Zane flipped skillfully over the mechanical training equipment that the ninjas used for practice. Although they had defeated the skeleton, the Serpantine, and Garmadon, Sensei wasn't going to let them "chill" without getting some training in. Cole soon followed and did a perfect landing, receiving claps and cheers from the small audience. Jay followed and winked at Nya who stood by watching. She giggled and waved as a response. This distracted Jay and his flip was off by a good couple inches, resulting in a face plant on one of the wooden mannequins. Kai wasn't paying attention and slammed into Jay, crushing him against the wooden surface.
"Ow," Jay mumbled weakly as he and Kai fell to the ground.
Lloyd couldn't stop laughing at them and soon everyone else was laughing too.
"Guys that really hurt..." Kai complained as he helped Jay stand up.
"Forgive us Kai," Sensei choked back the laughter. "But it serves Jay right..." he walked over to them and whacked Jay on the head with his staff. "Pay attention!"
"Yes Sensei..." Jay sighed and stood up.
"Good," Sensei stood up straight. "Now again!"
Everyone groaned in sync. "Aw, come on Sensei," Cole complained.
"Yeah, we've been training all day!" Jay agreed.
"Yeah, Sensei, can't we at least take a break?" Kai pleaded.
"I could go for a break," Zane nodded his head.
Sensei looked around at all the pleading faces and sighed. "Oh, alright..."
They all cheered and Jay's fist shot in the air. "WOOHOO! PARTY!"
Sensei spoke up. "Under one condition," Everyone looked at Sensei. "I get to join you!"
"I'll get the decorations!" Kai called as he rushed out the door of the training hall.
Cole ran up to Zane. "You are making cake...right, Zane? OH PLEASE TELL ME YOU'LL MAKE CAKE!"
"Of course Cole," Zane started for the door. "You cannot have a celebration without cake."
Later that day in the training hall, music was blaring and streamers were everywhere. Jay and Nya we're dancing together, while Zane, Lloyd, and Sensei played party games. Kai and Cole decided to grab some cake and were conversing, when suddenly the door was opened. Lord Garmadon walked in, stumbling slightly. He was a little weak from all that evil leaving his body and he had slept for a few days straight, not even waking up once. Nobody seemed to notice his presence. Garmadon cleared his throat and stood in the doorway, his arms crossed. Silence fell over the room.
"What is going on up here?" he asked his voice traveling through the room.
"We're having a party!" Lloyd told him in a matter-of-factly tone of voice.
"Yeah, it's kinda like a fun-day Sunday thing!" Kai said.
"Well, more of like a fun-day Tuesday thing," Zane stated.
Lord Garmadon looked around and saw how much fun they were having and sighed. "Well can you just keep it down then? Some of us are trying to sleep."
"Sure thing," Kai nodded understandingly.
"We'll just whisper, and tiptoe," Jay whispered and crouched on his tiptoes.
Garmadon shook his head and closed the door heading down the stairs, leaving the ninjas to their party.
Cole looked at Jay with a raised eyebrow and tried talking with a mouthful of cake. Only getting a mumble he swallowed the cake and continued. "Whisper, and tiptoe?"
Nya looked around at the boys. "Wonder how long that's gonna last."
Jay chuckled a little at her remark.
