The bell rang as the door opened. Skylor looked up as Kai and Lloyd walked in.

"Hey fellas," Skylor smiled at them. "What can I do for you today? Lunch because Cole's cooking? Bad guy on the loose?"

"Actually, we were hoping we could talk about something in private," Kai said quietly.

"Right this way," Skylor replied.

Kai and Lloyd followed her into the back of the restaurant, away from anyone else. Skylor lead them into an office room. She closed the door once they were in to give them privacy.

"Alright, so what's so important that we need to be in private for it?" Skylor asked.

She sat behind the desk, across from Kai and Lloyd.

"Well, Lloyd," Kai said, looking at the green ninja.

Lloyd looked down, feeling anxious. He had already been told Ali wasn't real and didn't want to get the same response again.

"Lloyd, come on," Kai encouraged him.

"I'm not going to get mad," Skylor told him.

"Do you know Ali?" Lloyd asked.

Skylor let in a sharp inhale. She looked at Kai.

"I think the two of us will need some space," she said.

"You know what he's talking about?" Kai asked.

"Kai, please," Skylor said. "A moment alone with Lloyd."

"Alright," Kai sighed.

Kai got up and left the room. Lloyd turned and looked at Skylor. He could see she was tensed up.

"How do you know about her?" Skylor's tone darkened.

"What?" Lloyd asked, startled.

"Who told you about her?" Skylor asked.

"That's the thing," Lloyd replied quietly. "She did."

"How did you come in contact with her?" Skylor demanded. "She's suppose to be in hiding."

"It's a long story," Lloyd told her.

"How did you find Ali?" Skylor demanded, glaring at Lloyd.

"Alright, I'll tell you," Lloyd said. "I don't know if it was in another world or if it was a dream, but I fell down a waterfall with Kai, then stumbled across her at the bottom of it. She saved us, healed us, and then helped us defeat Morro. Then she stayed with us, the two of us got married and had a baby girl, and then something happened and now I'm here," Lloyd told her. "It's like I'm in a completely different timeline where we never met her."

Skylor sighed, thinking about everything Lloyd just told her.

"It was too real to have been a dream, yet no one believes me," Lloyd sighed, putting his head in his hands.

"I do," Skylor said softly.

"You do?" Lloyd looked up at her.

"I read your mind as you were tell me all that," Skylor said. "I can see how much she meant to you and that everything you said happened to you."

"How come no one else remembers her, though?" Lloyd asked.

"How about this," Skylor said. "You and I will keep in touch. I'll get in touch with Ali herself and ask her what she thinks of the situation. Then I'll look into everything that happened to you and see what I can find."

"I guess that will work," Lloyd agreed. "What will I do?"

"I need you to not mention her name to the others again," Skylor said. "If they go looking for her, who knows what might happen to any of you."

"Alright, thanks Skylor," Lloyd smiled.

"Talk to you later, then," Skylor said.

Lloyd nodded. He turned and walked out. He found Kai back to flirting with a customer. They splashed their drink on him and walked away from him. Kai looked after them, then at himself before turning to Lloyd.

"You got soaked," Lloyd chuckled.

"I don't want to hear it," Kai moaned.

Skylor chuckled as she walked up behind Kai and Lloyd. She wrapped her arms around Kai's waist, grinning at him.

"Never change, Kai," she laughed. "Otherwise, you will never get a soda to the face again."

Lloyd and Skylor both broke out in laughter. Kai rolled his eyes, smiling.

"Alright, I'll be in touch with you, Lloyd," Skylor said.

"Ok, bye," Lloyd smiled.

Kai and Lloyd left the restaurant. Kai didn't question what happened behind the closed door. He didn't feel the need to. Lloyd was acting more like his old self anyways. Things looked like they were normal again.

Lloyd could hear the others in the gaming room that night. He sat at the base of the tree, staring up at the stars. He couldn't take his mind off of Ali at the moment, and he felt like the fresh air would help. Instead, it only made him think of her more.

"I wish I could understand what happened," Lloyd said softly.

"I sense something is bothering you, nephew," Sensei spoke.

Lloyd glanced over his shoulder. Sensei stood a couple feet away from him. Lloyd shook his head and turned away from Sensei.

"What is on your mind?" Sensei asked.

"It's nothing," Lloyd replied.

"Then why are you not playing with your brothers?" Sensei asked.

Lloyd went silent.

"As I thought," Sensei replied.

"I just needed to clear my mind," Lloyd claimed, knowing he was lying. "It's nothing big, honestly."

Sensei wasn't going to buy it, but he was going to give his nephew time to think everything through on his own. He would seek help when he needs it.

"Alright," Sensei said.

Lloyd glanced over his shoulder, seeing Sensei walking back inside. He turned back, looking at the stars. (Song: Slipped Away by Avril Lavigne)

"Nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah," Lloyd said to himself. "I miss you, miss you so bad. I don't forget you, oh, it's so sad."

Lloyd's eyes landed on the brightest star in the sky. It almost looked like it winked at him.

"I hope you can hear me," Lloyd sang. "I remember it clearly. The day you slipped away, was the day I found it won't be the same, oh. Nah nah, la la la, nah nah."

Lloyd pushed himself up off the ground. His eyes remained locked onto the star.

"I didn't get around to kiss you goodbye on the hand," Lloyd sang softly. "I wish that I could see you again, I know that I can't. Oh, I hope you can hear me 'cause I remember it clearly."

Lloyd turned and looked back at the tree. He could picture the day he and Ali sat at the base of it, singing together.

"The day you slipped away, was the day I found it won't be the same, oh," Lloyd sang.

An image of Ali flashed before him. She walked towards him.

"I had my wake up, won't you wake up. I keep asking why," Lloyd sang. "And I can't take it, it wasn't fake. It happened you passed by."

Lloyd reached out to take her hand, but she disappeared. She was gone. He was alone.

"Now you're gone, now you're gone. There you go, there you go, somewhere I can't bring you back. Now you're gone, now you're gone. There you go, there you go, somewhere you're not coming back."

Lloyd fell to his knees, tears sparking in his eyes.

"The day you slipped away, was the day I found it won't be the same, no. The day you slipped away, was the day that I found it won't be the same, oh."

Lloyd's right hand clenched his shirt over his heart. Tears ran down his cheeks.

"Nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah," Lloyd mumbled. "I miss you."

Then he passed out on the ground under the tree. He wasn't found the next morning.
