Chapter 4!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything from Ninjago!

"WAH~!"

Their temper tantrums were still going strong, and they were still going about the tantrums when Nya, Lloyd, and Sensei Wu entered the room. Lloyd and Nya covered their ears while Sensei Wu gently placed the wailing ninjas on the four separate mattresses. He then backed away a little and took out a little ocarina out of his robe pocket. He blew soft, sweet, soothing notes in the ocarina and this calmed the ninjas a little.

"There, there, ninjas. Don't cry." Sensei Wu said gently. "Wipe those tears off your cheeks, okay?"

The ninjas nodded and rubbed their eyes. Then, they looked at Sensei Wu through shining wet eyes.

"I will fetch something nice and good to eat. It may not be candy, but you will like it. Until then, Nya and Lloyd will take care of you." Then, Sensei Wu left.

Nya and Lloyd didn't know what to do until Zane pulled out a book from under the mattress and handed it to Nya. Nya took it and looked at the title. It was called: Why Jack the Rabbit never trusts a snake. This was the same book that Sensei Wu read to Lloyd!

"Um, Lloyd, do you want to start?"

Lloyd nodded and began to read, with the ninjas listening very intently...


"...And that is why Jack the Rabbit never trusts a snake."

Sensei Wu was just coming in with the hot plates of soup when he heard the familiar line. The ninjas were squirming a little but otherwise were very good listeners. They looked at the doorway and Sensei Wu nodded. The first bowl he picked up, put the spoon in, blew on it, and gave it to Kai.

"Why does he get to go first?" Cole asked.

"Alright, alright, let's not fight." He gave the spoon to Cole, and Cole instantly slurped it. Eyes sparkling, Cole smiled and licked his lips. Sensei Wu then did the same with the other three ninjas, and the results were just as the same as Cole's. Aw~! After the meal was finished and the ninjas got ready for bed, Nya tucked them in.

"Good night, Kai..." Kai smiled.

"Good night, Zane..." Zane snuggled a bit in the blanket.

"Good night, Cole..." Cole smiled and said, "Good night..."

"Good night, Jay..." Jay sat up and kissed Nya on the cheek. Then, he snuggled in the blanket and said, "Good night, Miss Nya..."

Lloyd and Sensei Wu left, and Nya was about to leave when she heard a whimper. She turned and Jay was there, sitting up.

"Will you...sing me a song, Miss Nya?"

Nya was taken aback by this, but she sighed. She sat down next to Jay and Jay waited, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

Good night, sweet ninja.

You're the light of the dark.

You save and protect the world.

Your bite is worse than your bark. (Jay giggled at that line.)

You make the good smile.

And the bad fearful.

Don't you worry.

No need to be tearful.

I'll never ask for a better one.

You're the one who's always fun...

Three plus one equals four.

I can't ask for more...

Jay yawned and snuggled into bed, and Nya looked up to see the other three snuggle as well. Pretty soon, Nya left the four sleeping soundly to join Lloyd and Sensei Wu.


"Okay, now the problem is to find adequate babysitters for the ninjas..." Sensei Wu said.

"But who, Sensei? Who?" Lloyd asked.

"Yes, Sensei. Lloyd, you, and I have to take the ninjas' place in battle. Who's gonna care for them while we fight?"

Suddenly, the sound of bones bumping into bones was heard. Lloyd, Nya, and Sensei Wu ran out on the deck to find that Kruncha and Nuckal, two former minions of Lords Garmadon and Samukai, had crept out on the Bounty and somehow got themselves into a big mess of bones. While Nya was aghast and Lloyd confused, a twinkle resonated in Sensei's eyes.

'Well, well, looks like we found ourselves two babysitters...' Sensei Wu thought.


A/N: Big plot twist. 3 questions:

1) Do you think that Kruncha and Nuckal make good babysitters?

2) Do you think the ninjas will be entertained?

3) Did you think the night time scene was adorable?

Also, the music I use for Nya's song is Aryll's theme from Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker...
