Two down, two more to go...A Ninja of Poison and A Ninja of Metal...What other types of Ninja are there? Yes, it's Lily's turn...Get out a cup and a tissue because this will absolutely melt your heart and make you cry...Gotta put it somewhere so you can put it back in!

And I'd like to take this time to remind everyone that this was decided before all Ninja were showed off to us and it's one part that I will not change so please don't comment that I got something wrong, thank you.

This is a work of fiction after all!

All OCs belong to me, Ninjago belongs to LEGO. Respect this and we'll get along fine.

Chapter 25: A Forgotten Love

Tiffany washed off the bright grey bubbles off of Kyra's hair, Kyra giggled in excitement. Tiffany offered to dye Kyra's hair, a means of finally breaking away from their Father and a rebirth of sorts. She asked her sister what color she would like, it would be something metallic. She deemed it appropriate to her title, the Metal Ninja. Kyra had picked a bright grey, against her tanned skin...It was a grand contrast. The color of polished stainless steel...Again, it was appropriate. She blew dried it and smirked in pride, was she good or what? Kyra saw her new hair color and blushed lightly, she loved it! She hugged her sister, surprising Tiffany. She began to thank her over and over, Tiffany got annoyed with it but smiled still. Her fake persona was gone now and now a sweeter and more warmer Kyra was in her place, this Kyra annoyed her less since it was the real deal...Kyra put on the new grey Gi, it felt heavier then the others. Tiffany explained that there was actual metal woven into the fabric, thus why it was heavy. While many would think that the reason for this was to handle the abuse from her opponent, they would only be half right. Much like the twin edges of a sword, it handled the abuse from the enemy AND the ninja alike. Defense and Offense...Nabiki made her a new whip since the old one didn't suit her, unraveling. A nice metal whip and a chain bo staff...Again, for offense and defense...While a whip wasn't a traditional weapon for Ninja...Nabiki commented that it suited it's owner in being orthodox...

Her silver chandelier earrings were discarded, Tiffany had found new ones that suited in new Kyra... Large silver discs, they made a bell like sound that sounded much more pleasant. Not as an alarm but more like a softer greeting to those around her, that she was there. She had Kai to thank for making such Earrings, pissed that Nabiki fashioned Kyra's weapon behind his back. Tiffany chuckled, he made it sound like Kyra was cheating on him! But it was adorable, how he got so jealous over such small things. He had nothing to worry about, since Kyra was very much interested in him still. She thought Kai too tough to make something delicate like Earrings but joke was on her for that...Kyra flicked one and giggled at the bell like chime, liking the sound. "Where did you get these, they're so pretty!" Kyra asked. Tiffany smirked at her, "Kai made those, he got super pissed that Nabiki made your weapon so he wasn't letting her make your earrings!" Tiffany laughed.

Kyra beamed and blushed, Kai made these for her? Now she loved them even more! Tiffany pulled her up, time to show her off. She had to kick Kai out so many times that she swore if she saw his ass, her footprint would be TATTOOED onto it! Once out, all saw her. Kai growled at Tiffany, whom just gave a smirk at him. What? Was this silver haired fox too much temptation for him? Good, Kai should be tortured a little. She liked messing with him because his reactions were just a riot! No wonder Cole-baby likes to rag on him so much, it was fun! The silver haired girl then took him by the sides of his face and kissed him, stunning all. She forgot to do this after he saved her so she wanted to "reward" her sweet little pet for saving her...Lily smiled at this sadly, she was happy for Kyra and Tiffany but she felt a bit...jealous...

"Will you marry me, Lillian Eclair Jones?"

"Yes. When we're all grown up and your all better...I'll be your bride."

Lily woke up from her desk with a start, looking around. She saw the waterfall screen saver in front of her and groaned softly, she fell asleep on her keyboard again...She had a bad habit of doing this. She'd get so wrapped up into her writing that she'd forget to go to bed, falling asleep on her Keyboard. Please tell her she didn't drool or worse yet, made page upon page of massive gibberish with her cheek! She moved the mouse and groaned in frustration, while grateful that she didn't have gibberish, she wasn't happy that she was having another writer's block! She was writing the Chapter that Sinclair and her love interest met again, only this time, she remembers him in that instant. She was having trouble describing it, the words ceasing to come to her and it bothered her! She then sighed, she saved it and shut the computer off. Once away from her writer's mindset, she began to wonder about the little dream she had just now. She quelled her mind and though back onto it, before it disappeared on her. It seemed...important...She closed her eyes, trying to pull it back before it retreated out of her grasp.

Her dream was set in a hospital room, with a pot of flowers, IVs and even a window with snow against it...During winter, she was sure. It looked to be night time, she was in a bed where she was next to a hospital bed. A cot...She had gotten up and went to the person in the bed, she assumed she was a child due to the sound her voice being so high and the bed seemed so tall. The person she was talking to was blurred out, she could vaguely make out his body. She could barely see the colors, how frustrating! The conversation was garbled, farther frustrating her! She was sure this was a little boy, the voice and his small stature clear enough. Whoever this was, she didn't mind sleeping in his hospital room overnight. Something she never thought herself to do for a boy and with her Father's permission!

It wasn't until she climbed up on the bed and stood up, only for the little boy to stand then get down on one knee. He held her hand into both of his hands and looked up at her, she recognized this gesture. He was proposing to her...

"Will you marry me, Lillian Eclair Jones?" He asked.

She blushed and felt tears running down her face, so happy she was proposed to. She nodded at him, She remembered feeling so much joy, he seemed so important! Why the devil couldn't she remember him clearly?! He proposed to her at such a young age and yet she couldn't even make out his face!

"Yes. When we're all grown up and your all better...I'll be your bride." She answered.

She was pulled closer to him, she assumed the little boy kissed her. And just like that, the dream ended. She let out a small scream in anger, that seemed all so very important so why couldn't she remember it in clarity?! This little boy knew about her full name, something she never told ANYONE! She and he had a relationship that was close enough for him to propose to her! Yes, children mimicked adults to seem more grown up but this seemed too real. The boy sounded completely serious, that only vexed her more! She closed her eyes, trying to go to sleep in her bed.

She would consult Tiffany about it tomorrow...

On the bounty, Zane yawned. His awareness was down by 20%, he hadn't slept well. How could he when he gets a dream like that? He was so sure robots could not dream but he for some reason or another, could. He assured himself that it was something his inventor made so Zane could be as human as possible...He accepted that he was a robot but he referred himself as "He." and not an "It.". He treated himself as a person despite understanding that he was what Jay labeled, An Nindroid...He shook his head, now was not the time for fighting about his existence as bot or as a man! He had to try and figure out that dream he had, why did he have it? He pulled up what was left of the file, it seemed to be corrupted. A lot of parts to it were missing, large chunks of it were gone. He fussed as he tried looking through it. Trying to remember it...

All he saw was a hospital room, seeing a bouquet of Flowers in a vase. They were pretty and looked delicate, colored a pure white. He saw a windowsill coated in heavy snow, a snowstorm. He was laying down in a hospital bed but it looked so big, as if he were a child. But he was a Nindroid and robot do not age...He was sure of that! he then sat up and looked to his left, seeing a cot with a small child in it. The child was blurred out, he could barely see them! The garbled voice sounded like a girl, the color of her hair visible even thought it was dark in the room. Bright red...Somehow, this little girl then got on the bed with him and stood up. After she did that, he got up and then bent down, he recognized this. It was something people did when they were so in love that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together, this was called proposing. She looked down at him, he looked up at her with a warm smile.

"Will you marry me, Lilian Eclair Jones?" he asked her. Wait, he PROPOSED to this girl!?

"Yes. When we're all grow up and your all better...I'll be your bride." She answered. And she said YES?!

He then pulled her to him, he assumed that he kissed her. And the file stopped playing, he groaned loudly. Bloody hell, this seemed so damn important! Why was it so corrupted!? It seemed more like a memory but that puzzled him, if it was, why couldn't he remember it clearly?! He was a robot, he didn't have a childhood to remember! Zane then froze, or did he actually have one? His creation was years ago, it shouldn't surprise him if he did and all the files pertaining to it were lost or got deleted...And that little girl...Whoever she was, she meant a lot to him. She must have for him to propose to her and for her to say yes! Why did he feel her familiar? That red hair...It's shade was uncanny, yet he saw it somewhere before. On Someone...

Lily walked in, seeing Zane standing there. She went over to him, waving a hand at him.

Throughout the day, the two felt awkward. Lily was kind enough to fetch him some water and even spit a Kiwi between them, all actions felt so familiar...Why? He stared at Lily's hair all day, the color striking him. It looked so close to the little girl's hair in his dream but instead of held up, it flowed down. And the little girl didn't have glasses, Lily did. Cherise looked around, no sign of Tiffany. She greeted them and asked if they saw Tiffany, Cole was the size of a small doll! All her doing, she was two steps back! She was suppose to get better, not worse! Cole was pissed as Lloyd and Jay poked the mini Black Ninja, like little kids. While cute, Cole was clearly pissed at her. She tried to warn Blackie not to eat any of her cakes as she use to drug food to incapacitate her subjects but he ignored her, finding out why he shouldn't. She looked all over the bounty for her, fed up of her hiding.

"Tiffany Sinclair Jones! Get out here and cure Cole, I though you were done with experimenting on him!" Cherise yelled.

Zane blinked at that name, Sinclair? Lily giggled, full name? Tiffany was in trouble now, rarely did any of them resort to full name call. It was reserved when either sister was mad at the particular sister they called, real mad! Zane asked if they all had a middle name, Lily giggled. She nodded, yes and all similar to each other too. She was told they were names within the Jones Family, actual members of the family. All female she assumed, she didn't know any men possessing such effeminate names! Zane smiled at Lily, what was hers? Cherise blushed a bit, embarrassed by her own middle name. Lloyd walked in and asked what Cherise's middle name was, he bet it was something really cute! Cherise shook her head at Lily, don't tell either of them! "Our middle names are from actual members of the Jones family, Tiffany and my middle names belong to our great aunts while Cherise and Kyra's belong to our great,great,great aunts..." Lily answered.

"Cherise Linclair Jones, Tiffany Sinclair Jones, Kyra Rinclair Jones and mine is Lillian Eclair Jones...I have to say my is quite bore-some, it just sounds so old!" She chuckled lightly.

Cherise groaned, she told them! Lloyd chuckled, Linclair? That's too cute! He liked it, he just knew it was cute! Zane smiled before freezing up again, Eclair? That name...The exact name as the girl in the dream...But it just CAN'T be...How could THAT be right?! Lily saw his stunned look, she got worried. What was that face for? Tiffany ran down the hallway, she was holding something very important! Dr. Yogan asked Zane to come to the hospital for a check up, this freaked her out. No way he didn't know Zane was a bot! She was about to tell him about it and tell him to decline it, too many knew he wasn't human! She walked in and saw Zane's almost catatonic stare, seeing Lily shaking him away. She recognized the glazed over look as his eyes, she pushed her sister away for a moment.

She flicked his nose, that seemed to snap him out of it as he rubbed his nose to make it stop tingling. She then looked at the letter and felt a shiver as she looked at Zane's face. Attracted to the letter was hospital records of a patient with Zane's name and a picture of a little boy...She dropped it in complete shock, it JUST can't be...

The picture was of a little boy with sandy blond locks and ice blue eyes, it was a complete match to Zane's looks...point for point...

For any of this to be true, for Zane to be the same Zane as the one in the picture...

He died and came back...Meaning his inventor had done something forbidden...

Dr. Julien had brought his dead son back from the grave...

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought of this plot for Zane, I wanted this for the original but I felt it wasn't good enough. Well, I tweaked it along with the lore I made in the past stories and now we learn that Zane was once flesh and blood, how did Dr. Julien do it?

And why does Dr. Yogan want to check up on Zane? What does HE know?

And just what kind of relationship did he and Lily have in his past human life? Will either one of them remember it?
