Morning (3 days later)
Sensei Wu breathed in heavily, deep in concentration of trying to figure out- "My turn! Uh, It's my turn!" "HEY!" "LOOK OUT!" yells and screams were heard from his students, sighing Sensei Wu sat up and placed the magical flute back into a cabinet before checking the game room. And he was more then surprised to see no one in there. "Where are they..?" Sensei Wu mumbled before hearing more yells from the Training Hall. He quickly paced before opening the door to see his students. Cole was attacking the dummies, Jay and Kim-Ly (using her ninja weapon of gauntlets) were dodging and shielding from arrows, Kai and Bunny (with her weapons, a meteor hammer, was strapped to her waist via string) were practicing Spinjitsu, then Zane and Grace were meditating with each other.
"-and breathe out." Grace whispered to Zane who was directly opposite to her. Zane suddenly looked up before flipping past Jay and Kim-Ly, stealing Cole's scythe and attacking the dummies himself, before using Spinjitsu and freezing a good portion of the ground. "This roof isn't big enough for the 7 of us." Kai stated as he slipped over to Cole, Kim-Ly, Bunny, and Jay, while Grace still meditated. "Correction, this roof isn't big enough for him." Cole stated as the 3 boys and Kim-Ly glared at Zane, who had stopped spinning. Bunny herself was a bit confused at how to react to this. "It's like he's in his own world *looks at Zane* I bet he can't even hear us!" Jay exclaimed as Zane continued his odd behavior, right as Sensei Wu walked to them and Grace stopped meditating.
"Sensei...Zane's... Weird." Kai told the older man, who looked at the 5 of the ninja around him (all besides Grace and Zane). "What is weird? Someone who is different..? Or...Someone who is different from you..?" Sensei Wu asked as Zane bowed before a training dummy, who then hit him on the head. "No Sensei, he's...Weird, weird." Cole said before the 3 boys explained their odd experiences with their brother. "Plus me and Bun-Bun here have had our odd encounters with him to. For instance." Kim-Ly began, earning a glare from Bunny. "Don't call me Bun-Bun!" Bunny harshly yelled, yet Kim-Ly only laughed at this before telling the boys' hers and Bunny's story.
2 Days Ago
Kim-Ly was practicing Spinjitsu, her and Bunny having learned it in 1 day, before blinking when she saw Zane. Now, it wasn't strange to see Zane walking around, but..."Uh...Zane..? Is that...A tutu?" Kim-Ly asked Zane as he walked on his tip-toes in a frilly pink tutu, Zane placed his hands on his hips before turning to Kim-Ly. "Like, give me some space woman! GOD!" Zane said in a snappy teenage girl's voice, before smiling as he tip toed away from the really confused Metal Ninja.
Yesterday
Bunny frowned as she scratched her head, apparently looking for something in her's and Kim-Ly's room. "Where is my paint?" Bunny asked herself as she continued to look around the neat room...Before she turned when a knock came from her door. Quickly Bunny walked to the door and opened it, before blinking when she saw Zane in her doorway, with empty paint tubes in his hands. After a moment of silence Zane gave the tubes to Bunny. "Uhh...Thanks..?" Bunny said a bit uncomfortably, and she felt a bit awkward when Zane giggled to her before turning and walking down the hallway.
After a second or so Bunny looked out the door and she continued to blink when she saw a multitude of colored paints on Zane's back.
Present
"We like the guy, he's really smart...He's just..Uh, a little off sometimes." Kai told, yet Sensei Wu shook his head. "Zane is a brother, and brothers are often different...I should know." Sensei Wu stated sadly, the other ninjas couldn't help but frown at that. "Hey...Where's Grace?" Kim-Ly asked as she looked around, all found that Grace had disappeared.
Outside Monastery
Grace hummed happily as she walked up the steps, before seeing the male man. "Excuse me sir, if you want I can take the mail for you." Grace stated to the mail man, who smiled at her kindly. "Thanks, you can't believe how long the trip is from the bottom to the top." the Mailman said as he slugged his mail carrier off his shoulders. "Let's see...A letter from Jay's parents...Kai has a fan letter...A package for Bunny and Kim-Ly, then letters for the 2 of them...Oh, something from Cole's father." the Mailman explained as he gave Grace the objects, Grace blinked before looking up at the mail man. "I-I think there is suppose to be a package from Creatures, Beasts, and Beyond also." Grace told, the mail man scratched his head as he looked back into her carrier. "Hmmm...No, nothing from..Ah! Ah here it is." the Mailman exclaimed as he gave Grace the package, Grace smiled at him. "Thank you!" Grace chimed as she ran up the rest of the stairs. "No thank you!" the Mailman yelled happily before slinging back on his carrier and walking down the mountain.
Monastery
Grace walked through the front doors. "Maaaaail!" Grace chimed as she held the letters up, the package under her arm. "Aw yeah!" Jay yelled as he, Kai, and Cole rushed over to Grace. "A letter from Jay's parents, a fan letter for Kai, a letter from Cole's dad, and here is your package from Creatures, Beast, and Beyond Cole. Then packages and letters to our newest members, Kim-Ly and Bunny." Grace stated as she handed out everyone's parcel before walking into the Monastery's kitchen. "Hah! Rocky's gonna love this!" Cole exclaimed before running to the Dragon's Den, Jay looked up from opening his letter to see a somewhat sad Zane. "Hey Zane, how come you never hear anything from your parents?" Jay asked Zane, who blinked at him.
"I...Don't remember by parents...I've been a orphan all of my life." Zane replied softly, Kai and Jay looked at each other before looking back at Zane. Bunny herself frowned a bit at this, never had she known what it was like being alone due to her family, and she would never wish for someone like Zane to feel that way. Kim-Ly frowned a bit at this also, but kept a bit quiet at this, if she needed to add in a few words then she would. "You mean you've never had a home?" Kai asked, Zane shook his head no. "The monastery is your home now." Sensei Wu told the Ice Ninja, Zane frowned a bit before walking away and going to the kitchen.
With the Hypnobrai and Lloyd
Skales watched from his mind at the scene of Rocky eating while Rattla (it's his actual name, it is stated on the Wikipedia page) watched. "I can't believe you hypnotized one of the ninja. Does general know?" Rattle asked, Skales shook his head. "Course not! He's been put underneath the control of Lloyd! And I plan to use it for my besssst intressst." Skales stated to Rattle, who stared at him. Rattla soon walked away at the General Slithraa walked out.
"Everyone works while you two sssslack! Asss my sssecond in command, I expect more from you Ssssskales!" General Slithraa hissed, Skales frowned slightly. "Yessss General." Skales droned on as he bowed before the General, who started to slither away. "General, you know I am most loyal to you. But I must question thissss childish agenda! The ninjassss have stolen our ssstaff, yet you inssstruct your army this..Play houssse for Lloyd?" Skales questioned the General, who stopped and faced him.
"You know better then to quessstion my judgment Sssskales, I'll pretend you didn't asssssk." General Slithraa explained, before Lloyd yelled. "Hey! If we plan to rule Ninjago from here, this elevator needs to have a trap door! I WANT MORE BOOBY TRAPS!" Lloyd yelled from the elevator, General Slithraa bowed quickly. "Assss you wisssh, Young Garmadon." General Slithraa commanded as he instructed Skales to go, which he did after being motioned to. "Asss you wish, General." Skales stated as he went inside the tree house.
Kitchen
Zane walked in to see Grace getting out all the things Zane needed for making dinner. "I...Thought that I would help you cook dinner Zane." Grace explained as she smiled at Zane, who smiled back at her. "Thank you, that is greatly appreciated." Zane spoke in a thankful voice as he placed a pink apron on, Grace smiled at him before putting on her own bright yellow apron on. "What happened to your blue apron?" Zane asked as he washed his hands, Grace frowned at the question. "Turns out Kai didn't know it was my apron, so his tied it up and gave it to Flame as a chew toy." Grace stated as she took out different spices for dinner. "Oh, I am sorry to hear about that." Zane said to Grace before silence over took the two, though it was a peaceful silence.
...
"You know Zane...I wonder...Do you think our elements actually represent who we are?" Grace asked Zane, who blinked at her. "What do you mean?" Zane asked, Grace smiled lightly at him. "Well...Think about it. Kai has a big temper, which means fire is a good element to represent him. Kim-Ly isn't going down without a fight, yet can be brought into something so metal is good for her. Bunny is a shy wall flower, yet she blooms in where ever she is needed and in what she excels in. Cole is rather strong and stands his ground, unmovable like the Earth. Then Jay is rather loud, yet very quick, so lightning represents him fairly well also." Grace explained to the boy ninja beside her, who blinked at her before frowning lightly.
"Does that mean that I am cold as ice?" Zane asked in a sad voice, yet he blinked when Grace shook her head no. "No, I think...That you are ice because you have qualities of both air and water. Which elementally will create ice. Air is quiet and is meant for support. While water is generally calm, yet when angered can be very dangerous." Grace explained calmly to Zane, who smiled at her.
"Does...Does that really sound like me?" Zane asked, almost happy that he was not a "cold" person. "Yes, it does." Grace said confidently, giving him a smile of her own. "Zane...I...I honestly do think of you as a brother, so please...If you ever have a problem or need some one to talk to...Just find me." Grace told Zane, who smiled at her before enveloping her in a hug. "Thank you Grace, you are will always be a sister to me." Zane stated happily, Grace couldn't help but smile as she hugged her brother. "Come on, we need to finish dinner before they send Cole down here and he decides to cook." Grace joked as she grinned at Zane, who chuckled lightly. The 2 then continued cooking, a more friendly air around them as it seems.
Dinning Room
Jay nibbled on some of the food. "Mmm, oh I love it when Zane's night to cook!" Jay exclaimed, Nya agreed with him. "Plus I love it when Grace cooks with him." Nya added as she too nibbled the food, Cole looked rather smug. "Heeey, I didn't hear any complaints about my Duck Chowder last night." Cole said happily, yet Kai looked at him kind of funny. "Yeah, cause it glued out mouths shut. You really thought Jay was speechless all throughout dinner?" Kai asked, Cole turned to Jay. "Yeah, please don't make that again." Jay stated quickly, causing a laughing/giggle fit from Kim-Ly and Bunny, before Zane and Grace brought out the turkey. "Dinner is served." Zane stated happily, everyone blinked when they saw Zane and Grace wearing their aprons.
...
Everyone bursted out laughing. "What's so funny?" Zane asked, Grace nodded along with him. "G-Guys your wearing..! Pff, even I wouldn't wear that!" Nya laughed along with Bunny and Kim-Ly, both Grace and Zane blinked at her. "So...It's funny that we want to keep clean..?(Grace)""You laugh because we take steps to ensure that I am clean after cooking?(Zane)" both asked at the same time, yet Grace was a bit more of a snappy response then Zane's. "No! We laughed because you both came out in those ridiculous outfits!" Kai exclaimed while laughing, both Zane and Grace blinked at him. Zane because he didn't understand, and Grace because she didn't find it all that funny. "I guess we don't share the same sense of humor." Zane state plainly as Grace stood by the door.
"How 'bout, this." Cole stated before he picked up a plate of food and shoved it into Kai's face, everyone besides Zane and Grace (who didn't like to waste food) laughed with him. "Aw come on, how can you guys not find that fun-Auugh!" Cole yelled in the end when Sensei dumped a bowl of food on his head, Kai and Sensei chuckled at that. "Now, you are brothers and sister." Sensei Wu stated as he placed his hands on Zane and Cole's shoulder, and also nodded to Grace, before Sensei Wu sat back down.
Everyone besides Grace and Zane (even Bunny threw a few bits of food into the fight, yet she stopped once Kim-Ly poured tea onto her) then started and took part in a massive food fight.
Later that Night
"-I honestly wonder why I don't have a sense of humor." Zane told Grace as the 2 took out the trash and took off their now food covered aprons. "Everyone has different opinions on things Zane, you can't let that bring you down." Grace comforted Zane as she placed a hand on his shoulder, Zane smiled at her before the 2 heard a Falcon cried. Both turned to see a Falcon on a branch of a tree near them "You see the Falcon to, right?" Grace asked Zane, who nodded his head while blinking and leaned his head to the side. Good, Grace wasn't going crazy...Yet...Both Zane and Grace blinked when the Falcon copied Zane's movements.
"Heh." Grace giggled slightly as Zane then proceeded to flap his arms and switch from leg to leg, only for the Falcon to copy him again. Zane and Grace smiled at each other before looking at the Falcon, who began to fly away. "Let's follow him." Grace excitingly whispered after she and Zane looked back at the Monastery before back at the Falcon. Zane nodded his head before the 2 began to run after the fast moving falcon.
Forest
Zane and Grace were quick to follow the Falcon through the forest, the Falcon stopped to see if Zane and Grace were behind him every once and a while before going back to flying. Grace soon found herself leading with Zane not to far behind her, yet he stopped when he heard her gasp. "Zane...I think you might wanna see this." Grace stated to Zane, who went next to her. Zane gasped when he saw Lloyd's secret hideout...
...
Zane looked over to Grace, who frowned at how her brother was acting. "...We need to go tell the others." Grace stated after shedding one tear, and altough he was a bit confused at this action, Zane nodded in agreement before the 2 thanked the Falcon and then ran back to the monastery.
