"So, I guess there aren't any ninjas, huh?" Leslie asked hopefully.

"Yeah I... Wait look at that ninja dude! Back on that painting!"

The two girls more closer and began scrutinizing the work of art.

"Emma, are you serious? That's not a dude. It's a girl. Look at the eyelashes."

"No. It's a dude. Can you see the unibrow?" she argued. At that, both girls burst into unstoppable peals of laughter until they heard Alice calling fro them in a panicked voice.

"Emma! Leslie! Come here, quick!" The girls rushed over at her command.

"Alice, tell Emma that the painting over there is a female ninja," joked Leslie.

"Yeah okay, whatever. Just look at this! It has Emma's name on it."

"You're kidding." argued Emma just now paying attention.

"Now it's my turn to say no way. Don't you think so Alice?"

"I agree. I mean you're not a ninja, you're just our friend, Emma!"

"No guys. I think it all fits. But just because I'm a ninja, it doesn't mean I am not your friend," pleaded Emma, "Guys please don't get angry at me."

"We won't," replied Alice and Leslie at the same time.
