To those of you who don't know, or simply don't remember, the character Dash belongs to my good friend. Her name is Dasher Girl, and she is one of the nicest, kindest, most creative and bestest friend I have on here! She is amazing and I thank her a lot for letting me use her characters, including Dash, Zane, Roy and Nicki. Love you, Dasher Girl!

Kai woke, sweating and panting. He looked, seeing a panicked Cole and a frightened Lloyd at his side.

"Oh, thank goodness you're awake," Cole sighed in relief.

"It was," Kai looked around the room. "It was only a dream."

"And a nasty one at that from the looks of it," Cole sighed. "Lloyd, go as Wu if he has a change of clothes for the Prince."

Lloyd nodded, dashing out of the room. Kai slowly sat up, looking around in a daze.

"What happened, your majesty?" Cole asked. "You seem anxious."
"Pythor," Kai muttered.

"What about him?" Cole asked, very seriously.

"It was when Garmadon had me kidnapped," Kai said, shaking. "Lloyd didn't get you to come in time, and Pythor took me. You tried to save me, but you were too late."

"But it was only a dream," Cole said. "I saved you, you came back home, and Lloyd is a hero."

Kai nodded, staring at his bed. Cole let out a sigh, knowing he wasn't getting anywhere with Kai in this state. He looked up as Wu knocked on the door.

"May I enter?" he asked.

"Or course," Cole nodded.

Wu walked towards the two boys, setting the clothing down on Lloyd's bed before turning to Kai. Coel stood up, turning to look at Kai.

"He had a nightmare last night," Cole explained. "Now I can't seem to snap him from his daze."

Wu frowned. He sat near the end of the bed, trying to get Kai's attention.

"Your majesty," Wu said calmly. "It's Wu. Can you talk to me?"
Wu's expression turned to worry when Kai didn't respond. Wu reached forwards and placed his hand on the prince's forehead. He quickly pulled it away.

"Go fetch Zane for me, Cole," Wu said. "Quickly."

Cole nodded, disappearing out the door. Wu stood up, lying Kai back down on the bed. He reacted, his head moving around and looking at Wu.

"Wu?" he questioned. "What? What happened?"

"Just rest," Wu told him.

"Is something wrong?" Kai asked.

"You have a high fever, your majesty," Wu said. "Just rest, alright."

Kai nodded as Zane ran into the room with Cole. Zane moved to Wu's side.

"What's wrong?" Zane asked.

"He has a fever," Wu said.

"I'll go get things together," Zane said.

Zane turned, pushing past Cole and out the door. Cole turned to Wu, seeing Kai looking worried.

"I don't understand why he's sick," Cole said. "The prince has never gotten sick before."

"Well, up until now," Wu corrected.

"Will he be alright?" Cole asked.

"After some medication and some rest, he'll be just fine," Wu said.

Zane came back in, carrying a box of supplies. He set them down at the edge of Kai's bed, pulling out a thermometer. He walked up to Kai.

"Open your mouth," Zane said.

Kai opened it, allowing Zane to put it in. He closed it, allowing the temperature to be read before pulling it out.

"He's overly warm, Master," Zane turned to Wu. "Not deathly yet, but enough to keep him in bed for a while."

"But he'll be alright, right?" Cole asked.

"As long as it doesn't get any higher, yes," Zane replied.

"Cole, Zane will watch over the prince," Wu said. "You and the others need to eat and train."

Cole nodded, taking one last glance at Kai before following Wu out of his room. They closed the door, allowing Zane to take care of Kai. They walked into the kitchen, where Jay and Lloyd sat talking with Dash.

"Who's she?" Cole asked.

"This is Dash," Lloyd said. "She says she's going to help us take back the Kingdom."

"That's great," Cole smiled. "The more help, the better."

"Well, you four have eaten, so it's best you get to training," Wu said.

"This early?" Jay moaned.

"Let's go," Wu turned to the door. "Evil never sleeps."

"I think they do, but whatever," Lloyd sighed.

The boys and Dash followed Wu outside, and he tossed a weapon at each of the boys. They scrambled, trying to catch them.

"What are these things?" Jay asked, looking at his.

"Lloyd, you hold the katanas," Wu pointed to the young blonde. "Cole, a scythe and Jay, nunchucks."

"How do I use these?" Jay asked, looking at them with confusion. "Do I swing them around?"

Wu nodded to him. Jay shrugged and tried to spin them around, only to hit himself in the face.

"Ok, can I use something else?" Jay asked.

"You'll get used to them," Wu tells him. "Each of you will get used to your weapons in time. Then, and only then, will you stand a chance against Pythor."

"What about Kai?" Lloyd asked.

"He'll catch up to you rather quickly, trust me on that," Wu said.

Wu spent the day, teaching each boy how to use their weapons and by sundown, they were destroying targets left and right. Dash watched from the stairs, having finished her exercises with her bow long ago. She stood up, then walked inside, making her way to the Prince's room. She peeked in the, seeing Zane sitting next to Kai's bed. Kai was fast asleep, a cloth on his forehead.

"How is he?" she asked.

Zane looked up, seeing Dash in the doorway.

"He's improving," Zane answered. "He will need another day of rest, but he'll be able to make a full recovery."

"That's good to hear," Dash smiled.

Kai moaned, shifting on the bed. Lloyd walked into the room, falling onto his bed with exhaustion.

"That was the most exhausting day of my life," Lloyd moaned.

"Lloyd," Kai muttered.

Lloyd sprung up, looking over at Kai. His voice was faint, but the blonde boy could see the Prince's amber eyes looking at him.

"Kai, your awake," Lloyd smiled.

Lloyd jumped off his bed, moving over and sitting next to Kai.

"How are you feeling?" Lloyd asked him.

"Horrible," Kai moaned.
"That's to be expected, you have a fever after all," Zane said.

Kai moaned, his head hitting the pillow.

"I think we should all get some sleep," Zane said. "We all need it."

Lloyd and Dash nodded. Zane and Dash left the room, leaving Lloyd and Kai alone. Lloyd stood up and moved to his own bed.

"Lloyd," Kai murmured.

"What's up?" he turned to Kai.

"Can you sit with me?" Kai asked.

"Of course," Lloyd replied, a little startled with the request.

Lloyd moved back over to Kai, sitting with him. Kai looked at him, a faint smile on his face.

"You'll always be there for me, right?" Kai asked Lloyd.

"Of course, what gave you the idea that I wouldn't be?" Lloyd asked.

"A dream," Kai muttered.

"A dream isn't real, Kai," Lloyd said. "It will never happen unless you make it."

Kai nodded, staying silent.

"Can you sing to me?" Kai asked.

"What?" Lloyd questioned.

"Can you sing for me?" Kai asked again. "The song my mother would sing when I was brought home safe."

"Yeah, of course," Lloyd smiled.

Lloyd had to sit for a minute, trying to remember how the song went. Once he had it, he took a deep breath.

"I tried to walk together, but the night was growing dark," Lloyd sang softly. "Thought you were beside me, but I reached and you were gone. Sometimes I hear you calling from some lost and distant shore. I hear you crying softly for the way it was before."

Lloyd looked out the window, able to see the faint lights over the trees of the Kingdom. They were still close, but much safer than before.

"Where are you now? Are you lost? Will I find you again? Are you alone? Are you afraid? Are you searching for me? Why did you go I had to stay? Now I'm reaching for you. Will you wait, will you wait? Will I see you again?"

Lloyd turned back to Kai, seeing him drifting off to sleep already. He continued onwards anyways.

"You took it with you when you left, these scars are just a trace. Now it wonders lost and wounded, this heart that I misplaced."

He looked towards the door, seeing Cole and Jay peeking in. He turned away really quickly, blushing. He knew they had heard him, but he continued for Kai.

"Where are you now? Are you lost? Will I find you again? Are you alone? Are you afraid? Are you searching for me? Why did you go I had to stay? Now I'm reaching for you. Will you wait, will you wait? Will I see you again?"

Lloyd slowly stood from Kai's bed, and escaped into the hallway.

"I didn't know you could sing," Jay smiled.

"That was his mother's song," Cole awed.

"She sang to both of us," Lloyd sighed. "I learnt it, and sometimes sing it to Kai when he can't sleep."

"It's beautiful," Jay smiled.

"Come on, we need to be sleeping," Lloyd said.

Lloyd turned and walked back into his room. He silently climbed into his bed, curling into a ball, sound asleep.
