A/N: Hey readers! This is my first-ish fanfic . . . The reason I say ish is because I had this other one, but I only did one chapter and didn't really like it. But I really like this one and already have two chapter, and still working on it. So if you like it, fav/follow/review. Love you guys, Peace.
Spring POV
I knew this was the end. I turned a corner and went over the jump. The finish line was just ahead. I was so close! And . . . "Last place!" I cried, slumping into the sofa, letting go of my Nintendo DS. "Mario Kart is so hard!"
"It is so not," Fiona countered, from the kitchen.
I could barely see her from my place, but I knew she was baking something. I stood up and walked over to her, peering into the bowl of flour. "So, whatcha makin' sis?"
"Cupcakes. Vanilla cupcakes," Fiona replied, rubbing her floury hands on my hoodie. I smacked her, but knew it was all in good fun.
I looked up at my older sister. She was really pretty; jet black hair and emerald green eyes. She thinks she's ugly though, she's always wearing makeup and long dresses and skirts. Today she was wearing a white tanktop with a long pink skirt. She had an apron with Cooking Mama on it to complete her look.
I look exactly like her; from head to toe. Except I'm shorter and my eyes are a slightly darker shade of green. I always wear hoodies that are, like, ten sizes too big, with leggings and my favourite comfy boots.
People say we look exactly like our father, but we've never met him. We've gone from foster parent to foster parent until finally we landed with an old couple, and they died last year. The people at the foster home decided Fiona was old enough to take care of me, so we got put in an apartment, which is being paid for by the foster home, until Fiona gets out of high school. She only has one year left and is kinda stressed. She always bakes when she's stressed.
"Spring," Fiona broke the silence. "Tonight my friends are going to come over to help me babysit you, okay?"
"You can't really call it babysitting, since you do it everyday," I pointed out. Fiona shrugged it off and continued baking.
A few minutes later, the intercom buzzed. "Hello?" A voice crackled. "Two babysitters at the ready!"
I looked over at Fiona, who nodded. "I'll be down in a second!" I told them, and flung open our apartment door, bounding towards the elevator. I saw it was open and motioned for the man inside to hold it for me. He nodded, keeping the door open as I hopped inside.
I studied his features. A long white beard, a Chinese like hat, a walking stick, and a sort of kimono, I think it's called. But I'm only thirteen, so don't quote me on that. I exited on ground level, waving to the old man (at least I assume he was old, with his beard and all) and I ran up to the front doors.
Pulling it open, two girls stepped inside. One had pretty blonde hair, hazel eyes and a funny smile. The other had short brown hair (which was currently very wet), blue eyes and a kind smile. I lead them upstairs, and tried to make conversation. "So, how are you guys?"
"I'm fine, thanks Spring," the brunette smiled. "I just came back from a swim."
"I auditioned for a musical," the other sighed. "But I didn't get the part. They offered me a part as a tree. Seriously, a tree?! Trees don't sing! Thus, I declined." She gave a dramatic breath. "Okay, rant over."
"Such a drama queen, Lyric," the brunette scoffed.
"Tallulah, I was just kidding! Sheesh!" Lyric replied, even more dramatically.
I laughed as we entered the apartment. Fiona peered out from the kitchen and smiled. She embraced her friends and continued to bake. Lyric flopped onto the couch, immediately picking up the TV remote. "What do ya wanna do, squirt?" She asked flipping through TV channels. She stopped on Teletoon, seemingly interested in the show that was on. Tallulah and I sat beside her, and got totally hooked. It was a Lego series called Lego Ninjago. It was about four boys who become ninjas to defeat Lord Garmadon.
"I wish we could go to Ninjago!" I exclaimed. Suddenly, I heard the sound of shattering glass and smoke filled the room.
Fiona POV
What happened? One second I'm making cupcakes, the next the room is filled with smoke and we disappear from existence. Instead of our cramped apartment, we're in a pool of water. Rice farm, I think, but don't quote me on that. I slapped myself, hoping this was a bad dream. It wasn't. To make matters worse, I realized my hands weren't normal anymore. I let out an ear piercing shriek. "We're made of Lego!" My friends stared at me, then themselves, then me again, and the three of them also let out screams. I'm sure we attracted the attention of all the farmers in the area.
"Okay, what the heck happened?!" Tallulah asked, staring at herself.
"IT WAS MAGIC!" Spring cried, obviously scared.
"It was me." We turned to see an old man, pouring a cup of tea for himself. We stared at him in silence as he took a long drink then stood up. "I shall explain in due time. But for now, I must find my next student. Excuse me." We watched in silence as he walked up a hill towards a blacksmith's shop. What just happened?
"What's that?" Lyric asked, staring off into space. We followed her gaze. Dark clouds were filling the horizon and soon covered the whole sky. "Wait!" Lyric realized. "This is just like Ninjago!" She turned to Spring. "Remember? When the skeletons-"
Suddenly, the air was filled with the noises of cars being revved up. An army of skeletons appeared over the hill, each in vehicles. "What sort of show were you guys watching?!" I asked, freaking out.
"ATTACK!" The lead skeleton cried, and all the vehicles advanced forward, towards the blacksmith shop. Everyone began running scared, but not us. We were frozen in fear.
Finally, I snapped out of it. "Come on, let's go up there and see what's going on," I demanded, pointing to the shop. The others shrugged and we ran up the hill, and hid behind a few rocks. A boy and girl were fighting off some skeletons. We watched as the boy was disarmed by the skeleton leader. It seemed to be the end for him, until a gold tornado knocked the skeleton over. Spinning to a stop, we saw that the tornado was actually the old man from earlier!
"Sensei Wu," the skeleton growled. "Your spinjitzu looks rusty!"
"Nothing like bone to sharpen its edge, Samukai!" Sensei Wu replied, stomping his staff on the ground. Samukai gave an evil laugh and threw his daggers at the old man. Sensei Wu dodged and the daggers hit the water tower behind him. Then I realized the skeleton's goal. The water tower was going to fall on top of that boy! I wanted to jump out and do something, but there was nothing I could do. Instead, Sensei Wu yelled, "NINJA GO!" and was covered in a whirlwind of gold. He spun to the boy's rescue.
"Lord Garmadon says take the girl!" Samukai had snuck away while Sensei Wu was busy, and was now back on his truck. A bony claw was released and grabbed the girl from behind. She was pulled back onto the truck.
"Nya!" The boy yelled. I assumed that was the girl's name. "They took Nya!"
"I told you," Sensei Wu said, tapping the boy on the head with his staff. "Useless."
The boy turned to the old man. "You could've done something! You could've used your twistizu or your-"
"Spinjitzu," the old man cut him off. "You have the fire inside. I will train you to harness it, use it, become a spinjitzu master. If you want to get your sister back, you must control the fire that burns inside. Only when you become a spinjitzu master, will you be ready to face Lord Garmadon and rescue your sister." He turned to our hiding spot. "Girls, come out." Aww, and I thought no one saw us.
We climbed out of our hiding spot. Sensei asked us to introduce ourselves. I decided to go first. "I'm Fiona Pearson. I'm eighteen and I love baking and gardening."
"I'm Spring Pearson!" Spring exclaimed, bouncing up and down. "I'm thirteen and I'm really hyper and stuff!"
"Lyric Turner. I'm seventeen. I love to sing and dance." Lyric was really chill, as always.
Tallulah smiled at the boy and Sensei Wu. "Hi! I'm Tallulah Denver! I'm seventeen and I love swimming!"
"Why are you smiling so much?" The boy asked, annoyedly.
"I just like to smile. Smiling's my favourite!" Tallulah quoted, still smiling.
The boy rolled his eyes. "Well, I'm Kai Flamey. I'm seventeen and my sister was just kidnapped, so you shouldn't be smiling!" Lyric looked irritated. I don't think she likes him much. Can't really blame her though.
"Wait!" Spring cried. "You said you would explain how you got us here!"
"I used this." Sensei Wu showed us a jar of tea labeled, 'Traveler's Tea.' "It will let me travel in between dimensions. Now come! You must train. To be ninjas!" I looked at the others and shrugged. It was better than being lost in another dimension.
