Wonderful Christmastime (working title)

by Soul Stealer 2K4

Sequel to "Christmas Wish" and "Merry Christmas Darling". The new body was a perfect replica of the one she lost when she was scrapped, and yet, there was something different about it. Droid technology had advanced since the Elemental Tournament, and Mr Borg told Zane that he'd commissioned some upgrades, but still there was something about it that Zane couldn't quite pin point...

1. Introduction IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

Dear Readers,

Thank you for your kind words and amazing patience. This fanfic has been written in its entirety, from start to finish.

Unlike "The Missing Brick", which is rooted in canonicity, this one is pure, unadulterated Pixane fluff and continues where "Merry Christmas Darling" leaves off. If it existed within the canon of the show, it would be just after the Day of the Departed special, as the ninja are based in the Airjitzu Temple now, but before the Hands of Time season as Pixal technically gets a body within that season anyway. It will start at a T rating but is likely to go up to M once a certain chapter is uploaded.

As before, I have a few notes:-

1. Prepare yourself for innuendo and in-your-face cuteness, as this is a guilty pleasure project which has been ongoing since October of last year..

2. Canonically speaking, Ninjago takes place in a universe which fuses Japanese and Chinese cultures and language. As my current knowledge is limited to Japanese culture (I've been there 3 times and have learned the language to a basic conversational level), you will find Japanese words and etiquettes detailed within. I'm not a weeaboo, I'm a Japanophile – there is a difference. I'm planning to do a Japanese degree at university next year and hope to become a translator.

3. There are some new characters, however, they are not self-inserts, neither are they perfect; they have their own faults, their own history and their own problems. I created them for the purpose of world building.

4. I want to reiterate that I have tried to keep canonical personality and speaking rhythms among the characters, but it may falter on occasion because of the fluff between Zane and Pixal.

5. There are some things that will be brought up in one chapter that will not be resolved until a later chapter, so please save your questions for the end of submission. If after reading the whole story, you see a plot hole or don't understand the logistics of something, don't hesitate to get in touch.

6. Lastly, bear in mind that I am British, so while I have made an effort to write in a way that Americans will understand as well (i.e. writing "paper towels" instead of "kitchen roll"), some British mannerisms, slang terms and idioms have slipped through because I couldn't find the American equivalent.

Thank you and I hope you enjoy my efforts.
