A Night Out

Everyone wanted to go out for dinner that night, especially Lloyd. Since he grew older, the ninjas had been training with him nonstop and he needed a break. He was so excited when Sensei Wu agreed to Jay's plan to eat out for once.

"Hey Nya! I was wondering if you wanted to go to this new sea food place back in the city? I mean I could take you and-" Jay was beginning to say, but was cut off by all the others coming back from training.

"You two are going to the new restaurant?" Kai asked after walking.

"Maybe we could all go and finally take a break from training Lloyd. Can we Sensei?" Cole pleaded.

"Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to take one night off." Sensei surprisingly agreed.

Cole got an excited look. "Alright! Jay's paying! He offered."

"What! I never said that!"

The whole gang started to laugh at the comment. Suddenly, Lloyd speed walked to the door when Zane saw him leaving.

"What's with the hurry, Lloyd?" Zane asked with a smile on his face.

"I just want to get this suit off. I love being the green ninja and all, but sometimes I wish could do more fun stuff." Lloyd ran out to get out of his suit and the others followed.

At the restaurant, everyone had changed into nicer clothes and where seated at a table for six. Jay and Cole had somehow gone off about an old TV show where people inhabiting the sky and people inhabiting the underground would face off. Lloyd zoned out when Jay started to talk about the couples in the show. Even though Lloyd was technically older, he still did not understanding the whole romance thing.

"No! The princess of the sky did not have a crush on the prince of the underground. It was the other way around! Completely one-sided!" Jay said trying to prove to Cole that he was right.

"Well, why did she come down to the underground to see him when the Gem Ball was going on?" Cole yelled across the table.

Lloyd was getting annoyed and wanted this to end.

"Because her father was there and she wanted to find him! She ran into the prince on her way in!" Lloyd screamed, startling everyone.

"Wow Lloyd. You must have been as sick of that fight as I was?" Kai added.

Jay and Cole just glared at each other. The rest of the gang started to talk about training, while Lloyd's eyes started to wonder around the restaurant. He looked over at two waitresses. For some reason, the younger waitress seemed very familiar to him. Out of the blue, he remembered exactly who she was. He let out a gasp and Zane looked at him.

"What's wrong Lloyd?"

"That girl over there, she worked at my old school."

"She did?"

"Yea. She was the daughter of an old teacher. She used to help out around the school. I sorta had a crush on her, but she was older than me." Lloyd was then cut off by Cole.

"Really? Ha! Lloyd, I could have never see you having a crush on someone older than you!"

"Is that really necessary Cole?" Nya asked in annoyance.

"Anyway it looks like you two are the same age now that you grew older." Zane stated and he was right.

"I still don't want her to see me." Lloyd said sliding down in his chair.

"Relax, Lloyd. Do you really think she would recognize you?" Kai added, referring to his new body.

Just then, everyone returned to their meals. Lloyd was about to pick up his fork when someone called his name.

"Lloyd?"
