Normal POV!
"DAD! You got all of them?" Jay asked loudly as stood at the top of a folding ladder.
"Why yes, son. Oh!" Ed said as he carried a bunch of small red Chinese lanterns in his arms, some of them falling to the ground. "Ah... son?" he picked up the fallen lanterns.
"Yes, dad?" the blue ninja asked, hanging the stringed lanterns on a tree.
"Aren't there too many lanterns?"
"There are." Jay puffed as he back flipped off the ladder and onto the ground. "But the party will take place tonight. The more lights, the better!"
Edna giggled as she approached the two boys. "Oh, son. You seem to give a lot of effort for Nya..."
Jay flushed. "O–Of course I do." he stuttered. "She's my girlfriend and..." he paused, looking down bashfully. "I... I really like her."
"That much?" Ed asked a little teasingly. "Or do you love her."
The blue ninja froze. Of course he loved her, but they never told each other, but deep down he knew they felt the same. But how can he tell her? He can't just tell her so soon, they just started dating!
Isn't getting to know each other the point of dating? To prepare yourself for a commitment? To see if you really love someone?
He really wanted to tell her how much he loves her, but what if she's not ready? What if it freaks her out? Like is fine, but Love is on a whole new level!
Jay sighed hopelessly. "Of course I love her, I just can't bring myself to tell her..."
"Don't worry son. I'm sure she feels the same..." Edna placed a comforting hand on the ninja's shoulder with a reassuring smile.
"Yeah..." Ed butted in. "You just gotta find the perfect moment to tell her. Don't rush it, son."
Jay smiled at his parents. These two elders in front of him that he once thought was annoying, his parents he loved so much, they were the two persons he most cherished. "Thanks mom, dad..."
The two elders watched as their son walked away slowly, dragging the ladder with him to place it to another spot. They remained in their spot, smiling in silence before Edna sighed dreamily and turned to her husband with a faint smile.
"Ah, young love..."

Normal POV!
"Kai, where are we going?" Nya asked as she watched his brother drag her.
"To the Ninjago Park!" Kai beamed as he led Nya to the place.
"But we just went to the Mega Monster Amusement Park...?" Nya asked with a confused look. What's up with Kai and Parks?
Kai rolled his eyes with a side smile. "I just went there for the restaurant. We've already been there, and it's boring."
"Kai, it's more boring in a city park." Nya deadpanned. "What is there to do than sit on a bench and feed pigeons?"
Kai sighed at his sister's sarcastic remark but smiled at her. "Trust me... it'll be fun."

Normal POV!
Jay stood in the middle of a grassy area holding a clipboard and a blue pen. The others were surrounding him as they do what they're assigned to do. His blues eyes scanned the area, his pen ready to be used. "Lights? Check." he checked it off the list before turning to Garmadon. "Decorations?"
"Finished." Misako responded as she got down a wooden ladder.
"Food?"
"All done." Zane gave him a thumbs up after he placed a bowl of juice on the table.
"Speakers?"
"Here!" Cole said, leaning on the DJ table.
"Alright..." Jay wiped his brow. He scanned the area again. It seems that everything was according to plan... except for one thing. "Where's our DJ?"
"Djeerfh!"
Jay turned around only to see Lloyd stuffing himself with candies. Jay face palmed. "Lloyd! Stop eating all the food!"
Lloyd looked at the lightning ninja innocently. "But it's a party."
"Well, the party hasn't even started yet!" you could see the irritation in his features by the way his eye twitched.
Lloyd sighed and put the candies back into the bowl of sweets with a crestfallen look –like a sad puppy. "But I'm hungry..."
Jay rolled his eyes. Oi, who knew it was hard to prepare a party. He sighed again and turned to the ice ninja who was having a conversation with Pika. "Zane, tell Kai the party's finished."
Zane nodded and pulled out his phone, typing in the keypad.
'Kai, everything's ready. Where are you?'
Zane pressed the 'send' button and patiently waited for a reply. In a second, there was a 'ding' indication that there was a message. He opened it to see it was from the fire ninja.
'We're almost there.'
Zane turned back to Jay who was looking at the party preparations. Calling his attention, Zane said, "They're coming."
Jay smirked. "Hit the lights!

Normal POV!
"Uh... Kai?" Nya asked with an uneasy look. They were at the park, but there wasn't anyone present. It was quiet, and it was dark. "There's no one here..."
"Shh... Nya, relax." Kai reassured her, feeling her tense.
"But..." Nya tried to protest, when all of the sudden, lights flashed open. The samurai raised a hand shielded her eyes from the light.
"SURPRISE!"
Gasping, Nya removed her hands from her face and was met with her friend's smiling faces. There wasn't anyone at the park but them. Walking slowly, she took the time and observed the area.
Grassy field, red lanterns hanging by the street light, party lights on trees, DJ stand at the front with two giant speakers beside it, a pair of long party tables in either side, lots of food, a banner that says, 'Happy Birthday Nya!' at the entrance and her friends gathered at the center giving her their brightest smiles.
"You guys..." Nya breathed out with a surprised look. "You remembered?"
Jay chuckled as he approached his girlfriend. "Of course we did. What kind of boyfriend would I be?"
Nya giggled as the blue ninja wrapped an arm around her while the others shook their heads at Jay's remark. "Well, you guys sure did a good job at it." she complemented, turning to Kai. "So, I'm guessing you were a distraction?"
"Yep." Kai said proudly. "Kinda glad I did, otherwise I wouldn't have spent the whole day with my sister."
Nya flashed a grin at the red ninja.
"Nya!" Pika smiled, glomping the birthday girl. "So nice to see you again."
"Pika?" she gasped. "You're here!" she squealed as the two enveloped themselves in a friendly hug.
Seconds later, they pulled away from each other and Nya faced her guests. "You guys... this means so much to me." she smiled at them genuinely. "Thank you, everyone."
Cole smirked and turned to everyone. "What are we waiting for? Let's get this party started!"
With that said, everyone cheered as Lloyd turned on the beat. The party had just begun and everyone was enjoying themselves.
The smiles on their faces soon faded when a sinister laugh was heard through the music.
"Huh?" Cole looked from left to right, looking for the source of sound.
"Where was it coming from?" Pika asked with a panicked look.
Before they knew it, a loud thud sounded out behind them. They turned, only to be met by a giant, red robot. Another thud came from the front and it was another one of them. This continued until they were surrounded by five robots thrice the size of them. One in particular was bigger than the others.
The biggest of the robots spoke as its red eyes glowed. "Target: Found. Initiating kidnapping sequence."
(A/N: I'm not good at this.)
"Target?!" Cole exclaimed.
"Yes." a deep voice replied. All eyes turned to a man who appeared behind the robots. He had a hair in the darkest shade of brown, skin as pale as a corpse, eyes a glowing purple filled with hatred and bloodlust. "Surprise."
