A little one-shot where Zane asks Pixal out on a date (and the date, since I'm not an evil person)

Set a bit after Season 12!

"But what if she says no!" Zane frets, the normally calm nindroid was pacing around as an exasperated Jay sighed for at least the hundredth time in the hour.

"She's going to say yes! Now take the damn chocolates, and ask her out on the Cherry Blossom Kimono Festival that's today! We're all going to, so if she does say no, you can hang out with Morro or something!" Jay shoves the chocolates at Zane, who immediately fell over due to the force that was being used.

"Alright then, if you say so," Zane says, looking at the chocolates. He walks out of the room, nervously picking at his gi. What if she says no? What if?

"Since when do you look nervous?" A voice asks.

"Gahh!" Zane dropped the chocolates and fell down. He quickly checked the wellbeing of them. 20 chocolates, none were missing and all are still intact! Perfect.

"I said, since when did you look nervous." It came from the vents.

"Kaylee? How are you there?" Zane asks his nonbiological sister.

"The vents are my territory. So I'm asking you, why do you look so nervous?" She repeats, her hair hanging upside down precariously.

"Uh, I'm going to ask Pixal to the Cherry Blossom Kimono Festival today and I am not sure if she'll say yes," Zane replies.

"I'll do my part as the captain of the Pixane ship." She salutes. "Also, if you see anyone, don't tell them I'm in the vents. Or else. I don't wanna wear a kimono." She pops back in the vents and closes the hatch.

"Hey, Zane why are you on the ground?" Nya asks.

"I tripped." Zane lied.

"Huh. Okay then. Well if you see Kaylee, tell her to get in my room, so we get her in her kimono." Nya picks at her kimono. It was blue, with river-like squiggles, no doubt for the element of water.

"Uh, do you know where Pixal is?" Zane asks.

"Yeah, she's training right now since her kimono doesn't arrive until about an hour later, which is an hour before the Festival. Bye!" Nya walks away. 

"Alright then." Zane walks out to Pixal training in the yard.

"Hello Zane, why are you holding chocolates in your hand?" The Samurai asks, tilting her head.

"I, uh, was wondering if you'd like to go with me to the Cherry Blossom Kimono Festival, on a date?" He asks.

"Sure, I would like to spend more time with you." She replies.

"Oh, um, here's some chocolates?" He hands the chocolates to Pixal, which she took it, and set it down on a bench.

"Thank you, no doubt it was Jay who gave you the chocolates?" She guesses.

"Yes, I um was hoping you'd say yes." Zane smiles.

"It is not a problem. I like spending time with you, as with the others." Pixal replies.

"Well, I guess I'll see you in the living room later then?" Zane offers.

"It's a deal." Pixal smiles, then noticing the new package quickly ran and picked it up, along with the chocolates. She walks back into the monastery, leaving a lovestruck nindroid behind. 

"Huh, so I didn't need to help." Kaylee's head poked out on a vent facing outside, shocking Zane yet again. "Not a word..." She slinks back.

3rd Person POV

"Where is Kaylee? For the last time, I swear if she ran away again, I will force her out!" Nya huffs, pacing around the room. 

"I mean, we can recruit the help of other people?" Skylor offers.

"Fine, Seliel, Skylor, you go and tell the guys, Sensei, and Misako. We have to find Kaylee in the next 20 minutes, or else she won't be able to get in her kimono!" Nya commands.

"Alright then." The two walk out of the room.

"Pixal, so I heard you got a date with a special nindroid? How do you feel?" Nya asks, setting down Kaylee's kimono.

"It's nice really, I think it's actually a hangout between friends though, I don't really know if Zane actually likes me or not," Pixal admits. Even though if Zane didn't like her, but she always did. 

"Alright, then I'll-" The sound of chickens clucking and people screaming interrupts Nya. "That's definitely Sensei's chicken, but why is there so much of them?" Nya wonders, racing out of the room.

"At last, I finally got you alone." Kaylee pops out from the vents, clutching the real Wu's chicken.

"How did you..." Pixal stutters. It wasn't normal for her to stutter, which was weird.

"I and Francis became friends, and he called some of his friends to distract the others. Right now it's Joey, Bob, Harold, George, Georgina, Joe, and Bobby outside." She pets Francis, as the chicken clucks contentedly.

"Okay then..." Pixal sometimes didn't know what was going on in Kaylee's head sometimes.

"You like-like Zane don't you?" She starts.

"What do you mean by like-like?" Pixal asks.

"When you love someone." She replies. 

"Well, then, I guess I do." She admits.

"Well, good for you. Zane also loves you, so after this date, I want to see the Pixane ship sail." She says, petting the chicken.

"There you are!" Nya sighs, covered in chicken feathers.

"NO NO NO!!! Francis cover me! You know where to go!" She lets go of Francis, who started turning blue as Pixal ran out of the door, and Kaylee retreats back in the vents. Nya follows suit, quickly nabbing Kaylee's kimono.

"So, we know where she is. She's in the vents." Nya pants.

"She named your chicken Francis," Pixal adds, looking at Wu.

"Why?" Cole asks.

"Morro, we need you to get her out of there," Skylor commands.

"Alright then." Morro starts making it windy, making Kaylee fall out of the vents and on the couch.

"NO! I had only 10 minutes!" She cries.

"You, young miss, are going to get in the kimono." Seliel snaps.

"Fine!" Kaylee snatches the kimono from Nya's hand, then retreated in the bathrooms.

"Does she really hate kimonos that much?" Lloyd asks.

"Yes." Sensei sighs. "Where's my chicken?" He asks.

"If you laugh I'm ending your whole career." Kaylee steps out of the bathroom.

"You look cute!" Kai offers.

"I. Look. Hideous." She growls.

"Calm down princess, it's not like anything bad is gonna happen." Lloyd jokes.

"Don't call me princess!" She snaps.

"Let's get in the car now?" Nya pushes the whole group along.

"So, where would you like to go?" Pixal asks.

"I'm not sure," Zane replies. "Where would you like to go?"

"I would like to see the candy art area," Pixal admits.

"Then let's go." Zane takes Pixal's hand and they set off to find the candy art stand.

Once they arrived though, there was quite a long line to see the candy art, but not much for the premade.

"Oh, that's a long line," Pixal says, sadly staring at the line.

"We can come back later if that's what you want?" Zane offers.

"Maybe. I mean, we could just buy the premade ones." Pixal says.

"Are you sure?" Zane asks.

"Positive," Pixal confirms.

"Alright then, but I'm paying." Zane and Pixal walk up to the stand, where they both got 2 butterflies. Zane quickly paid for them, and then the two set off.

"Where else do you want to go?" Zane asks.

"Maybe we can get some food and sit under a tree?" Pixal asks.

"Of course." Zane smiles, and they both walk to the food vendors, where they paid for their foods and bought a picnic blanket.

"How is the food?" Zane asks.

"It's great!" Pixal smiles, eating her fill on Zongzi or sticky rice dumpling. 

"That's good." Zane bites into one of zongzi and marvels at the immaculate taste.

Cherry blossoms were softly falling from the trees, littering the ground with little pink petals, filling the picnic area with a sweet aroma.

"This was a nice hangout." Pixal grins.

"Oh, uh, yes, yes it is." Zane's heart fell slightly, discouraged. What if Pixal didn't like him back?

"You seem a bit down, is it that you do not like my company?" Pixal asks.

"No, I was just thinking." Zane shrugs it off.

"Okay!" Pixal cleans up the picnic area. "Do you want to go to one of the stores outside of the park, if that will make you feel better?" Pixal asks.

"Sure." Zane helps Pixal, and then the two walks to a nearby bubble tea store (boba) 

"Can we get some bubble tea?" Pixal asks, her face lit up.

"Of course!" Zane says. "What would you like?"

"Brown sugar boba please!" The Samurai smiles.

"Alright then! I'll be back in a second, just wait for me." Zane walks into the store, while Pixal waited by a table, next to an alley.

"I bet there's a lot of scrap metal around here." A voice sounds from inside the dark alley.

"Who could that be?" Pixal mutters. She decides to creep in the alley, only to trip on a bottle, and land right in front of the Mechanic.

"Look at that." He sneered. "Borg's robot daughter. You're nothing but a piece of scrap metal that has no feelings." Pixal gulped.

"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Pixal quickly punched him and turned to run away, until a rope slung out a caught her.

"Check for weapons, next time sweetheart." The Mechanic laughed.

"Pixal? Where are you?" Zane's voice called out.

"Zane! Over here!" Pixal yelled.

"Ice!" The Mechanic was flung to the brick wall. He slumped down, unconscious. "Are you okay?" He asks, setting down the boba and helping Pixal out of the binds.

"Yeah. Thank you." Pixal smiles and hugs him. "Zane... I have a question."

"Yes?" Zane asks, facing her.

"Am I just scrap metal?" Pixal asks.

"No, you are much more than that. You are Pixal. And you are vital to me." Zane kisses Pixal, surprising her. The break apart, both blushing.

"I'm sorry if you didn't want that I-" Zane was cut off by a pair of lips on him.

"Does that answer your query?" Pixal asks, smirking.

"Yes. Yes, it does." Zane smiles and pulls Pixal in for another kiss, the boba and the Mechanic forgotten.

How do you like it? I think it was quite fluffy, and I hope you all liked it as much as Jaya :)
