Nya's POV:

"So... how'd it go with my brother last night?" I asked Skylor.

"Oh, amazing! He's such a gentleman and is surprisingly attractive." She said

"I don't understand you two. Why would you waste your time trying to continuously impress the opposite gender just so you could say 'I have a boyfriend'." Pixal said

"Sheesh Pix I thought you were supposed to be the android that is closest to human." Skylor joked

"To me, the premise of dating is one that I do not wish to concern myself with."

I walked with the two girls to a nearby café.

"What's this place? I've never been here before." Skylor said

"It's new. I thought that since you and Kai got on so well last night... you would want to meet him again today and maybe go on another date with him?" I suggested.

"Wait. He works here?" She asked. I nodded. "I-I'd love to go on another date with him..."

"Great. Let's go in." I said

Kai's POV:

I looked up as I heard the door open. I was pleased to see Skylor, Nya and their friend Pixal.

"Hey Sky!" I said running up to her and hugging her.

"Hey Kai." She smiled, hugging me back. "This is Pixal."

"Hello." She said

"And I assume you've met Nya."

"Hi stranger." I said to Nya, who punched me hardly in the arm. "Ouch! That hurt!"

"Oh grow up." She said.

I turned to face Skylor. "So, my shift just ended.. would you want to maybe go see a movie?"

"Sure! Sounds great."

No POV:

"Kai!! Your shift is NOT over. You still have another two hours left." Kai heard from behind him. He turned around and was unsurprised to see Zane there.

"Oh come on Zane! Can you please just cover my shift?"

Zane sighed. "Fine. But I can't keep doing this for you."

"Thanks Zane your the best. I owe you one." Kai said, walking towards the door with Skylor

"Okay... but this is the twelfth one you own me this month!" Zane said

"Haha... classic Zane." Kai laughed, leaving the Café.

Zane sighed. "Sorry about that. Take a seat and I'll be with you in a minute."

Nya and Pixal walked over to a table and waited. Out of the corner of her eyes, Pixal was watching Zane with a smiled and I light blush dusted on her cheeks.

"I think I'm going to have the chocolate cupcake. What about you Pixal?"

"Hmm? I'll.. have the same.." she said, not really paying attention to the question.

Nya was confused by this. Pixal had never wanted to try chocolate willingly and it's was almost impossible for her to eat a whole cupcake of it. Nya then noticed where Pixal's eyes were and more importantly, who they were on.

She smirked at her and Pixal eventually turned her direction back to Nya.

" 'Not wish to concern yourself with' hmmmmmm?????" She said with a smirk.

"W-what? I.. I don't know what your talking about." She blushed

"Oh come on Pix! How often are you gonna meet another droid?"

"Quite often actually. But the problem is that they are all the emotionless ones and every droid in Ninjago is built by my farther."

"Well, I saw him get angry at Kai so he certainly isn't emotionless." Nya said. "And since you can go through the systems of every droid built by your farther...."

"I already checked." Pixal sighed "he's not built by him!!" She grinned

"Awwwhhh!!!! You two would make such a cute couple!"

"Oh shut it Nya." Pixal giggled.

While Nya and Pixal had been talking, Zane was quietly admiring Pixal from a distance, blushing ever so slightly with a small smile on his face.

"So... I noticed that hot head left the building early again." An employee named Cole said, coming through.

"I said I'd cover his shift again." Zane said, mostly focusing on Pixal.

Cole looked at his friend with confusion.

"You okay Zane? You seem even more distant than usual."

"I'm fine..." Zane sighed.

"Your pouring tea into the sink instead of the teacup."

"Oh crap!" Zane said, snapping back to reality.

"It's not like you to get that lost in a daydream. So what's on your mind?" Cole asked

"Nothing!" Zane said, really quickly.

"Alright... if you say so." Cole said, not fully convinced.

Zane went over to the table where the two girls were and asked what they wanted to eat.

"A chocolate cupcake please." Nya said

"I'll just have some tea." Pixal said.

"Okay. I'll be back soon."

"Thank you." Nya read his name tag. "Zane."

"Uhh, no problem. Umm...."

"That's Pixal." Nya said quickly.

"Nya!" Pixal hissed

"Oh your Kai's sister aren't you?"

"Yep."

"Well it's nice to meet you both." Zane said. He turned and walked away.

"Zane is a cute name isn't it?" Nya smirked

"Zip it Nya." Pixal said angrily. She looked and waited until Zane was out of earshot. "But yes it is an ADORABLE name!!! He's just so cute and dreamy and... perfect in every way..." she sighed

"Wow Pix. You've only met him for a minute and you're already obsessed!"

"I am not obsessed! I just... think he's a really nice guy that I would like to spend my time with."

"Well, your not gonna a have that by sitting here." Nya said

"So what should I do??"

"Ask for his number."

"I can't just go and ask for his number!!"

"Why not? Jay did that for me."

"I just met the guy! I don't want him to think I'm some desperate weirdo."

"I'm sure he won't think that!"

"You can't be sure!"

"Well then, what are you gonna do then?"

"I don't know... maybe I could just come here quite often? Build up a friendship with him? Then maybe I'll have the courage to ask him out?"

"Okay... I guess that could work."

Zane's POV:

I walked back over to the counter and started to make Pixal's tea. I was still watching her from the corner of my eye. I smiled slightly but then she looked up at me so I turned my attention back to the tea and blushed.

"Okay Zane, what the hell was that?" Cole asked me

"What was what?"

"That. Over there. I've got to say, that was the single worst attempt at flirting I have ever seen."

"Flirting?!? I wasn't flirting!! I swear!"

"Suure..."

"I WASNT!"

"Right, right. It's just that you're blushing and you've been staring at that droid over there for quite a while..."

"I wasn't flirting. Buuutt.... I maaay have a teeny tiny little crush on her." I admitted

Cole just grinned at me.

"What? What is it?" I asked

"Oh nothing... y'know if Kai were here, he'd tease you like crazy."

"One thing I'm grateful for. At least he doesn't take his job seriously."

"But... since he isn't here... I'll have to take over for him." Cole smirked.

"Oh no..."

"Oh yeah."

Cole took a deep breath but I managed to push him through to the break room before he embarrassed me.

"Cole! Please don't ruin this for me! She may not even feel the same way but if she does, I don't want her to think I'm some crazed lunatic who falls in love with the first droid I see!"

"Soo... you don't want her to think that you liked her immediately?" Cole asked

"Yes. Wait. No. I- UGGGHH!!!!"

"Hmm.... sounds to me like you could use some flirting advice."

"I don't need flirting advice Cole!"

"Well then, what are you gonna do?"

"Probably make a fool out of myself attempting to ask her out so instead, I'll just act like how I normally would around a customer."

"Fine. But don't expect to get a girlfriend that way!" Cole shouted after Zane as he went to go and give Pixal and Nya their food.

No POV:

So, over the next few weeks, a Pixal stuck to her plan and went to the cafe almost everyday. She made sure to take either Nya or Skylor with her so it wouldn't be weird.

But something that was weird was that every time she went, ZANE was the one who was serving her!!

She obviously didn't mind this but it was a bit strange. Well the reason this happened is because when Kai came back the next day, Cole immediately told him about Zanes crush so whenever she comes in, both make sure that Zane is the one to serve her.

Lucky, every time she went, Nya or Skylor always agreed to go with her. But she dreaded to think what she would do if neither Skylor or Nya could come with her.

"Sorry Pix, I've got a date with Jay this afternoon." Nya said

"Oh please Nya! Skylor's tending to the noodle shop and I can't go on my own!!"

"I don't see why not. I think it's pretty clear he has feelings for you back."

"Please Nya!! Even if I could go, I'd make a fool of myself!!!"

"I can't cancel on Jay! Sorry Pixal. You're on your own this time..."

Pixal did consider just not going but she hadn't been for two days and she really wanted to see Zane again. So she got her stuff and just went on her own.

When she got there, she went to a table and sat down. Eventually, one of the employees went over but surprisingly it wasn't Zane. It was Kai!

"Hi Pix, I guess you just want a tea like usual?" He asked

"Yeah... Umm.... do you know where Zane is?"

"Oh, he's off sick today. He said he was pretty contagious. Didn't want to get anyone sick." Kai said

"But any virus he could catch would not affect the human body." Pixal said

"Yeah... he said he didn't want to get you sick. But he should be back tomorrow."

"Me? He didn't want to get... me sick?" Pixal asked

"That's what he told me." Kai said. "If you want my opinion, I think he likes you."

"God, your as bad as your sister." Pixal muttered. "Can you give me his address? I want to make sure he's okay."

"Y'know... usually I wouldn't. But, you ARE and friend of my girlfriend so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt." Kai said, giving her a piece of paper.

"Thanks Kai. This means a lot." She said, getting up and leaving the café.

Pixal's POV:

I went to the address that Kai had given me and found myself outside of a small group of flats.

I went into the one that was Zane's building took the elevator up to the third floor. I walked along the corridor till I got to room twelve and I knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" I heard from inside

"It's Pixal I came to check if you're-"

"DONT COME IN! I'm highly contagious!" He said quickly.

"But I just wanted to-"

"Please Pixal. I don't want to put you through this."

He did sound really sick. I guess it was sweet of him to care this much about my health but I really wish I could at least see him.

"Okay well... I hope you get well soon."

"I will. And thank you for coming to check on me."

"No problem..." I sighed.

I turned to leave but before I did, I left a tub of soup in a bag by the door and quickly walked away.

Zane's POV:

Once I was sure she was gone, I opened my door and let out a sigh. Just think, the most beautiful, sweet, kind girl I had ever met was just outside my room, and I couldn't let her in. All because of this stupid illness!

I was about to close the door again but them a little brown paper bag caught my eye. I picked it up and took it into my apartment. I reached inside it and found a little tub of homemade soup inside.

I got a spoon and tried a bit of it. It was really good!

"I can't believe she made this for me..." I said to myself.

I really wanted to text her or call her so I could thank her but I didn't have her number! Skylor probably does and Kai has Skylor's number but it wouldn't be worth explaining to Kai why I wanted him to ask his girlfriend for her friends number when I can just see her tomorrow. I don't even know what I would say!

I guess I'll just get some sleep soon and hope that she'll be there tomorrow.

~~next day~~

No POV:

The next day when Pixal went back to the cafe, she had both Nya and Skylor with her for once. They walked in and went over to their normal table but Pixal felt someone tap her on the shoulder.

She turned around and smiled as she saw it was Zane.

"H-hey Um. T-this is yours." He said, handing her the now empty plastic container.

"Oh, thanks." She said. There was a moment of silence between the two. Zane desperately tried to think of some sort of conversation starter that would lead o to him asking her on a date but nothing came to mind.

"Well... I'm glad you're feeling better."

"Y-yeah. So am I..."

Then they just kinda went in their separate ways.

"Hey buddy! You okay? You've got your calculating face on." Cole said

Zane remained silent. He started pacing around the kitchen which worried Kai and Cole.

"Hey, Umm... you okay Zane?"

"Cole, do you have a pen?"

"Umm, yeah sure." Cole said, handing him the pen.

Zane took its and started writing something on a napkin.

"Dude, what are you doing?" Kai asked

"Attempting to ask our Pixal before I chicken out." Zane responded. He finished writing and put the napkin under Pixal's tea.

Pixal's POV:

"So you just went round to his home and gave him soup??" Skylor asked

"Well, yes. He wouldn't let me in incase he got me sick. I just hope he liked it..."

"He's coming!" Nya whispered.

"Here's your cupcake Nya, coffee for Skylor and Tea for Pixal." Zane said.

"Thank you Zane." I said. He smiled at me which made me blush ever so slightly. Zane left and I took a sip of my still hot tea.

"Hey, what's that?" Skylor asked, pointing to my napkin. I looked down and almost spat out my tea.

There was a note from Zane.

Would you be interested in going on a date with me this weekend?? ;)

082562 951830

I gasped and turned to face Zane. I smiled at him and he smiled back. Then I swear I saw him wink at me. I felt my cheeks become all flustered.

"Sooo.... you gonna go on this date then?" Skylor asked

"Hold on girls, I have to go do something." I said, getting up from my chair and walking over to Zane.

"Hey Zane?" I asked. He turned around and I quickly grabbed his hands and kissed him. It's took a while but I guess he eventually got over the shock and kissed me back.

God the feeling was just amazing! The slow but sweet movements, the way he pulled me closer... and of course the fact that it was him who was kissing me.

We slowly pulled away and looked deep into eachother's eyes.

"So I guess I'll see you this weekend?" He asked

"You can count on it." I smiled kissing him again.

I let him go back to his work and I went back to my table.

No POV:

"Sooo.... how was your first kiss?" Skylor asked

"Oh it was AMAZING! I just can't wait for our date this weekend."

"Yeah, you're lucky that there's no one else here. Otherwise you probably would have gotten him fired!" Nya said

"Hahaaa..... that would not have been good..." Pixal said awkwardly.

"So Zane, when's the wedding?" Cole asked with a smirk.

"WeAren'tEngagedWeAreJustGoingOnADateGetOffMyBack." Zane said quickly with a blush very noticeably on his face.
