Mayhemb; Okay, tomorrow or the next day a update of A New Beginning will be up. Sorry for the wait, the other 3 authors were gone for the weekend and I was the only one available to write...And I was really excited about this story, so...Yeah...ENJOY!

Jay sighed once more as he poked the pancakes on his plate. Today would mark the 3rd day since Grace had left to find the 2 brand new ninjas...It wasn't like Jay did not trust Grace to be safe, he was...He was actually scared, scared that the 2 ninja would be boys, who would take Grace away from him. "Hey Jay, you okay bud?" Cole asked Jay, who just glanced his direction before putting all his attention back to the soft flat pastries. "Yeah, I'm okay...I guess." Jay said as he stabbed at the syrup soaked pan cakes, before Zane suddenly came into the room.

"Jay, you have a phone call." Zane told the Lightning Ninja, who stood up and sulked off to where the black wall phone was, before picking up the phone (which was conveniently placed on a table beside the phone) and placed it to his ear. "Hello?" Jay asked, before he suddenly heard his mom's giggle on the other line. "Hi mom." Jay said into the phone, before he heard his parent's lightly talking to each other before going back to him. "Ohh hi sweetie! How are you? Did you give your little girlfriend that pair of goggles I sent you that you ask for?" Edna asked her son, who blushed at this greatly as he thought back.

A Few Days Ago

Jay grinned as he opened a small parcel that was addressed to him, the return address was the Junk Yard that his parent's called home... Literally, it was a junk yard! Carefully Jay took out a pair of goggles (think motorcycle kind), dark blue leather that was attached with dark silver string, and the lenses were brand new! Oh, Jay had to thank his parents a bunch for this later! Hopping up Jay rushed to the training center, where Grace was aiming at targets with the Golden Yumi, and she was the only one there.

Carefully Jay walked behind Grace, and smiled when he saw that she was enjoying herself. "Evenin' Grace." Jay said, trying to be cool, but he realized that after he said it he sounded like a rustic cowboy. Yet that didn't stop Grace from turning towards him and giving him a happy smile, which his heart went pitter-patter over. "Hi to you to Jay, is there something you need?" Grace asked as she rechecked her bow string, making sure it was taunt enough, before looking back at the Lighting Ninja.

"Weeeell, I...I was kind of hoping that I could give you something." Jay confessed, and he smiled when Grace blinked at this in confusion. "Oh? And what would that something be?" Grace asked, before noticing that Jay was holding something behind his back. "Uh...*takes out the goggles* Here." Jay stated, thrusting the pair of goggles at the Water Ninja, who set the Golden Yumi down so she could further inspect the goggles. "I...You really like to ride Silvermist, I always see you on her...So, I thought that maybe you could use some goggles to help your eyes. Cause you know that you should really take care of them! Especially when their a pretty color like your eyes are...I-I'm not trying to say that your eyes are the only pretty thing about you it's just-" Jay's rant was cut off by a simple hug from the Water Ninja, who had already secured the goggles around her neck, and smiled brightly at him. A smile he couldn't help but return.

Present

"Y-Yeah, I did give her the goggles...Thanks for those by the way." Jay told his parents, who gushed over about his "girlfriend". "Oh sweetie, what was her name again? Oh! And I forgot to ask last time, is she pretty?" Edna asked, Jay couldn't help but chuckle at how excited his mom sounded. "Her name's Grace...*thinks about everything he and Grace has been through*...And no mom, she isn't pretty...She's beautiful." Jay told his mom, before he held the phone away as him mom suddenly gave out a loud squeal and random outbursts about meeting her "future-daughter-in-law". Suddenly Nya waved at Jay from the other end of the hallway, before she pointed out the window, once Jay looked out her grinned.

Because right now, flying towards the Ninja's home, was their Water Dragon Silvermist. "I gotta go now, I'll call you back later! Bye!" Jay said before his parents shouted their own good byes happily, then Jay hung up the phone before running out into the Dragon's Den to meet up with Grace, the other ninja and Nya were right behind him.

Dragon's Den

Grace helped Bunny and Kim-Ly down from their high seats on Silvermist, both girls looked at the 4 other dragon's inside the strange stable-like room. "These are the other dragon's for the boys. The red one is Flame, he's Kai's dragon. The white was is Shard, Zane's dragon. The brown/black one is Rocky, Cole's best friend...Who he used to be scared of *gets snickers and giggles from the 2 girls*. Then the big ol' blue softy right here *Wisp nuzzles her neck playfully* he, he! This is Wisp, Jay's dragon." Grace introduced the 4 other dragon's, before the girls and the dragon's turned to see the ninja and Nya running down the stairs.

"Grace!" Jay exclaimed as he hugged the Water Ninja, before the 2 realized what had just happened, and awkwardly separated and uncomfortably chuckled at each other. "I'm guessing that's Jay." Kim-Ly told Bunny, who nodded her head with a giggle. Suddenly Sensei Wu came down the steps as well, and Grace smiled at her (secret) Uncle. "Hello Sensei Wu, it's good to see you again." Grace said before hugging her Sensei, who smiled and hugged his (Secret) niece back. "Yes, it's good to see you to Grace." Sensei Wu stated, before noticing the 2 new girls.

"I presume that these 2 are the new ninja then..?" Sensei Wu slightly asked Grace, who nodded her head before standing beside her 2 friends. "This on *ruffles Bunny's mass of hair* *Bunny giggles at the action* is Bunny, a real wall flower, yet she gently blooms into society. Then the other one *ruffles Kim-Ly's hair* *Kim-Ly chuckles a bit at the action* is Kim-Ly, she is as tough as steel and can't be easily bended to a person's will." Grace said, adding emphasizes to some words, which confused everyone (including Bunny and Kim-Ly) except for Sensei Wu, who chuckled at this.

"So I have been told...Now then, *looks at Kim-Ly and Bunny* are you 2 ready to become ninjas?" Sensei Wu asked the 2 girls, who glanced at each other and at Grace (who smiled at them) before the 2 nodded their heads at Sensei Wu. "Then...NINJA-G-" Sensei Wu was cut off when Grace stepped forward, a determinted look on her face. "Wait! I wanna do it! Pleeeease Sensei?" Grace asked before giving her Uncle a cute puppy-dog look, one that Kai had to restrain Nya for, so she (Nya) didn't glomp onto Grace and start cooing over her.

"...*breaks under pressure* *sighs* Fine! Just stop with the face!" Sensei Wu exclaimed, before his eye twitched at Grace's suddenly happy expression. "Sweet! Then *looks at her 2 friends*...*twists her torso* NINJAAAAAA-GOOOOO!" Grace exclaimed before doing Spinjitsu and enveloping Kim-Ly and Bunny into her tornado and once she left their places the 2 were in ninja uniforms. Kim-Ly's was a sleet grey while Bunny's was a light brown with dark green accents. "Kim-Ly is the ninja of Metal, and Bun-Bun is the ninja of nature! Welcome aboard!" Grace exclaimed, before looking tired and turned her attention to Zane.

"I haven't eaten all that much since these 2 took most of my food, can I have some ramen now?" Grace asked Zane, who smiled before nodding his head. Seconds later Grace found herself enjoying a big helping of ramen (think Lord Garmadon's helmet sized bowl filled to the brim...Yeah, she was hungry), and a few sushi pieces to go along with that.

Kim-Ly and Bunny sighed happily as they laid down on their separate beds, the 2 decided to share a room to avoid any... Inconveniences with the other ninja, Sensei, or Nya. "So, what do you think of this place so far Kim?" Bunny asked Kim-Ly, who quickly looked over the room.

It was basically like Grace's room, except it was split in 2 and part of it was colored in greys and silvers while the other half was green and brown. Both girl got a closet, vanity, a bed, a bed side table, then a small desk. "It's pretty good, no holes in the roofs and the people seem...Sane." Kim-Ly responded, and she couldn't help but smile when Bunny laughed a bit at her answer...Heh, maybe being a ninja could help Bunny out of her wall flower state.

"And you? What do you think of this place Mrs. Laughs-a-lot?" Kim-Ly asked Bunny, who quieted down her laughs a bit with a smile. "I think it's really nice!...Maybe we don't have to be so high up in the sky, but other then that I really like it here." Bunny said, before blushing at how Kim-Ly was smiling so mischievously at her. "I saw the way you were watching that Zane guy." Kim-Ly said, before her face was suddenly met with the fluffy high-flying, speeding pillow that Bunny was cuddling against only moments ago...Heh, maybe they should have went with different rooms.

At Night

Grace sighed as she looked up at the moon with sad eyes, tears threatening to fall as her legs laid still over the cliff's edge (the monastery is basically on a cliff, so she is at the front of the monastery for all of you who couldn't figure that out or who didn't realize this). Sensei Wu had told her that the boys had faced Lloyd, her little baby brother, earlier this morning...And that he had somehow gotten help from a Serpentine tribe, the Hypnobrai...

Why did he have to be bad? Why couldn't she have taken him with her all those years ago..?...Why did things have to turn out like this..?...

...

...

Grace sighed before her eyes were brimmed with determination. She would save Lloyd from those snakes ...She knew that they were planing something...And she would save him, even if it was the last thing that she did! Quickly Grace got up, and went back inside the Monastery...In hopes of finding more information on the Serpentine.

Moments Later

-?-?-

A ghost of a woman, who looked like an older version of Grace but with bleach blonde hair, sighed as she gently petted Grace's hair. Grace was in her room. This woman was Grace's mother, Karishma...Who looked around the room with a small smile on her face. Books were scattered on the desk, bed, and floor with papers that held notes on them resting underneath Grace's hand, which still held the pencil. Karishma giggled a bit, before placing a kiss on her daughter's forehead. "I know you'll save Lloyd Grace, I have faith in you." Karishma said, before disappearing into the stillness of the night.
