Wow, I updated. :D Unfortunately, I'm short on time, so review replies will be short.

Review repliezzzz:

Angel: Okay. As you might have noticed, I'm having trouble staying focused on fanfictions as well.

Guest: Um... what? Have you read any of my other stories?

KRR: ...well that was weird... poor Jake. What's with the nosebleed, Stan? Also, Tylor, I would appreciate it if you didn't blasphemy.

Windy: Oh dear. :C Does your leg hurt much? Yeah, the ending was fun to write. C: Ronin though... agh. *shakes head slowly* anyway. I look forward to being able to read your stories. :)

Petal: I know hardly anything about Slenderman. I would look him up, but that would only result in nightmares. I know that from experience. Very true.

Samantha: I'm glad you liked it. :)

Leb: The new episodes are pretty awesome. ^ ^ Don't get arrested! Then you couldn't review on my stories!

This one is a request by Windy. Probably I'll do Visatoarea10's next.

Dregons

Jessica walked down a sidewalk in New Ninjago City, humming softly to herself as she walked home from school. There was a bus, of course, but it was a nice day and she had felt like walking instead. That day had gone pretty well. She hadn't had to beat anyone up, she hadn't lost any friends, and she hadn't failed any classes. School sucked. After Lloyd had sent her home to her parents, her life had gotten much more... boring. Her parents were – surprisingly – not mad at her for running away, and welcomed her back with no punishment. She did have to go back to school though, which, as she had already established, sucked. She was picked on for being behind on her studies, as well as for being a Christian. The latter didn't really bother her, though. After all, the Bible said that those who were persecuted for following God would build up rewards in heaven. Still, it was hard only having one friend her age. Jessica was so focused on her thoughts that she didn't notice the young man in front of her until she bumped into him.

"Sorry." she said automatically, looking up from the ground to see a teenage boy in green standing on the sidewalk in front of her. With blond hair. And green eyes. "Lloyd?!" she exclaimed in surprise. His eyes widened in recognition.

"Shh!" he put a hand over her mouth. "I'm hiding." she nodded and he pulled his hand away.

"It's been forever since I've seen you!" she whispered. "I mean, face-to-face. You're on TV a lot. Wait, why are you hiding?" she tilted her head in confusion.

"Hiding from fangirls." Lloyd coughed. "Yeah. Ever since the other ninja and I beat the Preeminent, we're... well, celebrities. I'm on TV and the covers of magazines and all that. And now I can't go anywhere without getting swarmed by fangirls."

"Oh yeah." Jessica nodded. "Hence the hat."

"Yeah." the blond boy adjusted the fedora on his head. "How do I look?"

"Like you."

"Darn." he chuckled. "So how are you doing? I haven't heard from you since you went back home."

"Pretty well, I guess." she shrugged. "My life isn't nearly as interesting now as it used to be. But at least now I have a home." she smiled. "I've missed you."

"I missed you too." he replied, returning her smile.

"Really?" she asked, surprised. he opened his mouth to reply, but was cut off by a shout.

"Look! It's the green ninja!" a female voice yelled. "Right there!" Lloyd and Jessica turned to see a mob of girls across the street, one of whom was pointing at the blond-haired boy.

"Aaaaaaand that's the end of that." Lloyd let out a slow breath as the girls started to weave through the traffic towards them. A flash of green lit up the darkening street and the green energy dragon appeared. As Lloyd jumped into its saddle, Jessica sighed. Their first meeting in months and a bunch of fangirls had to go and ruin it. "Jessica!" she looked up as Lloyd said her name to see her holding out a hand to her. "Come ride with me!" she only hesitated a moment before taking his hand and letting him pull her up into the saddle. "Hold on tight." he said with a grin. She had only a moment to wrap her arms around him before the dragon took off – straight up. Jessica barely heard the chorus of disappointed "aww"s from below, she was too busy hanging on for dear life as the dragon shot upward. When they were about three hundred feet above the ground, Lloyd's dragon slowed to a stop and hovered above the city, facing the west as the sun slipped below the horizon.

"Wow." Jessica broke the silence after a few moments. "I've never seen the city from this high up before."

"Don't fall off." he reminded her, looking over his shoulder to smile at her.

"Wouldn't you catch me if I did?" she raised an eyebrow at him, returning his smile.

"Yeah, if you falling to your death didn't give me a heart attack."

"Ninjas aren't supposed to get heart attacks."

"Ninja. And they might if their friends dived off a dregon from three hundred feet in the air."

"Wanna test it?"

"No."

"I'm a daredevil. I'm sure I'd survive." she said teasingly.

"I'm serious, Jessica. Don't." he sounded worried.

"Okay. I won't." she tightened her arms around him and rested her head on his shoulder. He made a good pillow. They were both silent for a few moments before Lloyd said,

"Jessica, I think..." he stopped. She lifted her head off his shoulder.

"Think what?" she asked curiously.

"I... think it's getting late." he said in a rush. "I should take you home."

"Oh. Okay." She let her head fall back on his shoulder. "My parents are gonna be really confused."

"Because you show up riding on a dregon with one of the most popular celebrities of the week?"

"I'm pretty sure you've been popular for more than a week. And, yep, that's about right."

"Heh." he chuckled as his dragon began to descend towards the city. "Where do you live?"

"324 Sycamore st." she replied. He nodded and steered the glowing green dragon towards her house. Once they got there, however, they were annoyed to discover a group of fangirls on the street waiting for them.

"It's hard to be inconspicuous when riding on a dregon." Lloyd muttered, shaking his head.

"I'm surprised they knew where we were going, though." Jessica said, lifting her head from his shoulder to look at the mob of fangirls.

"Never underestimate fangirls." he shook his head. After a moment, he let the dragon vanish and its two riders dropped onto the roof of Jessica's house.

"Thanks for the ride. That was fun." she smiled.

"You're welcome." he smiled back. "I have to go before the fangirls find me."

"Yeah, I know." he started to turn away, to summon his dragon again, but before he could she stepped forward and hugged him, stopping him in his tracks. After he got over his surprise, he hugged her back. "Visit again soon, 'kay?" she asked, letting go of him and stepping back.

"I'll do my best." he smiled at her one last time before summoning his dragon and flying away into the dusk.

"Jessica?" the teenage girl turned around to see her mom frowning at her through the window that opened out near her. "Why are you standing on the roof?"

Well that was fun. Hope you like, Windy. ;) Remember back when I said I wasn't going to ship Lloyd and Jessica? So much for that.

~FFF

P.S. I would appreciate some nice reviews, to remind myself that there ARE good people in the world.
