Hello and please enjoy my new fic, starting with a single, short chapter.

Lloyd

Lloyd was, above all else, a child.

A child who, despite having aged from the age of nine to fourteen in the span of one night, was going to continue being a child.

He had plans for that night. Plans to prank his friends while they were sleeping in a way that they had never been pranked before.

For Kai, Lloyd did the classic "Glue all the furniture but the bed to the ceiling" prank, which changed his sneaking skills as the Fire Ninja was a very light sleeper and would get mad if he was woken in the middle of the night.

Cole was easier, being the one who slept like a rock. Lloyd put specially purchased makeup on Cole as he threatened to inhale the curtains as he snored.

Shocking pink lipstick, pale blue eye shadow (which didn't blend well with Cole's dark skin tone, but that was the idea), bright orange blush and even fake eyelashes of the darkest, thickest kind. He was going to wake up pretty.

Zane was, like Kai, a light sleeper, so he had to be careful again. Thankfully, Zane wouldn't get mad if he were woken up earlier than needed, but it was Pixal that was the real problem.

She didn't sleep.

She didn't need to.

Lloyd brought out his well-planned pranking supplies.

It was going to be glitter.

Blue glitter, silver glitter, green glitter, red glitter, and every other colour glitter, dumped out on Zane and the rest of his room. The Nindroid would be finding glitter demons for weeks, maybe even months, and even better, Pixal didn't see him.

Nya was a heavy sleeper, unlike her brother, but she also made weird sound and talked as she slept. On this particular night, she was calling for Jay and when she wasn't, she was barking.

Lloyd pulled out the stick-it notes.

"Jay!" Came the mournful cry as the first few sticky papers were stuck to her face. "Jay, come back! Please! I'm sorry!"

Lloyd didn't know what Nya was sorry for, but she spent the next five minutes barking like an angry Rottweiler while more stick-it notes were put on her.

"Please! Jay, don't go!" More barking followed.

In the end, Nya's sleeping habits chased Lloyd out of the room and into Jay's room.

Jay was said to be the heaviest sleeper in all of Ninjago, so he was going to be the easiest to prank out of all of them.

Cole once said that one could tap-dance to Heavy Metal so loud one could go deaf on top of Jay's head and he still wouldn't wake up.

Throwing a bucket of water over him wouldn't wake him either.

There was only one thing Jay would wake up for, but Cole decided that he wanted cake more than he wanted to say what would wake the Blue Ninja of Lightning.

Lloyd already had a plan.

He was going to take Jay and stick him to the ceiling while he slept, kind of the reverse of his prank on Kai.

When he got in Jay's room, he found the Blue Ninja cuddling with a jar of Gummi Ninjas.

Lloyd didn't want to accidently break the jar and leave little shards of glass for his friend to hurt himself on, so he took the jar and put it on the table next to the bad.

Big mistake.

BIG MISTAKE.

BIG MISTAKE.

Jay started making the same kind of sound an injured dog makes. He pawed at the thin air, as if trying to grab on to something.

He was twitching, a good indicator that he was going to wake up if Lloyd didn't do something soon.

Then it happened.

The prank backfired.

Jay had Lloyd.

Jay had Lloyd, and he didn't seem very willing to let go of him.

If Lloyd struggled and tried to get away, he was going to wake Jay, which would ruin the entire prank.

Then Jay turned around, still holding on to Lloyd, forcing the Green Ninja to stay where he was.

It was hard to fall asleep, though. At some point, Jay grabbed on to Lloyd's face like the facehugger alien in that one movie that still gave Lloyd nightmares and made inhuman sounds that matched the creature.

As the night went on, Lloyd went on to wish he went with the age-old "warm water" prank instead of trying to glue Jay to the ceiling.

Especially when Jay went on to use Lloyd as a pillow.

Lloyd woke up in a bed that was not his own and staring at Jay's "good morning" face.

"Good morning, Honey," Jay cheerily greeted.

Ugh.

Morning people.

"I'd kiss you, but I didn't brush my teeth yet and you deserve fresh, minty breath," Jay continued.

Lloyd knew that there was a reason he hated morning people.

Inhuman, the lot of them. With their getting out of bed as soon as the sun came up, and their happy, preppy smiles at the breakfast table while everybody else was feeling like dirt, just coming back from their morning jogs…

"You know, when I went out on my morning jog today…"

Lloyd confessed his eternal hatred to Jay, who shrugged and left, presumably to brush his teeth.

"Morning, Cole. You look very pretty today," Jay's voice said.

Cole made a surprised sound, then he let out a scream. "I LOOK LIKE A CLOWN!"

"A very pretty clown," Jay said in an agreeing tone of voice.

Morning people.

Cole seemed to agree with Lloyd.

"What are you doing up this early anyway?" he asked. "It's Saturday."

"I was out on my morning jog, and the weirdest thing…"

"Jay, it's waaay too early for me to care about anything right now. It's 5:30 in the morning."

Wait.

Jay was already awake.

Lloyd had the perfect chance to get back in his own bed and sleep for the rest of the day.

Or at least until noon.

I hope you enjoy this chapter

Warning: Jay is just messing with Lloyd. I will not be shipping them.

Nya had a dream that Jay was leaving her because she had been turned into a dog, just in case you're curious. Also, somebody looks to be a morning person. ;).

The first few chapters are just a prologue. It gets more exciting, I swear.
