Not everyone can say their father does important things for the world. Most parents just sit in a cubicle, and take calls while on their computer. But at least those adults make time for their children.
Lloyd checked his phone, which had buzzed only moments ago. Most likely a text from his father.
Sorry Bud, I wont be home like I promised. We'll have to watch the movie another time.
It was followed by:
Make sure your homework is completed.
Setting his phone down, Lloyd sighed. His father, Montgomery Garmadon, nicknamed Lord Garmadon by himself, was never around. His mother had left when he was only three, and all he knew was her name, Misako. Grabbing a soda that he had placed on the coffee table, he opened it, wondering how he had gotten his hopes up yet again.
His father wasn't horrible, or untrustworthy. But he was controlling at times, and put a lot of pressure on the young boy. Not to mention, was never there for him. Very different from his younger brother, Lloyd's uncle, Wu.
Just thinking about his uncle made Lloyd's heart ache. He had always been there, and had such more of an interesting life then his father. Lloyd knew about Wu's childhood, and a bit about his fathers from Wu's stories. His uncle used to be a Breakdancer, which was something Lloyd was interested in doing, but his father would never approve. His father and him were never that close. But Lloyd adored his uncle, and used to help out his Tea Shop, before workers were hired.
Frowning slightly, Lloyd picked up is phone again, checking the time.
10:23 pm
He could go visit his uncle for a bit, right? It was a Friday night, so his father most likely wouldn't be home until after midnight. And it was only a couple blocks away...
Abandoning the couch, he grabbed a light coat, and ran out the door. Grabbing his bike from the garage, he hopped on it, peddling furiously. He weaved throughout the city, maybe a few adults recognizing him, and shouting to him, saying he shouldn't be out this late. But they would never contact his father, Lloyd knew this, nobody ever disturbed Lord Garmadon while he worked. And if Lloyd was riding on, or in, anything but his fathers car, Garmadon was working.
He arrived at the Tea Shop, out of breath, but not too sweaty. School had just started that Monday, and slowly, the weather was beginning to drop. At the current time of the year it was never hot or cold, but sadly the cold was creeping in.
He opened the door to find a male, probably a year or so older then him, standing at the counter, on his phone. He was tall, and muscular. His skin was tan, he had amber eyes, and medium brown hair, which was spiked up with hair gel. Along with a scar on the left side of his face, across his eyebrow and eye, Lloyd didn't want to know where it came from.
The older boy looked up, smiling cockily. "Hey. Whatcha need?"
A feminine voice projected from the other side of the room. "Kai! Remember what Mr. Wu said! You have to do the greeting!" Stacking boxes of herbs on some empty shelves, was a young woman. Like 'Kai', she had amber eyes, and tan skin, though her complexion was a bit darker. She had black hair in a bob cut, and was muscular to a female extent.
"But it's stupid, Nya!" Kai complained, "we already have to wear this stupid outfits!" He gestured to a tea related uniform they were wearing, "why do we have to say that too!?"
Nya rolled her eyes, placing the boxes down, turning to Lloyd. She gave him a kind smile. "Sorry about my brother, it's almost closing time, and he just wants to go home. But what can we get you?"
Lloyd smiled softly. He had never met his uncle's workers, but they seemed nice. "I'm actually here to see your boss... Not buy anything."
The doors to the back suddenly burst open, and there stood another guy, who was around the same age of the two others. He had dark skin, and dark hair, in between black and brown, along with purple eyes. Like Kai he was muscular, but much taller. "WAIT! Are you here for employment!? Because Mr. Wu said he wouldn't hire anyone after Jay!"
There was a "HEY", from the back room, along with a distant chuckle. Kai snorted, while Nya glared and the taller boy.
Lloyd just shook his head, grinning even more then he had before. His uncle had told him there was five workers, and by the looks of it, slight chaos was easy stirred. "Um, no. I'm not here for employment. Wu is my uncle, and I just wanted to visit."
"This late?" Kai asked.
Lloyd nodded, "personal reasons."
"I assumed that, and we can talk about it in a moment," heads turned, an older man was standing in the doorway, Wu. He nodded in the direction of his employees, "Nya, Kai, lock up the cabinets. Cole, get Jay and Zane. The five of you can leave now, I'll close the shop early." The three nodded, heading to go do their jobs. "Now, my nephew, what has your father done now?"
Yo. So, this is the Ninjago Breakdance Au! Once again I'll mention it was created by askkaiflame on Tumblr, and I was given permission to write it. The chapters may start out slow, and it's possible I might not get to post as much as I hope (one reason being how complicated this website is D:), but it will get more interesting, and you'll see some more characters, and a few Oc's too! But don't worry, they wont be shipped with any canon characters.
Forgive me for any errors or mistakes, I kinda rushed into this, I was exited to write it.
