Grace and Sensei Wu sat across from each other as they watched the boys train, both were sipping tea. The silence between the 2 dwindled on for a little while longer..."Sensei, is it time..?" Grace suddenly asked her Uncle, who set down his tea cup and looked at Grace. "I do believe so, are you ready?" Sensei Wu asked Grace, who sighed before nodding her head. "Then, it is time to say good bye." Sensei Wu said before getting up and calling Nya to the training grounds, before he lent a hand to Grace, which she took before standing up also. Once Nya came out of the building she was staying in, the 3 (Sensei Wu, Grace, and Nya) all walked over to the boys, who stopped training at their presence.

"Sensei, is something wrong?" Cole asked first as he and the boys gathered around their Sensei, who placed a hand on Grace's shoulder. "No, nothing is wrong...But something is going to change for a little while...You see, Grace has to leave and- (Sensei Wu)" "WHAT! (Jay)" the boys all slapped a hand over Jay's mouth, who was shocked beyond all belief at this news. "If I may finish...Grace has to leave and find 2 new ninja, who will be living with us and will learn along side you boys." Sensei Wu finished, and NOW the boys took their hands off Jay's mouth, Jay gagged a bit in disgust before looking at his male team mates.

"You guys need to wash your hands more often." Jay told the other boys, who looked like there were going to strangle the Lightning Ninja. "When will you be leaving?" Nya asked Grace, who smiled lightly at her close friend. "In a little while actually, I'm all packed and ready to go, so I just figured that it was best that I said goodbye." Grace responded to Nya, who smiled before hugging the Water Ninja. "Come back to us in one piece okay?" Nya asked Grace, who giggled as she hugged Nya back. "Geez, I'm only picking up a few of my old friends, not like I'm battling all the Serpentine tribes." Grace said before she and Nya pulled apart with smiles and a few laughs, before Grace was hugged by Kai.

"Hey, I know we aren't that close especially after the...Scythe of quakes incident...But I'll miss you, don't be gone to long okay..?" Kai requested to Grace, who chuckled before hugging Kai back. "Besides, I don't think any of us could handle Jay's mopey mood while your gone." Kai whispered to Grace, getting a laugh from the Water Ninja as the 2 separated. Grace smiled before hugging Zane, who hugged back. "Return to us safely, we shall wait for your return." Zane told Grace, who silently nodded her head before separating from Zane, and turning to Cole, who had open arms for a hug.

"Aww, don't worry Cole, I wouldn't forget you!" Grace chimed, opening her arms for a hug to...Only to suddenly go behind Cole and put him in a head lock, while the others laughed at this. "Aww c-come on Grace! L-Let go!" Cole managed to say through his restraints as Grace gave him a noogie, Grace giggled before and after she let Cole go, before actually hugging him. "You're really something, you know that?" Cole asked Grace, who shrugged. "Eh, maybe so, but it's not like your normal either." Grace responded, at this Cole chuckled before the 2 separated.

Jay looked at his feet when Grace got to him, he didn't bother looking up. "It'll be boring without you here." Jay said in a sad tone, Grace hugged him in a comforting fashion. "Then we'll talk about it, once I come back home." Grace promised Jay, who smiled as he hugged Grace back. It was crazy really, how just the other day they were laughing and blushing, now they were sad and saying goodbye...Geez, the universe just hated ninjas sometimes. Once that was done Grace waved goodbye to everyone, before walking to the dragon's den.


Dragon's Den

Grace checked Sivermist's harness, the seat, the extra 2 seats behind her (where the 2 new ninjas would sit) and the light luggage on her back. Grace knew they wouldn't be gone long, at the most a week, at the least about 2 days. "...Grace..?" Grace heard from behind her, she knew who it was. "Yeah Jay?" Grace asked, never looking back as she continued to check her supplies. "I...I have something to give you." Jay stated quickly and quietly, Grace was a bit curious and turned around, to see Jay behind her with a small square box in his hands, which he held out for her to take.

"I...I wanted to make you a tiramisu, I finished earlier this morning and I...Well, here." Jay said as he placed the box inside Grace's hands, Grace blinked at the box before setting it carefully at the top on her backpack before turning around and hugging Jay once more. "Thank you Jay, that was really sweet of you." Grace told Jay, who blushed at this but still hugged Grace back. "I'll miss you the most." Jay told Grace, who chuckled a bit. "I don't believe that. Remember, I'm the one who makes Sensei Wu's tea every morning." Grace explained, getting a laugh from Jay. "Okay, so maybe I'll be the second person who will miss you the most." Jay said, before he was suddenly kissed on the cheek by Grace, leaving a dark pink blush on his cheeks.

"Goodbye Jay, I'll see you soon." Grace said quietly, before placing her back pack onto Silvermist's back, and jumping on herself. "Bye! I'll wait for your return!" Jay yelled as he waved to Grace, who waved before whistling, giving Silvermist the signal. With a goodbye roar, Silvermist was suddenly off in the sky. All 4 male dragon's roared also, as if saying their own goodbyes, and they continued until they could no longer see Silvermist. Once Jay stopped waving he could both see and sense Wisp's sadness as the Lightning Dragon looked at the clouds that Silvermist had past. "Hey, it's okay big guy, they'll be back." Jay comforted his dragon as he petted Wisp's snout, the dragon just sighed it seems. "You'll see, they'll be okay." Jay said to Wisp, though even he didn't believe his own comforting sentences as he to watched the sky line.


1 PM-NEXT DAY

Grace sighed as she finally entered the Ninjago City boundaries, she had already eaten the tiramisu and had given a few fish to Silvermist. Yet not to long after she circled the boundary of the large city, she smiled as saw 2 familiar faces that she could have sworn were the same from the last time she saw them. One girl, names Bunny, was a bit smaller then Grace herself. Bunny pale green and dark brown eyes, slightly pale skin, light pink lips, and had fluffy platinum blonde hair with light brown fringe around her face that fell down the sides of her head like bunny ears (all her hair is platinum blonde besides the part surrounding her face which is light brown) which skimmed past her shoulders a bit. Bunny was wearing a light brown woolen sweater, a white knee-length ruffled skirt, and black flats.

The other girl, Kim-Ly, was about Grace's height, if not a bit taller. Kim-Ly had slate black waist-length hair that was messy and fell into her eyes, which were actually a deep hazel that at most times looked like gold, slightly darker then normal skin, was about Grace's height, and had dark red lips. Kim-Ly was wearing a dark grey t-shirt that had ripped sleeves, dark blue pants, and black sneakers. Both girls had a few packed duffle bags beside them, and were a bit surprised when Grace flew down on Silvermist.

"Are you...Riding a dragon?" Bunny asked, her dainty soprano voice making it seem like a whisper, Grace blinked at her. "Yes...Yes I am! (like how Phineas says it on Phineas and Ferb)" Grace said with a laugh, Kim-Ly chuckled at this while Bunny blinked. "So, what did you mean when you said that, in your own words...You are the chosen 2, who shall help me and the ninjas." Kim-Ly asked in her best impersonation of Grace's voice, which wasn't really all to far off. "I mean, that you 2 are the new ninja that will train with the boys. Me and Sensei Wu will teach you everything you need to know to fight, and such." Grace said to the girls, who glanced at each other before smiling lightly at Grace.

"Okay, first thing, are you joking?" Kim-Ly asked Grace, who rolled her eyes and looked at the girls. "I'm being more serious then when our old teacher Mrs. Hoffenstoff (who-ven-stof (stuff but with a "O" sound instead of a "U")) when she gave us our choir assignments." Grace said, both girls blinked at this before laughing a bit at the example. "O-Okay, when did you get a sense of humor?" Bunny asked Grace, who now smiled at the 2. "My...Friend...And fellow ninja Jay is a real comedian, can make a joke at any time, and I guess he's rubbed off on me." Grace explained, Kim-Ly quirked an eyebrow with a smirk as she placed her hands on her hips.

"Are you sure that he's just a friend?" Kim-Ly asked, and you couldn't believe the joy on her face when she saw Grace's embarrassed blush and Silvermist's grinning at her master. "Sh-Shut up!" Grace yelled, yet that didn't really stop the embarrassed blush on her cheeks from rising in hue. "Jay and Grace sittin in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-" Kim-Ly was cut off when a water ball hit her in the face, she stared bewildered at Grace. "Did you just.." Kim-Ly didn't finish when another water ball hit her in the face. "Hit you in the face with a water ball...Twice..? Yes, yes I did!" Grace chimed happily, earning a laugh from Bunny and a grumble from Kim-Ly.

"So, are you guys coming or not?" Grace asked the 2 girls, who exchanged glances before looking back up at Grace. "So, your telling me that we get to train with possibly cute boys, get to fight as many bad guys we want without getting arrested, get those awesome ninja suits, and get to learn some cool fighting moves?" Kim-Ly asked Grace, who thought about it for a bit before smirking slightly. "Sounds about right." Grace replied, earning a grin from Kim-Ly. "Then sign me up!" Kim-Ly exclaimed, before the 2 looked at Bunny.

"...Can I work on my designs and my art when I'm not fighting or training?" Bunny asked Grace, who shrugged her shoulders after thinking for a bit. "I don't think there's anything wrong with that." Grace replied, Bunny slightly smiled at then. "Then I guess I'll come along too." Bunny said, earning a grin from Grace. "Great! Now, lets get those bags on Silvermist and we can get going, it's a bit of a long flight to the Monastery." Grace said, before helping her 2 old friends with their luggages.

Once everything was secure Kim-Ly and Bunny hopped onto Silvermist's extra seat, with Grace sitting driver. "Keep hands and feet inside the dragon's boundaries at all time, and please try to keep your moths closed unless you want to eat bugs." Grace said, Bunny and kim-Ly blinked at this before the 2 screamed as Silvermist suddenly flew at fast speeds. Grace could only laugh a bit at her friend's screams, before smirking as she flipped on a pair of goggles she had, and went back to flying the 3 girls to their (Kim-Ly and Bunny) new home.
