Author's Note:

Jay has always been my favorite ninja, and I've always loved his personality. I've also wanted to know more about his backstory for a long time. Season 6 did shed a little bit of light on this but it was only a little bit. Jay's flashback in Season 9 also showed what Wu said to him when they first met, but I was always interested in seeing Jay's life before he was a ninja. Also, I feel like most of Jay's development stems from his relationship with Nya, and I love Jaya, but I feel like that's the only source of development for Jay. I would like to see Jay's character get more development without Nya, and that's why I made this story. It's about Jay's life right before he became a ninja.


It was a cold and stormy night that fell upon the Junk N Stuff junkyard. The clouds that closed in covered what would otherwise be a starry, dark blue night sky. Lightning crashed and thunder boomed inside the clouds, there was certainly a thunderstorm brewing. However, this thunderstorm was unique. Though it was fraught with thunder and lightning, not a single drop of rain fell from the sky. Some might even call it a "dry thunderstorm". Then, as if coming from the dry thunderstorm itself, a loud electric shock surged from inside the trailer in the junkyard.

"Don't hurt yourself Ed!" Edna yelled lovingly.

"Oh I'm fine Edna, takes more than a little shock to break these bones." Ed remarked as he cranked his wrench.

"Once I finish this heater, it won't be freezing inside the trailer anymore."

"I can't wait", said Edna, "It'll be nice to not have to wear mittens every night!"

Suddenly, a swift knock fell upon the door.

"Who could that be?" Edna asked confusedly.

"Maybe a late night customer?" Ed responded.

Edna walked over to the door and opened it.

"Sorry, but we're closed now..." she stopped talking and looked around.

There was no one at the door. Edna looked down only to find a baby wrapped in a blue silk blanket, which had the symbol of a lightning bolt on the front. He also had a key that was tied to a ribbon, which was wrapped around him. Edna picked up the baby and gazed at his face. He wasn't crying, but smiling, and he even laughed.

"Ed! Come here!" yelled Edna.

Ed walked over to the door.

"Who's the customer Edn... Oh my golly goodness."

"Isn't he beautiful Ed?" Edna said softly.

"He sure is, but don't you think we should look for his parents?" Ed responded.

"His parents left him at our doorstep Ed, there must have been a reason for that, I don't think they're coming back." Edna remarked.

"Well that blanket of his is as blue as a blue jay!" Ed said while chuckling.

"Jay! That's the perfect name!" shouted Edna.

"Jay Walker, heh, I hope that's not what he becomes!" Ed laughingly joked.

The baby chuckled as well.


So that was the prologue. What did you think? Don't worry, I have many more chapters planned. Chapter 1 should be out in 1-2 weeks.
