Guess who's finally baaaaack! It's me. Totally me. I'm here to bring you even more oneshots based around the relationships of the Ninjago characters! By the way, I had no idea triquel was an actual word, but apparently it is.

For our first oneshot, have some friendly bonding stuff between the Ninja! Quick note: this takes place after the season 4 finale.

Sensei Wu met the eyes of each of the Ninja, making sure they were all paying attention to his words. "Now remember what we talked about on our way here, everyone. Your bedrooms on the Destiny's Bounty have yet to be completed, so while Misako, Nya, and I go back to the Samurai Cave to work on them, you'll be staying here."

Kai looked up at the enormous building in front of them, raising his eyebrows. "The Ninjago City Hotel," he said. "What, you can't trust us to help build our own rooms?"

"I trust you five to behave yourselves here for at least one night," he replied sternly. "And I'm sure you know what that means..."

"Don't completely trash the room," said Cole.

"No purchasing illegal substances," added Zane.

"And...?"

They all groaned in unison. "Under no circumstances should the room's phone be used, especially not to call for room service."

Lloyd flashed him a grin. "Don't worry, Sensei. We won't get into any trouble while we're here."

Jay nodded in agreement. "Seriously, Sensei, when have you ever known us to not listen to your advice?"

Wu didn't reply, and he merely frowned at the redhead. "I have already checked you in, so you can head up to your room now. You're on the second floor in room 203. I will be back tomorrow morning at nine o'clock sharp. I do not expect any complaints from hotel staff or from any other visitors. Am I clear?"

"Yes, Sensei."

"Good. I suppose I will see you all tomorrow, then."

He smiled at them, handing each ninja a room key before turning around and hopping back onto the Bounty, waving at the Ninja as it lifted off. The five of them lifted their bags onto the nearest luggage cart before heading into the lobby.

"So, does anyone know what our room's like?" Jay asked.

Cole's eyebrows knit together in thought. "I think Sensei said we have one queen-sized bed and a pullout couch. So we're all gonna have to share."

"I call dibs on the pullout couch," Kai said as he pushed the cart into the elevator.

"Alright, well, that's one problem solved." Cole pressed the button for the second floor. "So Zane and I can probably take the bed if that's okay... Lloyd and Jay, you guys want the bed or the pullout couch with Kai?"

"First off, who in their right mind would ever want to sleep on the pullout couch?" demanded Jay, raising an eyebrow at Kai. "The mattress is always thin and too springy, you get maybe one pillow with it if you're lucky, and it's smaller than the actual bed."

"I'm gonna guess you want the bed then. So I guess that means you'll be sleeping on the pullout couch with Kai, Lloyd. Is that okay with you?"

Lloyd shrugged. "Yeah. It didn't really matter where I slept tonight." The group fell quiet for a while, not having much else to discuss before they got to their room. Once the elevator doors opened, Lloyd took note of the mischievous smirks on the others' faces, the way they exchanged looks with each other that could only mean trouble. Lloyd took a deep breath through his nose before he spoke.

"Are we actually going to listen to Wu's advice?"

Cole smirked at him, wiggling his eyebrows. "Well, where would the fun in that be?"

~o~o~o~o~

"Alright, Kai and Jay can take the luggage cart back down to the lobby while we get everything sorted out in here," Cole said, already checking the small closet for extra pillows and blankets. Kai and Jay nodded, throwing their own bags inside before wheeling the cart into the hallway and shutting the door behind them.

"Let me go first," Kai insisted, jumping onto the cart with both hands gripping the poles on both sides.

"Ugh, fine, but I get to go before we go to the lobby."

Jay pulled the cart backwards to one end of the hallway, before going into a sprint and pushing it forward again. He soon let go, leaving Kai cheering as he was sent flying down the hallway. The cart slammed into the wall, and he jumped off to wait for Jay, a wide grin on his face.

"Okay, my turn now." Jay crouched down on the cart, holding onto one of the sides with one hand and giving Kai a thumbs-up with the other. The brunet smirked, pushing off the wall before sprinting to build up more speed. He underestimated how fast Jay was going, however, as the cart began going faster than he could push, and was sent crashing into the wall at the other end of the hallway.

Kai gulped as he ran up to Jay, who stumbled off the cart and turned to glance at the wall, a nervous look in his eyes. "Uh... Is everything okay? You're not hurt or anything?" he asked.

"Oh, I'm fine," Jay replied. "But the wall isn't." He pointed at the rather large indents the sides of the cart made in the wall, and Kai almost thought he could see a small crack in one. "Kai, you shouldn't have gone so fast, look what you did!"

"Hey, it's not my fault you weigh next to nothing," he retorted. "Anyway, all we have to do is just, uh..." He looked around, then spotted a small square table with a flowerpot in the corner, and pulled it over so the dents in the wall were just barely hidden. "There, see? No one will notice a thing!"

~o~o~o~o~

Cole pressed his finger to his lips in an attempt to quiet Lloyd's laughter, while Zane watched the pair with a confused look in his eyes. He handed the phone to Lloyd, who cleared his throat before the person on the other end of the line picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hello, dear!" Lloyd greeted, his voice at the highest pitch it could go. "I heard from a certain someone that you wanted to take me on a date! Well, I would be absolutely delighted to do that!" Lloyd held back a snort as the man on the other end spoke.

"Melanie? Is that you? You'd really want to go on a date?" he asked incredulously. "Well, sure! Where did you want to go?"

"I think I'd like to go to that one restaurant...on Thisisnotareal Street!"

"Awesome! I'll just- Wait, what?"

Lloyd quickly hung up, throwing his head back in a bout of laughter. "Man, you were right, Cole! Prank calling is pretty fun!"

"I do not understand," Zane said. "Will that man not be upset that the woman he is likely in love with did not call to request a date? I do not see the entertainment value in this."

Cole patted Zane on the shoulder. "Aw, don't worry. That's the fun of prank calling, Zane! Just the excitement of knowing that they have no idea who we are, and just messing with them in general, is all worth it." He pointed at the phone. "You wanna call anyone else, Lloyd?"

Lloyd looked out the window at the darkened sky, then shook his head. "I dunno. Sensei said he'd be around at nine in the morning, so it'd probably be better to turn in early so we have time to pack up."

"Fine, if you want to spoil the fun already," he sighed. "I'll go tell Jay and Kai." He got up off the bed and went into the separated part of the room, spotting the pair lying on the pullout couch, exhausted looks on both their faces. "What happened to you two?" he asked.

"Some lady heard us riding the luggage cart in the hallway earlier and decided now would be a good time to yell at us for a solid twenty minutes," Jay explained.

"And then she went on a tangent of how 'kids these days have no respect for anyone anymore' and other crap like that," Kai added. "At least she didn't find out about the hole in the wall."

Cole didn't even feel like asking how they managed to do that. Instead, he shook his head and said, "Well, it's pretty late now. Sensei's coming early tomorrow and we'll want to be ready to go when he arrives."

The brunet waved a hand as he slinked under the covers. "Yeah, yeah, don't worry. It's not that late, and I'm sure we'll get up early enough tomorrow."

~o~o~o~o~

"'We'll get up early enough tomorrow'! Yeah, sure, Kai." Jay tossed another bag to him, which was then loaded onto the cart. "Meanwhile, it's 8:55, we have five minutes to get out of this place, and some of us aren't even ready to go yet!"

"I'm almost done getting dressed, Jay! Gimme a break!" Cole yelled, peering out from the bathroom. "You're the one who took fifteen minutes to shower, and then another fifteen minutes to get dressed!"

Lloyd and Zane shouldered past Jay, throwing their own bags onto the cart. "We will take this down to the lobby to wait for Sensei," said Zane. "Meanwhile, the three of you should check and see if we have left anything behind."

Zane and Lloyd hastily pushed the cart down the hallway and to the elevator, frantically pushing the button to go down. Lloyd tapped his foot impatiently as they waited, a frown crossing his face when the elevator finally arrived, but while carrying at least eight people.

Once they finally got on, and down to the lobby, they slid their room keys onto the front desk, checked out of their room, and hurried outside to wait for Wu, who was just landing the Bounty as they exited.

"Good morning, Lloyd and Zane," he greeted once he was on the ground. "Where are the others? I asked for all of you to be outside at nine o'clock."

"Oh, they'll be arriving shortly," said Lloyd, giving a nervous smile. "And like I said, everything was under control! No trashing the room, no drugs, nothing out of the ordinary."

Wu eyed him curiously, wondering why he was rambling all of a sudden, before peering past him at Cole, Kai, and Jay, all three of them panting and red-faced.

"We're ready to go," Cole said, grabbing his bag off the luggage cart and hurrying onto the Bounty, with Jay and Kai following his actions, none of them daring to meet Wu's gaze. "Let's get ourselves out of here."

Wu raised an eyebrow at their behaviour, turning his gaze back to Lloyd and Zane. "What happened while I left you all here?"

Lloyd raised his hands. "Like I said, nothing out of the ordinary. They probably just want to see their new rooms." He and Zane grabbed their bags as well, and he called over his shoulder, "But we should probably go before any fans notice us!"

Though the Ninja believed they were being convincing enough, Wu didn't believe a word they said, but merely sighed and shook his head before following them on. He became even less convinced they actually listened to his advice when, as soon as the Bounty lifted off, the hotel manager came out, waving at them with a furious expression on his face.

Alright, hopefully this will be the longest oneshot, because I don't want the rest to be too long XD

Again, as with Oneshots Through The Heart and A Thousand Ways To Love, I have some rules about requests: no OCs or reader inserts, no incest, and no Self-CenteredShipping (because after all this time I still don't understand it). I'd also really appreciate it if you would be specific when requesting (scenarios, etc.)

Other than that, fire away! If you feel uncomfortable about requesting a pairing through reviews, just send a PM my way and I'll mark you as anonymous :)

And just so you're all aware, you are free to send in pairings featuring the new characters, so characters from seasons four AND five.

Stay tuned, you wonderful Ninjago fans!
