So here's chapter 2! Big thanks to everyone who reviewed! That's the most reviews I have ever gotten! And that was only chapter 1! XD

I always forget to do this.

Disclaimer: I don't own Ninjago, blah blah blah, onto the story!

"And here comes Lexi! Oh, look, she's wearing the latest fashion. What was it called again? Oh yes, Dumpster Diva!" Laughter filled my ears, but I ignored it. Sandra, the richest girl at school, was picking on me again, but I held my head high and continued down the hall. Things were starting to look up for me, and i wasn't going to let her bring me down. I had a new friend, and I finally had enough money to get the Ninjago set! I strutted past the shocked faces of Sandra and her gang of fashion police and headed toward the cafeteria to meet Blake. I stepped into the large room and was greeted by two things. Complete silence, and the weight of a hundred eyes on me. I shrugged and made my way to the Corner of Shame.

The Corner of Shame was the losers area in the school. Only the ones at the bottom of the popularity chain sat there. Translation: Only Blake and I sat there. I used to hate it, but that was before I met Blake. The kid was seriously beginning to grow on me! But not the way your thinking. Or is it?

"Hi Lexi!" The cheerful voice of Blake broke my train of though.

"Hey Blake. What's up?" We chatted and ate our small meals until the darn bell ended our fun. I waved goodbye to Blake and set off to my next class.

After suffering through hours of torturous school and bullying, and sweeping, dusting, and organizing Bells 'n Whistles, I finally had the freedom to head to the toy store. I kept my head down and swiftly and quietly walked down the street. I had been robbed before, and wasn't too fond of the idea of having to save up more money until I was twenty.

I stopped in front of the store and took a deep breath. I lightly pushed open the door and shuffled my feet on the welcome mat. The light jingle of bells greeted me as I walked into the sweet smelling store. Smiling, I walked past the piles and shelves of toys. I wandered back to the LEGO section and got a pleasant surprise. Blake was standing in front of the very kit I had come here to buy! I grinned evilly and snuck up behind him. I poked his back and he whirled around and took a fighting stance. I lost it when i saw the serious look on his face. He groaned when he saw it was me.

"Lexi! You scared me half to death!" I stopped laughing and grinned.

"Good to see you too. So what are you doing here?" He shrugged.

"It's my eleventh birthday tomorrow! All I really want is for my dad to get better. Although, this awesome Ninjago set would be nice, too!" We laughed. Then the gears began to turn in my head. After Blake said goodbye and left, I quickly made my purchase and dashed home, a broad smile on my face.

Package in hand, I made my way over to Blake's house. I snuck up to his front door and quietly sat the package down. I giggled and rang the doorbell, then ran to my hiding place. I watched as he opened the door and looked around. A puzzled look appeared on his face when he noticed no one was there. I snickered. He went to close the door, but noticed the package and tilted his head. I clapped my hands as he reached down to grab it. As he read the note, I recalled what I had written on it.

'To my dear friend Blake.

Happy Birthday! I hope you like it! I was originally going to purchase it for myself, but after giving it some thought, I realized that you deserved it more. Enjoy!

Your friend,

Lexi'

Streaching my arms, I swung my legs off my bed. I went to reach for my backpack, but remembered it was Saturday! Excited, I threw my clothes on and over to Blake's house. I was hoping to play Ninjago with him, since I got him the new set. I walked up to the door, but before I could knock, it swung open, revealing Blake's excited face. Actually, excited is an understatement. He snatched my hand and yanked me inside.

"Whoa, Blake! What's going on?" He looked back at me.

"So, yesterday, after I got the set from you- Thanks so much, by the way- I began working on it right away. I was so excited! About halfway through, I decided to check on my dad. Usually he is asleep or lying in pain on the bed, but he was sitting up and reading! It was so crazy, I ran over to him and freaked out! He said 'I feel so much better, son! It's amazing!'. I decided to let him read and continued building my set. But when I was done, guess what happened!" I shrugged and shook my head.

"I don't know. What?" His smile grew. He started to talk, but was interrupted by someone I hadn't noticed before. I jumped. An older man was sitting on the couch, eating a bowl of cold soup.

"I walked for the first time in months. Months! I came out to see what my son was doing. I think I nearly gave him a heart attack!" He laughed. Blake smiled.

"He hasn't done that in months, either." I bit my lip. I was so happy for them, but a little voice inside my head whispered 'That could have been you and your mom'.

"I-I have to go, Blake. See you later!" He waved and ploped down on the couch next to his dad. My eyes began to water as I exited their house. I trudged home, thinking of all the things I could be doing with my mother if she wasn't sick. I was so busy feeling sorry for myself that I didn't notice the package in front of the door until it was too late. Cursing myself for my clumsiness, I brushed off my hands and searched for the thing that had caused me to befriend gravity. The box caught my eye and, being the curious girl I am, I picked it up. Shaking it, I heard the sound of little pieces moving around. My eyes widened. Excitement coarsed through me as I ran inside and ripped open the box. It was the LEGO set! But there was no note on it. I had no idea who it was from. Oh well, that's a problem for later! Right now, it's time to get building!

So how was it? The action starts in the next chapter. Review review review! Oh, and here's the chapter question. Cheesy, I know. :)

Who's your favorite ninja? Mine is Cole.
