Chapter 5

The next morning Rocky, Colt and Tum Tum woke up early in the morning like they usually do for ninja training.

Rocky woke up extra early to check on Stephanie to see if she still was sleeping and looked comfortable.

He quickly got his ninja suit and climbed down the spiral staircase from the loft he and his brothers slept on. He could hear Colt trying to wake up Tum Tum.

He tip toes into the small living room grandpa had added onto the cabin and could see her spread across the couch, her long hair all over the place and she definitely looked like she had a good sleep and she was adorable in Rocky's eyes.

He smirked and then heard his grandpa moving around the cabin outside, which peeked his curiosity.

He went out the front door and all of a sudden a basket fell down with some balloons filled with water in them. There was about three.

Surprised, he managed to punch them all and he got completely wet from all of them.

Grandpa was hiding in the bushes laughing at his oldest grandson and was getting the next two baskets ready.

"Good dodging, Rocky!" Grandpa complimented.

"Thanks grandpa." Rocky smiles. He slips out of the way for grandpa to get ready to refill the baskets and use them on his younger brothers.

Rocky went around the corner and picked up one of the weapons his grandpa set up on the table for him and his brothers.

He decided to work with nun chucks. The rest of the morning the three boys practiced ninjitsu with their grandpa in the backyard as Stephanie continued to sleep.

She managed to wake up right before they came into the house to shower and get ready for breakfast.

Grandpa started cooking away and once Stephanie got dressed she helped rocky set the table.

She realized she has was wearing the same outfit since last night and it was starting to smell.

She clears her throat to get Rocky's attention and he looks up in curiosity.

"Um, Rocky..." She said while they set up the table together.

"Yeah?"

"I hope you don't mind me asking, but is there anyway I can get a new outfit? This one is pretty batteries up and torn from yesterday, plus I slept in it. I hope it's okay.." Stephanie pointes out.

Rocky looks up at his friend and discovered that she was right. Her outfit was very wrinkled and over warn, plus she had a difficult day yesterday and it had been all torn up from when she fell in the woods.

Rocky thought about it and nodded.

"After breakfast we shall find you something." He answered back.

Breakfast was delicious and quick. Rocky and his brothers talked about their training that morning, explaining to Stephanie what they did while she was sleeping and Rocky of course, tried to show off to her.

Rocky then mentioned to grandpa that Stephanie didn't have anything fresh and new to wear since yesterday. He was wondering if they can go to town and pick out a few things for her.

Grandpa agreed but then he thought about it for a bit.

"I think I have some of Jessica's old clothes around here as well. Why not I let you guys look through those that she can wear and then I'll take you all out to the city for lunch in the afternoon and we can get her some new things." Grandpa explained.

Rocky and Stephanie smiled in agreement.

After breakfast Rocky, Colt, Tum Tum and Stephanie sat in the living room

To watch some tv while grandpa went to his room to look for his old boxes he had in his closet.

He found it hard to look through Jessica's old baby things. He hasn't looked through them in many, many years.

Rocky could tell Grandpa didn't want to look through her old belongings so he told him to go back to what he wanted to do and the kids would look through them together. Except Colt and Tum Tum.

Rocky gathered up all the clothes in the closet and took them out, placing them in a large pile on the floor in front of him and Stephanie.

He never knew how his mother dressed when she was little. They went through the clothes together and it turns out there was five outfits that could possibly fit Stephanie.

"What do you think of these? I know they are a little old fashion style but we gotta make it work until we can get you some new stuff." Rocky explains.

Stephanie smiles as she looks through the pile, picking out a few different things. Sure the clothing was very retro, but it could work.

She found a very bright , long sleeved v neck shirt that was pink polka dots and a bright blue background. There was also a short white flowy skirt.

"This should work."

Stephanie said. She smiles and held out the items she picked and Rocky looks them over, thinking if he liked them or not.

"Not bad." He said. She took off to the bathroom after thanking Rocky and grandpa again and slipped on the outfit. When she came out everyone's mouth dropped open, Rocky's especially.

They had only seen Stephanie in tattered, dirty rags that were ripped all over the place so when they saw her in something nice, they were shocked at her beauty.

Colt whistles at her and Rocky flicked his brother on the side of the head.

"Now I feel much better." Stephanie said taking a breathe of relief.

The rest of the day Rocky spent it with Stephanie after ninja training. They walked all around grandpas cabin outside and talked about everything. Stephanie really wanted to learn all about Rocky that she could.

Then when they were ready, grandpa took the four kids to the town to go shopping.

Rocky and Stephanie went shopping for clothes while Colt and Tum Tum refused to look at the department store and went straight to the small arcade in town and grandpa went to get groceries.

Since Stephanie didn't have any money, rocky used some of his allowance he had saved up during the summer to get a few things for her.

Rocky and Stephanie had a blast trying on different clothing items and there were several times where people had thought they were an adorable couple, which of course made them both blush and giggle at each other.

When they were finally finished and paid for all their items, they met up with Colt and Tum Tum at the arcade.

"Hey Stephanie, we have a little bit before lunch can I play a few racing games before we eat?" Rocky asked. He had a bit of spare change left to spend on some games.

Stephanie agreed and seven said she would watch him play. She doesn't remember much of her past but she sure feels like she has never been at an arcade before. There were kids her age, everywhere.

It was quite exciting for her. Lights and sounds and kids laughter and excited screams filled the air and the retro sounds of the games making either "winner" or "loser" sounds all over the place.

Rocky could tell that Stephanie was quite fascinated with the place. He smiled at her and took a few of his tokens out from his pocket.

He handed half of his tokens to her and she beamed brightly.

"Here, why not try a few games?" He questioned with a bright, excited smile.

"Go look around for one you like, I'll be right here if you need me."

Stephanie smiles and thankfully takes the coins from Rocky's palms.

"Thanks, Rocky." She said happily.

Rocky nodded and keeps an eye on his new friend as she slowly gazed around the place, her mouth wide open in shock and admiration.

"Wow, this place is incredible!" She whispers to herself.
