Me: Sorry for the long delay, me and my class were preparing for our Christmas Party. Anyway, just to remind you, Zane still looks 'humanly' in here. This is only after season 2, and so... here's my favorite chappie!

TonyCapcon: Pika belongs to me!

Normal POV!

The next day, Nya woke up with a yawn. She glanced at the clock and saw that it was only six. 'The others are probably still asleep.' she thought as she sat up and stretched. Her eyes landed on the calendar and her expression saddened. 'Oh yeah, today's my birthday. And nobody knows.' she thought before adding, 'Maybe they remembered now...?'

Her train of thoughts were cut short when there was a knock on the door. She sighed and stood up. She walked groggily towards the door in her pajamas and opened the door only to be surprised by the person in front of her. "Kai?"

"Hey Nya!" her brother beamed happily as Nya raised a brown. What was her brother doing up so early? And in her room, too. She didn't have anything against her brother, but he rarely visits her for nothing. It would always be Jay or Zane and sometimes Cole.

"Um," Nya said awkwardly as the red ninja continued to stand there with a smile. "What brings you here, Kai?"

The said ninja bit his lip. "Uh, I've noticed that we haven't hung out much ever since I became a ninja..." he started as Nya listened intently. "So I thought, why not go out and have a family bond?"

Nya smiled. "Sure! I'll just go get ready and then I'll call the othe–"

"Wait!" Kai stopped her from closing the door with his foot. "I know we're a family now, but I wanted to have this day with my sister, only." he explained a little sheepishly. "Just you and me, sis."

Nya thought for a moment. 'Pika will be here soon, but Kai has a point.' she thought as the said ninja smiled innocently. 'Maybe she can wait...' she shot him a genuine smile as Kai shifted on his spot nervously. Her brother wasn't normally good at showing he cared, except for being protective. "Okay..." she replied making the fire ninja smile at her. "I'll go change."

Normal POV!

Electric blue eyes watched as the Smith siblings walked away from the bounty laughing with each other. His eyes mainly on the female as they disappeared out of sight. Once the two were gone, the owner of the eyes leaned back from his peeking spot and face two other ninjas.

"So?" Cole asked as Jay grinned at them.

"They're gone." Jay informed them.

Zane smirked. "Let's get this party started!"

~•~

Normal POV!

"Yeah, and remember that one time I accidentally fed you using a knife instead of a spoon?" Kai laughed.

"That was dangerous, though." Nya giggled as she remembered that moment.

They were talking about that time their father left to sell some weapons while Kai was left to babysit Nya. Kai was only four that time and Nya was three. Let's just say, it didn't go well.

"You call that dangerous?" Kai smirked. "It wasn't until you complained and threw your hands up making me slice my eyebrow with the knife."

"Ooh~" Nya winced slightly, as if she could feel the sting Kai felt years ago. "So sorry about that."

"That's okay." he waved her off. "We were kids back then." he smiled. "Besides, it's was my fault for confusing a knife over a spoon."

The two shared another good laugh before their laughter eventually died down and the two were surrounded by comfortable silence.

Kai sighed contently as Nya hummed. It had been a long time since the two had spent some time together. Sure, they've been together before Sensei Wu ever came, but they were always working. They never had the chance to enjoy themselves.

"Hey Nya?" Kai smiled softly as the said girl hummed in reply. "Remember those times when you used to call me by my nicknames?"

Nya paused. "Oh, that. Yeah, I remember. Why?" she said as she continued walking.

"I was wondering..." Kai trailed off making his sister look at him. "Why'd you stop calling me those?"

"Ehm..." Nya scratched her cheek lightly as she averted her eyes. "I thought it was a little childish, so I decided to just call you by your name."

Kai furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at his sister. "It wasn't childish, it was actually cute."

Nya smiled. "Yeah but I thought that if I continued calling you by your nicknames, I'd only embarrass you..." she said quietly.

"Nya..." Kai said, his features softening. "You never embarrassed me." he said sincerely making Nya look at him. "In fact, I'm proud I have a sister like you." he smirked. "When I found out that my sister was the Samurai X, I felt so proud and I thought, 'Looks like I'm not the only one in the family that's good at kicking butts!'"

Nya giggled as Kai mimicked his own thoughts with 'show-off' voice. "You really think that?"

Kai stopped. "Well, yeah..." he smiled. "Why wouldn't I?"

Kai and Nya shared a smile before making their way to the park with contented looks.

Normal POV!

"Cole!" Jay growled as he chased the black ninja around the kitchen. "No, NO! DON'T YOU DARE EAT THAT CAKE!"

Cole laughed as the blue ninja chased him. He hugged the chocolate cake closer as he stuck out his tongue at the lightning master. "Catch me if you can!"

Jay groaned as he continued to chase after the earth ninja. "And I thought I was the child in this group."

Misako poked her head from the living room. "Technically, Lloyd is." she said as she leaned against the kitchen's doorframe.

"Misako!" Jay cried out. "Help me get the cake from Cole!" he said as the said ninja smirked.

Misako was still the same as before. Her gray and white hair was tied into a braid on her back, she was still wearing that same old white polo shirt and green pants as well as her brown satchel. Her jade green eyes were still filled with curiosity and seeks adventure, but right now, it was full of amusement.

Misako shrugged. "You do it. Aren't you supposed to be the fastest one in the group?"

"That's what I told him!" Cole said as he sat on the counter.

Jay glared at him but the black ninja only shrugged. "I'm not that fast."

"Hate to burst your bubbles," Lloyd said, entering the room with a banner that read, 'Happy Birthday Nya' in his hand. "But you're out of shape, Jay."

Lloyd was still the same, but he was a bit taller than last time. His blonde curly hair grew a little longer, his ninja gi became a darker shade of green, and his light green eyes read maturity. He sure wasn't the child they once knew.

Jay froze and looked down at his stomach. He wasn't fat, but his abs weren't as visible as before anymore. He narrowed his eyes at the green ninja. "I'm not fat! You're just muscular!"

Lloyd chuckled at Jay's protest. "That's the point. Among all of us, you're the least muscular one."

Jay gawked at the blonde boy. Is he seriously calling him fat? "Wha...?" he blushed as the other three smirked. "W–Well, Zane doesn't count! He's a robot."

"..."

"..."

"Fair point." Lloyd said as Jay smiled in victory. The green ninja only shook his head and walked away with Misako –who decided to help her son with the banner.

When Lloyd was gone, Garmadon came into the kitchen. His grey and white hair was the same as Lloyd's, and he was wearing a grey and green ninja gi for senseis. It was as if he and Misako had matching clothes! His once red eyes filled with anger, hatred, and evil was now a pair of soft wise lime green eyes. He looked at the two as his left hand was on his back and the other was holding his staff. "What was with the shouting?"

Jay frowned and pointed at the black ninja accusingly while Cole just sat on the counter innocently. "Cole's trying to eat the cake."

"I wasn't!"

"Cole..." Garmadon warned.

"What?" Cole asked. "I'm sure she won't mind. I doubt she'd be able to finish all of this." he shrugged.

"If you eat that cake," Garmadon began as he turned around, looking at the earth ninja over his shoulder with dull eyes. "I'm telling Nya that you were the one who put that bucket full of water at the door."

Cole gulped and laughed nervously, placing the cake on the counter. He knew very well what he was talking about.

It was that time when dressed up for her date with Jay, but as she walked out, a bucket full of water fell on her, making herself drenched in water. Their date was canceled after that.

"S–Sorry about that." Cole stammered, leaving the cake on the counter.

"I thought so..." Garmadon said, going out of the kitchen.

Cole sighed in relief when once he was gone and turned to become face to face with Jay's frowning face. "What?"

Jay glared. "You were the one who caused Nya to cancel our date?!"

'Uh oh'
