Is the title a reference to "You Give Love A Bad Name"? Why yes, yes it is.

Now, before we begin, this oneshot takes place after episode 34, so there will obviously be spoilers. I'm also going to be going with this headcanon of mine that the Ninja (and the others) end up moving into an apartment place courtesy of Cyrus. Doesn't really affect much, though.

Note: None of these oneshots are canon to one another, so don't worry.

For our first oneshot, here's a scenario for everyone's favourite love triangle!

One last note, I do not own Ninjago. Enjoy!

Nya slouched against the wall of her apartment room, resting her face in her hands. What am I going to do? she wondered, her mind still swimming with thoughts of Cole and Jay. I can't break up with Jay…but then there's Cole…

The slamming of a door interrupted her thoughts. She looked up to see her brother beaming in her direction, his smile soon fading when he saw the distraught look on her face. "What's wrong, Nya? Did something happen?"

She shrugged. "No," she muttered. "Not yet, anyway."

Kai went to her side, nudging her shoulder gently. "Well, c'mon, cheer up!" he said, forcing a smile. "Not much of a reason to be upset. I mean, the Overlord's dead, and Zane's actually alive… If anything, we have quite a few reasons to be happy, don't we?"

Nya didn't reply; instead, she looked away from Kai's prying gaze, folding her arms across her chest. "How… How are Cole and Jay doing?" she asked.

Kai snorted. "They're at it again. After we found out about Zane, they pretty much went back to arguing with each other over…" He trailed off when the realization hit him. "Wait…are you still upset over that silly Love Tester thing?"

"A little… I want to choose between them, but I just can't! There's all this pressure on me to just decide and get it over with already, but I can't choose!"

Kai watched as his sister sank slowly onto the ground, resting her chin on her knees and staring at the wall ahead. He didn't know what to say that would make her feel any better, feeling that whatever he did say might backfire. He eventually sat on the ground next to her, resting a hand on her shoulder, before finally speaking.

"You know…a machine can't tell you who you should love. No kind of technology is that accurate. Hell, you could go back there and try again, and it'd probably be a different person this time."

She looked up at him. "Really?"

"You never know. And, listen, if you're still convinced that a machine can tell you who your perfect match is, then consider this: How have Cole and Jay both been treating you? Has one been treating you better than the other? Or are they just trying to one-up each other when it comes to impressing you?"

Nya leaned back, trying to remember what they did after finding out about the Love Tester. "You're right. That kinda does help me, Kai. Thanks."

Kai gave his sister a hug, smiling. "No problem. And if it were my decision, any guy who tries to compete with another guy for you isn't worth being with."

He held out a hand for Nya, which she gratefully took, and helped her up. "I think I know what to do now," she said, heading for the door.

Kai walked over to the small couch, lying down and grabbing the TV remote. "Oh, really? What're you gonna do?"

She smirked. "You'll find out," she said, shutting the door behind her.

~o~o~o~o~

"Screw off, Jay!" Cole yelled, shoving the lightning ninja away roughly. "If Nya wants to be with me, why can't you just deal with it?"

Jay stomped back towards him, kicking him in the stomach. "Oh, go eat dirt, tutu boy! You know she likes me better! Otherwise, we wouldn't still be dating!"

"What did you just call me?!" Cole grabbed Jay by his shirt front, raising a fist and preparing to punch him in the jaw. "I'll give you three damn seconds to take that back before I-"

A door shut behind him, and Cole looked over his shoulder to see Nya standing by the door, hands on her hips. "What's happening?" she asked. "Didn't you say you wouldn't fight anymore?"

Jay shoved Cole away, smiling. "Nothing, Nya! We're just…" He paused and glared at Cole before continuing. "…disagreeing with each other."

Cole scoffed. "Yeah, whatever. You started it, Sparky." He smirked when Jay glared again. "So, what do you need?"

Nya came closer. "I just wanted to tell you two…I've made my decision."

The two ninja grinned, their eyes lighting up in anticipation. "Well, don't keep us waiting, tell us!" Cole insisted.

"Yeah, this has gone on long enough!" Jay added. "Please, come on!"

Nya took a deep breath before replying. "I choose…neither of you."

Cole and Jay both took a step back, their mouths gaping. "Wh-what?" Jay stammered. "B-but…aren't we…"

"That's another thing, Jay. I decided I'm…breaking up with you," she said. Her voice sounded strained, as though she were having difficulty even voicing the words.

Cole's thick eyebrows furrowed. "What about me?" he asked.

"That's just it. I don't want to be with either of you." When Cole and Jay exchanged bewildered glances, she explained further. "If you guys really cared about me, you wouldn't even be trying to compete for my attention. If anything, you'd ignore what the Love Tester said and you'd move on."

"But… But you listened to what it said, didn't you?" Jay retorted weakly. "Shouldn't you have moved on, too?"

Nya nodded. "Yeah, I should have, and I'm not happy I didn't move on sooner, but at least that gave me a chance to see what you would do if I were ever interested in another guy."

"I never started the fights, though," Cole said. "Jay over here was the only one who started arguing with me whenever he saw the two of us together!"

"Yeah, but you kept retaliating. You never ignored him or tried to make the fighting stop!"

Cole and Jay fell silent, looking down at the ground as Nya continued. "You guys were so focused on trying to compete to impress me than actually trying to make me happy." She folded her arms. "I know that might sound selfish, but my point still stands: I choose neither of you, and I don't care what you say about it." She turned and headed for the door, but not before adding, "And I hope you two can sort out your issues with each other soon."

She slammed the door behind her, and Jay and Cole sighed heavily, slumping onto the floor beside each other. "We blew it," they said in unison, turning to glare at the other.

"Well, I hope you're happy," Jay growled. "Thanks to you, Nya hates me, and she'll probably never speak to me again."

"My fault? If anything this is your…" Cole gritted his teeth, then slouched. "No… Nya's right. We shouldn't be fighting."

Jay's gaze softened. "Yeah… She probably hates us both now…"

They were both quiet for a long moment, not daring to make eye contact with each other. Cole brushed his long bangs out of his eyes, and hesitantly stretching his hand out towards Jay.

The redhead stared at Cole, narrowing his eyes. "What?"

"Let's… Let's make a truce, okay?" Cole suggested. "From here on out, no more fighting. How about it?"

Jay took a deep breath through his nose, then took Cole's hand, giving a small smile. "No more fighting."

~o~o~o~o~

Kai was flipping through the channels on the TV when Nya walked in, her expression not giving away any obvious emotion. "How did it go?" Kai asked, looking away from the TV.

"It went good," she said, walking over to sit on the couch next to her brother.

"You happy with your decision?"

Nya nodded. "In fact…I think I feel a lot better about it than I thought I would."

Yeah... I might be a Jaya fan, but this is how I personally feel the love triangle will end up. Kind of.

Now, here's where you guys come in! Send in some oneshot requests for me, and I'll see if I can do them. It doesn't have to take place after the latest series finale, either! Since this oneshot series focuses on relationships, it could be all sorts of pairings. If you have a specific request, send it in via PM. Quick note, though, one pairing I won't doing is Self-centeredshipping, because I have no idea how that pairing works. Also, I will not be using anyone's OCs, so...yeah.

Now go, dear readers! Send in your oneshot requests!
