She breathed in. Her memories flooded back as she stepped off of a gorgeous dragon into her now home. The island was too quiet without her friend piping up. They were deadly silent, so silent it was loud- defying physics. That confused the science nerd, who was already confused. Why had her mother come back? Why did she leave? And howcan you stay quiet for 12 years? What had happened that her father did this? And- most of all- how did she feel like they were still there? They're gone…
She was brought back to reality by a red sleeve wiping tears from her eyes. She tried to maintain her intimidating yet happy face but failed and hugged the 16-year-old Kai and cried. Her parents were gone, and they were outside their old room, so it wasn't like she was being wimpy. Then came Jay, Nya, Lloyd's twin Alexis, and so on so forth until 8 ninja and Lizzy, Rumi and PIXAL were having a group hug.
After they were done, Skylor opened the door and saw something amazing… a picture taken 14 years ago. She melted. A man with deep brown eyes and Cadbury's chocolate brown hair, gelled back; a woman with blonde hair to the shoulders, wavy and thick, turquoise eyes with warmth: they had a 2-year-old on her lap, a little girl with a chestnut bob and teal, sparkly, innocent eyes. She was laughing, her dad probably made her laugh, he was funny when he wasn't 'doing his villaining' as she'd always said. A note read:
'We put this up for you. We left photo albums for you. We love you so and we're still here- spirits can't be killed. We love you, Skylor Madeline Chen, and say your name with pride and not regret.
Mum and dad.'
