This is almost like a series of one shots, based around the list Skylor created during my story "An Involuntary Break". It is not necessary to read AIB first, but it might help! Also set after season 9 so will most likely contain spoilers. I probably should also point out that, although I do mostly follow the history of the Ninjago series in canon, my writing is an AU, one that I imagine series 9 to be followed up with.

They were both laid flat out on their backs on the ground, laying tightly next to each other but at opposites, her feet to his head, side laid against side, silently staring up at the stars. Or at least they had been. She lifted her head slightly and noted the closed eyes, open mouth and slightly heavier breathing. She couldn't resist such an opportunity…

"Ouch!"

She sniggered. Well he was definitely awake now, sitting up and removing her glove from his face where she had just thrown it.

She sat up slightly, grinning, "That's pay back for yesterday!"

"What! Oh, that's it!" He flung himself up onto his knees and before she could react had launched himself onto her, pinning her to the ground.

"Do you yield?!" he breathed, eyes sparkling with mirth.

She could only laugh, full bellied, straight from the depths laughter.

"Do you yield?!" He demanded, louder, his body weight pressing down into her, arms pinned above her head.

"Never!" She fluttered her long eyelashes, staring directly into the deep, brown eyes of her captor, admiring the amber flecks which sparkled in the moonlight.

"Oh that's playing dirty! Yield!"

"Keep it down, you two. Some of us need our beauty sleep."

"Some of us more than others, eh Jay?" Kai shouted back, still not releasing his captive from his unrelenting grip.

Jay muttered something incomprehensible from the window he had been leaning out of, overlooking the courtyard of the monastery where the disruptive couple were laying, before his shadowy figured disappeared again, presumably back to his bed.

Kai returned his attention to his captive girlfriend, who was trying to hold in even more laughter, tears forming in her eyes.

"Ok, ok. I yield."

"Good." And with that they melted into each other, Skylor's arms now released and wrapped around Kai's neck.

Surfacing a good few minutes later, Kai rolled back over onto his back, now laying alongside Skylor with his arm behind his head. She lent up onto her elbow, facing him and tracing the lines of his lightweight training armour on his chest which he hadn't bothered to take off when she had arrived, surprising him earlier than planned.

"So whatcha doing tomorrow?" She probed. Kai looked over to her, raising a scarred eyebrow.

"I've not made any plans. What about you?"

"Well as it's a Sunday and you don't have to do any training, I thought maybe I could crack out the list."

"The list?" He turned onto his side, looking at her with interest. "What is 'the list'?"

She smiled, slightly hesitant. "You remember a few weeks ago, when you had concussion, and Lloyd decided to give us a break?"

"Oh…that list." He remembered the time well. Well, not all of it, some of it was definitely very hazy and confused. An 'eventful' but ultimately, in the end, incredibly positive time. He guessed he had Jay to inadvertently thank for that…

"Yeah, I had some great stuff planned out on that list to try and keep you occupied. And seeing as Ninjago City has had a bit longer to rebuild itself since then, I could add even more to it. I thought doing some of it might be fun."

She gazed at him, seeking affirmation, and he hesitantly smiled back. He had no idea what was on this list.

"Ok," he brushed a renegade lock of her shocking red hair back behind her ear. "I'll give it a go."

She leaned over and kissed him.

"Hmm… it is late. You want to stay over?" She smiled at the master of fire, shaking her head.

"No, I'll head back. I'll be fine!" She added quickly before his worrying could kick in properly. "I'll message you as soon as I'm back."

She jumped up, holding a hand out to help Kai up and grabbed her discarded glove alongside her bag and keys.

"I'll see you in the morning."

"Mmm, yes." Kai kissed her goodnight and walked her to the monastery gate to her little car, watching as she drove back down the winding road of the peak the grand building stood atop. The list, he thought to himself as he turned and made his way to his room. This could be interesting.

So there we have it, the start of "the list"! What does Skylor have in store for Kai? I guess we will find out…
