It was thanksgiving in Ninjago and Zane planned to make it the best one ever considering it was his first one back after the whole Overlord was up before dawn and already in the kitchen making breakfast for his friends. He had everything on the table before the rest of the ninja woke up. The others awoke to the intoxicating aroma of Zane's waffles and were all in the kitchen before you could say "Hello".Zane had placed a sign on the kitchen door to tell Cole to keep out.
"Remember last thanksgiving when Cole made the turkey" asked Jay
"Dude don't remind us,that thing tasted like fireplace soot. If anything it made us just miss Zane even more" said Kai
"Guys come on my turkey wasn't that bad" said Cole
"Uh yeah it was" said Lloyd "No offense Cole but you can't cook, at all,and last thanksgiving you promised to never cook again and you utterly failed to keep that promise"
"Fine" said Cole as he floated off. Cole wandered through the bounty wondering what he could do to help get ready for this 's families were coming and all the ninja had roles to play, Zane was doing the cooking, Kai was setting the table, Jay was messing with the cable tv so that when one football game went to a commercial another station that had another game would play that way they could watch every football game playing, Lloyd and Nya were cleaning the ship, and Cole, had nothing to do. He didn't want to clean because it involved water and Jay tended to get really mean if you tried to mess with some project of his. Cole wasn't allowed in the kitchen though he really didn't understand why. Soon the smell of turkey cooking,wafted through the ship and that gave Cole an Idea. The ghostly black ninja floated through the kitchen wall while Zane's back was turned,and went into the oven where the turkey was cooking. Cole possessed the decedent stuffing filled bird and waited for the right time to strike. Zane would pay for banning Cole from the kitchen. Zane began to whistle as he prepared the sweet potatoes then stuck them in the oven. One thing after another entered the oven and each smell that came from them was enough to make the whole bounty smell like heaven. Soon everything but the turkey was ready and Cole really wished that the creamy green bean casserole was still in there,as good as it was,the smell of turkey was becoming tiring to it came out if the oven as saw his chance and used his possession of the bird to make it leap out of the pan and run around the kitchen.
"What in the name of spinjitzu is going on?" asked Zane as he chased the turkey around the room.
"Analysis shows that a foreign entity has entered the food" said Pixal
"COLE GET OUT OF THE TURKEY BEFORE I CALL NYA TO SPRAY YOU" shouted knew that he was in trouble now,Zane never made threats especially deadly ones. Cole walked the roasted bird back into the pan and got out of it finding himself eye to eye with a very annoyed Zane.
"How long were you in there" asked Zane
"Since just before you put the sweet potatoes in" said Cole
"Get out of my kitchen now" said Zane
"Fine" said Cole. All the others were at the door,shocked that Zane had gotten so angry.
"Dude you know that when Zane is in the kitchen it's like his kingdom anyone but him in there while he is cooking is like armed invaders trying to take over,what the heck were you thinking" said Jay
"And not to mention that this is his first year back with us" said Kai
"I just wanted to have a little fun since all of you were busy and I wasn't" said Cole
"Then next time ask us for a job to do and don't make Zane mad" said Nya
"Well sorry for trying to have a little fun in this new form" said Cole rolling his eyes
"Go help Kai in the dining room,posses the napkins to fold themselves or something" said and Kai went back to the dining room and Nya went into the kitchen to see if Zane needed some real help.
"Hi Zane" said Nya in a friendly voice
"Greetings Nya,I assume you came to help cook" said Zane
"Yeah what do you need me to do" said Nya
"If you could wash the dishes so that the sink isn't overflowing that would be greatly appreciated" said Zane
"Sure" said Nya as she went to the sink.
"Thank you" said Zane as he began peeling potatoes for the six different types he was making.
"No problem" said everything was done and everyone had arrived, Jay's tinkering actually worked so all the guys were watching football,well all except Zane who was finishing up things in the kitchen and setting all the food on the came from the other room and all the women were gossiping in the bridge. It would be half an hour before everyone came to the table to eat so Zane went to his room to have some alone time with Pixal.
"I'm exhausted Pixal" said Zane tiredly
"I would imagine so,you've been up since before dawn and it's nearly seven at night now" said Pixal
"I used to cook thanksgiving meals every year" said Zane
"Well there are more people this year and the incident with Cole earlier didn't help matters" said Pixal
"I suppose that I should get used to this because we are bound to make more friends over the years so our numbers will only grow" said Zane
"Indeed" said Pixal
"*sigh* I wish Cole could be taught to cook decent food or that Kai would stop being so protective of Nya because he won't allow her near the stove" said Zane
"I know Zane help would be appreciated whenever we're in the kitchen but as it is you are the only one on this ship who can cook so unless something changes this is how it is going to be" said Pixal. Soon it was time to eat and everyone was praising Zane's cooking.
"Zane you have done it once again,cooked food worthy of heaven" said Jay
"Thank you many of these recipes I learned to make during the week I spent up in heaven after my battle with the overlord so they should taste just as good" said comment made everyone fill their plates for the fourth or fifth time. Jay began shoveling food into his face hardly caring what it was that he was eating because it all tasted amazing. Zane was eating moderate serving sizes while everyone else had their plates filled to the brim.
"This confirms it Zane is the only person on this ship allowed in that kitchen from now on" said Jay with his mouth full of just continued eating his food
"Pass the rolls" said Zane and Nya buttered one before starting a conversation with Misako about different prophecies and stuff. After dessert,which was just as amazing a dinner,everyone went into the living room to talk. The first person to fall asleep was Zane,who was sprawled across the couch.
"We should probably let him just sleep there,no point in waking him is he is comfortable" said Jay. Nya draped a blanket across the sleeping nindroid and the conversations got quieter. Soon everyone went to bed but left Zane to sleep on the couch considering Lloyd was on a sugar high from too much pie so he wouldn't stop bouncing on the bed. 'Best Thanksgiving ever' thought Jay as he drifted off to sleep.
The End
