My POV:
After I said my goodbye to Midnight, I rushed inside and up to my room. My heart was racing as I thought about what he said. "He said my name was pretty! No one's ever said that!" What was this feeling I had? I had never felt it before, it was weird. I decided to paint something on my esle since I usually couldn't sleep without it. After I had a quick dinner, I changed into my painting cloths. (White t-shirt with black booty shorts) I didn't really know what to paint so I let my paintbrush decided. I first painted everything black, then added small amounts of color. I didn't get too far into adding color before I heard a thump outside my window. I went over, opened the window, and looked out, but nothing was there. I looked down and saw...a drop of blood? "How did that get there?" I wondered. But I shrugged it off and closed my window.

Midnight's POV:
HOLY SHIT that was close! I was making my way back to the base with nothing but Macrafta on my mind and thought, "Well, one more look wouldn't hurt anyone!" So I made my way back to her building. It took me a little while to find her, but when I did, I wasn't expecting what I saw. I peeked through her window and saw her painting. She was cute enough as is, but she was wearing a white t-shirt and black booty shorts. And she was covered in paint spots, which added to her cuteness. I felt my face get warm and something trickled down my face, I soon reasized I was getting a nosebleed. A single drop of blood hit the windowsill and I bolted while making a little too much noise. I looked down from the roof and saw her peeking out the window. She must have seen the blood drop because she stared down confused for a good minute before shrugging and closing the window. I stood there, nosebleed and all, processing what I just saw. She looked so cute like that! "No!" I thought. "You're in the Foot Clan! You need to focus on that!" But she kept coming back to my train of thought. "What is this I'm feeling?" I asked myself. I had never felt that way about anyone else, it was a weird feeling to have. Was I.....? No.....can I? "Am....am I in love?" I asked myself.

My POV:
After closing my window, I realized that it was time for me to go to bed. I went to the bathroom and cleaned the paint off myself and headed back to my room, but when I saw my painting, I stopped DEAD in my tracks.  You're probably thinking, "Oh, you just added a little color over a black background! You were probably painting a laser tag arena of some sort. Or one of those weird splotted paintings that are so popular!" Well, that's not what this was because, the only colors I added were white and bright, light blue. And some of you may also be thinking, "Blue and White? What's the big deal?" The big deal was the fact that I used these colors to make two eyes on the black background; two bright, blue eyes. I looked at this and my face went warm. But I quickly stopped and face palmed, "What the HECK Macrafta?!" I scolded myself. "Get your head out of the clouds! He's a ninja! He probably has better things to worry about than a stubborn 15 year old!" If you are questioning how I know he's a ninja, I found out by looking at his fighting style. I continued to stare at the painting until I was snapped back into attention by a thump on a nearby wall sounded. "Crazy neighbors." I muttered and headed to my room. I changed into my pajamas and was about to climb into bed before I heard my door open. I knew who it was, but I still check, "Amy?" I called out. "Relax, it's me sis." She replied and I walked into the hallway. Amy was hanging up her coat, her blond hair was filled with flour and her teal eyes were tired. "How was work?" I asked, "The same as always." She responded. "You?" "Hectic." I answered. "Ah well, we all have those days." She said with a slight smile which I returned. "Anyways, I gotta go take a shower before getting to bed." She said as she made her way to the bathroom. "Ok, and there's some dinner left in the fridge!" I responded before closing my door. I flopped down on my bed and closed my eyes; eventually falling asleep.

Midnight's POV:
I was sitting in my quarters putting yet another tissue into my bloody nose. "One more look wouldn't hurt! Yeah right! Good going Midnight!" I muttered to myself. There was a knock on my door and I quickly tossed all the tissues away before answering. There was a Foot soldier standing there, "Yes?" I asked slightly annoyed. "A letter from Mistress Karai." He responded while holding up a note. "Thank you." I said as I grabbed it, "Now, back to training!" He quickly left and I closed my door. I opened the letter and started reading it.

No one's POV:
Midnight,
I hope you're keeping the Foot in place. We've been looking but still can't find what we're looking for. So you're going to have to lead the Foot Clan for a little while longer. I trust you can handle that.
                                            -Karai

Midnight's POV:
I sighed, "How much longer do I have to be in charge?" I wondered. "And what is Karai looking for?" I didn't get to question this for long because the Foot soldier came busting in. "Sir! We're under attack!" "What?!" I yelled, "By who?!" "We don't know, but they're in the supplies chamber!" He responded. I quickly jumped up, "Assemble all the troops, we're attacking back." I said as I grabbed my weapon. I followed the Foot soldier until we came to the supplies chamber. All the soldiers were on the ground unconscious and standing in the middle of them were the three individuals I wanted to see least. They hadn't noticed that I had come in so I used this to my advantage. I quickly threw my chains and tied them together and pulled them to the ground. They looked up at me as I emerged from the shadows and their eyes grew wide. "No......" "It can't be!" "Mikey....." I looked at them with no an evil smile. "I'm not Mikey anymore....I'm Midnight now...........brothers."
