Sitting alone at her desk in her tastefully appointed office on the top floor of City Hall, the mayor of Ninjago City looked out her window at the beautiful urban skyline, which was bathed in the golden hues of the setting sun.
Instead of enjoying the scenery, however, she was deep in thought.
She remembered that when she had first begun serving in the capacity of Mayor, she had a lot of fun and met a lot of nice citizens of Ninjago City. She enjoyed spending time with the ninja, who saved the metropolis time and time again from countless villains. And she had to admit that the heroes were very nice to look at, too, with their good looks and well toned muscles. Kai the fire ninja and Cole the earth ninja were especially easy on the eyes.
But over the past few weeks, her personal life outside the mayor's office somehow started to give her a sense of unhappiness. She couldn't really put her finger on why she felt this way, but she knew that she needed to change something.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, she came to the decision that she would take a leave of absence from her mayoral duties so she could spend the extra time figuring out a new direction for her personal life. She would leave her unfinished mayoral work on the desk, for she wanted to resume her projects when she returned to the mayor's office with a happier and more energized outlook.
Opening up her laptop, she began to draft the speech she would give to the citizens of Ninjago City in the morning...
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
My friends, this little tale is my way of letting you know that I'm going to take a break from Ninjago fan fiction, probably for the rest of the month of May, so I won't be updating my two current stories nor posting comments on your wonderful stories. I feel that I need to make some changes in my personal life, so I need to decide what those changes will be.
In the meantime, enjoy the next few weeks!
