ON WITH THE SHOW~!

...

"WHAT? YOU MEAN THOSE NINJAS TIED YOU UP THERE AND LEFT YOU? WHAT THE FRAK? WHAT THE MOTHERFLUFFING FRAK!" I grabbed the tiny boy up in my arms and squeezed him tightly, ignoring the slight whimpers of pain. "Don't you worry little man! I'll be your big sister and help you out! We'll rob every candy store from here to Ninjago City! I'LL BE YOUR RIGHT HAND MAN- ER, WOMAN. THEY WILL QUAKE IN FEEEEAAARRRRRRR."

"Uhhh... thank you?"

Okay, so I found this kid hanging from a pole... or roof. Or something.

I can't remember, but then again my memory sucks.

But this kid is so cute! He's trying so hard to be evil and IT'S THE DAMN CUTEST THING I'VE SEEN!

I set him down and fixed his clothes and hair with a small smile. "So, what's your name?"

"Lloyd Garmadon."

That should sound familiar...

Oh well. It's not like it's anything important.

I think.

Is it?

OH LOOK! A BUTTERFLY~! (A/N: There's a reason for this.)

"LET'S CHASE THAT BUTTERFLY LITTLE GUY!" I grabbed his hand and dragged him behind me, ignoring every protest spewed by the tiny Lord Garmadon.

Okay now I know that sounds familiar...

...

"What's your name? If you're gonna folow me around and be my evil right hand, should I know your name?" I blinked at Lloyd from over the small carton of food I had managed to procure at the signal of the little lord's rumbling stomach. I didn't have the heart to tell him that I actually bought it. But he sat there and ate it, being none the wiser to what I had done. "That's what the really evil lords do, right?"

"Hmmmmmmm... Fair enough- I mean... " I gave him a slightly panicked look. "Ahem, I mean if you want to learn my name then you- no that's not it... uhhhhhhh..."

"THERE'S THAT LITTLE THIEF! GET HIM!"

The skeleton garbed boy screeched softly in fear, startling me and making me drop my little tub of rice. "Lloyd? What the he- ARE THOSE THE NINJA THAT TIED YOU UP?"

He met my eyes and nodded, huddling closer. I glared daggers into those running- wait holy shit they're not after Lloyd. There was another thief running with what I presumed to be a bag of money, the ninja chasing him down and as I kept watching, they tackled him down and began dragging him back to Ninjago knows where. I wrapped an arm around the boy and kept watch until all four of the ninja were out of sight. I released him after that and gave him a concerned look. Lloyd had assumed the turtle position; his head tuckered down and shoulders raised up, his eyes darting everywhere. Blinking, I poked him on his head.

"They're gone now. It wasn't you they were after..."

"Wooo..."

"What did you steal?" I tilted my head as his blonde covered nutshell ducked and his hands got stuck in his pockets. His head jerked towards a shady alley and I blinked, setting my backpack down and walking over, to peek quickly over the corner and behold a long piece of wood with a bunch of scribble like carvings in the staff. A tiny ring was on the side with a feather charm colored with reds, yellows and oranges. This thing looked professionally made, if not at least a decade old. The wood was still really polished and it looked like it could be good for smacking the shit out of someone. I grabbed it and scurried back over, picking Lloyd up for the tightest hug ever (he said something about his ribs breaking under the pressure). "YOU ARE SUCH A SHINY PERSON! YOU STAY SHINY YOU! STAY SHINY! IMMA FOLLOW YOU TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH!"

I paused.

"Where did you steal it from?"

"Some abandoned temple."

"Oh you are just a treat." I ruffled his hair.
