Chapter 1: Flashback…

Lloyd sat next to his friend, Scarlet in a park nearby Darkly's Boarding School for Bad Boys. "I can't believe they're kicking you out of school." Scarlet whined. "Where are you gonna' go?"

The slightly older boy shrugged. "I don't know, but my dad's gonna' be mad when he finds out I'm not bad like him."

She frowned. "So I guess this is the last time I'll see you?"

"Yeah, it is." After a long period of silence, she inched closer to him. He noticed and realized what was coming. They were both friends, but too young to date one another, so they would show affection to say they liked each other. His cheeks turned red when she grabbed his hand. "Alright, wherever you end up, you have to promise to visit me again." She half smiled. "When are you leaving?"

"Tonight,"

Scarlet frowned again, but perked up slightly. "Close your eyes." She ordered.

Slowly Lloyd closed his eyes and felt something touch his lips. The kiss was plain and simple because neither child really had much experience, but they both had a liking to it. Scarlet put her hands on Lloyd's shoulders, trying gain an advantage in height. He beat her by a few inches which made her look a bit shorter. Eventually they pulled apart and sat, staring at one another. "I almost forgot," she slapped her forehead. "In a few weeks my family's moving to Ninjago City."

"That's cool, I hear-" his sentence was cut off by Scarlet being pulled away by her mother. "How many times have I told you not to mess with those disgusting boys from that boarding school?" her mother scolded, pulling her daughter away from her best friend.

Scarlet felt like crying, she would probably never get to see Lloyd again. "Whatever, mom…" she mumbled. The eleven year old girl turned around and mouth the words "I love you."to him.

"I love you too." He mouthed back, smiling.

Neither child knew what real love was, but they felt something strong. Lloyd's eyes started to well up slightly when he realized he'd never see her again. "C'mon, Lloyd boys don't cry."He thought, wiping his eyes.

Lloyd knelt down beside the unconscious girl in Doomsday Comics; he had been changed to look like a seventeen year old because of an accident with tomorrow's tea. The girl had been left behind by some friends and had been changed to appear older as well. She had long caramel colored hair, blue eyes that were now closed and freckles strewn across the bridge of her nose. She looked just like…It couldn't be…She lived back in…Then it hit him, before he got kicked out of school, she had said her family was moving to Ninjago City. Could it be…? "Scarlet?" he asked.

Lloyd picked the girl up bridal style and carried her away with the other ninja following behind him dumbfounded. "Lloyd, do you know her?" Kai asked.

"Yeah…She was an old friend." He looked down at his old crush. The exact one he cried for when he thought he'd never get to see her again. "A really close one…" he brushed a strand of hair out of her face as they walked back to the ship. "I can't believe it's you…" he whispered.
