DISCLAIMER: I don't own Ninjago!

We all fell asleep after we got into our pajamas. Lloyd screams in our faces to wake us up the next morning. I literally jump 5 feet into the air after he chants "CHRISTMAS TIME! WAKE UP, ZANE!" directly into my ear. I stare at him in bewilderment.

I mutter, "What is the big deal?" I roll over onto my side, not amused, and tug the covers over my head, trying to block Lloyd from my senses.

"What's the big deal?" Cole chuckles, smacking me with his pillow repetitively. "It's Christmas! Santa came!"

This catches my interest. I sit bolt upright. "Did we get gifts?"

"Duh!" Lloyd snaps.

"OK, OK, I'm coming!" I stretch and snake out of bed, putting on slippers.

Cole and Lloyd force Jay and Kai awake as I make my bed, pulling the sterile-looking white covers to the top edge of my bed. I glance out the window, seeing that the snow has stuck. Our snowman we made yesterday stayed, too. It wasn't pushed over by the freak windstorm last night.

All five of us race to the living room, but find one lone present under the tree. "Is it for all of us?" Jay ponders, crawling closer towards it.

Lloyd beats him to it. "It says it's for me!" He examines it closer.

Jay whimpers, "Nothing for us? Zip?"

Cole reaches for his stocking. He dumps it onto the floor. "Wha—"

"Just what you always wanted!" Kai laughs. He grabs his own stocking and peeks into it. His expression saddens. "How could this be?"

Jay's is also filled with the earthy material. I can sense it. Even mine! But Lloyd's was filled with miniature toys and candies of all sizes. "It seems this 'Santa' has his favorites," I guess.

"No kidding," Lloyd says gleefully as he sorts through his stocking.

I can feel Kai getting angry with Lloyd and fate, since he thrust his stocking onto the ground. His name on the oversized sock glitters like embers in the streak of daylight from the window. I step towards him, hoping to calm him down. "Kai—"

Kai shouts, "Lloyd! You did this!" He juts his finger at Lloyd. "He got mad for us saying Santa was fake and he sabotaged our Christmas! He got himself a present and ditched ours!"

Cole sighs, "Yeah, and it was Zane's first, also!" He shot me a look of pity. I am not sure how to react to everyone's attitudes. I shrug.

I ask thoughtfully, "Cole, would you like my coal?"

Cole puts his palm to his forehead and releases an over exaggerated sigh. "Zane, I want presents. Not coal. I'm a good kid!"

I drop the rock back into my white stocking. "Fine."

Kai, who was still fuming, stomps into our room. "All of it! It's Lloyd's fault!"

The door slams closed, and we look over at Lloyd. "Lloyd, is this true?" I ask sadly.

"No! I didn't! I swear!" Lloyd denies, almost tearful. "I don't know who could've done it!" He whimpers and stares at his present. He carefully pulls the wrapping paper off. He gasps.

Cole leans in closer and squeaks, "What is that?!"

Lloyd picks up a smoke bomb. "It's a bomb! It's set for—"

He never did complete his sentence. We have to evacuate the Destiny's Bounty before peppermint-scented steam fills our lungs. We pull our masks on and Spinjitzu out of the property.

Kai yells, "Lloyd, you even set a smoke bomb and everything?"

Lloyd is riled up now and ready to wrestle Kai to the ground. I manage to step in between them before anything else gets tenser. I push against their chests as they dash towards each other. "Help!"

Cole grasps Kai and Jap tries his best to handle Lloyd, but Lloyd keeps shocking him with lightning. Jay is getting beat by his own element!

Sensei finds us outside and holds up a note. "This was under the tree! It says, 'Enjoy your Christmas present! I'll be up where you will never find me! Muahaha!'"

"No way it actually has an evil cackle written on it," Nya groans. "Looks like our little friend has plans for the holidays!"

"Evil never rests, Nya," Sensei sighs. "I'm afraid my brother is up to this."

"Naw, really?!" we gripe sarcastically.

"Well, he left us a hint," Cole decides. "'I'll be UP where you will never find me!'"

I question, "In outer space?"

Lloyd corrects, "The North Pole, Zane. The North Pole."
