STORY 4
THE SNOW HAS FALLEN
The first few days of December have been cold and shivering to think about. The last two weeks of November had been the calling of winter. It was either forty degrees or below during that time. It was never a coincidence for snow to start towards the end of November in Ninjago, but this year it started at the beginning of December. It was the first Friday of the month. The night before became so cold that snow decided to sneak its way into Ninjago City. The whiteness showed so much and covered the entire city. The Garmadons home was extremely covered with the thick white frost. Luckily the heater was on and the inside of the house was nice and warm. Everyone was asleep. Even Garmadon was still sleeping and it was almost seven in the morning. The sun didn't shine through the window like it usually did. The snow was so bright that it lit up Garmadon and Misako`s entire room. This made Garmadon open up his eyes and look at the alarm clock. He shot up in bed.
"Misako, get up," Garmadon said.
"What?" Misako asked, opening her eyes, "What's going on?"
"It's seven in the morning. I'm late for work, Lloyd and Cedrai are late for school and-"
"Garmadon, you cancelled your classes and school is closed today." Misako sat up in bed, grabbing her glasses off her nightstand.
"Now why in the world would I cancel classes and the city close up all schools today?"
"It started snowing last night." Misako grabbed her bathrobe and started putting it on. "It looks like the snow is still falling."
Garmadon looked to see that it was snowing and more continued to fall. It was falling all over the place, whiteness erasing the green of the grass. Sighing, Garmadon walked up to his side of the bed and grabbed his bathrobe. He opened the door to walk out of the room. "I'm going to wake the boys up. I suppose you could say that once the snow falls, the children are ready to play."
"You just made that up."
"Well, it's my new saying for the wintertime. I'll go and get my gong."
While Garmadon left out of his bedroom, Lloyd was still sleeping inside his bed, wrapped up tightly in his blanket. The snow was still falling and the cold was seeping in through the window, even though it was closed. Tired of the cold air blowing on his face, Lloyd opened his eyes and sat up in bed. He stopped rubbing his eyes and looked over at the window, seeing frost covering the glass. He grew suspicious and walked over to see snow falling on the ground. His excitement took the best out of him as he opened the door to his room, seeing his father standing in front of him with the gong in his hand. Lloyd screamed when he saw him.
"What?" Garmadon asked, "You're already awake?"
"Cold air seeped through the window and I woke up," Lloyd said, "Then I saw snow falling outside."
"I only have two rules about this day. Dress warm and eat breakfast. Since you're already up, why don't you go and wake up Cedrai?"
"Gotcha, Dad."
Lloyd ran down the hall in search of the spare room where Cedrai was in. He knocked on the door, but nobody answered. He decided there was only one thing to do. It was best to barg in and figure out what was going on. When Lloyd walked in, he saw Cedrai still in bed, not moving a muscle. Thinking it would be funny, Lloyd ran up and jumped on top of his friend. Cedrai woke up with a scream and looked directly at Lloyd, not happy to see what was going on.
"Lloyd, what are you doing?" Cedrai asked.
"Waking you up," Lloyd said, "Come on. It's the first snow day of the year."
"No thanks. I'm gonna sit snow days out this year."
"What are you talking about? Nobody stays inside on a snow day. There the only weather days where people have no choice but to close school."
"Lloyd, I've been on the run for two years. Do you think that I've been in a nice, warm comfortable house whenever it started snowing in the winter? No way. I hid out in a log cabin with nothing but a fireplace and a blanket to keep me warm. I will say that it didn't keep me warm all that much. I'd also like to point out that snow days aren't my thing so from now on, all winter weather days are out."
"Come on, Cedrai, things have changed. You've gotta stop thinking about the past and start living up to the future. You no longer have to worry about anything. You're living with a family full of ninjas."
"If you haven't noticed before Lloyd, there is something to worry about. My brother is still out there and I know good and well that he's planning something to take over Ninjago. It's time to stay out of his way. He's only picking on you guys because I decided to join up with you. Sorry, Lloyd."
"Fine. Have it your way. I'll find some other friends to spend this valuable day out of school with."
Cedrai placed the covers back over his head. He wasn't getting up anytime soon. Lloyd decided to leave, seeing that Cedrai was acting like a little kid. Lloyd knew that he was right. Cedrai was living with a group of heroes that were willing to protect him at all cost. He would do anything to help him. Unfortunately, now was not the right time. He closed Cedrai`s door and walked downstairs to the kitchen. The day had to start sooner or later.
The sea of sands was only covered in an inch of snow. It was still below freezing all around the place. The city of Oraborous was covered in frost, but there were fires being made everywhere around the city. As reptiles, snakes are cold blooded, which means that they don't last very well around freezing weather. They did all that they could to keep themselves warm. Most of everyone was around the slither court. Some had walked inside and started preparing for trial. After three and a half months of hypnotizing and being forced to do one man's bidding, also seeing that they had been tricked, the Serpentine decided that it was time to do something about Over. Weather it was placing him to rot in jail or send him to one of the underground tombs, they would figure something out.
As the Serpentine were making their way inside the courtroom, the three generals from the Constrictai, Venomari and Fangpyre entered and sat down at the large table that was placed in front of the stand. The remaining snakes had just entered the courtroom and as everyone sat, a fellow Serpentine that worked as a patrolman for the court started giving out the beginning procedure.
"All rise for the honorable Skales, general of the Hypnobrai army and future leader of the Serpentine," the snake said.
Skales entered the courtroom wearing a fancy silk scarf around his neck and sat on the stand. He took out a flute and blew into it to make sure he had everyone's attention. He placed it back on the smooth desktop and stared straight at the door. "Send in the prisoner!" Two snakes came in with Over as they had chains placed around his arms and legs. He made no eye contact with anyone in the room. The snake on the left side of him removed his hood from his head. The snake on the right side of him placed him in a chair as Skales began to speak once again. "Over, as of now, a trial has been made for you. Today will be the day to see what your punishment may be. Whatever it may be, I don't want to hear any back talk about it. Do we have an understanding?"
"It doesn't matter to me," Over said, "Just give me my punishment so I can get away from all of you."
"Oh, it looks like you don't wanna be anywhere near us. That's fine by me. As future leader of the Serpentine, I decide how long a trial will last. If I want it to go on with breaks and times for breakfast, lunch and dinner, I will do so. Think of it as a gift from me. Unfortunately, winter has arrived, so I've decided for the trial to last for only an hour or two so everybody can go home and warm up." Skales walked off the stand and slithered his way over to the three generals. "For starters of this trial, I have allowed the generals to explain a play by play of the things that you have done for the past three and a half months. They will each have ten minutes or less to speak and to ask the prisoner questions. Ask as many questions as you like. We're in no rush. First to speak is the Constrictai general."
The general of the Constrictai army stood up. "In the beginning of all this, Over had came to us when we were all homeless. The day before, Over had came to us stating that he had something that he wanted to show us. In my opinion, I thought that he was nothing but a man with stupid mysteries in his mind, but that is not the matter. The next day, you gathered all the Serpentine and brought us to a new and remodeled city of Oraborous. I was happy to see that the ancient city of the Serpentine was fixed, but I still had suspicions of you gazing through my mind. You may have rebuilt our city all in one night, but there is still something odd about you. I have a few questions for you. Did you have reasons for rebuilding the city of Oraborous?"
"Yeah, I did," Over said, " Why do you wanna know?"
"Can you give me one reason why you did it?"
"What reasons? I don't have any reasons. I just did it to make you slitherbrains happy. A happy tribe is a happy ally."
"I see. One last question. Did you want to befriend the Serpentine?"
"It seemed like a pretty good idea. I just thought you guys would be easy to fool." Snakes gasped at the remark.
The Constrictai general returned to his seat. "No more questions."
"Moving on to the Venomari general," Skales said.
The Venomari general stood up from his seat. "After you had rebuilt our city, I myself had noticed some suspicions of you. You spent more time in our temple than in the outside world. We weren't sure what you were doing until you mind controlled a bunch of children, turned a little girl into a witch and hypnotized us to make us do your dirty bidding. In my opinion, I wasn't willing to forgive you for any of the stuff that happened, but before the Thanksgiving incident, I was planning to let that all go. Or so I thought. Now it's time for me to ask you questions, prisoner. What were you doing in the temple most of the time?"
"Plotting my evil plans," Over said, "Is that a crime?"
"What were you using to plot your evil schemes?"
"What does it matter to you? That right there is my own personal business."
"Was it a certain object that you were using?"
"I'm not gonna tell you what it was. I just want this stupid trial to be over so I can get away from you all."
"You had a certain object. We all know you did. What were you using it for?"
"I'll tell you one thing I was using it for. I was gonna get rid of the ninja." Once again, the snakes gasped at his remark.
The Venomari general sat back down. "No more questions."
"Last, but not least, the Fangpyre generals," Skales said.
The Fangpyre generals stood up. "We do not have-much to say,-but we will describe the scene-at the Thanksgiving catastrophe. We were just raiding the city-of all its goods-as we were told to do. Towards the end of the battle,-Over said that we were nothing-but suckers to believe that he-would ever want to become allies with us. So we arrested him-and it brought us-to this trial. Now it is time-for us to ask the questions. Was there a reason-why you tricked us?"
"It was funny, but I really needed some minions to help me out with my evil plans."
"Did you actually attempt-to trick us?"
"Of course I did. I figured you guys were so gullible and stupid that I thought it would be so easy to fool you. It worked, by the way."
"Who do you-think you are?"
"You wanna know who I am? I'll tell you who I am. I'm the son of the Overlord."
A long gasp filled the entire courtroom. The Fangpyre generals sat back down, stunned at what they heard. "No more questions."
"Well, it seems that we don't need to know your side of the story because I think I know more about you than I thought," Skales said, "How could you do this to us? You've done so many things and said so many lies. I knew I shouldn't have trusted you from day one."
"Well, you already became my ally, so you've got no choice but to stick with me until you tell me what my punishment is," Over said.
"Very well, but first let me have a word with everyone in the courtroom." Skales starts to slither around. "Citizens of the city of Oraborous. I, Skales, your future leader, would like to make a very small speech about today's trial. What we have is a very horrible enemy that we've hated for hundreds of years. Not only does he have a link to the king of darkness, but he is the son of the dark ruler. I've decided to make a proclamation that contains allies. We shall make peace with the humans, but we will never agree to become allies. The humans will not be allowed to enter the city of Oraborous, the Serpentine tombs, or the territories that we claim. There will be guards to make sure that happens. Which brings me to a new proclamation. We shall never make peace or become allies with anyone that is part of the dark side. They shall never come within ten feet of us. If they do, use violence if you must. Let us bring an end to this trial. Members of the jury, have you reached a verdict?"
A snake from the jury stood up. "We have, Your Excellency. We've decided that the prisoner shall be guilty of all charges."
"Generals, have you decided on a punishment?" Skales asked.
The three generals stood as the Venomari general spoke. "We have decided on a punishment, Your Excellency. The prisoner will be sentence to exile from the city of Oraborous."
"Then it is settled," Skales said, "Over, you have been founded guilty by the jury and the generals have decided to exile you from the city of Oraborous. You will no longer be allowed in our presence and you shall wander around Ninjago for the rest of your life. Do you have anything to say before you leave?" Over did nothing but place his hood over his head. Not one word escaped from his mouth. Skales decided to keep the silence no longer. "Very well. Lead the prisoner away from the city. Court adjourn."
Two snakes grabbed a hold of Over and led him out of the courtroom. At least now everybody would be happy. Skales got what he wanted. Over got what he wanted. The Serpentine got what they wanted. Everybody got what they wanted.
Lloyd was already up and about when he went outside. Wearing the winter clothes that his mother put on him, Lloyd was already making his way over to Zelda`s. Once he got her and with yet another long greeting, they went over to Monica's and got her. After Monica was Nick, who went right next door. Once they got to Nick`s house, they were surprised to see that his mother answered the door.
"Hello, Mrs. Armegon," Lloyd said, "Is Nick here?"
"He is, but he won't be joining you three today," Mrs. Armegon said, "He hasn't been feeling well since he got home from school yesterday. I called the doctor about it so he should be here soon. It'll be hard to drive there in this weather."
"Nick is sick?" Monica said sadly, "Wow, that rhymes, but still. He's sick. He's ill. Doomed for eternity. Sorry guys, but Nick is more important. I'll help you take care of him, Mrs. Armegon." Monica ran inside the house.
Mrs. Armegon looked at Lloyd and Zelda. "I think I've got all the help I need, you too. Why don't you both go out and have fun?"
Walking away, Lloyd stuck his hands in his pockets as Zelda walked beside him. The morning had not started off well. Cedrai was too chicken to go outside and Nick was growing a fever. Monica had literally ditch them because of the humongous crush that she had on Nick. Having Zelda walk next to him made him feel a bit embarrassed inside.
"So what have you planned for today, Lloyd?" Zelda asked.
"Well, I had planned a snowball fight, but that's never gonna happen," Lloyd said.
Laughter was soon heard from the distance. Lloyd was suspicious of it so he ran over to see who it was. Zelda was behind him the entire time. The laughter came from two mischievous boys who were not to be trusted by anyone and had proven to be the enemies of Lloyd.
"Where is that laughter coming from?" Zelda asked.
"It's coming from two individuals, but I'll give you one word to describe them as," Lloyd said, "Evil."
"Brad and Gene?"
"Exactly."
They continued to peak as Brad and Gene were still in a barrel of laughter. Brad had finally gained the energy to speak. "I have to say that was the funniest thing we ever did."
"I can't believe we were able to freeze Mr. Jay`s car tires to the driveway," Gene said, "That was the best."
"And we didn't even get caught. Priceless."
"Hey, Brad, I have a feeling someone's watching us, and I can kind of guess who it is." Gene walked over and grabbed Zelda and Lloyd by the arm.
Brad laughed evilly. "Well, well, well. If it isn't Lloyd Garmadon and his little girlfriend, Melda."
"My name is Zelda, you mischievous goblin," Zelda said.
"And she's not my girlfriend, either," Lloyd said.
"What were you guys doing spying on us?" Gene asked.
"We heard laughter," Zelda said.
"Plus, we can't figure out anything to do," Lloyd said.
"Where's your nerdy friend Nick and that foreign exchange student that lives with you?" Brad asked.
"First off, Cedrai is not a foreign exchange student. Second off, I'm not telling you where they are."
"I see. Well, maybe you'll tell me if I give you a knuckle sandwich and throw you in a garbage can."
"Remember the video, Brad. My dad still has the footage."
"I thought you said that you took the footage from their house," Gene said.
"I never said that," Brad said.
"Stop the fighting!" Zelda yelled, "Can you not settle this manner in a civil way? I suggest that we figure out something to end this feud. A competition of some sort."
"No way," Lloyd said, "No competition. They'll do whatever they can to cheat."
"I hereby agree to a competition," Gene said.
"As do I," Brad said, "Looks like it's three out of four, Lloyd. You don't have any choice but to join."
"The competition will be held by Ninjago City Lake," Zelda said, "Move it!"
Getting up off the ground, Lloyd gave Brad and Gene a cold glare. Having no choice but to join the others in the so called competition that was being held, Lloyd followed behind the others. He knew this would be a big mistake.
Inside a cave in the sea of sands, a light lit up. The blazing of a fire was warming up the cave, but not enough. Sitting in a corner, with his hood over his head, Over was sulking about the mixture of things that happened that day. The Serpentine pretty much hated him now to the result of things happening for the past three in a half months. There was nowhere else to turn to. The skeletons were of no use to control and the allies that he had before pretty much hated him now. He was alone. He felt abandoned. With nowhere else to go and nobody else to turn to, he was stuck inside a cave with little food and only a fire to keep him warm. He had nothing. Not a thing.
"You feel abandoned," Over`s watch said, "Alone. You feel as though you have nothing. You have nowhere else to go and nobody to turn to. You still have one person that's here for you. There's still somebody that cares. There's somebody that will always care. It's me. No matter how many failures you have, I will always be here to help you achieve new goals. You know that as well as I do."
"How can you help me with anything?" Over asked calmly, "You're just an object that's stuck to my wrist. You're not a human like me. Not anymore, at least."
"I know that I'm no longer a human. I can see that. You are the one that gave me the position that I'm in now. There's no way I can get myself out of this. There is something that you can do, though."
"There is?"
"Yes."
"What is it? You have to tell me."
"There is only one way to turn me back to my original form. You must steal the powers from the golden ninja and give it to me."
"Powers from the golden ninja? The golden ninja isn't here anymore. He died a long time ago. How am I suppose to steal golden powers from a dead person?"
"The first spinjitzu master does not keep his golden powers when he passes on. Instead, he passes those powers on to somebody else. Somebody that was able to fulfill the prophecy of the four golden weapons of spinjitzu. The first step in their path is for them to become the legendary green ninja."
"The legendary green ninja? How am I suppose to find him?"
"He is the grandson of the first spinjitzu master. If your wondering where to start looking, check Ninjago City. You've battled against him plenty of times."
"Are you talking about that little kid? He can't possibly have any golden powers yet. He looks like he's still in training."
"He is, but that doesn't mean there isn't a little bit of some powers inside of him. All I need is a little bit of his golden power and I will be restored back to life."
"This isn't some kind of trick, is it? Your not gonna turn your back on me and go back to Cedrai, are you?"
"No, of course not. I would never turn away from my one and only evil son. The son that decided to make his father proud by following in his footsteps. Besides, you added evil dust particles inside my ashes. Why would I ever want to turn away from you?"
"I was just making sure. All right. I'll take your word for it."
"That's my little boy. Now, let's get traveling."
Over crawled away from his little corner and put out the fire. He made sure that it was put out enough so it wouldn't cause the cave to catch on fire. He walked out at that moment. If he wanted to bring his mother back, he had only one thing to do. Take the golden power from the golden ninja. Well, the green ninja, to be exact. He wasn't sure how he would do it, but he would do it. No matter what.
Over at Ninjago City Lake in Ninjago City Park, Lloyd and Zelda were leading Brad and Gene over to the frozen lake. Whatever the contest is, it wouldn't end well. Brad and Gene were always up to the worst or tricks. No matter what kind of competition it was, they always knew how to cheat. Once they got to the lake, Zelda went over and took helmets, knee and elbow pads, hockey sticks and a hockey puck. She handed all three of the boys safety equipment and gear. She stood in front of them all.
"Okay, gentlemen, the competition will result in a game of hockey," Zelda said, "I'm sure you all know the handbook rules of this game by heart, but I have my own rules. No cheating, no hurting others and no holding the hockey stick up above knee level. I only have two things to say. Play fair and have fun. First up will be Gene vs. Lloyd. Begin the game!"
The puck was placed in between two hockey sticks ready to smack it. Lloyd stared into Gene`s eyes for a moment, making sure he wasn't planning any tricks. "I hope you plan to play the game fairly."
"You wish," Gene said, hitting the puck before Lloyd could move his stick.
The puck moved from one side of the frozen lake. As Gene was making his way towards it, Lloyd slid through the ice, having no skills in skating on a frozen lake on a snow day. He was able to make his away over to the puck and smacked it with the stick before Gene had ever made his way towards it. Lloyd was starting to regain his balance on the ice as he continued to smack the hockey puck towards his goal. Not seeing it coming to Lloyd, Gene came up and hit his stick on Lloyd's so he could retrieve the puck. Lloyd wasn't going down without a fight. He made his way over to Gene and saw that the evil genius tripped over and lost control of the puck. Lloyd made his way over and while Gene regained balance, Lloyd had full control of the puck and slammed it into the goal, scoring a win for him.
"Lloyd has won and will move on to the final round," Zelda said.
"No way!" Gene shouted, "I tripped over so his win shouldn't count. I want a rematch!"
"Sorry, Gene, but rematches are against the rules," Lloyd said, "I won fair and square."
"We'll see if you will be able to defeat Lloyd in the final round," Zelda said, "Next up is Brad and Gene. Remember to play fair and have fun. Let the second round begin!"
"I'm not playing against Brad," Gene said.
"I wouldn't play against Gene for anything," Brad said.
"If one of you wins the final round against me, you can throw snowballs at me for an entire hour," Lloyd said.
"I'm in!" Gene exclaimed.
"Me, too!" Brad said.
The puck sat in between the two boys. They both started battling with their sticks for the puck. In the end, Brad was the one who had it. Gene had to figure something out before Brad scored, so he slid up and snuck his stick out to smack the puck in another direction. Gene had started to make his way over to the puck, but Brad was sneaky and started to make it there on his own. He received the puck before Gene could make it. Gene had had enough, so he decided to do what he always did as an evil genius and a bad boy. Cheat. He skated over to Brad and used his hockey stick to trip him over, losing the puck. A whistle blew out of nowhere. Everyone looked at Zelda, who was the center of attention.
"The second round has ended," Zelda said.
"What do you mean?" Gene asked, "Nobody has even scored yet."
"You made Brad trip over your hockey stick. You cheated."
"I'm a bad boy and an evil genius. How else am I suppose to win? Play fairly?"
"I would rather you do that, but sadly, you decided to go against the rules. I'm sorry, Gene, but you are disqualified for the rest of the game. Brad will move on to the final round with Lloyd. Whoever wins will become champions."
"This is so unfair! I'm out of here!" Gene left, throwing his hockey stick and safety equipment on the ground.
Zelda stood in front of the lake. "This is the final round. The winner will be promoted as the champion. Brad and Lloyd will be playing against each other. The final round may be the greatest, but don't forget to play fair and have fun. Oh, and no cheating. Let the final round begin!"
Before the game was ever played, Over was looking into the bushes, staring at Lloyd in his usual evil way. He knew the time had come for him to do what he must do. Take the amount of golden power that the little green ninja had.
"Okay, how am I suppose to get the golden power out of him?" Over asked his watch.
"You need to get him going into action, but it looks like that won't be too hard," the watch said, "It looks as though he's riled up for that hockey match. Once he gets into the fun of it, the golden power inside of him will be strong. To prove it, I will place a detector inside the watch so you can keep track. All you need to do is make sure he gets into action."
"Let's just test it out this time. Next time the real fun will begin."
"Allow me to install the detector." Soon a red blinking light was placed in the center of the watch. "Right now it is red, which means there is no golden power. When it becomes orange, it will have little golden power. When it or green, golden power has been detected. Here's the big one. When it becomes gold, there is plenty of golden power to go around. It's as much power as you could ever want."
"Good. I'm gonna need a lot. Let's test this baby out."
The final round of the hockey game between Lloyd and Brad had finally begun. Lloyd was the first one it hit it, but Brad was faster as he sped his way toward the puck and hit it. Lloyd saw it and made his way over to it, but not before sliding on the ice. Of all the snow days in the world, why didn't he pick this one to learn how to ice skate? Brad had made his way to the puck and began having full control of it. Once Lloyd regained his balance, he made his way over to Brad and took the puck right out of his control. Lloyd had the puck in his grasp and was getting closer to his goal. This was it. He was gonna win. Unfortunately, Brad had came back for revenge too soon, hitting the puck to the middle of the ice. It was now a battle. Both boys had slid up to the puck and fought between it. Somehow, Brad had ended up hitting the bottom of Lloyd's hockey stick too hard and knocked it out of his hands. It landed on the icy lake, looking as though it might blend in with the cold. Brad was now getting the lead and had the puck in his control again. Lloyd picked up his hockey stick and slid his way over to Brad. He wasn't giving up so easily. Just as Brad was about to slam the puck into his goal, Lloyd sprang into action. He placed himself in front of the moving puck and hit it with all his might. He hit it so hard that it almost made it inside the goal. Brad and Lloyd looked at each other, seeing the shade of winning in their eyes. They both slid fast and as Lloyd's hockey stick touched the puck, Brad collided with him and slammed him on top of the thick solid ice. The puck had moved slowly and the moment it slowed down, the edge of it touched the net, making it known as the winning point. The final round was over.
"It is official," Zelda said, "Lloyd has won the final round, which means he's the winner. Lloyd is known as the champion!"
"How did his goal even count?" Brad asked, "It didn't even touch the net that much."
"It doesn't matter how much the puck touched the net. What matters is that the goal was known as legal. Besides, you both played fair."
"Played fair? I hate playing fair. Forget this. I'm out of here. I'm gonna go find Gene." Removing his equipment and stuff, he walked away from the lake.
Meanwhile, Over was still in the bushes, looking at the detector that was just placed on his watch. A smile grew on his face as he saw that the light turned orange. It was a good sight to see. "Looks like the kids gotta bit of some golden power after all. He may not have much right now, but it might be enough to bring you back."
"I only need a drop of the boys golden power if I'm to ever escape from this tiny prison," the watch said, "I know that you'll be able to give it to me because you won't give up for the world. I'm counting on you, dear."
"I won't let you down... Mom." Just saying the word mom brought tears to his eyes. He wiped them away quickly and stood up. "I think it's time we find a place to spend the night."
"Try to keep yourself warm."
"I've learned how to make a fire."
Over walked away from the lake as he knew action would come another day. Now that the game was finished and Lloyd was pronounced as champion, he decided to celebrate it with Zelda. As he was taking off his sports gear, Zelda walked up to him with a grin on her face.
"I am glad you were able to win, Lloyd," Zelda said, "Who knew you had such amazing soccer skills?"
"Well, I'm not much of a hockey person, but I would play to entertain you anytime," Lloyd said, his cheeks starting to blush. He quickly shook his head. "Hey, now that the game is over, do you wanna go back to my house for some hot chocolate?"
"I would love to." Zelda walked up to Lloyd but had almost slipped on the ice. Lloyd grabbed her by the hands and had looked into her eyes for only a moment. He helped her to regain the position of her feet. She smiled at Lloyd. "Thank you. You came to my rescue just in time."
"Well, you can't just let somebody fall is what my dad always says."
"Well, let's go home. I suppose we've had enough excitement for one day."
"Yeah. I have to say this was a great snow day. We should have another one like this more often."
"Yes. Yes, we should."
As Lloyd and Zelda were walking away from the lake, the snow started falling again. Winter had finally come and the snow was falling gracefully. It is beauty which this season has brought to people. The more beautiful it is, the more fun it will be.
THIS IS GETTING SO GOOD. OH, NO. OVER IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET LLOYD'S POWERS. ALTHOUGH, HE DOESN'T HAVE MUCH, BUT OVER THINKS IT'S PLENTY. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE TWO PART CHRISTMAS SPECIAL?
SORRY I DIDN'T UPDATE LAST WEEK. I JUST NEEDED A BREAK. SCHOOL IS TOO MUCH OF A HASSLE. OH, MY GOSH, YOU GUYS. GUESS WHAT'S COMING UP IN THIRTEEN DAYS. MY BIRTHDAY! I'M SO EXCITED. ALSO, TWO DAYS BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY WILL BE MY FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF THE DAY I CAME ON HERE. I MAY NOT HAVE STARTED WRITING ON THAT DAY BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO USE FANFICTION AT THAT TIME, BUT I STILL JOINED. I'M DEFINITELY WRITING ON BOTH THOSE DAYS. ITS GONNA BE SO AMAZINGLY AWESOME. I CAN'T WAIT, YOU GUYS.
I HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY THIS.
PLEASE REVIEW.
