A/N: I've been thinking about this little scene forever now so I decided to quit my procrastinating and to throw it down in writing no matter how ridiculous it is! Now who wants a pointless summery? Too late, I'm torturing you with one anyway XD Basically its just a squeeze of scenes in between the time of season three and the new season four coming soon!
It's been a few months since the Final Battle, and after settling in to their recently rebuilt dojo, our heroes are beginning to find themselves suffering from boredom.. While attempting to bring up ways to entertain themselves, Jay takes charge, and suggests only the most humorous of ideas involving pranks to pull on the former dark lord after he and Misako settle down for the night, only to find their slumber ruined by a simple phone call with an unrecognizable caller ID..
Nya sighed in fatigue and tapped her manicured fingers upon the foggy glass of the large window. She directed her attention to the wicked storm pouring buckets of rain down the clouded view before her. The seventeen year old girl glanced over her shoulder, listening to the endless groans of boredom coming from the five boys lifelessly sprawled out in varied places throughout the game room.
It had been a few months subsequently after Lloyd had conquered the Overlord, and Lord Garmadon's darkened heart had been purified. In result to their victory, Ninjago was reshaped into its original, carefree configuration. In fact, many would say it was considered nearly too peaceful. With the Serpentine trapped underground and the Skulitin Army no where to be seen, the ninja found their amicable lives somewhat out of place and rather outlandish. With little harm invited in the land of Ninjago, the heroes felt they had no purpose to defend their city without the balance of good and evil continuously clashing.
With so much as to effortlessly deal with ordinary criminals or occasional robberies, the spinjitzu masters often found themselves dully sitting in front of the television, or competing with one another, fighting to achieve the highest score reached in a video game. Of course their daily commitment of training was always required as their first priority before any 'fun' took place.
As much as they despised admitting the alarming truth, the rooted passion for their devotional lives as heroes gradually faded as each day passed by without a satisfying fight brought forth against the balance. The feeling of having nothing to strive after or so little as to set goals toward, crushed the energized spirit of each ninja and samurai, leaving them to sulk and half-heartedly train for what seemed to be nothing.
Each individual of the powerful team knew they were destined to be an important fraction of history, and their reason for living was clearly drilled through their minds permanently. Therefore, deep inside their hearts, they would always be prepared to destroy any antagonist who dare threaten to step foot in the land they called home. As far as they knew, the defeat of the Overlord and Lord Garmadon was only the beginning of the wild ride they had destined before them..
Kai suddenly tossed his video game controller beside him and vigorously ran his hands down his face. Cole doing the same, over exaggerating their signs of abundant boredom. They quietly sat, listened to the heavy rain mixing with the excessive hail pelting against the windows and roof above their heads.
"Guys," Jay was the first to break the silence, "We've been staring at that blank TV for two hours now," He slouched in his recliner.
"Its better than what's on," Cole yawned, and locked his eyes on the darkened screen mounted before the wrap around couch.
"Well?" Lloyd slid back on the sofa and stretched, "What do you guys wanna do?"
"That's the thing.. There's nothing to do," Kai wearily plopped himself down between Zane And Cole, "And we're not going out anywhere in this weather.."
"Maybe we could watch another movie?" Nya suggested as she abandoned her spot at the window and leaned over her boyfriend.
Zane closed his eyes and shook his head, "That would be our third today,"
Cole groaned and leaned forward, placing his head in his hands, "There's no other options.. I'm sick and tired of spending our nights sitting around staring at each other!"
Nya walked around the recliner and sat on Jay's lap, "This is ridiculous! There has to be something we can do!" The teens blandly slouched back against the couch cushions and pondered ways of entertainment other than video games and television.
"You know," Jay deviously grinned, "I don't know about you guys, but I'm definitely up for some prank calling," He wrapped his arm around his girlfriend, "anyone else?"
"Jay, it's 7:30, no one's gonna be sleeping by now," Kai scoffed.
"Why must they be asleep?" Zane turned and tilted his head, "It works just as fine when they are awake,"
"Its a hell of a lot funnier when you wake them up," The red ninja snickered, "because they're still half asleep when they're answering, and then you get 'em to freak out more,"
"Then who do we know that would be sleeping by now?" The black haired ninja sat up.
"Dareth?" The female sitting with the blue ninja questioned.
"Nah, I can already tell you he'd take it way too seriously, and spend the rest of the night trying to track down the number," Cole chuckled, "what about Sensei?"
"I don't even think he has a cell phone!" Lloyd burst out laughing, "and besides, he would beat us with his staff if he found out it was us!"
"Touché," Cole grinned before he and the other's turned their heads to the disrupting sound of the front doors of the dojo opening and closing. Garmadon and Misako noisily hurried up the stairs, laughing and joking on their way past the unusually quiet game room.
"Where've they been all night?" Kai glanced at the green ninja sitting across from him.
Lloyd sunk back and rolled his emerald green eyes, "They said they were going out to eat earlier,"
"Boys," the blue ninja confidently sprung up from his seat, "I think we just found our first victims!"
"Garmadon and Miskao?" Zane choked on his words, "I am afraid they would react far worse than Sensei!"
"What are we waiting for? Lets do it!" Kai threw his head back laughing, "Common, that would be hilarious!"
"Are you kidding me?" Lloyd stood up to face his friends, "Zane's right, my parents would go ballistic.. Especially Dad! Who knows what he would do to us!"
"Lloyd, think about it! Your dad's so clueless, he would never see it coming!" Cole excitedly jumped up, "What's the worst that would happen if he found out it was us?"
"He'd run us over with his truck and then feed our bodies to Ultra!" The bleach blonde spat and folded his arms over his chest.
"Man, he'd be so pissed!" Kai walked around the couch and snatched his phone from the arm of the furniture, "and that's what makes it all the better!"
"I don't know about this.." Nya ran her fingers through her thick, dark bangs, "we'd wake up Misako too.."
"You guys are putting way to much thought into this," Jay chuckled, "You couldn't ask for a better person to screw around with! I can already see him marching into our room in his fuzzy purple robe and slippers after he finds out it was us!"
"Oh man!" Kai and Cole doubled over in laughter, "Common guys! We don't have a choice, we gotta do it now!"
Lloyd couldn't help but laugh, imagining the humorous scenario himself, "Count me in!"
Nya and Zane shrugged, giving in to idea as well, "Who will be the one speaking?"
"I will!" Jay snatched the phone from the fire ninja's grasp and lowered himself to the carpeted floor while the others huddled beside him, forming a circle along the edge of the rounded couch.
"Fine, I get the second call!" Kai shouted and smacked Jay on the back, "You better have a good voice planned out in your head,"
Nya tapped her brother on the shoulder, "Hey, we can't get out of hand calling them a million times," She giggled, "they'll find out sooner or later!"
"It's Garmadon!" He bent over laughing, "we can go on with this as long as we can, before he comes down and whips us with the belt of his robe and starts chucking his slippers at us!"
Everyone burst out laughing and chaotically hollered in excitement, "HEY!" Jay screamed at the top of his lungs over the wild laughter, "Get all your laughs out now while you have the time, because once he picks up the phone, we are dead silent! Got it?"
The boys shoved each other around, joking and laughing, "Yea, no one says a word no matter how funny it is!" Kai pointed.
"Not even a peep!" Jay intensified his glare toward the teens impatiently packing tightly around him, "not even a giggle leaves your mouth!"
"Okay, we get it!" Nya covered her mouth giggling.
"Whose number will we call?" Zane asked and lied down between Cole and Lloyd crowding around the circle.
"Most likely Dad's cell. Mom never answers this late at night," Lloyd smirked and turned to Jay, "So what's the plan?"
Here's what I'm thinking," the ninja of lightning tossed the cell phone back and forth in his hands, "Once he picks up, I pretend I'm this worker calling from the power company in Ninjago City and I'll say there's going to be a power cut with no electrical service for six hours due to a family of porcupines eating the wires in the junction box,"
Everyone burst out laughing, imagining the older man's reaction, "He'd get all concerned and call the power company back and freak out on them!"
"Shhh!" Jay cringed, while the others split their sides laughing, "We can't be too loud or they'll hear us and ruin it!"
"I don't know how long I can sit here listening to him without laughing my ass off!" Cole snorted and pounded his fist on the carpet.
"Well you better figure out how!" Jay scrolled through the ongoing list of contacts, "If you guys blow this, I'll tell him it was your idea!"
"You're the last person he would believe!" Kai jokingly punched his friend and their excitement raised along with the their shrieks of laughter.
"Shut up! OKAY, SHUT UP! Everybody just shut up!" Jay threateningly raised his voice and put his finger to his lips to quiet their racket, "I'm calling him right now! No one speaks.. Or even breathes!"
Cole buried his face in his arms, pretending his laugh was a cough, and Jay smacked him upside the head, "What did I just tell you?! Shut the hell up! Not a sound leaves either of your mouths!" The earth ninja side glanced Zane and snorted, finding his laughter unbearable to hold in as they met eyes.
Jay squinted at the four boys and Nya with one last warning, and dialed in Garmadon's phone number, "It's ringing!" He whispered and set the sound on speaker in order for the group of teens to hear the entire conversation.
A/N: Jeez, how do you think this prank call will turn out? XD I don't know, with Jay getting all into this and controlling the phone, I have a really bad feeling about it! Prank calling the former lord of the Underworld? That's a risk I would never take, even if I was paid to!
Truth or Dare is on it's way later in the story as well, dares involving messing with Garmadon without getting caught, and things definietly get out of hand! I'll post the next chapter as soon as I know if you guys like this so far or not
So enjoy the rest of the summer while you can! School's just around the corner! Have a great night and thank you so much for reading!
