Lloyd
Lloyd was, despite being the Green Ninja of Legend, still a child.
A child who was, even after all these years, still not quite used to how much bigger he was than he was supposed to be.
Because of this, Lloyd still forgot that he was too big to fit in certain spaces.
Spaces that included the kid's playground at Ninja-Ninja's.
Jay was laughing so hard, Lloyd was sure he was going to burst.
His laughter got the attention of Cole and Kai, one of which joined Jay in falling over from the laughter and the other who was Kai, looking like he was doing his very best not to laugh.
Lloyd was stuck in the tube slide.
Lloyd Garmadon, the Green Ninja who defeated the Dark Lord, was stuck in the tube slide of a kiddie play area, and his hair was standing up because of the static.
"Laugh. I know you want to." Lloyd wiggled to try and get himself unstuck, but if anything, he was more stuck than before.
"It's not funny," Kai said, looking away from Lloyd.
Kai coughed.
Kai turned as red as his suit and joined Cole and Jay on the floor, laughing so hard he couldn't even make a sound and clapped his hands whenever he managed to catch his breath.
Lloyd wished he had laser eyes, because if he did, he could laser Kai in half for finding amusement in his suffering.
"Hey!" the kid behind Lloyd cried. "Move your butt!"
Lloyd pushed the kid back with his foot. The kid licked his foot. Lloyd started wishing that he kicked instead of gently push.
The three others had tears coming out of their eyes from laughing so hard once Lloyd told them that the kid had licked his foot.
By the time Zane came to see where everybody else had gone, Lloyd had given up hope and resigned himself to a life of being stuck in a hole.
"Lloyd, how did you get stuck in there?" Zane asked, sounding both confused and amused. "You are too big to play in there."
"Tell me about it!" the kid behind Lloyd groaned. Lloyd stuck his foot in the kid's mouth.
He forgot that the mouth is the place teeth are kept.
"OW!"
Lloyd could trust Zane.
Lloyd could trust Zane, because no matter how much the Nindroid wanted to laugh, he still went to get help in the form of Nya and several sticks of butter.
Nya hid her face in her hands and cried. "This is why I don't go out in public with you guys!"
Cole smeared the butter around Lloyd's middle. He got hit with a lot of static electricity, which caused his hair to stand up almost as much as Lloyd's, but much more obviously because of Cole's black hair and Lloyd's light hair.
Jay knocked on the plastic tube. "Hey, you still there, foot-kid?"
"My name's Timmy!" the foot-kid answered.
"Timmy, we buttered our buddy, so if you could just push him a little so we can get him out, we'll be very happy," Jay told the foot-kid.
"What if he farts?" the foot-kid asked.
"Then we'll put up a statue for you," Kai told the foot-kid. "Right here, so everybody will remember little Timmy, who was farted to death."
The foot-kid giggled.
Lloyd did not.
"Kai, sometimes I can't believe we're related," Nya scolded. Kai winked at her. She hissed at him.
It must've been quite the sight, with Kai and Zane on either side of Lloyd, pulling him by the arms, while Nya had him by the head and Cole had him by the torso.
And then, there was the fact that Jay crawled in and was helping the foot-kid push Lloyd.
Just wait, Lloyd thought to himself. You'll get stuck too when you try to get out.
A couple of confused staff members and curious customers came to the area when they saw what was happening and took photos and videos.
Nya let go of Lloyd's head and shooed the people away, threatening to drench them in water if they didn't.
Pop.
Lloyd shot out, landing on top of the least soft ninja in all of Ninjago, the Titanium Ninja.
Life was unfair.
Lloyd was more sure of that now than ever before.
Jay, the one who laughed his head off at Lloyd for getting stuck, slipped out without getting stuck.
"It's because you have more muscle," Zane told Lloyd. "Kai, Cole, Nya and I would've all gotten stuck too."
"It's unfair." Lloyd folded his arms. "I get stuck and laughed at, and he has no problem getting out."
"You have more muscle," Kai said, repeating Zane's statement. "And there was still butter left over from when we had to unstick you, so he had an easier time getting out."
"I wish I had laser eyes," Lloyd said as Jay and Nya got in the car. Jay tensed up and Nya shot Lloyd a dirty look, as if he said some kind of horrible swearword.
"Don't say that," Nya scolded as Jay started the car. "Never say that again."
Lloyd grinned. Finally, something that would cause Jay's peppy mood to stop.
"Laser eyes!" Lloyd shouted. "Laser eyes, laser eyes, laser eyes!"
"Lloyd, people are staring," Kai sighed, leaning back as he spoke. Lloyd, still not quite rid of all the static electricity he gathered in the play area, poked Kai and gave him a shock. Kai let out a shout. "I thought Jay was the Master of Lighting, not you!"
Jay let out a laugh.
Nya hid her face again.
"Guys, you're going to have to scoot over or someone's getting sat on," Cole warned when he opened the car door.
Nya climbed over to the back seat. "You can go sit there," she said, gesturing to her former seat. Cole accepted her gesture with a grateful smile.
Lloyd sighed.
"Maybe we can go to Mega Monster Amusement Park next week," Nya suggested. "They don't have any rides to get stuck on."
Lloyd glared at her. She giggled.
Lloyd stopped glaring. It was no use.
Kai fell asleep on Zane's shoulder, while the Nindroid looked very surprised.
Lloyd focused the rest of his attention on the little ninja/squirrel hybrid toy he got with his kiddie meal.
He didn't want to focus on the other ninjas.
They were bugging him.
I'm aware that the tube things aren't that small in the kiddie playgrounds, I just made them smaller for amusement. I also want to fully explore Lloyd's relationship with the other ninjas before the good stuff begin. Previous chapter: Jay. This chapter: Kai. Please say who Lloyd is supposed to be bugged by next in the review section if you want.
