemed clumsy with his odd sparring fights making silly mistakes here and there which Kai knew was due to him losing his focus. Finally, he was struggling to focus on simple tasks which he would normally excel at mostly inventing and repairing, he had just pushed everything away and ate on his own whenever he could.
A few hours later all the ninja and the one kunoichi had set off for this hidden treasure otherwise known as this secluded lake that Kai had mentioned last night. It hadn't taken long at all, in fact, thanks to Zane, he had lessened the time further by clearing a path through some vines. The path had led across a downed tree trunk which wasn't rotten enough to crumble so they had used it as a bridge to traverse the small ravine beneath them.
A risky endeavour but Zane connected them all by ropes that he had bought in his backpack. He left the ropes and wrapped them around the downed tree trunk leaving a marker on the floor before programming the exact coordinates into his memory banks.
Finally, once the ninja had found the lake, they had duly stripped from their restrictive garments and placed their towels onto the nearest rocks avoiding the floors or trees in case of 'mini beasts' as Jay sometimes called them; insects to everyone else.
Nya had led Jay away from the crowd and the two of them were still in the throes of passion in what appeared to be a cavern of sorts. Kai, Cole and Lloyd were playing water Frisbee enjoying themselves too much to notice. Zane was just relaxing and enjoying the place and the serenity of the green leaves which provided a canopy sufficient enough to create a glistening sunlight appearance on the surface of the water.
The water, however, was cold not quite body temperature but it was adequate if the physical body kept moving. It was similar to a literal swimming pool, always below body temperature for fear of pushing yourself too far in heated water would result in overheating.
He switched off his hearing function to Jay and Nya, he could hear what they were doing so he swam closer to Kai and Lloyd, catching the Frisbee as it flew over his head. The closer he got the less he could hear anything because the sound of the waterfall blocked out everything else, which explained why Kai couldn't hear what his sister was doing.
"Hey good catch Zane, you finally wanna join us ya know make it a fair game." Cole boomed but it came out as a distorted whisper.
"Yes, of course, a fair fight, whose team though?" Zane replied loudly but realised his voice was too quiet.
Cole pointed to himself and Zane quickly swam to him, noting the water was incredibly deep. The only lifeforms in this lake were freshwater trout, catfish and the odd eel here and there, so dinner would be sorted easily if Zane could fashion himself a spear of sorts to catch some with.
A few hours had passed and the ninja had eaten their lunch both Jay and Nya had a healthy pink glow on their faces as they tucked into their respective lunches whilst Kai and Cole lay down to recuperate after their lengthy games of Frisbee and water polo.
Lloyd was busy etching their names into the largest tree bark he could find whilst Zane was making a sharp but thin spear suitable for harpooning and skewering a small fish or multiple fish. The master of ice stripped of the toughened cellulose membrane from the long thin flexible stick before whittling the tip down to a sharp dangerous point.
He got up and walked back into the water with his handful of pale stripped sticks.
"What ya doing Zane?" Cole asked as he lifted his head shielding his eyes from the sun with his hand.
"Getting dinner ready of course," Zane replied with a smile. "This lake is teaming with freshwater fish and even if we do not eat fish tonight we can take them back to the Bounty and eat them tomorrow. This is as fresh as it comes Cole and as far as I can tell the water quality here is exceptional, no pollutants either so the meat should be edible." Zane finished and looked back at Lloyd who had seemingly finished with his destruction of a perfectly healthy tree bark.
"Can I come help?" Lloyd asked.
"Sure, but it is not as easy as you think. I guess it is similar to being a ninja for patience is called for as is speed and determination." Zane replied and passed Lloyd two of his five handmade spears.
"Just follow my lead Lloyd and watch carefully," Zane said as he dived into the crystal clear depths of the lake.
It was only tainted green the deeper they got, even the rocks where the water lapped up at them were covered with a soft amount of green seaweed that resembled the sort of Halloween hair you would expect to find attached to a witches hat. Lloyd touched it gently and followed Zane back into the cold water again excited to be learning a valuable skill. Not that being a ninja leader wasn't valuable, it was extremely valuable but he also needed to learn basic survival skills too and what better way than to watch a master of all trades teach him how to spear fish.
With an excited grin, Lloyd followed and dived under the depths to watch as Zane skewered his first fish with expert precision.
Zane was quite skilled at spear fishing as Lloyd had found out, although he wasn't that bad himself as he too had been successful after a few failed attempts. It took determination as Zane had mentioned as well as a good lung capacity to just watch and wait as the fish came swimming back.
For such timid creatures of the water, the inquisitive aquatic life forms would always return back to their original position. It was almost like they had forgotten that mere moments ago they were fighting for their lives amidst the slightly blood tinged water from their fallen fishy comrades.
When they both came up for breath, Lloyd looked like a blonde drowned rat whilst Zane's metal hair still stayed put, looking shinier than ever.
"Sheesh, it's like they have the mind of a goldfish, haa." Lloyd laughed and skewered his first.
"Actually some aquarium life forms can remember events for months. It was a theory that has now been proven to be wrong." He frowned at his own reasoning.
"Although do not ask me how they found that out, personally I like to think they only have a memory of five seconds which would explain why they are so easy to….catch," Zane replied and caught another which was quickly removed by a shiny black thing that coiled around his lower leg.
"Damn the one that got away huh?" Lloyd smirked at his brother who looked annoyed with the black eel.
