Chapter Three: Attack of the Piranhas! Oh, and Friendship Tests…

"Pizza delivery!" Kai yelled as he walked into the rundown cafeteria in the school.

Instant shouts of excitement tore through the air, right before the two errand boys were overwhelmed by the rest of their team. Kai and Zane quickly dropped the boxes on the table, before snagging a pile of paper plates. Sensei reached his arm out and stopped the other elderly man, Zane's father, who is known as Dr. Julian, from getting closer to the boxes. "Wait a minute…"

All six of the teens drifted away from the boxes, chatting casually amongst each other as they sat down to eat the food that was piled high on their plates. Dr. Julian followed Sensei to the table, only to widen his eyes in shock upon noticing that out of the three large pizzas only two skimpy slices were left.

"Hmm, at least they were somewhat considerate. Typically they forget to leave something for me." Sensei grabbed one of the slices.

Dr. Julian wondered what exactly he was getting into as he picked up his slice, nibbling on the still hot pizza slice. "I take it that this is normal?"

"Hmm, with how much energy they burn up every day, especially when they have a mission, it's a miracle that they don't eat more. I've learned to when doing take out to wait for them to fill their plates first." Sensei nodded to the now empty pizza boxes.

Dr. Julian nodded in agreement, amazed on how much his son and his friends could eat in one seating.

"Sweet! There's a new video game coming out guys, we should totally buy it!" Lloyd flipped through a video game magazine.

"Cool." Jay leaned forward, before pointing to something on one of the pages. "There's a test to see how good of a friend you are…I bet we can ace that!"

Cole frowned as he scanned the questions. "Not really. It says here that one of the questions is whether or not your friend as a scar and were they got it. None of us no where Kai got his scar."

Kai instinctively touched the scar on the right side of his face. "Like I'll ever tell you how I got my scar."

"Nya!" Jay whined as he rolled his eyes skyward.

Nya frowned, before lowering her pizza, a frown on her face. "Umm, that is a good question. How did you get your scar, Kai?"

Kai blinked, before taking a large bite out of his pizza. "Sis…you were with me when I got it…don't you remember?" Kai finally swallowed his mouth full of food.

"Nooo… why? What happened?" Nya knitted her eyebrows in confusion and worry.

"Nothing. It was just a…wild animal." Kai shook his head at her.

Zane frowned, sensing that it was in fact not a wild animal. "That is a lie Kai."

Kai glared at the nindroid, grabbing a can of Red Cream Soda. Popping it open, he poured some of the contents down his throat. "It is to true."

Cole pretended that his hands were scales and that he was figuring out how much something weighed. "Believe the dude that can sense when a guy lies…and he can't lie himself, or the guy that is arguing with him." Kai scowled at the ninja of earth as he smirked back at him. "What do you know…we're going with Zane on this one."

Kai threw a random object at him out of annoyance. "Come on…you're supposed to back me up here."

Cole laughed as he ducked the object. "Hey Jay, what's the first question on the quiz?"

Jay leaned forward, and promptly grinned. "Favorite dessert."

"Oh that's easy! Popsicles for Zane, cake for Cole. Jay, you like cotton candy…Lloyd has a weird fascination with chocolate." "It's not weird! You're the weird one who won't even eat the stuff!" "Nya likes strawberry shortcake…and I like…"

"Banana Cream Pie." All the others finished Kai's sentence for him.

Kai rolled his eyes, before gesturing to Jay. "What's next on the list?"

"Umm, dream job?" Lloyd glanced up at the others.

Jay immediately pointed to Zane. "Celebrity chef." He flicked his finger over to Nya. "Mechanic…not inventor." Jay turned to face Cole. "Lumberjack…which is just plain weird." He then turned to face Kai. "I'm actually not too sure about you. Either its being a ninja fulltime or you want to surprise us."

Nya rolled her eyes as she picked her can of pop, Ginger Ale. "He wants to be a country singer. He even knows how to play guitar." "Nya!" She ignored Kai's outbreak, turning to face Jay. "And you want to be a famous inventor."

Lloyd snorted as he sipped at his pop, Root Beer. "Love how none of you guessed what my dream job is."

Kai glanced over to the youngest ninja, a grin crossing his face. "Does professional stunt double for movie actors ring a bell?"

Lloyd choked at that, his eyes widening in horror. "What?! No! I never even told you guys about that!"

All of the friends burst out in laughter at that, doubling over as they sniggered at Lloyd's panic. "Ok ok… next question please!"

"Favorite song? Seriously…that's easy!" Jay rolled his eyes, before all of them spoke in unison. "Weekend Whip!" Jay turned back to the friendship quiz. "Hmm, favorite movie?"

Kai narrowed his eyes. "Does anyone even know each other's favorite movies?"

They glanced at each other, surprise flashing across their features. Lloyd timidly raised a hand. "Do favorite video games count?"

Jay scratched the back of his neck, his face scrunching up in thought. "I have a favorite movie series…but I can't pick a favorite movie out of those if my life depends on it."

Kai waved, a smile dancing on his features. "Skip that one. What's next?"

"It's the scar one…"

"Skip that one…we don't have all day to argue on whether or not it's a wild animal or not."

"Ok… favorite color!"

Everyone burst out laughing at that, most of them glancing down at what they were wearing. Kai arched his eyebrow upwards as he looked at Jay. "Seriously? The majority of us probably have all of Ninjago knowing what they are."

Cole nodded his head in agreement, before speaking up. "They probably think that Nya and I wear our favorite colors all the time too."

"Aren't you two orange and blue?" Lloyd questioned them.

Both of them nodded in confirmation. Kai shifted slightly, glancing back at Sensei and Dr. Julian. He raised his pop in greeting to them before turning his attention back to the questions on the quiz.

A/N: Done! Phew… uh, looks like they really know each other really well. Before you ask, I have a weird head cannon that Kai is deadly allergy to chocolate, which is why he called Lloyd's enjoyment of it crazy. Um…yeah.
