Chapter 1
Ninja
What if I told you once upon a time, I, was a ninja.
Really daddy? You were a ninja?
Maybe, just listen to the story.
"Once upon a time there lived six Ninja. Their names were Kai, Jay, Cole, Zane, Lloyd, and Nya."
Like Mr. Jay and Miss Nya and, and you daddy.
Yes, yes. Now just listen, ok.
Ok!
"Now, these Ninja weren't ordinary Ninja. No. These Ninja had special powers.
Kai the fire ninja could create and manipulate fire.
Jay the lightning ninja could utilize the power of lighting.
Cole the earth ninja could control earth and he also had super strength.
The Nindroid Zane the ice ninja had the powers of ice. He could freeze anything.
Nya the water ninja could control water.
And Lloyd. Lloyd the green ninja had the power of Energy.
One day these Ninja had to go on a mission to stop a powerful magician who could steal their powers from them, so the Ninja plotted and planned for a while and finally they came up with a plan to stop the powerful magician."
Daddy, what does plotted mean?
It basically means planned .
Why did you use the same word twice?
Uhhh... Because it sounded right. Anyway.
"The Ninja were ready to carry out their plan to beat the magician when they were ambushed by him! The Ninja were caught off guard and one of the Ninja, the Ninja named Lloyd, got his powers taken taken from him. Zane was shut down due to a powerful spell that couldn't be broken. And the Ninja down to 5 members, one powerless, were defeated. The power of the magician was too strong soon the Ninja had to go into hiding, and there they stay till this very day, hiding so that the great magician Shou Shi couldn't steal anymore of their powers. So they could get stronger. So they could one day beat the magician."
So the Ninja lost? and ran? That's dumb.
Not really. You see the Ninja had people to protect and by going into hiding they were protecting all of Ninjago.
How were they protecting Ninjago by running?
Master Shou Shi only hunted Ninja so when the Ninja went into hiding he became less of a threat.
Ohhh. I don't understand. Hey, were you really a Ninja!?
I don't know.
Yes you do!
No I don't.
Yes you do!
Goodnight Robin. I love you.
But daddy!
Goodnight.
Goodnight!

Robins POV
"Zachery, have you seen him yet?"
"Not yet, what are you looking for anyway?"
I turned to face Zachery to find he wasn't even at the door. (What kind of look out doesn't even watch the door?) "First of all, none of your business. Second, how do you know he's not coming? You're not even looking!"
"I was looking when you asked. However it is my business." He said with that smug know it all look.
"How so?"
He started pacing as if he was thinking really hard. (Stupid.) "Well, I have reason to know why we're looking in dad's office and what we're looking for because, one I'm helping you by looking out for dad, two I could always leave the room and when dad comes home I'll tell him you were in his office. "
(Crap, I knew that stupid little weasel had something evil planned.) I looked at him and rolled my eyes and he just gave me his bratty little smile. "I could always tell him you were in here with me."
"Who would believe you?" He asked just sitting their staring at me with his arms crossed.
I sighed and rolled my eyes again. "Fine."
He grinned with a look of triumph. "So what are you looking for? "
"I'm looking for a file, hard drive, book, anything that says something about Ninja."
"Why?" He asks moving closer to me.
"Because, when I was younger dad used to tell me stories about Ninja and he used to talk about how he, Kai, Cole, Jay, Nya, and this robot named Zane used to go around fighting bad guys. So, I thought to myself"
He interrupts me mid sentence to say "You think? I didn't know that."
"Could you just listen." I demand agitated. "So, I thought to myself, dad can't be just a boring history teacher their has to be something more to him. That's why I'm digging through his stuff be-"
"Because you think dad's a Ninja." He said finishing my sentence. "You know as well as I do that dad's just a simple high school teacher and that Ninja are superstitions."
"Then why would dad use his name in the stories?" I tested him.
"Because he wanted himself to seem cooler to you when you were six. "
"Then why did he add his friends into the story?"
"Because he needed more characters. Just face it dad can't be-"
"Dad can't be what, Zachery?" I jumped as I saw my dad walk into the room, grabbed the closest thing near me, which happened to be a hard drive, and hid it in my pocket.
"D-d-d-dad. Uhhhhh..." Zachery tried to say (Haha that little brat's so busted)
"Go on Zachary I wanna hear what dad can't be, along with an explanation to why you two are in my office." Dad said crossing his arms.
"Well... I... We..." Zachery tried again going completely red. (Doing the shy act , huh? Practically begging for me to rescue you. Well, not this time little bro.)
"You can't explain, Zachery? Then what about you Robin can you tell me what you were doing my office?" Dad said turning his head to me.
(Crap.) "We were just looking for something we lost in here." I said trying to think quickly of a lie I could tell.
"Really? What was it that you guys lost in my office, and how did it get in my office in the first place?" Dad asked smirking.
"You see me and Zachery were playing this mobile game and I got so mad when I lost that I threw my phone and it landed somewhere in your office." I tried.
"So you threw your phone and it just magically landed in my office, which was locked when I left?" He asked me looking at me as if he thought there was something wrong with me.
"Yes!" I said hoping he'd buy it.
"Hmmm... Well, you're both getting grounded for a month for sneaking into my office and an extra two weeks for Robin for lying."
"What? This is totally unfair." I said in disbelief.
"Life's not fair Robin. How do you think I feel about you guys sneaking around my office when I've told you on multiple occasions not to?"
"Nothing's supposed to be fair for you, you're a dad!" I yelled.
"Cool it Robin, before you get more time. Now, I'm going to pay the Walkers a visit. Would you guys like to join me?" Dad said.
(Nooooooo not the Walkers) "Nope. Plus I'm grounded now." I retorted.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to ask you guys if you wanted to, I meant to say you guys are going with me to the Walkers house as a part of your punishment."
"What!?" Me and Zachery said at the same time.
" Yeah, I think Sally would like the company, and Nya asked me if you guys were coming so she could make you guys some cookies. "
"I hate her cookies! They taste like something died in them." I whined.
"She knows. That's why she makes them, to keep you on your best behavior while you're over." Dad laughed. "Go to your room and be ready to go in 10 minutes."
As me and Zachery were walking to our room dad said "Robin if you decide that you're not going to get ready you're getting an extra week."
I just rolled my eyes and continued walking. When we got to our room I told Zachery I wasn't going and he just shrugged and picked up a book. (Stupid little bookworm won't even listen to me vent). I got ready to go and laid in my bed thinking to myself (I can't wait till I'm 18 so I can leave this stupid place).
