Adventure

As I went to sleep, I looked at my little ninjas on the desk and thought, what if they could be real? That would be really cool. It'd be like having a birthday already and with nothing else needed. If I ever had the chance to meet them… I wish they were real… Then I drifted off to sleep, not knowing that a shooting star had crossed my way right when I said those words.

The next night at mom's house, I was up very late. It was a school night and there were no time restrictions for weekends (well, unless mom came in and said, "Go to bed!"). Oh, and by the way, my name is Lily. A few weeks ago I had received my package of ninja from Ninjago. I was so excited since now I had the whole group and I could bring Zane along as a travel buddy. Never would I have imagined that something magical would happen two weeks before my 14th birthday.

Yep, the big 14. My mom was making preparations for the party that would happen soon and I couldn't wait. Tonight though, I simply played Wizard101. Yes, I know; who stays up just to play that game? Well, I don't like saying this but I don't really like it when this guy named Seth is on (don't ask). My character was Sarah Jadeflower; an ice wizard.

It was quiet… too quiet… So quiet that there was no one online as I continued looking for coins for my castle. But, I couldn't but notice that Zane had moved slightly. Had that been real or a figment of my imagination? I shook my head and started battling the Kraken. I'm tired, I thought to myself.

Suddenly I felt something brush against my hand and I flicked it in the other direction. Next I heard a tiny shriek and I look to see two small white legs moving back and forth wildly. I nearly screamed; but I had second thoughts. So instead, I grabbed a nearby water bottle, chugged down the rest of it, picked up one of the legs, and quickly placed it inside the bottle. I examined my little prisoner. It was Zane. "Zane?" I asked.

"Hello Lily," he said and I jumped back. Legos. Don't. Talk. "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? You're walking and talking that's what!"

"But I thought this was good, you wished for it right?"

"Yeah, but…"

"But what?"

"I don't know. Wait, if you're alive, then…" I looked to where the three other ninja were supposed to be and saw they were walking towards us carefully.

Cole must have seen my scared face because he said with his hands out, "Don't freak out."

I kept my mouth shut. Okay, how am I to do this… "May I please be removed from the bottle?" Zane asked.

I shook him out of the bottle and afterwards he looked a bit dizzy. "Please tell me I'm dreaming," I said.

"This is far from dreaming Lily," Cole said.

"Yes and we are about to torture you like…" Jay started, but then Kai smacked him on the back of the head.

"Ignore the jester please," Kai said.

I shook my head and picked all of them up with one hand. "I can't deal with this right now," I said. I opened the door to my small safe and placed them all inside, tapping Jay on the head with my finger and he yelped a bit.

"Wait, Lily, you don't understand…" Zane started to say.

"I do understand; I need to stop staying up late." I closed the safe, logged out, put everything away, put on my nightgown, turned off the light, said my daily prayer, and then fell asleep.

Zane's POV

"Get me out of here!" Kai yelled, running around in circles.

"Out of all the colors, why does it have to be pink?" Cole asked.

"We're goners!" Jay yelled, pretending to die on the floor. "Goodbye cruel world!"

I sighed and kicked open the door slightly. They looked at me with a 'how?' face. "She forgot to lock the door," I said.

"Good thinking Zane," Cole said.

We all hoped out and looked around the dark room. "Zane, put on your flash light mode," Jay said.

I flipped to flashlight mode and saw that Lily was asleep. "Ok, that plan failed miserably," Kai said.

"Yeah no kidding," Jay said.

"It was worth a try though," Cole said. He got out the potion that only made one of us as big as the humans. "Now for plan two."

"Who's going to be the one that turns big?" Jay asked.

Kai made a grab for the bottle, saying, "I think it should be me."

Cole put it out of his reach, saying, "If anyone should get it, it should be Zane."

"Why?" Jay, Kai, and I asked.

"Because she trusts him more than us."

The others nodded in agreement. "I still don't understand how I will be able to enroll and get her parents and other major people to think that I can be at certain places."

"Sensei said that when that happens, spray a dash of dust on them and they'll accept you," Cole explained, handing me the dust and the potion. "Now I suggest that you go to the floor when you drink that."

I jumped down the many shelves all the way to the floor. I looked back at my brothers, who were smiling as a sign of encouragement.

I sighed. Well, here goes nothing. I took a sip of it; it reminded me of buttered frosting. From there I chugged the whole thing down. Nothing seemed to happen at first. "I don't think it worked," I called to my brothers.

"Maybe it was the wrong potion," Jay said.

"Should we try…" Before I could say anything else, I felt a surge of energy sweep through me and when I looked on the ground, I saw the floor getting farther away. It was working! I stopped growing after I got to an average height. Then my hands started to form into human hands instead of my normal cuff like hands. Next my feet changed from blocks to human like feet. Okay, that wasn't expected…

I looked at myself in the mirror. My face had changed too. Instead of my normal black beady eyes, I had blue eyes… odd. My face also had color and facial complexions of a human.

"Wow Zane, you're huge!" Jay said.

"And you look different!" Cole said.

"Um, is that supposed to be a compliment?" I asked.

"Never mind that, go on and get some rest or start thinking of what to say to Lily in the morning so she doesn't freak out on us, ok?" Cole said.

"Ok, I'll try," I said unsurely. What am I supposed to say to her? Now I am alive and as big as you are because I drank a potion. I don't think that would be very convincing… I sighed. Oh well, I'll sleep on it and hopefully think of a good plan. I went next to Lily's bed, lay beside it, and went to sleep, allowing my sixth sense to kick in.
