'Happy Birthday.' Those were the two words that Kai wouldn't ever think he would hear those meant for him. 'Dang you Jay! The others mustn't make this a big thing like they do on any of the other special days.'
Jay and Kai were still on the floor right after Kai tackled his friend to the ground. He didn't realize how long they were on the ground, since they heard Cole's impatient call.
"Jay! Kai! Are you guys coming to breakfast?"
Jay stood up quickly and zoomed out. It seemed like he was enjoying himself. He first, scared Kai to death, then said what Kai never wanted to hear. 'This day isn't going to go so well.' Kai thought, getting up from the floor, and making his way to his bedroom door. He was unsteady at first, but kept his balance when reaching the door. Outside the door was Cole, who seemed to be waiting for him in the hall.
"What took so long?" Surprisingly to Kai, his friend in black wasn't acting as impatient as he sounded. This could only mean one thing. 'Cole must be acting different because it's my birthday. It's either that or this is them joking around. Letting Kai get off guard and then-' Kai's thought were interrupted by Cole leading Kai to the dining table.
As they walked, side by side, Cole told Kai whatever they were planning. "There's one thing different happening today, you and Jay will be out in the city for the whole day. Sensei wants you both to have a day off, while the rest of us work." Cole was now acting normal, with the worries from Kai going away. But one thing still bothered him.
Why me and Jay? We aren't the most hardworking ones?" Kai asked his taller teammate.
"Umm... because, " Kai could tell something was up, he could tell from the struggle in Cole's voice. He was hesitating, until he answered, finally. "Jay will tell you later."
The both made their way to breakfast, so the day can begin.
At the dining table, there was something Kai wasn't expecting. Zane made his all time favorite breakfast! Normally when Zane cooks for them, and not let them get whatever, he normally makes one thing, but this time, they have the best thing that could be on a plate.
"What are you standing there for?" Cole asked, as he went over and sat down. "It's just food, Kai. You don't have to be so excited."
Kai could have swore that Cole had a smirk on his face. But that didn't worry him when he sat down, Zane put down his plate. It wasn't when everybody sat down at the table is when he had to eat.
What was for breakfast, which Kai haven't had in a long time, since he can't cook, are eggs, bacon and on the side was buttered toast. It was nothing like whatever Zane usually makes. Jay and Lloyd may love their pie, Cole may love the cake, Nya who really loves Zane's muffins, but Kai adores his bacon and eggs. It's the most delicious thing ever in all of humanity!
Kai peeked over from the left of him to Nya, right after he took a bite. She must be in it too. She wasn't looking at him, like she usually does whenever Kai eats this. 'Something is wrong that they're not telling me.'
Before Kai could think about it any more, Jay told him quietly, "You enjoy it?"
Kai nodded, staring intensely at his plate of food. He heard Jay snicker beside him on the right of him. It must be only Kai who heard him, since no one else reacted.
He was aware of Jay sitting there, though Jay was already done. This must be about them getting out for the day.
It was just after he finished is when Jay said to Kai, "now c'mon, we have somewhere to go and something to do." He announced, quite proudly. It must be because he finally gets a break.
"Those are?" Kai asked, looking right at the blue ninja. Nothing important was going on today. It was true that Jay's second favorite season was winter, so the real reason must be is he wanted to enjoy the beginning of the cold season. But for Kai, it is his least favorite season for many reasons. Too many to list right now, seeing Jay being as impatient he is during this time of the year.
"Just c'mon!"
Kai didn't want to leave the Bounty, since Cole and Nya has been acting suspicious, but that meant Jay had to literally drag Kai into his room. He knew he couldn't go out in his pajamas, so this meant he had to change.
'Okay,' Kai looked through his dresser to find something appropriate to wear, forgetting his power was against the weather. The went through his clothing until he found his favorite hoodie, with his dragon symbol on it. With that was some casual clothing. His ninja suit wouldn't be good for wherever they were going. And for how long they were gone for, he had to bring something with him. Using Spinjitzu, he got into his hoodie, plain blood red shirt, dark jeans and normal red and white sneakers. He grabbed his phone and his personal 2DS System and ran outside to find Jay wearing his own casual clothing, unlike Kai, who can stay warm with his element, Jay and the rest of the ninja had to wear something to keep themselves warm. If Kai wasn't the master of fire, then he would be freezing right now. From where they stayed was entirely covered in snow. The whole deck was about a couple inches of snow covered and the ground reached almost to the top of the Bounty with snow. This part of Ninjago is so weird.
"Where are we going, Jay?" Kai asked.
"Follow me!"
And with that, Jay flew off of the Bounty's deck and into the air with his dragon. Kai followed him, and thankfully, they were going in the southern region on Ninjago, where it was warmer. This was all a mystery to Kai, but Jay planned it, so this will be the best day of his life.
Many things about the ninjas haven't been revealed. I have always believe that Kai and Cole are very different than they appear. This story will hopefully show that. Like Kai's favorite breakfast, not his favorite food, is in here, to me. I do hope you enjoyed this chapter and please review. Also, for people who have read my two other Ninjago stories, Dark Fire and Secrets of Red, something will appear familiar in the next chapter.
