Hey everyone, VickyT36 here with another ninjago fanfic. I haven't had the best luck with stories in this archive, but I hope this one works. Enjoy!

Chapter 1

A red SUV drove down the road heading towards a large city. Inside were a middle aged couple, and in the back was a 15-year-old girl, and a brown and white kitten. The man had brown hair, mustache, and beard, and wore a green shirt and jeans.

The woman had short black hair, wore a yellow blouse, and white pants. And the girl had long black hair, wore a dark blue t-shirt, pink jacket, and purple pants. "We're almost to Ninjago City." Said the man.

"I can't wait to see our new house up close. What about you, Opal?" asked the woman. The girl looked up from her cell phone at the city. "Yeah." she said quietly. This family were the Lancasters, they were moving to Ninjago City from a small faraway town called Fallon.

Mr. Lancaster had gotten a job offer to manage a bakery in the city, so the whole family packed up and moved to the city. And Mrs. Lancaster was going to be the new school nurse at Ninjago High, and their daughter, Opal would be going there.

But Opal was nervous about living in a new town and going to a new school, she was shy and didn't really say much. "We're about to enter a whole chapter of our lives, Zha Zha." Opal whispered to the kitten, who just meowed.


As they drove into the city, Opal took in the sights of skyscrapers, bustling people, and all sorts of different buildings. Then they pulled up, to their new home, and Mr. Lancaster's new store. The bakery was connected to an apartment, so they'd live upstairs, and Mr. Lancaster will be working downstairs.

The outside of the store was pretty simple, the only thing was a sign that read, "Ninjago's Baked Goods". After parking the car, the whole family got out, stretched, and looked at the place. "Well, it looks like a fixer upper." said Mr. Lancaster.

"It could use a fresh coat of paint." said Mrs. Lancaster. "You could say that again." said Opal. Mr. Lancaster unlocked the door, and they all went inside. Surprisingly it was pretty big on the inside, there were glass display cases that were empty at the moment, a cash register on a counter, behind it were shelves, a soda and coffee machine, and some tables and chairs for customers to sit at.

"It's perfect." said Mr. Lancaster. "It's a pretty nice store." complimented Opal. "You two go on upstairs, I'm gonna look around down here." he said. Mrs. Lancaster, Opal, and Zha Zha walked upstairs to the apartment, and looked around.

There was a small living room right next to a small kitchen, two bedrooms, and one bathroom. "It's kinda small." said Opal. "Well that's how apartments are, Opal. Now why don't take that room, and your father and I will take this one." said Mrs. Lancaster, referring to the rooms.

"All right, Mom." Opal answered. Zha Zha followed Opal into the bedroom down the little hall, and Opal opened the door. The room looked a little small, and Opal hoped that all her furniture would fit.


Couple minutes later, the moving truck came with all the furniture. They brought up the beds, nightstands, table, chairs, couch, ottoman, TV, desks, refrigerator and other boxes of things. Luckily all of Opal's furniture fit her new bedroom.

"Well that's a little better. It's definitely cozier." said Opal, as she sat on the bed, Zha Zha jumped on the bed, and climbed into Opal's lap. She stroked Zha Zha's fur, and listened to her purr. Then there was a knock at her door.

"Come in." she said. Mr. Lancaster opened the door, and poked his head inside. "Hey, sweetie I'm heading out to Chen's Noodle House to pick up dinner. Want to tag along?" Asked Mr. Lancaster.

"Sure, why not." Said Opal. They left the apartment, and drove down the road. When they got to the restaurant, they went in and got in line. As they waited, Opal looked around. She saw a group of teens around her age.

There were eight of them, five guys and three girls. They were all talking, eating, and having fun hanging out. "(Sighs) those guys are lucky." She whispered. After ordering and getting their food, Opal and her dad went back to their apartment.


During dinner Opal was quiet, as she ate her potstickers. She was thinking about tomorrow. She'd be starting her first day at Ninjago High School, and she was nervous about it. Would she have what it takes to fit in with city teens?

"Opal." Said Mrs. Lancaster. "Huh?" She asked, snapping out of her thoughts. "I asked if you're ready to start school tomorrow?" "Yeah, I guess so." Opal answered in an unsure voice.

"We know it can be hard starting school in a whole place, but you're a great girl. You'll be fine." said Mr. Lancaster. "Besides, it's not like you'll be alone; I'll be there." added Mrs. Lancaster.

Opal forced a smile, but when you're a teenager having your mother at school with you wasn't exactly the thing that made you feel better. Later that night, Opal climbed into bed, and Zha Zha curled up by her side.

She stroked her until she fell asleep, then she turned out the light and fell asleep herself.

That's chapter 1, PLZ review, next chapter Opal has her first day of school, and the teens she saw were the ninja team and their allies.
